  • Episode 926: A Trip Down Economics Lane

    Today’s podcast is an exploration of a very small but significant situation I found myself in this morning. Simply put, I was offered a price and wanted to negotiate. It’s seeming a very basic situation, but it’s often in the most basic of situations that there is a lot to reflect on and consider if you look hard enough, so I share some of my reflections here in this episode. Thanks for listening. I hope you find it interesting and useful in some way. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

  • Episode 921: A Text to a Friend

    Despite how hard it is to see with our eyes on a day to day basis, our friendships play an immense role in our health and longevity. We must take care of them with the same, if not greater, intensity as we do our personal health and hygiene. Our social health is fundamental to a great life. I hope that what I share here inspires you to reflect and pay more attention to this. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

  • Episode 920: Small Decisions Big Impacts

    How easy it is to overlook all the little decisions we make in a day. Our choices our powerful, and those choices appear to us as tiny forks in the road throughout our days, which end up becoming our lives. I share how my day was today and a number of forks in the road that I face that make a difference, which I hope get you thinking and reflecting on how you manage your forks in the road.

  • Episode 919: A Look Into My Consciousness

    Despite wanting to talk about other things today, my mind didn’t allow that to happen. I reflect on that very thing in this episode, talking through how that happens and how consumed by what appears in our consciousness we become, as little of a choice as we may have in what appears there. We are truly so so fascinating. I hope this episode is insightful and valuable to you in some way. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.
