LISTEN TO MY PODCAST
New episodes land every Wednesday…
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.
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?
How are we doing? It's Wednesday...again. Morning...again. Are we ready? I know - I'm not sure we're ready either. But here we are. We're in it together. Let's do this...yeah?
I have a simple idea for you this week on The Transforming Anxiety Podcast. In fact, it's just 2 words: Oh. Really. Oh really. Oh really...?
Ohhhh I have something so FUN for you this week: my dear friend, Becky Vollmer , has a new book out in the world (birthed on January 3, 2023) and I brought her on The Transforming Anxiety Podcast to talk all about it.
Becky is like that wise, sassy, older sister who is full of encouragement and shares her hard-earned life lessons, and she's heavy on the love part of "tough love."…
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…
Well, ready or not, 2022 is here!
And instead of wishing you a "happy new year" I'm just going to say: "new year!" Because really, it doesn't have to be happy. Or easy. Or peaceful. Or certain. If we've learned anything the past 2 years, we've learned to adjust our expectations of what might happen. So I'm going to just stick to the facts here: new year to you!…
I recently asked our Facebook group community about worry: What do you worry about? What does it look like when you worry? Does worry ever "work" for you?
And there were some *great* comments in reply…
Do you ever struggle with judgment?
This is one of the most common things I hear from clients, friends, (ahem) myself...
I know I shouldn't say this, but did you SEE what she did?!
Ugh, I can't believe it's almost spring break and I'm going to have to put on a swimsuit...LOOK at my thighs.
They have absolutely no idea what they're doing…
