Have You Ever One-dered??

Going to Europe anytime soon? (Or to a specific country on the European continent?) Know what you’re going to bring with you?? Glad you’re here, hope you’re well, C - Did you know that you can listen to the show live?? Since its inception, the live broadcast has been a cornerstone of this podcast, and is still so today. You can hop on to IG in the neighborhood of 5a pacific, 6a mountain, 7a centra...

It’s a day for encouragement! (Let’s encourage this headache to go away for good.) Some TIMELY thoughts on their way that particularly resonated with me recently and hopefully will draw your mind to better things as well Thanks tons for being here; it means a lot, C

Employment red flags (plus still some headache) Thanks so much for being here, C

Migraine episode :( C

The Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Model presents five strategies that you can consider using in any of your interpersonal interactions, friendships included. Although my opinion is that some are more valid than others in this context (which of course I share with you), they all merit discussion. We’re still trying to avoid total separation, you may have noticed. Take care of yourself and others, C

A couple of travel experts let us know which countries they’ve been to that they’d have to think twice about before visiting again. Thanks for being here, C

What if the resolution is right around the corner? C

FOR TUESDAY 4.22.25 (Forgive the upload mishap.) - Where’ve you been?? No, really. Not like why have you been missing the show (if that’s the case), but where have you physically been in the world? It’s a great thing to talk with ppl about, travel, and an almost foolproof way to have a conversation with your favorite introvert. Or a way to have a conversation with someone else if you’re your favor...

I’m still committed to trying to keep Mondays on the lighter side, and today we’re doing that by talking about one of my favorite things: practical steps you can take on any given day to make your life work better for you and your mental health :) Some of these suggestions come from other real ppl, some straight from my mind or experiences. See what resonates or perhaps gives you ideas of your own...

We’re back on track with this Conflict subset, y’all. As we near its close, it may feel like we’re attempting to put off the culmination (separation) by figuring out as many friendship-preserving options as possible. That’s exactly what we’re doing! Now is not the time to sacrifice valuable community on the alter of conflict aversion. Have you considered setting boundaries and then discussing them...

Wide scale financial instability is an occasional marker of our modern times. (I recognize the understatement; it’s intentional lol.) What are you doing about it? Or what are you going to do about it? Or what *can* you about it? We’re going to talk about where you can start, some goals you can consider, and the benefits of not avoiding money matters, even if they bring you notable anxiety. Bonus:...

I find health and wellness interesting. I like knowing how best to take care of myself! It’s important and something I strive towards as I am able. As far as I can see, what we’re talking about today is not the way lol. And I was so fascinated by it that I couldn’t not tell y’all about it. So buckle in! Glad you’re here to chat health trends, C - Did you know that you can listen to the show live?...

How can you get an introvert to talk with you? How can you (an introvert) start a conversation with someone else that’s not going to make it feel like your brain is going to fall out of your ear? Let’s keep talking about it. It’s possible!! Thanks tons for being here, C - Did you know that you can listen to the show live? Since its inception, the live broadcast has been a cornerstone of this podca...

There is ALOT going on today! Let’s take a few mins to look out and up. I know I could use the time, and I hope it benefits you as well. Sincerely. So much to do, but there is still time, C

We’re taking a break from the conflict subset to talk about what healthy friendships should look like. Could look like! Healthy resolutions and interactions can exist. Don’t lose hope :) Don’t give up! C

The lightness you’ve been waiting for! Oh wait, maybe that was me. Either way, there’s lightness and humor and things to consider today. Would love for you to join. Take care of yourself, C

It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to! That song is stuck in my head today lol We’re having art fun talking about music and poetry that’s meaningful to me and it’s a heck of time. Come join! Celebrate life and beauty, C

I had such a great time with the start of this conversation (yesterday) that I had to keep going! How do you attempt to have a meaningful interaction with someone when one of the two parties, you or the other person, is an introvert? Let’s keep talking about it. Thrilled that you’re here, C

Are you going to venture into trying to have a conversation with someone who exists towards the introverted end of the energy spectrum? Don’t go in unprepared. Thanks for being here to chat, C

We’ve made it to Boundaries! We’ve been talking Expectations as a part of this Conflict subset and today we’re talking about categories of boundaries that often work for people to incorporate into their friendships. Or at least attempt to address them! Thrilled you’re here; keep at it, C

This is the other one we said we’d delve more into right? If there was anything that would be a valuable use of your thought and listening time, it is the idea of gratitude and ways to increase it in your mind and life. Come on in, and thank you for being here, C

This one gets challenging. There are multiple intra-episode content warnings for you to be mindful of, so give yourself the grace you need. We are discussing cycle breaking: Ways that people who are parents now (or who would like to be) are planning to halt or disavow behaviors that they experienced as children. Tread with caution for yourself and your healing, but come on in. Take care of you and...

Did you know there are scientifically-studied ways to help manage and combat anxiety?? I knew there were ways, but I didn’t know that the scientific community had gotten involved. Let’s talk through several and see what might work for you. Take a deep breath, C

Need some encouragement? I do. I’m glad you’re here, C

Can you believe we’re 25 parts into this?? Another truncated episode to end a changeful week. We’re talking about the benefits of letting go of expectations, and there are several. Thanks tons for your patience, and for being here, C
