I had a different topic to discuss when I was invited to (re)consider my approach to the topic. I got a dose of my own medicine as I have a mantra I use with my kids when they’re about to opine on a topic in a potentially disruptive or damaging way. I simply ask them “is it helpful?” As I receive the invitation to reflect on that, I invite you to do the same.

Sometimes we get the feeling like we can’t - or will never - quite live up to those around us, or feel successful. But perhaps it’s because we need to play by a different set of rules...

In the first episode of 2020, let’s take a look at habits. Habits are what help us get and stay on path, heading to our desired destination. We’ll take a few minutes and explore how to replace bad habits with good ones.

My daughter suffered from the same issue that was so famously captured during the Rio summer olympics when Michael Phelps beat Chad le Clos in the butterfly to take gold. 

She looked around at the other swimmers she was racing against. In this episode, I share my advice to her, and how it may just change our lives when we apply it.

Often times, alongside deep grief or pan, we receive a fresh perspective on our lives. We unpack that a bit on this episode.

Life isn't meant to be lived alone, and the best work to be done is too big for just one individual. We need co-conspirators, and this is why...

I recently saw a road sign with an obvious reminder to drivers that they should take turns. Sometimes we need those reminders. And sometimes, we need to serve as those reminders for those around us. More on that topic in this episode.

We explored finding and getting on a path, but now we'll look at staying on a path. We'll have to be mindful, present, and able to make adjustments to do so. Learn more in this episode.

In this episode we'll revisit "the path principle" and make sure that we've done the work necessary to be sure we're on the right path. Not any path will do, so we must make sure we know where we want to arrive. Working with that end in mind will help reveal the path.

In this episode we're reminded that we're all on a path, and asked to examine if the path we're on will lead us to our desired destination.
