Episode 09: The Surfer’s Mindset

If you’ve ever felt like the effort of managing your mental health outweighs the rewards, this conversation with Angie Hawkins is for you. We explored the "surfer’s mindset", the idea that in life, as in surfing, you spend the vast majority of your time paddling and missing waves just for a few minutes of actually being on one. It’s a beautiful metaphor for grief and recovery: enjoying the peak of a moment even though you know it will end, because you trust there will always be more waves to paddle for. Angie reminds us that presence is more important than finality.
