This week I spoke to Brendan Francis Newnam, host of the travel podcast Not Lost. We talk about how he made the show and I picked out a few clips that particularly landed with me, including the balance between sharing vulnerably and holding back, how our trauma impacts our openness to relationships, and thoughts on loneliness, rejection, and connection.

This week I spoke with Buck Meek, a singer, songwriter, guitarist, and founding member of the band Big Thief. During our conversation, Buck talks about his songwriting process and shares how his love of surfing relates to music. We also talk about his childhood and musical influences, the reality of life on the road, the magic of musical collaboration, and more.

This week I talk to Aileen Xu a content creator and entrepreneur in creativity, personal growth, and lifestyle design. We met years ago when she had me on her podcast and met up when I visited LA. In this episode we catch up and talk candidly about the overlap in challenges with lacking confidence in work, astrology including Saturn returns, turning 30 and getting older.
