We so frequently hear about and are exposed to the big, wholesale personal change that people take on, especially around the turn of the new year. While it’s an enticing idea, these efforts are frequently not sustainable. In response to this, I discuss some ideas about what are sustainable changes in this episode, which I hope you find to be useful. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast is about how our expectations and past experiences can severely cloud our ability to taste life and to be curious if we do not become aware of it. It’s a concept that really has shaken me to the core, which I hope you can feel and hear in this episode. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

This weekend, I had a lot of good conversations. One of them involved sensitivity and how it can lead to hesitation in authentically sharing what we think and perceive with others. It brought some really insightful points up, so I wanted to take some time to talk through it here. I hope you find it to be insightful as well. It’s a refreshing view that gives me hope. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Religion is something I don’t touch on all too much here in my monologues and conversations. I do spend quality time thinking and talking about it, though. One perspective on it that I really appreciate is Anthony De Mello’s in his book Awareness. I speak about one specific point he makes here in this episode and why it resonates with me. I hope you resonate and find some value in it, too. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast is a new topic for me. I played around with the new OpenAI product, ChatGPT, which is an artificial general intelligence program that can answer any question asked by a user in human-like prose. It’s fascinating to see where the field has come and what this means for the future. It’s a lot to think about, hence why I’m sharing it with you today. Thanks for listening and I hope you found this episode to be a valuable one. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast comes to you on the back of a conversation with a family friend, in which he told me about a colleague’s Facebook post regarding her work as a psychologist. She wrote about how she doesn’t like when people throw their personal matters onto her upon hearing that she is a psychologist. I thought this was a really interesting topics, so I came here to talk through it for a few minutes. I hope you find it to be a valuable reflection. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast is a reflection on the romanticism of the peak moments and the intensity of hard work in action and sport movies like Rocky. Months of hard training, day after day, is often captured in a 4-minute clip. I speak about this at length here, and where I think we should shift the focus of our romanticism. I hope you find it to be a valuable reflection. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast is a short reflection on a portion of a book I really appreciate titled Awareness by Anthony De Mello. It’s so easy to be carried away by our thoughts and emotions, which can lead us to acting impulsively and trying to fix things that we don’t understand. In this episode, I bring De Mello’s perspective on this problem to light, which I find to be a useful frame. I hope you do as well. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast is a couple of quick thoughts that I wanted to share. First, I talk about a new part of my morning routine that has been helpful. Second, I talk about some nuances around the narrative of participation trophies and excessive entitlement making a “softer” generation. I hope you find something here to be helpful or insightful. Thanks so much for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.
