"I used to think communication was key until I realised comprehension is.

You can communicate all you want to someone, but if they don't understand you, it won't reach them the way you need it to."

The Western Mysteries: Vision Quest
Find Your Purpose in Life

Have you ever felt unsure about your direction in life?

Most of us reach a point where we want something more. A sense of purpose, a clear path, or a deeper understanding.

There’s not one particular path that if you don’t do it, it’s not going to work. If you can do anything that helps you get up a little bit: that’s the best thing you can do.

Finding Your Anchor Through Life Chaotic Phases

When life throws us into chaos through major transitions, how do we find our way back to ourselves? That’s the question at the heart of this deeply personal episode where I open up about my recent experiences navigating multiple upheavals – moving from Kentucky to San Antonio and then immediately jumping into a temporary duty assignment.

Through this whirlwind of change, I discovered something profound about stability: it’s not about trying to recreate your old normal in new circumstances. It’s about identifying the sacred habits that anchor your identity regardless of where you are or what’s happening around you. For me, this meant stripping everything back to just three core practices: physical exercise for mental clarity, writing for creative nourishment, and reading as my escape hatch from stress.

The journey wasn’t straightforward. It required intentional self-reflection, kindness toward myself, and consistently quieting that counterproductive inner voice that wanted me to give up. I share the uncomfortable truth of how it took a full week of feeling low before I could motivate myself to restart these habits, and how I had to be both gentle and firm with myself to maintain them. 

Whether you’re in military life facing PCS moves, or navigating any major life transition, this episode offers practical wisdom for rebuilding your sense of self one sacred habit at a time. Stability isn’t a fixed destination we reach once and for all – it’s something we actively cultivate day by day, especially during seasons of change. What habits anchor you when everything else is in flux?

We’re constantly told to chase ‘optimal’ lifestyles – minimalism, hustle culture, FIRE, etc. But what does science actually say about which lifestyle delivers the most health and happiness?
Spoiler: The answer is more nuanced than influencers suggest.

I analyzed 20+ studies on longevity, mental health, and life satisfaction.
