Creating an emotionally and energetically integrated life. PLUS: how to get a runner's high in less than 23 miles.

A Thanksgiving special! Thoughts on the stickiness of gratitude, plus several voices giving thanks for the good in their lives.

In opera, a pausa is an intermission, or a short break between acts. We here at the Beautiful & True Project podcast need to reset the stage and prepare for Act 2.

Playing improv games with scientists, seeing each other's unique expertise, and the Beautiful & True in finding your calling.

A family passion for music, the force of nature that is her 4-year-old daughter, and the challenges of trying to find enough alone time to take a shower during a pandemic. And in the end, a surprise guest appearance.

Her delightful backyard farm, and what it’s like to raise animals for meat and slaughter them yourself, the ethics of being an omnivore. And of COURSE we talk about how 12 ducks wandering into almost any situation will make it better.

Fear and love, pain and justice, anger and mercy, and how it is possible for mere mortals to create something beautiful and true out of some garbage and a patch of desert.
