In this episode, I reflect on a powerful question inspired by my dog, Wally: What makes us feel younger? Wally, at 13 years old, becomes a different dog when we cross certain streets—he moves with newfound energy and excitement. I realized this parallels our own lives: what brings that spark of youthfulness back to us? I explore how freedom, agency, and newness can create that feeling, encouraging you to ask: What does this for me? What makes me feel younger, more alive, invigorated?
In this episode:
✅ Discover how a simple walk with my dog sparked a profound question: What makes me feel younger?
✅ Learn about the three key elements—freedom, agency, and newness—that can bring energy and excitement to your life.
✅ Reflect on your own "Oakland Avenue" moments and find ways to bring more joy and vitality into your everyday routine.
✅ Get inspired to reconnect with activities, people, and experiences that give you that spark.
