Join us with guest Ellen as she takes us through The Wim Hof Method. Step 1: breath meditation. Step 2: set an intention. Step 3: cold plunge. This episode dives into each step of the Wim Hof Method, ultimately convincing all of us to try it for ourselves. Ellen has been incorporating this method into her daily routine since April and swears by the positive effects it has had in her life. Join us for this conversation and maybe try it for yourself. Let us know what you think!

Frankl's logotherapy ( form of existential therapy), tragic optimism, as well as keeping hope and faith while enduring suffering. Come along with them on this bumpy but entertaining journey of discovering meaning!

In 1996, Bill Bryson was one among many thousands of hikers who attempted to hike the entire Appalachian Trail. Joined by an old friend, Katz, the two amateur hikers set out to walk the over 2,000-mile journey and see what they learn along the way.

This was a very different kind of nature memoir for Michelle. Rather than healing past wounds or conquering a mighty unknown, the two hikers learn far more about how to appreciate hamburgers and exactly what time is quitting time (spoiler alert: it's sooner than you'd think!) Kicking off Season 3 of Circle Time, your hosts found appreciation for Bryson's mellow and accessible outlook on nature and outdoor adventure.
