Everything is Workable

Learn to Enjoy

We tend to get stuck on the idea that we can make things we appreciate or moments we enjoy last as long as possible. What if, instead of trying to make things last, we took the approach to enjoy what we have, when we have it, as much as possible? 

You Are Big Enough

In which Kaitlyn invites everyone to become a Bodhisattva, to learn how to ‘human’ a little better, and to see that each and every one of us is big enough for out life.

Intention

Kicking off season 2, the theme is intention! Checking out intention can prevent us from causing harm. What better way to start of the New Year than by setting the intention to be of benefit.

Compassion

Compassion is the antidote to apathy. Cultivating compassion is one of the greatest things we can do with our life. 

Bones & Marrow

In which Kaitlyn has a guest! Gretchen joins the show to discuss what makes something pithy and to share a selection of favourite pithy teachings taken from ‘Zen Mind, Beginner’s Mind’ by Shunryu Suzuki, ‘Everyday Zen’ by Charlotte Joko Beck and ‘Glimpses of Mahayana’ by Choygyam Trungpa Rinpoche. 

The Most Important Thing

Pema has a teaching: If death is certain and the time until death is uncertain, what’s the most important thing? In this episode Kaitlyn unpacks this and talks about how to apply it as a daily practice for brilliant results. 

Love!

I wrote the script for this a week before discovering this video by Dr. Maya Angelou. I think this podcast compliments this video. Also, Karla Mclaren is awesome, check out her stuff: karlamclaren.com 

Drop the Storyline

We all have our storylines or ‘little universes’, as Elizabeth Mattis-Namgyel likes to say. When we learn to drop our storyline we can see our world in a much bigger way. 

Be Grateful

#FirstWorldProblems are not really problems at all. In this episode Kaitlyn talks about a light hearted approach we can take to ‘problems’, to help develop humbleness and an appreciation for what we have.
