NEW EPISODE! Our world is rapidly changing and can often feel like being inside of a snow globe, where everything is shaken up every time things begin to settle. Feeling overwhelmed? Join Lynn and Special Guest Lacey as they share their personal journeys and practical tips for balancing community care with inner growth during this time of change. (Note: Thank you Lacey for being real with us, as our dear friend Karen rests and recovers from surgery over the next few weeks.)

NEW EPISODE! Life is hard and people are struggling. This is a fact and it is a normal human response to the events happening around us ... in our communities, our country and the world. As the attempts by systems to dehumanize people get louder and more frequent in an age of endless information, it can be a heavy lift to hold empathy for the ever-increasing harm and pain happening around us. Join Karen and Lynn as they share why empathy is our superpower against destructive systems and how it is the foundation for creating the world we hope for.

NEW EPISODE: Systems of oppression thrive in environments that keep us separate, feeling different and "othering" people. The reality? We are all connected. Resisting the divisive nature of our world requires us to reconnect with the humans around us and hear who they really are. Each person has a story and connecting with curiosity and compassion helps us to understand how they came to understand the world. Join Karen and Lynn as they talk through the isolation, lack of belonging and differentness many are feeling and embracing connection as the antidote. Disclaimer: This does not mean that we tolerate abuse, oppression or violence. Ever.

NEW EPISODE! In our attempts to find support, often we are told that "we are keeping you safe" when forced treatment or psychiatric interventions are put into place. But who are the systems really keeping safe? Join Karen and Lynn as they unpack the term “safety” and name the harm being done by hierarchal systems that look to protect the organization rather than honestly hear what support the person is asking for.

With each workshop, training and Community Living Room we participate in, we witness the transformation that happens when people feel seen, heard and valued just as they are through the connection and space we provide. Join Lynn and Karen as they share the true power of connection and how it has deeply touched their lives.

TIME FOR A REPLAY! What is your relationship with emotion? Are some emotions more comfortable to express? How comfortable are you with another person expressing emotion?

NEW EPISODE! As human beings, we are constantly learning and evolving. This is also true of our values. When was the last time you looked deeply into your values and how they play out in your life? As our world changes, it is becoming increasingly important to know what you value and why. Join Karen and Lynn as they talk through the values alignment they both experienced at the recent Wisconsin Peer Recovery Conference and the importance of creating time for your own values self-reflection.

NEW EPISODE! There are a number of memes on the internet that say, "If you aren't angry, you aren't paying attention." Our country is changing at unheard of speeds (intentionally, mind you) and you may be feeling off balance, overwhelmed or defeated ... in addition to angry! Your responses to the state of the world are NORMAL. Join Karen and Lynn as they talk through their own normal responses and invite you to join us and know you are not alone.

TIME FOR A REPLAY! Our lives are filled with uncertainty. This was amplified exponentially when we were in the throes of a pandemic. Not only did we have questions specific to the pandemic, but political divide and the the rampant distribution of misinformation created even more uncertainty. Join Karen and Lynn as they talk through the discomfort of uncertainty and the importance of feeling our emotions to move beyond it.

NEW EPISODE! Our world seems to be moving at an accelerated pace, and the constant stream of information isn't helpful. When we are feeling overwhelmed, it can be easy to react (rather than respond). Join Lynn, Karen and Nick Schiller (Karen's oldest) as they talk through the nature of reacting, how emotions play into our reactions, and giving ourselves the opportunity to slow down, pause and feel our way through to the other side.

NEW EPISODE! Our world is overwhelming. Our lives can be overwhelming. Finding the time, space and energy to tackle even one piece of it can be overwhelming. Join Karen and Lynn as they lean on the wisdom of Adrienne Maree Brown and her philosophy that "Small is all." Taking small steps or making small changes has impact and often much bigger impact than we even realize.

NEW EPISODE! We are all carrying a lot in our day-to-day lives. From the challenges we face personally, to the challenges of our family and friends ... add in the struggles of our communities, our state, our nation and the world ... is it any wonder we are feeling exhausted and overwhelmed? Join Karen and Lynn as they share their layers and reassure their listeners that they are not alone.
