We talk to ourselves all day, every day. Have you noticed? That nonstop commentator in our minds that has an opinion about *all the things*. It's like the ticker tape that runs along the bottom of news shows...but instead of headlines and weather updates, it's full of ideas and judgments…
Participate in Your Wellbeing
I am SO happy to be back with you this week. Our family has been completely down and out with COVID and it was *not fun* but we are absolutely among the lucky ones and are, slowly but surely, recovering.
And I don't even want to talk about COVID this week, lol. I want to get back to the good stuff we do around here on the regular!…
Living Through Thoughts
Have you ever had the sensation of living life through a plate glass window, like there's a thick barrier between the full, rich, sensory experience of LIFE and, well, *you*?
Or, have you ever caught yourself telling the SAME story about the SAME situation and realized nothing is changing, that you're stuck in a soundbite you just keep rewinding and playing over and over again?…

Negative Anticipation
Uncertainty, Canceling, & Change
Wow. What a year last week was, huh? (Is that joke getting old yet?? Haha...)
2020 keeps piling on the intensity for sure. And I want to take a few minutes this week and talk with you about uncertainty, canceling, and change. Because it seems as if a lot of us are stuck in one gear of 2020-intensity and could benefit from hitting the *pause* button and coming up for air to remind ourselves what's what…
Election Anxiety
Welp, we're officially less than a month away from election day.
My husband and I have wondered if it feels important, contentious, and divisive simply because of where we're at in life (homeowners, with school-aged kids, he's a teacher, I'm a small business owner, we have parents who are retired, deep love for our community, etc.). Or whether it truly is THIS important, contentious, and divisive…
We Were Made for This
When the memo for 2020 landed on our collective desks (pandemic! racial injustice! political strife!) it didn't sound great. And eight months in, it's still not sounding so hot.
But every once in a while, I come up for air and look around and think, "Huh, look at us! We're doing it!" It's messy and frustrating and weird, but we. are. DOING. it…

Health Anxiety
Unless you're living on the moon, Coronavirus is pretty much top of mind right now. And even on an ordinary day, health anxiety affects somewhere between 5% - 25% of the adult American population.
So I thought it was time to talk about health-related anxiety on The Transforming Anxiety Podcast. Because, folks: today we’re going to take our power back…
My Favorite Thoughts
You know that voice in your mind, that constant chatter, that ticker-tape of ideas and judgments and opinions that goes on all day every day?
Most of us are so used to that voice because well, it's always been there. We haven't questioned it. We haven't challenged the stories it tells us. We sometimes don't even really pay attention because well, we know it's not going anywhere…
