I have a very technical, official episode of The Transforming Anxiety Podcast for you this week. (Ha, no I don't. That's a joke.) But what this episode lacks in formality it makes up for in USEFULNESS. We're talking about Relationship Math today…
The Opportunity Cost of Anxiety
We are constantly making decisions: this or that? In or out? Option A or option B? And I'd like to consider the opportunity cost of one of these (emotional) decisions in this week's episode of The Transforming Anxiety Podcast.
Specifically: what do we give up when we "choose" (however subconsciously) anxiety? What is the opportunity cost of anxiety?…
Family Anxiety
Lessons from Retreat
Personal Sustainability
Happy (almost) Earth Day! In honor of the spirit of sustainability, we're going to talk about personal sustainability on the podcast this week.
If you've ever tried to use willpower to create a specific result in your life or coasted the initial wave of excitement when you start something new, you know that they fizzle out sooner than later…
COVID Anxiety
3 Years, No Alcohol
Emotional Fatigue
Lovingkindness
Self-Care, 2020-Level
Do you remember when "self-care" meant things like bubble baths...and it worked?! I think back to, well, any time before 2020 (or any time before 2017? Let's be honest, I dunno...) when the self-care practices that I went through each day, things like yoga and meditation and hot tea and connecting with friends and laughing with my family, really nourished me and filled me up…
Election Anxiety
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…
Permission to Rest
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…
We Were Made for This
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…
Breathing Room
We're doing something a little different this week on The Transforming Anxiety Podcast! I'm sharing a bit about where I'm at, in my personal journey and in my offerings for you, and then I'm inviting you to take a short seat with me for a sweet meditation backed up with music from the amazing DJ Sol Rising.
