Episode - 31: Today’s Agenda: Overthink, Avoid Work, Become A Squirrel
Manage episode 523000375 series 3530711
Ever catch yourself staring down the same question on a loop—what is it all for—and realize you’ve been holding your breath? That’s where we pick up the thread: in the weird middle space between wanting a life that feels alive and slogging through routines that deaden the day. I talk about work that doesn’t fit, dreams that feel fragile, and the real friction of trying to start when confidence is low and distractions are loud.
We go straight at the swirl: chasing meaning while the mind changes its mind, craving conversation and humor over status, and wondering how much attention to give the world’s noise without letting it hollow us out. I share how timelines slip when money is tight, how “vision boards” never stuck because I don’t want more stuff, and why travel, music, and small creative acts feel closer to purpose than any job title. We venture into cosmic what‑ifs and the lure of rabbit holes, then come back to earth with one clear trade: less consumption, more creation.
There’s also the hard part I usually skip—how early loss and a boundary‑crossing adult scrambled my wiring, how that history still shadows self‑trust, and how I’m learning to speak without feeling like I’m bragging. Instead of pretending to have answers, I’m practicing better questions and smaller promises: fifteen minutes of guitar, one page in a journal, one honest share. The through line isn’t mastery. It’s motion. If you’re lost, you’re not alone; being lost is sometimes the only honest place to begin.
