What a deserving topic. I call myself a failure, and I know others do too, but hopefully these soft takes will help us treat ourselves with a little more compassion.

Money, it's so entwined with our lives, but I think it won't always be this way. Listen in for some soft takes and a call to start a dialogue on money. For a great read, check out "Debt: The First 5000 Years" by David Graeber, you can find it at your local library and local bookstore.

Bad news is reliable, and also stressful. I give some soft takes involving empathy, self compassion, and even a little grounding exercise.

Some soft takes on Laziness, how it might keep us from resting, and how it could reveal attitudes around work and effort that aren't serving us.

Some soft takes on complaining, why it might not be as bad as it sounds, and how it might be an indicator of our attitudes towards suffering and compassion.

Some soft takes on how hard it is to celebrate ourselves, and how it can provide the necessary closure on projects before we start new ones.

Some soft takes on boredom, the space it gives us, and how curiosity can be a road to new experiences.

I talk about how we get to define professionalism, keeping the values that serve us but adding in the values of being true to our humanity.

I talk about how insecurity wasn't our idea, and how we can find security through curiosity.

A short introduction where I share about me and what this podcast is about.
