Summary

Today, John gets real about loss, growth, and the ticking clock on his 52nd birthday. With raw honesty, he reflects on what life has taught him—and why waiting for “the right time” is a trap. This episode is your invitation to live boldly, chase what matters, and stop hitting pause on the life you want. Feeling stuck, heartbroken, or just over the same old patterns? Join 7 Days to Reclaim Your Singlehood— a 7-day, $7 challenge to help you stop spiraling, reconnect with yourself, and build real momentum toward the life (and love) you actually want. Through daily prompts, mantras, and mindset shifts, you'll move from feeling stuck or heartbroken to grounded and empowered. Each day unlocks a new emotional breakthrough: Day 1 – The Mirror: Get honest with yourself and assess where your self-connection stands. Day 2 – I Am Not Lonely, I Am Becoming: Reframe loneliness and see it as part of your transformation. Day 3 – Redefining Self-Care: Strip away the Instagram fluff and find what true, nourishing self-care looks like. Day 4 – Detach to Connect: Identify and interrupt distorted thought patterns holding you back. Day 5 – Fuck It Friday: Give yourself permission to feel joy, rest, or play—guilt-free. Day 6 – The Call Is Coming From Inside the House: Spot limiting beliefs and begin rewriting your inner narrative. Day 7 – Write Your Self-Agreement: Declare a new, intentional relationship with yourself. This 7-day challenge starts April 22nd.
