Listen Again: There's Less to Do Than You Think

Recently I asked for a sign that a painting I’d been working on was the right course for me. The next day, a stranger’s near-death story described my painting almost perfectly. That coincidence reminded me of James Carse’s book Finite and Infinite Games. One is built on winning; the other on continuing to play. In this Gathering Room, I explore how shifting from chasing status to embracing growth and surprise can dissolve anxiety, deepen creativity, and open us to a much bigger, ongoing game. Join me!

The Bliss of the Infinite Game

Sometimes there’s a book that stops me in my tracks, and that’s what happened when I found the work of Tracee Stanley. Today she joins me to talk about her new book, Living Ritual, which is timely not just for me, but for all of us. We discuss distraction as the great thief, how to honor transitions with sacred intention, and the new consciousness rising in the world. Tracee also shares her beautiful Purpose Stone ritual. If you long to add more meaning to your daily life, this conversation is for you.

Special Guest: Tracee Stanley

I’ve noticed a pattern lately: hard workers, high achievers, people with strong identities all saying the same thing— “I just have to stop.” I’m taking it as an invitation. Like fascia releasing into strange, unplanned shapes, we may need to give up who we thought we were to receive what we truly need. In this Gathering Room, I talk frozen shoulders, trauma shaking, and how your body knows the way home. Join me to practice letting go and holding on loosely, so you can take your next “unthinkable” step.
