    God Position

    Ever wonder what it’s like to be God? Roles like parent, police officer, HR rep, and teacher offer a glimpse. Each carries the authority to shape lives, enforce rules, and serve others. But when that kind of responsibility rests on a human, empathy can begin to erode. In this episode, we explore what it means to occupy a “God position”—and consider whether a storied death holds the key to succeeding when you find yourself in one. Press play and Experience Relativity.

    WWJD

    This Easter, I reflect on how performance—whether on a rocket ship or in religion—can get in the way of truth. From growing up in a fear-based faith to nearly over-producing this podcast, I share what happens when we stop staging and start showing up. 🎧 Listen now and support the pod at ExperienceRelativity.com #ExperienceRelativity #WWJD #ReflexEmpathy #SpiritualGrowth #DMVPodcasts

    Get W.I.L.D.E.R.!: All Out

    What does it really mean to go All Out? Not in the performative, max-effort-for-show way—but in the real, honest, soul-baring way. This is the final phase of pacing. The moment when there’s nothing left to hold, nothing left to hide, and everything to give. In this episode, we explore the fifth and final phase of pacing yourself through life and the marathon: All Out. It’s where “have to” and “want to” collide. Where habit and willpower meet truth. Where the preparation you’ve done—your training, your data, your reflection—introduces you to a version of yourself you’ve never met before. This is where vulnerability becomes power, and effort becomes identity. From story time reflections on rhabdomyolysis and balance to confronting the “butt-naked truth,” we break down what it means to reach your finish line with nothing left inside because you went all out. It’s time to Get W.I.L.D.E.R.—with Patience, Rhythm, Focus, Grind, and now… All Out. 🎧 Listen now on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and all major platforms. #ExperienceRelativity #xRelativity #ExploringTheSpaceBetweenUs #AllOut #MarathonMindset #GoWILDER #YouVsYou #MindsetMatters #FinishStrong #NothingFromNothing #Habit #Motivation #SelfDiscovery #ButtNakedTruth #StayTheCourse #DMVPodcasts #VulnerabilityIsPower

    Get W.I.L.D. E.R.!: Grind

    Two weeks removed from the marathon and still appreciating the grind, I’ve been thinking about what the grind really is. Not the glamorized version. Not the hustle tweets. The real grind—where purpose meets pain and progress meets patience. In this episode, we talk about Grind not as a badge of honor, but as a bridge to discovery. Whether you see it as a means to an end or a means to evolve, it’s where we find out who we are, what we’re built for, and how we choose to show up when no one’s watching. From the moment you’re born, the race is on. You vs. You. And while most of us don’t remember the starting line, it’s the stretch between birth and finish that defines everything for us. We explore the power of staying grounded while grinding, the clarity that can come in motion, and why the hardest and most meaning thing we’ve ever done is behind us, but our lack of memory of it makes everything else seem so much harder.  It’s time to Get W.I.L.D.E.R.—to shift from transactional to transformational, and to see the grind for what it really is: the ground we grow from. 🎧 Listen now on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and all major platforms. #ExperienceRelativity #xRelativity #ExploringTheSpaceBetweenUs #Grind #PurposeOverPain #GetWILDER #MarathonMindset #YouVsYou #SelfDiscovery #EnvironmentalDiscovery #ReflexEmpathy #MindsetMatters #StayTheCourse #DMVPodcasts #Transformational

    GET W.I.L.D.E.R.!: Focus

    Two weeks after crossing the finish line in Rome, my body is sore, my spirit is full, and my thoughts are clearer than they’ve ever been. Creating this episode became a test of focus in itself—one that reminded me why this conversation is necessary.In this episode, we explore the third phase of pacing: Focus. Not as something you force, but something you find. Some people learn to acknowledge distraction for what it is. Others choose violence. Either way, it’s about choosing presence in the midst of chaos, peace over panic, and rhythm over rush.Whether you’re training for a marathon, trying to meditate, or just keeping your lawn alive, this one’s for you. We talk about conserving energy for what matters, avoiding the trap of motion without progress, and learning not to mistake every distraction for a mountain. Because the race is on regardless—and how you run still matters.It’s time to Get W.I.L.D.E.R.—to find peace in your pace, power in your presence, and focus in the middle of the noise.🎧 Listen now on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and all major platforms.#xRelativity #Focus #PaceYourself #MindsetMatters #MarathonMindset #GetWILDER #ReflexEmpathy #YouVsYou #RunYourRace #ExperienceRelativity #PresenceOverPanic #MeditativeState #StayTheCourse #DMVPodcasts#ExploringTheSpaceBetweenUs @OnePeloton @saucony ​

    Get W.I.L.D.E.R.!: PR

    Whether you’re a runner or not, life itself is a race—one you never had the choice to enter. From birth, the clock starts ticking, and the finish line is inevitable. But what happens in between? That’s where the rhythm, the pacing, the patience, and the process come in. In this episode, we explore the intersection of running and life—how The Marathon Continues beyond the physical, how rhythm and restraint shape progress, and why enthusiasm and indifference are just different ways of approaching the same road. I reflect on my journey from hating running to completing a marathon, breaking down the lessons learned along the way: the power of patience, the inevitability of time, and the moment you realize you’re not racing against anyone but yourself. It’s time to Get W.I.L.D.E.R.—to push beyond comfort zones, to embrace the challenge, and to find the rhythm that moves you forward. 🎧 Listen now on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and all major platforms. #ExperienceRelativity #ExploringTheSpaceBetweenUs #TheMarathonContinues #Mindset #PersonalGrowth #RunningLife #Patience #Rhythm #Motivation #PodcastLife #StayTheCourse #SelfImprovement #Endurance #LifeLessons #KeepGoing #GetWILDER

    Red Glare

    🔥 Red Glare | Experience Relativity Podcast – February 2025 Episode 🔥 🎆 The rockets’ red glare… but what does it illuminate? In this episode of Experience Relativity, we dive into the paradox of American history—where love, resilience, and sacrifice coexist with denial, guilt, and unresolved trauma. Inspired by the famous line from the Star-Spangled Banner, we explore how the very anthem that celebrates freedom was written at a time when many were still in bondage. 🔎 Key Topics: • The Duality of America: “The land of the free” and “the home of the slave”—what does this contradiction reveal? • Unconditional Love & Persistence: Can love exist despite historical and systemic injustice? • The Heartbeat of a Nation: America as a metaphorical child—raised by both enslaved and non-enslaved Americans. • Filial Love & Hatred: How does a nation reconcile its past while resisting full recognition of its debts? • Builders & Nurturers of America: Enslaved Americans as the nation’s “founding mothers” who labored, carried, and nurtured a world power into existence. • A Strained Relationship: If America were a family, what lessons do the parents need to learn to raise a nation they both can be proud of? 💡 How do we teach love when justice is denied? How do we heal wounds that remain open? 🔔 Subscribe & Follow Experience Relativity on your favorite podcast platform for more thought-provoking discussions that challenge perspectives and inspire growth. 🎧 Experience Relativity – Exploring the space between us 👉 Visit www.experiencerelativity.com to stay connected and sign up for updates. #ExperienceRelativity #History #Podcast #RedGlare #StarSpangledBanner #AmericanHistory #Freedom #Perspective #Justice #LoveAndResilience #Valentinesday
