More importantly, Roy approaches life with a mission driven philosophy.  He understands that it’s more important to make the world a better place as opposed to just trying to acquire and material things in his lifetime.  Focusing on gratitude, he understands the benefit of always being present in the current moment.

In this episode of “The Journey of My Mother’s Son” podcast, Sandy and I talk about our travels from Grapevine, Texas to Lake Havasu City, Arizona.
We were able to reconnect to so many friends and had a great final leg of the book tour.

In this episode of the Journey of My Mother’s Son podcast, I sit down and talk with Brittany and Cody Holifield.
I had Cody and Brittany on the show after we first met at A Year to Volunteer project at Sam Houston Jones State Park back in March of 2022.  At that time, they were a full-time RV family of four traveling throughout the United States under the name Hitch to Hitch.
A lot has changed for them over the past couple of years, and they are about to start a new chapter.
Hitch to Hitch is changing to Halls Top Hangout.  What is Halls Top Hangout, you ask?  It’s a brand new off-grid adventure camp in the beautiful East Tennessee Mountain town of Hartford.
Hartford, Tennessee is located about an hour from Knoxville, Ashville, and Gatlinburg, on the edge of the Cherokee National Forest.   
Cody and Brittany want to create a space where people can come to, unplug, and reconnect with nature.

In this episode of “The Journey of My Mother’s Son” podcast, I sit down to talk with Billy Lahr.
As I always say, I love when I have the opportunity to connect with fellow nomads.  However, although, Billy and I share that same nomadic wanderlust, we’re going about it in two completely different ways.  Sandy and I in an RV in the United States, Canada, and Mexico while Billy is literally traveling the globe.
In 2021, Billy was one of 47 million Americans who quit their jobs due to burnout and priority re-evaluation.  Following the challenges our nation’s educators faced during the pandemic, he no longer had the passion needed to work with high school students.  For the next two years, he traveled all over the world in search of meaningful experiences to reignite his passion for helping others.  Throughout his journey, he met many incredible people along the way, and he shared with them how his mindfulness practice not only changed his life but most likely saved it as well.  When he opened up about his own mental health struggles, he found that people all over the world were also re-evaluating their priorities in life but just needed guidance to do so more intentionally and mindfully.

In this episode of the Journey of My Mother’s Son podcast, I sit down and talk with Tracy Tanguay.
Tracy is a mobility expert also known as “MobilityChick” and has worked with players and coaches from 27 of the 30 MLB organizations, from A-ball to All-Star as well as high school and college teams.
Tracy is also passionate about changing the current culture that has developed throughout youth sports.  This is something that really resonates with me because I saw firsthand how the approach to youth sports has changed over the 30 years that I had been involved.  Sadly, that culture shift has not been for the better.  We have shifted from a team mentality to an individual focus.  Sport specialization at a young age is becoming more and more prevalent, which is leading to more injuries at younger ages.  The increase in injuries early the current MLB season could arguably be attributed to early sport specialization, too many pitches on too little rest at a younger age, and max-effort performance.
Tracy is an expert in her field, so she is speaking from a professional perspective as well as a concerned mom.  Our shared opinion is that we need to focus more on teaching the fundamentals, letting the kids have fun playing the game, and falling in love the sport as opposed to chasing weekend trophies, and a win at all cost approach.  We also agree on the fact that kids should multiple sports for as long as they possibly can.
Sports have a wonderful way of teaching us life lessons, the key is that we have let the game teach those lessons.
Tracy regularly consults with big league coaches for her expertise in training quality movement patterns, the space and transitions between positions, and mobility specifically as it relates to athletic performance and staying healthy.
Tracy’s Offseason Mobility program helped to keep every single Angelo State University player injury-free all season long contributing to their clinching the D2 National Championship this year. That same program has resulted in lower ERAs, increased velo, reduced injury, doubled Home Run rates, over a dozen big league call ups and benefits multi-sport athletes, too.
Tracy has been featured on MLB.com for her movement and mobility work with the Orioles and she’s got a book coming out in 2024 called “Shit About Movement You Should Know”.
Tracy has a degree in neuroscience + cognitive science from Northwestern University, previously had a corporate career in research at McKinsey & Company and now has over 1,000 hours in Yoga training, is a published Master Pilates Instructor, has a boatload of education, certifications and experience.
All this while raising 4 young kiddos, a dog, and a bearded dragon that regularly goes missing in her house.

In this episode of The Journey of My Mother's Son podcast, I sit down and talk with Emma Rowena. Emma Rowena is a musician, performer, intuitive reader, healer, meditation guide, and emerging social entrepreneur, helping people find peace, purpose, and healing in their lives.
Emma was born in the UK, grew up in Norway, and has lived in Cuba and the USA. With her bilingual and bicultural heritage, Emma never felt quite at home in one place – she always felt more part of the greater world, and the years abroad helped her connect to her energy and colours. Inspired by her music-loving, piano-playing father, Emma studied to be a classical pianist. For nearly two decades she made her living teaching children to play the piano, and performing with some of Norway’s most renowned singers and soloists.
Motherhood became a transformative journey for Emma, leading her to embrace her healing and personal growth. She is now a certified intuitive reader, healer, and Theta healing© practitioner. Combining her love for music with a passion for the well-being of the younger generation, Emma envisions a healing center for children and youth, enabling them to discover their unique expression and developing solutions for a better, more sustainable and compassionate world.
Her insights are shared in her book, You. Me. And All That We Are: Unveiling Your Life's Beauty and Magic. A Mother's Heartfelt Letter to Her Son. Emma engages with her audience both online and in person, meditates, cooks, and finds solace in nature with her dog, always seeking the next step in her journey of helping, healing, and creating a better life.
