    In this episode, I sit down with Aerin, who's just accomplished the extraordinary feat of swimming the English Channel. We explore her journey from competitive swimming to tackling one of the world’s most demanding open-water challenges, covering everything from nutrition, training, and mental preparation to the emotional highs and unexpected obstacles along the way. Aerin shares how she embraced cold water, built the support systems that carried her through, and developed strategies to stay focused during long hours in the sea. It’s an inspiring conversation about resilience, mindset, and the drive to take on new challenges.

  • #22 - Joshua Bloomfield
    Aug 4 2025

    In this episode, I sit down with my friend Josh for a raw and thoughtful conversation about living with autism, ADHD, and mental health challenges. Josh shares his personal journey—from early diagnosis and navigating childhood to the complexities of adult life, identity, and emotional well-being. We explore how neurodivergence affects daily experiences, work environments, relationships, and self-perception. Along the way, Josh offers insights into coping through creativity, exercise, animal companionship, and open communication. We also touch on broader topics like the history of mental health treatment, the science of addiction, and the illusion of free will. It’s an honest and insightful discussion about understanding the invisible challenges many people face and the importance of empathy, support, and expression.
