Hi friends! Today's episode is sharing what I experienced and learned during a social media detox that is nearly at two months. I talk about why, what changed, what's opened up and what's been challenging after disconnecting from the platforms. 

As always, this experience and the wisdom gained are shared for information purposes. Feel free to take, leave or ponder anything on this episode.

Thank you for listening!

Today I'm sharing a story--and the wisdom gained--from a hiking adventure to the highest point of New Mexico, Wheeler Peak. 

My plan to attempt two 14,000’ peaks in southern Colorado, Blanca & Ellingwood, was aborted due to high winds and snow at higher elevations. The backup plan was to hike Wheeler Peak: the highest point in New Mexico had been on my to-do list for nearly a decade.

A version of this episode also appears here in print. 

Enjoy, friends!
