It's Beyond Me: An Update
Into the Living Room: Behind-the-Scenes of a Lifelong Learner
If you know anything about me, you know that I have felt awkward for most of my life. I still do to be honest. For so long I felt like I was born without life’s operating instructions, like I was missing the manual or something. But as I grew up, I realized that, you know what, most people felt like me, too, at least at some point in their life, maybe not now. But when I was younger, oh my goodness, I thought I was the only one. I think that’s why I’ve always loved to hear other people’s stories. The people, the experiences, the books, the art, the teachings that made them who...

Into the Living Room: Behind-the-Scenes of a Lifelong Learner
I initially started this audio project 11 years ago. At that time, it was called, The Firebelly Chronicles. It was a video podcast where I interviewed people like author Julia Cameron (The Artist's Way) and owner and founder, Dave Dahl (Dave's Killer Bread). I had always admired people (and still do) who had a fire in their belly and the courage to bring that fire to life. 🔥 After my son was born, The Firebelly Chronicles evolved into Winging It. And as I reflect on the creative decision to evolve the project into Winging...

Since launching the podcast almost five years ago, a lot has happened, and I’ve figured some things out.

Winging It: Episode 20: Learning to Lean Into the Universe
Into the Living Room: Behind-the-Scenes of a Lifelong Learner
In this episode, we re-visit what exactly Winging It means. Winging It is about preparing our heart-out and putting our full self out there. Then, it’s about surrendering it all. It’s about giving our all, and then, letting it all go. It’s about working our hardest, and then leaving the rest up to the universe, to God, to the cosmos, to nature—to whatever you may believe in.

Into the Living Room: Behind-the-Scenes of a Lifelong Learner
Throughout my life, I've realized that my biggest teacher and companion in life has been death. It's when I ponder my own mortality, that I am most able to gain perspective, wisdom, and inspiration to live more open, more fully, and more alive. I reflect on death, and ask Johnny about death as well, in this latest Winging It episode.

info_outline
My son has been my greatest teacher. Being his mother has pushed me into myself – all my issues, my unrealized dreams, and upon his arrival, reminded me of all that I was before he came into my life, as if I was looking at myself outside myself.
The more I grow in motherhood, the more I learn about life.
I know these learnings would have made their way to me via a different route had I not decided to become a mother, but I am extremely grateful it was my son who dropped them on my doorstep.
He said, "Mom, deal with this. Now."
In this next bonus episode, We are all Winging It, I come to a big realization at the close of 2015.
I also have exciting news about the future of Winging It.
Thanks again for listening and Happy New Year to you all!
