FINE is a 4-Letter Word
491 episodes - English - Latest episode: 8 days ago - ★★★★★ - 23 ratingsWasn’t it just a couple years ago you were sitting on the beach at spring break in Ft. Lauderdale – listening to the Pet Shop Boys, U2, and Def Leppard - with your entire life ahead of you? Now you’re looking back 30 plus years and wondering what the hell happened.
Not that it’s been all bad. Of course, there’ve been highs and lows. And today, everything’s fine. It’s just fine. That’s the problem. You don’t really feel like you have anything to complain about. Lots of people might envy what you have. But you’re feeling a deep undercurrent of suck. Like, there must be something more. And you don’t know what to do about it.
Welcome to Fine is a 4-Letter Word, with host Lori Saitz. Each week, you'll hear inspiring stories of self-discovery and courage from people who have said F*ck Being Fine and have transformed their lives and businesses. Plus, get practical tips and takeaways to move you from spinning in place - to forward action - so you can create a life of joy.
None of us knows how much time we have here. So we have to make the most of it. We have to do the things that light us up and bring us joy.
This show will give you hope, help you find your passion and purpose, and dare you to see the life that’s waiting for you. You’ll never hear - or say - the word “fine” in the same way again.

5. (S1E5) Meditation: Patience
May 27, 2021 14:00 - 10 minutes - 11.8 MBIn this meditation, we’re focusing on patience.

May 27, 2021 09:00 - 31 minutes - 71.6 MBToday I’m talking with Caren Cooper about conformity, losing your identity, letting fear drive your decisions, and self-sabotage.
