Just Sit With It
Living with intention, particularly amidst the noise of adult life, can feel elusive at best. Without even noticing, we get swept up in the noise as we try to just put one foot in front of the other and check off the next task.
I don't want to live like that.
I want to mine the full depths of my and our adventure in this world.
Whether it’s in a book, song, poem, podcast, or coming out of somebody’s mouth - I often hear or read some wise words that shake something awake inside of me. The words might be affirming, challenging, the perfect capture of a hard to describe idea, or a swift kick in the pants. When I take the time to just sit with it…to pause and think deeply about the words and about my relationship to those words…that’s when I’m able to find the meaning that helps me think and act differently. So in this podcast, I’ll bring that experience to you - wise words that a range of people from all walks of life have shared about living a more intentional, deeply experienced life. And we will have some dialogue with others around what those words might mean. It will be a structured space where we can slow down and maybe even get disrupted in ways you and I were needing.
