Today’s episode is all about finding joy in the time we share with others, especially during life’s big transitions. In this interview, I sit down with Brooke Flask, who is wrapping up her semester at the University of Florida before transferring to the United States Naval Academy. Together, we reflect on the people who have shaped us—family, mentors, friends—and the values they have instilled: kindness, empathy, and unwavering support.

We dive into what it truly means to be present in our relationships: active listening, small daily habits that spark joy, and carving out space for others even when life feels hectic or uncertain. You’ll hear personal stories about balancing the excitement of new beginnings with the bittersweet reality of saying goodbye, and learn how embracing every moment with intention can turn ordinary interactions into lasting memories.

Whether you’re navigating your own transitions or looking to deepen the connections in your life, this conversation will remind you that joy isn’t just found in milestones—it’s created in the everyday moments we choose to share. Tune in and discover how you can become a little bit of joy in someone else’s world.
