I'm Doing Everything

I'm Doing Everything

One of the most common things I hear from clients, friends, and family is: I'M DOING EVERYTHING! And when we dig into it together, I hear people say everything from "my partner isn't helping," to, "I don't think my family cares about me," to, "my co-workers are doing it wrong."…

Digital Spring Cleaning

Digital Spring Cleaning

It's springtime, which means spring cleaning. And since we focus on all things anxiety around here, I thought I'd bring the 2 together in an episode all about digital spring cleaning.

Because: how you interact with your devices could very well be playing a part in how anxious you're feeling on the regular…

Discomfort & Growth

Discomfort & Growth

We've all just lived through a *highly* uncomfortable time. Still are, in fact. 2020 proved to be quite the crash course in discomfort...

And since we don't know what we don't know about 2021, I thought now would be a good time to talk about discomfort and growth

What's the Anxiety Impulse?

What's the Anxiety Impulse?

Nearing the end of the year that we've gone through has me returning to the basics in a lot of ways: simple meals, lots of walking and no-frills yoga, and re-watching classic holiday movies for the hundredth time.

And I wanted to do something similar here on The Transforming Anxiety Podcast this week and get back to the basics by considering: where does this whole anxiety experience come from, anyway? What's the impulse for anxiety?…

What is Life Coaching?

What is Life Coaching?

This week on The Transforming Anxiety Podcast, I wanted to share my thoughts on coaching with you. Y'know, go back to the basics: what are we doing around here anyway? What is at the heart of this work? Who is it for?

I think of life coaching as coaching for the game of life. I know, duh. But I really do…

Rockstars & Managers

Rockstars & Managers

What do rockstars have to do with coaching? What do managers have to do with mental health and managing your mind?

This week on the podcast, we're talking about one of the most fun tools I've created and something that I use with most of my clients: Rockstars & Managers

The G.I. Joe Fallacy

The G.I. Joe Fallacy

Didn't think we'd be talking about action figures together, did ya?

As a child of the 80's with a younger brother, I not only played my fair share of G.I. Joe, we watched a decent amount of the cartoon, too. And every episode, there was a lesson for the kids along with the show's tagline: "Now you know...and knowing is half the battle."…

Thought Webs

Thought Webs

You ready to *choose your own adventure*? That's what we're talking about today with a brand-new concept: Thought Webs.

A lot of my clients and students are familiar with the model. They totally understand how our thoughts create our feelings which drive our actions which ultimately net us the results we get in our lives. They appreciate how all of this works together...

Debunking "Self-Care"

Debunking "Self-Care"

"Self-care" is one of those terms that gets tossed around when a well-meaning someone encourages you to take a break, relax, and make some time for yourself. "Take a bubble bath! How about a mani-pedi? Go get a massage..." <-- They lovingly say…

Investing in Yourself

Investing in Yourself

When you think of *investing* in yourself, what comes to mind? Spending lots of money on your education? Fancy spa vacations? Your house and car?

I love pampering myself as much as the next person, but that’s not what we’re talking about today. In fact, today’s episode of The Transforming Anxiety Podcast has nothing to do with money at all…
