Hi folx! Ren here. I vended! I had readings! I had messages from spirit and damn did I find some clarity. But messages and intention don’t matter as much as the actions you take to follow through and that’s what this is about. ———————————————————————- *** Links! *** www.patreon.com/GrungeGranny and www.grungegranny.com.

Ren updates on how they’ve been making tangible, visible, and physical steps toward claiming their own authority and are Doing the Things even if it’s haphazard and even if it’s not a hundred percent every time (because that’s how you fight the perfectionism monster!). Plus, there’s beauty in the process and damn, if this isn’t a process. ———————— *** Links! *** www.patreon.com/GrungeGranny and www.grungegranny.com.

Hi! This is Ren. In this episode, I share what this last mercury retrograde brought me and how I’m sticking to my Goals to Grow Into with these new lessons. One of which is how I am violating my own personal mantra of not ever treating people as though their current identities are made up of their past faults. Also, how forcing oneself to be “okay” in a situation that may require a different method of coping might actually be a form of self-harm and projection. Please let me know if you had any good discoveries during this last mercury retrograde—it’s one of my favorite topics! **Links mentioned: www.patreon.com/GrungeGranny and www.grungegranny.com.

This episode stays nearly all about the update on my Goals to Grow Into. I had multiple epiphanies on how to set boundaries and how sometimes the hardest person to say no to is myself. I update on why I’m bad making friends, what happened with the recent friendship I was developing, the epiphanies I had during that and how I’m possibly self-isolating. I bring up the Ten Things again because I AM working on bringing more fun into my life and am determined to complete some of these by the end of the year!

Ren makes progress on their goals to grow into and says no! They also realize that the challenge of the Mundane Everyday Walkabout isn’t to trudge on through the things wearing you out until you’re complacent, but to find ways to actually fix what is a problem and face your fears! Ren faltered with the socializing goal but will fix it. Inspired by the podcast, Happier, Ren wants to list Ten Things for the rest of 2019 to do! These are small and fun things that can be done semi-locally—unless you’re not local and have ideas! To send in ideas or what you would put on your list: [email protected] or you can leave a voice message at this link: https://anchor.fm/grungegranny/message.

In this episode, Ren asks what differentiates the difficulties of the mundane-every-day from an actual walk-about and why not make the every day into our own life-altering, self-discovering experience?

In this episode Ren talks about simple coping mechanisms you can do in your day-to-day, including suggestions from others!

Coping mechanisms when your work-life balance leaves you depressed and anxious.

Since it’s right after Mother’s Day, this episode is three lessons from my mother, followed by three lessons from motherhood. **Edit: I mention my mother being bipolar and also manic depressive. I know these terms are interchangeable now but at the time, that’s how she was diagnosed (as though it was in addition to and not a different phrase for the same thing. Since I recorded this all in one take, I didn’t feel like going through and relistening to that part just to edit it.*

This is the first episode of Grunge Granny! Ren starts off with goals to grow into for the next decade following their 30th birthday: 1. Do the hard things (finally do this podcast) 2. Commit and commit largely (dedicate the time and energy to my passions in large—not minimal—ways) 3. Be my own hype-human (fighting issues with self-worth by promoting personal endeavors without apology).
