In this special episode of Regenerative Mindset, I sit down with my greatest cheerleader, sailing mate, and favorite 97-year-old, my dad, Hugh Warnock. With his unique optimism and wisdom earned over nearly a century, Hugh reflects on a life rich in love, resilience, and adventure.He shares stories from his Los Angeles childhood, including growing up in a family of six, his memorable runaway attempt with his dog Boy, and discovering a deep spiritual connection in the Sierra Nevada mountains—a place he fondly calls his “church.” Hugh also recounts his lifelong love of sailing and how the Pacific Ocean offered him peace and purpose.As a devoted "girl dad," Hugh discusses how raising three daughters brought him joy and perspective, always encouraging us to dream big while keeping our cars and rooms clean—a true reflection of his pragmatic and playful spirit. He opens up about pivotal moments in his life, like overcoming childhood illness by discovering the healing power of food, making the transformative decision to quit drinking at 50, and the secrets behind 70 years of a happy, enduring marriage with the woman of his dreams.Join us for an intimate and heartfelt conversation as we explore Hugh’s reflections on nature, resilience, love, and the wisdom that has guided him through a remarkable life.For more information on the podcast, upcoming events, projects, and more go to our website www.stacypulice.comYou can follow us on Instagram @stacypulice
