Ep. 31: Rising from the Ashes: How Gen X'ers Can Ditch Hope, Take Action, and Breathe Fire into 2025 (pt 2 of 2)
This is part 2 (or maybe part 2.5) of this series on hope. This episode was recorded before the start of the Los Angeles fires on January 7, 2025, and was originally supposed to be episode 30.
But to recognize the extreme devastation of the L.A. fires, I recorded a different episode for Episode 30 last week, to offer something deeper than hope to allow everyone to rise from the ashes of the L.A. fires: Faith.
So, instead of being Episode 30, part 2 of the original conversation on giving up hope is now Episode 31.
Make sure to go back and listen to Episode 29 to learn the 5 problems with hope . . .
and then listen to this week’s episode to learn 3 steps that you can take to tap into something much deeper than hope.

Understandably, the invitation to give up hope may not sit well with some of you. Why is that?
And, if that’s the case, don’t force yourself to give up hope. Start with the 3 steps that I share in the episode and let the rest figure itself out.
