I recorded this little episode from beautiful Panama about accepting where you are right now. I’ve been struggling this week with wishing things were different, with wishing I was different. But life is giving me lots of message that I’m exactly where I need to be. The question is will I listen.

It’s been 10 days since I uploaded a podcast, yikes. I had a rough couple of weeks, but I’m back, babes. This episode is about where I’ve been, why healing codependence is so frickin’ hard, and why I really need to slow my life way down.

Today, I talk a bit about my struggles with body image, my terrible relationship with food, and the problem with diet culture. Plus a practice to help you cultivate a better relationship with your body. This one gets a little personal.

This week we are talking about insecurities and battling or befriending our inner critics. Let’s flip this bullshit narrative about needing to be anything other than who we are right now. You are good enough.

Caroline continues her conversation with Shelley Lloyd to talk about writing about mental illness and when to protect yourself vs when to share your experiences with the world.

Caroline chats with Shelley Lloyd, a PhD candidate, creative writing instructor, and researcher in life writing and disability studies. They talk about social media, growing up sharing online, and discuss writing and reading about mental illness and what we hope to see from writers in the future.

On this week’s Thursday practice, Caroline shares her journaling practice to take responsibility and action for feeling good in your daily life.

We’re back and we are shaking things up. In this episode, Caroline talks about transitioning to a daily podcast and the impact documenting your life can have on your mental health. See you tomorrow!

Allied WIth Madness is back in a big way. We are going daily. Catch up with Caroline for 10 min every Wednesday to Sunday as she chats all things mindfulness, movement, and mental health.

In this episode, Caroline reflects on what she wants out of life and whether or not she’s on the right path towards getting it. 

Deep down, no matter what we think, most of us just want love, acceptance, purpose, and creative autonomy.
