058: Uber Rides & Spiritual Guides, NYC Driver #1

Published: Jan. 25, 2019, 5:10 a.m.

This is a first and a burst of an episode, just a soundbite of a conversation that happened tonight. If you're interested in all I get to learn and hear, I'll continue to ask my drivers if I can share what happens in between one destination and the next.Uber rides kept me in motion when I felt stuck and aimless. Each and every driver showed up like a spiritual guide, offering me a connection—an immediacy—that lingered for days, weeks, sometimes even until this year. These drivers and our rides saved my spirit. And they continue to. I laugh my ass off in Uber pools, I ride shotgun whenever I can and buddy up, and without fail, I am always provided wisdom. I've missed countless—truly, 100 conversations by now—but tonight, 10 minutes into our ride, I finally pressed record. I swear, it wasn't me that directed our conversation back to my career as a breakup coach. This is just proof that when someone—anyone, and especially a stranger—meets a breakup coach, they are both compelled and inspired to share. The quality is poor and this is just for the joy of it. If you want more, I'll continue to share a guaranteed moment that uplifts me each and every time.
