In this episode of Mo-Nection, I’m joined by returning guest and dear friend, Sadie Bohnenkamp, for an honest conversation about friendship in the second half of life. Sadie and I talk openly about how connection shifts as we grow—when we know ourselves better, value authenticity more deeply, and are no longer interested in performing just to belong. We reflect on our very different personalities and personal practices—from Sadie’s action-oriented nature, love of humor, and simple journaling ...
In this solo episode of Mo-Nection, we step back and examine the “first-half data” life has already handed us—our experiences, lessons, patterns, and hard-won wisdom. As we enter the second half, we no longer move forward blind; we bring clarity about what we no longer want, who we refuse to be, and what behaviors or identities we’re ready to leave behind. We also explore the power of belief—because even the best strategy falls flat if it’s built on outdated stories about who we are. Th...

Together, we identify three things from the past 24 hours to be grateful for. We’re not waiting for grand, life-changing moments. We’re training ourselves to notice...
