I received an inquiry recently, during the No Man Diet program, around the desire to be provided for – and specifically, the desire to be provided for financially. I find that this is a really layered conversation, mostly because as feminists in the 21st...

I tend to view karma through my Zen Buddhist lineage. I was born into a Zen Buddhist community, and grew up around that culture, so most of my thoughts on karma come from that exposure. I also think people throw the word karma around a bit willy-nilly these days, and...

I’ve always hated the phrase, “go big or go home”. Even though it’s often said in an off-the-cuff way, and doesn’t necessarily need to be serious, I find it’s often said with an undercurrent of punishment – as though, if you don’t go ‘big enough’ (whatever that...
