Ever seen a 70-something-year-old man try yoga for the first time—without a single complaint? That’s my dad. He showed up, no hesitation, no excuses—just pure presence. And it got me thinking: What if we all approached life like that?

I’m sharing a chapter from Rants and Ramblings on Life and Wellness about the time my dad joined me for a workout. He was all in, and it was a lesson in self-parenting—reclaiming our bodies, making space for play, and treating ourselves with the kind of care we usually reserve for others.

So let’s talk about showing up for ourselves, no perfection required. Because—spoiler alert—we deserve it.

Key Talking Points of the Episode:

I wanted to share this chapter of my book with you because we don't know what each other is going through.  If  you are struggling  with your mental health and mindfulness, anytime of the year is difficult.  Sadly,  the holidays tend to be even more difficult. 

It's hard to know how to help,  what to do, or how to be there for people around us who might need support, understanding,  and compassion. 

This chapter was written  to help the reader gain more clarity on their thoughts and practices around mental health and mindfulness. 

Rants and Ramblings series is a memoir-style journaling companion for each reader's continued development on self-awareness, self-care, and reflection. 

We can get better at understanding what to do.  We can have more compassion for each other as we learn.  Good Luck with your self-care journey!

Book 1 - On Life and Wellness is available on Amazon.

A big welcome to Amy Oberst (0:27).  Our first guest ever. Amy is a mom (of 2), avid reader, pacific northwester, hiker, skier, and a real high-tech superhero. Amy "home edits" her bosses and global team's administrative life which got us talking to seeing your own superpowers (2:26).

I had forgotten that she had downloaded a copy of Rants + Ramblings On Life and Wellness: A book of general wisdom on topics that make you think outside the box  to her Kindle (14:20).

Wowser, was I surprised and amazed as we started to talk about Amy's experience with my little  book of wisdom stories (16:38).

My first time ever at a TEDx event (1:50).  It was 'everything': a meet up, a show,  and a time for reflection.   After 3 years on "hold" because of pandemic, we met in the Moda Center (where the Trailblazers play). There were ~7000 of us.   I had some premier seating down on the floor and could observe the production (3:14) . I'll let you in on some of the behind the scenes observations that I made.   Let me walk you through moments. I was so close to the set and felt fully immersed. (14:53)

Everything has its origin story! We were all set for a live recording when a technical mishap led to something unexpected—the first episode of the podcast.

In this episode, I keep my word and recap a lively conversation with Kimberly Yvonne Steele, the narrator of Rants & Ramblings, my first short read available on Amazon. We dive into the book launch, the themes behind the series, and a conversation we’re often asked to have—how we perceive ourselves.

Kimberly and I explored what it means to hold space for reflection, identity, and the stories we tell about who we are. Tune in to hear how we navigated this topic and why it matters.

Key Talking Points of the Episode:

 1:34  The Live interview with Kimberly

 4:33  Why I'm I interested in the body as a premise

 5:22 The upcoming parenting book I am working on

 7:15  Random Life Lessons Book

 8:18  How to read the Rants and Rambling since it's dense in terms of ideas
