I missed the ferry.

My first thought could have been, Well, there goes the plan. Instead, I found myself wondering: what if this isn’t an interruption to my day? What if this is my day?

We spend so much time thinking we know how things are supposed to unfold. But we really don’t. And there’s something wonderfully freeing about that.

So I sat by the ocean, made this vlog, and wondered what else the day might have in store.

And I Thought I Could Plan…

And I Thought I Could Plan We’re very good at making plans. Calendars, appointments, deadlines, expectations. And then… you miss the ferry. It got me thinking about how much energy we spend resisting what actually is because it doesn’t match what we thought was supposed to happen. There’s power in being able to shift ...

Quick Fixes
How many quick fixes have you chased this week? A shortcut. A distraction. A little hit of relief. We're surrounded by promises that life can be easier, faster, and effortless. But what if those "solutions" are actually keeping us stuck? Join us as we wrestle with why the long road so often leads to the life we really want... because the view from the top is always worth the climb.

Fear rarely announces itself. It just sort of… creeps in. And before I know it, I’ve gone from trusting life to worrying about all the things that could possibly go wrong. 😬

This week I’m wondering if faith is a little like fitness—if we want it to be there when we need it, we actually have to practice it.
The Insidious Nature of Fear — have a listen.

The Insidious Nature of Fear We practice to improve in all kinds of ways—fitness, leadership, communication, our work. But what about faith? I’ve been noticing how quickly fear can creep back in when I stop consciously practicing trust in life. And with the steady stream of things we’re given to worry about, fear certainl...

Should We Plan?
YouTube Channel: Rumbling Toward Revolution

Planning for the future seems like common sense—but what if we've taken it much further than we realize? In this conversation, we explore why our minds are so obsessed with tomorrow, how fear quietly disguises itself as "being responsible," and whether all our planning is actually keeping us from fully living today. It's an honest, curious rumble about trust, presence, and what might happen if we loosened our grip on the future just a little.

Obsessed with Self-Improvement?
It's a strange question, isn't it?

We're surrounded by messages telling us to become a better version of ourselves. Read another book. Listen to another podcast. Fix one more thing.

But what if all that striving is distracting us from something we've had all along?

This week's vlog began with a walk through an old-growth forest and ended with a question I haven't been able to shake. I'd love to know what you think.�

Obsessed with Self Improvement? Personal growth has become an industry. We're encouraged to optimize, improve, and become a better version of ourselves every day. But what if the constant pursuit of improvement is causing us to overlook something essential? In this week's vlog, I explore a different perspective—one inspired by a...

Why does it sometimes feel like negativity is everywhere? Is it just the world we live in… or is something deeper going on? In this episode of we wander through a conversation about human nature, the stories we inherit, and a surprisingly simple practice that can quietly change the way we experience life. No preaching. No easy answers. Just two curious minds rumbling toward a different way of seeing.

Negativity Overload Why does it sometimes feel like negativity is everywhere? Is it jus...

How many times has your heart quietly whispered, "Go this way," only for your mind to jump in with a list of reasons why you shouldn't?

I've been experimenting with listening to that quieter voice a little more often. The results have surprised me in the best possible way.

This week's vlog is an invitation to wonder what might happen if, just once in a while, you let your heart go first.

Heart First, Mind Later.

Heart First, Mind Later We often celebrate logic, strategy, and careful planning. They're valuable. But some of the best opportunities in my life have begun with something much quieter—a feeling that simply said, "Go this way." This week's vlog explores the balance between intuition and intellect, and why making room for...
