A Christmas Message

On Christmas Day, I wanted to take a quiet moment to slow things down. This short message isn’t about perfection, tradition, or how the season is supposed to feel. It’s simply a pause — a thank you — and a reminder that wherever you find yourself today, you’re not alone. From my family to yours, Merry Christmas. 💬 Share your thoughts on Instagram: @thehowpodcast61 🎙 How Did We Get Here? — a podcast about the choices, cracks & crossroads that shape us.

One World, One Mind | A Mental Health Reflection on Connection & Hope

When life feels heavy, divided, or overwhelming, it’s easy to retreat into ourselves — to feel separate, isolated, or unseen. But sometimes, all it takes is a reminder: We are not alone. Episode 20 continues the mental health series with a quiet but powerful message about connection — to each other, to our experiences, and to the shared humanity we often forget we’re part of. 🕯 One world. One mind. One breath at a time. 💬 Share your thoughts on Instagram: @thehowpodcast61 🎙 How Did We Get Here? — a podcast about the choices, cracks & crossroads that shape us.

The Night Before Yule | A Holiday Reflection

In the spirit of The Night Before Christmas, Jim offers a different take on the holiday classic. Pull up a chair. Pour a glass of eggnog — maybe two. And step into a quieter moment of reflection. The Night Before Yule is a short, seasonal bonus episode of How Did We Get Here? — an invitation to slow down, set aside the noise of the season, and listen with intention. No spectacle. No rush. Just a story meant to be heard in the glow of candlelight. Send us a text How Did We Get Here? — real stories about the choices, cracks, and crossroads that shape us.

Echoes of Silence — The Reality of Invisible Struggles

Episode 19 takes a closer look at the quiet struggles we don’t always see — the internal battles, the weight of unspoken pain, and the limits of what “being there” can fix. Jim shares an honest, grounded perspective on what silence can do to a person, and why connection matters even when we don’t have the answers. What part stayed with you? I’d love to hear your thoughts. 💬 Share your thoughts on Instagram: @thehowpodcast61 🎙 How Did We Get Here? — a podcast about the choices, cracks & crossroads that shape us.

Behind Closed Doors — The Weight We Carry Alone

Behind every closed door, there’s a story we don’t talk about.

If you’ve ever held something in the dark… this one’s for you. 💬 Thoughts? Share them on IG: @thehowpodcast61 🎙 How Did We Get Here?

Holiday Special: A Moment of Thanks

On this Thanksgiving Day, I wanted to share something simple — a moment of stillness, a breath, a reminder that gratitude doesn’t always come easy… and that’s okay. Some years, the table is full. Some years, the heart feels a little emptier. But no matter what this year looked like for you, I hope this short message gives you a moment of peace… and maybe a moment of thanks. Whether today is a celebration, a challenge, or somewhere in between — you’re not alone. Thank you for being part of this journey with me. 💬 Share your thoughts on Instagram: @thehowpodcast61 🎙 How Did We Get Here? — a podcast about the choices, cracks & crossroads that shape us.
