Hello, I'm Eddie, this is Doing the Best We Can. This show (and the matching newsletter) is about you and me finding ways to traverse life together. Some of those ways will be random/small/silly, and some will be big/brave/scary. But every week we'll dive in, have a conversation, and maybe even learn something about ourselves.
Today’s finale is quite a ride: I share a crazy story, say goodbye in my own way, laugh with Uncle Jimmy and play some old songs.

Join me on a thought-provoking journey as I delve into the interplay of life's unrelated events that find a place in the middle of our mental Venn Diagram. We’ll ponder the juxtaposition of longing for time to pass quickly while mourning the end of time.
It’s an introspective episode that navigates the complexities of life, loss, meditation, and the ever-elusive quest for silence. Buckle up…

In this episode of "Doing the Best We Can," I answer a question from a listener who is a new stay at home dad. I also draw out a really intense analogy between an underwater freediver and the challenges and pressures of parenting. We talk about vulnerability and community support, urging fellow stay-at-home parents, like our listener, to reach out to their own "rescue divers.” It’s an analogy filled week!

Today, we will be discussing the delicate topic of encouraging a loved one's health without nagging. A listener reached out with concerns about her husband's dangerous weight and resistance to change, and we will explore whether or not we can actually change a person. Is it our job to do so? Is it kind to care, especially when the stakes are high?
