JATG 131 - Three Heart Procedures, Two Seizures, One Podcast

JATG 134 - Lower the Bar

Some days you wake up ready to conquer the world, and other days making your bed, eating lunch, or recording a short podcast is plenty. In this episode, I talk about lowering the bar without giving up - making the next step so manageable that you can actually take it. I also explain why I finally ended my 550-day Duolingo streak and chose better sleep over an angry cartoon owl. I didn’t have my most focused day, but I recorded, shared, and showed up - and sometimes that is the win.

JATG 133 - Slowwwww Dowwwwwnnnn

In this episode, I talk about something I've been learning the hard way over the last year: slowing down. Between brain surgery, seizures, heart procedures, and taking some time away from work, I've realized that I don't have to do everything all at once. We dive into why multitasking is mostly a myth, how focusing on one thing at a time can help rebuild our attention and calm our nervous systems, and how that idea applies to fitness, comedy, reading, and everyday life. Sometimes the best thing we can do isn't squeeze more into the day - it might just be to enjoy the day we've already got.

JATG 132 - I've Got Sinus Rhythm, Baby!

This week, I’m sharing some actual good news: after my July 2 cardioversion, I’m back in sinus rhythm, baby. I talk about another hospital trip, what it feels like to keep navigating AFib, seizures, sleep, stress, and recovery, and why I’m trying to get better at accepting the unknown instead of pretending I can control everything. I also get into returning to the movie theater after my seizure, rereading Philip Pullman’s Book of Dust series, drinking water, taking things easy, and staying connected to the little things that help keep the mind, body, and spirit moving.

JATG 131 - Three Heart Procedures, Two Seizures, One Podcast

I check in this week before another cardioversion to talk seizures, comedy, prioritizing sleep, spoon theory, and trying to move through a chaotic medical year with humor and honesty. It’s a short(ish) episode about accepting lower energy, leaning on support, and still loving the process - whether that’s podcasting, training, comedy, or just getting through the day. Enjoy!

JATG 130 - A straight up comedy set

Due to technical difficulties, this week’s episode is a straight up stand-up comedy set that I recorded at a backyard show in my friend Tim’s comedy club on Saturday, June 20, 2026, which was a pretty darn good time. There were about 15 people there (which is basically full) and everyone seemed to have a pretty good time with myself, as as well as with the other performers. You will hear a brief introduction from Tim -  recent PhD recipient - and then I will do some comedy. 130 episodes, baby - seizures be damned! Enjoy! And as a public service announcement, never get your internet from CenturyLink!
