After the Storm [Hurricane Ian 2022]
It’s been intimidating trying to capture the experiences of the storm we just weathered here in southwest Florida. The first hurricane I remember was Hurricane Andrew. My family lived in Fort Myers at the time, and our family businesses were on Sanibel Island. For Hurricane Andrew we closed up our little mom-and-pop style motels on…
Active Constructive Responding
I didn’t invent most of the communication techniques I have become “known” to my clients for helping them learn. ButResearch I’ve come to believe it’s a colossal waste of time to try to define things as “my process” or “my techniques.” In any thinking partnership, ownership of ideas is fuzzy at best, counterproductive at worst.…
Sharing Needles
Sharing Needles Today I’m laid back in a lazy boy, sharing needles with half a dozen other humans at my local community acupuncture clinic. Each of us in our butt palaces, drawn up around a circle, with a doctor of Chinese medicine floating counter clockwise to put needles into us. I will look like…
We Get Better at Asking for Help
Relationship Patterns Aren’t Fixed This week has taught me something that is quietly helpful; we get better at asking for help over time. I don’t know who my dad borrowed the wild idea from, but as a teenager I remember him telling me “Morgan, the quality of your life will be determined by the questions…
How to Reduce Summer Squabbles
It Happened Right In Front of Me… I was sitting at the clubhouse pool enjoying my book, when a family with three young children descended with bags, floats, and a cooler full of treats. Mom lathered the kids in sunblock, Dad blew up the floats and the beach ball, and they all jumped in. Everything…
Living Gamefully
Living Gamefully One of my best allies lately in my own personal growth journey has been Dr. Jane McGonigal. I was 34 when I suddenly acquired a sensory disorder. Something changed in my brain, and I have battled crippling auditory issues for what seems like no reason. In the 18 months since, I’ve had my…
Hard to Help
I’ve been hard to help lately. Has that ever happened to you? You don’t mean to be a martyr and hog all the hard stuff. It’s not that you’re a perfectionist (maybe), or that you have energy to spare (who does). Maybe it starts because you’re a helper. You’re not against receiving help so much…
Tools We Use (and Recommend)
We’re Not Big Affiliates One thing you’ll learn quickly about Wild + Brave is that we don’t use Amazon affiliate marketing as a part of our business model. We don’t like the idea that our recommendations and examples could become self-serving. We don’t want to profit from purchases you make for everyday items. We…
Why I’m Not an Amazon Affiliate Anymore
Why I’m Not an Amazon Affiliate Anymore Lots of coaches and consultants support their revenue model by getting a tiny percentage of the sales they refer over to Amazon. In fact there was a time when we did it too. But then it felt weird. If you know me as a friend,…
Automations + Tech Hacks for Better Sleep
Automations + Tech Hacks for Sleeping + Waking: This week I reflected on how much better my physical energy, mental clarity, and emotional flexibility is when I’m sleeping and waking on a steady schedule, directed by light. When I’m camping, I can get away with letting the sun schedule my sleep and wake times.…
