105: Book Review of No Cure for Being Human by Kate Bowler

In today’s episode, we review the book No Cure for Being Human by Kate Bowler. So many of us here have reading goals, so we review a book together once a quarter to help us make progress on our reading goals, read together in community, and learn from great books. Through this book review, we explore the depths of Kate’s learnings as she discovers she has cancer. We review some of our favorite quotes, things we learned and will take away, and applications from this book with all of you. This book was a heavy one, but truly, it instilled what we know already to be true. We are living for a capital L legacy, and our days are numbered. So what we decide to cultivate matters deeply, so live your one beautiful and precious life today, friends.    //Time Stamps// 00:00:  Welcome 00:34:  What Casey is loving  01:19:  What Kelley is loving  05:45:  Intro to the book this quarter  09:55:  Our favorite takeaways from the book  10:49:  What if the world no longer holds possibility?  14:06:  Guilted into being grateful  17:50:  I have this illusion I’m in control of my life 20:00:  The predicament of living   22:24:  Your choices in this life matter  29:25:  Overall book review  29:50:  Closing thoughts    // Resources Mentioned in this Episode // – <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/No-Cure-Being-Human-Truths/dp/0593230779">No Cure for Being Human by Kate Bowler </a> – <a href= "https://www.anniefdowns.com/podcast/episode-329-kate-bowler-no-cure-for-being-human/"> Kate Bowler on Annie Down’s podcast </a> – <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Building-Resilient-Life-Adversity-Strength/dp/0310365392/ref=sr_1_1?crid=11Z7825I8RUAR&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.ISsoBSQxU8LI_lVepIQRv9dvb5LwuwXC1Rkn5CQa9eorWF_l02qRsODM4tNOrLeoEFl1qXTURPZSHCKrqPCduaGbs3JQxZb_YhxSxcQjiMQr4CTdK9UmbfNiLbyXml0CvF0bNFWUvBQwgih6eE0pes3EfcweCSw2QrAJHCeZ2YhpoIDeLd74AuFsvh5stsgQp2pUNd25byIviTPERVe8JcXPAf_OKJ9TFZopmvL4S9Y.j3bf5uxCotaHsQGJszRmcGF6p1FkPYPRbiCv71PQPdQ&dib_tag=se&keywords=building+a+resilient+life&qid=1707865043&s=books&sprefix=building+a+resilient+life%2Cstripbooks%2C82&sr=1-1"> Building a Resilient Life by Rebekah Lyons </a> – <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Try-Softer-Approach-Mode-Connection/dp/1496439651/ref=asc_df_1496439651/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=560440526833&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=7952503928185259467&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9013454&hvtargid=pla-870323711187&psc=1&mcid=569370edb528343da96cc90c32df991a&gclid=CjwKCAiA_tuuBhAUEiwAvxkgTpo7CXc_Hx50lsNbEUq-saOe2HffasBkTLs5Sfuy2-CFbObQO7YgqxoC8ZsQAvD_BwE"> Try Softer by Aundi Kolber</a>      // Connect with Us // — Subscribe to the Cultivate What Matters Podcast: on iOS, go to our iTunes page and click subscribe.

In today’s episode, Kelley and Casey are in a slump and talk about how to navigate it. We discuss what it’s like when we have no momentum, are in a weird tough season, or aren’t seeing much progress on our goals. Been there? You too? Join us as we talk about the solemn reality of being in a slump and as we have some laughs along the way too.

103: How to Cultivate Friendships - Part 2

In today’s episode, Kelley and Casey complete part 2 of How to Cultivate Friendships. Not often talked about in friendships, we talk about texting, ghosting, and hard conversations. At their core, we’d enter into deeper friendships and foster greater connection if we’d focus on communicating more clearly, being willing to go beyond the surface level, and being willing to have hard conversations. We share personal examples and stories in our lives that have been challenging yet refining in the way we approach friendship. Friendship is a part of a rich and beautiful life, and it’s so worthwhile to cultivate!    //Time Stamps// 00:00:  Welcome 01:54:  What Casey is loving 03:30:  What Kelley is loving  06:09:  Episode intro - ghosting, communicating, texting, and more!   08:44:  Be a clear communicator  16:21:  Hey, send up a flare.

102: How to Cultivate Friendships - Part 1

In today’s episode, Kelley and Casey wanted to talk about connection since we’re so close to Valentine’s Day. So we decided to talk about what every person needs in their lives, whether you’re in a relationship or not – friendship!! Having a place to belong and people to connect with are crucial to our health, well-being, and growth as individuals. We can’t go it alone. We explore the staggering statistics behind depression, suicide, and being “together but apart” in our technology driven society. It can be a lonely world, but it doesn’t have to be. We explore a few easy ways to foster connection and grow friendships (new or old) in our lives. Having friends by our side is what makes life so meaningful and worthwhile, so let’s cultivate friendships together for a more purposeful life lived together!    //Time Stamps// 00:00:  Welcome 00:25:  What Casey is loving 03:43:  What Kelley is loving  04:55:  Digging into the meat of the episode 05:38:  Together but apart 07:25:  Epidemic of loneliness  08:02:  Belonging is a basic human need!  11:31:  We know making & keeping friends can be hard  12:30:  4 easy, low energy ways to build connection & grow friendships 23:28:  Closing thoughts      // Resources Mentioned in this Episode // – <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Try-Softer-Approach-Mode-Connection/dp/1496439651/ref=asc_df_1496439651/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=560440526833&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=13633377309714050520&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9013458&hvtargid=pla-870323711187&psc=1&mcid=569370edb528343da96cc90c32df991a&gclid=CjwKCAiAq4KuBhA6EiwArMAw1OyFn19L_PjegmyZsxZyUO8L4vuyLffBNp_HiQtTATaXoUaA6oik7BoCN2oQAvD_BwE"> Try Softer by Aundi Kolber</a> – <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Body-Keeps-Score-Healing-Trauma/dp/0143127748/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1BS9OHDJYQY6A&keywords=the+body+keeps+the+score&qid=1707168570&s=books&sprefix=the+body+keeps+the+%2Cstripbooks%2C81&sr=1-1"> The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk M.D. </a> – <a href= "https://www.etsy.com/listing/1390567583/hand-lettering-workbook-lettering-combos?gpla=1&gao=1&&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=shopping_us_-art_and_collectibles&utm_custom1=_k_CjwKCAiAq4KuBhA6EiwArMAw1IvUt9LB9TDEk9KGiIANz-DgcC735-up90rSxDBOXg7QK2g4tpyZiBoCCEkQAvD_BwE_k_&utm_content=go_12665398257_121762925993_511610210343_pla-314954651933_c__1390567583_144722946&utm_custom2=12665398257&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAq4KuBhA6EiwArMAw1IvUt9LB9TDEk9KGiIANz-DgcC735-up90rSxDBOXg7QK2g4tpyZiBoCCEkQAvD_BwE"> Hand Lettering Worksheets from Etsy</a> – <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/How-Win-Friends-Influence-People/dp/0671027034/ref=sr_1_1?crid=P4BA7KJ97FT1&keywords=how+to+win+friends+and+influence+people&qid=1707169909&s=books&sprefix=how+to+win+friends+and+influence+people%2Cstripbooks%2C83&sr=1-1"> How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie </a> – <a href= "https://emformarvelous.com/how-to-host-a-book-swap/">How to Host a Book Swap</a>   // Connect with Us // — Subscribe to the Cultivate What Matters Podcast: on iOS, go to our iTunes page and click subscribe.

101: Waiting Well | How to Learn to Love the Process

In today’s episode, Kelley and Casey share a pep talk with you. About this time of the year, discouragement sets in. Doubts and questions of why we aren’t making more progress by now swirl in our heads. We offer a pep talk about waiting in the process of goal setting, how it’s key to our growth, and how it actually becomes a beautiful part of changing and shaping us for the capital L legacy we want to leave when we’re 80. Waiting isn’t always easy, but it’s a part of the journey of our lives.

In today’s episode, Kelley and Casey kick off the 5th and final episode in the Building Better Goals series featuring big dreams. Big dream goals can be daunting and overwhelming, and many might say, “where do I even start?” We break down what it is, what it’s comprised of, and why you should set and pursue big dream goals in your life. Sometimes, various feelings can also mean we’ve pushed big dreams aside, and we want to encourage you to revisit those big dreams with hope not fear.

092: Book Review of The 12 Week Year

In today’s episode, Kelley and Casey review The 12 Week Year by Brian P. Moran and Michael Lennington. This book talks about how we’ve all been doing planning for our personal and professional lives wrong – we’ve got to stop thinking in 1 year periods and switch to 12 weeks. Shorter periods of time allow us to drive urgency to accomplish our goals, see results quicker, celebrate more often, execute on an effective plan, and steward our time WAY more strategically. We share our favorite nuggets, how we’d use it in our own lives, and how we’d rate it and recommend it to others. Thanks for listening to this quarter’s book review!  //Time Stamps// 00:00:  Welcome 02:00:  What Casey is loving 04:09:  What Kelley is loving 07:42:  The premise of The 12 Week Year 10:54:  You have to measure the execution!  11:50:  Our favorite nuggets  12:00:  Commitments are different from interests.  13:03:  A new take on weekly planning  13:52:  Life is intentionally unbalanced  15:21:  Accountability is ownership of your life.   16:09:  How we’d apply & implement these learnings  20:41:  How we’d rate the book   21:13:  Greatness is made in the small moments.  23:06:  85% execution is the secret!  24:44:  Final thoughts     // Resources Mentioned in this Episode // — [Macro Friendly Foods] (https://macrofriendlyfood.com/) — [Lillie Eats and Tells] (https://lillieeatsandtells.com/) — <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Premium-Felt-Tip-Pen-Assorted/dp/B00HH32BH8?th=1"> Stabilo 68 Pen</a> — <a href= "https://cultivatewhatmatters.com/collections/2024-powersheets-2">PowerSheets Intentional Goal Planner </a> — <a href= "https://cultivatewhatmatters.com/products/blooms-pen-set?_pos=1&_sid=e0e507771&_ss=r"> Blooms Pen Set</a> — <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/groups/PowerSheetsGroup">PowerSheets Facebook Group</a>  — <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/12-Week-Year-Others-Months/dp/B08DFFS7K8/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3P3FA66B5LZCC&keywords=the+12+week+year&qid=1701267509&s=books&sprefix=the+12+week+year%2Cstripbooks%2C92&sr=1-1"> The 12 Week Year </a> — <a href= "https://www.audible.com/pd/The-4-Hour-Workweek-Escape-9-5-Live-Anywhere-and-Join-the-New-Rich-Expanded-and-Updated-Audiobook/B0031AS3BE?source_code=GPAGBSH0508140001&ipRedirectOverride=true&gclid=Cj0KCQiA35urBhDCARIsAOU7QwlzdchWA9QnuVwqBxhfvCSYUKCbNLh39K82DHiR7jYfxRfr4z28Z84aAtYmEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds"> The 4 Hour Workweek</a>   // Connect with Us // — Subscribe to the Cultivate What Matters Podcast: on iOS, go to our iTunes page and click subscribe.

090: Savor the Season: How to Live Grateful

In today’s episode, we’re talking about the everyday realities of living in a broken world. Our minds can also become conformed to think negatively and reject any thankfulness. Packed with Scripture, we shed light on how we can change the lens we view life with because of Christ and what He did for us. With gratitude, it can change everything. With a couple of practical examples that are science backed, we hope you can begin practicing gratitude in your everyday life, not just during Thanksgiving. Know that we’re so grateful for you!    //Time Stamps// 00:00:  Welcome & happy Thanksgiving!  04:26:  What Casey is loving  08:57:  What Kelley is loving  10:34:  Do you decorate before or after Thanksgiving?  12:23:  What we grieve in this life  16:45:  May we savor today   18:48:  It starts with our mindsets  23:32:  A few ways to practice gratitude & the science & facts  32:33:   Recap      // Resources Mentioned in this Episode // - [The Built Bar ] (https://built.com/) -<a href= "https://built.com/collections/built-puffs">The Built Puff Bars</a>  -<a href= "https://www.lush.com/uk/en/p/candy-cane-bubble-bar">Candy Cane Bubble Bar from Lush</a> -<a href= "https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gRaTDTxhjbxl4JCeryvvnnAy79tFtOUo/view?pli=1">Gratitude Prompts </a>   // Products Mentioned in this Episode // -<a href= "https://cultivatewhatmatters.com/collections/2024-powersheets-2">PowerSheets Intentional Goal Planner</a> - <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/groups/PowerSheetsGroup">PowerSheets Facebook Group</a>  -<a href= "https://cultivatewhatmatters.com/products/gratitude-journal?_pos=1&_sid=7b48a2524&_ss=r">Gratitude Journal </a>   // Connect with Us // — Subscribe to the Cultivate What Matters Podcast: on iOS, go to our iTunes page and click subscribe.

We hope this episode helps you go from feeling paralyzed or shell shocked and at a standstill to feeling confident in your decisions to start, stop, or go slower on finishing up your goals for this year. In 3 simple steps, we give you an outline on how to approach whatever remains on your to-do list for the year.
