Episode 285A morning run brings one word back to the surface: Believe. In this episode, I share why that word became more than inspiration in our home. It became a decision. Between my wife Olivia’s esophageal cancer journey and my mom’s Alzheimer’s dementia progression, belief stopped being an idea and started becoming a daily practice. I also share the moment I realized time was the real urgency, and why I chose to step away from a career I loved to build a life rhythm that made room for the people I love most.What you’ll hear in this episodeWhy “Believe” is not decor, it is a decisionHow uncertainty can test your mind and your heartThe difference between hope and actionThe phrase that changed my year: “Believe it to see it”A simple practice to move forward when the roadmap is not clearKey messageBelief is not pretending.
