Or even free?? That might be something worth considering.. Keep breathing; and thank you for being here, C

I know they say that you’re not supposed to assume things because it makes… well, you know what they say ;) But what about some assumptions about your true friends that you can (and should!) make?? I’ve got three that you can and one that’s a bit questionable. Jump in and let’s consider them together. I’m so pleased that you’re here in this space with me, 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 show, regularly. And just about a year after we started that massive undertaking, the tim...

What a clear indication that someone you’re sharing the road with is potentially a bad driver? Stay safe out there, C

We’re talking about phobias again. As a point of interest yes, but also as an empathy building exercise. Really glad that you’re here, C

SPOILER ALERT!!! Today we’re talking about movies that have notable tone, mood, plot, or theme shifts. For some people and films, that also includes the idea of a twist that you may not want to know about. I get it. I don’t think many of the films mentioned are super recent, so there’s a good chance that you’ve already seen a lot of them, but if even the hint of a tone change or a plot twist would...

We did it! This is the FINAL installment of the Conflict subset of our adult friendship series. Not the entire series, just this conflict-themed part of it. We’ve covered so many things related to the hope for healthy conflict resolution. I hope it has been a help or perhaps has the chance to be in the future. Onward and Upward! Thanks tons for being here, C

We’re talking more about small towns around the US that you can visit to perhaps make taking trips for fun or relaxation a little easier or more accessible. Surprise special guest appearance as well ;) What fun! C

Take a break from some of your real life fears seemingly coming true and learn about some phobias that find themselves on the more unusual end of the spectrum. So glad you’re here and I hope you’re okay, C

Have you been doing any Spring cleaning? Thinking about having a big clear out? Want some extra space around the house? Let’s talk through some categories of items that experts say you should consider keeping. (Or at least donating!) …before you outright throw them away. Glad to have made it through some obstacles to be here. Thrilled you’re here too, C

I won’t say too much. We’re talking about nonverbal communication. It’s crucial. Thrilled you’re here, C

Big cities around the globe get tons of attention when people start to think of or make travel plans. But there are things to do in small towns too! And if you’re in the US already, domestic travel that doesn’t include flight time has the potential to be less hassle and more affordable. So let’s talk about some places you could go! Thanks so much for being here, C

It’s unofficially summer! (Kinda.) Going anywhere? On a plane? What are you planning to put on and why? Thanks for being here, mean it, C

Getting adequate protein is a great way to increase your healthfulness, especially my fellow vegetarians and vegans. Have you been keeping an eye on your intake? No shame, shade, or judgement, just a chat about some items that increase the amounts if that’s what you’d like to do. And in ways that can work for almost anyone, regardless of budget, time and labor available, and other potential dietar...

How much money will actually make you “wealthy” in your lifetime? Don’t worry; it’ll all work out, C

I know it doesn’t sound fit for a holiday based on the title, but there’s a reason I picked this topic for today. I hope you have some extra time to rest, C

What skills do you need to help make it more likely that you’re going to be able to participate in healthy conflict resolution? Thanks for being here, C

They seem to be pretty universal ideas, right? Beneficial for everyone? In theory yeah, sure. But what about in practice? Yes, what about it. Perhaps I can encourage you to contemplate them on both and individual and a global scale. Really glad you’re here (and that’s the truth), C

This sounds like a simple topic, and on the surface it is. Which food and drink items should or should not go in the freezer? But as we discuss this helpful information, let it also be a reminder to purchase and consume things with forethought and intentionality. So glad you’re here, mean it, C
