I Hardly Know Her!

I’ve learned a LOT of life lessons from my work in comedy. This episode tackles just FOUR of these lessons. Also - I cannot think of a time in my life when I have been as exhausted as I am right now so I busted this episode out as I blazed my way through a massively busy week because this podcast (the whole thing, not just this episode,) is super important to me and I believe strongly in maintaining priorities and commitments I make to myself in regards to my own projects.

I’m fascinated by the connections in life that bring one experience to the next...to the next...to the next. Even when those connections take a back seat as life moves forward, they are still an important piece of the big picture.

Stop waiting for the mythical unicorn of “perfect timing” to try something new or start that business or share your story. Be intentional with your motivation! Teensie-tiny steps are better than zero progress.

Finding peace and comfort can come in many ways. For me, it’s a feeling of connection that I have between myself, all living people and things, and a higher power. I’m a huge fan of God, Jesus, and the spiritual energy that guides me through this life to soften some of the tough blow and make sense of situations that can leave me thinking “whut in thee hell just happened?!?!”

Career paths, life goals, relationships, deep rooted passions...all of them can come into focus if you are just willing to keep working hard, try new things, and recognizing that each experience we are given can ultimately enhance our skill set to achieve outcomes that we may have never otherwise been able to imagine. Don’t be afraid to “fail.” Do it often! Do it quickly! And pay attention to what you learn along the way and find what you love more quickly.

Most days I am SOOOOOO TIRED folks! Is anyone well-rested these days? We all have so much going on at work and home and in our brains and on our plates and sometimes our goals don’t pan out the way we so desperately want them to. Ugh. So. Like. At what point can I just give up? Listen in to hear 3 tips on what I do when I am ready to throw up my hands in the air and quit everything!

It’s lucky number 22!!! This episode number inspired me to cuddle up with myself and ponder on a slew of things that make me happy, and warm my cold black heart. Just that simple. I have SO much to be grateful for! What are some of the things that YOU are grateful for?

Sometimes people are embarrassed about going to therapy, or obtaining other types of support as we trudge through life. I used to think my NEED for counseling meant I was weak. Now, I know it’s because of therapy (and lots of other great tools, intentionally seeking personal development, and putting self care as a top priority) that I am stronger than ever before. And that’s pretty dang cool, in my book.

Time is a peculiar thing. It drags on sometimes in the moment especially when we are in the thick of something unpleasant, and yet, *POOF* somehow years fly by simultaneously. Don’t let life pass you by! And for daily inspo follow #LunchBoxWisdoms

This episode is all about my passion for adoption. My stumbling into advocacy a few years ago occurred because I came to a point in my life where I really wanted to speak out, proudly, about my role as a birth mom, (a woman who has placed a child for adoption,) in order to spur more dialogue around adoption as a whole within the community around me and beyond. I’m so stoked that the Executive Director of A New Beginning Adoption Agency joined me in an interview regarding the broad scope of all sides of adoption, including foster programs, and how people can get involved.
