Episode 3025:

Phil Cheney reflects on a painful experience of being underpaid after completing a renovation job and explains why one person’s dishonesty doesn’t have to destroy your faith in others. Through injury, disappointment, and self-reflection, he shares how trust is ultimately a personal choice rooted in self-awareness, boundaries, and resilience rather than the behavior of others.

Quotes to ponder:

“You may be deceived if you trust too much, but you will live in torment if you don’t trust enough.”

“Don’t assume you can’t trust anyone because one person was untrustworthy. You can’t control what everyone else does, and some people may deceive you, but you can control what you do, who you choose to trust, and what you learn from each experience.”

“You see, my behavior in assessing how much to trust is within my control, while how the other person behaves is outside my control.”

Episode 3017:

Lisa Firestone explores how mindfulness can transform romantic relationships by helping couples respond with awareness instead of reacting from unresolved emotional triggers.

"When it comes to leftover emotional pain from our earliest relationships, no one will trigger us like our romantic partner."

"Mindfulness isn’t about denying or burying our emotions. It’s simply about cultivating a different relationship to our feelings and experiences, in which we are in the driver’s seat."

“What mindfulness does is it creates this space; it takes us out of the catastrophe. And as a couple working together in a mindfulness way, there’s a lot more heart available. There’s a lot more understanding possible than this need to defend.”
