The Whole Again Podcast: Mindfulness and Resilience through Kinstugi Wisdom airs every Monday, Wednesday and Friday with Pause Breathe Reflect Microdose Meditations, Growth Mindset and Mindfulness Tips, to help us transform our scars into healing and resilience. And between May and October, I'm sharing a new series I'm calling: A Perfectly Imperfect Union. It's about connecting with every day folks as they reflect on America at 250. Conversations will air every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.-------This is a rebroadcast from the days when Whole Again was known as The Kintsugi Podcast, and it was part of my Rise to Ripple Series aka my cycle across America.What will you regret if you never do it?That's the question at the center of this episode of Whole Again, recorded on the road during Michael's cross-country ride.This month, Michael steps away from the usual conversation format to bring you along for the ride, literally, sharing stories from his journey across America and the lessons found in unexpected places, this time in Wisdom, Montana.Between a swarm of flies, a too-close encounter with a semi-truck, and a bag of Ripple potato chips, Michael circles back to the theme that shaped this entire trip: being more afraid of not living than dying.He shares how his accident, what he calls My Last Bad Day, forced him to accept his own mortality, and how that acceptance became the freedom to stop arguing with reality and start living on his own terms.Along the way, he revisits Steve Jobs' Stanford commencement address and Bronnie Ware's research on the regrets of the dying, and lands on the number one regret: not having the courage to live a life true to yourself, and instead living the life someone else wanted for you.Michael's invitation is simple. Don't wait. Whatever it is you've been putting off- the book, the podcast, the mindfulness practice, the ask, the leap- treat your time as the finite thing it is.Before you go, Michael has a question for you:What is one thing you've been putting off that you're now ready to stop waiting on?You can now download my Pause Breathe Reflect App with Microdose EQ for FREE in Apple’s App Store or Google Play.
