Is a past failure holding you back from being resilient? Kelly offers two valuable ways of viewing failure.

How Do I Bounce Back From Failure?

Our story tonight is called “Sleeping Weather” and it’s a story about a break from the heat and humidity. It’s also about the view from the porch swing at night, deer walking quietly through the corn fields, and clearing your mind with paper and pen and the end of the day.

Sleeping Weather

Dan shares how he ‘tamed the voice in his head’ and how you can too. 

From Skeptic to Meditator 

In this episode, we explore an Eckhart Tolle quote: "What a liberation to realize that the “voice in my head” is not who I am. Who am I then? The one who sees that." I share my thoughts about this quote--why I agree with it and what I would change.

Who Are You...Really?

In this interview, Rich shares practical and powerful tips to be less stressed and more mindful and happy at work. 

How to Bring Mindfulness Into Your Work 

Radical Self-Honesty: The Joy of Getting Real - Our suffering arises from the unseen, unfelt, resisted parts of our psyche. This talk explores ways we can deepen self-honesty and reconnect to a wholeness of being that enables us to live with spontaneity, confidence, wisdom and love (a favorite from the archives).

A quote by Elizabeth Lessor from the talk: “My prayer to god every day: Remove the veils so I might see what is really happening here and not be intoxicated by my stories and my fears.”

Radical Self-Honesty: The Joy of Getting Real

In this talk and meditation, we'll explore a simple strategy to become a more mindful listener.
