Hot Mess Happy Hour

We all have "to do" lists. I have several all over the place on post-its and what have you. But here's a new one, for me at least, make a "to don't" list. Things that don't serve you, aren't worth doing, or things that just don't bring you joy. Just don't do it! Don't go to that party where you don't know anyone and you're tired. Don't send out Christmas cards to people you no longer are close to or who don't bother to tell you they have moved. Take them off the list. Don't sign up for something you feel obligated to do, only volunteer for something you love or makes a real difference to someone you care about. THEN, focus on the shorter to do list, after you have trimmed off the things you won't do. Good luck! I am trying this with you. Cheers!

If you are trying to make big changes in 2026 and are not quite succeeding, this podcast is for you. STOP with the scary huge goals or resolutions and go SMALL! You'll still get there... and doing it a bit slower with little tweaks along the way will actually get you there faster than trying to go big or go home. You'll just end up going home and you know it! With nothing to show for it. So join me in our 2026 small improvement plan and let's go from HOT mess to slightly warm mess in no time! YOU CAN DO THIS!! I am here for you. Always be kind to yourself. xo

In this part 2 episode, we continue the discussion including needy ghosts, being haunted, Tadum! and more theatre talk with our good improv friend Norm, whose name is just so perfect for creating just the right puns and we thank him for being such a good sport! We also discuss getting attention you do not want during work video conference calls, Zoom call fails, and major meeting snafus. It's perfect for all my ADHD and hot mess listeners. Enjoy!

A NORMal hot mess episode featuring NORM, my improv friend. He enjoys signing up to mentor people and then ghosting them soon after! He discusses fun improv show stories and all things "Yes, and." He loves his own kids but not other random people's kids and pets. His dog Benji also joins him on this podcast.

Join me for this feel-good Friday mini episode where I talk about volunteering and how it connects you to others and can help reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, while boosting your happiness, giving you social connections, and a sense of purpose.  It shifts focus in your mind from your own worries to helping others. 

I remotely most days and it does feel isolating at times. Volunteering can help counteract feelings of isolation and loneliness. I share my volunteer story and hopefully leave you with some positive ways to get started! Do it!!

Thank you Michael for your time and for coming on this wild ride of a hot mess podcast.

Focus mode, Post-Its, labels, alarms, forgetting to name your phone alarms so you then forget why it is going off...you know the drill! Nate helps us navigate through the time blindness and myriad of ADHD hurdles we both face and a few helpful tips to get through the day without being overwhelmed, and of course we get sidetracked and somehow talk about colonoscopies, climbing mount Kilimanjaro,  and other super relevant topics. Thank you Nate my Mate for being such an awesome and amazing guest!

Join Nate and me as we relive the tale of our hero coworker Cory who started AND quit the very same day! He read the vibe within 8 hours and said "immediately no" to our house of horrors. Also hear the tale of our poor coworker who was fired, had stomach flu and was bit by a rabid fox...all in the same week! A camera crew was waiting for her at her house after getting 10 shots in her stomach. Also, you'll meet a very jarring employee, who collected multiple jars of all sizes. There's no end to the crazy stories we survived and lived to tell the tale! Special thanks to my amazing guest Nate!

Nate is everything you want in a fave coworker — funny,  kind, and smart with a great sense of humor! We worked in a crazy nut house of a place with see-through walls and had to entertain ourselves to get through it all with laughter. He joins me today with a non-alcoholic beverage and calls himself "Nate the Cheap Date" with all you'll save on wine and liquor. This will be a multi-parter as he has a lot of hilarious stories to share! Sit back and get ready to laugh.
