  • Episode 359: Changing Your Past
    A few weeks ago, I heard a wonderful quote from a psychologist named Lisa Feldman Barrett. She said, “You can’t change your past, but you can change your present, which becomes your past.” This quote really moved me, so I wanted to take some time to discuss it here and share it with you. Perhaps it will have as much of an impact on you as it did for me. Thanks for tuning in! As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

  • Episode 358: Other People’s Opinions
    Humans have struggled with valuing their own opinions of themselves over the opinions of others for millennia. While we have advanced on societal and individuals levels in so many ways, we have not evolved in others. In today’s podcast, I elaborate on why I think that this is a fundamental area in which we have not yet evolved but could tremendously benefit from improving. I hope you find this maneuvering discussion to be valuable and intriguing. It was a fun topic to explore for me. As always, thanks so much for listening. It means so much to me. Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

  • Episode 357: Running A Half-Marathon
    Today’s podcast is a description of my half marathon run yesterday. It was an incredibly impactful experience for me, both physically and mentally.

Thanks for tuning in as always. I really cannot thank you enough for your time and attention. Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

  • Episode 356: Happen to Life
    Today’s podcast is a reflection on and expansion of a quote that I recorded to myself over just over two years ago, in which I told myself to be conscious of the end of life and to make the most of what is in my hands. Many times, we feel like life is happening to us and that there’s not much we can do about it. I get it. That feeling is real and pervasive. It’s tough to overcome, too. Yet I encourage you to try to see it in a different light, which I invite you to observe here. I hope you find it to be valuable and meaningful. Thanks for tuning in. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

  • Episode 355: Lessons from Driving in Silence
    Today’s podcast stems from my experience driving back to my apartment, in which I decided to spend the first part of my drive without listening to anything. Although it may seem trivial, deciding to just sit with myself and my thoughts as I drove was a very positive experience. I recommend it to you in this episode and I hope rang you find the reasons why to be interesting and thought provoking. As always, your attention and listenership means a lot to me. I cannot thank you enough for that. Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

  • Episode 354: Press Pause
    Our feelings can bring us to many different thoughts and actions. They can drive us to tears and elation, along with moving us to action and inaction. However, perhaps pressing pause and sitting with it could teach us something. Perhaps it could help us to better know ourselves and what the sensations we experience actually feel like and mean. I discuss this idea at length in today’s podcast and I hope you find it to be a valuable discussion. Thank you so much for tuning in. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

  • Episode 353: Our Toolbox
    Today’s podcast is a discussion about our toolbox for life and the processes in which we can improve the quality of those tools. It’s a discussion that is critical for life in my estimation, which I hope you thoroughly enjoy and find meaningful. As always, thanks so much for listening. It means a lot to me. Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

  • Episode 352: It’s Probably More Complicated Than You Think
    Today’s podcast comes on the back of a lot of reflection and deep thinking this week. In order to make sense of our world, we often simplify things so that we can feel confident of the way we’re processing what happens both inside and outside of us. However, I think this is a bit of an illusion. In this episode, I hash out this thought and dive deep into why it’s probably more complicated than we think. I hope you enjoy it and find this reflection to be valuable. Thanks so much for tuning in. It sincerely means so much to me. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

  • Episode 351: Saying the Same Things, Over and Over Again
    Today’s podcast is a repetition of a message which I’ve found myself voicing frequently on the podcast over the last few months. I don’t want to say much here in the description, as I’d prefer you to listen to get the whole message (yet again). I hope you find it valuable and that it sinks in for you. Thanks so much for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

  • Episode 350: A Sad Guy in a Nice Car
    Today’s podcast is a brief one, but I hope it’s powerful. I read some lyrics from a song called “Conversations with Myself” by Bazzi. At the end of the song, he says something that’s quite profound which I feel is relevant to share with you here. I hope the message resonates and means something to you as it does for me. Thanks so much for your attention. I do not take it lightly. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.
