Birthdays

Birthdays

So this week we are talking about ​birthdays on ​The Transforming Anxiety Podcast​...mainly, honestly, because my birthday was Monday the 22nd and because every year, I get all in a tizzy about it...

...and I've found I'm not alone with this….

How To Get Out of Your Head

How To Get Out of Your Head

Over and over again, I talk with students who describe feeling as if they can't turn the volume down on the thoughts in their minds. That incessant chatter gets relentless. The stories and ideas just swirl around until it all becomes a tornado.

*exhausting*…

A Lapse in Logic

A Lapse in Logic

Good morning, happy Wednesday! This week's episode of The Transforming Anxiety Podcast is a discussion about something pretty simple, but a powerful addition to the toolbox that we're all using to take care of ourselves around anxiety. And that is: the inevitable ​lapse in logic that occur in our minds…

Living Well

Living Well

Well, this may be (as close as we're gonna get to) the piece de resistance of the podcast: today, we're talking about ​living well.

Pretty much everything we do around here points to this: how can you feel okay in your skin? How can you move around the world being alright with who you are? ​How can you live well?

What Community Looks Like

What Community Looks Like

Ok, *today* we are going to focus on something that I know brings a lot of confusion, guilt, and pressure (aka anxiety) into our lives...and that is: what community looks like.

I have experienced this myself and I talk to students every week about it. The people in our lives. Get-togethers and social gatherings. Family and holidays and vacations. Friend groups, acquaintances, colleagues.

Hold it Lightly

Hold it Lightly

Good morning. ☀️ I hope this finds you well. That you're doing ok so far this week. That you're hanging in, finding some flow, letting yourself breathe, and being kind with yourself.

On this week's episode of ​The Transforming Anxiety Podcast​ I wanted to explore how we can move through *all the things* without having quite such a death grip on life…

Back to Transforming Anxiety

Back to Transforming Anxiety

Ahhhhh, it's good to be back...​back to transforming anxiety.

In this week's episode of ​The Transforming Anxiety Podcast​ I'm sharing a bit with you about why I took a(n unplanned) break, how I personally struggle a bit, and what we have to look forward to together: work that I want to do, practices I want to steep myself in, teachings I want to stay close to…

Taking Out the Trash

Taking Out the Trash

This week on The Transforming Anxiety Podcast we’re going to talk about that inner pileup of garbage that happens after days, weeks, months, YEARS of conversations, work, get-togethers, parenting, and activities. Alllll the garbage that starts gumming up the works, internally. The residue that happens when we ignore ourselves a little bit, when we bite our tongues, when we hold back, when we make ourselves small…

The Neighbor's Dandelions

The Neighbor's Dandelions

I don't know about you, but I looooove to put my nose into other people's business. (Except I do know about you...I'm guessing you do this, too. Only about 100% of my students and friends and family do it. 🙃)…

Time Confetti

Time Confetti

I have something that sounds fun today, but is way more important than its cute little name and that is: time confetti.

Have you ever had the feeling that you should have more time in your days and weeks than you do? Or sat down to relax for a few minutes and then looked at the clock to realize that an hour had flown by? Or felt so completely fragmented and distracted mentally that even when you get a moment to focus on something...you can't?

What's New in the New Year

What's New in the New Year

New year! But same me. Same you. Same all of us. This week's episode of ​The Transforming Anxiety Podcast​ is a "what's new in the new year" but also an acknowledgment of: not much. 🙃

Goals, resolutions, and plans are all *great*. Yup. And also...maybe we can just slow-roll the new year and spend this month (this quarter?) considering what we want it to look like…

You Are Enough w/Scott Stabile

You Are Enough w/Scott Stabile

To start out the new year, I am SO excited to bring a really great conversation to you on this week's episode of ​The Transforming Anxiety Podcast​. I'm talking with Scott Stabile, author, teacher, and love activist, about his new book: Enough As You Are

Joy

Joy

Tis the season, friend...this week on The Transforming Anxiety Podcast we're going to talk about joy. It seems we have a verrrrry tricky dynamic with joy. Have you noticed?

We want to feel happy. We crave ease and contentment. And then, as soon as we feel like things are going okay, a nagging sense of doom creeps in…
