Right Here! Right Now!
RIGHT HERE! RIGHT NOW! is a brand new podcast where we remind you that being present and mindful in each of our moments is the only way to truly be able to learn. And from LEARNING comes GROWTH! A true transformation into our most authentic selves. The mindset is that we must be present and looking for the lesson in what we are experiencing - day to day; moment to moment. And one of the primary purposes of learning and growth is to take us to places we did not think were possible and to prepare us for a challenge that will make us better human beings; or the lives of our families better; even to help our colleagues and those in our charge better. Sometimes the challenges are known - so many times the challenges are a bit of a surprise. As long as we see the challenge as an opportunity, we will learn from them and carry on to better places down a path lined with lessons and teachings. We recognize in this philosophy that we have the capacity - even the responsibility - to begin again - and your NEW beginning starts RIGHT HERE! RIGHT NOW!
Right Here! Right Now!
Threshold to a New Identity - Right Here Right Now

What if real change doesn’t begin with a resolution, but with a decision about who you are becoming?
In this episode of Right Here, Right Now, we step beyond the familiar “New Year, New You” cycle and into something far more sustainable: identity-based change rooted in presence.
Using insights from psychology, mindfulness, and James Clear’s Atomic Habits, this episode explores why so many resolutions fade quickly and how lasting transformation emerges instead from small, deliberate actions aligned with who we wish to be.
Along the way, we reflect on:
- The Fresh Start Effect and why temporal landmarks like New Year’s Day feel so compelling
- Why focusing on what we want to do often fails, while focusing on who we want to become endures
- James Clear’s three layers of behavior change: outcomes, processes, and identity
- The idea that every small action is a vote for the person you are becoming
- How mindful awareness and breath turn ordinary moments into thresholds for renewal
The episode closes with a personal, poetic reflection written on a New Year’s Eve train ride into Brooklyn, weaving memory, nostalgia, and presence into a final invitation: to begin again, not once a year, but moment by moment.
This is an episode for anyone who feels the pull to change, but wants to do so with patience, compassion, and depth.
