After months off the mic, I'm back—and this time, I'm bringing all of me.In this heart-led solo episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on what really happened during my break from the podcast, social media, and my business.

Have you ever wondered what separates manufactured experiences from authentic adventures? Fresh from spinning teacups and crowded pathways at Disneyland with my adult son, I found myself contemplating the profound difference between engineered entertainment and the raw reality of motorcycle journeys through wild places.Disneyland stands as a marvel of imagination and customer service—a meticulously crafted illusion where every detail from the synchronized parades to the impossibly clean streets creates a seamless fantasy world. We pay a premium for this predictability, knowing exactly where our next thrill will come from and confident in our safety throughout. It's entertainment perfection by design.Contrast this with throwing a leg over an adventure motorcycle and heading into the Colorado Rockies, where nothing is choreographed and everything is gloriously unpredictable. Weather changes in minutes, dusty trails transform unexpectedly, and real challenges emerge without warning. Yet it's precisely these unscripted moments that deliver the deepest rewards—a profound sense of self-reliance, genuine connection with nature, and the meditative clarity that comes only when we're fully present. While Disneyland offers instant gratification, motorcycle journeys offer transformation.This isn't about declaring one experience superior to another—my time bonding with my son at Disneyland was genuinely precious. Rather, it's about recognizing that different journeys serve different purposes in our lives. Sometimes we need the fantasy and escape of perfectly engineered experiences. But for those seeking genuine transformation, perhaps the happiest place on earth isn't found where everything goes according to plan, but rather where the pavement ends and the wild begins. What kind of adventure are you seeking next?Support the show

These, he says, are the foundations of connection—both with others and with yourself.Whether you're a creative, a parent, a professional feeling a little lost, or just someone yearning for deeper connections in a fast-paced world, this episode is an invitation to slow down, tune in, and reconnect—with presence, with purpose, and with the people around you.“Notice more. Listen deeper. It costs nothing—and changes everything.”John WairePhotographer | Curator of everyday magic | Believer in the wild ordinary | Fueled by heartbeats | Encouraging others to Be Kind, Disruptive and Generous | Ready for a road trip to capture the heart of your story...A Baltimore based documentary photographer — a family man at heart. John strives to shine a light on the everyday moments that bind us all together.Find out more about John online:thewairehouse.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/johnwaire/

What do a fine dining maitre d. A magician burying cards in a backyard and a toddler looking for Elsa have in common? They all show us that magic still exists. If we're willing to care more, than seems reasonable. In this episode, Will Guidara, who's a former co-owner of 11 Madison Park, which was once named the best restaurant in the world, the author of Unreasonable Hospitality and advisor on the hit series The Bear, shares how he transformed a restaurant into the best in the world not through perfection but through moments of radical hospitality. Whether it was sending out hot dogs on fine China or designing hand signals to pour water silently. It was never only about the food, it was about making people feel seen. This is a conversation about joy, about seeing service not as subservience, but as nobility and the kind of creativity that invites connection.The Tao Te Ching is one of those books I keep coming back to. Ancient wisdom, wrapped in poetry, that somehow feels more relevant every year. Like this line: “If you look to others for happiness, you will never be happy. If your well-being depends on money, you will never be content.“Simple. Clear. Actually useful.I've teamed up with Rebind.ai to create an interactive edition of the Tao—forty essential verses, translated into plain, everyday language, with space to reflect, explore, and ask questions. It's like having a conversation not just with the Tao, but with me too.

Ekkk Happy Christmas Eve!!! I hope your week is starting off great as we all patiently wait for the big guy to come down the chimney! I wanted to drop a brand new pod episode into your inbox for you to listen to while you finish your gift wrapping and last minute "to-do's". In Episode 188, I share THE BEST gift you can give yourself and others this Christmas and how you can find magic in recovery this holiday. ~ So yesterday I was at Santa with my boys and it hit me. While everyone around us was rushing, stressed about perfect pictures and checking their phones, my kids were just Present. It was like time stood still to them. They were living in the pure magic of the moment as they waited in line to see Santa. And it got me thinking about how often we miss these precious moments. My kids are 6 and 10 and I look at it as a very pivotal year because I am hanging on to my 10 year old with the expectation that he's always going to want to stand in that line. And the reality sis, is I know that we're on the last leg of moments like that one. How about your reality? Well when you're struggling with an eating disorder, it literally sucks all the good moments from your life. So many moments are missed because you are caught up in those eating disorder thoughts. So many moments I missed. And so I wanted to bring you this episode today not to be a negative Scrooge. But actually quite the opposite. It's time to take a stand against spending ONE more Christmas at war with your body! No more giving your best gift away for a false sense of control. And that gift, friend? TIME. ~ The boys and I went to a family gathering last night after Santa, one that in past years would have sent me into a tailspin. I mean, yes, it was the kind with all the festive dishes, a charcuterie board, espresso martinis, all the tasty festive treats, enter the cookies, the brownies, the shortbread...there was banana pudding. It was amazing! And while my recovered-self enjoyed every bite of nourishment. I couldn't help but realize just how fast time flies. I questioned myself, "do I live here in all the right now moments? Or am I living back there and how it used to be or fast forward to what hasn't even arrived yet?" I don't know about you, but I want to remember all these moments that I have left, all of them. It's so important to really get real and present with ourselves. And that's what I wanted to do was to question your current state.  If you are feeling drained, overwhelmed, and maybe the holidays are just not your thing because of past traumas, or because of the eating disorder or because of lost loved ones. I totally get that, but there is still something so magical about this time of year. Here's the thing. The magic of recovery, just like the magic of Christmas, it happens in the NOW. It happens in the present. And it happens when we choose to be here, even when it's super, super uncomfortable.  So my hope for your this holiday is that you LIVE in the PRESENT and make a commitment to your future self to get the help and support you need to combat your eating disorder.

Well, friends, here I am celebrating my first Christmas alone in 24 years. Let me assure you: I'm not sad, lonely, or spiraling into an eggnog-induced funk. I'm simply in a season of profound introspection. This season is ripe with potential epiphanies. It's a time to ask ourselves: If the Season of Light is about giving, then what do I give to me? How do I create my own magic when there's no one else to “Christmas-fy” for? That's where the gold is. Because Christmas isn't just what was. It's what we choose to make of it... and friends, that's magic waiting to happen. Join me for the most powerful and sparkly Season of Light message - ever!

This week, I'm sharing some holiday highs, a few stumbles, and why staying flexible is more important this time of year than ever before. From our family's Christmas tree adventure (where nothing went as planned) to balancing holiday to-dos with quiet moments, it's all about finding joy in the unexpected. I also share a bit about past holidays that were tough and how those experiences helped me shift my perspective. We all experience grief around the holidays, and it's so important to leave space to process it. It's not about having a picture-perfect season; it's about finding little ways to make it meaningful, even if that means curling up with a blanket and just enjoying the glow of your Christmas tree.

det var nu et sted for minder og personlig sejr.En: Tivoli had become more than an amusement park; it was now a place of memories and personal victory.

Fluent Fiction - Catalan: Jordi's Journey: Finding Magic in the Storm Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/ca/episode/2024-11-25-23-34-02-ca Story Transcript:Ca: El vent jugava amb les fulles seques, ballant a l'esquena dels arbres que vestien els colors de la tardor.En: The wind played with the dry leaves, dancing behind the trees dressed in the colors of autumn.Ca: Els Pirineus, majestuosos i antics, es desplegaven davant de Jordi amb carreteres que serpentejaven amunt i avall, com una pintura que esperava ser creada.En: The Pirineus, majestic and ancient, stretched out before Jordi with roads winding up and down, like a painting waiting to be created.Ca: Jordi, un artista assedegat d'inspiració, s'havia endinsat en aquest món natural buscant noves muses per la seva paleta d'emocions.En: Jordi, an artist thirsty for inspiration, had ventured into this natural world seeking new muses for his palette of emotions.Ca: Era un dia fresc, a pocs dies de la Diada de Sant Llúcia, una festivitat que sempre havia despertat la màgia en el seu cor.En: It was a cool day, just a few days before the Diada de Sant Llúcia, a festivity that always stirred magic in his heart.Ca: Però aquesta vegada, aquella màgia semblava allunyar-se, amagant-se com si tingués por del món.En: But this time, that magic seemed to drift away, hiding as if afraid of the world.Ca: Amb la mirada fixada a la carretera, Jordi escoltava la ràdio del cotxe.En: With his eyes fixed on the road, Jordi listened to the car radio.Ca: La veu robòtica va interrompre la música suau per emetre un avís:"Atenció!En: The robotic voice interrupted the soft music to issue a warning: "Attention!Ca: Una forta tempesta s'apropa als Pirineus.En: A strong storm is approaching the Pirineus.Ca: Reconeixeu el risc de desplaçar-vos per aquestes carreteres.En: Recognize the risk of traveling on these roads.Ca: Mantingueu-vos a resguard si us és possible.En: Stay sheltered if possible."Ca: "Jordi va fer una pausa.En: Jordi paused.Ca: Sabia que allunyant-se del seu camí, podria trobar refugis més segurs, però alguna cosa dins seu l'incitava a seguir.En: He knew that by straying from his path, he could find safer shelters, but something inside him urged him to continue.Ca: "Potser aquesta tempesta amaga el secret que busco", va pensar ell, mentre el cor començava a bategar amb una barreja de por i fascinació.En: "Perhaps this storm hides the secret I'm looking for," he thought, as his heart began to beat with a mix of fear and fascination.Ca: Amb decisió, va continuar endavant, enfonsant-se cada vegada més als braços de la muntanya.En: With determination, he pressed on, delving deeper into the arms of the mountain.Ca: El cel va començar a pesar com plom, i els núvols negres van col·locar-se com guàrdies sobre les altures.En: The sky began to weigh like lead, and the black clouds positioned themselves like guards over the heights.Ca: La pluja es va convertir en companya de viatge, arrossegant rius per la vorera.En: The rain became his traveling companion, dragging rivers along the roadside.Ca: Jordi es va concentrar més, lluitant contra el temor que la terra mateixa li donés una lliçó.En: Jordi focused more, fighting against the fear that the earth itself might give him a lesson.Ca: De sobte, la carretera va tremolar.En: Suddenly, the road shook.Ca: Un soroll sord i profund, com un tro, va omplir l'aire.En: A deep, muffled sound, like thunder, filled the air.Ca: Una esllavissada de terra es va estendre davant d'ell, separant el camí.En: A landslide spread before him, separating the path.Ca: En un reflex, Jordi va girar el volant, desviar el camí del cotxe i va acabar en una petita clariana, segura però fora de la carretera.En: In a reflex, Jordi turned the steering wheel, diverted the car's path, and ended up in a small clearing, safe but off the road.Ca: Allà estava, envoltat de silencis que només la natura pot oferir.En: There he was, surrounded by silences that only nature can offer.Ca: Davant seu, la pluja havia rentat els boirals, revelant una vista que va tallar la respiració.En: Before him, the rain had washed away the mist, revealing a breathtaking view.Ca: Les muntanyes es desplegaven com gegants adormits, i un arc de sant martí travessava el cel com una promesa.En: The mountains unfolded like sleeping giants, and a rainbow arched across the sky like a promise.Ca: Jordi va agafar el seu quadern de dibuix, i, per primera vegada en mesos, va sentir l'espurna creativa cremar amb força al seu interior.En: Jordi took out his sketchbook, and for the first time in months, he felt the creative spark burn intensely within him.Ca: Mentres el traç del llapis capturava les línies de la natura, Jordi es va adonar que havia trobat el que buscava.En: As the stroke of the pencil captured the lines of nature, Jordi realized that he had found what he was looking for.Ca: La incertesa ja no era la seva enemiga, sinó la seva musa.En: Uncertainty was no longer his enemy, but his muse.Ca: Aquest moment inesperat, ple de sorpresa i bellesa, li havia recordat que l'art és una combinació de risc i descobriment.En: This unexpected moment, full of surprise and beauty, reminded him that art is a combination of risk and discovery.Ca: Va ser així com Jordi va tornar a casa amb molt més que dibuixos nous.En: And so, Jordi returned home with much more than new drawings.Ca: Va portar amb ell una nova comprensió.En: He carried with him a new understanding.Ca: Els pirates emocionals que desterraven la certesa ara eren aliats per a la seva creativitat.En: The emotional pirates that banished certainty were now allies for his creativity.Ca: Sant Llúcia arribaria ben aviat, i aquesta vegada, Jordi sabia que la màgia viuria sempre en ell, tant en les tempestes com en la calma.En: Sant Llúcia would arrive soon, and this time, Jordi knew that the magic would live on within him, both in the storms and in the calm.
