Well, we’ve reached the- BEGINNING. We’ve reached the beginning of this topic. You thought I was going to say end, perhaps because we’ve been talking about it all week? We were wrong. What is a friend and what can I start to do, where can I go to find them?? That’s some of what we cover today. And I, too, thought that four days in a row could potentially be enough to cover adult friendships in a w...

There’s an epidemic of loneliness afoot. It’s been studied and documented in the US, but it impacts adults across the globe who feel disconnected from their communities and isolated in their existence. I don’t think we can adequately discuss friendship this week without talking about loneliness. - I tried to tread gently while still moving forward; however, it’s okay if you don’t have the capacity...

Does anyone read descriptions? I admit, I don’t always when I listen to podcasts but in case you do, be forewarned: I’VE LOST MOST OF MY VOICE AND IT MIGHT BE DISORIENTING Apologies! I actually dont hate the way it sounds, it just doesn’t sound like “Me.” I’m pretty thrilled to sound like anything at all because by the end of yesterday there was wayyyyyyy less of it available than you’ll hear in t...

We’re talking about adult friendships this week. All week. (Minus the albums episode.) We’ve only done this one other time, and that time was also something mental health related because it is complex and important- And of course friendship impacts your mental health! Immensely. Because the people you spend time with have influence over how your life goes. I’ve been thinking about discussing this...

We’re back to finish talking about ways to increase contentment and I’m very happy about it, even if I sound a little subdued. Thanks so much for being here, C

Please plan a trip!!!!!!! Y’all I found out something amazing about traveling. Listen in. ***I typed this description and then left it on the screen and walked away without uploading it. Oh ADHD brain. So now I’m doing it the next day Get out and see your world! C

Towards what? That is the question today, isn’t it? - Do you think about contentment very often? It is an incredible useful resource to marshal as you navigate life. Glad you’re here, C

I completely forgot to write a description for the first part of this topic, which was a few days ago. What we’re talking about is anxiety (clearly) and how it can sometimes manifest in behaviors that on the surface may appear somewhat positive or beneficial. But what lies beneath is crucial to discover and acknowledge as you move towards increased emotional health. (Less anxiety is possible!) Tha...

It was such a good time talking about some of the positive things that go along with having ADHD (and other types of neurodivergence) yesterday that I scrapped other episode plans and went right back to it today! This is the happy side yay Not the side filled with challenges and disappointments and perceived shortcomings. This is the side with the fun and the cool ideas and the super powers =) Com...

Often ppl (myself included) spend a lot of time talking about the challenges of ADHD and other types of neurodivergence. And that’s fair- there are a lot of things about it that are misunderstood and a lot of unnecessary judgments made by neurotypical ppl towards neurodivergent ppl that would make them want to stand up for themselves and right the misconceptions But there are also awesome things t...

I had never even heard of Unrefreshing Sleep before! What a nightmare. Do you appear to get an adequate QUANTITY of sleep on a regular basis, but you wake up so fatigued that you’re beginning to question the QUALITY of said sleep? Take a listen, maybe this will help. Take care of yourself and get some rest as soon as you can, C

Do you know what the “ADHD tax” is? It’s a colloquialism used to describe money sometimes lost to executive dysfunction. It can can manifest in other types of neurodivergence as well, but is often associated with ADHD because it can be the result of having so many thoughts teeming through your brain at all times (a frequent symptom of ADHD) that it becomes challenging to prioritize them and/or act...

Well I saw something (an unexpectedly meaningful film) and it moved me, and now those feelings have informed some of my life choices. Art does its job yet again! ;) No but seriously, being a creative is challenging and I want you to know that I see you. Immensely glad that you’re here, C

Please forgive my humanity! I hit a wrong button and cut off the initial broadcast right as we were heading into Poetry Time, but it was too important to miss today. So here’s the conclusion and a few other thoughts to help wrap this set of ideas. Thanks for your patience and understanding, C :)

How you start your day influences how your day goes. That is the premise that I’m starting with. And there are many experts who would agree But allow me to expand it further: The way your days go is the way your life goes. - But have you made it a practice to start your day with intentionality? Can you take five minutes even before you get up and give yourself a chance at a better start? Let’s try...

We’re back on the albums again! Part Nineteen, 120-111. - This week features The Jimi Hendrix Experience, System of a Down, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, and seven other artists to continue this massive undertaking. Hmm, who else could there be? ;) - I forgot to tell you which album the Lyric Title came from during the show! Whoops. By the time we got to that point, I was so enveloped in the storie...

Thrilled to be here to continue this discussion today. Food has been in the breeze a lot in the circles I travel in and it’s had me thinking. Not about my own journey with food, but that of others. I AM NOT HERE TO TELL YOU WHAT AND WHAT NOT TO EAT I house zero desire to do so. - The relationship that many people find themselves in with food can be fraught at times, and I’ve experienced that for g...

I’m kinda excited to share these next two shows with you. Food has been in the breeze a lot in the circles I travel in and it’s had me thinking. Not about my own journey with food, but that of others. I AM NOT HERE TO TELL YOU WHAT AND WHAT NOT TO EAT I house zero desire to do so. - The relationship that many people find themselves in with food can be fraught at times, and I’ve experienced that fo...

It turns out that wishing for things to be the way they used to isn’t as innocuous as some say. Glad you’re here and I hope you’re doing okay, C
