|15| Freshly Squeezed Alignment With Taegan MacLean

Hey everyone!  Thanks for tuning in and being patient with me.  I was actually supposed to release a solo episode last week but my family suffered a very sudden loss. My cousin Delicia passed on from this world at a whopping 22 years of age. I talked a little bit about it at the beginning of this episode and it's a strange but poetic coincidence that this week's episode is very much centered around grief and how sometimes beautiful things can come out of that space with time.   My cousin was an amazing person and this episode is dedicated to her.  If you want to learn more about her story you can do so here.  As an accomplished singer and musician it is her family's wish to set up a scholarship in her name.  If you feel so moved to contribute it would mean the world.

Now to introduce this week's guest! Taegan Maclean is a Writer/filmmaker exploring his life and the world around him one word at a time.  He created his deeply personal and insightful newsletter titled One Word  in 2022 and he took on the ambitious task of adapting it into a monthly video docuseries format this year. I think his story really shows what can happen when you are truly aligned with a passion project and lean into your most vulnerable self.  Grief is a difficult thing and we all get through it differently.  Taegan was open about his struggles grieving the loss of his father which ultimately shaped the creator he is today.

Find Taegan's One Word  Newsletter featuring his full collection of written pieces and his video series here.  His latest documentary titled Woodbine, is a beautiful love letter of sorts to his father and I encourage you all to grab a hot beverage and take it in!
