The Manuel Transmission

🎙 Transmission Six | Life on Shuffle
A week of brain surgery, shifting ground, emotional whiplash… and the Allman Brothers Band reminding us to breathe.
This week felt like someone hit shuffle on our lives.
Family health scares, leadership changes, cross-country travel; ten different lives in seven days, and somehow we’re all still standing.
In this episode, we talk about:
  • What it’s like when life doesn’t ask permission
  • The overlap between gratitude and overwhelm
  • How support isn’t fixing, it’s noticing
  • Why “Ramblin’ Man” became the anthem for this week
  • What slowing down actually gives us
  • The quiet truth about limits, love, and showing up
We also bring back Hi/Lo, because a week like this demands it.
If you’ve been carrying a lot (and pretending you’re not), you’re in good company.
Take a breath, settle in, and join us for a grounded, honest conversation.
