    Deep Pursuits: A Way to Find Purpose in Life

    In this episode, I discuss a term I coined called "Deep Pursuits". In short, Deep Pursuits are special kinds of of hobbies, activities, or callings that allow us to do one or more of the following: 1. Find purpose 2. Find or foster community (and give back!) 3. Find the flow state 4. Build skills and use creativity (Bonus points if you can do multiple!) I go in-depth to describe examples of Deep Pursuits in my life, describe why having Deep Pursuits and finding the flow state is so important, and I also throw out a bunch of examples of brainstormed Deep Pursuits ideas to get you thinking about how to add Deep Pursuits to your own life.

    Rent vs. Buy Misconceptions

    Join me today as I debunk several myths about buying a home and reflect on the pros and cons of renting vs. buying. I also go through when the math actually supports buying over renting, and issue a PSA for anyone's parent's out there who's kids are buying a house soon (spoiler alert: be gentle, please!). For media, I highlight Paula Pant's Afford Anything and Poirot by Agatha Christie: Money with Katie's Rent vs. Buy Article: https://moneywithkatie.com/when-the-math-supports-buying-your-primary-residence-instead-of-renting/ Afford Anything: https://affordanything.com/episode-4-beginner-guide-real-estate-investing/ Poirot: https://youtu.be/8rDSNChX5lo?si=ydYHm1ivr4ANCi31

    Food, Diet, & More

    Had a bit of a crazy week this week, so in lieu of a regular episode, enjoy this backlog episode I recorded a few months back about food, diet, & more. I follow a gluten-free, dairy-free, and nut-free diet and am a big fan of foods from all over the world. Listen along to learn about my favorite foods from childhood to now, and evolution in my diet/thoughts about food throughout the years.
