All right, time for the weekly Pep Talk. This is just a quick five minute thing, thing,

podcast to get you ready for your week or just get your mind straight and it's really easy,

it's easy to digest to help and mom and I work on this really hard every week.

It's like probably what we spend the most time on prepping for because I want to just get it just right.

So always love your feedback on these.

Big week coming up this week.

Like I said, this secret project is starting to come together.

We'll be able to talk about it more really soon.

We'll just get into it next week.

Hopefully you'll join us for some more shows coming up really soon. We'll just get into it next week. Hopefully you'll join us for some more shows coming up really soon and I love you. Thank you so much and life is in the transition. My mom here in just a couple seconds.

I am reading a book, Life is in the Transitions, by Bruce

Filer. And basically he has done what's called a life story project and gone around the country and talked to people

about the transitional phases of their lives and he says that the number of disruptors a person can expect to

experience in an adult life is around three dozen, which means that's an average of one every 12 to 18 months.

And most of these disruptors, he says, can be managed with only minor upset to our lives. We adjust,

we draw on our loved ones, we recalibrate our life stories.

And certainly that's been true for me when I think about the disruptors in my life.

One of the first things that comes to mind is the death of my mother, my father, and my two brothers.

And how with the support of loved ones I was able to recalibrate my life during those times.

But he says that some of these disruptors are truly on the level of

disorienting and destabilizing us. And he calls these events like quakes because the damage they do can be devastating

and they're higher on the Richter scale of consequence and their aftershocks can last for years.
