Join us as we continue Season 5 on Life Purpose and Calling by speaking with two friends that I consider mentors in my community.

The [elder] is able to relinquish...

In this episode, I momentarily break from the theme of Season 3 (Nature) to share with you what God laid on my heart. I talk about a past mistake that I made years ago, and the associated shame and regret that has (until recently) been holding onto me, keeping me from showing up to life in the way God intended. I talk about how I was taught to use the thought model to harness those innermost burie...

In this (mini) episode, I bring my infinite love of nature as a biologist to discuss its restorative effects, particularly on the brain's ability towards productive, proactive thinking. These are my thoughts from 3 years ago, combined with recent information that I've come across. I saw a connection between this information and thought it worthy to share here, during season 3 which focus...

We met through our passion for nature so...

This is the last episode closing our second season of the podcast in which we discussed the idea of mentorship in many different flavors.
