Rooted & Wild · 4 ноября 2026 г. · 33 мин
What happens when we ask the universe for something? A candle on a birthday cake. A falling star. A quiet hope we’ve never spoken aloud. Wishing is woven into the human experience—a way of imagining something beyond our present circumstances. But what turns a passing wish into a meaningful possibility? And how might the way we express our desires influence what we notice, the choices we make, and the opportunities we pursue? In this episode of Rooted & Wild, Henry Hawk welcomes Brownell Landrum for a conversation about The Art & Science of Wishing: What Happens When We Ask the Universe? Together, they explore the relationship between wishing, intention, and action, bringing curiosity to the space where scientific inquiry and spiritual possibility meet. Brownell is a storyteller, TEDx speaker, and author of over a dozen books, including The Art & Science of Wishing . With an MBA and a background in corporate business and entrepreneurship, she combines an analytical mind with a longstanding interest in metaphysical mysteries. Her curiosity about the sciences involved in wishing emerged while writing her novel, A Love Story to the Universe , and also informs her show, Cosmic Wishes , where she helps guests explore and develop their wishes. In this conversation, we explore: • What distinguishes a wish from a goal, an intention, or a prayer • The science Brownell draws upon in her approach to wishing • How attention and perception may influence the possibilities we recognize • Discovering what we truly want beneath other people’s expectations • The process of turning a personal wish into a “Cosmic Wish” • Balancing a clear desire with openness to unexpected outcomes • The relationship between wishing and taking action • Meeting unfulfilled wishes with curiosity and compassion A conversation about giving our hopes a voice—and considering what might change when we allow ourselves to imagine a different future.
