Have You Ever One-dered??

Have you been forgetting things? (You know I have lol.) Keeping your brain functioning optimally can begin as simply as going for a walk or picking up a new hobby. Have fun with it! And remember more things. Win-win. - Also, as mentioned (I remembered!) here’s a couple links for the episode on Drug Free Pain Management: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episo...

This isn’t even about the holidays, this is about life. I know that it feels like nonstop battles sometimes, in every area of life almost, because I feel like that right now. I’m tired of fighting. I really am. I wish it didn’t have to be so hard, but sometimes it is. In spite of temptations to roll over and give up, or throw your hands in the air and declare that there’s no point in trying anymor...

We’re continuing to talk about tipping culture in the United States, as well as some of the broader implications it has on society. It’s an important topic if for no other reason than the fact that it’s now practically ubiquitous, and touches the lives of many many people. *I chose a special poem for the end of this episode, in acknowledgment of yesterday’s global strike in support of the call for...

Christmas is two weeks away and whether you celebrate or not, it’s an impactful time of year for a lot of people, which can also mean added anxiety and stress. Here’s the advent calendar of anxiety-challenging reminders I mentioned during the show. Take them all or just choose a few. But be gentle with yourself! There’s a lot going on https://www.instagram.com/p/C0... Thanks tons for being here, C

I always wondered why I had a “memory like an 80 year old” when I was like nine.

Everyone knows you can have a phenomenal time both living in and visiting the United States. But where can you get the biggest bang for you buck? If having fun is your MO (and shouldn’t it be at least sometimes?) then this is the show for you! Domestic or International, Foreign or Native, these are the top cities for you to you have a relatively affordable, rocking good time all across the States....

The beginning of a closer look at American tipping culture.

Do you have a list of cities around the globe that you’d like to eventually visit? Many people do, and when they finally get to the places they’ve long dreamed of, sometimes the experiences leave something to be desired IN THEIR OPINION. I thought it would be fun to chat through some places that left visitors feeling disillusioned. If I’ve been there, I share my experiences too! Thanks for being h...

We’re looking at things that made me smile recently, that may turn out to be reasons for you to smile as well. You’re making it! Keep going :) C

Happy Thanksgiving! Do you know how you’re supposed to behave at a Thanksgiving gathering when you’re an invited guest in someone else’s home? Some things can be governed by standard rules of etiquette, and others are informed by how well you know your hosts. You can also decide some things on your own and still be a great guest! I don’t agree with everything recommended by the experts, but it’s a...

Fixed! Thank actual God that I keep a backup recording of every episode, live and pre-recorded, and when the crash happened (live), I was able to pull the last three mins of the show, make a couple edits and upload it after the fact. Plus I learned a couple things along the way, so there’s an unexpected bonus. Yay yay yay. I still love technology, always and foreverrrr ;) Have an awesome day. C

Oh no! The broadcast cuts out right at the start of Poetry Time. It was a technical glitch (crash) and couldn’t be fixed during the live show, so the conclusion can be found as the next “episode” on Apple, Spotify, or almost anywhere you get podcasts, but not at the live link. Not ev one listens to Poetry Time, so if you tend not to, then you can just listen to this one and you won’t have missed m...

Encouragement episode 50!! Hope it lends a better start to your week : ) Thanks for being here, as always. C

Part five of six. We’re continuing a crucial conversation about generational parenting mistakes: Things people experienced as children that they are determined to remove from their parenting practices as adults. But it goes past just parenting children of your own. If you have impact or influence on *any* children because you are an aunt, uncle, neighbor, teacher, caregiver, grandparent, coach, tu...
