Let's Play: The Create Podcast

What is our responsibility to life? To many of us, “responsibility" is a BIG word. Maybe even a heavy word!! It can carry ideas of doing what we don’t want to do… being in a state of obligation. But what if our true responsibility to life is to be one with this present moment? To be one with what Existence is asking for? As we learn to respond from a deeper place, rather than react in fear to life… we can feel a great inner oneness with all that is.

What if the new measure of success, wasn’t how much money you made, things you achieved, or followers you had on social media?? What if the NEW MEASURE of success is HOW MUCH FUN YOU ARE HAVING?? Can you imagine if you spent your day focused on fun, on getting the juice out of the moment, on appreciating those around you? What if you turned the tables on the standards of the world and took a stand for JOY being the barometer of your life?

This week we interview our soul sister and actress/playwright Maddie Corman about her process in developing her solo show “ACCIDENTALLY BRAVE.” We talk about the courage it takes to create from vulnerability, how to tell our own story, and why we “take our broken hearts and turn it into art.” We love Maddie so much, and we can’t wait to share her with you!!

It is very easy to judge our emotions. We want to categorize them or label them as “good" or “bad.” The truth is, we are sentient beings. Our nature is to feel. We have a capacity to CREATE through our emotions powerfully. How do we learn to develop a NEW RELATIONSHIP with ourselves and our feelings so they can be our friend in the process?

We want to keep our mess hidden. It’s human nature. We don’t want anyone else to see what we don’t think is “perfect.” We were taught that people judge by appearances and that its important to LOOK like we have it all together. But what if we were taught that the MESS is where the JUICE is? It’s our passion. It’s our path. It’s what we incarnate for… What if the MESS is where all the good stuff is? This week we talk about EMBRACING OUR MESS, and letting it become OUR MESSAGE!!

When life doesn’t make sense, or things seem challenging or confusing, often we want to start DOING something. But sometime Life is telling us… “Shhh, what you’ve been doing ISN’T working. There is something I want to SHOW you. Slow down. Stop. Wait. Watch.” In this way we are being called to STOP, and to meet whatever discomfort arises with compassion and curiosity. This week we talk about the important of Stillness and Silence when there’s something new that wants to be born into our lives.

We’ve all had moments when we feel that we are cut off from who we really are, what we stand for, or what we came here to do. But how often is it because we are allowing some circumstance or some person be the reason that we let go off our peace, joy, abundance, success, or happiness? We give our power away when we become prisoners to our circumstance or our negative perspective. This week we talk about our true Power Source and how to tap into energy... regardless of the world in form. It is that moment where we can truly see how powerful we are.

You guys!!! It’s our 100th episode!!! Can you believe it!?! And to celebrate, we are having our BIGGEST CRUSH stop by to visit the podcast! Meet writer, philosopher, and storyteller Pete Rollins who hung out and spoke about the events in our lives that transform everything, meeting our strangeness, and the pleasure of the struggle.

“What do I do with my anxiety?” Have you ever asked this question? Have you ever felt that anxiety was keeping you from truly enjoying your life? Our friend Kristen Bell talks about building a tool kit of methods to deal with anxiety, and how even exploring and befriending your anxiety can be a spiritual path in life.

We are so excited to share this interview this week!!! Our very own Corey Camperchioli to talk about his film FEMME, following your vision, dealing with fear, and how to create the art that carries the message that you need to hear.

We often feel like we are waiting for a MIRACLE. Waiting for something to change our lives, so that we can be who we want or have what we want to have. But the truth is that the MIRACLE is already here. Because the miracle that you have been waiting for is YOU. In this first podcast of 2018, we dive into what it takes to be a MIRACLE MAKER.

Last week was Resonating with Greatness - Part 1, now we dive into Part 2! We explore the habits of Greatness and how can we start to incorporate those into our lives — especially as 2019 is knocking at our door. Invite more GREAT into your day!!

"Greatness” sounds like a big word, doesn’t it? So big that it actually feels unattainable sometimes. Yet in our hearts we crave it. We know it is possible. Can the way to Greatness be created by changing our habits? This week we talk about the Habits of Mediocrity. What is the behavior that finds its way into our lives that stands in the way of Greatness?

Do you allow yourself to receive from the Universe? Can you see the good that Love is giving you? Or do you sense that there is a deeper way to allow yourself to receive? “Receiving” isn’t just something that happens to you — it’s actually a way of living in the world. Join us this week as we talk about how each one of can turn ourselves in a Power Receiver!

“PRONOIA” — it’s the belief that the Universe is conspiring in your favor!! Can you imagine what’d be like if we truly believed that?? Would it eliminate hurry, fear, or scarcity?? Would we trust our experience as it unfolds?? Would we be open in a different way to what comes into our experience?? Would it allow us to enjoy the present moment more? This week we jam on the concept of “pronoia” and how we can use it as a tool to bring more peace and joy into our lives.

Do you ever look around and say “well, life would be better if THIS thing wasn’t here?” We often have aversions to the very situation, person, issue that has come for our deepest healing and growth. If we trust that the Universe is FOR us, and is all-loving, then we can also trust that everything has come into our lives to reveal more love, more truth, and more expansion. It’s time to honor, cherish, and listen to exactly the things that present themselves as challenges — because Everything is Your Teacher.

Man, isn’t it interesting how many of us have been taught that “life is tough” and that you have to “work hard to get ahead”?? Many of these beliefs can keep us out of the JOY of the present moment and STRESSED about a future that isn’t actually occurring. What if we changed the entire concept of why we are here?? What if we are here for joy, for play, for pleasure? What if we are here to express who we are??? What if the Universe (in its infinite wisdom) knows what we need, loves to support and take care of us, and it's up to us to relax, breathe, trust, and let the good stuff in??? What if it’s up to us to enjoy the game??

Our buddy Josh Radnor — actor, writer, director, producer, and musician — stopped by to jam on creativity, spirituality, and his own personal process of discovery. We go deep into why “success” doesn’t just solve every answer, the magic of failure, and beginning brave enough to begin new things. Josh inspires us because he is a constant reminder to follow our Dharma over the things we “think” will give us the illusion of happiness. Come listen in as we talk about the process of becoming the person who will catch you.

Oh, The Doom Monster!!! Do you ever finding yourself thinking about the worst case scenario? Or wondering when the other shoe is going to drop? This week we talk about WHY we often find ourselves preparing for “The Doom Monster,” what this does to our lives, and how we can start to create a new relationship with the present moment.

We got asked by a listener to talk about PLEASURE!! What’s more fun than that?!? If you are a regular listener, you know we are big advocates of play and pleasure. But do you know why?! Because it opens us to our TRUE POWER!!! Our true identity!!! It allows us access to an energy inside of us, that is the same energy that animates the Universe. Listen and then make Play and Pleasure your number one priority today!!!
