I stumbled upon this podcast amid some frantic searching for something positive and uplifting to balance out the steady (super unhealthy) diet of political podcasts I'd been consuming in the months following the U.S. election. I needed something to transport myself away from my endless outrage, away from my fury, far from my sense of helplessness. THIS is exactly what I needed. Not only is Brandon's take on our place here in life infused with magic and mystery, it serves as a constant reminder that, yes, despite what the news would have us believe, life is full of wonder! And also so much bigger than the fear-fueled day-to-day drama that can consume our hearts and souls if we let it. Positive Head is the perfect antidote to all the negativity and fear mongering out there. Personally, I got to the point where I simply couldn't take it anymore and this podcast is now helping me to create a new path in dealing with current events. It has taught me to think about what I wish to build, the world I wish to create, rather than the world I was trying so hard to hard to resist. For any activist type who is worried this is a head-in-the-sand solution, I would say it is exactly the opposite. My takeaway time and time again is, "Stop Fighting What You Don't Want. Create What You Do." It's my new rallying cry and it's more empowering and effective than all the resisting I've done. Another key point: Brandon brings a rare ingredient to the episodes that is often hard to find among other resources that tackle these sorts of topics: humor! Even if I look at the day's topic and at first think, "What? I don't know. That's pretty out there," I will absolutely listen and give it a chance with an open mind simply because I know that Brandon approaches each interview and episode with an open mind and a sense of levity and wonder around it. And I take away something actionable from literally every episode. A true gem. Keep on keeping on, Brandon and rest of the P-Head fam!
