Show notes

I'm taking a week off from new episodes this week and re-airing a series I did last summer on re-thinking drinking. It is, after all, Dry January--in other words, a natural time to be thinking about drinking less, or not at all.

This week, let’s just see what’s ready to be seen in terms of our relationship to alcohol. I am NOT here to preach or proselytize, I promise! This is a judgment-free zone!! Let's just take a look, together.

[Being of Service]:CAN You Give From an Empty Cup? Balancing Self-Care with Helping Others. EP: 626 Jan 21, 2022

Show notes

You've heard the advice to put on your own oxygen mask first, and that you can't give from an empty cup (I've said this myself many times, including on this podcast). But I've been re-thinking this. Because, first of all, you don't have to have your shit together in order to help someone else. And second, being of service raises your own energy. So how do you balance self-care with helping others? It's kind of like making a smoothie.

[Being of Service}: Cultivating Courageousness with Rabbi Daniel Cohen. EP: 624 Jan 19, 2022

Show notes

Today I’m talking with Rabbi Daniel Cohen, who serves at the largest modern orthodox synagogue in New England in Stamford, CT. He’s the author of "What Will They Say About You When You Are Gone? Cultivating a Life of Legacy." He has been a rabbi for over 30 years, meaning he’s had hundreds of end of life conversations and delivered thousands of eulogies which gives him a unique perspective on life.

I wanted to talk with Rabbi Cohen about how to find the courage to shift your comfort zone to include standing up for what you know to be right, and to expand your tolerance for risk in a way that inspires you to step up and be of service.

[Being of Service]: Finding Your Lane So That Service Doesn’t Deplete You. EP: 623 Jan 18, 2022

Show notes

There are SO many people and causes that are in need of help that it can be overwhelming, trying to decide how to give back without overextending yourself. If you get involved in every cause or try to help every person that needs it, it’s easy to end up getting overwhelmed and not actually being that much help.

Today I’m sharing a strategy I’ve learned that makes giving back easier–so that you can do it in a way that lifts you up instead of wears you down.

[Being of Service]: Helping Others Isn’t Just a Noble Thing to Do–It Helps You Too. EP: 622 Jan 17, 2022

Show notes

Being of service isn’t just a noble thing to do, or something to tick off on a list of things that make you a better person. It’s actually beneficial to you too, primarily because it gets you into a higher level of energy. Not energy as in what my grandmother used to call pep, but energy as in your vibe and how you show up in the world.

[Stay Cozy]: Is Your Comfort Zone Truly Comfortable–Or Have You Just Gotten Used to It? EP: 621 Jan 14, 2022

Show notes

Warning: Deep thoughts about comfort zones ahead! In which I argue that maybe what you've become comfortable with isn't actually all that comfortable--it's just familiar. And how making changes that make SEEM like they're taking you out of your comfort zone are actually leading you to someplace where you are truly at ease. (And how to deal with the discomfort of the unfamiliar while your comfort zone recalibrates.)

Show notes

In addition to upping the cozy factor in your home and in your body–as I covered in the previous two episodes–seeking coziness and comfort is also worthy goals when it comes to making life decisions, like what you do for work and where, who you’re in a relationship with, and where you live.

Which flies in the face of most conventional advice, which says that you have to leave your comfort zone if you want to have a fulfilling life. So let’s break this down a bit.
