Practicing Mindfulness: Energy Is Better Than Strength [007]

“Everything that happens in the present is connected to the future. Change only happens in the moment, and we’ll become aware of it in the future.” Episode [007] moves through the importance of practicing mindfulness, how we might integrate rhythms into our daily lives, the beauty and power of yoga, and why energy is better than strength. We also briefly touch on some Enneagram application ahead of the next episode [008]. Everything is connected.

What Are You Passionate About? The Worst Question [005]

Many years ago, a friend of mine once asked me the question that has haunted me all of my days when they couldn't quite figure out "What exactly I do..." They said, very calmly and with intrigue, “You do so many different things—what is the one thing you’re passionate about?” This scenario would be repeated over and over and over through the years, and through various friends, mentors, clients, and all manner of humanoids. Recently, this same question dealing with what I am passionate about came back—and I invite you into the process and my open-letter style response. It’s the worst possible question for someone like me. Maybe you can relate. They said, "I don't know what you're passionate about..." It propelled me into a dark abyss. But I came out the other side full of energy and hope. This was my journey.
