I very rarely listen to podcasts or watch educational YouTube clips.

Instead, I surround myself with people in my life, including teachers, whose translation of concepts is one that resonates with me at a deep level. This happens with my circle of friends naturally.

If a friend listens to a podcast and loves it and wants me to listen, I will ask her what spoke to her in it and what got her excited.

Her translation of the pieces that mattered is way more valuable to me than the original transmission.

When it comes to health and longevity, I will ask my brother because his knowledge is one I trust. Almost any time he tries to send me a study or something he’s read, it’s a no. Of course there are exceptions, but most of the time, I learn through people that my soul has deemed appropriate for my overall growth.

This has not been an intentional thing, but rather something I have observed of myself over the years. And it’s something I trust deeply.

It is also how I landed here.
