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…

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…

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. 🙃)…

Expectations

Expectations

This one seems timely, given where we're at in the year...and, I don't know, history. Let's talk about ​expectations​ today.

Should we raise our expectations? Lower them? Drop them altogether? And where the hell do our expectations come from in the first place?

Yeah...

Keep the Bridges, Burn the Boats

Keep the Bridges, Burn the Boats

This week on The Transforming Anxiety Podcast I want to consider a phrase I know you've heard before, don't burn your bridges, alongside a less common idea, burn the boats. It's a fiery mash-up this week. We're going to explore why it's important to ​keep the bridges, burn the boats​

Preemptive Quitting

Preemptive Quitting

This week's episode of ​The Transforming Anxiety​ is literally straight from my heart to yours. We're talking about ​preemptive quitting​ this week. Why? Because this is the sit-down-pay-attention-clear-the-decks talk I had to have with myself recently…

Underneath the Conversation

Underneath the Conversation

Time for some real talk: this week on ​The Transforming Anxiety Podcast​, we're going ​underneath the conversation​...

Y'know how when you're talking with someone, there are the words that are actually being said, the back-and-forth dialogue that is happening out loud...and then there's the inner conversation you're having ABOUT the conversation?

The Boat, The Volcano, The Mountaintop, The Tide

The Boat, The Volcano, The Mountaintop, The Tide

This week's ​Transforming Anxiety Podcast​ is all about giving you a handful of tools that you can use to take care of yourself when you're really *in it* with anxiety. We're going to talk about ​the boat, the volcano, the mountaintop, and the tide​…

Window of Tolerance

Window of Tolerance

We've all had those experiences where something seemingly trivial happens and we *explode* in response. A spilled cup of coffee. A stubbed toe. A snarky comment from a tween. And we get apoplectic.

Similarly (but opposite) we've completely utterly totally *shut down* when someone says the wrong thing at the wrong moment on the wrong day with the wrong stars aligned.

What's up with that?…

Right Now, It's Like This

Right Now, It's Like This

This week on ​The Transforming Anxiety Podcast​, I want to offer a simple, but pretty profound way to practice acceptance. We're going to explore the teaching: ​right now, it's like this​.

This one isn't full of practical, tactical steps that you can take. Or things you can go and DO. Nope…

Anxiety as an Alarm

Anxiety as an Alarm

How are you? How's summer treating you so far? Sunscreen, sweat, and late summer nights are all a *thing* over here, and I'm loving it. I went for years craving the fall and winter months; there's something so cozy about that time of year. But I tell ya what: these days, there's something about the brightness and vibrancy of summer that brings me alive in another way. And I'm here for it. I'm curious to hear how it's feeling for you...
