LISTEN TO MY PODCAST
New episodes land every Wednesday…
Nearing the end of the year that we've gone through has me returning to the basics in a lot of ways: simple meals, lots of walking and no-frills yoga, and re-watching classic holiday movies for the hundredth time.
And I wanted to do something similar here on The Transforming Anxiety Podcast this week and get back to the basics by considering: where does this whole anxiety experience come from, anyway? What's the impulse for anxiety?…
Wow. What a year last week was, huh? (Is that joke getting old yet?? Haha...)
2020 keeps piling on the intensity for sure. And I want to take a few minutes this week and talk with you about uncertainty, canceling, and change. Because it seems as if a lot of us are stuck in one gear of 2020-intensity and could benefit from hitting the *pause* button and coming up for air to remind ourselves what's what…
Welp, we're officially less than a month away from election day.
My husband and I have wondered if it feels important, contentious, and divisive simply because of where we're at in life (homeowners, with school-aged kids, he's a teacher, I'm a small business owner, we have parents who are retired, deep love for our community, etc.). Or whether it truly is THIS important, contentious, and divisive…
Are you familiar with the children's book We're Going on a Bear Hunt? In case you haven't been inside a preschool in the past, well, ever, it's a children's story about overcoming obstacles.
For some reason, 4 kids, a baby, and a dog are on this adventure (hunting bears?!) and they encounter a bunch of barriers (a deep cold river, thick oozy mud, a big dark forest) on their way to the bear's cave…
Who needs some rest?
My hunch is that we're all experiencing that "tired but wired" sensation that we sometimes get right before bed. You know, where you can't stop scrolling through Instagram even though you *know* you should put the damn phone down and go to sleep already? But on a mass, collective scale…
Well, this isn't the sexiest podcast episode, buuuut, what it lacks in glamour and happily-ever-after it makes up for in vulnerability, real-life anxiety, and legit: this is why I do this work.
If you're curious, join me for this week's episode of The Transforming Anxiety Podcast where I'm sharing my most recent *on the floor* moment with you, and how I'm taking care of myself after the meltdown…
If you had a dollar for every time you've recently heard, "these are uncertain times," am I right?
Listen, times *are* uncertain. But not any more uncertain than pre-pandemic. Times have always been exactly this uncertain...
So how do we deal with that sensation of being untethered and groundless? Where do we find certainty? Why do these times feel more uncertain than normal?…
When the memo for 2020 landed on our collective desks (pandemic! racial injustice! political strife!) it didn't sound great. And eight months in, it's still not sounding so hot.
But every once in a while, I come up for air and look around and think, "Huh, look at us! We're doing it!" It's messy and frustrating and weird, but we. are. DOING. it…
Is your idea of “handling” anxiety pushing it away, numbing it out, and avoiding it altogether?
I get it. And you're certainly not alone if this seems like a solid plan for managing the ick. In fact, this week on The Transforming Anxiety Podcast, we're going to talk about resisting anxiety and why outright resistance doesn't work...or serve you…
