Ever wonder how the little moments shape our lives and relationships? Today, you will find out with our guest John Morris, who comes to us from a previous guest (Pete Durand).
John is a father of three who vulnerably opens up about the joys and challenges of fatherhood. He also shares the importance of being present and how his supportive spouse helped him battle a recent journey of recovery. John’s insights remind us all of the fleeting nature of time and the individuality each child brings into our lives.
John and I also explore transformative daily practices that have made a significant impact on our lives. From positive self-talk and gratitude journaling to drawing inspiration from philosophy, these simple yet powerful routines can shift your mindset and reality. Whether it's starting your day with "I am" affirmations or the importance of repetitive, small actions, you'll find practical tips to replace anxiety with action and foster a more positive outlook. These routines aren't just life hacks; they're profound tools for personal growth and mindfulness.
The episode takes a heartfelt turn as John shares his struggle with depressive anxiety disorder and alcohol, highlighting the disciplined steps he took to reconnect with his faith and family. His journey from darkness to light is a testament to vulnerability and resilience. We discuss the importance of teaching our children the value of generosity and random acts of kindness, ensuring they grow up grounded despite privileges. Through personal anecdotes, we emphasize leading by example, the strength found in vulnerability, and the lasting impact of genuine connections on both personal and professional fronts. Tune in for an episode filled with inspiration, practical wisdom, and the enduring legacy of fatherhood.
