If I’ve said it before, I’ve said it a million times. I still feel cheated by the rat race. The American Dream. The big lie. We are born, at least in the USA, dependent on the exchange of labor for money to support the US capitalist system. If we’re lucky we have guardians to support us until we are ‘adults’, but then we have to earn a few thousand dollars a month just to pay…
Improvising is Magic for your Life
You know how they say you gotta give a little to get a little? Trade-offs are like that. In the biological world, organisms make trade-offs daily. Should I run out and grab that rabbit? If I get it I’ll eat, but I could also get eaten by a predator. Or, as it’s related to the Are vs Should Problem or personal growth in general, what scary stuff are you going to have to put up…
Have you ever heard anyone say, ‘it takes a village’? Man, I have. And I wish I understood earlier what they meant. When I was a full time stay-at-home dad, I felt totally isolated. My wife works 50+ hours a week. My parents were too old and far away to help. Her parents were too busy taking care of their other grandchildren. I wasn’t very good at navigating the moms at the playground or at…
You know how some people are able to turn lemons into lemonade? That’s Antia Boyd. And it’s An-Tia, not A-nita. I was so excited to learn about how Antia’s work translates to the Are vs Should Problem. She came so well prepared to talk about her work empowering women to stop chasing the wrong partners. It turns out, her work and her expertise align perfectly with what I am trying to do with the Are…
Do you ever have trouble sleeping? Do you sometimes struggle with what to do next? Analysis paralysis style? How about when you are by yourself in a crowd. Do you feel like you have to pull out your phone? Personally, I have trouble just ‘being’, sometimes. And it’s really kind of funny, because deep down, that’s all I really want. And I think a lot of us are like this. We crave peace. Calm. Even…

Really, what do you NEED? Do you know? I didn’t. This seems like such an innocuous question but it isn’t. It’s really hard to answer sometimes. And, like doing the Values work. And unpacking your Personal Inventory. And generally getting to know what you want out of life. Learning to understand and know what you need is a huge step toward living a calmer and more peaceful life. As we develop the ways to live…
I was so happy Emmanuelle Chasse expressed interest in talking with us about the Are vs Should Problem. She gets it. She’s a podcast, blogger, mindset and weight loss coach, and just a super enlightened individual.

And, if so, this interview is going to benefit you in many ways. Kate Stark teaches parents to feel better about themselves. And this is a very timely and necessary gift.
