Podcast

Threshold Moments is a podcast about people who follow their hearts to lead their most authentic lives. Along the way they cross over some thresholds in which it is clear that what once worked, no longer works. The next version is awaiting. The path is unknown, and safety structures fall away.

Once a week, you can expect to hear from incredible guests about the moments that forever changed them. They’ll share their messy middles, the things they can now laugh at in retrospect, the lessons they’ve learned along the way, and the freedom they’ve found by following the pull.

About Threshold Moments

You’ll hear about a variety of navigation tools:

No matter the tools, threshold moments tend to be ripe with heartbreak, excitement, fear, and possibility. Therefore this podcast is also about companionship, because being accompanied and witnessed on the way through can be the most essential layer of support our nervous system and psyches can receive during a time of uncertainty and reclamation.

I started this podcast because I deeply honor the full cycle of transformation, not just the sparkly ends. I think it’s inspiring. And, it lets us know we’re not alone on this journey home.

My hope is that you will feel that in your bones: You. Are. Not. Alone. You are in great company.

Today I’m inviting you into maple season, exploring the symbolism of tapping the trees and the embodied feeling of hope that it gives me.

Welcome back to season two of Threshold Moments. Today I’m joined by author, Yoga Medicine teacher, multi-sport athletic coach, and World Record Holder, Kirsten Beverley-Waters.

Our conversation spans topics from gender to athleticism to endurance to social justice. And at it’s core, I think it’s about the ways that small steps make a big difference over time — both in finding our innermost selves and in straying farther from who we truly are.

Kirsten also shares their process of claiming themselves as non-binary and what that did for them as they went into a 100-mile race.

Tune in to learn how a run of any distance or decision of any size can radically change your life when paired with a deeper intention. I hope you’ll listen and enjoy.
