Does your presence allow others to be seen and feel safe?
Today I want to introduce you to Santi, someone I believe was put into my life to share this place, joy, and the beauty of life and friendship
Santi is a human that has empathy as one who has known the hardness of life, one who loves life as a human that feels joy fully, and one that shows up as a friend with sincerity
We chat about what it means to be at home in yourself, to have community and friendship around the world, and to treat your own life as if it matters, because it does
He shares how the fear of losing mental capacity, the desire to live fully, and the fear in how he has made major changes in where he lives and what he does motivates him to hold onto all that life is becoming
We chat about change, a shared sense of simplicity and adventure, how insecurity of what we look like and how aspects of who we are that we don’t choose, can cause insecurity and what letting go of those things, fully accepting ourselves, and how that causes us to be whole and love life more fully, and live more fully
Santi is one who causes others to feel at ease within themselves, to know they are seen and valued for who they are, both as a friend and in his work, he is one that has chosen to build a life he loves and will remind you just how possible your own happiness is as well
So tune in and meet Santi and find out why this sweet friend of mine has kept a smile on my face, makes me feel so treasured, and has been my partner in art and life these last weeks
Life grants us the gift of knowing another and I am so honored to share this one with you today
And to you Santi thank you, thank you for being so fully you and for every second we have spent together, from runs to editing, shooting, random adventures, and simply the connection of who you are. I am so honored to have you in my life amor
What is Your Fellow Human?
These interview style episodes are all about the way we as people view life, the things we love and the things that cause us pain, the way we think, hope, and fear.
We each hold a unique place in this world, complete with our own dreams, culture, and perspective. It is the individual stories of those I meet along my journey that shape the way I see the world.
I’m excited to share these stories with you and hope they allow you to fall in love with humanity as they have for me.
