This episode from an MTL Video on YouTube... here's the link https://youtu.be/uzB2UtIUCm0
It's almost my birthday... AGAIN! Years just keep going by, and I still haven't arrived or made it or whatever. Do you ever feel behind or failing like that? Well, you're in GOOD company!!! Just remember, it means you're human... a human BEING!!! And maybe, just maybe, we are never supposed to "arrive" in that sense. So cheers to another year of learning and growing and transformation!
In this MTL Meet Up, we talk about the practice of compassionate self-talk... that it matters and that we can always BEGIN again!
We recorded our recent Google Meet all about the upcoming year. I hope that we can all learn to live and love MORE and tap into the Divine heartbeat within us all!
In this episode, We talk about the need to choose PEACE... to invite and welcome PEACE despite our context or situation. PEACE be with you!!!
In this episode, we talk about loneliNESS. Chances are good you've felt and experienced it as have those close to you. So let's talk about that and find some common ground with one another. First we become aware... next we act!
In this episode, we talk about our need to connect and egg and truly get CLOSEr! No election or differences of opinion should prevent us from being CLOSEr. So do it... get CLOSEr! It doesn't take physical proximity... it takes courage and heart and the intentionality to be in relationship!!!
We have a renewable resource within us that can literally heal ourselves and the entire world... LOVE. Let's tap into that some MORE. First for ourselves by creating boundaries. Then we can give LOVE to those around us. And let's just see how powerful it truly is!
What we need MORE of is some human connection, and that takes effort to learn. Let's NOT give up on one another... it's time to SHOW UP for one another and to truly connect. Let's learn to be human beings again!
Let's talk about how LEANing is a tremendous strength that we all possess... something we should learn to do MORE often!
In this episode, which is also LIVE on FaceBook, we talk about an idea that is not new or earth shattering... yet seriously important. Joy is something to discover all around us, ALL THE TIME! Joy is not something we arrive at or an end result, but a constant that we choose all along the way... even during the hard stuff of life!
In this episode, which is also LIVE on FaceBook, we talk about the Divine version of our stories. There are so many versions of our stories out there that distract and even sabotage us. The good news is that we get to choose which version we believe and embrace. So be on the lookout for the Divine version of your story... that's the really good stuff!!!
During this episode from FB LIVE, I riff on our need to REALLY COMMUNICATE with one another. I hope we can learn to see and know one another MORE and MORE fully!
Let's talk about what's next. Let's look forward while choosing to remember what we have learned and felt and experienced. Let's CHOOSE to NOT forget! We have been set free from so much and set free to so much else. So now we remember... and we step forward into the next chapter... we step into the MORE of this gift of life. : )
In this episode, Live from FaceBook, I share stories and talk about the one thing I keep coming back to over and over again... LOVE.
In this LIVE episode from FaceBook, I talk through how to use music during the quarantine, and more importantly, how music MOVE us. Stay strong and keep going everyone!!!
In this episode LIVE on FB, we explore the discomfort we are all feeling and the importance of naming it and allowing it to move through us so we can KEEP GOING. We must strive for BALANCE in our lives, and right now, even in the midst of so much loss and grief, there is cause for celebration. And for many, with Easter just around the corner, could it be possible to shift our perspective and see a dort of death to life pattern... a possible new beginning for us through this experience? If so, Happy Birthday to all of us!!! : )
In this LIVE FB Episode, we explore how this "PAUSE" might allow us to truly reflect and Adventure Inward. When things slow down, there is a space created to re-examine and re-consider all sorts of things.. self-care, relationships, engagement with our human family, how we treat the earth, and some of our biggest and deepest questions. So embrace the PAUSE and Adventure Inward... and who knows where this might take all of us. I pray and hope somewhere better!
Since all MTL Gatherings have been canceled, we wanted to go LIVE on FB!!! This is our first little experiment, and I simply wanted to set the tone for this time and space to be something encouraging and to hopefully make us all feel a little less heavy. We are in this together, and we hope to have you tune in weekly to the actual LIVE Event on FB at the MTL FB Page or here on this Podcast. Health and peace and grace!
In this episode, we talk about KINDness in our lives... a forgotten practice we desperately need to re-discover. Let's make america KIND again!!!!
In this episode, I tag team it with Sarah Lorch. She's a dear friend who had some good words about vulnerability. In the end, had some some words too. Enjoy!!!
In this episode, we ask whether or not we are living stories that are authentic to who we truly are or whether we are just on auto-pilot doing whatever next "right thing" is in front of us. Tired of the hustle? Maybe that isn't you... maybe it isn't any of us. : ) Live true to yourself!
Fear is not who we are... though that doesn't mean we don't face the giant from time to time. May you embrace you true identity and may fear lose its hold on you.
Timing is a special gift that we can learn to uncover in our lives and experiences. My hope is that you slow down and enjoy the present moment this Holiday Season. Wholeness and Joy are yours, right now, present always... and may you be blessed with little gifts of timing to allow you to see and grow into who it is you truly are!!!
I wish I could muster up MORE trust sometimes, but I'm learning that God doesn't seem to mind so much. I love that!!!
So much coughing, sneezing and more! Here's a little storytime about this infectious season that is upon us. May you all be infected with JOY!
In this episode, we discuss the importance of ACTIVE COMPASSION in our lives especially as the Holiday Season approaches. We all possess the power and allowing it to flow from the heart of our being brings us life and healing and joy.
In this episode, we talk a little bit MORE about leisure and some rhythms to consider as we embrace the truth that we are not machines and that we must learn the art of zero-tasking.
In this episode, we talk about leaving the hustle behind because the evidence is in and it clearly isn't our friend. Instead, we should explore the idea of leisure and experience rest and new life. If you want a list of a leisure experimentation, check back soon for a link. : )
In this episode we talk about the stuff of life that truly matters and challenge ourselves to flip the script and live our lives PRE-OCCUPIED by that GOOD stuff instead of everything else that distracts us.
In this episode, we explore how we are hard-wired for human interaction and connection. There is no equivalent for community so we much be intentional to chase after the real thing and not settle for substitutes that fall short.
In this episode we explore the idea of Furness a but further... the posture of being FOR one another can look us tapping into the reality of being HUMAN and also being our true, authentic selves. And just maybe when we practice that, we invite others to do the same.
In this special episode, I introduce the Living Classroom series... a space to continue learning what it means to be human. Part One is all about faith and spirituality, and I speak from my own experience telling stories about how I arrived at being a spiritual alchemist.
In this episode, we learn that we are still learning, still becoming and STILL students. Where in your life is there space to keep learning the endearing and enduring aspects of what it means to be human?
In this episode we take a look at FOMO... it's root, how it impacts us, and maybe some remedies. Wouldn't it be great to take FOMO and turn it into JOMO- the Joy Of Missing Out!!!
In this episode, we celebrate Earth Day and talk through the dangerous reality of single-use plastic. Perhaps it's time we truly appreciate the gift of our awesome planet and use our ridiculously creative brains to chart a new path forward without single-use plastic. Yay Earth!!!
In this episode we talk about a creating a different world... so many times we simply accept "the way thew world works" as if we can do nothing about it. But it is us who determines how the world works. So how do we want it to work? And can we create something MORE... something better!
In this episode we talk about how it is we all learn... the inevitable bumps, bruises, scrapes and scars of life. In the end, all of it, brings us to a place where we truly become something MORE.

MTL 035 - In this episode we explore the inevitable shift of life... how life carries a necessary weight to it that can get out of balance if we aren't consistent to check in with ourselves and be honest.
