The Art Of Tough Transitions Podcast

I read a quote the other day that said our wounds and traumas are salt mines from which we gain a precious essence without which the soul cannot live. That's powerful. When you realize all the pain in your life arises out of neglect from what you were afraid of most, the way we show up to this world takes a new shape and meaning.

In today's flow, I talk about acceptance in life through grief and how it shapes who we are and who we choose to become.

In anticipation of the audio version release of Nowhere To Go, I am sharing with you some professional recordings of essays from my book over the next few weeks. I am really excited to get this project out into the world, especially with the uncertainties we are all facing.

We all want to believe we control our lives, yet we ignore what we feel inside. We walk through most of our lives wearing an identity shaped by our family, friends, and environment. There’s an implicit code that governs how we should live our lives, and it’s one that often leaves us lost and empty.

That's what you'll discover inside this episode.

When I began writing this book, my dad let my family know he was slowly dying of cancer. The disease spread into his bones and is eating away at his insides. Seeing him live through the process has been one of the most painful experiences to watch from afar. Yesterday was his 73rd birthday, and we celebrated as a family, It was a special moment.

Today's podcast is a compilation of my book and how I feel about the one thing in life we are all promised.

In the Pemmigasset Wilderness, I faced knee-breaking rocks, post-holing snow, haunting solitude, and pushed the edges of my physical limits. My legs cramped, my feet filled with blisters, and I had 17 miles left on a 33-mile loop. The Pemi Loops is considered the second hardest day hike in America.

In today's podcast, I share my experience on a grueling hike, the lessons learned from this ancient Japanese ritual, and how it applies to your life.

How much of our lives do we spend on the surface scrolling through our phones like internet drones? How many times do we rush to the next big milestone in life? In today's Friday Flow, I talk about how we can’t just expect to follow a linear timeline of life. It’s a dance filled with many twists and turns. And true transformation usually happens in those moments you least expect.

Because maybe life isn’t about achieving certain milestones, but rather a reflection of who we are as humans and how we show up in the world. And the more you rush through life, the less you see all the amazing opportunities in from of you.
