In this special “Listen Again” episode of The Gathering Room, I explore the disorienting, identity-dissolving place we enter after major life changes...what I call “Square One” in my Change Cycle methodology. I walk you through all four stages of the Change Cycle, answer listener questions about navigating change, and lead a calming meditation to help you surrender the wheel and trust what comes next. If you’re in Square One and want to get through it with more grace and ease, this episode is for you.

Listen Again: Big Change. Now What? 

The Tao Te Ching says, “Hope is as hollow as fear. Whether you go up the ladder or down, your position is shaky.” In this “Listen Again” episode of The Gathering Room, I talk about how easy it is to get stuck in the awful place between hope and fear when important things are on the line. I share my definitions of mindfulness and equanimity, and how these two practices can help you step off that shaky ladder, ground yourself in the present moment, and mother yourself through difficult times. Join me!

Listen Again: When You’re Caught Between Hope and Fear

On a recent morning walk, I wondered what would be recognized as king of the forest: Oaks? Bears? Bambi’s father? As it turns out, it’s fungus! In this Gathering Room, I explore Suzanne Simard’s discovery of the “woodwide web” underground, and why our lives are better seen as a compilation of connections than of achievements. I’ll also guide you in meditation and answer your questions on yearning, creativity, and finding glimmers. If you’re tired of always striving to achieve, come connect with me.

As life in this day and age gets more unpredictable, the best plan you can make is one you’re willing to change. On this episode of The Gathering Room, I talk about the paradox of living by signs and symbols, and why absolutism, whether in science or religion, will tank you when life keeps right-angle-turning. I’ll share what Asian traditions taught me about the present moment, and how the American football trick “calling an audible” can help you trust yourself and let the day unfold. Come join me!
