Ever wanted to be on a Podcast?

Who are we without the intimacy of conversation? — Have you ever felt like your story meant something? Have you ever wanted to dive deep into the meaning of life, why we do what we do as humans, what our relationships mean, and how we can define what it means to live with direction and joy and purpose? Or…

ILLUMINATION

You’re Not an Adult unless You’re Doing What you Love

The truth of what it means to be in control — Oooo… Does that sound like an unfairly pointed finger? Does that sound ignorant? Does that sound cold and unjustified? Good. The statement isn’t about what it sounds like to you, it’s about how it makes you feel. We’re often responding to the world defensively. We respond with anger and hostility…

Your History of Becoming You

Becoming yourself now….even when you didn’t then. — How do we decide what we are? I never wanted to become what I did become. This thing. This arbitrary, random selection. The world pressed me to move forward, and my innocent soul told to me to pause. The quiet whisper of the soul may sometimes not be enough. And…

This is Why You’re Not Actually Different

But this is how you can be — What is ‘right’? Who decides what ‘right’ is? Everyone seems to be screaming it from the pits of their lungs… And it’s all nonsense. Here’s why. By far the greatest accomplishment I’ve had so far in my own scattered and abstract discoveries of the self is, to question all incoming…

This is Why your Anxiety Exists.

Alone is often necessary…until it’s not. — Disclaimer: This is for the people apart from the world itself. The ones who live inside their own heads, away from others. The ones who seek answers more than they seek comfort. The ones on a journey to understand life beyond the passive trance that most are captivated by. The…

Anger: The Emotion Keeping You From Your Goals

Search your feelings, young Jedi. — (If you don’t like Star Wars quotes, you can leave Sir/Miss.) First off… I’m not coming from a monk's standpoint or a stoic one. Though, I love both practices. Second… Anger is actually a fantastic emotion. I’m not telling you not to feel. …

Who and What you are is built by Where you’ve been.

The power of movement is everything — I’m back. I’ve missed you all. And still… I’ve been away for so long I’ve forgotten who you are. I guess it’s only been a few weeks… But it’s felt as though I’ve desecrated my own craft and the people I’m connected to with it. Writing is my newest journey. …

Is makeup the end of Natural Attraction?

Are we building beauty into a shell of what it should be? — Hear me out… The world has created so many amazing things. We’ve been replacing, supplementing, and perfecting flawed systems and workloads. Things that are justifiably far better than what they could be. There’s a level of satisfaction that lies in creating new ways to do things. Our lifestyles become less…

Is it Healthy to Leave my Father Behind?

Not everything a culture says is healthy is true. — We’re done. Mostly. I hit a pressure point with my father after years of trying to heal our relationship and find a good way for us to connect. And now, I’ll continue without him. I plan on keeping in contact with him, but I’m no longer seeking validation, support, or…

It took me 20 years to lift 450 pounds

The translation between physiological and psychological change — What type of physical training do you do? How often do you do it? How ‘in-shape’ are you compared to 10 years ago? 20 years ago? I’m not judging you…I’m just creating a starting point for our conversation. I was 5'3" and 114 pounds when I was fifteen. Back then…
