EP173: Choice and Regret Nov 08, 2021

Show notes

What if the concepts we call ‘choice’ and ‘regret’ have nothing to do with what actually happens in life? What if life lives us, and thought arises talking about intention, control, and a “you” who has intention and control…and that’s what’s happening when we say we made a choice?Likewise, what if regret is simply a

EP171: Deeply Exploring the Nature of Thought Oct 25, 2021

Show notes

In this episode, I share a practice I’ve been playing with. It’s a deep investigation into the actual experience of thought. It’s me asking “what is this thought thing, really?”It’s me walking right up to a thought and looking at it. Feeling it. Moving closer. Are there images, sounds, or other sensory reflections I find? Are

EP170: A Conversation About Our Apparent Shift From Psychology to Spirituality Oct 18, 2021

Show notes

In this episode, my friend and coach colleague Piers Thurston and I discuss what it’s been like for our coaching to move from a focus on psychology to a focus on something closer to spirituality or nonduality. We talk about how life looks far simpler than it used to, and why, even given that, we

EP169: I Can’t Handle It! Oct 11, 2021

Show notes

Minds love dramatic, sensational statements. And if you don’t know better, you might be very tempted to take them seriously. They’ll say things like: “I can’t handle this”.“I don’t know how I’ll make it through.”“I’m lost. I don’t know what to do next.”“I’m barely keeping my head above water.”.But here’s the thing: Your mind saying these

EP168: Siobhan’s Change Story: When Change Doesn’t Look How You Imagined Oct 04, 2021

Show notes

Siobhan came to the new paradigm a couple different times in the past few years. The first was to find freedom around some habits. She talks about going through The Little School of Big Change a few years ago, solidly focused on her behavior (which is NOT how I recommend doing it!). Even while tracking

EP167: Minds Dramatize Sep 27, 2021

Show notes

The narrator exaggerates. It can be so dramatic. You’re not just feeling a little grumble in your stomach, you’re about to die of hunger. You’re not just coming up on a busy week, you don’t know how you’ll handle it all–it’s going to be horrible!These are examples of how a mind loves to add color commentary.

EP166: Minds Think You’re Never Good Enough Sep 20, 2021

Show notes

Your mind will never say “Okay, you can rest now. You’re perfectly good enough right now. There is nothing more to add or improve upon.” That’s just NOT what minds do. Brains have evolved to look for ways to keep us safe and alive. In the absence of many actual threats to safety, the story has

EP165: Minds Problem Solve Sep 13, 2021

Show notes

Minds are always looking for problems to solve. This works out well for them given that they are also always creating problems. They create the problem and the solution.Can you sense how seeing this is incredibly valuable?If you believe that your mind’s problem solving activities are necessary–that minds are solving actual problems that require actual

EP164: Minds Compare Sep 06, 2021

Show notes

Your brain is a big ole’ know-it-all. Its job is to keep you alive, and the more it knows, the more assumed certainty it has, the better it can do that job. It’s a know-it-all because it loves you and it wants to do well by you. One of the ways minds scramble for assumed certainty
