Description
In Life in Retrograde, we unpack the past and the pivotal moments that still linger in our psyche.
This podcast is a raw, unapologetic journey through the forces that pull us backward.
Through honest conversation and genuine reflection,
we uncover the meaning that remains hidden in the past
while learning that preserving history rather than demolishing it
is our greatest means to the end of being stuck in life's retrograde.

This week, I'm introducing Echoes of Elsewhere - a new segment of the pod where we'll be diving in to urban exploration. To properly kick things off, I'm discussing the meaning, the basics and the hidden healing that urbex is all about.
A shoutout to the inspiration behind my own explorations and this new segment, Leland Kent aka Abandoned Southeast, a well-known and legendary urban explorer. Leland will be on the podcast soon for an in depth look at his own journey as an explorer and how he came to be known as "the king of the south".
Thank you for tuning in to this introduction to the world of urbex.
Stay tuned, next week we go exploring for the first time on the pod where we will be discussing the journey off the beaten path in to a home frozen in time that we've named "The River House"
