People often resist change. Change of any kind, whether we perceive it as “good” or “bad.” One of life’s challenges is knowing when to preserve and when to change direction. If and when to cross the bridge, burn it down or take another path.

In this episode we discuss navigating these changes, stepping into the abyss of darkness to see the light that comes, and so much more.

And speaking of changes, we are taking an indefinite hiatus on Jamming With Jason Mefford. If and when we issue new episodes is yet to be seen, but you can watch all of the Jamming with Jason Mefford episodes on Jason’s YouTube channel, where you can also find other podcast videos and new LIVE videos. Jason’s not going away, just changing how, when and through what channels he shares going forward as discussed in the episode.

Are you in the rat race, want to get out and find yourself? Are you finding yourself at midlife and realizing you want a more fulfilling, authentic life? You are not alone.

In this episode I talk with my friend Mo Issa who recently published his new book, “The Midlife Shift: How I Left The Rat Race and Found Myself” who shares his path to more peace as he is navigating the second half of his life in a new way.

From feeling like he just wanted to run away to an ashram in Tibet, finding peace in a war zone, synchronicity of getting a tattoo, and adding another hat to his life of personal development, in addition to his work and family life. As a successful business owner and writer, he shares how he is now more intentional, changing his beliefs, giving up control, working on having the whole pie, and so much more as he chose to invest a part of each day to his personal development.

This an so much more in this episode as Mo shares golden nuggets from what he is learning and how he is changing each day.

One thing my mentor often says: “it has nothing to do with you.” In this episode, we explore what that means and how this saying can help us see where our energy is leaking, where we are getting pulled into drama, and how we are getting wet with what’s going on around us. Ultimately what we choose to engage in uses our energy. Are you spending your energy on things that really matter in your life, and in your evolvement?

What does a poem about the Canadian gold rush and the song “Me and Bobby McGee” written by Kris Kristofferson (famously covered by Janis Joplin) have in common? The are both tales of journeys that we can learn a lot from. Self isolation, regret, carrying burdens, heartache, keeping our word, feeling good, and freedom… just to name a few. Things we all deal with on our journeys in this life.

In this episode we discuss the synchronicities that led to the creation of this #podcast episode, the story behind the song, the meaning of the lyrics and poem, lessons we can all take to make our life more fulfilled, with less regret and attachment, and the rest of the story about Janis Joplin’s part.

“Freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose” is a line I have been making sense of for over twenty years, and now it means something different to me. So don’t trade all of your tomorrows for one single yesterday, but let go and feel good in the present moment, peace, love, and well-being.

Cause feeling good is easy, when we sing the blues,
You know feeling good is good enough for me, you, and Bobby McGee.
