On this week’s episode of Drifting On Purpose Addie interviews Azriel! She asks him about his families 14 year epic journey sailing around the world and how that has affected him as an adult. He discusses his mother’s journey as young 22 year old alone in Australia making her way back to the US with all of her world possessions in a bag and a baby on her hip.  We use the ocean as a metaphor to discuss the difference between drifting and drifting on purpose and at what point in life did Azriel feel like he had that purpose. Addie also shares with us her experience when her “ship” crashed into the rocks and sank to the bottom of the ocean and what lessons she has learned. This is a really enjoyable and fun conversation and Azriel is so grateful to have the opportunity to share his story and his mother’s story with you.

Episode 04 - The Power of Connection

 

On this week’s episode of Drifting On Purpose we discuss the longest human study ever conducted on health and fulfillment. This is the 80-year Harvard Study of Adult Development. We discuss how and why the study shows that close relationships and social connections are crucial for well-being as we age. We also bring Barbara Fredrickson, PH.D to the party and discuss her wisdom from her book Love 2.0.  We make the connection between the Harvard study and Fredrickson’s book that connecting IRL (in real life) and sharing moments of “positivity resonance” is a powerful practice for anyone looking to be filled with more joy, health and fulfillment.  We hope our conversation inspires you to put the phone down and go out in your community and create genuine connections with the people around you.
