The Return of the Mindmill Podcast | Featuring Yoshua Greenfield

Back on the MindMill

I am so incredibly excited to be back on the Mindmill Podcast. It feels so good to be healthy again, reunited with my friends and family, and to be back on the mic to share my first podcast episode in over a year!

For those of you who weren’t aware, in August 2019 I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma.

It’s amazing how quickly life gets turned upside down. On Saturday I hosted a pool party. Sunday I went out to dinner to celebrate a birthday. Monday I went to the hospital with stomach pains. And by the end of that week, I had been diagnosed and my mom had flown out to take care of me in the hospital. Thus started a journey of tests, scans, scopes, meds, infusions, fear, pain, depression, loneliness, slow recovery, and eventually a connection to loved ones and an appreciation of life I never knew possible. I will never be able to verbalize it all. Just know that my heart is full of gratitude for all of you who donated, prayed, sent gifts, visited, called, wrote songs, and supported me and my family through this chapter.

There is much I could say about my journey with cancer: so many incredible gestures by loved ones, so many medical professionals to whom I owe my life, so many moments of despair as well as beauty and joy.

I will never be able to verbalize it all. Just know that my heart is full of gratitude for all of you who donated, prayed, sent gifts, visited, called, wrote songs, and supported me and my family through this chapter.

Rebuilding Normal in Connection with Nature

Since my return home from the Mayo Clinic in March, I have been continuing medical treatments, rebuilding my body, and readjusting to “normal” life, whatever the hell that is.

I've also been spending a lot of time in nature and in music, which brings me to introduce this podcast. My good friend and former mindmill guest Joshua Greenfield (Yoshua) has been a pillar of support for me through my sickness. He has also been through a massively transitional year himself. We got together outside of Boulder Colorado for a barefoot hike and a nature inspired conversation. I wanted my return to the Mindmill to be an open dialogue with a close friend. And so in this episode, we discuss each other's journeys, how we are both adapting to a COVID lifestyle, finding yourself through nature, and the future of the Mindmill and Yashua’s movement “You Enjoy Life”. I encourage you to go back and listen to Yoshua’s previous mindmill episode. But for now I hope you enjoy the return of the mindmill podcast.
