Death, Dopamine, and Doing the Damn Thing ft. Jodi Wellman
Episode description
#78: If you’ve ever felt stuck in the rinse-and-repeat cycle of life, this episode is your wake-up call.
Jodi Wellman, author of You Only Die Once and founder of Four Thousand Mondays, joins me for a conversation that’s as deep as it is energizing. We talk about how grief, boredom, and near-death wake-up calls (literal or not) can be the ultimate invitation to actually live your damn life.
We cover:
— What it means to live like you mean it
— Why “someday” is a dangerous trap
— How small joys and everyday novelty can change everything
— Bucket lists, regrets, and why the Grim Reaper might actually be your BFF
This episode isn’t about fearing death; it’s about using it to spark something real. You only die once. But how many Mondays do you have left? (Seriously. Count them.)
