    Issue XLIII - My Best Friend’s Wedding (A reader was asked to officiate a wedding and wanted to know if I had advice. Which I do! Plus, the newly engaged Emily LeClair!)
    Aug 24 2023
    In this week's episode, Eddie delves into the world of officiating weddings. He addresses a question from a math professor who's been asked to officiate a wedding and is seeking advice on certification and tips for the role. Eddie reflects on his own experiences officiating weddings and shares insights about the significance of the ceremony, the certification process, and the importance of focusing on the couple's journey.

    Issue XLII - The Case Against Self-Doubt (Why are we so afraid to be imposters? And as a podcast bonus: How do we choose to stay (or leave) an unsafe environment?)
    Aug 17 2023
    Today, we take an insightful journey into the depths of imposter syndrome. You’ll experience a courtroom drama unfold as a lawyer boldly confronts 'Reasonable Doubt'. From there, we dive into a personal reflection about radio shows, comedians, friends, and role models. And finally, we’ll explore the value of creating and self-expression, navigating the challenge of being noticed while finding the courage to stand out.

    Issue XL - When you get below 50 meters, turn around! (A vulnerable journey of community support, paralleling the world of record-setting freediving. Plus, special guest: The Bro, Andy Buckwalter)
    Aug 3 2023
    In this episode of "Doing the Best We Can," I answer a question from a listener who is a new stay at home dad. I also draw out a really intense analogy between an underwater freediver and the challenges and pressures of parenting. We talk about vulnerability and community support, urging fellow stay-at-home parents, like our listener, to reach out to their own "rescue divers.” It’s an analogy filled week! --- -⁠LISTENER SURVEY! ⁠ -Advice questions? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Message me here ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠or at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠eddie@eddiekaufholz.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠-If you'd like to ⁠⁠sponsor Doing the Best We Can ⁠⁠(and why wouldn't you?),⁠⁠ fill this out!⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠-⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to the Newsletter,⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ please and thank you ⁠⁠ -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Send feedback + have your project shared⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Old newsletters and podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ -Eddie's ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠Threads⁠⁠ --- --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/doing-the-best-we-can/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/doing-the-best-we-can/support
