the Art of Self

Show notes — "you are not a project" You are not a renovation. You are not a before-and-after. You are not something to be optimized into a better version by next quarter. This week on The Art of Self , I'm talking about the quiet lie hiding inside most self-help - the idea that you have to finish healing before you're allowed to actually live. I get into why waiting to be "done" is its own trap,...

Admitting we might be the architects of our own bullshit is not the easiest realization. There is a bit of resilience I don’t think people talk enough about that is required to pivot, when the old ways simply don’t fit anymore. When you have to get out of your comfort zone of complaints (and out of your own way) I realized recently that I’ve been in an echo chamber of my own complaints and it’s qu...

It turns out all it took was a psychic, a shaman, and my husband’s dead grandfather to convince me to pick up the mic again. In this episode of The Art of Self , I talk about ADHD at 44, anxiety, and how I’ve been rewarded my whole life for the same patterns that are now burning me out. I also share what psychic medium Laura Lynne Jackson told me that finally made the math math - and why learning...

This letter is for the tough ones. The ones who were told they “should be a lawyer when they grow up” or they “have a chip on their shoulder.” The ones who’ve been called intimidating, or intense. Or know survival mode better than rest. Cause when you’ve lived like this, choosing softness is not easy . It’s radical. It’s uncomfortable. For them and for you . Sometimes it feels like a language you...

How is it that you are feeling overstimulated and bored at the same time? You’re not lazy. Quite the opposite actually. In this episode I’m getting a little raw and very real. Life before teams meetings, slack channels, email folders and being overcommitted while underwhelmed. Who you used to be - that version of you who danced till dawn, colored on the living room floor, played dress up, dared so...

If you are the one everyone calls, the one who plans, the strong one in the family or the chat, the emergency contact - then this session is for you. * Why waiting for a “perfect” moment is just a...

Why are you letting the benchwarmers tell you how to play the game? It’s always the case, people who have never done much of anything always have opinions. And worse—questions. Opinions I can manage, but it’s the questions that usher in the doubt for me. It’s where I start overthinking and then… I get stuck. PS: I’m hosting a hangout & mini online retreat for my subs - deets at the end Have you ev...
