This turned out to impact me in the live broadcast so much more than I anticipated when I was planning it!

Whew.

I really hope you listen and I hope it leads to improved health in your life and relationships.

It’s worth it to try! Be well,

I admit that my perspective may be lacking when it comes to platonic relationships. Feel free to share yours if you’d like :)

According to some of the research I did, up to 40% of Americans display secure attachment styles.

(Does that number sound high to you too? Lol)

But if you’re not one of them, don’t fear; you’re not trapped.

And if you’re not sure, let’s talk about the styles and some of the ways a secure attachment style might manifest in your communication with others.

You’re alive so it’s not to late to learn! Thanks for being here,

THANK YOU for being here,

On Route 66!!

I have wanted to do this road trip for so so so long.

And one day I will =)

In the meantime, here’s a great start to the list of attractions you could stop and see, in large cities and small towns, from the Bean in Chicago to a leaning water tower in Texas and all the way to the Santa Monica Pier in California.

Pick a reliable vehicle that doesn’t mind the heat, and get to driving! What an incredible way to make your way across 2/3 of the US.

Production Note: There was an approximately two-minute internet service interruption during the live broadcast (bummer!) that I did not immediately notice, which means that some of the info is missing. This also caused the episode to be split into two seemingly independent parts. They are not; they’re just the before and after the interruption.

THIS IS “PART TWO”

*Watch this space for how to pick up what was dropped if you’re interested. Sorry for the mixup! I love technology, but it can have its quirks. Such is live broadcasting

Thanks tons for your patience; so glad you’re along for the ride,

Today kicks off our Summer (Winter?) Encouragement Series with the invitation to take a brief respite from some of the devastation going on in the world right now.

To restore.

And then carry on.

I’m glad you’re here and I hope you’re okay,

UH OH.

What do you mean it’s real??

If you’re hoping or planning to get old(er), here are a few things you can give attention to now that might make the journey a bit smoother.

I joke (a lot) about dreading or denying the aging process, but making it into old age is a privilege and a blessing if it comes to you. I recognize that.

Everyday is a gift and I’m thrilled you’re spending part of yours with me,

Disclaimer: I do not mean that loneliness doesn’t exist. Of course it does. I mean I’m not convinced of it as an incurable epidemic, which is how it is often discussed. We’ll talk more on this later

This is literally just occurring to me a day and a half later: Did I say Chevette? Or Chevelle?? It was a Chevelle, royal metallic blue with white racing stripes. Gorgeous vehicle. I was devastated when he sold it, though it was for a good cause. Sorry if I caused any confusion!

What could be some signs of disrespect in your interpersonal relationships?

How do you feel after interacting with certain people in your life?

How do you find yourself treating others?

Mutual respect is incredibly important for healthy communication and relationship building.

So glad you’re here! I appreciate it,

What do you do when your travel destination includes something that could be classified as a tourist trap? Do you go? Or do you skip it?

Also, what even is a tourist trap?

The Northern Hemisphere warm weather travel season is on the rise, and kicks of (in part) today in the US. Be more intentional about how you’re going to spend your travel leisure time. It’ll help!

Enjoy your holiday if it is one for you!

Some ppl have been treating me like a blooming idiot lately and I am not a fan.

What’s a gal to do?

Let’s discuss.

Hope this is helpful, no matter your initial perspective,
