Something strange happens when we look back. We tend to appreciate our lives more in retrospect than in the present moment — and there are fascinating psychological reasons why. This episode explores the gratitude gap: the distance between the life we're living and the life we're liking. It looks at what gets in the way of appreciation, why waiting to appreciate life later can be a trap — and two practical orientations for closing the gap, starting today.

The tunnel is the space between who you were and who you are becoming. It can feel like failure, stagnation, or being lost. It isn't. This episode explores one of the most universal and least discussed passages of a human life — and what it actually asks of you. (Something new is coming.

In this episode, Sandy sits down with renowned philosopher and author Tim Freke to explore the promises and pitfalls of modern spirituality. We discuss how spiritual practices and groups can enrich our lives but also where they can go astray, and Tim shares his thought-provoking vision of a spirituality - and even a God - that he believes meets the needs of today’s evolving world. Whether you’re a seeker, a skeptic, or simply curious, this conversation offers interesting insight into how we might reimagine spirituality, the deeper meaning of human life, and spiritual connection in the 21st century.
