In this solo episode, I share a real and honest update on what’s been unfolding in my life, my work, and the Loving Forward community.

I’m gearing up for a trip, and after months of deep creation and output, I feel a sense of stepping into a new chapter—one that includes slowing down, finding balance, and allowing space for restoration. I talk about my decision to shift the podcast to a biweekly rhythm and why honoring that shift feels important.

With an upcoming trip to Guatemala, I reflect on the power of stepping out of our normal environments—how travel brings us into presence, reconnects us to the magic of life, and creates space for both connection through intentional disconnection.

I also open up about my own patterns—especially around over-giving—and how I’m learning to trust that my presence is enough. There’s a deeper layer here around wounds becoming gifts, and what it means to truly live in alignment with the work I’m here to do.

Along the way, I share updates on:– The Breath of Awakening 6-week program– Upcoming free breathwork webinars– The evolution of a men’s work offering here in Eugene– My continued passion for shadow work and breathwork as tools for transformation

This episode is a reflection on transition, integration, and the courage to listen inward—even when it asks you to slow down.

If you’re navigating your own shifts, closing chapters, or feeling the call to reconnect with yourself… this one’s for you.
