  • Episode 529: A Conversation about Becoming A Better You
    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.

  • Episode 528: A Conversation about Gratitude
    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.

  • Episode 527: A Model of How We Make Decisions
    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.

  • Episode 526: Compulsion
    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.

  • Episode 525: Forgetting What You Know… and Finding It Again
    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.

  • Episode 524: Local Communities
    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.

  • Episode 523: Humility and Action
    Today’s podcast is a discussion about my experiences on both sides of and in the middle of the spectrum of humility and action. These experiences have taught me a lot and continue to teach me more and more as I play along that spectrum. I tried to translate those learnings in this episode, which I hope you find to be valuable and informative. Thanks so much for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

  • Episode 522: Back to Church
    In today’s podcast, I discuss a reflection from my first visit to church in over four years. It was a really cool experience for me which led to some reflections about the connections between religious and non religious activities, which I come to share with you here. I hope you enjoy it and find it to be valuable! As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

  • Episode 521: Consistently Disciplined
    Today’s podcast is about greatness. We all have probably done pretty well with our routines and diets for at least small periods of time in our lives, whether that be for a day or a few weeks. This is a good start, yet it’s not what greatness amounts to. Instead, greatness amounts to maintaining that discipline over long periods of time. Months, years, decades… of which I believe we’re all capable. I share some ideas on how this can be done in this episode, which I hope you consider and perhaps try to put into practice. Thanks so much for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

I’m today’s episode, I check in with her to see how these first few days have been and what she’s looking forward to in the rest of her time here. It was a lot of fun. I hope you enjoy listening to it! As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.
