As Father’s Day and summer break approach, I’m reflecting on this season of life, and revisiting the idea of Surthrival, the space between surviving and thriving. If you’re navigating a surthrival season of your own, this episode is for you!In this episode, I’m exploring the different seasons of adulthood: building in my twenties, proving in my thirties, and maintaining in my forties. From marathon recovery to family life, I’m sharing why maintaining what matters may be one of life’s most meaningful pursuits.
