Ep 108 - Sailing the Spectrum of Routine and Risk

Why do we cling to routines—and still crave something new? Why do we want to feel special—but not alone? In this episode, we’re talking about the paradoxes of being human—and what happens when our needs pull us in opposite directions. Erik and I unpack how to: Balance comfort and adventure Find significance without chasing applause Understand the deeper needs behind our choices If you've ever felt torn between sticking with what you know and reaching for something more, this episode is for you. Because sometimes, understanding why we need what we need… is what sets us free. Welcome to the What Could Go Right? Podcast. We’re your hosts: Erik Orton and Emily Orton. We talk about personal growth and sailing. In 2014, with little experience and less money, we bootstrapped a year on a sailboat with our five kids and it changed our lives forever. We tell the whole story in our book Seven at Sea. On this podcast, we want to help you go from fear to freedom one adventure at a time. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rate. Review.
