I’ve spent over 20 years studying the emotions and experiences that bring meaning and purpose to our lives, and if there’s one thing I’ve learned it’s this: we are hardwired for connection, and connecting requires courage, vulnerability, and conversation. I want this to be a podcast that’s real, unpolished, honest, and reflects both the magic and the messiness of what it means to be human. Episodes will include conversations with the people who are teaching me, challenging me, confusing me, ...

It was the deadliest string of shark attacks the world has ever seen. In 2011, sharks in Réunion, a beautiful island, way out in the Indian Ocean started biting people way more than ever before and with lunatic violence. The epidemic forced local surfers, politicians, and business owners into a proxy war with ocean lovers and conservationists worldwide, where long simmering tensions boiled over. Réunion: Shark Attacks in Paradise is the story of what happened on this beautiful island, and t ...

For most of us, our immediate reply is “no.” Yes, we even think “no” because our brains are so good at coming up with reasons for why we can’t do things. I can’t take time off work. I have to do a mountain of laundry. I don’t feel good in any of my going-out outfits. This is just another example of how we put our lives on hold for One Day When… we’re thinner, richer, smarter, or whatever criticism we’re feeling particularly strongly that day. What does it mean to say “yes” to life — to surrender to what is! Can you, truly, say “yes” to life?
