About The Real Question
In this intimate podcast, we explore how attention can be a tool for living a more intentional life. This season, chaplain Mauricio gently guides guests through the ‘should’ questions of their lives. We ask ourselves ‘should’ questions all the time – Should I start waking up earlier? Should I cut all my hair off? Should I call my mom more? Sometimes we need somebody outside of our lives to help us answer these questions because the stakes feels high, we’ve begun to spiral, and/or we’re just stuck. Every week a guest calls into the show and Mauricio helps them find an answer.
Season one & Two
Vanessa and Casper learned in divinity school about the art of paying attention. In Season 1, they turn that attention to a variety of everyday scenarios in their own lives to see what’s really at stake. In Season 2, Vanessa and Casper bring guests on the show and guide them through the big and small questions in their lives.
season three
In Season 3 of The Real Question, Vanessa helps guests look specifically at questions of quitting. Vanessa has always been a big advocate of quitting – she believes quitting doesn't mean 'giving up,' it means you've tried something and realized that it doesn't work. Every episode, Vanessa asks her guests: What things in your life are worth sticking with? And which things should you be liberating yourself from to live better?
