Being a Better Citizen. EP: 567 Nov 01, 2021

Show notes

This week on the podcast, in honor of Election Day (which is tomorrow), I’m talking about how to be a better, more engaged citizen. Most of us know it’s important to vote in our presidential elections, but those only come around every four years, and there are so many more opportunities to influence your state and local government for the better. Democracy is, after all, by the people and for the people. You are those people, and without your engagement, the government doesn’t work as it’s intended.

Who Is Your Messy Mentor? EP: 566 Oct 29, 2021

Show notes

Thanks to social media it’s easier than ever to immerse yourself in images of seemingly perfect people, in seemingly perfect spaces, living seemingly perfect lives. It seems like a fun diversion, but it’s often creating feelings of anxiety, depression, and making us feel worse about ourselves.

So, what to do?

Well, you COULD get off social media altogether, and I would applaud you. Or…. you could do this.

Your Mess Is Your Message. EP: 565 Oct 28, 2021

Show notes

Today’s big idea is that the things about you that don’t fit an image of perfection are actually a source of strength. They are often actually what you’re here to help other people with. Distilled into one catchy phrase, your mess is your message.

Make Friends with Your Inner Critic. EP: 564 Oct 27, 2021

Show notes

This week I hope to help us all see how perfectionism might be driving our desire to be better and to embrace all the many glorious ways we’re imperfect. Today I’m talking to someone who can help us do just that clinical psychologist and meditation teacher Tara Cousineau. Tara is the author of The Kindness Cure, creator of the course Overcome Perfectionism Through Self-Compassion for the meditation app Insight Timer, and a faculty member at the Harvard Medical School’s Center for Mindfulness. And Tara will help us see how self-compassion can help unwind the inner algorithms that lead to perfectionism.

The Roots of Perfectionism EP: 563 Oct 25, 2021

Show notes

This week on the podcast I’m talking about perfectionism, because as honorable as it is to care about being a better person and to give a shit about bringing your best and making a difference, we can go overboard with it all and feel like crap if we’re not doing our best at all times, which leads to feeling bad about ourselves and burn out. That’s not what we’re after! Got a comment or a question? I'm all ears!

The 5-Day Dawdle, Day 2: Take 20 Minutes Alone EP: 558 Oct 19, 2021

Show notes

Spending time alone is a key ingredient for replenishment. The thing is, when you’re alone, no one is talking to you, or asking you to do something, and you can hear yourself think. Even if you are the most extroverted extrovert, alone time is still helpful and important. Let me know what you do to replenish! Take a pic of you during your alone time and tag me on Instagram!
