We encounter loss in all sorts of ways…the death of a loved one, the end of a friendship, the loss of a job… One that we often experience is the loss of a pet, either through death or the end of a relationship–and the grief that comes from this. This special, and often unrecognized loss, is not easy. So, how do we cope?…

People who know me, are aware that I’m an avid wool spinner and knitter…but when I’m talking about “I’m Spinning…” in this episode’s title, I’m not talking about the wool I’m playing with because of extra time at home, I’m talking about my head. All the changes that are happening are mind-boggling!

Humour is a funny thing (no pun intended!). What one person thinks is hilarious, another person barely breaks a smile. What counts as humour in one culture is seen as insulting in another. Not only is humour tricky, but we also hold certain beliefs about its value–especially regarding our health. In this post, we’ll explore three areas of belief ab…

You don’t have to do it all. Sometimes life throws us a curveball. Maybe we have been diagnosed with a serious illness. Our partner has ended the relationship or died.

One of the concepts in Buddhism is that ‘everything changes…nothing stays the same’. While I have found this to be true, change can come in different ways. Sometimes it’s foisted upon us, and sometimes we are the initiators. The focus of this podcast is on changes that we put in place, and specifically, the mindset and process (Stages of Change) th…

If left to our own devices, we tend to imagine that we’ll live, if not forever, at least for a very long time. However, once in a while, we are given a non-tr…

People come and go in our lives for a variety of reasons. Sometimes it’s because we meet a new friend, or a relationship ends. Maybe we’re the ones coming and going as we change jobs or move to a new city. At some point, our entrances and exits are more substantial…we are born and we die. That’s the circle of life.…

One of the great illusions that we hang on to as humans is that the earth beneath our feet is solid. However, science, and our awareness of earthquakes, and erupting volcanoes, tells us that this isn’t true. Yet, we trust in the illusion because of personal experience–we can’t feel the ground moving, so it must be stable.…
