Linger in Curiosity

Linger in Curiosity

Suffering is the cost of our unventilated stories and the actions we take when curiosity isn't present.  When interpersonal friction arises, it's easy to assume the issue belongs to the other person's unexplored shadow. We look outward to diagnose or fix the "problem," skipping the internal inquiry entirely. But what if our discomfort is an invitation for greater curiosity? What if what we are calling a problem contains a truth we don't want to hear? Sparked by a listener's email about a real conflict she was sitting with, Rebecca offers a reframe for how to stay with discomfort when friction arises, notice what learnings are yours to receive, and access grace to release what isn't yours to hold.

Softened by the Fire

Walking the earth offers no shortage of challenges. Evenwhen our rational minds understand that a certain amount of turbulence is a natural part of being alive, our bodies and nervous systems may still feel depleted when we encounter everyday struggles. Feeling exhausted after a day filled with ordinary strain,Rebecca reflects on a different way of meeting the friction - one that doesn't require us to brace or hide to stay whole. Rather than fighting to keep every potential chaos out, what if we could learn to loosen around our edges into a softer way of being?   Host: Rebecca Paradiso de Sayu Original Music: Mapumba Cilombo Producers: Rebecca Paradiso de Sayu & Mapumba Cilombo Creative Directors: Rebecca Paradiso de Sayu & MapumbaCilombo To learn more about Rebecca and her work, visit Together inBeauty - togetherinbeauty.com - home to the Liberating Beauty Podcast.

Wellbeing Is Wanting to Be Remembered

As we wrap up our mini-series on the topic of creativity, Rebecca reflects on the lessons shared by her guests. More than anything, there seems to be something in the allowing of creativity - and the openness to receive it - that brings us into contact with the beauty and mystery that is ours to create.  As an expression of her creativity, Rebecca shares a poem about the goodness and the wellbeing that is here for all of us - and that wishes the best for all of us - as we learn our way into the beauty of who we are together.

The Art of Presence

What if presence is the doorway to creativity?  In this week's episode, we continue our Creativity mini-series - exploring how the present moment fuels our most creative lives. In this conversation, Ryan Erisman - a former Marine Infantry Officer, a regenerative farmer, and a leadership coach - recounts his most powerful experiences of presence, moments of wellbeing in a combat zone, and how he’s learning to let go of attachments in the ordinary rhythms of everyday life. Ryan’s story holds practical lessons for each of us as we practice the art of showing up to what's available in the here and now.  Host: Rebecca Paradiso de Sayu Original Music: Mapumba Cilombo Producers: Rebecca Paradiso de Sayu & Mapumba Cilombo Creative Directors: Rebecca Paradiso de Sayu & Mapumba Cilombo To learn more about Rebecca and her work, visit Together in Beauty - togetherinbeauty.com - home to the Liberating Beauty Podcast.

The Prophet’s Messenger

What if we can express our creativity even after we die? What encouragement awaits our creative lives when we open to what we cannot see or know for sure? This week’s episode continues our mini-series on Creativity, one of Beauty's kindred expressions. Rebecca shares a story about her father who, although no longer with us in this physical reality, found a way to message her about releasing what blocks us from living as our most creative selves.  If you’ve ever yearned to express your creative light and wished to feel held and known, this one is for you.  Host: Rebecca Paradiso de Sayu Original Music: Mapumba Cilombo Producers: Rebecca Paradiso de Sayu & Mapumba Cilombo Creative Directors: Rebecca Paradiso de Sayu & Mapumba Cilombo To learn more about Rebecca and her work, visit Together in Beauty - togetherinbeauty.com - home to the Liberating Beauty Podcast.
