In this short and humorous minisode of The Mom’s Adventure Paradox, I dive into the theme: “Yeah, but does it turn you on?” — not in a risqué way, but in the sense of what lights you up in life. I reflect on a technical hiccup (being muted on Zoom), the value of having guests who keep you accountable, and the joy of engaging in things that truly excite you.
I share a story about working with my horse, Jet — how even the things we love most can sometimes be frustrating. But that’s okay. Passion isn’t about feeling good all the time; it’s about the deeper connection, joy, and purpose.
I dive into what lights me up — like podcasting and hearing mind-expanding stories (yes, even one about water freezing in the shape of a hand). Those moments ignite something in me, and I invite listeners to notice what sparks that feeling for them too.
Humor also plays a big role — from childhood jokes to the time a funny story landed me a radio show. I reflect on the power of humor to heal and connect, even when the jokes don’t always land (like when I once bombed a stand-up set by going way over time). It’s all part of the creative ride.
Ultimately, this episode is a nudge: if listening turns you on, maybe it's time to start or guest on a podcast. Step into what excites you, and don't be afraid to be seen, heard, or even make a few people laugh along the way.
