Chasing Light w/Isa Agape

In this episode, I sit-down with Tom McGrady who has spent most of his life enjoying the mountains and backpacking. His early years were with Boy Scout trips that he would take. Tom hiked the PCT between 1978-1984. He did it over a 6 year period. He’s also hiked the John Muir Trail twice. He’s gone on 3 bike trips from Canada down to San Francisco in his younger years 3 times. We talk camping, bears, backpacking, and more!!!

I wanted to reserve our VERY FIRST PODCAST OF 2019 to a dear friend of mine, Ben Messner, who is the Founder of The Reflection Ritual! Ben and I went to college together. We graduated the same year. After we graduated we went on a road trip and towards the very end of that trip ended up backpacking in the Trinity Alps near Redding CA…. It was a magical experience. Some of the best memories I have. Reflection Ritual is a beautifully designed journal created to help people live better stories through intentional reflection and dreaming.

We are all guaranteed to have grief and loss in life. We live in a fallen world. For some, the holiday season is a joyous time, with close family around to celebrate and spend time with. But for others, its not so joyous. In fact, its pretty brutal. Having lost my mom many years ago, it was especially hard for me during the holiday season. I recent came across a post from my college professor that stated that this year was hard cause he lost his dad and aunt. He reminded us in his post to be mindful of those that don't do well during the holiday season. He also stated that it would be a hard holiday season for him. I knew it needed to be discussed. So I invited my good friend Vicki Hagadorn to chat with me about loss and grief, and how to deal with the holiday season. I for one am not an expert in this field, but Vicki has taught on Grief for 16 years! Be sure to listen and take notes. There's a LOT of helpful information for you if you are dealing with a loss, or just have a hard time during the holidays. Know that you are not alone!

I sitdown with good friend Andris Lanka in his home in Liepaja, Latvia by the fire! The room is big and open with lots of windows. The fire place is burning hot!

I had the pleasure of sitting down with Wildlife Biologist Delphin Roché from Tromsø. We talked about our Northern Light tour that happened the night before and also answer burning questions about the Aurora phenomenon, where to see them, what time of year is best and why. If you have the Northern Lights on your list this special Episode is a MUST! I learned a lot being around Delphin. Very knowledgeable in nature, Northern Lights, photography… Tune In!
