Metacognition

Metacognition

We're doing it...we almost made it to the end of 2022. Can you believe it? I know we always say that because humans seem to be mesmerized by time passing, but honestly, in this case, I almost can't believe it. What we've all been through, the tumult of this moment in history, is so intense. Our nervous systems are on fire. And...we're doing it. Hard, messy, icky though it may be, we. are. doing. it…

When You're In It

When You're In It

This one goes out to the version of you that is IN IT...that is having the worst time, feeling the most intense feelings, and can barely imagine how things will ever feel okay or normal again.

I hear you. I see you. I've been there…

Outer Order Does Not Create Inner Calm

Outer Order Does Not Create Inner Calm

On this week's episode of The Transforming Anxiety Podcast I want to challenge the notion that outer order creates inner calm...because maybe NOT .

I mean...have you seen Monica on Friends? Have you ever been around someone who is a complete neat freak? Are YOU kinda sorta obsessed with tidiness?…

Protecting Your Headspace

Protecting Your Headspace

This week on The Transforming Anxiety Podcast we're going to explore protecting your headspace . Think of your mind as a plot of land, all the real estate that you have in your mind, just like a city.

Mindful Communication

The holidays are almost here and that means a lot of get-togethers and family time. So I thought it might be helpful to explore mindful communication on this week's episode of The Transforming Anxiety Podcast .

Mindful communication pulls in, yup, elements of mindfulness and gives us a framework to think about how we're communicating. Because: communication is so ordinary, yet so powerful

Anxiety is Okay

Anxiety is Okay

Now, for this week's episode of The Transforming Anxiety Podcast, we're talking about anxiety, specifically how anxiety is okay​.

Because there's an underlying assumption that anxiety is bad, that it's something to be avoided, that we need to resist it. This is how we react to it. Even in our conversations about transforming anxiety, there's the unspoken idea that we'd want to because: anxiety = bad…

The Foundation of You

The Foundation of You

This week on The Transforming Anxiety Podcast we're going back to the basics; we're going to talk about the foundation of you.

A foundation is the lowest level of a structure, the load-bearing support that holds everything up. And THAT is what I want to consider with you today…

Protecting Your Efficiency

Protecting Your Efficiency

Now, despite the word "efficiency" in the title of this week's episode of The Transforming Anxiety Podcast, this is NOT a discussion about time management, life hacks, and getting more done. In fact, this is about the *opposite* of that stuff…

Spiritual Weaponizing

Spiritual Weaponizing

Has anyone ever told you to "be the bigger person?" Or to look for the "silver lining?"

Yeah, these are helpful ideas. Valuable concepts. Things I teach my kids even. I can be the bigger person and show patience, compassion, and kindness. I can find the silver lining in a tough situation. Sure.

But sometimes? Sometimes I don't want to…
