Have You Ever One-dered??

Does the pace of your life work for you? (Does the pace of my life work for me?) Glad you’re spending some of your valuable time here. Deeply appreciate it, C

We’ve mentioned so many times how challenging it is to be a parent. Today we’re hearing some firsthand accounts of some of the nonsense that parents (esp young mothers) deal with while just trying to care for their children out in the world. It doesn’t have to be this way! Buck up, parents. You still have allies. Stay strong and compassionate, everyone, C

Sometimes I have the foresight to choose a super short poem for the end of the episode, because I know the topic we’re discussing is going to have me so keyed up that I don’t want to run too long. Today was one of those days. We’re talking about safety concerns that women and femme presenting people face just by existing in the world, and the inappropriate responses that they often have to deal wi...

My voice is still recovering from my activities of late ;) but join me as we start talking about the basis of Gentle Parenting and how it works. Perfect parenting doesn’t exist! But you can put together a life built around love and mutual respect that includes your tiny humans. No kids? No problem! If you have influence or impact over anyone from 0-17, as a caregiver, teacher, grandparent, step-pa...

We’re back live and I’m ecstatic =) Musings and helpful strategies to deal with endings and transitions. Thank you for being here with some of the changes of the past weeks. Thrilled to be in studio and that you’re along for ride. C

READ THIS DESCRIPTION: I know that doesn’t sound like the title of an encouragement episode, but trust me-it is ;) Also, when the ep first started, I wasn’t thinking concretely about how the device that I was using to view my notes was also the device that the bg music was coming out of, and therefore I was holding my hand too close to the mic w the music too loud :/ I thought it was kinda cringe...

Choose the airplane seats that’s right for you! Based on differing criteria that may or may not be important to you ;) Thanks for being here and for your patience with these field-recorded eps! Have an incredible weekend full of blessings, C

Make your home work better for you, aesthetically! Make your home, or at least part of it, feel like a sanctuary. Make your house feel like a home. Thank you so much for being here. All is not lost, C

What could you do to make the home you own more beautiful, elevate your living experience? Don’t worry if home ownership is financially inaccessible at this time; you can do some of these things in a rental as well. Or translate them into renter-friendly options. Your home is supposed to be able to function as a sanctuary for you! What would make it more like that? Thanks so much for listening, C

Someone really got me for April Fools Day! We mention that, and then jump right into the encouragement of it all today. I curated this with creative people in mind, but it goes for everyone, honestly. So excited to be back live with you again! Thanks for being here, C

Jump back on the horse and get ready for more of these ridiculous stories. Personally, I’m flabbergasted. Glad you’re here though! C

Folks, prepare yourselves. We’re talking about some egregious examples of sexism in the workplace, endured by women throughout human history and all the way up to today. Happy Women’s History Month!! C ;)

Did you know that you can Marie Kondo your way to a lighter and happier load when preparing for a trip? I’ve been “light packing” for years, but if the skill has yet to come to you, and you’re tired of lugging around and paying for so many things, never you fear! We’re chatting today about packing for plane trips in the most economically-sized bags possible: either a small rolling carry on, or a p...

She didn’t get laughter in there! It has to be a form of rest as well. Which category would it fall under? What am I talking about? We’re talking about the many different types of rest (THAT YOU NEED) and multiple ways that you can manifest them in your life. This is so important. I really want you to give it a solid listen and see what resonates or helps. I earnestly desire more rest for you. And...

There are some great tips here! Sometimes they’re known as life hacks: Little things you can do to make things that you have to get done easier or more effective. Try them out! Hopefully at least one can buy you back some time or energy. Glad you’re here, C

I had insomnia for years. YEARS. It had it’s benefits, but then was often filled with challenges that I sometimes wondered if I’d ever escape. It took concerted effort to find what would work, for sure. But during the process I also discovered an unconventional thing that helps put me to sleep. Every. Time. It’s remarkable! Do you have one? Do you need one? A technique, a tactic, a sleep inducer?...

(I don’t remember exactly what was going on this day or why there was no description here, but I discovered it on a September day in 2025 while converting to my color-coded thumbnail system. Hopefully if you stumble upon this episode for some encouragement, you will find what you are looking for. ~C)

I think it can be really fun to travel to a new place for a specific reason. You automatically have something to do! If you like movies, nature, and traveling, have we got a show for you! Lol Thanks for hanging out again. I never stop appreciating it, C :)

Feeling insecure sometimes? (Or all the time??) Listen on. I’m so glad you’re here, C
