I have seen this narrative so many damn times: the person comes into the ER with nagging symptoms. Tests reveal the worst case scenario: cancer.
At this moment, and the several moments following, people begin to look at their lives as it flashes before their eyes. Suddenly, people are faced with all of the decisions and lifestyle they have been living. Suddenly, people realize how precious, rare, and tender being a human being really is!
We are all guilty of this at some point in our lives; we are all guilty of taking for granted our humanness and opportunity that we have to just exist. Instead, we hop on the hamster wheel of money, fame, success, proving ourselves, societal pressures, and so on as the list could go on for miles.
Learn now to look at your life and the fragility that it holds. Learn now to take control and be the driver in your life, not the passenger. Don’t wait until you or a loved one is struck with a terminal illness to realize this! -
Episode 20..... WOW!
I have low energy today. I am feeling tired and worn out. I did not have the spark to produce uplifting content. BUT I did still show up for you and for me.
Be real. Be raw. Showing up on the hard days is important for me. I am wanting to show real emotion and include the difficult days that feel like failure. The WHOLE human experience. We are not at our best every single day.
Love you all!
Much Love,
Colton

A vulnerable and honest expression of the journey I went down to finding myself in the LGBTQ+ community and world.
In this episode, I take you through some personal battles and obstacles that I was faced with while accepting who I am at my core. I have had some beautiful revelations on this journey so far, and I hope to keep unwrapping the raw and ugly and beautiful truths that is my life.
If nothing else, I hope this episode leaves you with curiosity and at the very least an attempt to understand your loved ones and fellow humans who navigate the rough waters that come with this territory.
Thank you for being here! Sharing our humanness through stories and personal experience is vitally important to our connection!
Much Love,
Colton

In this episode, Colton discusses living a life that is true to your most authentic self.
Society (parents, friends, family, educators, pastors, ANYONE) pressures us to believe that we HAVE to live a certain way in order to live a successful life.
I am here to tell you that this is a FEAR-based mindset and coming from a place of SCARCITY.
You do not HAVE to go to college at 18, but you CAN if that is what is right for you.
You do not HAVE to get married, but you CAN if that feels right for you.
You do not HAVE to work 9-5, Monday through Friday, but you CAN if that is best for you!
You CAN backpack Europe for 6 months if that is what you desire, but you DO not have to ever travel if that is what feels right for YOU.
Do you get the concept here? This life is YOURS. This life is not THEIRS. We are all compiled of our own experiences, wants, perspectives, and desires to live this life that fulfills our highest desires. -

Finding your WHY behind the work that you are doing is HUGE to your success. Without a strong WHY or a strong NORTH STAR, then it is nearly impossible for us to stay disciplined. The motivation may initially come, but the discipline is born from the strong relationship to the WHY.
Thanks for being here! Building community and storytelling is how we connect with one another. I will continue to show up for you!
Much Love,
Colton

Are you ready to embark on the journey with me from training for the Boston Marathon to fundraising to digging deep to find my WHY and my PURPOSE that propelled me forward.
I will dive into almost giving up and throwing in the towel, to finding the relentless belief in yourself to put one foot in front of the other.
26.2 mile is no small feat! BUT don't make the moment larger than it needs to be. Tune in for an in depth and personal journey from start to end of the 127th Boston Marathon.

Do you find yourself waking up and immediately reaching for your phone? Do you immediately turn on the news?
The information we look at and listen to plays a vital role in our lives! If you are starting the day with anxiety-ridden news, you are likely to feel more anxious to start your morning.
Start the day by allowing your natural thoughts to flow and circulate. Allow yourself to regulate first thing in the morning before diving into the world and the lives of other people.
Trust me, it helps!

That awkward moment when Christmas is over and we are all coming down from the holiday high and waiting for the New Year to begin. What could you possibly be doing with your time?
Well, I have the answer for you: REFLECTING!
Reflect on your life over the last year. Write out what you have been doing and develop themes around your actions. See if those themes fit your lifestyle and determine what you need to keep, fix, or leave the hell behind!
Much love,
Colton -

Episode 5 already?! Wow! This is so fun.
Anyways. Choices are something that we face every day. Every second of every minute of every day of every week of every month of every year of every decade. You get the idea, right?
Take your power back and realize that the choice is yours! That job you hate is a choice.
That relationship that isn't working (romantic or platonic); the choice is yours.
Sleeping an extra 45 minutes? That is your choice, leading to missing the gym or less time you have to write part of that book.
Choices. Choices. Choices.
Join in this week to talk all about them!
