Let’s talk kindness and gentleness. We need it :)

Appreciate you being here as the calendar year continues to draw to a close,

Pleased to have another opportunity to talk parenting! There are lots of fun and light things about it. Challenging too.

Remember: On this show, the definition of parenting is broad. If you have impact or influence over anyone 17 and under, you could be contributing to the parenting process in long term ways, whether you realize it or not. It doesn’t hurt to be more informed :)

Disclaimer: I am not trying to dissuade you or anyone else from having children! That is a personal choice. One that should be made with information and consideration and self awareness and honesty.

Thanks so much for being here, and please excuse the cut off at the end. I was saying, “I or my voice will see you tomorrow.”

Blessings,

Take a solo trip! Go somewhere you’ve always wanted to go! On your own!

It’s liberating and empowering. I so so so so highly recommend it.

Caveat: You have to be prepared. Make plans and bring provisions that can will take into account the “just in case” nature of traveling by yourself so that whether you find yourself in a métropolitain area or in the middle of nowhere, you have a recourse to help yourself or to get help to you.

Then head out and enjoy! There are so many amazing places to see and things to do on this fascinating planet

Stay circumspect, have a blast, thanks for being here,

Have you been forgetting things? (You know I have lol.)

Keeping your brain functioning optimally can begin as simply as going for a walk or picking up a new hobby. Have fun with it! And remember more things. Win-win.

Thanks for being here. I’m gonna go pay that bill!

This isn’t even about the holidays, this is about life.

I know that it feels like nonstop battles sometimes, in every area of life almost, because I feel like that right now.

I’m tired of fighting. I really am. I wish it didn’t have to be so hard, but sometimes it is.

In spite of temptations to roll over and give up, or throw your hands in the air and declare that there’s no point in trying anymore, there are other options.


I’m really glad you’re here. Thank you.

We’re continuing to talk about tipping culture in the United States, as well as some of the broader implications it has on society. It’s an important topic if for no other reason than the fact that it’s now practically ubiquitous, and touches the lives of many many people.


*I chose a special poem for the end of this episode, in acknowledgment of yesterday’s global strike in support of the call for ceasfire.

It was written by recently deceased Palestinian poet Refaat Alareer.

It should go without saying, but I will say it: I do not support discrimination. I do not support genocide.

Christmas is two weeks away and whether you celebrate or not, it’s an impactful time of year for a lot of people, which can also mean added anxiety and stress.

Here’s the advent calendar of anxiety-challenging reminders I mentioned during the show. Take them all or just choose a few. But be gentle with yourself! There’s a lot going on
