The Best Podcast

Today’s podcast is a reading of my latest article on Substack, titled “The Shadow”, which you can see here: https://open.substack.com/pub/mbest/p/the-shadow . I dive into the concept of the shadow and how engaging with it can help us better understand who we are and become more integrated versions of ourselves. I hope you find it to be an insightful piece.

Today’s podcast reflects on what I used to be super fired up about, lost a bit along the way, and am now finding again as I start the year, but this time with more depth and nuance. These cycles in life are quite beautiful, in my view, which I hope you can perceive in this episode. Life truly offers so much to us. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast is a recording of my latest Substack post, Run, which you can see here: mbest.substack.com/p/run. I’m the article, I talk through my journey to running and what the keys for me were to become a runner. In my post-read reflection, I share some of my thoughts on the way meditation has combined with running for me and the beauty of observing the mind with the body in motion. I hope you find some insights that you can apply in your own life in this episode. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast is a reflection from Gabi and me on our wedding as we officially pass the two-year mark. We talk about what we remember from the day after our wedding, the wedding itself, and how we have changed since then. The conversation then turns to our views on personality growth and how malleable we are, meditation and its power, and Gabi’s “nervous legs” which turned out to be new for me. I hope you enjoy the conversation and find some value in it. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast is a 2-part episode. I start with a little review of the weekend and the good stuff I got out of it, which then peels into a little monologue about the games we play socially and our lack of intimacy. We often perceive significant costs to being intimate with others, which I challenge here, given there are many unseen costs to avoiding intimacy. I hope you find some value in the message. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast starts with a reading of my latest Substack piece, which you can find here: https://mbest.substack.com/p/the-river-of-life . It’s more artistic and poetic than I’m used to writing on this blog, but I felt compelled to write in this way this week, so here I am! After the reading, I share some of my thoughts that go against what I share in the piece, or at least provide more context around it. I hope you find it insightful and applicable. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today marks my 1,500th consecutive day of writing in my journal. When you add it up, I’ve spent the equivalent of over 20 entire days just writing during that period. In this episode, I reflect on what this process has meant to me and what I’ve learned along the way. It has truly become a part of me, which I’m sure you’ll be able to hear in my voice. I hope this leaves you feeling inspired to reflect on your own life in some way, even if it’s not as extensive as writing every day for the rest of eternity. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.
