Naming the Real

By: Brandon Cook
  • Summary

  • In an era of polarization, confusion, and “fake news,” discerning and naming what is real—what satisfies, what has substance, what is meaningful—is more important than ever. The Naming the Real Podcast is about doing just that: rightly naming the beliefs, attitudes, practices, and behaviors that will help you transcend our cultural anxiety and lead a flourishing life, for the sake of the world.

  • Finding Agency: Cultivating Our Power to Choose (Storytelling Part III: A Conversation with Daphne Larkin and Christy Bauman)
    May 24 2024
    This conversation with Daphne Larkin and Dr. Christy Bauman is an exploration of the importance of knowing and telling our hard stories. Through real life-examples, we survey how telling stories creates greater flexibility in our perspective, resilience in our attitudes, and kindness in how we hold our own narratives, as we become empowered to live well. Ultimately, telling hard stories leads us to re-parent ourselves and re-story our lives, leading not only to our flourishing, but to a flourishing world around us.

  • A NtR Short: Owning the Morning: Writing Your Grounding Story
    May 17 2024

    In this Short, we explore a simple two-step practice for seizing the day rather than letting the day seize you. The practice is straightforward: a commitment to spend a few moments in a slow, unhurried posture combined with a consistent engagement of your “grounding story.” In this episode, we explain what a grounding story is, how to create one, and how you can use it to pursue freedom and clarity every morning.

    May 10 2024

    In this Naming the Real Short—a bonus episode in our Storytelling Series—we explore the idea of “discharging a loyal soldier,” which is releasing a belief/part of us that kept us safe but now keeps us stuck. By thanking the part, releasing the part, and re-assigning the part to a new role, we can transcend the places where we’ve got mired and move to greater flourishing.
