A tiny shift in language can completely change the way we face our day.

In this episode, we explore the difference between saying “I have to” and “I get to,” and how this simple reframing can lighten difficult tasks, soften tough conversations, and bring a sense of purpose back into ordinary moments.

If you’ve ever felt weighed down by responsibilities or stuck in dread before an uncomfortable interaction, this mindset might surprise you.

Give it a try — and see how a few changed words can reshape your perspective.

Episode 20 is a special one. We’re hitting a meaningful podcast milestone, and in this episode we take a step back to talk honestly about what it’s taken to get here—what’s gone well, what’s been harder than expected, and why so many shows quietly fade out around this point.

We look at the statistics behind pod-fade, the realities of creative burnout, and the gap between the podcast we planned to make and the one we’ve actually created. And somewhere in the middle of all that, we end up confronting a pretty ironic truth: a podcast built around small, steady change can still fall into the trap of trying to make every episode life-changing.

This is a reflective, honest look behind the scenes—about expectations, growth, and giving ourselves permission to be works in progress.

If you’ve ever tried to build something meaningful over time, this one might resonate.

It’s easy to let life settle into routine — work, home, screens, repeat. But staying curious and deliberate about learning can keep your mind sharp, your spirit awake, and your sense of purpose alive.
