Sammy Stoltz x John Hopkins Podcast
An honest conversation about the life we keep postponing.
A few weeks ago I sat down with Sammy Stoltz, a fellow Substack author whose work I’d come to admire, for a long and honest conversation on her podcast, Shine In & Out - where science meets soul.
We went straight to that awkward question around mortality, and how, when we stop running from this awkward subject, we can discover the secrets of living fully.
ALIVENESS
A philosophy and practice for living fully in the awareness that life is finite.
Subscribe free to receive the Aliveness Practice mini-course, your introduction to a two-minute daily practice for the life you keep postponing. Paid subscribers also get monthly live coaching sessions and my AI guides.
Sammy and I talked about why success without purpose leaves you restless, and how facing the fact that life is finite makes you braver, clearer, more present, and far less willing to postpone the things that actually matter.
We got into reverse-engineering your life from the end to avoid living with regret, and the difference between mindfulness and living with aliveness.
We also touched on a growing hypothesis of mine… that fear might just be an evolutionary force!

I am a former CEO, acclaimed creative, soul midwife and druidic bard. I have a dream that Aliveness becomes as impactful as Mindfulness. A daily practice that builds braver lives, fewer regrets and a more present and generous world.
