    Hi friends, I got new mics! I've always wanted to record conversations on walks and park benches in public, so I picked up two wireless mics. Anyway, this is the first conversation I've recorded with my favorite person, Paola, and it's also her birthday today!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY I LOVE YOU ♥️ We always have the best chats, especially on our random long walks around the city so I figured I'd record and share her wisdom with ya'll as well. Enjoy these 3 BIG things and more: 🚲 How allowing our emotions to flow helps to reduce stress and anxiety 🚲 How to find the joy in self-improvement 🚲 How to be more confident Thanks for listening!!

    #057: Ken | The Contrarian Life of a Sea Sailor

    Howdy stranger-turned-friends 🤠 This was a fun episode to record. Please welcome Ken, a sea sailor who lives by his own rules. How rare is that? Ken went on a solo trip to a small town in Finland when he was 18 and loved it so much, he promised himself he would move here. And he did. He zigged when everyone else zagged and took a path less travelled - a life that led him out to sea. We talk all about: 🌊 The free-spirited and rugged vibes of sea culture 🌊 Perks of living a seasonal life (+ a life full of hobbies) 🌊 How choosing the path not taken leads us to interesting places And lots more!! Ken also loves combining his two hobbies - playing folk music and explaining the history of music. Do check it out (it's pretty cool!): Here it is Till next time,  Gladys 💌 Come say hi (I answer everything!) : Instagram - @strangerturnedfriend Blog - strangerturnedfriend.substack.com Email - strangerturnedfriend@gmail.com TikTok - @strangerturnedfriend

    ANALOG | AccidentalCISO on career burnout & crafting a slow life

    Hi friends, In the 2nd episode of ANALOG, I have the wonderfully self-aware and curious stranger-turned-friend, AccidentalCISO, on the pod. He is a former Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) who burned out after working in a toxic tech career for years. Itching to build a slower life for himself and his family, AccidentalCISO finally started his own consulting firm and now works from an RV, traveling 6-8 weeks of the year in pursuit of a life that centers on travel and nature. RAD🌞 We talk all about: 🚌 Simple actions that add joy and appreciation to our every day (without relocating to the woods!) 🚌 Slowing down to keep work enjoyable and sustainable 🚌 How engaging in thoughtful, 1-on-1 conversations is more impactful than participating in social media debates And lots more!!

    #055: Adam | On being homeless, incremental progress, and pursuing what's meaningful

    Hellooooo friends :) I had the lovely pleasure of chatting with Adam, who tuned in from the comfort of his front yard as he slow cooked some pulled pork for Super Bowl Sunday. If only you could see the look on his face - sun shining on him, birds chirping in the background - it was pure bliss and peace. Our conversation was honest and heartfelt as Adam shared his life story about being homeless and climbing out of his rock bottom through incremental decisions to be more accountable and treat the people around him a little bit better everyday. We talked all about creating meaningful friendships and relationships, knowing what truly matters in life (hint: it's not work), our ideal day, and saying "I love you" more often. Enjoy the pod!   Till next time,  Gladys 💌 Come say hi (I answer everything!) : Instagram - @strangerturnedfriend Blog - strangerturnedfriend.substack.com Email - strangerturnedfriend@gmail.com TikTok - @strangerturnedfriend

    #054: Clarence | The Autistic David Goggins

    Hi friends, One day in July 2023, I stumbled on a reddit post of someone pouring their soul out, talking about how they transformed their life through small, incremental changes. They started from rock bottom - trauma, nihilistic depression, the whole nine - and was at a point where they had to find a way to... live. I was so compelled to know their story that I messaged them. And that kids, is how this episode was born. Here's all the magic: - How Clarence fell into nihilistic depression - Being autistic, being told you're not good enough - Why Clarence only knew about the pandemic 4 months in - Why do we tend to get more motivation when doing things for others rather than ourselves? - The reason why Clarence became obese after being sexually assaulted - Clarence's process of overcoming his early age speech impedients and what it taught him about communicating with neurotypical people - What can neurotypical people do to understand people with autism - Clarence's encounter with a police officer - What advice would Clarence give to a 15 year old with autism? - Benefits of meditation Above all, Clarence is one of the most genuine and sincere human I've had on this podcast. Please enjoy this lovely conversation :) Till next time,  Gladys 💌 Come say hi (I answer everything!) : Instagram - @strangerturnedfriend Blog - strangerturnedfriend.substack.com Email - strangerturnedfriend@gmail.com TikTok - @strangerturnedfriend
