#175 - How to Create a Cozy Space Sep 14, 2020

Show notes

We’re about halfway into September, and even though temperatures and even seasons depending on your hemisphere are different right now, something about life shifts when we hit September. And whenever I hit a shift, the importance of my environment is more obvious.

Creating a space that feels safe and cozy, whatever that looks like for you, is important for your mental health. This episode will give you steps on how to do that, but the important thing here is to name the importance of your environment when you’re in the middle of something long or at the start of something new.

#174 - Try a Meal Formula this Fall! Sep 07, 2020

Show notes

Now it’s not fall yet in weather or on the calendar, but it’s getting close. And while you might not think you’re the kind of person who would do a meal formula and very well could be right about that, I’d love to share with you how you might put one together to help your meals come together even more easily over these next few months.

#173 - What Is Your List-Making Personality? Aug 31, 2020

Show notes

Lists are a big part of our lives, especially in these uncertain times, but I think we sometimes think there’s only one way to make them. That’s not true! So today we’re going to talk about list-making personalities and how we can support what matters in our lives even more with how we approach our lists.

#172 - Resurrecting Routines Aug 24, 2020

Show notes

A couple of days ago, I asked folks on Instagram what one word they would use to describe their current relationship with routines. There were very few positive words, words that would indicate that routines are working. Here’s what we’re going to do for the next few minutes. We need to examine our expectations of routine, reframe what routines actually are, and then give you a next step or two to resurrect them.

#171 The Ten Things Saving My Life Right Now Aug 17, 2020

Show notes

I know that top ten lists can be a bit rote, but honestly, there’s something super life-giving for me personally to hear what other people are finding joy in. It gives me ideas of course, but more than that, it reminds me to pay attention to my own life and be even more intentional about nurturing the things in my day that give me a lot of joy. So I hope this list does that for you today!

Stuff Mentioned

In a turn of events that no one expected, least of all me, I’m a nail polish person. I ride or die for Olive & June nail polish.
Having a summer meal formula is saving me this summer. I talk about that idea here and share my own here.
