Sometimes the hardest problems we face don’t start big — they start small. A tiny habit, a small compromise, or something we decide to ignore “just this once.” Over time, it takes root. The longer we let it grow, the deeper it goes, and the harder it becomes to pull out without leaving a hole behind.

In this episode, I share the story of a hayfield that was left unattended, how a single sapling became a tree, and what that can teach us about our own habits. Whether it’s procrastination, unhealthy routines, or unresolved issues, we’ll talk about how to recognize the little things before they become big things — and how to replace them with habits that truly help us grow.

Have you ever stepped away from something, only to realize later how much you truly loved it—or how much you’ve outgrown it?

In this episode, I explore the surprising truth that sometimes the way forward is found by looking back. Progress and growth are essential, but stepping away from a job, a passion, or even a community can give us the clarity we need. When we return, we often return differently—sometimes with a renewed love, other times with the understanding that we’re meant to move on.

Join me as I share reflections and stories about rediscovering what matters most, learning from where we’ve been, and finding the beauty in choosing our next steps with intention. Grab your coffee! It's time, for Todd Talk! 

"Choose your pace, and your peace."

-Me-

In this episode, I open up about something I’ve been noticing in my own life: how easy it is to rush through the very moments we’ll someday wish we could go back to. Between family, work, and the endless list of responsibilities, I’ve caught myself hurrying through the things that matter most.

I share a few personal stories that reminded me to slow down, be present, and recognize the ordinary moments that are really extraordinary. From quiet farm chores to the chaos of family life, these are the memories that will mean everything one day.

If you’ve been feeling stretched thin or like life is passing by too fast, this episode is for you. My hope is that it helps you pause, breathe, and remember that today is worth noticing—because someday, you’ll miss the moments you’re living right now. Grab your beverage! This, is Todd Talk. 

In this episode, I’m talking about a season that many of us face—but few of us feel comfortable in: the in-between. It’s that place where you’ve closed one chapter but haven’t quite figured out what the next one looks like. Maybe you’re changing careers, reevaluating your priorities, or simply feeling stuck. Whatever the reason, it can feel unsettling when you don’t know what’s next.

I’ll share some thoughts and stories on what it means to live in the “unknown” without rushing through it. Because sometimes, clarity doesn’t come from forcing the next step—it comes from learning how to sit with the questions, listen closely, and trust that something is unfolding even when we can’t see it yet.

If you’re in a season of uncertainty, this conversation is for you. You don’t have to have it all figured out—you just have to stay present, stay honest, and keep showing up.

In this episode, I’m reflecting on the natural rhythm of life—how each of us moves through different seasons: spring, summer, fall, and winter, and how those seasons aren't JUST about the weather. Each one brings its own challenges, growth, rest, and renewal. I believe that when we start to recognize and honor the season we’re in, we can find more peace, purpose, and clarity.

I’ll share some personal stories and insights that have helped me stop resisting change and start leaning into it. If you’ve ever felt stuck, impatient, or unsure about what’s next, I hope this conversation reminds you that you’re not alone—and that every season has something to teach us.

So, grab a cup of coffee, take a deep breath, and join me as we talk about what it means to fully embrace the season you’re in…and prepare for the one that’s coming. It's time, for Todd Talk!

What do overgrown toenails have to do with burnout, emotional health, and personal growth? A lot more than you think.

In this episode, I'll share a funny and oddly profound lesson from my childhood — how a little bit of procrastination (and a pair of tight shoes) led to unnecessary pain… and how that same principle shows up in our adult lives.

From putting off hard conversations to skipping rest when we need it most, we'll explore the small, preventable discomforts that pile up when we ignore our needs.

We all feel it sometimes - the struggle to get going, to clean the house, write the paragraph, study the chapter, send the email, mow the lawn, be happy, be creative, and thousands of other things. That doesn't mean we're broken; it means we're human. And part of being human is taking time to reset, and then taking time to explore the things we can do to bring ourselves back to feeling happy, whole, and productive.
