I've always wanted to start a podcast. After a health scare that forced me to pause take a hard look at my life and rethink what actually matters. I don’t have all the answers but I do believe in the power of reflection and honest conversations. This podcast will be centered around moments of inspiration, impactful connections, and a focus on being better. Each episode will consist of something that caught my attention recently, an interview or impactful topic, and engagement with listeners (call and text in). No gurus. No perfection. Just honest stories lessons learned the hard way and reminders to enjoy the ride while we’re on it.

These weren’t just good reads, they challenged my assumptions, reframed how I see obstacles, and reminded me what actually matters when things get hard. Each book offered something different: discipline, perspective, resilience, humility, and clarity. Together, they’ve influenced how I show up at work, at home, and in my own head. The books: Atomic Habits – James Clear You Are a Badass – Jen Sincero The Four Agreements – Don Miguel Ruiz Mindset – Carol Dweck Grit – Angela Duckworth The Energy Bus – Jon Gordon The Obstacle Is the Way – Ryan Holiday The Tattooist of Auschwitz – Heather Morris Man’s Search for Meaning – Viktor Frankl The Last Lecture – Randy Pausch Tuesdays with Morrie – Mitch Albom La Tienda - Felipe Munoz Takeaways - Small habits, repeated daily, shape who we become. - How we interpret challenges often matters more than the challenge itself. - Meaning, purpose, and perspective can carry us through even the hardest moments. If you’ve read any of these, or have a book that changed your perspective, I’d love to hear which one and why. Like. Comment.
