Stop Taking Yourself So Seriously

from Simple Joe

Welcome to Simple Joe. I’m glad you’re here. On today’s episode of Simple Joe, I kick off November by talking about why we need to stop taking ourselves so seriously. After sharing the fun fact that a group of flamingos is called a flamboyance, I dive into a lighthearted reminder that nobody’s paying as much attention to us as we think—they’re too busy living their own lives. I give weather updates for the Isle of Wight in the UK and my hometown, Cincinnati, and celebrate All Saints’ Day, World Vegan Day, National Cinnamon Day, and National Calzone Day, and highlight birthdays like David Foster, Lyle Lovett, and Tim Cook. From laughter and humility to dancing in the street, this episode is all about letting go of ego, finding joy in imperfection, and remembering that memories are better than stuff.
