Heath In Pursuit

The Gold in the Crack

We’re taught to hide what’s broken. To patch it fast. To move on. But nature doesn’t heal like that. Neither do souls. In this episode, we explore the sacred art of repair through Japanese kintsugi, the biology of wound-healing, forests that regenerate after fire, jazz musicians who turn mistakes into music, and ancient stories where reconciliation costs something—and gives something back. This is for the spiritually curious, science-respecting, meaning-seeking listener who wants a life that feels honest and resilient, not glossy and fragile. No tidy answers. Just a deeper way to mend.

The Holy Drift of Things Falling Apart

Why does life feel like it’s always trying to come undone? The inbox refills. The house re-messes. The plans break. The body ages. The heart bruises. This episode is for the ones who want wonder over certainty—and meaning that can hold both science and the ache of being human. We’ll wander through physics (entropy, stars, heat death), ancient stories (creation out of chaos, manna in the desert), and the quiet interior practice of letting go without giving up. Not preachy. Not reductionist. Just spacious, honest, and strangely hopeful. For anyone who suspects that “falling apart” might be another name for becoming real.

Crown Shyness: How Trees Teach Us to Take Up Space (Without Stealing the Sky)

In this episode of Heath In Pursuit, we look up into the forest canopy and discover “crown shyness” — the way tree tops grow right to the edge of each other… and then stop. We explore what this strange, quiet behavior reveals about intelligence without a brain, healthy boundaries, competition and cooperation, and how to negotiate for light in our own lives without suffocating the people around us.

The Forest That Makes Rain (And the Life That Makes You)

In this episode of Heath In Pursuit, we step into a dense forest and discover something that feels almost impossible: forests can help make their own rain.
Not as metaphor.
As physics. As breath. As a living feedback loop—leaf to sky to cloud to return.
And once you see it… you start to wonder what else you’ve been calling “weather” that is actually relationship. What you’ve been treating like fate that might be participation. What loops you’ve been breaking—quietly—through extraction, shame, control, and hurry.
This is an episode about transpiration and the scent after rain.
About holy ground that doesn’t need your permission.
About the gospel of feedback loops—where “sin” is breaking the flow, and healing is learning to circulate again.
And somewhere in the middle of it all, an invitation:
Keep breathing. Keep giving. Trust return—without turning it into a deal.
Press play. Step under the canopy.And ask yourself… what kind of weather are you making?

When Your Life Won’t Manifest (And You Think It’s Your Fault)

You did the vision board.You scripted the future.You tried to “stay high vibe,” speak it, claim it, call it in.
And still… your life looks painfully ordinary. Or painfully hard.So is it you?Are you the glitch in the cosmic algorithm?
In this episode, we go after the quiet spiritual shame underneath manifestation culture and toxic positivity—the belief that if your dream life hasn’t appeared on schedule, you must be doing it wrong.
We’ll talk about:
“The god of the vision board” – how we turned the Universe into a vending machine and our souls into performance reviews.
Prayers that sound like shopping lists – old religious scripts in new, shiny language.
The violence of “good vibes only” – how positivity can gaslight your pain.
Desire without demand – wanting things deeply without making your worth ride on them.
This is an episode for the ones who tried to manifest their way out of grief, only to discover the grief didn’t budge.
It’s not about giving up on desire.It’s about finding a more honest, more human, more compassionate way to live with it.
If your life hasn’t “manifested” yet…maybe you’re not broken.Maybe you’re right on time.

When You Recognize Your Friends Are Pigs

What do you do when a lifelong friend sends a breakup email in the name of “self-care” and “Jesus”? In this episode, Heath unpacks the ancient line about pearls before swine and uses it as a lens to talk about ghosting with a halo, the dark side of self-care, weaponized spirituality, over-explaining yourself, and how to stop wasting years on people who refuse to be human with you.
It’s part therapy, part spiritual autopsy, part invitation to guard your pearls without hardening your heart.

When the Ladder Learns to Bow

What if the ladder you’ve been climbing—career, success, even spirituality—was leaning on the wrong wall? In this episode, Heath invites us into a slower, humbler way of living. Through stories of marathon runners, broken sprinklers, and ancient dreams, he explores the quiet holiness of bowing instead of climbing.
This is a meditation on ambition, surrender, and the sacred art of enough.It’s about trading the pressure to rise for the permission to kneel—and discovering that the ground you’ve been avoidingis already holy.

The Myth of Enough

We are haunted by enough.It’s the ghost that follows us through promotions and prayers, through applause and the quiet after.But what if enoughness isn’t earned or found — what if it’s remembered?In this episode, we’ll wander through stories of hunger and grace, capitalism and compassion, creation and Sabbath, asking what it means to live as though we already belong.Maybe the finish line keeps moving because there isn’t one.Maybe the miracle is that we’re already home, and we just forgot.

Humming at the Edge of Things

What if the forces that shape your life are the ones you can’t see? In this episode, we wander into the invisible—the social scripts we inherit, the memories our bodies carry, the resonance of belonging, the quantum strangeness of physics, and the mystery of spirit. We’ll talk wind and wires, tribes and trauma, paradox and tuning forks. Not as answers, but as invitations. This is a journey into the unseen currents beneath everything, a conversation for anyone who suspects there’s more humming at the edge of things.

Monsters at the Table

Just in time for Halloween, Heath dives into the strange, sacred, and surprising world of monsters. From ancient myths to Hollywood blockbusters, from biblical beasts to the shadows we carry inside, this episode explores why monsters matter—and what they’re really trying to tell us. Expect stories, surprises, and a few chills, as we wander through caves, face dragons, and even learn how to befriend the very creatures we fear most. Because maybe the monsters aren’t here to destroy us. Maybe they’re here to teach us.
