Today’s episode it just for my paid members because it feels a little safer sharing vulnerable, personal stories behind a paywall. That makes absolutely no sense.. but trust me, this is a WHISPER in my mind

Sometimes, when you’re still thinking about something that happened 20 years go, it means the relationship has lasted far longer than it should have.…

The main takeaway from this episode is that ALL THOSE HOURS I spent trying to painstakingly level our voices when we used to remotely record podcasts together was POINTLESS because this was recorded on my phone and we were equidistant from the mic. I am just LOUD!

Second to that, I think it IS true that we care less about perception as we age, but maybe in different ways. And the people pleasing is still something you have to actively decide to work on. Overall, I’m only excited to get older (inside) but am yet to loosen my grasp on that outer youth that I can feel (and see) slipping away from me already.

Today’s episode is a run through of items I wish I could go back and tell my 30 year old self on my 40th birthday.

I was putting this one off so here’s the off the cuff version.. possibly to be updated when the pressure is off

This episode was wholly inspired by Cass from Clutter Bug - check her out here - and the final nail in my overwhelm coffin. I cannot tell you how much lighter I feel for doing this and, for those of you who I’ve encouraged to watch that documentary - BUY NOW on Netflix - know that there’s a BALANCE to be found!

This episode was inspired by a DM exchange I had with someone who also struggles with ADHD and the emotional dysregulation side of things. She asked how to be better, be more compassionate and be more open (less negative) when her partner does feel like sharing with her. I thought it was a great jumping off point for a chat today.

For the longest time, I avoided this practice. The closest I came was ‘gratitude journalling’ because acknowledging your highlights on dark days is helpful in pulling you out of of a funk. Reminding yourself of what you have is always a good thing.. but writing a ‘dear diary, here’s how I’m feeling’ was off putting to me for two reasons. 1. it felt very self indulgent (I mean really, what’s wrong with that anyway?) but also 2. anything you write is likely vulnerable and not something you’d want someone else to read. A risky practice.

In today’s chat, I’m talking about how I’ve accidentally been journalling to work though my problems for years and how you may benefit from the method I’ve been using too.

A bit of accidental journalling did me good today. If I can’t ask for what I want, I can’t blame anyone else for not being able to read my mind.

Today’s episode ticks off my ‘see a brand new show’ item and discusses the frisson of emotion some of us feel strongly when experiencing a liver performance.
