Your Fellow Human

Do you remember a time when someone made you feel worth showing up for?

What about a time when you sat with a friend and simply listened to what they needed to share?

Today I want to introduce you to Joffrey, someone who has both been impacted and chooses to impact others by absorbing what they need to share and understanding what our actions say when we show up

We talk about the fear of losing our ability to be ourselves, how disease can come for us and we can't hold it back, and how that impacts how we approach our days. We talk about the importance of community and the way we get to learn about things completely new to us simply from talking to a stranger. 

He shares what it's like being humbled by his kids, but also how their words can also be the highest compliment and affirmation. We talk about the struggle of comparison and how it comes for each of us, how addiction rips through so many and steals so much life from those in it and around it, and why it's so ok and so important to ask for help in every area of life

Joffrey is one that values directness and carries that value with him in a gentle way, he is one that values the joy found in life daily and how that joy can't be shaken in the way happiness can, he is one that isn't afraid to experience life and has a hope for others to do the same; to go for a walk, give someone a high five, or do something new

So tune in today and meet Joffrey, a teacher in a professional sense but more importantly in a humanity sort of way, I know you will walk away from this episode learning something new about what life has for you

And to you Joffrey thank you, thank you for the chance to share a part of who you are with others, for your fun and open spirit, for the way you choose to approach life and people with a student like heart to learn from and absorb what each moment has to offer, you are a genuine soul and it's an honor to know you my friend.

What would the world look like if we never doubted our ability to accomplish our dreams?

Have you ever been told "you don't have what it takes" or even just asked "are you sure you should be doing that?"

Today I want to introduce you to Matt, Matt is one that not only has wondered what we all might accomplish if doubt wasn't placed on us by others, but also is one who does what he can to be a voice of support for those around him

As a photographer and creative individual Matt is one that knows how easy it is to feel a sense of fear when we pursue something new and the impact others words can have on us, good or bad

He shares how he values community over competition, how he desires to facilitate growth among others in the creative community, and the importance in giving back to the places that continue to inspire him

We talk about the impact genuine connections and experiences have had on us, why the people we connect with are what make the places we travel stand out the most, and why its so important to use our words wisely

He shares about what starting out on his own was like and where he was before he took that leap, how he used to struggle with what others thought of him but how he's so grateful for the freedom he has found in quieting the noise of others

We talk about the impact of failure and discomfort, how value is most often derived from what we can give to others, and the excitement in getting to share what he does with other creators

Matt is one that is on a mission to not only connect and expand his own community but also to use what he grows to impact others, he is one that reminds us not to fear pursuing what brings us joy, and one that so beautifully and creatively shares his art with the world

So tune in today and meet Matt, someone that no matter where you are on your journey, I believe there is something in knowing him that will help you take whatever your next step is

And to you Matt thank you, thank you for the value you place on connection and the way it led our paths to cross, for the heart and human that you so genuinely share with those around you, for your encouragement and patience throughout the week, for the way you are willing to do what's needed without ever overlooking those around you, and for doing 90% of the driving! You are a someone I am so grateful to now call friend and so excited for what life has ahead. @chunger_shoots Join my travel community HERE 

When was the last time you felt like your most vibrant self?

Do you remember the last time you felt truly alive, do you remember where you were, what you were doing, or who you were with?

Today I want to introduce you to Colleen, someone who's most vibrant and alive self I had the chance to share time with in one of the most beautiful places in the world

Colleen and I recently connected in the Canadian Rockies, a place she knows well and a place I had the chance to see with her. Colleen is not unlike the towering mountains or the perfectly placed snow we spent our time in, she is one that like the mountains stands firmly on what matters to her and at the same time lays gently like the snow besides those she cares for

She shares with me why she believes time to be one of the greatest gifts we have and why spending it both intentionally and efficiently impact how she values it most. She shares the heaviness that can be felt between a sense of heart and duty and how those two fare when it comes to direction in life at times

We talk about the importance of pressing in and not losing our zest for life, how loss changes us, and how the impact of those we learned from stays with us

We talk about how the world might be a little kinder if we each learned to value others choices a little more, why accepting ourselves a little sooner in life wouldn't be the worst thing, and why happiness doesn't mean someone didn't work hard to attain it

Colleen is one that observes and responds to those around her with understanding, she is one that knows the struggle life can be and chooses to show up for others in those hard places when she can, she is one that reminds others in the way she lives that it's ok to think of someone else first, but also one that doesn't negate her own value in the process

So tune in today and meet this adventure chasing, mountain climbing, angelic singing friend of mine

And to you Colleen thank you, thank you for being a girl that loves seeing the smile on another's face, for the way you patiently value what's important to the person in front of you, for pushing me oh so gently and firmly to not let my fear hold me back, for allowing me to learn from and get to know the genuine friend that you are. Looking forward to many more mountains and sledding together! @adventureiscolleen Join my travel community HERE

She shares with me how she at time might have pursued life in a better way but how she is so grateful for where she has chosen ti let it take her

What if you saw yourself differently than those who knew you?

Today I want to introduce you to Fonsi, Fonsi is one that describes himself as "a normal guy" but to those of us that know him (and those that just get to see his life on social media) he is anything but average. Fonsi is one that has the ability to share his passion or the ocean with others in a way that helps them let go of fear and embrace the beauty of it all, he is one who cares deeply for others, has a smile and joy that can connect with anyone, and for his many talents, certifications, and abilities... he is one of the most humble and kind men I know

We talk about the importance of being happy not just doing the things you love, but more importantly, doing them with people you love. He shares how what set out to be a few months in Australia turned into a 4 year adventure, and how that time changed his mindset and led him to live the lifestyle he has now

We talk about the value of time with yourself and how the way we value ourselves impacts the way we are able to show up for others. He shares how he has struggled with procrastination and comparison, how he has grown in that in some ways, and how he still maybe puts off things that aren't his favorite tasks

He shares why he would rather share experience over advice, how he hopes what life has taught him can impact others to live the way they are meant to, and why it's important to know that lifestyle may be one way for some and another for others

He shares with me why he values and is intentionally focusing on listening more than talking, the fear he felt as his last relationship came to an end, and why he is looking forward to improving whatever life puts in front of him. He shares how a disease that derailed his life also allowed him to pursue who and what he is now, and why he looks for ways to help others facilitate becoming the best version of themselves.

He shares the importance of his culture and heritage as a native, how he loves deeply the connection and importance his culture places on animals and what he learns from them as a result, and what some within his culture do that he struggles to see the value in
