Real Talk. with John Rudnicki

On this week's episode, I bring on one of my newly reconnected friends, Ethan Grush, in which we address introspection as a whole and his own experiences with it. 

In particular, we talk about "lighting your own torch" and how it is your job and nobody else's to begin processing experiences, insecurities, failures, and successes in a more self aware way. 

I'm sure all of you have had a memorable experience in which feelings and worries about where you are in your life, what you stand for, and how you hold yourself are triggered and prompt deeper thought. Well, at this moment your torch has been lit and the fire set ablaze, granting you the opportunity to look deeper within.

Throughout the episode, Ethan and I share our own struggles with awakening to unexpected and more complex thinking while also providing some practical strategies to move more smoothly through these confusing and sometimes overwhelming times.

For the first episode ever, I am so excited to introduce myself and one of my dearest friends, Sam Smith from the University of Washington. 

When it comes to a bad relationship, a friend that doesn't serve you anymore, a difficult experience like missing the game winning shot of a game or not getting into your dream school, letting go is what everyone tells you to do. They expect you to have it all figured out when actually, you most likely don't. That is normal and ok.

On this episode, Sam Smith and I have a real conversation about his experience with letting go and the difficulties he faces on a day to day basis regarding the loss of important people in his life and the expectations of others. As young people trying to navigate the world, we are just trying to find our way and ourselves in the process. So cut yourself some slack if you don't have it all figured out. You're not supposed to!!

I hope you enjoy the episode!
