Esther Zuckerman joins Katey and Chris to look at the fall slate for A24 as well as the newest contender for its cool kid crown, Mubi, plus a few titles from fellow indies Lionsgate and Bleecker Street. Then Katey talks to The White Lotus star Walton Goggins about the terrifying but grand adventure of being on that set, and why his offscreen reunion with Sam Rockwell might have been even more dramatic than what we saw on the show.

If you've ever caught yourself staring out a window, daydreaming of cobblestone streets in Paris, sunrises over Bali rice fields, or the quiet serenity of a mountain trail, you're not alone. Wanderlust—the irresistible urge to travel—is more than a trendy hashtag or a clever slogan on a hoodie. It's a deeply rooted part of human psychology.A Journey into the Mind of the TravelerAt 1923 Main Street, we live for that pull toward the horizon. But what is wanderlust, really? Why are some of us always dreaming of elsewhere?Let's take a journey into the mind.Born to Roam: The Science of WanderlustWanderlust isn't just a personality quirk—it's something researchers have studied and even tried to measure. There's a term for the personality trait most associated with travel: “high openness to experience.” Psychologists define this as one of the Big Five personality traits, and it's a strong predictor of someone's love for novelty, adventure and yes—travel.Studies have shown that people who score high in openness tend to:Be more curious and imaginativeSeek out variety and new experiencesBe more tolerant of uncertainty and ambiguityIt's not just about loving travel—it's about thriving on the unknown.There's also a genetic component. A study published in the journal Evolution and Human Behavior suggested a connection between the DRD4-7R gene and a tendency to love exploring. People with this “wanderlust gene” tend to be more risk-taking and exploratory. Not everyone has it, but those who do are statistically more likely to crave far-off places.The Eternal Elsewhere: Is Wanderlust Good or Bad?Like anything, wanderlust has its pros and cons.On the plus side:Travel lovers tend to be more adaptable and resilient.Exploring new cultures fosters empathy and creativity.Experiences (like travel) are known to bring longer-lasting happiness than possessions.But a constant yearning to be somewhere else can also have its downside. If you're always focused on “the next place,” it can be hard to appreciate the present. Psychologists refer to this as destination addiction—the idea that happiness is always “somewhere else,” just out of reach.The trick? Embrace the adventure, but don't lose sight of the beauty in everyday life. (That's part of why we design our graphic tees and hoodies the way we do—to bring a little bit of your favorite places with you wherever you are—including enjoying those memories at home.)The Social Media Effect: Inspiration or Illusion?We all know that the digital age has turbocharged our wanderlust. Your scrolling fingers barely have time to rest before you're seeing someone's photo of Santorini sunsets or Patagonia peaks.But beware, because social media can play a little game of angel/devil:Angel:It fuels inspiration and discovery—introducing places you might never have dreamed of.It creates a global community of like-minded adventurers.Devil:It can create unrealistic expectations (hello, curated perfection).It may lead to comparison fatigue, making us feel like we're missing out.Research from the University of Pennsylvania showed that limiting social media use to 30 minutes per day can reduce feelings of loneliness and FOMO—especially relevant when every scroll seems to showcase another person's passport stamp or sunrise mountain top photo from a faraway land.The key? Let social media inspire your dreams, but not dictate your worth.Are You Wired for Wanderlust?Wondering if you're part of the wanderlust tribe? Ask yourself:Do I get excited by planning trips—even ones I might never take?Do I sometimes feel more “me” when I'm out of my comfort zone?Am I more drawn to experiences than stuff?Do I keep a mental list (or an actual map) of dream destinations?Have I ever picked a hoodie or tee just because it reminds me of a place I love?If you nodded yes to most of those, chances are—wanderlust runs through your veins.Final Boarding CallWanderlust isn't something to be cured—it's something to be celebrated. The desire to travel pushes us to explore, connect and dream. Whether you're planning your next trip or reminiscing about your last, 1923 Main Street is here to keep that adventurous spark alive. Our travel-inspired apparel lets you wear your passion for the world—wherever you are, wherever you're going next.So go ahead—dream big, roam far, and bring a piece of the journey with you.Shop at 1923 Main Street, the Spirit Brand for Those Who Love to TravelThank you for listening to the Travel Style Podcast at 1923MainStreet.com.Shop unique and original travel inspired and subtle Disney travel clothing, including t-shirts, sweatshirt, hoodies and more at 1923 Main Street.Follow along on X, Instagram, Pinterest and Facebook.Thank you for listening and always remember to roam freely and wear boldly.Mike Belobradic and Amelia Belobradic--Media provided by Jamendo

Story Transcript:Ca: El sol brillava intensament sobre Barcelona aquell dia d'estiu.En: The sun was shining intensely over Barcelona that summer day.Ca: Els carrers del Barri Gòtic eren plens de turistes i locals, i l'aire estava carregat de l'esperit vibrant de la ciutat.En: The streets of the Barri Gòtic were full of tourists and locals, and the air was filled with the vibrant spirit of the city.Ca: Núria, amb un petit mapa a la mà, passejava per les estretes carrers de pedra.En: Núria, with a small map in hand, wandered through the narrow stone streets.Ca: Era la seva primera vegada a Barcelona, i volia captar cada racó abans de pujar a l'avió aquella nit.En: It was her first time in Barcelona, and she wanted to capture every corner before boarding the plane that night.Ca: Després de caminar durant hores, Núria va decidir aturar-se al "Cafè Dels Somnis", una acollidora teteria amagada entre els carrerons.En: After walking for hours, Núria decided to stop at the "Cafè Dels Somnis," a cozy teahouse hidden among the alleyways.Ca: La porta de fusta antiga va xiular suaument quan va entrar.En: The old wooden door squeaked softly as she entered.Ca: A dins, el perfum d'infusions i el so de converses murmurades la van envoltar.En: Inside, the scent of infusions and the sound of murmured conversations surrounded her.Ca: Va triar una petita taula de fusta a prop de la finestra.En: She chose a small wooden table near the window.Ca: Asseguda, es va adonar que aquell petit refugi era el lloc perfecte per descansar i reflexionar sobre el dia.En: Seated, she realized that this small refuge was the perfect place to rest and reflect on the day.Ca: Darrere del taulell, Martí, el barista, servia amb destresa una tassa de te a un client.En: Behind the counter, Martí, the barista, was skillfully serving a cup of tea to a customer.Ca: Els seus somnis de viatjar es barrejaven amb l'aroma dels tes que coneixia perfectament.En: His dreams of traveling mingled with the aroma of the teas he knew perfectly.Ca: Quan va veure Núria, va adonar-se de la seva curiositat i va decidir anar a atendre-la.En: When he saw Núria, he noticed her curiosity and decided to attend to her.Ca: "Hola, què puc oferir-te?En: "Hello, what can I offer you?"Ca: " va preguntar amb un somriure càlid.En: he asked with a warm smile.Ca: Núria, amb ganes de conversar, li va respondre: "Hola!En: Núria, eager to chat, replied: "Hello!Ca: Ets d'aquí?En: Are you from here?Ca: És la meva primera vegada a Barcelona i vull conèixer el que és més autèntic.En: It's my first time in Barcelona and I want to experience what is most authentic."Ca: "Martí, content de tenir una estona per parlar, va contestar: "Sí, he nascut aquí.En: Martí, happy to have a chance to talk, responded: "Yes, I was born here.Ca: I tu d'on véns?En: And where are you from?"Ca: " La conversa va fluir fàcilment.En: The conversation flowed easily.Ca: Parlaven de llocs, costums i petites joies amagades de la ciutat.En: They talked about places, customs, and little hidden gems of the city.Ca: La seva connexió es va fer més forta amb cada tassa de te.En: Their connection grew stronger with each cup of tea.Ca: "Núria, no tinc molt de temps fins al meu vol," va dir ella, mirant el rellotge.En: "Núria, I don't have much time until my flight," she said, looking at the clock.Ca: "Però m'encantaria veure més de la ciutat.En: "But I would love to see more of the city.Ca: Tens algun racó especial?En: Do you have any special spots?"Ca: "Martí, sentint-se inspirat per l'energia de Núria, va aprofitar el moment.En: Martí, feeling inspired by Núria's energy, seized the moment.Ca: "Escolta, i si et porto a veure alguns llocs especials?En: "Listen, what if I take you to see some special places?Ca: Puc tancar aviat avui.En: I can close early today."Ca: "Núria va sentir una emoció inesperada.En: Núria felt an unexpected thrill.Ca: "De debò?En: "Really?Ca: Seria increïble!En: That would be incredible!"Ca: "Van sortir junts de la teteria i es van submergir en un petit tour improvisat.En: They left the teahouse together and dove into a little impromptu tour.Ca: Van visitar una petita plaça acolorida amagada darrere d'una catedral, una llibreria encantadora amb llibres antics, i un mirador amb una vista impressionant de la ciutat.En: They visited a small colorful square hidden behind a cathedral, a charming bookstore with ancient books, and a viewpoint with an impressive view of the city.Ca: Amb cada lloc, Martí trobava una mica més de la seva pròpia ciutat, mentre Núria l'animava amb les seves històries de viatges.En: With each place, Martí discovered a bit more of his own city, while Núria encouraged him with her travel stories.Ca: Quan el sol començava a posar-se, van tornar al "Cafè Dels Somnis".En: As the sun began to set, they returned to the "Cafè Dels Somnis."Ca: Núria va agafar la seva maleta, plena de records i un nou amic.En: Núria grabbed her suitcase, full of memories and a new friend.Ca: Martí li va dir amb decisió: "Gràcies per avui, Núria.En: Martí decisively said to her, "Thank you for today, Núria.Ca: He decidit que viatjaré.En: I've decided that I will travel.Ca: M'has inspirat.En: You've inspired me."Ca: "Amb una abraçada, Núria es va dirigir a l'aeroport, sabent que deixava Barcelona havent experimentat la seva veritable essència, i Martí va començar a somiar amb els llocs que aviat coneixeria.En: With a hug, Núria headed to the airport, knowing she was leaving Barcelona having experienced its true essence, and Martí started dreaming of the places he would soon discover.Ca: Ambdós van prometre mantenir-se en contacte i compartir les seves futures aventures.En: They both promised to keep in touch and share their future adventures.Ca: Així, en aquell petit racó del Barri Gòtic, una inesperada connexió va transformar dues perspectives, deixant un record perennes del poder de les trobades casuals.En: Thus, in that small corner of the Barri Gòtic, an unexpected connection transformed two perspectives, leaving an everlasting memory of the power of casual encounters.

Curtis L. Harnagel is a creative polymath - a director, consultant, and producer whose career moves fluidly between live entertainment, multimedia, dance, art, and nonprofit worlds. A true pop-culture savant, Curtis carries decades of music knowledge, behind-the-scenes reasoning, and pedagogical wisdom from his perspective that apply across every industry. I first met Curtis on-site at a stunning fashion show fundraiser. I was hired as the shows Live-DJ while Curtis was the shows Music and Staging Director. After a few days of working with Curtis, I knew this was someone who sees a room from different angles. I asked him to join our collection of outlier teachers here on The Junkyard Love Podcast, we had nothing short of an excellent conversation.Armed with a degree in Radio, Television, and Film, Curtis's path has been a mosaic of lighting grand productions like Phantom of the Opera, sculpting award-winning dance performances, staging massive live events, and mentoring creative teams to greatness. He coined GESAMTCURTISWERK (“Total Work of Curtis”) to describe his craft. It's a philosophy that threads art, logistics, and human connection into something greater than the sum of its parts - a way of thinking that refuses to split art from logistics, communication from creation, or teaching from doing; it's all one interconnected, ever-evolving work: Curtis lives it. To top it off, his tagline? - "Turning Dreams Into Entertainment."In this episode, Curtis and I pull back the curtain on what it takes to knead, bake, and present large-scale creative projects with a true human touch. We talk about perception, the unspoken layers of communication, and how one thoughtful phrase can redirect an entire production. Curtis shares stories from the unpredictable trenches of live events - moments of tension, flashes of brilliance, and hail-mary's that knealed to the 'The show must go on'.We unravel wisdom passed down from influential teachers, explore the psychology of feedback and leadership, and examine how different minds approach creativity and problem-solving. We talk about the invisible threads that hold collaboration together, and how communication and listening can shape art, teams, and even lives.“GESAMTCURTISWERK  [guh-zahmt-kur-tis-verk] noun, German. 1.  "Total Work of Curtis"    A.  Gesamt - adj; total, overall  (German)    B.  Curtis - noun; English proper name of Anglo-Norman origin derived from the word courteous.    C.  Werk - verb; to work  (German) 2.  Derived from: Gesamtkunstwerk  [guh-zahmt-koo nst-verk]  noun, German    A.  German for "Total Work of Art" or "Synthesis of the Arts “Resources / Links:Website: www.gesamtcurtiswerk.comInstagram: @gesamtcurtiswerkYouTube: GESAMTCURTISWERKBold Journey Interview - https://boldjourney.com/meet-curtis-l-harnagel/Voyage Dallas Interview - https://voyagedallas.com/interview/conversations-with-curtis-l-harnagel/Canvas Rebel Interview - https://canvasrebel.com/meet-curtis-l-harnagel/DIFFA - 2025 theme trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gugNT39gHjwDIFFA website: https://www.diffadallas.org/hodDIFFA Instagram: @diffadallastxCheckout Curtis's official music playlist for Ep: 0116 Junkyard Love: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/06CsHwodO7jxWav75ieiX6?si=BI8KIR9qR5SbSsxODd3eeg&pi=lUYZBKGITUmCjQuotes:“Listening is the cornerstone of communication.

In this episode, Mike and Chloe take on Hollywood's wildest takes on swinging and non-monogamy. From Friends and Seinfeld to Eyes Wide Shut and Wanderlust, we break down how movies and TV shows have portrayed the lifestyle over the years. Some scenes had us laughing, others had us rolling our eyes, and a few actually hit pretty close to home. We're diving into the sexy, the strange, and the totally unrealistic, comparing media moments to real-life experiences in the lifestyle. Whether you've seen it all or are just starting to notice these tropes, this episode gives you a fun, honest look at how pop culture gets it right, wrong, and everything in between.

On this episode of Speaking of Travel, we're joined by the wise and luminous Judith Valente, an award-winning journalist, poet, and author of The Italian Soul: How to Savor the Full Joys of Life. Judith brings us into the soulful rhythms of Italy, a place that taught her to live not faster, but deeper. Drawing from her own transformation from the high-speed world of journalism to the stillness of contemplative life, Judith shares stories, insights, and practical wisdom for anyone yearning to slow down, savor life, and reconnect with what truly matters. With the heart of a seeker and the grace of a storyteller, she invites us to discover the beauty of doing less and being more with Italian style and soul. A must listen!

The hot weather couldn't keep Ashley and Zac away from the mics, so they're back with a summer “best of” series, featuring some of the most interesting and engaging interviews from the past few years. What does it mean to be a mystic in the modern age? Many of us think of mysticism as something for spiritual masters who lock themselves away from the world in monasteries and convents and dedicate their lives to constant prayer. But we are all called to a close and yes mystical relationship with God and to lead lives of contemplation. And today's guest, Kelly Deutsch, wants to help people do just that. After entering a convent, Kelly came down with an illness that left her bedridden for 18 months—and spurred great spiritual desolation and growth. She went on to found Wanderlust, a center for contemplative formation, which provides podcasts, courses and other spiritual resources to those hunger for a closer union with the divine.

In this deeply personal and inspiring episode, we welcome Liza Graves, founder of StyleBlueprint and a beloved leader in the lifestyle space, for a rich conversation about how travel has quietly and powerfully shaped her life. From the traditions she's built with family, to the friendships that have deepened over shared adventures, and even the very fabric of her professional journey, travel has been a guiding force for Liza both outwardly and inwardly.A true storyteller at heart and a curious soul by nature, Liza has built a career around connection, beauty, and discovery. Her passion for travel isn't about collecting stamps in a passport but rather about the people you meet, the moments that stay with you, and the perspective you carry home. Whether she's wandering the streets of a new city or finding wonder in the familiar rhythms of her own backyard, Liza shows us how curiosity, gratitude, and intention can turn every journey, whether near or far, into something transformative.This episode is more than a conversation.

"No et preocupis Oriol," va dir ella, "el GPS ho soluciona tot."En: Montserrat laughed while looking at her phone. "Don't worry Oriol," she said, "the GPS solves everything."Ca: Van començar la seva aventura entre les corbes i els colors del parc, esquivant turistes amb càmeres i nens jugant.En: They began their adventure among the curves and colors of the park, dodging tourists with cameras and children playing.Ca: Tot semblava anar bé, fins que, sobtadament, la pantalla del telèfon de Montserrat es va apagar; la bateria estava esgotada. "Ai no!", va exclamar Montserrat, amb els ulls grans. "Ara què farem?"En: Everything seemed to be going well, until suddenly, Montserrat's phone screen went dark; the battery was dead. "Oh no!" exclaimed Montserrat, with wide eyes. "Now what do we do?"Ca: Oriol, amb la seva optimista confiança, va decidir seguir el seu instint. "Confieu en mi, el meu sentit de l'orientació és infal·lible!", va dir, tot convençut.En: Oriol, with his optimistic confidence, decided to follow his instinct. "Trust me, my sense of direction is infallible!" he said, fully convinced.Ca: I així, van caminar endavant, girant a l'esquerra, després a la dreta, baixant unes escales i pujant-ne d'altres.En: And so, they walked on, turning left, then right, down some stairs and up others.Ca: Però després de quasi una hora caminant, superstosos i una mica suats, van donar voltes al mateix lloc.En: But after almost an hour of walking, superstitious and a little sweaty, they ended up circling the same spot.Ca: Finalment, Oriol va mirar Montserrat i va admetre la seva derrota. "Estem perduts", va dir, però amb el somriure encara als llavis.En: Finally, Oriol looked at Montserrat and admitted his defeat. "We're lost," he said, but with a smile still on his face.Ca: A l'horitzó, un grup d'artistes estava assegut, tocant música i bloquejant l'únic camí que semblava conduir a la figura del llangardaix.En: On the horizon, a group of artists was sitting, playing music and blocking the only path that seemed to lead to the lizard figure.Ca: En aquest punt, un artista local els va veure i, amb un riure amigable, els va preguntar si buscaven el famós llangardaix.En: At this point, a local artist saw them and, with a friendly laugh, asked if they were looking for the famous lizard.Ca: Després que Oriol i Montserrat expliquessin la seva aventura, el local els va indicar el camí correcte. "Just a temps per veure la posta de sol", va dir.En: After Oriol and Montserrat explained their adventure, the local pointed them in the right direction. "Just in time to see the sunset," he said.Ca: Gràcies a l'ajuda del local, Oriol i Montserrat van arribar finalment a l'estàtua, amb la llum daurada de l'hora màgica banyant el parc i quasi cap turista al voltant.En: Thanks to the local's help, Oriol and Montserrat finally reached the statue, with the golden light of the magic hour bathing the park and almost no tourists around.Ca: Oriol va fer la foto perfecta, i mentre l'enviava a un amic, Montserrat se'n va adonar que, potser, no tot es pot solucionar només amb tecnologia.En: Oriol took the perfect photo, and as he sent it to a friend, Montserrat realized that maybe not everything can be solved with technology alone.Ca: Al final, Oriol va aprendre que demanar indicacions pot ser un gest sàvi, i Montserrat va veure que una mica de confiança en el destí pot portar grans moments.En: In the end, Oriol learned that asking for directions can be a wise gesture, and Montserrat saw that a bit of faith in destiny can lead to great moments.Ca: Amb una rialla, els dos amics van deixar el parc, sabent que havien viscut una aventura memorable sota el cel estiuenc de Barcelona.En: With a laugh, the two friends left the park, knowing they had experienced a memorable adventure under the summer sky of Barcelona.

“I grew up with puppetry and voices and weird little characters. I never really let that go — I just found ways to turn it into a life.” - Nate Begle In this episode, we're joined by Nate - He's a voice actor and puppeteer with over two decades of experience in storytelling across stage, screen, and sound. His career has spanned live theme park shows, national commercials, animation, and narration work for over 30 audiobooks. Nate has collaborated with major creative institutions, including James Patterson, The Jim Henson Company, Walt Disney Entertainment, and Sesame Street. Deeply rooted in performance, character work, and voice, Nate brings a grounded and authentic presence to everything he creates. He allows the characters, not the performer, to take center stage.Nate and I nestle in for a tender, playful, and witty conversation about a life built around performance. We talk discovering creative purpose early, navigating years of invisible work, and learning how to keep showing up for the craft even when no one is watching.We talk about his roots in Midwest community theater, how Fraggle Rock cracked open a lifelong fascination with puppetry, and the reality of building a career from bits and odd jobs to full-time creative expression. Along the way, we dive into themes like staying grounded while performing, the therapeutic power of play, self-belief in the face of doubt, and the surprising joy of working just off-camera.From humor and nostalgia to identity and intention, this conversation brings small insights that build into something honest, warm, and very real.More notable quotes from the episode:- “A lot of people think voiceover is just ‘talking,' but it's not. It's acting. It's truth-telling. It's intention.”- “It's like, if you see something that's not available where you're at - then make it.”- “There's a moment where you stop trying to get it perfect and start asking if it feels true. That's when you know you're doing the work.”For more on Nate Begle, head over to his IMDB here: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm4662429/Checkout Nates website here: https://www.natebegle.com/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@NateBegleLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nate-begle-785155bb/Hit subscribe, we'll see ya next episode.

What if planning your next adventure felt more like a conversation with a trusted friend than a checklist? In this episode of Speaking of Travel, I'm joined by Anna Jaffe and Harriet Brown of Mobi.AI, a powerful new platform reimagining travel planning through the lens of empathy, technology, and storytelling. This is more than a travel episode. It's a love letter to curiosity, to wandering with purpose, and to a future where your travel tools know you crave hidden bookstores just as much as beach sunsets. Together we explore how AI is helping travelers find what really speaks to them beyond the filters and search engines and how this deeply personal approach is changing the way we explore the world. Anna and Harriet share why travel planning is so complex and so human and how AI tools are learning what you love and helping you discover more of it. This is a conversation about possibility, connection, and the beautiful future of travel where technology listens, learns, and helps us find joy in the journey. So if you've ever dreamed of travel planning that actually gets you, tune in. You'll hear about the tech, the heart, and the hope behind a smarter way to see the world.

lucente, mentre remava dolcemente tra le acque calme.En: Lorenzo stood on his gondola, the shiny black boat, while he rowed gently through the calm waters.It: Accanto a lui, Giulia sedeva una piccola panchina di legno, sognando ad occhi aperti.En: Next to him, Giulia sat on a small wooden bench, daydreaming.It: "Fratello," disse Giulia con un sorriso, "Ti vedo sempre felice qui, ma so che vuoi

forte.En: He loved Venezia, but the desire to travel was strong.It: "Sofia dice che c'è tanta bellezza qui," iniziò Lorenzo, pensando alla sua amica e guida turistica esperta.En: "Sofia says there is

quel momento, mentre passavano sotto uno dei ponti di pietra, Sofia salutò dalla riva.En: Just at that moment, as they passed under one of the stone bridges, Sofia waved from the shore.It: "Buongiorno, amici miei!"En: "Good morning, my friends!"It: esclamò, avvicinandosi con passo agile.En: she exclaimed, approaching with a spry step.It: "Vedo che il cielo è sereno, perfetto per una nuova avventura, no?"En: "I see the sky is clear, perfect for a new adventure, isn't it?"It: Lorenzo fermò la gondola e alzò lo sguardo verso Sofia, sapendo che lei conosceva bene le sue inquietudini.En: Lorenzo stopped the gondola and looked up at Sofia, knowing that she understood his restlessness well.It: "Sofia," iniziò, "cosa faresti se avessi la possibilità di esplorare il mondo, ma ti sentissi legato da responsabilità qui?"En: "Sofia," he began, "what would you do if you had the chance to explore the world, but felt tied down by responsibilities here?"It: Sofia sorrise saggiamente.En: Sofia smiled wisely.It: "Lorenzo, Venezia sarà sempre qui.En: "Lorenzo, Venezia will always be here.It: Non perdere il tuo sogno.En: Don't lose your dream.It: Puoi sempre tornare a casa con storie e ricordi, e nel frattempo, sarai più ricco di esperienze."En: You can always come back home with stories and memories, and in the meantime, you'll be richer in experiences."It: Quelle parole risuonarono profondamente in Lorenzo.En: Those words resonated deeply with Lorenzo.It: Le acque tranquille sembravano ora riflettere nuove speranze.En: The tranquil waters now seemed to reflect new hopes.It: Lorenzo sentì il peso dell'angoscia sollevarsi un poco, lasciando spazio a un pizzico di eccitazione.En: Lorenzo felt the weight of his anguish lift a little, making room for a spark of excitement.It: "Sai una cosa?"En: "You know what?"It: disse Lorenzo, rivolgendosi a Giulia e Sofia.En: said Lorenzo, addressing Giulia and Sofia.It: "Ho deciso di fare un breve viaggio.En: "I've decided to take a short trip.It: Non troppo lontano, ma abbastanza per scoprire qualcosa di nuovo.En: Not too far, but enough to discover something new.It: Prometto che tornerò presto."En: I promise I'll come back soon."It: Giulia applaudì e Sofia annuì con incoraggiamento.En: Giulia clapped and Sofia nodded with encouragement.It: "Sì, Lorenzo.En: "Yes, Lorenzo.It: Scopri il mondo," disse sua sorella con gioia negli occhi.En: Discover the world," his sister said with joy in her eyes.It: "E portaci storie incredibili quando tornerai."En: "And bring us incredible stories when you return."It: Mentre Lorenzo proseguiva lungo i canali, sentì un senso di libertà che non provava da tempo.En: As Lorenzo continued along the canals, he felt a sense of freedom he hadn't experienced in a long time.It: Era pronto per una nuova avventura, sapendo che avrebbe sempre avuto una casa a Venezia.En: He was ready for a new adventure, knowing he would always have a home in Venezia.It: Sorrise al pensiero del futuro, mentre il sole estivo continuava a baciare la città eterna con la sua luce dorata.En: He smiled at the thought of the future, while the summer sun kept kissing the eternal city

Jeff Krasno, co-founder of Commune and Wanderlust, returns for his third appearance on the show with one of his most personal and transformative stories yet.Despite leading two of the most influential wellness platforms in the world, Jeff found himself battling brain fog, chronic fatigue, weight gain, and even pre-diabetes. He had access to the best health experts and cutting-edge protocols—but like so many of us, he had normalized what he now calls a “patently abnormal” way of living.That all changed when he strapped on a continuous glucose monitor and saw the numbers for himself.In this episode, Jeff shares how he used what he calls “Good Stress”—simple, intentional challenges like cold exposure, time-restricted eating, walking, and resistance training—to lose 60 pounds, sleep better, regain his focus, and feel more alive than he had in years.This isn't a conversation about biohacking or quick fixes. It's about realignment—learning how to live in harmony with how the human body was actually designed to function.Listeners will come away with practical tools they can implement immediately, along with a new understanding of why modern comfort is quietly making us sick—and how to reverse that trend with small, consistent shifts.Whether you're feeling stuck, tired, or out of sync with your health, this episode offers a refreshing and actionable perspective on what it really means to feel well.Send us a text message. We'd love to hear from you!

In this episode, Light Watkins sits down with Sean Hoess, co-founder of Wanderlust—the global wellness festival that once redefined how people experienced yoga, music, and community. Sean shares his winding journey from burnt-out New York City lawyer to record label co-founder, and eventually to the unlikely creator of a worldwide movement focused on mindfulness and well-being.But what happens when your dream job starts to feel like just another grind?Sean gets real about the pressures of scaling a purpose-driven company, the quiet warning signs that something's off, and the emotional toll of watching your creation grow beyond your control. He opens up about the moment he realized success didn't always equal fulfillment—and how a global pandemic forced him to stop, look around, and ask a question most people avoid: “Why am I actually here?”The conversation explores how childhood patterns of self-reliance and creativity shaped Sean's resilience, how deep friendships can evolve into business partnerships, and why it's so easy to confuse growth with progress. He also shares what it was like navigating a professional split from his best friend and co-founder, and how that pain ultimately became the catalyst for something new: Eudemonia—a wellness summit that brings together scientists, spiritual leaders, and curious seekers in pursuit of a life well-lived.If you've ever wondered what to do when your mission starts to drain you instead of inspire you, or how to realign when your purpose begins to shift, this episode is for you.Send us a text message.

Episode 224!You can also read our blog on the Port Angeles site here: https://www.visitportangeles.com/roam-with-the-roamies-as-they-explore-port-angeles-on-a-winter-vacation/As well as our previous 2 episodes to catch up with all our stories from  the Olympic Peninsula to inspire you to create your own stories on YOUR adventure there!  Waterfalls have a way of taking your breath away. Just ask Alexa, who fondly recalls being literally breathless when turning a corner during a Swiss hike to discover a magnificent cascade appearing out of nowhere. That magical moment sparked a passion that led us on an unforgettable journey through Washington's Olympic Peninsula, armed with nothing but a waterfall brochure and an appetite for natural wonder.The peninsula reveals itself as a wonderland of diverse cascades, each with its own distinct personality. Near Port Angeles, we discovered Madison Falls, a peaceful 60-foot drop nestled in a mossy grove perfect for quiet contemplation, and Marymere Falls, where a winding trail through ancient forest rewards hikers with a spectacular 90-foot waterfall. Venturing into the Hoh Rainforest transported us to an otherworldly landscape where everything drips with moisture and vibrant green moss hangs like curtains from towering trees. Here, smaller cascades like Mineral Creek Falls reveal themselves along misty trails, surrounded by the greenest forest floor imaginable.The Quinault Rainforest offered its own waterfall treasures, from roadside-accessible Merriman Falls to the wild beauty of Bunch Creek Falls with its dramatic 60-foot drop over rocky ledges. Though we couldn't make the 13-mile trek to the legendary "Valley of 10,000 Waterfalls" in Enchanted Valley, it's firmly on our bucket list for our next peninsula adventure. For waterfall chasers planning their own Olympic Peninsula journey, we recommend visiting during spring snowmelt or rainy months for maximum flow, and don't miss coastal falls like Strawberry Bay where cascades meet the sea at low tide. Whether you're an avid hiker seeking backcountry wonders or prefer easy access viewing points, the Olympic Peninsula's waterfalls will leave you, like us, a little more in love with the natural world.

What if stress wasn’t your enemy—but your most underutilized superpower? In this deeply inspiring episode, Angela sits down with Jeff Krasno—co-founder of Wanderlust and Commune and author of Good Stress—to explore the revolutionary idea that the right kind of stress can become your greatest ally in health, healing, and personal transformation. Jeff shares his raw and relatable journey from burnout and pre-diabetes to total life realignment—using fasting, breathwork, spiritual philosophy, and muscle building not just to lose 70 pounds but to become the man, father, and leader he always knew he could be. This conversation is packed with actionable tools, soulful perspective shifts, and the science-meets-spirit strategies to help you realign your body, your mind, and your mission—starting today. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Wellness Is a Process, Not a Product: True health is found in dynamic balance—not perfection—and it evolves moment by moment. You Are Not Your Story: Jeff explains how spiritual and scientific insights helped him break free from old identity patterns and emotional eating. The Power of Good Stress: Fasting, cold therapy, strength training, and tough conversations can all act as ‘positive stressors’ that build resilience and growth. Muscle: Your Metabolic Powerhouse: Muscle isn’t just for strength—it’s a hormone-secreting, glucose-clearing organ that supports mood, metabolism, and brain health. Reclaiming Food Freedom with Fasting: Jeff shares how intermittent fasting helped him pause emotional cravings and reconnect to choice and presence. The Art of Stressful Conversations: Learn Jeff’s powerful tools for emotional regulation and true connection—like steel manning, sonder, and active listening.
