Hello, my friends. This episode is a little unusual, given the unprecedented circumstances we are currently facing. It’s officially been 2 years and 3 months since I moved from Melbourne to New York City – and it’s certainly had its adjustments. Every day, I wake up to the sounds of the city and the crowds filling it up. But, over the last few weeks, the city’s changed. With COVID-19 pushing the world to make some drastic changes in a very short period of time to keep everyone safe, it’s more important than ever to stay grounded. Take a listen to figure out what keeps you grounded during this time of uncertainty.

Sometimes it’s the pursuit of your dream job, providing for your family, or just creating space to enjoy that first sip of coffee in the morning. For David Frangioni, it was drumming.

Think about the last time you posted a picture on Instagram. Did you take the picture at a specific flattering angle, add a filter or two, or even edit parts of your body to appear different than they really are? What’s fascinating about this process is that we all know we do it, yet we still judge ourselves critically when it comes to how we look. When we’re not satisfied, we then move on to look at other people’s photos. Chances are, they’ve probably done the same thing—and yet we continue to compare ourselves to that idealized image. Society is focused on showing off young, beautiful individuals; it convinces us that we need the anti-aging cream or the extra filter. But really, aging is a beautiful experience. In this episode, we talk about the gracefulness, beauty, and wisdom that comes with aging. Aging shouldn’t be resisted or feared—it should be embraced and bring you joy. Tune in to start embracing the wisdom that we’ve accumulated in the last 10 years. Some Questions I Ask: - How do we create joy in challenging times? (3:39) - What’s your morning routine? (6:28) - Talk to me about when you began exploring aging as a process of growth and wisdom. (8:33) - What is your personal definition of happiness? (20:03) - Tell me about your new book.

How do you need to grow? Exposing the areas in your life that you need to grow in can be incredibly vulnerable. Society expects that we have all things figured out all the time, but that’s just not how life works. Growth is a fundamental part of the human experience, but growth means that at some point you must accept that you don’t have things all figured out—and that’s okay. On this episode, I talk with Adam King all about growth. We both share personal stories about learning how to take care of ourselves, set boundaries, and what we’ve learned along the path. Adam also shares the biggest lessons he’s learned from his parents, about self-care, and what makes a great leader. Tune in to learn more about Adam King’s growth mindset.
