In this conversation, we delve into the spiritual teachings of Michael Singer, whose booksThe Untethered Soul and The Surrender Experiment have greatly enhanced both of our lives. Yet it's his cheerfully free lectures on Youtube that we come back to daily. His lessons focus on enjoying the journey of life rather than fixating on outcomes; fostering a profound sense of gratitude for life on earth; and surrendering to the flow of nature, rather than fighting it. Perhaps most helpful is the recognition that external achievements will not fix what's happening inside of us, and that's okay.We had a lot to explore on this expansive episode, and we hope it brings a little more peace, understanding, and beauty into your world. Show notes: Michael Singer's lectures: https://www.youtube.com/@SeatsofContemplationFor more Dare to Dream content find us on: Apple Podcasts:⁠ ⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-dare-to-dream-podcast/id1522983890⁠⁠ Spotify:⁠ ⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/599zlweDDcmXP5YhOX6TFw⁠⁠ YouTube:⁠ ⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoimyPFCjO_qrJhH4ALafcA⁠⁠ Instagram:⁠ ⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/thedaretodreampodcast/⁠⁠Vincent's Book, When the Sky Opens and the Answers Shimmer: https://www.amazon.com/When-Sky-Opens-Answers-Shimmer/dp/B0DSQ7MYRZ?ref_=ast_author_dp Join Vincent's Newsletter - Vinny's Field Notes:⁠ https://vincentvanpatten.substack.com/⁠Join Gregory's Newsletter - Live a Story Worth Telling:⁠ ⁠⁠https://liveastoryworthtelling.gregoryrussellbenedikt.com/laswt⁠ If you're feeling empty despite your “success”, book a discovery call with Gregory:⁠ https://calendly.com/gregoryrussellbenedikt-1/discovery-call⁠

In this short field note, Kristin reflects on a quiet, sacred truth about mental health and neighborhood life—the silent agreements we make with those around us when things could so easily fall apart. From pajama-clad goat wrangling to navigating differences with respect, this episode explores the kind of emotional maturity that doesn't get praised but deeply matters. It's not about being the same. It's about choosing peace—over and over again—in ways that often go unseen. For those who've had to protect their own nervous system just to make it through the day, this one's for you.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/mental-health-news-radio--3082057/support.

Time of recording: 1:03 PM on Friday, May 23, 2025. And while that might not mean anything to you, it marks a huge transition in my world: my four kids are officially out of school for the summer. For the next three months, my home will be full of extra bodies, extra snacks, and a whole lot less quiet. In this episode, I'm sharing what it looks like (and feels like) to move into summer as an ambitious woman, a business owner, and a mom. I talk about the mindset shifts I've had to make, the lessons I've learned from past summers, and the real-life logistics that help me stay grounded when life gets chaotic. This isn't a step-by-step guide—it's a conversation between you and me. If you're staring down the summer calendar wondering how the heck you're going to do it all, this episode is here to remind you: you're not alone, and you don't have to do it perfectly. What You'll Hear in This Episode: Why my original “just work in the mornings” plan was hilariously unrealistic (yes, sarcasm included) The hard truth: our kids need more structure than we think—and so do we How I've learned to adjust my expectations instead of just pushing through Why this might be a better season for planning than producing What it looks like to make space for rest and fun (even when it's not my natural instinct) The importance of routines, especially for little ones who thrive on consistency Why reduced productivity isn't a failure—it's just a shift If you're a high-achieving woman navigating summer with a full house and a full calendar, I hope this gives you permission to breathe, pivot, and let some things go. And if nothing else, know this: you're doing great. Really.

In this Field Notes (shorts) episode, host Ryan Jordan challenges a widely held ultralight backpacking belief: that camp chairs are a luxury. Drawing on personal experience, recovery science, and biomechanical insights, Ryan explores how sitting well in the backcountry isn't just about comfort - it's about physiological and cognitive recovery. You'll learn why your posture at rest impacts your blood flow, muscle recovery, decision-making, and nervous system tone - and how a simple camp chair might be one of the most overlooked performance tools in your pack. We'll also unpack the baggage around the word luxury, and reframe gear decisions through the lens of function, not dogma. If you've ever questioned whether a chair belongs in your kit, or if you're curious how small decisions impact long-term performance in the backcountry, this episode offers a fresh, data-informed perspective. Takeaway: Recovery isn't passive. It's a skill - and how you sit at camp might matter more than you think. To view the shownotes for this episode of the Backpacking Light Podcast, click here.

What you believe shapes how you live. In a world full of conflicting messages and cultural confusion, Jason kicks off our new series in the book of Titus by showing why sound doctrine is more than just head knowledge—it's a roadmap for real life. Through Paul's opening words to Titus, we'll explore how right belief leads to godly living, how eternal hope anchors us in the everyday hustle, and why the truth of the Gospel is worth building your life on.

In this episode of Friday Field Notes, Ryan Michler explores the powerful concept inspired by Gladiator and Marcus Aurelius: “What we do echoes in eternity.” Michler emphasizes the importance of adopting a long-term perspective in life to avoid emotional impulsivity, short-term gains, and scarcity mindsets.  He shares three key mindsets for maintaining focus on lasting goals and three practical strategies—pausing before acting, applying the “five-five-five rule,” and prioritizing long-term results—to achieve meaningful outcomes. Michler's insights inspire listeners to make decisions that resonate beyond the present, fostering a legacy of impact and growth.

Vinny here. I'm gearing up to write my first fiction novel, based on my experience living in Japan. It's daunting to write fiction when there's already so much good stuff out there. So why do it?Because if you're a dreamer, there's no alternative. The point of writing a book isn't to be better than other books; I'm not trying to be the next Hemingway, or Kerouac, or Murakami.The point to me is honestly not even to make money, although that's an intended byproduct of writing something real and unique.I'm writing these books — even fiction — to figure out who the hell I am and what I'm capable of. Taking on a worthy challenge is what human beings are built for. It's what we crave, and it's what many of us are missing.To continually grapple with a creative challenge is a life well lived.For more Dare to Dream content find us on: Apple Podcasts:⁠ ⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-dare-to-dream-podcast/id1522983890⁠⁠ Spotify:⁠ ⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/599zlweDDcmXP5YhOX6TFw⁠⁠YouTube:⁠ ⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoimyPFCjO_qrJhH4ALafcA⁠⁠ Instagram:⁠ ⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/thedaretodreampodcast/⁠⁠Vincent's Book, When the Sky Opens and the Answers Shimmer: https://www.amazon.com/When-Sky-Opens-Answers-Shimmer/dp/B0DSQ7MYRZ?ref_=ast_author_dp Join Vincent's Newsletter - Vinny's Field Notes:⁠ https://vincentvanpatten.substack.com/⁠Join Gregory's Newsletter - Live a Story Worth Telling:⁠ ⁠⁠https://liveastoryworthtelling.gregoryrussellbenedikt.com/laswt⁠ If you're feeling empty despite your “success”, book a discovery call with Gregory:⁠ https://calendly.com/gregoryrussellbenedikt-1/discovery-call⁠
