I think you could probably go back and track the stages of grief, probably that is what I went through. But I think if you do it right, you end up at acceptance. And that's where I ended up. And that's not to say that I've fully accepted the idea that the golden toad is extinct. Personally, I do still hold out hope that it could still be out there in those forests." - Trevor Ritland This conversation is with Trevor Ritland, who—along with his twin brother Kyle—authored The Golden Toad . The book chronicles their remarkable journey into Costa Rica’s cloud forest, once home to hundreds of brilliant golden toads that would emerge for just a few weeks each year—until, one day, they vanished without a trace. What began as a search for a lost species soon became something much more profound: a confrontation with ecological grief, a meditation on hope, and a powerful call to protect the natural world while we still can.

The Power in Playfulness: 5 Ways to be more playful when struggle strikes 24:47

11 weeks ago24:47

24:47

Playfulness is a powerful, often overlooked tool for navigating life’s challenges. It’s not about ignoring struggle, but about shifting your perspective to lighten the emotional load. When you approach life with a playful spirit, you allow yourself to be curious instead of critical, creative instead of confined, and resilient instead of rigid. Being playful doesn't mean being irresponsible—it means staying open, adaptive, and willing to find joy even in chaos. You can be playful by laughing at the little mishaps, turning daily tasks into mini-adventures, dancing in your kitchen, or simply choosing to respond with lightness instead of stress. In the face of struggle, ask yourself: “How can I make this fun?” That one question can change the tone of your entire day. Play is not just for children—it’s a mindset that can help you pivot with power, stay centered, and keep your energy high even when life gets heavy. 5 ways: 1. Name the moment like a movie scene 2. Have a Pivot song ready 3. Use the What if it's a game? Trick 4. Talk to yourself like a kid 5. Play the 60-second reset game 5 reminders of being childlike: 1. Ask for help, not hide it 2. Make it a game 3. Move their body freely 4. Express emotions and move on 5. Get Curious, Not Critical #mindset #podcast #power #pivot #manifestation #innerstrength Support the show Thank you for listening!
