Have You Ever One-dered??

I know it can feel like you can’t be “picky” with the work you do “in this economy” but is it truly necessary to devalue your physical and mental health, your equilibrium, your joy, your skills, your talents, yourself? Hours and hours a day, week in/week out, for years and years on end. Sigh. I understand financial necessity-believe me, I do. But quality of life is a necessity too and we have been...

“Perfection does not exist in humanity.” We’re talking about what excellent parenting can look like and the benefits of it! - (Please forgive the cut off. Technology isn’t always on my side lol. Thank you for sharing this space with me from a place of grace) - PLEASE NOTE: I did not say PERFECT parenting. It is an acquirable skill, even if you didn’t experience it, and it’s something you can alway...

Emotional depth can be challenging in human interactions. It can feel dangerous in a place where you are supposed to be able to find safety- Which can lead to superficial interactions with so many people that you ultimately end up feeling alone, even though you seem social and well connected. Not everyone should have access to the true depth of you. But the right people can. In hope, C

Ever so often, someone says something meaningful without realizing the impact it’s going to have on the person who hears it. I hope you find what you need, C

It’s a Song of the Week! I am so excited to present to you this brand new music-centered feature on the show. Last year we had a blast (my word) listening to 300 albums and discussing them together. Ever since I have known that we were going to get back to holding space to talk specifically about music on the pod, regularly. And just about a year after we started that massive undertaking, the time...

We’re still talking about the ND of it all. =) And having a grand old time doing it! There are friends out there for everyone, and everyone includes you. Let’s look at specific ways to get started. You can do this! C

There are events that are always, in some way or another, a part of human lives. And the celebration of two people choosing to affirm their commitment to one another, known colloquially as a wedding, is one of them! In times of feast or famine, chaos or calm, ideal or challenging circumstances, people will get married. But this increasingly pervasive sentiment that your wedding has to be an event...

Did I have Diiv on the brain when I chose this title? Yep. Is this an encouragement ep for the Indigenous People’s Day show? Yep.

It’s not just about living a long time (sign me up!) but living as optimally and healthfully as possible for as long as possible (no really, sign me up!) How??

Deep appreciation, C

I was so much more impacted than I expected to be talking through some of these points of advice. People helping people is what it can be distilled down to. And that is always a big deal, regardless of the size or scope. Thank you so much for being here. A little bit better is still better, C PS: Yes I recognize my use of the word “little” in the title yesterday and today. Not belittling ;)

I find it so engaging to consider real life advice from real people. It makes me think things and about thing that I might not otherwise cogitate on my own.

This morning is bright after all the steady rain, and every iris, peony, rose, opens its mouth, rejoic...

SPECIAL REPORT: The state of Rudeness (sigh) Y’all, I’m tired. And a little bit fussy. And apparently so are lots of other ppl. But that’s no reason to be rude. As a matter of fact, if you keep it up (the rudeness) you will consistently feel worse and so will your interactions with ev one else, from complete and total strangers all the way to people you love. Kindness and compassion, C
