Lights Like Us

Lights Like Us is back and we have all kinds of new plans, starting with our new website with all kinds of goodies and a new "wonder" section launching on 4.3.21. Ryan and Heidi talk a little about what's been happening and what's coming!

Ryan and Heidi jump back on the 10th anniversary of a big day to talk about 10 things they’ve learned/changed/thought about since then.

In the ever-evolving and changing experiment called Behind the Shadows (some small-ish, daily-ish thoughts about the world, light, and freedom) Episode 5 mixes it up a bit and talks about well… the most important question in the world.

A short something to think about in terms of the great stories and myths (and Bible).

No fear? Or, the right kind of fear?

Dogs and wolves. Big and small.

Jumper cables, light, aqueducts, shaping, 2 x 4’s, and whatever that “god-shaped-hole” thing is about.

Introducing a new little thing… just from Ryan. Subtitle: Liberation for the Free Subtitle: Holy Insipid Subtitle: some small-ish, daily-ish thoughts about the world, light, and freedom.

After a little hiatus in some history-making, surreal, and very strange times, Ryan and Heidi are back (with Isaac and Abbey) to talk about the day we are all living.

The kids are back! This time Ryan and (a very sick sounding Heidi) talk about a few small things with them including climate change, the education system, and healthcare. Small, easy topics.

Some better language that might help to define the things that you’re feeling - especially nones, especially with family and friends who are not. It’s idols, freedom, cages, attachments, not knowing, and mystery and all that… but it’s really about getting bigger, bigger, bigger… always bigger, never smaller. That can be threatening but it shouldn’t be.

A few encouraging words to the nones… from Ryan and Heidi… because we nones are the ones who might be hearing the song better than anyone. Right? Maybe…

Suwanee is a star and this podcast only scratches the surface of her amazing story and strength. Three moms. A leprosy colony. Bullying. Never fitting in. Caught between two worlds. Buddhist monks and a private Christian school. Yeah, it just keeps going. What an awesome human with an incredible life story.

It's such a big, complicated, topic that Ryan and Heidi had to split it into two. And that's just for starters. Purity, orgasm, masturbation, sex, marriage, love, and all of that… Ryan and Heidi talk about what they used to believe and what they do now. Part One is back then and Part Two is today. Just like any good relationship, part one and part two make each other better so don't just listen to one. Sexuality Part One and Part Two are now out. Notes: Books: The Purity Myth. Jessica Valenti Mating in Captivity. Esther Perel Girls and Sex - Peggy Orenstein Boys and Sex - Peggy Orenstein Podcasts: Esther Perel on Armchair Expert with Dax Shephard Peggy Orenstein on the Goop Fellas.

Ryan and Heidi are obsessed with all things Nordic. Of course, their aesthetic and vibe but all their perspective and way they see life, light, and darkness. No one is perfect, of course, but the Nordic countries and cultures have a lot figured out - and Ryan and Heidi talk about what they've learned and integrated in their own lives to make them better and how it could lead to making our own country better.

Heidi and Ryan had an epic weekend with some members of the NGPA (National Gay Pilots Association) and had to talk about it. They learned some things, were humbled by some things, and were definitely inspired like crazy by some of the most amazing humans on the planet. There is still so much to learn but this conversation about the LGBTQ community will hopefully help us all keep moving.

Systems, prisons, chains, blindness, fighting for relationships, feeling trapped, liberation, navigating the voices in your head about all of these things… insipid.

Ryan and Heidi are back! For Season 3! It's time to get (even more) real and it starts with talking about when we're supposed to talk and when we're supposed to be quiet. When is it important and when is it not? What are the lines? It's complicated!
