Catio Chats Podcast - Episode 5 - Jonathan: The Explorer

What started as a reflection on my first triathlon turned into something much bigger. In this solo episode of Catio Chats, I explore the relationship between ambition, curiosity, happiness, and the little kid I used to be...the one who just wanted to build things, explore the world, and find out what was possible. From struggling with addiction to rediscovering my love for endurance sports, creativity, and life itself, I've started to realize that maybe the goal was never really about reaching a particular destination. Maybe it's about finding a direction, embracing the unknown, and remembering to enjoy the adventure along the way. I explore chasing big goals without tying one's worth to the outcome, finding joy in the experience itself, and reconnecting with the parts of ourselves we sometimes leave behind as we grow up. Childhood me wanted to be an EXPLORER. I just didn't have a word for it then. Maybe this episode will remind you of the explorer in you, too.
