It's here! We made a podcast for people whose inner knowing has been whispering that there's another way. For questioners. For people whose lives stopped working the way they were told they would. For people who suspect that "fine" isn't actually as good as it gets. Each episode is a conversation between Meredith and me. Not an interview. Not a how-to. Just real talk between two people who've lived through some unraveling of conventional life, and who, if we're being honest, are still asking the questions and still riding the waves. We have some experience. And we're still in it. This podcast is a conversation with you, as we each find our own way. The thing we want to say at the top, before you listen, is this: We don't have your answers. We believe you do. In episode one, we introduce ourselves and the conversations that finally became this podcast. I tell the story that changed my life: a phone call with a midwife, twenty-eight years ago, that lasted an hour and set me on the path I'm still walking. Meredith talks about her own awakening from the rule-follower life: school, college, corporate job, marriage, parenting young to becoming someone who helps other people return to their own knowing. And we name what we mean by thriving. It's not what wellness culture says it is. It's about thirty minutes. You could listen on a walk, or while you make dinner, or before you go to sleep tonight.

And we're so excited to share it with you! With love, Rebecca + Meredith Be curious. Be kind. Start with yourself. |
Hello dear one, Last week I sent you the Radical Rest Kit, and I confessed that I'd built it while discovering I had, ironically, run right past my own needs for rest in the process. A lot of you wrote back to check on me, to laugh with me at their own recognition of themselves in similar moments, and that reassured me that I’m not the only one. Thank you. I've been thinking all week about what real rest actually looks like. Because the picture in our heads, the one of someone in bed, doing...
Hello dear one, This week, I noticed myself in a really old pattern, and I wanted to share it with you because I think you might recognize something similar in yourself. A few days ago, I did the very thing I help others learn to do differently. I pushed myself past the point where I should have stopped, ironically working on a Radical Rest Retreat. I worked to exhaustion trying to finish, forgetting everything I know cognitively about rest and the nervous system, until I hit the place I...
Last week, we sent you the very first episode of Thriving Humans. Today I want to tell you about what's happened since then. Episodes two and three are live! Episode two is called Cycle Breaking, and it's the conversation so many of you have wanted me to have with you for a long time. (Rebecca, how do we break these cycles???) Meredith and I had this one ourselves long before we ever pressed record. I know that cycle breaking is one of those phrases that gets thrown around a lot, and most of...
