84. Your Mental Health Day
Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is step outside, look up, and let the wind take over. In this episode, Gregory Favazza spends an afternoon in Missouri flying a kite — a simple act that reconnects him with childhood, presence, and the importance of taking a real mental health day. What starts as a moment of play becomes a reminder that slowing down is not weakness but wisdom.

In this episode, Gregory Favazza takes listeners into a quiet Missouri afternoon where he steps away from the noise, grabs a kite, and reconnects with the kind of joy we forget as adults.

Sometimes it’s as simple as going outside and letting the wind do the work.
Greg reflects on the importance of intentional rest, reconnecting with childhood curiosity, and giving yourself permission to pause. This episode is a gentle nudge to take your own mental health day and rediscover the small things that make you feel human again.
