📦 Ever had your lunch stolen by a baboon mid-safari? We have. And it taught us everything we need to know about stress.

In this wild and wise episode, Rusty and Erica take you from Tanzania’s Ngorongoro Crater to your own nervous system, showing you how to convert stress—rather than collapse under it. With laughter, story, and science, you’ll learn how to turn pressure into power, anxiety into action, and static into sacred signal.

🧠 Highlights:

• Real talk on cortisol, chaos, and midlife mental rewiring

• A Stress Conversion Kit (breathwork, reframes, body resets, and joy cues)

• How to stress-proof your environment with tiny, sustainable shifts

• Why celebrating your small wins might just save your sanity

• And yes… a baboon theology moment you won’t forget

Jungle detours. Melting ice cream. Sticky pineapples. And one sacred trumpet.

In this episode of The Latitude Adjustment, Rusty and Erica take you deep into the Guatemalan rainforest—and even deeper into the mindset of real optimism. Not the “just smile” kind. The kind that rises when the plan crumbles, the river floods, and the howler monkeys start yelling.

You’ll hear stories from Tikal, airport delays, and grocery line chaos, all reframed with humor, grit, and sacred perspective. You’ll build your Optimist’s Survival Kit, fire your inner doom narrator, and learn to celebrate even the smallest wins—like not spiraling... or brushing your teeth on a hard morning.

Because optimism isn’t a mood. It’s a machete. And you’re still in the jungle, baby.

A casual murder confession, a marathon in Tanzania, and goats with attitude. This episode dives into what it really takes to navigate life’s chaos with grace, humor, and a reset ritual that doesn’t require a life coach named Celeste. From impulse bangs to emotional piñatas, we’re talking bad days, mindset pivots, and not packing the dead goat. 🐐
