Ever find yourself in a funk? Nothing is necessarily falling apart, but you're discouraged, stuck in your head, or just going through the motions. You know something needs to change, but you're not quite sure where to start.
After a month away from the podcast, we're back with a few stories from an unexpected season of adventure, creativity, and rediscovering some things we'd forgotten we loved. Somewhere between climbing mountains in the Grand Tetons, a chance encounter in Jackson Hole, and a strange project in the driveway, something started waking up again.
**In this episode, you'll discover:**
- Why you can't always think your way out of a funk—and what to try instead.
- The surprising power of making a decision, especially when you don't feel motivated.
- How to stop letting yesterday's mistakes steal the life you're living today.
- What a chance encounter outside a restaurant bathroom in Jackson, Wyoming with a famous Western artist had to do with any of this.
- Why anyone would spend two weeks building a nine-foot-tall cowboy in their driveway—and what happened along the way.
Recorded on an iPhone during a walk around the lake, this one's a little raw, a little windy, and a personal conversation about getting unstuck, finding your way back to yourself, and learning to enjoy the life that's right in front of you.
