  • 361 | Taking Stock of Non-Negotiables

    361 | Taking Stock of Non-Negotiables

    Taking stock of your life is like making an investment: you invest a small amount and, over time, there’s a compound effect on that investment. The investment you’re making is in yourself by creating and sticking to your non-negotiables.

    There are still so many things in our lives that are out of our control. And in times like this, it’s important to look at what we can control, what’s really important to us, and make those non-negotiable. So, let’s talk about some non-negotiables that everyone should consider and how to protect them in your life.

    360 | Opening Your Heart to Animal Rights & Rescue | with Calvin “Black Noah” Tucker

    Calvin Tucker goes by “Black Noah” on Instagram, a moniker he adopted after becoming a huge animal rescuer and advocate. He owns four rescue cats, helps feed a hundred cats every week, has TNRed (Trap-Neuter-Return) over 650 cats, and found homes for over 140 cats.

    You wouldn’t guess it from that bio, but growing up, Calvin always hated cats. Then, one day after leaving work, he found a little grey kitten sitting by his car and something inside of him changed. That cat was Henry, the first of four kittens that Calvin would wind up adopting and the reason for everything he does today.

    He talks about colony management of feral cats, a day in his life, and how you can support animal rescue efforts.

    358 | The Body Remembers

    The body remembers… even when the mind forgets.

    We have the ability to hone in on our connection between our feelings and our sensations to help us connect the past to the present. Our body carries with it so many thoughts and feelings, both unheard and unknown. But if we fine tune our connection with our sense of self we can learn to become better at feeling our feelings — without being captive to them.
