#78: If you’ve ever felt stuck in the rinse-and-repeat cycle of life, this episode is your wake-up call.

Jodi Wellman, author of You Only Die Once and founder of Four Thousand Mondays, joins me for a conversation that’s as deep as it is energizing. We talk about how grief, boredom, and near-death wake-up calls (literal or not) can be the ultimate invitation to actually live your damn life.

We cover:
 — What it means to live like you mean it
 — Why “someday” is a dangerous trap
 — How small joys and everyday novelty can change everything
 — Bucket lists, regrets, and why the Grim Reaper might actually be your BFF

This episode isn’t about fearing death; it’s about using it to spark something real. You only die once. But how many Mondays do you have left? (Seriously. Count them.)
