The Best Podcast

Today’s podcast begins with a quote from one of my favorite books - Awareness by Anthony De Mello. It’s such a fun and eye opening read, which is why I wanted to discuss a paragraph from it today in this episode. I hope that you enjoy it and find the message to be valuable. Thank you for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast comes off of two conversations I had today with two good friends. One involved a conversational technique and the other the reconciliation between our rational and emotional desires. Conversations like these seem to clarify key pieces of knowledge that I have acquired, so I wanted to take these two and talk about them here. I hope you enjoy it and find it to be valuable. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

I’ve been ruminating on a thought over the last couple of weeks that has really grabbed me. The social dynamics and hierarchies that I established in my mind when I was younger seem to persist in my mind and in my interactions with people I had closer contact with many years ago, even though I’ve drastically grown and changed as a person since then. I unconsciously default into certain feelings and reactions instead of acting independently as the most updated version of myself. It is a bit challenging to fully explain, but I think I do a good job in this episode of doing that. I hope that you can make sense of it and that it serves as a valuable reflection for you. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Earlier this week, I returned home on a train from New York. A stranger sat next to me and made a comment on a book I was reading, which led to a couple of ours of conversation that opened my eyes to some new perspectives. These interactions seem hard to come by, yet they can be so interesting and insightful. We learn, they learn, and we share in our collective humanity. It’s something I wish we did more of, which is why I share with you this episode. I hope you enjoy it and find it to be interesting. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast is an audio message I sent to a friend the other day when he asked my what makes me sure about committing to Gabi at this young of an age. It’s a great question, as many people in my age group find themselves asking the same thing. Thus, I wanted to share it with you, as perhaps you find yourself in a similar situation. I hope you enjoy it and find it to be a valuable reflection. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast is a stream of consciousness, trying to translate what I’m feeling into words. Endings are never easy, but there is plenty to feel and to learn from in them. That’s what this is about. Perhaps you can feel the feelings through these words. I certainly hope so. I’ll be back on the other side for a new chapter. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast comes on the back of the start of a big new chapter: wedding planning. It’s a new adventure, and it led me to reflect on some of the most meaningful pieces of knowledge I’ve encountered so far in my life. I talk all of that and more here, which I hope you enjoy and find to be a valuable reflection. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast continues on a similar tangent to a recent episode on non-conversational politics. It’s quite easy to stay in our own heads, follow our baseline intuitions, and to believe what makes sense to us in the moment. I pose an exercise that will challenge this process and instead introduce one that can open our eyes to what we’re missing when we follow this easier path. I hope you enjoy it and find it to be interesting and useful. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast is a big life update. On August 27th, Gabi and I got engaged. It was a special moment that served as a culmination of all we’ve been through and all that is to come. I pay homage to all that and more here. I hope you enjoy it and find it to be meaningful in some way. I appreciate you taking the time to listen. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast comes to you from a slew of emotional challenges I faced and reflected on today. Life isn’t all sunshine and rainbows, as we all know. It has plenty to teach us, and sometimes those teachings don’t feel all too good when they’re being taught. These emotions do pass, fortunately, but it’s important for us to reflect and to take the learnings that accompany these emotions seriously enough to change and to grow. Hopefully that message comes across in this episode. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.
