For most of his adult life, Chris measured his worth by movement by how much he carried, solved, provided, and held together. In midlife, that pace begins to change, and with it comes a deeper question: who am I if I’m no longer defined by urgency?
In this deeply personal episode, Chris reflects on the identity behind busyness, the quiet link between usefulness and self-worth, and the subtle cost of living slightly ahead of your own life. This is an honest exploration of masculinity, responsibility, ageing, presence, and the shift from proving your value to inhabiting your life.
Through lived stories and a guided reflective practice, listeners are invited to consider a new measure of success one rooted not in productivity, but in aliveness, connection, and care for the future self.
A gentle, grounding companion for anyone who has spent decades moving forward and is now ready to arrive.
