There’s something heartbreaking about looking into the eyes of a child and knowing that life will inevitably bring them pain. As Ryan watches his daughter grow, he finds himself wishing he could protect her from the disappointments, heartbreaks, and struggles that shape us all. But alongside that wish is a different kind of prayer — one that reaches far beyond his own family. Continuing yesterday’s reflection on seeing others as they truly are, Ryan explores what it means to love someone without being able to shield them from life, and the extraordinary possibility of wishing something deeper for the people we cherish.

On the Waking Up with Ryan podcast, coach Ryan Weiss explores how the first five minutes of your day can shape everything that follows. Through short daily audio and video episodes (10–12 minutes), he delivers powerful "moments of awakening" designed to interrupt the inertia of fear, ego, and judgment, helping listeners reconnect with themselves before the noise and demands of the day take over.
Blending wisdom, meditation, and practical insight, Waking Up with Ryan offers a daily ritual that grounds, inspires, and empowers listeners to move through life with greater intention. More than just a podcast, it is an ongoing exploration of self-discovery, presence, and what it truly means to remember who we are.
