#43 How to Make Good Habits Easy (:micro) Jul 22, 2022

Show notes

James Clear laid it out nicely for all of us: we're motivated to be lazy and we might as well embrace it. You don't get brownie points for struggling, the real reward is having enough energy left over to enjoy all the progress you're making.

#41 Food and Flesh of the Gods (:micro) Jul 18, 2022

Show notes

Cacao and mushrooms are in the kind of committed relationship we all long for. They support and bring out the best in each other while still kicking ass on their own. There's a good reason why they've worked together so long and you probably want to get in on the action.

#40 Healing Sounds for the Heart (:rest) Jul 16, 2022

Show notes

Mantak Chia's "five elements healing sounds" is a Taoist practice that uses sounds to purge stagnant energy and colors to tonify energy.

Today we'll focus on the heart, using the sound "haaa" to purge impatience and hastiness and the color red to cultivate compassion and joy.

Show notes

Would you pass the Marshmallow Test? You know, the one where you can gobble up your reward immediately or wait and double your pleasure. Whether it's easy for you to delay gratification or impossible to not fixate may depend in part on whether you have OCD, OCPD, or just a highly ritualized routine.

#37 Rituals For Resilience (:micro) Jul 11, 2022

Show notes

Resilience is the ability to be both strong and flexible, but if you've ever lifted weights or dabbled with yoga, you know gains don't happen overnight. Resiliency is a practice. In this episode, I share some rituals you can add to your daily routine that can help you bounce back after life knocks you down. What could be possible if you connected with nature before going to work, or checked in with your spirit before checking your texts?

Krishnamurti once wrote, "It's no measure of health to be well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society." Trends w/ Benefits is an exploration into what it means to be "mentally healthy" in a world that is anything but.

The Trends w/ Benefits Podcast has two formats—:microdose and :macrodose episodes.

:microdose episodes are short-form monologues with Sara Russell. Sara blends ancient wisdom, modern science and actionable advice on subjects like sleep, psychedelics and ritual. She also hosts short meditations designed to help you start and end your day. We call them :rise and :rest meditations.

:macrodose episodes are long-form interviews with Tw/B's Head of Editorial, Kyle Thiermann. Comprising deep conversations with athletes, intellectuals and everyone in between, each episode is anchored around mental health.

Show notes

This episode is with East Forest, (@Eastforest) a musician who uses sound to guide audiences through psychedelic states of consciousness. Kyle attended one of East Forest's concerts, then sat down with him for this interview at his hotel the following day.

#35 What is Taoism? (:micro) Jul 08, 2022

Show notes

"The tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao."

And yet, we attempt to have a conversation about that most nameless of mysteries, Taoism. In this episode, we take a break from duality and step into doing-without-doing, as we explore the ancient Chinese philosophy.
