Grounded Series Episode - Guest Nick Wolfe

Peter invites Mr. Wolfe to share struggles and what lessons they have held for him. From homesteading to child rearing, and attacks of anxiety among all stops along the way. Wolfe has a wealth of interesting insights and approaches to all things mindset.

If you're new to the show, we (Peter and Todd) mix in our own struggle experiences into a mosaic of messiness, weaving in direction and depth.

Habits. What they are, where they come from, and how we can impliment new ones in our lives. Leveraging four steps from James Clear's guidance, Peter uses Todd as a subject, in real time to vet and explore the steps. Todd's topic is trash (literally), rather taking the trash to the road for pickup. How we speak to ourselves, the way we identify as something, this is the first step. As the other steps unfold, so too does our conversation within the context of our respective lives and how our habits evolve as well as other around us.

Full of tactical tips about starting, stopping, and replacing habits.
