What can riding waves teach us about navigating life?

Surfing legend Shaun Tomson and poet and philosopher Noah benShea join me to discuss their book, The Surfer and the Sage — and the experiences behind it.

We explore finding hope after loss, the difficulty of forgiveness, and the courage it takes to let go. We also talk about moving forward without certainty, questioning the stories we tell ourselves, and making room for kindness and silence in a world competing for our attention.

Shaun shares his personal code of twelve “I will” statements and explains how writing our own can help us find purpose and turn intention into action.

IN THIS EPISODE

• How our inner world shapes what we see
• The difference between giving up and letting go
• Taking the next step without knowing the outcome
• Finding purpose through a personal code
• Kindness, social media and the value of silence
• Parenting: balancing protection and freedom
