  • The Joy of Failure

    The Joy of Failure
    Apr 23 2026

    In this episode of The Gathering Room, I set out to interview author Eric Zimmer about his brilliant new book, How a Little Becomes a Lot, but life had other plans. Due to some frustrating tech failures, we were forced to reschedule. But in the shambles of my expectations, I felt inspired to talk about a core concept in Eric's book: the resiliency to bounce back after something hasn't worked. Tune in to learn how failing is essential for success, and how you can find peace, and even joy, in failure.

  • The Unknown World

    The Unknown World
    Apr 16 2026

    We’re living through a “phase transition,” but I believe it’s what our souls signed up for. In this Gathering Room, I explore why the chaos of our times isn’t a sign of collapse, but of metamorphosis. Using the metaphor of ice to water to steam, I share how relaxation, not clinging, is the key to navigating radical change. I’ll also guide you in our Space, Silence, and Stillness meditation and share why your wackiest fascination may be your best compass right now. Join me, and let’s learn to fly.

  • What to Do With Pain

    What to Do With Pain
    Apr 2 2026

    This Gathering Room was inspired by…my neck. Painful, stiff, and cranky, like it’s got a personal grudge against relaxation. As it turns out, it’s teaching me the ultimate lesson: that pain isn’t the enemy, but a doorway to awakening. In this episode, I share how a brutal bout of food poisoning finally cracked me open to Divine relief flowing down my spine, relaxing what I couldn’t relax on my own. If you're suffering any kind of pain and need some help, this episode is for you. Join me!
