Heavy Boots

Assumptions and patterns shape much of how we see ourselves, others, and the world around us. In this episode of Heavy Boots , we explore how unexamined beliefs can influence our decisions, relationships, and personal growth. We'll discuss how patterns are formed and how they can serve as mental shortcuts, helping us predict outcomes and conserve energy by recognizing that A + B + C often leads to...

We're Back!!! After stepping away for a while, Heavy Boots returns with a more honest and vulnerable perspective on life’s “what ifs.” Time off wasn’t about having nothing to say... it was about feeling too much at once: loss, distance in family, and the quiet struggle to stay creative in the face of hurt and negativity. This podcast explores the idea of the butterfly effect... not just as a theor...

It said that I'd have something musical coming this week and here it is! This is my longest podcast ever!

This one is a heavy hitter. I'm letting go of a lot as a 43rd birthday present to myself. The episode was delayed because it was hard to get the courage to release these demons. Setting fire to what you no longer carry, gives more room in those heavy boots! Get it out and let it go... ***Content warning: hard subject matters.***

In this episode of Heavy Boots, we talk about SINCERITY. Why it's important and what it truly means. It's an important piece of our humanity and it has to do a lot with honesty and integrity. Sometimes politeness can look like sincerity, but there's no weight behind it. We go into it all... Are you coming?

The random rain storm (August? Rain? What is going on? LOL) kept me indoors and my thoughts were off the charts. Thought I might as well put these thoughts out there and see if they are helpful or useful to anyone else... I also explain why this August will be the most important month of my year so far! LIFE IS BUT A DREAM...

Being in the present moment keeps us mindful! This episode talks about all the ways presence shows up in our lives...Plus, I spill some secrets - vulnerability on FULL display!

A jumble of topics and the FULL SCOPE of what life looks like lately from these HEAVY BOOTS! Happy Summer!

Everything happens for a reason! This episode dives into why things happen and how sometimes right after a hard bit, you can get a shake up. I've been shook and I see the reasons pretty clearly. Life is a doozy... here we go...

It's been awhile since I recorded an episode of Heavy Boots. January held intense depression, February tried to cure it and March was a time for feeling better and reflecting. Only now, in April, can I see what I've learned and though I'm still a little lost, I'm finding my way back. This episode goes all over the place and though the content is real and open, it too had trouble finding a cohesive...

Just popping on briefly to explain what I've been going through.

It is the first episode of 2023 and it just happens to be Friday the 13th. So, in the spirit of the most superstitious day, how about we dive into superstitions and then some of my pet peeves! This episode is a great way to get back into the swing of things! Happy New Year!

If you listened to the very tail end of my last podcast, you would have heard a secret... It said that I'd have something musical coming this week and here it is! This is my longest podcast ever! I had come up with my list of 50 favorite artists with 50 favorite songs for each of them and so I thought I'd turn it into an episode. It quickly unraveled and got out of hand... But since this was just...

This was supposed to be a Light Weights edition, but I had some loose ends to tie up from the previous episodes of the year and so it's not as light as it normally is. I feel such gratitude for all the ears who listen, all the feedback and purpose these last 12 episodes have given me! I appreciate EVERYONE who takes the time out to listen. You all are so important and I hope you feel light, love a...

DISCLAIMER - This is my most vulnerable episode yet. Some topics may be triggering. Listen with caution... This was a hard one for me to let go of. I wanted to re-record it or just not do this topic at all, but that's the point of this... TO BE OPEN, HONEST and VULNERABLE. I just let it be. I'm feeling VERY nervous about putting this all out there, but it also was very eye opening and pointed out...

This episode dives into all things people! It was a very in depth (quite long, sorry) look at all the different kinds of people we encounter throughout our lives.

This is a much lighter conversation about the changing season from Autumn to Winter. We talk all things holidays, change, rain, poetry, etc. Note: I'm still having a hard time with my voice. Had to stop a lot to cough and drink water. I apologize if you can tell... Goodbye Autumn... December's just around the corner?!?!?! How'd that happen?!?!?!?

This podcast is all about the future. A little longer than I like, but I talk about all things future and go off on my usual tangents here and there. So sorry it was late, I've been battling an awful respiratory bug. You can hear a lot of stops and starts on this one and that is because I had to stop to cough and drink water all along the way... Thanks for your patience and your continued support!...

This episode unpacks WORRY from the smallest worries to those BIG ones! From one worry, we can spiral out into a dozen other worries. Worry lives in the future... In the land of WHAT IF? We talk about all of the current worries on my mind and I try to compose myself as I realize that some of what I worry about breaks down my spirit. This was a harder topic to talk about then even I expected. THANK...

This episode is light hearted and goes into much lighter facets of who I am and what I like! I touch on my favorite things, poetry, reclusive-ness and I even end with a little song... This was just FUN! Thanks for listening! STAY YOU!

Honor is a little, five letter word that packs a whole lot! In this podcast we go through the many meanings of HONOR and really dive into HONORING yourself and DEFENDING SOMEONE'S HONOR. Basic message to take away with you - HONOR YOURSELF. It's not always comfortable, but it is FAR MORE uncomfortable to betray yourself.

This podcast has to do with Success. What does it mean to me? Where do I struggle with it? It's a free flowing dialogue that sometimes makes me feel super judgmental and vulnerable, but that's the point! Success is NOT forgetting your podcast was supposed to come out yesterday and completely forgetting about that! LOL. At least I can say that it's not tingy and hard to listen to from an audio stan...

This episode unpacks LOSS and how many ways you can feel loss. It gets a bit heavy and I needed a few tissues while recording it. So very excited that the audio was better this week, but with better sound, you can hear every sniffle. I did edit out the long cries which were many. Loss is a part of life. Our least favorite, but it needs to be talked about so that we can accept it and also appreciat...

In this podcast we dive into truth... What's True About You? was the question that I asked myself and the answer took me for a journey of self discovery that you'll hear here...
