Summer, The Cringe of "Bucket Lists," and Making Moments Count

Update: 2023-06-27

Description

Today we're celebrating the Summer Solstice (a little late, and yes, Happy Winter to our friends in the Southern Hemisphere!) with some thoughts about the magic of summer. What makes this season different-- but why do our hopes for it often end with regret?

From exploring what's wrong with the concept of a bucket list to figuring out how we balance adventure and relaxation, today we're trying to make things count in this special season we only get once a year. (And yes, we get a little sentimental.)

Follow Baggage Check on Instagram @baggagecheckpodcast and get sneak peeks of upcoming episodes, give your take on guests and show topics, gawk at the very good boy Buster the Dog, and send us your questions!

Here's more on Dr. Andrea Bonior and her book Detox Your Thoughts.
