Finding Wonder in Everyday Life | Ep. 3

[https://www.buzzsprout.com/2539277/fan_mail/new] What if wonder isn't something we've lost, but something that's always knocking at our door and we've simply stopped answering? In this episode, I share my personal definition of wonder and explore why the very busyness of modern life might be obscuring what's already reaching toward us. I dig into: * Why wonder is an encounter with frontiers, not a feeling to chase * The "elsewhere IV drip" of constant digital distraction that pulls us from presence * How the outrage-attention media complex fragments our ability to focus on what matters * The wisdom of "tending to the part of the garden you can touch" * The difference between mystery (to live in) and riddles (to solve) * How wonder uses the raw material of our everyday busyness—if we know how to look For anyone feeling like they're living in a chronic state of distraction, perpetually elsewhere while life passes by, this episode offers a way back to presence. Not through adding more to your schedule, but through recognizing that wonder is already woven into the fabric of your daily experience. Have a question? Ask here! [https://www.speakpipe.com/wonder]

The Day the Magic Died (And How to Bring It Back): An Interview With Dan Garfield | Where Wonder Went Ep. 2

Something to share? Send me a text! [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2539277/fan_mail/new] Question? Leave me a voicenote! [https://speakpipe.com/wonder] Why do children naturally experience wonder while adults feel threatened by it? In this conversation with my dear friend Dan Garfield [https://danlistensto.substack.com/], we explore how the very systems meant to educate us can actually suppress our ability to experience the world as it is. We dig into: * The difference between curiosity and wonder * Why "I don't know" might be the most honest stance anyone can take * Why meanings aren't fixed objects but living things that unfold over time * What happens when you stop filtering out weird experiences that don't fit your worldview * How language cuts reality into the speakable and unspeakable—with most of life in the part we can't name * The practice of paying attention without needing to understand For anyone feeling like life has become a series of familiar categories rather than an ongoing mystery, this episode offers both a diagnosis of how we got here and a surprisingly practical path back—not through magical thinking, but through the simple, difficult practice of actually paying attention. If you enjoyed listening to Dan, I encourage you to subscribe to his substack.

Episode 5 Forces Erasing Wonder From Your World | Ep. 1 Cover

5 Forces Erasing Wonder From Your World | Ep. 1

Something to share? Send me a text! [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2539277/fan_mail/new] In this first episode of Where Wonder Went, I reflect on five years of publishing my newsletter Down the Rabbit Hole  [https://downtherabbithole.beehiiv.com] and why I decided to launch this new podcast. I explore the central question behind the series: where did our sense of wonder go? Drawing from my own journey as a sleight of hand magician and curator of wonderful things, I share why wonder often fades as we grow older, the five forces behind its erasure, and why I believe rediscovering it is essential for living with reverence and aliveness. This episode sets the stage for the conversations and explorations to come as I invite you to join me in the practice of re-enchantment and in finding the extraordinary hidden in everyday life.
