What's up, you Beautiful Beasts! Welcome back to the show! In this episode, I sit down with my friend David Cleveland for a conversation about what happens when the version of your life you built no longer fits the person you are becoming. We talk about identity, purpose, failure, forgiveness, getting older, changing direction, and why reaching the thing you thought you were supposed to want doesn’t always make you feel fulfilled. David shares what it was like raising four daughters as a single father, eventually becoming an empty nester, and realizing he had to figure out who he was outside of the roles and responsibilities that had defined him for decades. We also get into why “just change your mindset” is such oversimplified advice, why failure is not always failure, and how some of the hardest things we go through can completely change the way we see ourselves and other people. And because neither of us knows how to stay on one topic, we somehow end up talking about caregiving, relationships, forgiveness, mortality, and the fact that coaches are still whole-ass humans figuring their own shit out too. As always, I hope something lands with you today. I hope something tugs at your heart strings and/or I hope you laugh.
