The Carlos Whittaker Podcast

This week’s episode is a little different. No guest. No interview. Just me, catching you up on my life. I’m sharing honestly about what it’s been like navigating the loss of my dad, stepping into the new role of caring for my mom, and figuring out what boundaries look like in this season of shifting family dynamics. I also talk about the disappointment that comes when people say they’ll show up—and don’t. If you’ve ever found yourself holding more than you thought you could carry, this one’s for you. Class is still in session… just a little more personal today. . . . . . Have a secretly extraordinary life?

When I tell you that this episode will not only change your life but may also change your dying, I mean it! Joon humbly shares his gentle wisdom with us as he shares about his experience as a hospital chaplain. He shares a bit about how a hard childhood led him to a compassionate career and where we can find and offer dignity at the end of a life. He has the ability to make a topic we all shy away from feel hopeful. Class is in session. Let's get curious! . . . . . Find Joon "J.S."

The two most hospitable people I know are on the show today to share alllll their wisdom.  Heather and I were visiting our good friends up in Amish country, and it was such a gift that I wanted to share it with you. Lee Ann’s hospitality has moved me and made me feel seen in ways that a lot of people don’t.  There’s something inside all of us that hesitates to go all in when it comes to being hospitable—we’re scared that we’re not good hosts or we can’t cook well enough or we don’t have the right space for it. Let Lee Ann and Heather help you realize what kind of hospitality you’re actually capable of!  Class is in session. Let’s get curious! . . . . .

That’s right. I’m the guest this week. LOL.  If you’ve been online this week, you’ll know that I launched an online course called Human School. However, what you don’t know is how anxious it has made me feel. As an online creator, I battle all kinds of feelings like anxiety, imposter syndrome, and fear of failure. Selling anything online feels like a huge risk. So today I’m pulling back the curtain and giving you a peek into my brain.  AND I’m sharing about why I believe in the content that I create. Here’s a tip: Believing in what you’re doing is the antidote to imposter syndrome. Class is in session. Let’s get curious! . . . . . Want to join Human School?
