What every human wants

What if the thing we’re all really searching for… is aliveness?

In this episode, I explore what I believe is a core human drive — the longing to feel something. To feel moved, stirred, stretched, awake. I share reflections on what aliveness means, how it shows up in different phases of life (especially mid-life, where I find myself now), and how it can quietly slip out of reach when life becomes too safe, too predictable, or too dull.

I talk about the tension between safety and risk, comfort and edge — and why happiness often depends on our willingness to feel anything at all.

If you’ve ever asked yourself, Is this it? or felt the quiet ache of something missing… this one’s for you.
