Don't Forget About the Nature Around You May 25, 2021

Show notes

It's common to have a go big or go home mentality when it comes to connecting with nature. Like we have to go on a big camping trip or live in a place with a grand mountain range. And we discredit the beauty and wonder that can be right out of our front door or even a quick drive away. Join me outside today as I ramble on my morning stroll about how to connect to the nature closest to you. Join the Collective: www.naturallyrandikay.com/healingseason

When You Start Feeling Better May 18, 2021

Show notes

While there's a lot of talk about how to feel better, there isn't a lot of talk about what to do when that actually happens. It seems counterintuitive, but when you've gotten so used to living with pain and stress, feeling better can actually be difficult to embrace. In this naptime ramble episode, I explore: - this reaction we can have to joy and why we shut it down - why it's so hard to relax - how we can and why we need to lean into the happier seasons of life - and more!

Springtime Self Care + Nap Time Rambles May 11, 2021

Show notes

Ah yes, the Springtime. The earth is waking back up. The animals are coming out of hibernation. We are refreshing ourselves after the slow Winter pace. And the Simple Self Care podcast is making a comeback! I'm not counting this as an official new season of the podcast because I'm experimenting with a new format that will help me still greet you on the airwaves while living that new mom life. We are testing the waters with this to see how the podcast will be moving forward. I'm calling it the "Nap Time Rambles" where I ramble on about a self-care topic within the duration of one of my five-month-old's naps, which happens to be around 30 minutes these days. So they will be more like my old school short and sweet episodes that are packed with self-care considerations and inspirations for your week. And to kick it off, I'm helping you make the most of the end of this Spring season by sharing my top tips for aligning your self-care with the healing energies of this time of year. Take a listen as I share some thoughts on: - letting go of perfectionism and showing up anyway - how to work through some of your self care hold ups - the healing qualities of Spring - the most simple and supportive way to detox - how to make the most of the Spring cleaning energy - and more!

Show notes

2020 was certainly a time, wasn't it? Along with the events and challenges we all shared globally, we also had our own personal high's and low's to work through. And while we are just starting to process all that went down last year, and we still don't have a lot of answers and solutions and a clear path forward, what we can do is stay in community with each other and find solace in relating to and learning from each other. So with this special bonus episode, I bring on my dear friend and podcast regular Artist Nichole Rae for the third year in a row to recap our year, share what we've learned from what's been thrown our way, and offer some insights on moving into the new year with more positivity and intention.

6.10 Lessons from a Pandemic Pregnancy Nov 05, 2020

Show notes

This pandemic has been weird and trying and unpredictable for everyone. We all have our own story of how it's changed our lives and shifted how we show up in the world. And for me, it's been happening amidst another huge life shift - pregnancy and becoming a parent for the first time. But the silver lining of any season of difficulty is that there are also very valuable life lessons to be learned and implemented. So to close out this season of the podcast, I'm sharing with you the top 5 lessons I've learned from being pregnant during a global pandemic. And since I know that only a small percentage of listeners are pregnant or planning on becoming pregnant during this time, the lessons I'm sharing can be applied to any phase of life or circumstance you happen to be in. And if you are pregnant, you'll get an added layer of value from this one. So take a listen as I share my insights on: - how to lovingly deal with an identity crisis - how to honor the grieving process - welcoming in new traditions and rituals - honoring your weird and quirky rhythms - how to celebrate your body, no matter the size and shape - how recovering people pleasers set healthy boundaries - staying present to the love and joy that you may be missing - the importance of staying in community, no matter what it ends up looking like - and more!

6.5 The Ultimate Self-Care Habit Oct 16, 2020

Show notes

Implementing new habits, especially when it comes to self-care, can be tricky and overwhelming. And it’s easy to want to apply the “all or nothing” mentality to building these habits because you are ready for results and you want them now. But this way of going about it is not very sustainable, and it can lead to burn out, negative self-judgment, and defeat when you fall short of your big expectations. And when your self-care is laced with those thoughts and feelings, it really isn’t self-care. So in this episode, I share a different approach that gives you some instant gratification, simplifies your habit changing process, and it's something that you can do every day to care for yourself no matter what. Take a listen as I talk about: - how to create a self-care practice that actually sticks - the power of showing up for yourself in small and simple ways - how your whole day can change in just five minutes - how to create a self-care non-negotiable you can start doing tomorrow - my personal non-negotiable that I do every day - and more Show Notes: www.naturallyrandikay.com/podcast
