UnobstructedRediscovering Analog JoyThis episode of The Unobstructed Podcast is about rediscovering joy.It's a topic that friend of the pod, Caleb Walker, brought up recently. Specifically, he’s seeing an uptick in a trend called “kidulting,” where people are returning to hobbies they loved and found joy in as kids, but that they’ve left behind in adulthood.We both come from a background in marketing where, by day, we’re forced to be very digitally integrated. Likely as a result of that, we’ve been trying to find ways of distancing ourselves from an “always on” vibe when not wo...

UnobstructedThe Other Side Of Shame And FearThis episode of The Unobstructed Podcast is about getting out of your own way—about being caught between shame, fear, and the path to finally feeling clear.The same week I got sober I also started a new job, went through a breakup, and moved across the country. That was almost four and a half years ago. All of that kinda, sorta, really, definitely sucked… but it was also one of the biggest (and most positive) turning points in my life.Sobriety reshaped my approach to creativity and stability, but only because of what it expo...

I used to be very active… and I’m not anymore. Before my traumatic brain injury, I worked, lived, and socialized in the world of outdoor sports. Then, after the accident, I’d hoped I could love the outdoors again in ways where my livelihood wasn’t attached to it. And I haven’t been able to recover that, which is hard. Repercussi...

The gods and goddesses of the Greeks, for example, walked on water, flew, visited the land of the dead, and lived forever. Ancient Christians told similar stories about Jesus, their primary superhero—he possessed incredible powers of healing, walked on water, rose from the dead, and more. Dennis R.
