Friction Points

Friction Points

The idea for this week's episode of ​The Transforming Anxiety Podcast​ is something I've personally been practicing with for a while...noticing those little moments or places during the day where things aren't flowing smoothly. When there are hiccups that totally derail my focus. Times when I struggle with something that seems like it should be much easier than it is...

It's been a while since we've had a guest on ​The Transforming Anxiety Podcast​, but I have some GOOD ones lined up for you in the coming months. And we're starting back in with interviews by talking with THE Karla McLaren...

Your Magic

Your Magic

Well, I've tried to do this episode a couple of times and I guess this one is tricky to pinpoint and talk directly about...but we're gonna try it anyway this week. We're talking about your magic on this episode of ​The Transforming Anxiety Podcast​.

What do I mean by "your magic?"…

Feeling It Without Being It

Feeling It Without Being It

So, it's time for another feelings episode on ​The Transforming Anxiety Podcast. ​BUT! This week we're going to explore how we can feel things without having those feelings ooze into our words and actions...

Have you ever totally lost your mind with your kid because you were feeling impatient? Or slammed a door out of frustration at work because your boss is so demanding?

Yeah...

Broaden & Build

Broaden & Build

Hi again...I've missed you. And I have a GOOD one for you today on ​The Transforming Anxiety Podcast​.

Y'know when you have those days where everything just clicks? Things are going your way and you feel like some luck or magic or your benevolent angels must have a hand in ushering good things to you…

Let's Talk About Self-Compassion

Let's Talk About Self-Compassion

Something we haven't talked about for a while, but need to return to every so often, is self-compassion.

On this week's episode of ​The Transforming Anxiety Podcast​, I'm sharing a talk from a mindfulness class I taught a while back.

The foundation for growth, change, and transformation HAS TO BE self-compassion. Otherwise, it'll never stick….

I Believe You

I Believe You

Something *super* simple (but of course these things are never all that easy) for you this week on ​The Transforming Anxiety Podcast​...3 little words that can change relationships AND anxiety. In a good way.

I.

Believe.

You…

What Community Looks Like

What Community Looks Like

Ok, *today* we are going to focus on something that I know brings a lot of confusion, guilt, and pressure (aka anxiety) into our lives...and that is: what community looks like.

I have experienced this myself and I talk to students every week about it. The people in our lives. Get-togethers and social gatherings. Family and holidays and vacations. Friend groups, acquaintances, colleagues.

Hold it Lightly

Hold it Lightly

Good morning. ☀️ I hope this finds you well. That you're doing ok so far this week. That you're hanging in, finding some flow, letting yourself breathe, and being kind with yourself.

On this week's episode of ​The Transforming Anxiety Podcast​ I wanted to explore how we can move through *all the things* without having quite such a death grip on life…

Back to Transforming Anxiety

Back to Transforming Anxiety

Ahhhhh, it's good to be back...​back to transforming anxiety.

In this week's episode of ​The Transforming Anxiety Podcast​ I'm sharing a bit with you about why I took a(n unplanned) break, how I personally struggle a bit, and what we have to look forward to together: work that I want to do, practices I want to steep myself in, teachings I want to stay close to…

Taking Out the Trash

Taking Out the Trash

This week on The Transforming Anxiety Podcast we’re going to talk about that inner pileup of garbage that happens after days, weeks, months, YEARS of conversations, work, get-togethers, parenting, and activities. Alllll the garbage that starts gumming up the works, internally. The residue that happens when we ignore ourselves a little bit, when we bite our tongues, when we hold back, when we make ourselves small…

Time Confetti

Time Confetti

I have something that sounds fun today, but is way more important than its cute little name and that is: time confetti.

Have you ever had the feeling that you should have more time in your days and weeks than you do? Or sat down to relax for a few minutes and then looked at the clock to realize that an hour had flown by? Or felt so completely fragmented and distracted mentally that even when you get a moment to focus on something...you can't?
