Emotional pain, of all kinds and magnitudes, is part of life. We'll never be able to find ourselves free of it; no meditation or amount of therapy will cure us of the harder parts of being alive. Celebrated author and therapist, Lisa Olivera has confronted this reality for years, weaving her exploration of it throughout her popular SubStack, Human Stuff. She reminds us that the practice of turning toward the ache with care—reverence, even—might be one of the most meaningful gifts we can give ourselves. It might even save us.Through her work, Lisa offers questions and practices that invite us into this possibility.Questions such as:How do we confront and tend to the painful parts of being human without letting that pain entirely overtake us? How do we find joy even when depression visits, even when we lose someone we love, even when the hurt of the world is ever-present? How do we cultivate aliveness in the midst? Today we'll engage with these questions alongside themes from her gorgeous new book:When the Ache Remains: Lessons on Tending to the Unfixable and Finding Beauty Anyway, All of which point to how what Lisa calls; the ache of being alive, shapes our lives, how we can alchemize pain into medicine, how presence is accessible, and how it's possible to find beauty and joy even in the midst of some of our most harrowing experiences.For more on Lisa, her books, substack, events and other offerings, please visit lisaolivera.comEnjoying the show?

What happens when you stop trying to force "meaning" onto art and just allow yourself to experience it?In this candid, thought-provoking conversation, poet, philosopher, photographer, and author Steven Seidenberg joins Carmen in The Private Lounge.

What should we do with singleness? Receive it with thanksgiving as God's gift or grieve it as a source of real sorrow? Maybe the answer is both.

In this episode, our group explores how Saturn Devouring His Son by Francisco Goya, a disturbing yet highly praised masterpiece challenges conventional perceptions of beauty. Through the myth of Saturn and Goya's terrifying artistic expression, we examine how fear, horror, and war can communicate deeper truths about the hardships of Goya. This episode investigates whether beauty can exist within the grotesque and the ugly. It also asks an important question: Can something terrifying still be considered beautiful?
How often do we avoid places, people, or memories because they remind us of where we were wounded? Yet God has a remarkable way of redeeming what once caused that pain. In today's episode, we discover how God doesn't always erase the scars, but He gives them a new purpose- finding beauty in broken places.

In a world so fraught with chaos and uncertainty, where can we find connection and hope? Author Terry Tempest Williams invites readers to learn about what she calls "The Glorians." In her latest work, The Glorians: Visitations from the Holy Ordinary, Williams explains that Glorians are not distant deities, but instead ordinary, often overlooked presences — animals, plants, memories, moments — that reveal our shared vulnerability and interconnectedness with the natural world. The Glorians can be as small as an ant or as commonplace as the night sky. Williams offers both personal and societal insight in her assertion that Glorians have much to teach and remind us about consciousness, connection, and courage. In pages that explore subjects like climate change, finding wonder in the unexpected, and turning to deep reflection and intention, The Glorians invites us to imagine a better and more beautiful future in a time of uncertainty. Terry Tempest Williams is the award-winning author of seventeen books of creative nonfiction, including the environmental classic, Refuge – An Unnatural History of Family and Place. Among her other books are Leap, Finding Beauty in a Broken World, When Women Were Birds, The Hour of Land – A Personal Topography of America's National Parks, and Erosion – Essays of Undoing. Her work has been translated and anthologized worldwide. She is a member of the American Academy of Arts & Letters and is currently the writer-in-residence at the Harvard Divinity School. She divides her time between Cambridge, Massachusetts and Castle Valley, Utah. Buy the Book The Glorians: Visitations from the Holy Ordinary Elliott Bay Book Company
As a pediatrician and mom, I know firsthand how easy it is to get overwhelmed by standard parenting tips and the pressure to have a perfect family life . In a culture obsessed with quick fixes and curated social media fairy tales, so many couples feel like they are constantly falling short . On this channel, my goal is to share the beautiful, unglamorous reality of making relationships work . We cannot just hope for a happy marriage and connection to happen by chance…we have to be intentional about creating it. That is why I love bringing authentic guests onto the podcast to share real, unfiltered relationship advice. In this episode, I'm sitting down with Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson East and former NFL player Andrew East to talk about their brand new book, The Courage to Commit. Shawn and Andrew remind us that we don't have to succumb to public judgment or relationship anxiety . Real growth happens in our everyday routines, like setting core family values, prioritizing weekly date nights, and learning how to celebrate failure . By breaking down the illusion of perfection and working through messy parenting moments, we can move past the comparison trap and build a resilient, peaceful home. Why treating commitment as an intentional choice is the key to lasting peace in marriage. How choosing fewer things and narrowing your focus can completely eliminate FOMO and relationship anxiety . Easy, practical ways to establish family values and protect intentional habits like weekly date nights . Why elite athletes, pediatricians, and parents must embrace failure as a necessary stepping stone to success.

As a pediatrician and mom, I know firsthand how easy it is to get overwhelmed by standard parenting tips and the pressure to have a perfect family life . In a culture obsessed with quick fixes and curated social media fairy tales, so many couples feel like they are constantly falling short . On this channel, my goal is to share the beautiful, unglamorous reality of making relationships work . We cannot just hope for a happy marriage and connection to happen by chance…we have to be intentional about creating it. That is why I love bringing authentic guests onto the podcast to share real, unfiltered relationship advice. In this episode, I'm sitting down with Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson East and former NFL player Andrew East to talk about their brand new book, The Courage to Commit. Shawn and Andrew remind us that we don't have to succumb to public judgment or relationship anxiety . Real growth happens in our everyday routines, like setting core family values, prioritizing weekly date nights, and learning how to celebrate failure . By breaking down the illusion of perfection and working through messy parenting moments, we can move past the comparison trap and build a resilient, peaceful home. Why treating commitment as an intentional choice is the key to lasting peace in marriage. How choosing fewer things and narrowing your focus can completely eliminate FOMO and relationship anxiety . Easy, practical ways to establish family values and protect intentional habits like weekly date nights . Why elite athletes, pediatricians, and parents must embrace failure as a necessary stepping stone to success.

You're drawing, aren't you?" he spoke to her gently.Ja: 桜は少し緊張しながらもうなずきました。En: Sakura nodded, slightly nervous.Ja: 「もっと美しく描きたいけれど、自信がなくて」と彼女は静かに言いました。En: "I want to draw more beautifully, but I lack confidence," she said quietly.Ja: 武は微笑んで桜に近づきました。En: Takeshi smiled and approached her.Ja: 「絵の中の美しさは完璧を求めるところからじゃないよ。En: "The beauty in a drawing doesn't come from seeking perfection.Ja: この美しい場所も、自然と人が作り上げたものだ。En: This beautiful place too is something created by both nature and people.Ja: 完璧じゃなくていい。En: It doesn't need to be perfect.Ja: ありのままで素晴らしいんだ。」En: It's wonderful just as it is."Ja: その言葉は桜の心に響きました。En: Those words resonated in Sakura's heart.Ja: 「なるほど」と彼女は満面の笑みで答えました。En: "I see," she replied with a beaming smile.Ja: 彼女は不安を取り払うことができ、自分のスケッチを続けました。En: She was able to wipe away her anxiety and continued with her sketch.Ja: 桜は集中して絵を仕上げました。En: Sakura finished the drawing with concentration.Ja: 細部が完璧ではないけれど、そこには彼女の心が込められていました。En: Although the details were not perfect, it contained her heartfelt expression.Ja: 描き終わったとき、彼女は以前とは違う自分を感じました。En: When she finished, she felt like a different person than before.Ja: 武のおかげで、桜は自分の絵に自信を持てるようになりました。En: Thanks to Takeshi, Sakura was able to gain confidence in her drawing.Ja: 絵の完璧さではなく、自分の感じた美しさを大切にすることを学びました。En: She learned to cherish the beauty she felt, rather than the perfection of the artwork.Ja: その日、桜は初めて本当の美を見つけたように感じました。En: That day, Sakura felt as if she had discovered true beauty for the first time.Ja: 欠けた部分でさえ、絵の新しい魅力として受け入れることができました。En: She was able to embrace even the incomplete parts as a new charm of the drawing.Ja: 桜の心に、かつて感じたことのない満足感が広がりました。En: A sense of satisfaction she had never felt before spread in Sakura's heart.

Welcome to our special summer break episode where we dive into everything from amusement park plans to the deep theological roots of the Lord's Prayer. Join Mike, Tim, and Seth Erre as we navigate the complexities of modern culture, digital fatigue, and the ancient stories that still shape our faith today.In this episode, we tackle a thoughtful listener question about whether our language has become too academic or niche for newer believers. We explore the importance of making theological concepts accessible while still honoring the depth of the scriptures. Tim shares his recent experiences with spiritual coaching and finding holiness in unexpected places, from historic cathedrals to the high-energy community of a hardcore mosh pit.The core of our conversation focuses on a fascinating lens for the Lord's Prayer: seeing it as a New Exodus prayer. We discuss how Jesus positions himself as a new Moses, leading his people out of captivity and through a spiritual wilderness. By connecting petitions like hallowed be your name and daily bread to the original Exodus story and the provision of manna, we discover a posture of dependence that is perfect for our own in-between times.Chapters0:00 Summer Plans and Special Guests3:15 Roller Coasters and Pickleball Injuries7:30 The End of Late Night TV and Cultural Mourning12:15 Navigating Political and Digital Fatigue18:40 Is Our Language Too Seeker Sensitive24:10 Reclaiming Holy Spaces and Spiritual Coaching30:25 The Struggle of Over-Analyzing Theology34:50 Did God Plan for a World with Death39:20 Hardcore Music and Finding Beauty in Chaos43:45 The Lord's Prayer as a New Exodus48:20 Connecting Fatherhood and the Divine Name53:10 Daily Bread and the Manna Story57:40 Forgiveness and the Wilderness Testing59:30 Seth Erre's Closing BlessingAs always, we encourage and would love discussion as we pursue.

What is beauty? Why is beauty important? How is beauty distorted? Listen to understand beauty through a new and impactful perspective."A strange thing to me is that God has not just been highlighting His beauty or general beauty but my beauty. I said to Him, 'I'll believe you, but I don't understand why it matters.' To which He responded, 'If you don't think you are beautiful what does that make Me? You have been made to image Me.' As I pondered this, I realized just how much the enemy and this world has attacked beauty and love in general and my beauty and my love specifically." -Ruth Paton-WillettListen to the previous episode mentioned.

We're sharing something special that was previously only for the breaker community on our Substack page: a chat Jonathan and I did with our special Substack community about what happens when we stop defining ourselves by what we do and start looking at who we actually are. We explore the profound connection between our unique souls, our internal states, and our physical health. Building on our recent conversation with Simon Sinek (world-renowned author of Start with Why and The Infinite Game), we discuss how to find your purpose by reconnecting to your “soul traits”—those inherent qualities you've carried since childhood. Mayim breaks down the neurophysiology of optimism, explaining how the state of our nervous system acts as the ultimate gatekeeper for our capacity to heal. In a world that often feels increasingly cynical and designed to polarize, maintaining a state of openness is a biological necessity. Jonathan explores how to find our unique purpose, highlighting how we often box ourselves into perceived limits that leave us feeling constrained and disconnected from our potential. To get more on rewriting these narratives, check out the recent Live with Mayim on Jonathan's Practical Spirituality page. Drawing on the wisdom of Michael Singer (The Untethered Soul), we also discuss the importance of “not fighting the universe”—dropping the internal resistance to what is happening so we can trigger biological responses that facilitate healing, even on a global scale. “Optimism is believing that even in a dark tunnel, there's light at the end.” It is about holding space for the belief that peace and reconciliation are possible, regardless of current suffering. This Live also covers: - The “Junk Room” Metaphor: How to identify the mental clutter and limiting stories that keep you feeling disconnected from your true potential. - Biology vs. Belief: How to clear the “energetic residue” of stress to allow your body to move from survival mode into recovery. - Finding Beauty in the Mundane: The power in finding the awe and wonder hidden in your daily routine.

The natural impulse to avoid challenges is understandable; after all, discomfort is not something we seek out. However, when we consistently evade struggles, we risk missing out on invaluable lessons and growth opportunities. Life has a way of presenting us with challenges, and rather than shy away from them, we should recognize that they can offer significant rewards if approached with the right mindset.I reflect on the notion of anti-fragility—how certain aspects of our being are strengthened through stress and adversity. It's important to acknowledge that while certain types of stress can be overwhelming, like the constant anxiety some experience, there is often a transformative reward that emerges from facing and overcoming these challenges. Those who have weathered the storms of anxiety often find that their journey through the fire leaves them not as they once were, but improved and enriched by their experiences.Throughout our conversation, I emphasize that struggle is an opportunity for introspection and personal discovery. The reality is that we often learn the most about ourselves in our darkest moments. Viewing struggle as a test of will and ingenuity reframes our perspective. When we embrace the challenges that life throws at us, we begin to cultivate qualities such as resilience and determination. The path of struggle is not without pain, but it is also filled with the potential for growth—academic insights show that stress, in measured doses, can strengthen us in ways we never anticipated.#anxietyrecovery #mentalhealthmatters #resilience #personaldevelopment #antifragility #overcominganxiety #mentalstrength #growthmindset #anxietycoachespodcast #wellnessjourney #mindfulness #selfimprovement #emotionalintelligence #innergrowth #healing #mentalhealthawareness #discipline #perseverance #stressmanagement #posttraumaticgrowth #selfconfidence #mindsetmatters #lifechallenges #psychology #wellbeing #ACP #GinaRyan #AnxietyCoachesPodcastSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
