Appreciation is one of the most effective ways to empower ourselves and positively impact the people around us, yet it’s something that can be both challenging and overlooked, especially when there’s a lot going on as there is these days. On this episode, I talk about what makes appreciation difficult to focus on authentically and why it matters so much, how it strengthens our relationships and our well-being, and what it looks like to practice genuine appreciation in our lives and with the people we care about and work with every day.
In a world that can feel overwhelming, uncertain, and exhausting, it’s often easier to pull back, numb out, or protect ourselves by caring less. On this episode, I talk about why truly caring is a courageous act, the difference between going all in and burning out, and how choosing engagement over detachment allows us to live, lead, and relate with more meaning, boldness, and presence, even when there are no guarantees.
Lately, I’ve been noticing how much pressure there is to be clear, confident, and put together, even when things feel uncertain, confusing, or in process. On this episode, I share some honest reflections about messiness, why it doesn’t mean something is wrong with us, and how being messy is often a sign that we’re engaged, growing, and showing up for what matters. This is an invitation to soften our self-judgment, offer ourselves and others more compassion, and remember that it’s okay to be unfinished.
On this episode, I sit down with Darnell Walker, author of the new book, Never Can Say Goodbye: The Life of a Death Doula and the Art of a Peaceful End, to talk about life, death, and what it really means to be present for both. We explore Darnell’s journey as a death doula, what he’s learned from walking alongside people at the end of life, and how facing our mortality can actually deepen our appreciation for living fully, operating with authenticity, and showing up for what matters most.
It’s an intense time in our country and the world right now, and caring deeply about what’s happening can sometimes pull us into self-righteousness without us realizing it. On this episode, I talk about the difference between self-righteousness and healthy conviction, why self-righteousness is so tempting during challenging times (in the world, at work, and in life), and how we can stay grounded in our values without hardening, disconnecting, or losing our humanity.
