Podcast Overview
<p>Living with intention, particularly amidst the noise of adult life, can feel elusive at best. Without even noticing, we get swept up in the noise as we try to just put one foot in front of the other and check off the next task. <br><br>I don't want to live like that. <br><br>I want to mine the full depths of my and our adventure in this world. <br><br>Whether it’s in a book, song, poem, podcast, or coming out of somebody’s mouth - I often hear or read some wise words that shake something awake inside of me. The words might be affirming, challenging, the perfect capture of a hard to describe idea, or a swift kick in the pants. When I take the time to just sit with it…to pause and think deeply about the words and about my relationship to those words…that’s when I’m able to find the meaning that helps me think and act differently. So in this podcast, I’ll bring that experience to you - wise words that a range of people from all walks of life have shared about living a more intentional, deeply experienced life. And we will have some dialogue with others around what those words might mean. It will be a structured space where we can slow down and maybe even get disrupted in ways you and I were needing. </p>

Let's Just Hang Out in the Uncertainty
Send us a textI'm lucky to have my friend Dr. Chad Seales join up for this episode. And buckle up! Chad is one heck of a thinker, so be prepared to hit the "go back 15 seconds" button a few times. As a launch point for our discussion, we start with this quote from Richard Rohr (who has shaped my thinking about faith / religion / spirtuality as much as anyone): My scientist friends have come up with things like Principles of Uncertainty and Dark Holes. They are willing to live inside...

Don't Just Do Something....Sit There.
<p>Trying out a new format for the podcast based on some lessons learned, so let's see how it goes. <br/><br/>In this episode, I'll share a little bit about a mentor I was so fortunate to have. His name is Rick Lear. Rick died last week, which had me thinking a lot about him and all the wisdom he offered to so many of us. He was truly one of one, unlike anybody I've ever known. <br/><br/>Early in my relationship with Rick, he advised a group of us to "don't just do something...sit there." And I've spent the last 12 years learning about everything that might actually mean. <br/><br/>Hope you find something in here to just sit with. And, as always, you can catch me at matt@justsitwithit.com. </p>

More Both/And and Less Either/Or
<p>In this episode, my friend Dr. Jude Garnier joins me for a discussion about our abilities to more patiently hold seemingly opposite perspectives, possibly in the same moment, and how we can more patient in how we make sense of what's going on around us. <br/><br/>We use this quote from Dr. Robert Kegan to get us started: “You start…constructing a world that is much more friendly to contradiction, to oppositeness, to being able to hold onto multiple systems of thinking…This means that the self is more about movement through different forms of consciousness than about defending and identifying with any one form.” <br/><br/>And then we move on to another Robert Kegan quote Jude brought along: "Successfully functioning in a society with diverse values, traditions and lifestyles requires us to have a relationship to our own reactions rather than be captive to them. To resist our tendencies to make right or true, that which is nearly familiar, and wrong or false, that which is only strange."<br/><br/>Check us out at <a href='https://www.justsitwithit.com/'>justsitwithit.com</a>, and email me at matt@justsitwithit.com. </p>
