Welcome to Planet Earth. It's buck wild here! In "Wanter Dynamics & The Love We Are" we'll explore the dynamic play of perspectives—the ongoing movement between The Wanter and our True Nature. We'll look at how it plays out in the everyday, and how easy it can be to get caught in it without even realizing we've been pulled in. We'll then explore some of the ancient practices that give us the chance to pause, notice, and rest back into something deeper. The war can be over—against our Wanter, and against others when they're in theirs. Then we can play, then we take care of each other, we honor each other, and we love each other. It is here that we realize that all along we are the love we've been looking for.

49. The Real Love
<p class="isSelectedEnd">What if some of the things we call love aren't actually love at all?</p> <p class="isSelectedEnd">In this episode, Mitch shares a powerful conversation with his son that led to a profound realization about generosity, self-sacrifice, and the nature of authentic care. After agreeing to an early morning appointment that left him exhausted, frustrated, and quietly resentful, his son found himself confronting an uncomfortable truth: what he had been calling love was often leaving himself behind.</p> <p class="isSelectedEnd">Through the practice Mitch calls the Living Practice, father and son explore the feelings beneath the frustration rather than trying to fix, justify, or escape them. As the emotional charge begins to soften, an unexpected insight emerges—one that transforms the way they understand service, kindness, and compassion.</p> <p class="isSelectedEnd">Together they examine the tendency to become everything for everyone, to overextend ourselves in the name of helping, and to confuse self-abandonment with love. In its place arises a simpler and more balanced question: How does the real love want to move in this moment?</p> <p class="isSelectedEnd">This episode explores boundaries, self-care, service, resentment, authenticity, and the possibility of offering genuine kindness without sacrificing ourselves in the process.</p> <p class="isSelectedEnd">Sometimes the most loving choice is not the one that says yes to everyone else. Sometimes the real love includes you too.</p> <p>For more, visit TheLoveWeAre.com.</p>

48. Go Along Guy
<p class="isSelectedEnd">What happens when being liked becomes more important than being honest?</p> <p class="isSelectedEnd">In this episode, Mitch explores the deeply human tendency to shape ourselves around the expectations of others in order to gain approval, avoid conflict, and feel secure. What begins as a reflection on our ancient survival instincts unfolds into a powerful examination of people-pleasing, identity, and the hidden cost of always saying yes.</p> <p class="isSelectedEnd">Through the story of what Mitch affectionately calls "Go Along Guy," listeners are invited into a journey of discovering how the desire to keep everyone happy can quietly become a prison. When a surprising confrontation shatters the illusion that everyone likes him, a profound unraveling begins—one that reveals the difference between genuine kindness and self-abandonment.</p> <p class="isSelectedEnd">This episode explores people-pleasing, identity, boundaries, self-respect, The Wanter, authenticity, and the liberating discovery that true love does not require us to leave ourselves behind.</p> <p class="isSelectedEnd">Sometimes the most loving thing we can do is stop trying to be everything for everyone and begin listening for what the real love wants.</p> <p>For more, visit TheLoveWeAre.com.</p>

47. Being With People
<p class="isSelectedEnd">How can we care deeply about others without becoming overwhelmed by what they're experiencing?</p> <p class="isSelectedEnd">In this episode, Mitch shares a pivotal lesson from his training as a therapist at Naropa University—one that completely transformed the way he learned to be with people. After being told by a professor that his tendency to absorb others' emotions would eventually lead to burnout, he was invited to discover a different way of relating: one that didn't require becoming a sponge for everyone else's energy.</p> <p class="isSelectedEnd">What followed was a powerful vision involving a kitchen sponge, a crystal, and a profound realization about the nature of presence. Through a blend of Tibetan Buddhist teachings, personal experience, and practical wisdom, Mitch explores the difference between absorbing another person's pain and resting in their deeper essence—the part of them that remains untouched by life's circumstances.</p> <p class="isSelectedEnd">Along the way, he shares an ancient contemplative approach that shifted his understanding of helping, healing, and listening. Rather than focusing solely on the content of someone's struggles, the invitation becomes to rest in what Tibetan traditions sometimes call "basic goodness"—the unbroken, whole, deep-ocean nature that exists within every person.</p> <p class="isSelectedEnd">This episode explores empathy, burnout, presence, compassion, counseling, Buddha nature, and the possibility of supporting others without carrying what isn't ours to hold.</p> <p class="isSelectedEnd">Sometimes the most powerful way to help someone is not by absorbing their pain, but by remembering the wholeness that already exists within them.</p> <p>For more, visit TheLoveWeAre.com.</p>
