Adam Smith, MA, Senior Spiritual Wellness Provider at Canyon Ranch Tucson, brings clinical spiritual care training, pastoral care education, and years of experience supporting people through trauma, hospice, loss, and life transitions to the table. In this conversation with David Stewart, he argues that modern life has left many people overstimulated, over-measured, and disconnected from the deeper practices that make a life feel complete. .

Adam explains how choosing uncertainty over worry can create calm, why walking meditation can reconnect us to the body, and how flow state depends more on adaptability than mastery. As you listen, take note of his suggestions for practical language in resilience after 50: less obsession with control, more self-compassion, more presence, and a willingness to trade the spectacular for the nourishing.
