🎙️ Lessons From the Aegean

In this special episode, I’m recording from Mykonos, Greece, during a once-in-a-lifetime Mediterranean vacation with some of my dearest friends. If you know me, you know I don’t usually enjoy long trips or being far from home. But this journey has surprised me in ways I couldn’t have imagined.

Over the past week, I’ve:

Faced my fears of being “stuck” at sea for 48 hours.
Learned to slow down and enjoy the journey—not just the destination.
Witnessed incredible resilience from my friend Lisa, who joined this cruise only five months after the sudden passing of her husband, Mike.
Reflected on the strength of friendships that have lasted decades through celebrations, illnesses, grief, and growth.
Climbed the 587 steps of Santorini—both a physical and metaphorical reminder of the climbs we all face in life.

As I sit here watching the Aegean Sea, I’m reminded that life is short, unpredictable, and precious. Whether we get five minutes, five years, or fifty years with someone we love, it is all a blessing.

✨ My hope is that this episode encourages you to slow down, savor the journey, and grab every bit of life you can—because the ride itself is the gift
