After a summer away, we're back with a conversation about anxiety, mindfulness, and what it takes to stop outrunning your own feelings. Spencer arrives on opening day of Santa Barbara's Fiesta, and the three of us trade what the break held. For Bruyan, that was launching the alpha of JoyFindr, the app this show has been shaping through years of conversations... and handing it to my mom, who is navigating Alzheimer's. Three weeks in, she told me it gave her permission to paint. Wayne is building a new rhythm inside a new job, using the Buddhist five remembrances to stay with the feelings he has spent a lifetime escaping. And Spencer said yes to everything... a David Arquette movie, three weeks without cell reception, and the grief that was waiting for him when the momentum slowed. An episode about rhythm, limits, and the difference between chasing joy and chasing escape. Welcome back to Chasing Joy.
