There's No Payoff For Grinding

We’ve been sold the idea that fulfillment is something we get after enough "grinding." But that's just mortgaging your well-being for an unguaranteed future – and it's a losing bet. "What does 'rest' look like to you when it’s a daily practice rather than a future reward?"

Enough With The Whole "Nobility In Misery" Thing

Many of us were raised to believe that enduring misery is a sign of character, but sacrificing your well-being for a situation that doesn't serve you is not a virtue. What are you doing out of a sense of duty or nobility that you could just... stop doing?

Quitting Is Also An Option

Ever stayed in a job, a relationship, or a book club just because you felt bad leaving? This episode breaks down the cultural stigma of walking away and explains why choosing your sanity over "loyalty" is the ultimate act of self-trust. What we talk about in this episode: T

Vehicle Barrier Plan for Pike Place Market Comes Into View – The Urbanist

The Seattle Department of Transportation has unveiled early designs for a temporary access management pilot at Pike Place Market, intended to enhance safety and security ahead of the FIFA Men's World Cup. The plan includes the use of planters, barricades, and bollards to restrict non-essential vehicle access, with a focus on protecting pedestrians. The proposal has sparked debate among Market stakeholders, particularly regarding the placement of bollards and the need for 'street closed' signage. The initiative is seen as a crucial step to prevent potential incidents during the World Cup, with the possibility of refining the strategy for future permanent infrastructure.

Embrace The Messy Middle

Fulfillment isn’t found by avoiding struggle, it’s a result of building the internal systems to honestly assess the current moment, embrace the messiness – and it’s so messy right now – and choose to move forward with positivity. Are you waiting for the world to get easier, or

Potential delay in release of "New Siri"

I sure hope this isn't the case. I know Apple wants / needs to "get it right," but Siri is so far from "right" right now that it's virtually unusable. I don't know how much longer I can stand having respond "I found some results on your phone!" when I ask it to pause music. 🤣

Stop Waiting For "Ready"

We often ignore the tools already in our hands because we've been taught to wait until we feel fully prepared. But if we've learned anything from the challenging timeline we're in, it's that the "perfect time" is a myth and the world is more fragile than we once thought. In th

Suggestion - Photos Should Include High Level Details About the Hike
