About this listen

In S3E8 of The Latitude Adjustment, Erica and Rusty take you straight into a rainy surf lesson in Bocas del Toro, Panama—panga boat, deep water, no beach, and a nervous system that would like to speak to the manager. Using surfing as the metaphor, they unpack why fear often spikes right after you make a healthy choice—setting a boundary, resting, quitting numbing, telling the truth—not because you did it wrong, but because your brain is leaving a familiar pattern and treating “new” like danger. You’ll get practical positive psychology and strengths insight, plus the official Aging Heroes Challenge: Three Breaths in the Channel—name the moment, name the wave, breathe, and choose from clarity instead of panic—so you can ride the wobble, build self-trust, and keep paddling toward a second half that actually feels like yours.
