Pat isn't a biohacker or wellness guru, he's a former Nikon sales rep who quietly stumbled into a life of longevity through meditation, community, creativity, and presence.Pat shares the story of how a career move from New York to Massachusetts in 1972 led him to daily meditation, a practice he's kept for over 50 years. He talks about quitting smoking at 62 using a surprisingly simple mindset shift, the grief of outliving so many friends, and what it means to still feel connected and purposeful at nearly 90.Lauren and Pat also explore his extraordinary "art diary," a handmade calendar project he's maintained since 1972, filled with drawings, collage, and dry humor that documents the texture of daily life. Pat reflects honestly on death, the afterlife, regret, and the wisdom he'd offer anyone trying to live well.This is a heartfelt conversation about aging, meaning, and the small things that quietly add up to a long, full life.

Tune into the newest episode of our Energy Works Podcast, where science meets spirit to help you heal, energize, and thrive. In this Big Ideas episode, Lauren welcomes author and intuition teacher Hilary McCann Crowley for an expansive conversation about what intuition really is and how it relates to consciousness.Hilary traces the word intuition back to its roots as an “inner tutor,” explaining that everyone has intuitive capacity, but each person experiences and relates to it differently. She also explores an important ethical principle in intuitive work: respecting another person’s inner authority rather than projecting fear, shame, or certainty onto them.Along the way, she shares a memorable everyday example, reflects on ancestors, spirit, and the possibility of consciousness existing everywhere. Hilary offers a refreshing perspective on developing intuition which consists of not dissecting it, but instead, giving ourselves permission and unlearning what blocks it.This episode is an invitation to reconsider intuition not as something mystical or exclusive, but as a natural part of being human that becomes clearer when we slow down, listen, and trust our inner guide.

Lauren catches up with travel writer Will McGough more than a decade after they met on a ski trip to Portillo, Chile. What starts as a story about skiing shifts into something bigger: memory, grief, ethics, and the tricky line between telling a good story and protecting what’s worth protecting.Will shares how covering the Virginia Tech shooting early in his journalism career shook his belief in the news cycle and pushed him toward something with more life in it: travel writing. Since then, he’s written for CNN, Outside, and dozens of others, carrying both curiosity and a sense of responsibility into every piece. He’s reported from Antarctica, dragged skis through remote villages, built a kombucha company, and wrestled with what it means to write about places that are being loved to death.This is a conversation about the stories we choose to tell, the ones we can’t forget, and the ones we carry even when we think we’ve left them behind.Topics include: • The ethics of writing about “hidden gems” • Skiing culture, then vs. now • Why Portillo still matters • Grieving a parent, and what Antarctica had to do with that • How kombucha fits into all of this • What good journalism should actually do • Writing as a way to remember, and to make sense of things that don’tYou can learn more about Will at www.wakeandwander.com

Our energy doesn’t just dip as we age, it gradually depletes. That lingering fatigue, low back tension, brittle bones, or quiet undercurrent of fear might not be random symptoms. In this solo episode, Blaine gets personal about the Water Element in Traditional Chinese Medicine and why it plays a central role in how we age. This isn’t a lecture on drinking more water (though that’s part of it). It’s an invitation to consider how your body's shifts might be connected to something deeper, and what it means to tend to the source instead of chasing the symptoms.Listen in if you’ve ever wondered- Why am I so tired even when I rest?- What does TCM have to do with aging?- Is there a connection between bladder issues and burnout?- What the heck is Jing, and do I need more of it?In this episodeBlaine shares three metaphors that reframe aging through the Water Element.She breaks down how kidney and bladder energy affect your bones, brain, and emotional steadiness.You’ll get practical ideas for food, movement, and daily choices that don’t drain your well.Let this one be the gentle nudge to stop pushing so hard and start listening a little closer.
