Hello loves! Thank you for listening!

What is the most important is that we get back to it and that we get back to self. 

That we dust ourselves off, shut out the skeptics and when 

we feel ready, that we keep on keeping on.

Hello

I am taking the rest of 2024 and the beginning of January 2025 off 🚫🗣as far as new podcast episodes but unlike my break back in August (in which I completely stepped away due to a tumultuous 2024), 😳 I will be having some great re-releases 🎙coming your way.

Here's one of them!

Hello...thanks for listening!

This will be a Bonus episode as I want to wish Introverts a Happy World Introvert Day-JAN 2!

I found out later in life that I was/am an introvert and I am so grateful that I did! "Better late than never!"

One of my fave Dr. Maya Angelou quotes "When you know better, you do better."

Before this knowledge I never recharged and with that along with working in extroverted jobs and being a caretaker for fourteen years I had poor mental health and bouts with depression.

I name some of my fave resources that have helped me regarding introversion and I also name a lot of podcast episodes that I have in which I share my journey as well as tips and information that have helped me immensely. :)

This is an 'accessible' podcast! Here is the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠transcript⁠⁠⁠ via Castmagic!

Thanks, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Erin Perkins with MabelyQ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for 'schooling' me on transcripts for the Deaf Community!

This was my original holiday podcast episode for introverts, Empaths and HSP’s back in 2022 as far as how to cope (both away from family and if you’re with family or visiting family).

Looking back at this episode, I’m noticing that a lot of my tips are the same as this years (2024) if you’re visiting family.

I hope you enjoy this episode and that it helps you if you’re an introvert, an empath and/or an HSP (Highly Sensitive Person).

Below are the show notes from the original episode with more details on it. :)

Thanks in advance!

Hello lovelies! Thanks for listening!

‘Ep 125 Onward + Upward’

They call it the day of mourning. :(

Here's the book: 📖

A Wampanoag story told in a Native tradition. Maple and Quill learn the story of Weeâchumun (corn) and what really happened at the first “Thanksgiving” from their grandmother.

Hello lovelies! Thanks for listening!

How are you doing?

How are y’all doing?

The US Election 🇺🇸 has put me and most of the country (and the world really) through a roller coaster 🎢 of emotions and feeling stressed AF.

Speaking for myself...I’ve went to from a state of shock 😳 to down 😔 to frustrated 😣 to neutral and stoic 🫥 to now feeling “okay” 👌🏽.

And dusting myself off and ready to go ‘onward’ and ‘upward’. ⬆️

Ready to contribute and to do what I can to help as much as I can in any and every way within my community and building a close-knit true friend community also. 👯‍♀️

I had a friend of mine recently that I vented to that said, “it’s okay to feel hopeful, she was too” and that it’s not a “bad thing” or a “waste of time” ever.

I was thinking the past week and in the middle of feeling down I remembered that half the country voted for VP Harris! 🥳

Right now as I check the numbers (as the state of California is still counting ballots due to their very close house races) the difference is around 3 million votes.

Why am I pointing this out?

Because it reminds me that so, so many people *did vote for VP Harris! ☺️

There are some podcasts that have helped me in getting through it and with positive words on what we *can do despite who will become president.

The links are below! :))

I hope that they help you as much as they’re helping me. :)

Let’s feel our feelings, lean on our communities and as soon as we feel ready, let’s get back to it and go ‘onward and upward’!

I hope you enjoy this podcast episode.

Hello Lovies! Thanks for listening!

I’m in the US and… What the eff just happened?!

I am disappointed and devastated and confused. 😖

I’m not looking forward to having 4 more years of toxicity and divisiveness. ☠️

There’s a saying “united we stand divided we fall”. It feels like we’re falling right now unfortunately.

OMGosh.

This is where we need to lean on each other for support and strength.

And I second what a lot of people online have been saying which is…self-care and self-love is of the utmost importance right now.

And self-care can be a form of activism!

This, as well as asking for support is what we need right now. I know I do. 🥺

Please take care of yourselves right now and I will strive to do the same. ❤️‍🩹

And the next day (or when we feel strong enough), let’s dust ourselves off and get back to it. 🤝.
