What if the life you’re living isn’t actually the life you want?

In this episode of Million Dollar Flip Flops, Rodric sits down with journaling creator, workshop facilitator, and self-discovery guide Kristan Swan to explore the transformative power of reflection, honesty, and intentional living.

Kristan shares how journaling became a cornerstone of her own healing journey and how it evolved into a mission to help others better understand themselves, uncover limiting stories, and create lives that feel aligned with who they truly are. Together, Rodric and Kristan dive into the role of self-awareness, authenticity, masculinity, womanhood, boundaries, creativity, and the often-overlooked courage required to sit quietly with yourself.

From guided prompts and poetry to continuous line drawing and breathwork, this conversation explores practical tools for gaining clarity, building self-trust, and making decisions that reflect your values rather than external expectations.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, disconnected, overwhelmed by busyness, or unsure what you really want, this episode offers a powerful reminder that growth begins with honesty—and that the answers you’re searching for may already be within you.
