    180: Why Good People Finish Last
    Sep 10 2025
    We're told all of our lives to be a good person, but what does that even mean? Is the "good" person the one who puts everyone else's needs before theirs and doesn't do much for themselves? And if I decide to be a "good" person, does that mean that I deserve the world? Society has told us that the "good" person is akin to the self sacrificing super hero, but maybe it's time to redefine it. Let's Pod about Why Good People Finish Last

    179: Is Retirement The Freedom You've Been Looking For?
    Sep 3 2025
    We work, we work, and we work. Longing for a sense of freedom that we feel like is just beyond the gates of retirement. We put our fun on hold and dreams of a freer tomorrow, and finally at the tender age of 62 we become eligible for early retirement. Is it the perfect plan or a waste of time? Let’s pod! Is Retirement The Freedom You've Been Looking For?

    175: If Your Fear Came To Dinner...
    Jul 30 2025
    90% of all fears are a fear of feelings. We don’t know the actual statistics, but when it comes down to it it’s pretty much the truth. We would rather change around our whole day to avoid one thing that is making you feel afraid. But the truth is that in life you don't know what you are going to feel at any given moment, and that is terrifying. But feelings are a part of the human experience, so why you acting scary? Let’s pod about If Your Fear Came to Dinner...

    174: The Healing Process and Its Impact on Ambition
    Jul 16 2025
    “They only want me for my ambition!” It’s cool to be ambitious but being ambitious doesn’t mean that you are actually doing anything. We talk about having ambition all the time, but what happens when you start to heal? Tamu Thomas says that the more she has healed the less ambitious she sees to be. We say the more we heal the more intentional and directed our ambition seems to become. What do you think about The Healing Process and Its Impact on Ambition? Let’s pod!
