Today’s podcast is a discussion about our tendency to caricature reality. Or in other words, to simplify it and make it more simple and easy than what actually exists in reality. I warn us against caricaturing reality here, along with discussing what life could look like if we were to seek a more complete reality beyond these caricatures. It’s a topic that I’ve stewed on a great deal over the last few weeks. I hope you enjoy it and find it to be a valuable message. Thanks so much for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast is the final one of the series with Gabi. This time, we talk about the challenges of making it happen in the long term relationship, or in other words, coming together and building a lasting relationship in person. We touch on ways of thinking about the challenges that lie ahead, along with the reasons for sticking to it and being together. It was a really enjoyable conversation for me. I hope it is for you, too. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast is about being together. Gabi and I first dig into the challenging parts of being together, talking about the unique challenges of being at home and in the other’s home while together. We then discuss the good things about being together, which are a bit more obvious but are nevertheless enjoyable to talk about. I hope you find some value in it and perhaps can take something away from our conversation. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast is my third conversation in a row with Gabi. This one goes into more details about our relationship and what it’s like to be apart. We talk about the good things, the bad things, and the important things to consider when it comes to a long distance relationship. It was a conversation that inspired both laughs and tears. I hope you find the things we share to be meaningful. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast is my second conversation in a row with Gabi. This time, we chatted about a quote from Jordan Peterson about not sacrificing what you are capable of becoming. It’s a conversation in which we talk about Gabi’s personal experiences with self improvement, including the challenges she has faced along the way and what she has learned. I think there is a lot to take home from this one. Thank you for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast marks the first of a series of conversations that Gabi and I will be having together. This first episode was about gratitude and luck. Gabi starts off talking about the things she is grateful for and some personal experiences with gratitude, which then opens into a conversation about luck, optimism, the overwhelming nature of gratitude, and the power of receiving others’ gratitude. It was a lot of fun. I hope you enjoy the conversation and can take something away from it. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast is an explanation of a model of acting / decision making from one of my favorite books - Jonathan Haidt’s The Righteous Mind. It is the model of the rider and the elephant, which I have found to be extremely used and insightful. Perhaps you will too when you hear more about it in this episode. Thanks so much for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast is about struggles that I have experienced with a compulsion to consume. Whether that be social media content, text conversations, podcasts, or YouTube, I’ve noticed that I am mentally pulled toward filling my head with content, which I am trying to work on and change. It’s not easy, but it’s a valuable pursuit in my eyes. Perhaps you’ll relate and try to work on it yourself, too. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

I’ve recently forgotten some key learnings from earlier parts of my life. I’ve also seen more and more instances of people needing to hear things they have previously learned again. There is so much we need to hold in our heads. It can easily become too much at times. This podcast is for those of us who have lost pieces of ourselves and have had to find them again. It’s not an easy life experience, but it’s a meaningful one that has the potential to make us even better. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast is about local community. As we become more and more of a virtually centered society that is not tied to a geographic location, how will this affect local communities? Will our local charities and organizations deteriorate without a stable and consistent population? Will this more virtual world drive a draining of interest from local politics? These are questions I’ve grappled with in today’s episode. I hope you found it to be thought provoking. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.
