  • How We Keep Missing Each Other

    How We Keep Missing Each Other
    Apr 18 2025
    This week, James unpacks the juicy concept of circum-translation—that moment when you can’t find the right word, so you talk your way around it. From language learning to real-life debates, it’s about the power (and beauty) of expressing truth, even when it’s messy. With signature wit and fire, James tackles how we navigate hard conversations, miscommunication, and the importance of empathy in a world quick to shout but slow to understand. It's bold, hilarious, thought-provoking, and deeply human.

  • What a Bike Crash Taught Me

    What a Bike Crash Taught Me
    Apr 11 2025
    In this episode, James turns a scary bike accident into a powerful reflection on momentum—how we build it, lose it, and why it matters. Through stories of wobbly starts, Dutch bike culture, and life’s unexpected detours, he explores how confidence, planning, and taking your time can make all the difference when getting back in motion. It’s funny, honest, and full of real-life wisdom for anyone learning to ride through life’s stoplights.

  • Channel Your Inner Octopus

    Channel Your Inner Octopus
    Apr 5 2025
    What if we stopped trying to hold it all together... and started letting it all flow?

    This week, I explore what it means to live with more fluidity and freedom, inspired by the image of the octopus—intuitive, adaptable, and wildly intelligent. Through personal stories from the road and honest reflections from my own inner world, I invite you into a conversation about releasing rigid identities, honoring our evolution, and making space for the parts of ourselves that don’t fit neatly into boxes. Together, we dive into the beauty of becoming—embracing our weirdness, our wholeness, and the mystery of who we’re here to be. If you’re feeling the call to soften, stretch, and surrender a little more deeply... this one's for you.
