A single Tom Petty track sets the tone for an hour of clear-eyed honesty: peace after pain, joy after heat, and the quiet power of calling “good” truly enough. We start with music and memory, then lace up for a blistering Hood to Coast—200 miles in record temperatures that teach teamwork, humility, and how laughter survives a smelly van. From there, we meet lifelong runners who redefine endurance, keep score by joy as much as pace, and remind us that saying yes can reshape a season.The conversation widens into real life pivots: cutting way back on alcohol and feeling mornings return, holding space for a father in hospice with congestive heart failure, and finding a family rhythm that honors both grief and gratitude. We challenge hustle culture head-on—why productivity isn’t worth, how “good enough” soothes the nervous system, and what it looks like to track the wins you can’t see when your job is putting out fires. Practical tools land fast: eat the frog early, protect PTO, and write down the saves you made so your brain can finally believe your effort.As days get shorter, we get specific about seasonal depression with strategies that work: bright light in the morning, vitamin D with medical guidance, accessible movement, and supportive therapy. We dig into ADHD as it shows up in women—masking, hyperfocus, shame, and designing systems that honor how your brain works. Imposter syndrome gets airtime too, along with Jung’s nudge to integrate the light and the dark. We close with a mirror from friends—empathetic, determined, insightful, joyful—and an invitation to keep one room at the top where rest, music, and honest conversations belong.If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs gentler pacing this season, and leave a quick review so more people can find these tools.0:00 A Song About Peace After Pain2:30 Road Trips, Petty, And Nostalgia4:56 Hood To Coast In Dead Heat10:35 Community, Goonies Beach, And Joy13:35 Two Halfs, Lifetime Runners, Perspective19:40 Alcohol, Family History, And Change25:36 Hospice, Grief, And Gentle Presence31:20 Ditching Hustle And Loving “Good Enough”38:45 Generational Hustle, Robots, And Worth46:20 Balancing Life Maps And Real Fulfillment49:30 Seasonal Depression: What To Watch54:30 Practical Winter Movement And Comfort1:00:25 ADHD Basics, Masking, And Shame
