Episode 30 - The ONE Thing That Grants True Freedom 27:45

19d ago27:45

27:45

Just about anyone who talks about mindfulness will inevitably talk about learning to hold ourselves. I, personally, have been talking about and teaching this for the last 10 years. But in recent years, the power and true meaning of this practice and concept has transformed into something deep and unexpected. In this episode, journey with me through…

Episode 29 - The Mind Is Not Your Enemy 24:04

7M ago24:04

24:04

Welcome to 2024!On this episode we explore the "aha" moment of not making our minds our enemies. From how we're raised to view and judge ourselves naturally to even the language we sometimes hear on our spiritual paths, making the mind the enemy: putting it in its place or "controlling" it sometimes seems the ultimate goal. So today we work through…

Episode 27 - Human Doing or Human BEING? 22:40

1+ y ago22:40

22:40

We live our lives in a perpetual state of "doing." Every day is comprised of moving from one task to another: one thing to accomplish after the other. While this is necessary to live and survive, this episode explores untethering our worthiness from our productivity, success, and all our doings. Where can happiness and satisfaction come from if the…

Episode 26 - How Do You Want It To Feel 21:04

1+ y ago21:04

21:04

Often we devote so much energy, conscious and unconscious, to anticipating the outcomes of experience. How is something going to go? What do we want the outcome to be? What outcomes are we afraid of? We become anxious with the reality that the outcome, no matter how much we prepare, is unknown until we find ourselves alive in it as it unfolds. This…

Episode 25 - A New Protection 21:59

2y ago21:59

21:59

We are unconsciously conditioned throughout our lives to protect ourselves. Of course we are! Being in pain...well...HURTS. This episode explores, however, the possibility that the ways we have unconsciously learned to protect (things that served us in the past) may actually be creating more harm and pain than protection. We look at a new possibili…

Episode 24- You Are Already Whole 24:11

2y ago24:11

24:11

We often have experiences in our lives that "bring us back to ourselves" or some in way grant us a feeling that we had "lost" part of ourselves. For those of us on the spiritual or self-help paths, we tend to lean into feelings of needing to be better, to grow, or to constantly be moving toward some healthier version of ourselves. This episode expl…

Episode 23- What Are We Searching For? 21:50

2y ago21:50

21:50

Most of us move through our lives with a sense of seeking. Whether it's happiness, success, satisfaction, love - it seems in all our seeking, throughout our whole journey we just have never quite found "it".This episode explores the possibility that we already ARE that which we seek. That all our seeking outside is perhaps just a confused quest bec…

Episode 22 - Control is Killing Us 22:02

2y ago22:02

22:02

Life is NOT under our control. Our emotions are not under our control. Often even our minds are not under our control. Yet we have given our minds the impossible task of controlling everything in lives in order to avoid hurt and pain. This episode explores the possibility that it's actually our need for control that hurts us more than anything else…

Episode 21 - Pain as a Portal to True Freedom 24:31

2y ago24:31

24:31

What is TRUE freedom? Is it having everything we want and nothing that we don't? No, then we're either dead or an awakened being. So how do we find it while still alive and fully human? This episode explores a depth of being WITH ourselves and our experiences that is REAL and accessible to us all. It is a radical awakening to the truth of ourselves…

Episode 20 - Suffering Connects Us ALL 18:59

2y ago18:59

18:59

We live in a society that tells us we are worthy, we have made it, we are successful when we experience less and less suffering, hurting, moments of pain. Though this is a quiet undercurrent, social media and what see all around us paint a picture that to suffer means we are in some way bad or failing. This episode is all about breaking that concep…

Episode 19 - The Meaning in Life 24:38

2+ y ago24:38

24:38

It seems only human to wonder, "What gives life meaning?" Though we tend to consider this question on the larger scale, something more like "How do we lead a meaningful life?" It often does not occur to us to wonder what creates meaningful moments, the meaning we experience in people, places, and objects in our world. This episode explores just tha…

In this episode we explore the difference between experiences that are uncomfortable and those that deeply cause us pain.

18:38

Happiness Hacks is a new series inside the Wake the F*ck Up offerings.

Episode 14 - The Simple Life (title feel boring? this episode is for YOU) 21:33

3y ago21:33

21:33

We live in a time where life is anything but simple. Every day seems to be chalk full of work hours, life management tasks (like food prep, dishes, laundry, grocery shopping), and all the added tasks that come from owning more (car registrations, oil changes, mowing the lawn, weeding the garden.) You get the idea. Yet it's been encultured into us t…

Episode 13 - Self-Compassion: Break the CHAINS of Criticism 16:21

3+ y ago16:21

16:21

Self-compassion is a topic I often get confused looks and head-shakes to. It is not something most of us have been taught and is often confused with narcissism and some form of laziness or not being accountable. The crazy thing is that all the research on self-compassion shows the same outcomes: better overall wellbeing, higher resilience, greater …

Episode 12 - Perfect is NOT the Goal 20:59

3+ y ago20:59

20:59

At the beginning of any journey, it's so important to clarify our intentions and goals, yet sometimes even with the best intentions we miss the actual purpose of our endeavor. In this episode I share my own confusion around the goal of a meditation and mindfulness practice: what are we really aiming/hoping for? Who are we really trying to be? And h…

Episode 11 - What Are You Waiting For?! 17:08

3+ y ago17:08

17:08

This episode is one I might call an extension of Episode 10 - Experience vs. Reward, reframed under something we all experience all the time: WAITING. If you are really willing to take a look, you'll likely find that you live in a near permanent state of waiting. But what is it you're really waiting for? And what is it that waiting actually says to…

Episode 10 - Experience vs. Reward 19:16

3+ y ago19:16

19:16

This episode of The Wake The F*ck Up Podcast was inspired by Mark Nepo's book "The Book of Awakening" and the experiences that flowed from the recognition of how often the joy of what we do is obscured by the desire to get something out of it...some reward, some accolade without which we deem the action or experience unworthy of our time and attent…

Episode 9 - Meditation: The UNdo-ing 19:27

3+ y ago19:27

19:27

I imagine that just like me, you've frequently found yourself saying "I'm way to busy to have any extra shit to do." For so many of us, meditation becomes one of those things we just don't have time for. In this episode we explore how and why meditation is more of an UNdoing than a doing at all. Discover how meditation and mindfulness can strip you…

22:00

What is reality? What is the matrix? What's the difference? This episode explores the true nature of what we call reality and the difference between subject, object, dualism, and oneness.

Episode 7 - Selfhood, Non-self, and Who the Hell Am I? 23:25

3+ y ago23:25

23:25

We spend most of our lives living in the movie reel/story of our lives. This beautiful human brain does an excellent job of creating a linear, chronological continuous story of who we are based on snapshots of past experiences. We tend to experience ourselves as a solid idea of "me" and "I," yet this confused and not-actually real vision of ourselv…

Episode 6 - What IS Mindfulness? 19:15

3+ y ago19:15

19:15

We couldn't really say this is a mindfulness podcast without talking about the proverbial elephant in the room, right? This episode offers just that: what actually IS mindfulness? The word itself carries a particular connotation; it's been growing as a concept in our society, and yet actually understanding, connecting to what mindfulness is can som…

Episode 5 - What Would Life Feel Like If Nothing Was a Problem? 17:31

3+ y ago17:31

17:31

What makes us suffer? What catapults us from a perfectly fine moment of contentment or happiness or satisfaction into sadness, anger, frustration...suffering? This episode explores just that, the moments of friction between how life is and how we want it to be and invites the curiosity: "what would this moment feel like if I didn't see it as a prob…

Desire: the root of all suffering or a potent, delightful experience of our humanity?
