"It’s not until we see the whole mosaic from a distance that we really understand it. That’s called perspective." This post explores the idea of seeing the bigger picture when life's immediacy seems overwhelmingly challenging. It also asks the question: what happens when we miss an opportunity for growth? Do we get another chance? Transformation is now. I hope this three-part series of posts has been valuable to everyone. These were hard posts to write.

What a fascinating place. Isle Au Haut is an island off the coast of Maine with about 50 year-round residents. The mail boat transports people and supplies only, no cars, between the mainland and the island. The school teacher teaches all four of the island's children in a one-room schoolhouse. Part of the island is part of Acadia. My visit happened to coincide with a potluck and Contra dance. Word of mouth spread, so that not a single dish brought to the dinner contained nuts. It was safe for the island's one guest, who happens to have a severe nut allergy, to come socialize (if not eat). The people know each other. They know the ocean. They know the value in a community so small. They respect each other, and they respect the land. They have to. In our society, too much of life is spent too far disconnected from the elemental aspects of our being: the land and the people that support us, test us, and witness our life, and our death. The way of life I saw in my short visit, though eye-opening, not completely unfamiliar to me. For this I am grateful. 🙏 Thanks @amaliafish for being there and for hosting me! #carlyoutsidethebox #nomad #home #explore #maine #exploremaine #isleauhaut #adventure #digitalnomad #millennials #lifestyle #intentionalliving
"I felt as if my slate had been wiped entirely clean. I had no home, no plans, and a shrinking support network. Semi-pro skier and semi-nomadic adventurer became who knows if I’ll ever ski again, and I exist nowhere. Not as good of a tagline. The powerful wave I was riding picked up and carried other debris with it, like a flash flood carrying away rocks and trees."

New blog post: the first in a three-part series describing what I'm thinking of as my spiritual upgrade. "I felt strongly called to aspects of my higher self that desperately wanted to shine through. I was ready to release old traumas, learn healthier ways of thinking and behaving, and attain deeper levels of communication with my intuition. But I had one foot still in my old mode of being. The two would never mix. Upgrading requires shedding the old systems. It’s not as simple as saying, okay, I’m now free from all these things that have caused me pain, and I now live as an enlightened Buddha." It's been a CRAZY ride. And it's not over yet. This is the story. Link in bio. #carlyoutsidethebox #spiritual #spiritualjourney #blog #blogger #nomad #home #explore #adventure #digitalnomad #millennials #lifestyle #intentionalliving
New England Contra dances are better than Oregon ones. During my time in Bend, I tracked down some local Contra dancing. It had a different flavor, but at its essence it was the same as the dances I learned to love in Vermont and New Hampshire: cool crunchy people and a social and supportive atmosphere. It made me homesick, but also made me feel at home in a way. Nothing beats the real thing though. So grateful to be here with these people. #carlyoutsidethebox #newengland #contradance #nomad #home #explore #adventure #digitalnomad #newhampshire #millennials #lifestyle #intentionalliving
New on the blog... (link in bio) Who loves a good travel story where everything went right? Well, most of us. Many of us also like a good story where something went hilariously wrong. What about when things just went… wrong? I managed to pack three of these stories into the month of March What Went Wrong With… Couchsurfing? One really awkward conversation. What Went Wrong With… Budget Airlines? Mine went out of business. What Went Wrong With… Sketchy (SKETCHY) Campsites? Prudent (sane) van-dwellers avoid gang activity. #carlyoutsidethebox #blogger #nomad #home #whatwentwrong #explore #adventure #digitalnomad #millennials #lifestyle #intentionalliving

Coaching Philosophy

When I work with athletes, I help them get MORE out of the training they put in. Endurance sports can be a fun and easy part of your lifestyle, if you have the right support, accountability, and knowledge.

Through online coaching, you get all of this, combined with the one element that will transform your training from something that you do to part of who you are: FLEXIBILITY.
