Real life experiences, (very) short stories, and reminders we can all apply to everyday life. Hopefully thought-provoding, always down-to-earth along with a l'il stream of consciousness and humor.

You can access over 250 SMFRThePodcast 5-10 minute audio episodes and YouTube 1 minute shorts below, which are uploaded several times a week. Note: There are no duplicates; often there's one YT short and an accompanying longer audio episode on the same subject.

My Patreon site is also available for a personalized musical performance (I'm a solo vocalist/guitarist) or a birthday/anniversary message video - or even just a personalized video just for you or a loved one.

Ep104: Peace of Mind (How To Find It and Keep It!)

Peace of Mind... not just a great song by the band Boston, but something we dearly need in our lives. Kind of in the "take a break" category but also more encompassing.

The IDGAF Method (It Works!)

Nothing kills us like our minds, so let’s not allow that happen. We are the bosses of our minds so let’s chill and leave that worry and anxiety in the dust. Like most life changes we make, if we practice IDGAF it really eases things and less stress equal more happiness. Works for me! Love all y’all!
