  • It's A Wonderful Memory - Nostalgia and the Digital Age Life Lessons Pt. 7
    Dec 30 2024

    Send me a message

    Have you ever wondered why some cultural touchstones seem to vanish with each passing generation? At a recent holiday gathering, I was caught off guard when a trivia game revealed that many hadn't seen the timeless classic "It's a Wonderful Life." This revelation sparked a deeper reflection on how the curiosity to explore the past through influential films, books, and TV shows might be waning. Join us as we recount personal stories of how these cultural landmarks played pivotal roles in shaping our understanding of the world. We ponder whether this generational disconnect is a symptom of the digital age or a natural progression in our ever-evolving cultural landscape.

    Reflecting on the past year, we extend heartfelt wishes for a joyous and secure New Year, encouraging all to embrace life's uncertainties with boldness and reminding you that you're not alone in this adventure.
    Listen in for a blend of nostalgia, insight, and a celebration of the shared human experience that transcends generations.

  • Empathy and Isolation: Life Lessons Part 5
    Nov 26 2024

    Send me a message

    What if empathy was your secret superpower? Join me on this special episode as I share personal reflections on the profound lessons aging imparts, including how learning to view the world through others' eyes can transform relationships and diffuse conflicts. Over the years, I've come to realize that empathy isn't just about understanding others—it's about questioning our assumptions and recognizing our roles in the challenges we face. By sharing anecdotes from my own journey, I hope to inspire you to cultivate this skill, fostering deeper connections and making our divided world feel a little less isolating.

    We also pay tribute to the late Marina Keegan, whose collection "The Opposite of Loneliness" challenges us to reconsider the barriers that keep us from truly connecting with one another. Her poignant essays continue to resonate, urging us to embrace our shared humanity and the power of empathy to alleviate loneliness. Her insights remind us that true human connection is about more than love or community; it's about knowing we're all in this together, even when times are tough.

    NOTE: Quotes used in this episode are from the essays of Marina Keegan as published in the Yale Daily News and the book, The Opposite of Loneliness: Essays and Stories by Marina Keegan, Emily Woo Zeller, et al.
