   38. Velleity: The Gap Between Desire and Action

   We're loving this 17th‑century word: Velleity — a wish so faint it never moves toward action. We talk about how that tiny, hovering longing shows up in our lives: the dreams we tuck away (moving cities, learning a language, writing a book, mending a relationship) and the reasons why we don’t go after them — fear, timing, tenderness, the cost of grief, or simply not wanting to give something up. We riff on whether these whispers are nudges toward your dharma or soft fantasies that keep you comfortable. Sometimes a velleity is a useful filter; other times it’s a signal pointing at fear or shame or a value you’ve unconsciously chosen to protect. We get into the messy middle — the gap between longing and action — and how to tell if a desire wants to be lived, needs grieving, or could become a future promise. Practically, we explore questions that helped us: What would you do if you weren’t afraid? What would your deathbed self wish you had tried? Which small side quests are blocking your main quest? We talk timing, building capacity, pseudo-actions (the busywork that pretends to be progress), and how naming these desires can free you to choose more consciously. If this episode strikes something in you, bring it home: name your longings, sort them into ‘try now’, ‘try later’, and ‘let go’, and be gentle with the work of grieving the ones you won’t pursue.

   37. Get Outside: Your 30-Day Spring Aliveness Challenge

   **Get Outside Challenge** Spring is here and Bryan & I want to invite you into something delightfully simple yet sooo rewarding: 20 minutes outside daily for 30 days. No pressure, no perfection — just showing up to feel the sun, breathe the air, listen to water, and notice how you shift. Whether you live near a rushing river, a small patch of grass, or just a sunny driveway, this challenge is for people who want more calm, clearer sleep, fresher focus, and gentler, real-life connection. We’ll walk you through tiny, doable prompts — go barefoot, sit by water, notice a living creature, or step outside in the rain — and give you a community to share what you discover. Expect benefits like better sleep, lowered stress, a stronger immune system, brighter mood, and sharper creativity — and maybe a surprise moment of awe when you least expect it. Come as you are. Bring a friend, your kid, or your dog. Ditch the earbuds if you can, check the daily prompts, and fully enjoy your 20 minutes outside...simple really. Kickoff is April 12th — sign up at YogaEarthSoul.com to join the challenge, grab free course access when you complete it, and be entered to win our amazing Grand Prize that includes private coaching, YES membership, and even an online 200-hour yoga training! We can’t wait to see how a month of small, outdoor practices changes your days.

   36. Gratitude: Our Quiet Superpower

   Hey friends — what are you grateful for? We'd love to hear from you, our beloved listeners. Even in these difficult times gratitude can be found in the small luxuries, nature's beauty, and kind gestures. In this episode Bryan and I sit by the fire and get honest about gratitude: what it really means, why it’s more than a feel-good platitude, and how it rewires our nervous systems and relationships when we practice it. We unpack gratitude as an awareness that goodness often comes from outside ourselves — think oranges, rain, farmers, and the timing that feels like a little miracle. We also talk about why gratitude can feel scary for people who are used to hustling, and how it isn’t about fake positivity: you can hold grief and gratitude at the same time. Practical stuff you can try: a one-minute nightly practice of naming three specific things you’re grateful for, a gratitude “rampage” when you feel a spark of beauty, and using gratitude language in relationships to build trust and repair. Small, specific acknowledgements make gratitude land more deeply. We also dig into the tricky parts — when gratitude feels threatening in a group that bonds over complaint, or when someone’s been wronged — and offer gentle ways to shift the pattern without dismissing real pain. Gratitude doesn’t erase the hard; it enlarges our ability to hold life’s complexity. An invitation for you: try the exercises and send us three things you’re grateful for. Subscribe, share with someone you love, and let’s keep getting intimate about the little and big gifts of life.
