    Risk. Survival. Adaptation. Beauty. What does life in a war zone have to teach us, and how can we tangibly help those affected? These are questions Lauren and her sister Marie explored on a humanitarian trip to Romania in April. On this episode, they recount the stories of refugees they met at the border and explore how proximity to the pain of the world gives us the urgency to act.

  • Meaning Making and Our Stories of Loss: A Conversation with a Grief Counselor.

    Meaning Making and Our Stories of Loss: A Conversation with a Grief Counselor.
    2022/04/01
    Many of us go from the stability of "living the life we have always wanted" to experiencing a seismic event like death that splits our realities into a distinct before and after. In our conversation with licensed professional counselor Sarah Zollner Case, we explore how to honor our grief. Through the inconsolable ache left by loss, we learn how grief fortifies us with deeper experiences of awe and wonder for the life we live now. This episode teaches us through Sarah's own story of loss how to be more resilient, empathetic, and attuned to the meaning that is made in the presence of our experiences of suffering.

  • Asking for directions: Is it possible to find meaning without knowing your vocation?

    Asking for directions: Is it possible to find meaning without knowing your vocation?
    2022/03/11
    Lauren and Rachel go deeper into this quest for meaning in life and career pursuits led by thoughts from the mystic Parker Palmer and David Brooks' "The Second Mountain." What is a vocation? Is it a calling we are born with or stumble upon through trial-and-error? Who gets to define it and how does it shape our response to challenges and setbacks?

  • Welcome to "Mystical Thinking" with Rachel and Lauren

    Welcome to "Mystical Thinking" with Rachel and Lauren
    2022/02/25
    Facing, feeling, and noticing. Those are all themes the mystics bring to our awareness. They affect our ability to listen, to engage in mystery, and to sink into a sense of belovedness as we also recognize there is space for the other. These themes present a continual invitation to look within at a time where society seems to be fracturing externally on every level. In the trailer to our first season, Rachel and Lauren cover their collective expressions of evangelical Christianity, and how as time has gone by, they've learned to value opening their lives to questions and paradox rather than quick-fix answers.
