The Comin’ Home Podcast with John Alan

Episode 111: with my guest Lexie Koren

Lexie Koren is a Psychotherapist, Sexologist, Transpersonal Coach, author and actress.
What is healthy porn? Is online dating the new normal? How do you maintain your fitness in all aspects of social, mental and emotional health? In this conversation, Lexie and I also discuss the forces of change in Norway and the USA, and I pose the question: Where ARE the forces of change in Norway? Norway is consistently ranged at the top of the list of the world's happiest countries, and I wonder if Norwegians are too complacent and padded in their comfort to demand significant change in their society.

Episode 110: Prayer, Meditation and Non-thinking, Solo Sunday with John Alan

I take at least ten minutes of my day and reserve it for myself. It’s my time for silence, meditation, prayer and non-thinking.
Having so many thoughts and ideas can be overwhelming and frustrating.
I suggest using a journal or other method of documentation so that your ideas and plans don’t fade into nothingness. If you've thought about something for more than a fleeting moment, then it’s likely an idea that is worth seeing the light of day. Document these thought and inspirations, and put them into actionable development when the time is right.
I’m still physically messed up since neck surgery two weeks ago, and incapable of much. I am, however capable of planning and documentation, so that’s what I’m doing. Surprisingly, or maybe not so surprisingly, I have a few projects that are coming to life now in these days of almost no physical activity on my part. I'll get more into these projects with you on upcoming podcast episodes. 
Be well people. Go make something happen!

How to Stay Majestic - Episode 109

Well, after a hasty surgery on my neck, I am far from on my feet, but I did manage to drag myself to the mic and check in with you good people. I talk about my hospital experience, and the last thing that I heard the anesthesiologist say before I was knocked out.
I am battered, but not broken. I am down but not out. For me, it is very important to remember that setting and achieving goals teaches perseverance through adversity. I will "get my life back", as I put it in this episode.
Have a listen, and get an idea of what I have planned for my future.
Be optimal and MAJESTIC in all aspects of life.

Episode 107: February 12 2021Solo Surprise

Today I talk about the passing of legendary producer Elliot Mazer. He produced albums for Neil Young, Linda Ronstadt, Janis Joplin and my good friend Øystein Remme. Yep, I had the great honor of working side by side with Elliot on Øystein's country album project (I wrote the lyrics for the whole album).
Also today: I have several friends who have just released their individual singles. They are Elin Eggen, Rudi Remme and Hans Cato Kristiansen. I talk about my relationship with each of them and their music, which you can find on Spotify, iTunes and everywhere you find music.  I also share my thoughts on how I feel that we have our own Laurel Canyon singer-songwriter commune and musical collective here in our area of Norway.
Lastly, I talk about how I was kicked out (?) of the hospital yesterday on the eve of my neuro-surgery.
