Stop Wasting Your Life
Stop Wasting Your Life
Podcast Description
Stop Wasting Your Life began with a question our founder Ava Heinbach asked herself: “What am I doing with my life?”
Her journey—fueled by travel, raw conversations, bold adventures, and the courage to embrace what it means to be fully human—was shaped by the people she met and the lessons that cracked her open. Now, her mission is to share those stories and voices to help others live with purpose, depth, and freedom.
This podcast exists to inspire and equip listeners to create a life of intention—through honest dialogue, transformative experiences, and practical tools. We explore what it means to be fully alive: to embrace discomfort, pursue passion, prioritize well-being, seek adventure, and honor the messy beauty of being human.
Life is too short to live on autopilot—and far too meaningful to waste. Welcome to the journey.

In this episode of Stop Wasting Your Life, Ava Heinbach speaks with author Bryan Welch about how grief can become a powerful teacher. After losing his son, Bryan reflects on how profound loss reshaped his understanding of love, compassion, joy, and what it means to be human.
Rather than closing him off, grief opened Bryan to deeper empathy, unconditional care, and a greater awareness of life’s inherent sadness and beauty. This conversation invites listeners to see grief not as something to avoid, but as a path toward connection, wakefulness, and a more honest way of living.
