Embracing Anxiety w/Karla McLaren

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...

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…

Macro & Micro-People Pleasing

Macro & Micro-People Pleasing

Happy Wednesday. 😊 I had this interesting epiphany a few weeks ago in a conversation with a friend of mine and thought, yup, we need to talk about that on ​The Transforming Anxiety Podcast​.

I think most of us can find ourselves somewhere on the spectrum of *people pleasers*. It's pretty ingrained in us from a young age that making the people around us happy means: we get attention, we get approval, we get love…

Birthdays

Birthdays

So this week we are talking about ​birthdays on ​The Transforming Anxiety Podcast​...mainly, honestly, because my birthday was Monday the 22nd and because every year, I get all in a tizzy about it...

...and I've found I'm not alone with this….

How To Get Out of Your Head

How To Get Out of Your Head

Over and over again, I talk with students who describe feeling as if they can't turn the volume down on the thoughts in their minds. That incessant chatter gets relentless. The stories and ideas just swirl around until it all becomes a tornado.

*exhausting*…

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…

The Neighbor's Dandelions

The Neighbor's Dandelions

I don't know about you, but I looooove to put my nose into other people's business. (Except I do know about you...I'm guessing you do this, too. Only about 100% of my students and friends and family do it. 🙃)…
