Episode 14 - Hope

“Don’t get your hopes up”. That’s a phrase some of us might be familiar with. We use it often, not because we don’t like having hope, but because we don’t like being disappointed or let down. However, we shouldn’t let our desire to shield ourselves from disappointment keep us from the great experience of having hope in the waiting and seeing what we have hoped for come to be.

In this episode, we look at hope from all the angles and explore the effects it can have on our everyday lives. We look at why hope is so essential to living a full life, how to tip the scales more towards the positive experiences, hope in community and so much more.

Episode 13 - Loose Grip (Part 2) - Receive

We are all familiar with starting new things. It is pretty natural as children when we learned to hold things, walk and talk. Later in life however, it may become something that we don’t take to quite as naturally anymore and could keep us from receiving opportunities that are presented to us. For some, starting a new chapter might seem a daunting task and for others it may be difficult to leave the current comfort zone.

In this episode, we carry on the conversation with my bro Carl who also kindly helped compose the new jingle for the podcast. He is a great friend, and he shares how he gets moving from his comfort zone, how the problems of the past have been transformed and much more.

Episode 12 - Loose Grip (Part 1) - Release

We all have things that are part of our lives that we consider essential, and I’m sure we are all familiar with these things to varying degrees. Maybe they are things that we would find difficult to give up or things that we are endlessly chasing. Is holding unto them good for us? And more importantly, are all these things necessary for us to live full lives?

Sometimes we might find that we struggle with letting go of things we want to stop, and that can prevent us from having the capacity to pick up something new. In this episode, I have the pleasure of talking about how we navigate this part of life well with my great friend Carl. Carl shares part of his story and shares the lessons he learned along the way.

Episode 11 - Gratitude (Part 2) - Presence

It can be really tough to find anything to be grateful for when we are in the midst of a storm of life. When everything that happens feels like another weight has been added on our backs, those times especially are when gratitude boosts are most welcome. The good news is, we can all get those boosts. Join me as we continue to explore the fullness that genuine gratitude adds to our lives and much more. And also see how we can set ourselves up to be grateful in the future for the choices we make today.
