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 // – No Cure for Being Human by Kate Bowler – Kate Bowler on Annie Down’s podcast – Building a Resilient Life by Rebekah Lyons – Try Softer by Aundi Kolber // Connect with Us // — Subscribe to the Cultivate What Matters Podcast: on iOS, go to our iTunes page and click subscribe.

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.

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.

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. We hope this episode encourages you as you wait on progress, on achieved goals, and on the legacy you’re living! //Time Stamps// 00:00: Welcome 04:03: What Casey is loving 07:48: What Kelley is loving 10:05: Start of this pep talk 13:51: A big part of the process is waiting 14:54: Let’s take a step back together for a minute 17:59: An example of looking at the bigger picture 21:53: Can you imagine being a good waiter? 23:24: A few steps to learn to wait well 28:27: Closing thoughts // Resources Mentioned in this Episode // – Tello and Rose – Jones Road Beauty Lip Tint – Derek Kinney on Instagram // Connect with Us // — Subscribe to the Cultivate What Matters Podcast: on iOS, go to our iTunes page and click subscribe.
