Overcoming The Mountain

Just some updates since my last episode.

This episode features Cara as our first guest appearance. If all goes well we'll get her back on the show more often. This is also the longest episode, so far, sitting around an hour-45. So sit back and get comfortable as we talk about our own experiences, setbacks, and breakthroughs with learning how to better communicate and how it's affected our lives. As always, feel free to share your own experiences in the comments section. Thanks everyone!

In this episode, we ask the question: What do you want to be in life? For some, the answer is simple: I want to be ______ (insert something here). The answer is probably a lot more complex than just a quick conversation could cover for others. And for some, they probably don't even have a clue. What about you? What do you want to be?

Original release date: Sept 13, 2020 With September being National Suicide Prevention month and so many of us being affected by suicide I decided to kind of dedicate this episode to how I personally cope with setbacks and terrible times in my life. I've struggled most of my life for many of you who don't know. Not to say that I've had it any worse than any of you guys, just for me life has been difficult. Also wanted to point out I filmed this on September 11th, halfway through an 8-mile hike. Part of it was in remembrance, part because hiking and the wilderness is where I go to clear my head. Being human is hard. If you're feeling suicidal, please reach out to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255, available 24 hours every day (chat & text available too).

As some know, I recently (Sep2020) went through an engagement breakup. This is just me working through that by camping, talking out loud, and meeting new people.
