Where the Veil Grows Thin

Please join me as I welcome Isa Catto to this episode of Where the Veil Grows Thin.

Isa Catto's daughter, Bailey, left Colorado for a dream job on Broadway. A charismatic, intellectual, smart, funny young woman, Bailey died just days after graduating high school when she took a drug laced with Fentanyl.

Isa graciously agreed to come talk about what Bailey's life was like up until that moment and how her ...

Join Ben and I as we explore the random encounters in life and the depth and richness that can be found in those moments. We talk about the way reminders of mortality, whether our own or someone else’s, change us. And what we do with what we learn when we wake up and step out into the world.

Next episode I'll be welcomg Isa Catto to Where the Veil Grows Thin. You can learn more about her at isacatto.com.

Defining faith is a personal, intimate thing to be asked to do. Join Ben LeRoy and I as we step into the conversation that lead us to realize that what we were talking about was just that; a definition of faith. Different for everyone. And important to have if we want to be able to move through our days and nights and come out relatively intact.

Join Ben and I as we talk about the idea of metastatic joy and goodness; the question of how to spread goodness and the idea that it is so ingrained in us to not talk about the things we do that are good, that we forget how important it is to talk about the good things others are doing in our communities thus inspiring more of that to grow.

Join me and my dear friend, Sonja Linman, for a 30 min conversation about grief, the great denominator of humankind....the most common thread that connects us all. We talk about our lives working with children who are grieving. How they so beautifully teach us what they need from us or the times when they cannot how we have to trust we have it in us somewhere. We talked about Sonja being a monthly guest to talk in her unique and wi...

I wanted this to be between 5 and 6 minutes and I'll get there some day but this week our moment of meditation/reflection is just over 7 minutes. Hopefully, it will be 7 minutes well spent.
It is December 6th. We have just over 4 more weeks of what I'm calling 'the holidays'. 
And then, Valentine's Day.
These reminders, often of things we've lost, don't stop. 
Learning to ground in...

This guided imagery is one that uses the vision of a mountain lake on a beautiful summer day. These offerings are best utilized at home or anywhere that you can create the space necessary to listen with your eyes closed. I hope it eases you into your weekend with a greater sense of peace.

A couple of weeks ago I wrote about a sleepless night spent thinking about my death. Since then, I’ve had a couple of people ask me what I have seen happen to others when the reality of their death becomes very clear. What kinds of ‘shifts’ in their day to day life? What kinds of shifts in their focus? Do priorities rearrange suddenly? Join Ben and I as we discuss some of the ways people approach their own mortality.

You c...

I thought this would be my first podcast of guided imagery. Not exactly meditation. Not in the sense some of you may be used to. These will be moments of grounding, thoughtful words of possibility, offerings of ‘what if’. This first one requires nothing of you but a listening ear. 
Next week, I’ll ask a bit more of you if you are willing.

Thank you for listening to Where the Veil Grows Thin.
