Living Centered Podcast

Growing pains—we all experience them, and we often become most familiar with them in the context of our most intimate relationships. Life’s greatest joys often lie on the other side of the choice to continue to show up in those relationships, no matter the circumstances. Today on Living Centered, Lindsey and Nicole sit down with couple Zach and Stacy Williams to dig into this theme of resilience—something they have each exhibited in their respective stories but also a quality that serves as a hallmark of their 20 year relationship. Together, they tell their story of choosing to create a life together and candidly share about the many ups and downs that have checkered the tapestry of their shared history. In this inspiring conversation, Zach and Stacy discuss the power of creativity to carry us through pain, the capacity of community to sharpen and propel us forward into new seasons, and the challenge and gift of living creative lives together.

Do you feel like a victim of your circumstances? Overwhelmed by things you can’t control and feelings of helplessness? You’re not alone. Today Mickenzie and Hannah sit down with therapist and Onsite Guide, Veronica Scruggs to explore the idea of reclaiming agency when our lives feel overwhelming, stuck, or out of control. Together they discuss the concept of moving from a victim to a volunteer and showing up wholeheartedly in our lives.   

Friendship is a dynamic force that holds the capacity to mend some of the broken pieces of our stories. Today on the podcast, Hannah and Nicole sit down with writer, speaker, and mental health advocate, Chinae Alexander, to dig into the beauty and power of ‘chosen family’. As a content creator, Chinae shares a lot of her life with her online community, and together we discuss the nuances of this digital space in tandem with the nature of the community she has built with the deep personal friendships she has cultivated over the course of many years. We talk about the practice of presence, the concept of curiosity as a pathway to meaningful relationships, and how every moment shared together—from birth and death to our watershed moments and the simple, everyday mundane ones—carries the potential to move us from friendship to family.

This week on the podcast, Hannah and Nicole sit down with certified life planner and relationship expert, Chanel Dokun, to dig into what it means to truly live the “good life.” So often we pursue this ideal by striving after external markers of success (building enviable careers and crafting the picture-perfect life to name a few) in an attempt to satisfy our longing to live a better story than the one we are writing. Through sharing her personal story with us, Chanel delightfully maps out the journey from stress and disappointment to joy and contentment as she has learned to walk into her unique power and purpose. In addition to her empirical experience, Chanel draws upon the wisdom gleaned from her coaching work and therapy training to frame the process of creating the life you’ve been waiting for. You won’t want to miss this inspiring conversation!

Shame—we are all familiar with it. It can often take up residence in us, staking its claim and attempting to divert our attention and steal our power. Unfortunately, this often leads to great suffering. But what would it look like to notice our shame before it robs us of our joy? What if we tended to it? What if we gave it care and attention and allowed it to become our teacher? This week, Hannah and Nicole are delighted to sit down with Onsite Guide and therapist, Caroline Bravo, to unpack the intersection of shame and spirituality. In this conversation, Caroline speaks from a place of deep wisdom and shares practical tools to help us generate self-compassion and fortify the spiritual self on the path to healing.
