About this listen

What’s Your 1 THING? is where personal development meets social experiment. Each week, I take on one self-improvement challenge, record the chaos, and see what actually sticks. The show blends storytelling, reflection, and humor — imagine a podcast, a diary, and a science project had a baby. It’s equal parts insight and entertainment, because growth doesn’t have to be so serious. Come along, Alice — let’s tumble down the rabbit hole together through experiments, games, and conversations.Jordan Hiller Social Sciences

  • It's not too late to start over
    Jan 12 2026

    "It's not too late, it's never too late" There... Now that you have 3 Days Grace playing in your head, we can begin.


    Hello friend, it's been A WHILE.


    I know I know, you've all been harassing me asking things like

    "are you ok?!"


    "Where have you been?!"


    "Is everything ok?!"


    And the answer are.... Yes, I've been here, not now but they will be.


    But more on that later. For now this is about you. It's not too late to start over. No matter where you are or what you are going through. Keep your head up. You've got this.


    Ok, that's it for now. Hopefully I'll have more witty and inspirations notes for the next episode.

  • At Your Funeral, What Will People Say?
    Dec 8 2025

    This week, I tried to answer one of life’s biggest questions: What’s the meaning of all this? After spending seven days exploring spirituality, connection, and the stories people shared with me, I realized something—this isn’t a topic you figure out in a week. It’s one you feel your way into.

    So today, while I take real time to process everything I’ve learned, I’m pulling an episode from the vault. It begins with one question that hit me hard after attending a funeral:
    What’s the one thing you want people to say at your funeral?

    In this episode, I talk about life’s distractions, the habits that pull us away from what matters, and the wake-up calls that remind us of what’s actually important. It’s raw, honest, and maybe exactly the pause button you need today.

    Think of this as the space between my dive into spirituality and what’s coming next—and a chance for you to reflect on your own answers before I return with everything I’ve learned.

  • What Is Spirituality… and Can You Actually Find It In 7 Days?
    Dec 1 2025

    What is spirituality?

    For most of my life, that question has made my brain short-circuit. Religion never clicked. Energy and vibrations felt too abstract. And any time someone asked what I believed in, I had one go-to line:

    “I stopped answering questions I don’t have the answer to.”

    But lately… I’ve been thinking:
    I want to feel connected to something bigger than myself.
    I want to understand what people mean when they talk about guidance, intuition, or feeling part of something more than their own stress and thoughts.

    So this week, I'm running a 7-day experiment to find out:

    What is spirituality — and how do you actually find it?

    No doctrines.
    No pressure to believe anything.
    No rules.
    Just curiosity, honesty, and direct experience.

    In this episode, I share:

    • my personal history with religion, skepticism, and science

    • why spirituality has never made sense to me

    • why I finally feel ready to explore it

    • what I hope to feel, understand, or discover

    • the one question I’m asking people all week:
      “What does spirituality mean to you — and what does it feel like?”

    If you’ve ever felt disconnected… skeptical… curious… or secretly wished you felt what other people seem to feel so naturally — this one’s for you.

    Let’s see if spirituality is something you find… or something you feel.
