Eleventh Hour

Hello,

What makes you laugh? Do you schadenfreude hard or is your sense of humor more self-deprecating? This episode we're talking about the comedy of misfortune ... then a little about hugelkultur. Don't ask.  

Let's just have a laugh together tonight!

Hey,

Sorry I missed last week. 

This episode, we're talking a little about the struggle to find words when you don't feel like talking followed by a ramble about birds and being lost (don't ask, just listen!) Then we move on to my theory that life is a game of hide and seek and finish with a pep talk about the importance of being your own cheerleader with a moody poem to lull us to sleep. A pinch of this, a bit of that, enjoy this snack-sized podcast episode. 

Thank you for listening.

Can you believe that we're sixteen episodes in and we haven't really talked that much about friendship? For a show called The Night Friend this seems like an oversight.

So, this episode, we're talking about the friends we've had and lost and the two types of friendship and what we expect from our relationships. 

Let's hang out for a while!

Hello,

Why are some people so angry? Are you angry? Why?

Tonight we're breaking down rage in an effort to process our moods better.

A poem by William Blake. A quote from Confucius. Let's talk about our tempers and the consequences of acting without thinking.

Plus, pumpkins and potato pancake recipes ('tis the season after all!)

Hi,

Between us, what gives you the worst anxiety? It's hard at night, when the answer feels like 'everything'.

So tonight, let's talk about coping techniques and shining a light on the shadows in our minds.

And if it's the pursuit of perfection in work and relationships that's keeping you awake, then let's talk about what 'perfection' actually means, because the word might just surprise you.

A bit of this, a bit of that, let's pass a bit of time together while we wait for a new day to start.

Hi,

Do you believe in luck? Do feel lucky or unlucky?

I'm rambling about chance and fortune and how fickle it all is and whether or not it even exists. Do we manifest our own luck or is it genuinely beyond our control?

Then we're talking a bit about numerology and the numbers we always pick and the ones we avoid. 

Have a listen. Have a think. With any luck, you'll have a good night's sleep!

Hey,

Where were you this time last year? Where do you hope to be next year?

This week, we're talking about the passage of time and milestone birthdays and time travel and the earth's journey around the sun. 

Aging is difficult in a world obsessed with youth, but there's a beauty to all ages, like there's a beauty to all seasons. 

So, don't let the passage of time get you down. It's beyond your control. We all have that in common. Together we all hear the clock tick. Let's ignore it together tonight.

Hello,

Tonight, we're talking about death and dying and grief and ghosts. We can't avoid the conversation any longer. Because at night, when we feel lonely and can't sleep, it's hard  to avoid all those morbid moody thoughts. 

Are you afraid to die? Would you live forever if you had the choice? 

Let's spend a bit of our lives tonight talking about death because if there's one thing that connects everyone on this planet - it's that we all become dust sooner or later.

Good evening,

What's on your mind tonight?

My messy closet is keeping me awake and it's got me thinking about minimalism and simplicity and why I own too much stuff. Clutter begets clutter, it's a fact of life!

What's your clutter level? Does mess overwhelm you? Does it easily stress you out?

Sometimes, to get on top of the chaos in our minds, we have to first bring order to the chaos in our lives (and our closets!).

Hello!

How are you doing?

This episode I'm rambling about boulders and Sisyphus (not Syphilis!) and the weight  of addiction. But don't worry, it's not all heavy topics. We're also talking about books and pesto pasta and ice-cream in the bathtub. A little bit of everything about nothing in particular. 

Have a listen. 

Then sleep well!
