Voice Note Me

This episode features Tim Fearnside, a quietly luminous writer and deep, generous thinker who I’m happy to call a friend. In this short conversation (which is condensed from a longer live conversation I originally recorded for another podcast, and so not done through voice notes!), we open into who he is, what he’s been writing about, and how he sees this political and civilizational moment. Tim writes and lives from a place of both belief and doubt, hope and despair. At the center of it all, he holds the value of our shared humanity as one of the deepest we can stay tethered to. I loved speaking with Tim about all these things, and I hope you enjoy listening! If you’d like to connect further with Tim, you can find him on Substack at https://substack.com/@timfearnside. (This episode was recorded in January of 2026.) Thank you for joining me!

In this episode, I once again voice note you, the listener, directly, sharing a continued update in what’s been a part of my personal journey the last couple of years - which is much death and rebirth - everything changing. I share some of what’s been meeting me, initiating me, gracefully, messily, into deeper trust and surrender and movement in the often crumbling yet luminous dark. I also share what is one large glimmer of divine rearrangement and new inspiration, a creative vision I know I will follow - to begin shifting my writing focus to include writing plays, first a musical (!), and also to work towards establishing a new theatre in the place where I live, offering theatre as story, portal, lighthouse, and love. I’m marking this moment of genesis that also coincides with an energetic time of many things breaking and falling apart by asking for listener support, in ways ranging from our possibly exploring working together professionally on a book project or coaching, which helps fund my ability to follow such creative visions, to considering becoming an active supporter as a theatre patron, investor, contributor, or potential collaborator. I end the episode by touching briefly on the astrology of the last two years as it connects to the journey I’ve shared. You may see pieces of your own shifting life in some of these astrological flashpoints I reference, and I’ll plan to open the astrology up more generally in another episode, where I explain how you can consider it through the lens of your own astrological chart. Thank you for being part of the small community listening in as I offer these pieces of heart.

In this episode, I try something new—voice noting you, the listener. I share about one texture of one layer of life that I’m in now, that is both deep realignment of energy and deep initiation, as I trust and follow my intuition and divine call through a new destined dark. I also share a recent poem, a guided imagining, a few notes of this Scorpio season, and an invitation for you to send a voice note back to me, if you’d like. I’d love to hear what this episode brings up for you, and what textures and thresholds you’re feeling into yourself in this large precipice of time.I really enjoyed sharing a love letter of sorts in this way, and I hope you enjoy listening. :)Thank you for joining me!

In this episode, I spoke with Martha Williams, who is a writer and the director of programs and education at The Community Library in Ketchum, Idaho. Martha and I met in the context of her work with The Community Library’s Ernest Hemingway legacy initiatives, and I was immediately struck with her grounded, deep presence. In this multi-week conversation, I was able to get to know her more and see further textures of presence, as we talked of her work, her writing, and her beloved walks through the woods; as we talked of poetry, community, this precipice of time, and the gift of allowing space—around ourselves as well as the civilization-defining questions we’ll be living into in the coming decades. I loved listening to Martha's spacious reflections, and I hope they meet you too with much goodness. To learn more about the programs Martha helps facilitate at The Community Library, you can visit https://comlib.org/programs/. And you can read the poem she reflects on—“Spring,” by Mary Oliver—here: https://www.poetry-chaikhana.com/blog/2021/02/26/mary-oliver-spring/.Thank you for joining me!

In this episode, I had the joy of being in conversation with a close friend, Sarah Keck. Sarah is the co-owner of Common Ground, a coffeeshop that is such generous outflow of community and love, it’s hard for me to convey in words. But in short: she and her business partner have built something magical, and I know there is room for us to learn from her here. Sarah brings her magic to both outer and inner life, and she also brought it to this conversation, which we began in the last days of bright-dark December.This episode holds such different energy than the first, and I love the emerging tapestry of all this show will hold. I also love that Sarah took us deep into the territory of softness, which calls to me loudly, gently. I hope you enjoy listening, and discovering one more beautiful soul in this wide world. Thank you for joining me!

In this first episode, I voice note with Jacob Nordby, a writer, creative guide, entrepreneur, and co-founder of A Writing Room, with Anne Lamott. He met me in this new adventure with such thoughtful, generous spirit as he shared pieces of self and his practice of becoming.
