I love this podcast. Thank you so much Forrest for highlighting which is so often missed about people's circumstances. Your comments about poverty - there is often so little recognition about how difficult it is to start to look at wellbeing in a wider sense when you don't enough to eat - never mind real food!
I've really been enjoying your podcasts they are so created so well and I'm grateful for the opportunity to learn from ya'll but particularly I really love the father son relationship that you set such a beautiful example of it gives such hope for inspiring a healthy family dynamic. Thank you for all the work you've done.
I especially appreciated the commentary on “Tone”. The acknowledgment of how much the way we deliver the info has the nuance of so much information. The sensitivity of communication it’s so much more . Like you said if we could play it back and hear ourselves. It would be so much more than we realize when we’re saying it ! It matters !
also, is your dad neurodivergent? I only ask because I am and I really see similarities in him that I experience within my own experience especially what he said about people being more relational and also those of us who have had to take time to learn. Just wondering, because he has that 'spark' idk how else to describe that I find always seems to exist in fellow neurodivergents (like this pure expressive nature )
'The expressing of warmheartedness in various authentic ways, protects & feeds us as it flows through'. This is true for me. Thank you for giving it words.
SO painful to accept those things that are a reality I didn’t see. I hoped and hoped and hoped that eventually if I just kept the faith these people or situations would come around. True there is a child like quality in my hanging onto the idea I am able to be completely open and honest with others and that’s going to be met in a positive safe reciprocal manner.
Generally people think of expressing their agency by *changing* things. But deliberately accepting things as they are (i.e., letting go) is also a way feel a sense of agency.
Since this podcast is complex, some concrete examples of the 7 lessons would have added to the overall clarity and understanding of the discussion here.
I love Rick's passionate yet always gentle and positive riffs on the incredible privilege of a human life.

Thank you for acknowledging poverty and "luck of the draw" as huge contributing factors.
I really appreciated the wordsmithing (46:00) of "contentment" and accepting the moment "as is."
Thank you. Your work is meaningful.

It’s not that they can’t change, it’s accepting that they are what they are in the present
Thanks for all you do Forrest! And tell your fiance that we miss her videos! 👀♥️
amazing podcast

The more I hear Rick share from his personal early-life experiences, the more I wonder if we're related?!
"Letting go is an agentic act" about 29 minutes in. I do not know if I am hearing this correctly. Can you clarify? Great topic BTW!
