Music as a Spiritual Practice with Toad the Wet Sprocket's Glen Phillips

Season 8 · Episode 156

lundi 9 juin 2025 • Duration 01:06:40

What do you do when the thing you love—your art, your work, your creativity—starts feeling like a product? When the metrics of success get louder than the pulse of your own heart? In this episode, I sit down with Glen Phillips—lead singer of Toad the Wet Sprocket and a longtime Santa Barbara creative—for a conversation that meanders, deepens, and opens up space for something honest and healing. Glen shares how his music career took off at age 16, how he lost his way chasing the industry’s definition of “enough,” and how he found his way back—through community song, spiritual practice, Tuesday night yoga class, and a kind of effort that doesn’t grind, but flows.

Season 8 · Episode 155

lundi 2 juin 2025 • Duration 01:03:25

Feeling boreout? That restless, understimulated, underinvolved sense that your work—or your life—needs a refresh? Creativity might be the key.

Feeding Your Inner Demons with Lama Tsultrim Allione

Season 4 · Episode 54

lundi 13 février 2023 • Duration 40:54

We all have inner “demons” that we wish we could get rid of such as jealousy, anger, anxiety, addictions, and feelings of not being good enough. What would happen if instead of fighting your demons you asked them what they really need? How can you transform your inner demons into allies? In this out-of-the-box episode, Lama Tulstrim Allione describes the meditation practice of Feeding Your Demons that she adapted 11th-century Tibetan teachings and Dr. Diana Hill bridges the practice with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) processes of being present, acceptance, perspective taking, and self-as-context.

Stay tuned for the bonus episode where Lama Tsultrim Allione will lead you through the full practice!
