Mindful Monday Series: Compassion

Welcome to a 4-part series that I'm doing through The Transforming Anxiety Podcast feed called: Mindfulness Monday.

Conflict Anxiety

Conflict Anxiety

Fun times...today we're talking about CONFLICT over on The Transforming Anxiety Podcast.

But then, we talk about all sorts of fun stuff around here: anxiety, family drama, feelings, the messiness of life, emotional health...I mean, we were overdue for a chat about conflict, no? 🙃

Happiness & Joy

Happiness & Joy

Happy SUMMER! It's officially here and I'm on vacation this week. I'm visiting my home-away-from-home, Chicago, and right now I'm probably walking along Lake Michigan with an iced coffee in hand, hanging out with my adopted city, visiting my old apartment, and making sure some of my favorite places (like Ann Sather's, Unabridged Books, and Intelligentsia) are still there…

The One About Hope

The One About Hope

I recently finished reading Jane Goodall's newest book, The Book About Hope: A Survival Guide for Trying Times and I got to thinking...we should talk about hope.

How to Show Up

How do you show up with your family? How do you show up at work? How do you show up with your friends? How do you show up for the things you enjoy, the causes you believe in, and the activities that you engage in?

Listening to Your Body

Quick poll: on a scale of 1 - 10 (1 being not at all, 10 being totally tuned in), how readily are you paying attention to YOURSELF?

Uh huh...most of us are saying a big fat, "umm..." to that one and, if we're honest, landing closer to the 1 than the 10 on that scale…

Acceptance vs. Apathy

Acceptance vs. Apathy

If you've been hanging around with me for a while, you know I talk a *lot* about acceptance (if you're new, buckle up...it's a very common theme here). But I've bumped into something interesting in my own personal work and I wanted to bring it to the podcast and explore it with you and that's: acceptance vs. apathy…

Rushing & Rushing

Rushing & Rushing

Anyone else feel like they're trying to be Wonderwoman on a daily basis? 🙋‍♀️

The pace we (try) to keep is *insane*. We are rushing from here to there pretty much nonstop. We go from this thing to that thing and when we arrive we think, "huh, I don't even remember the drive over."…
