Learning to Live

**Trigger Warning for abortion** Appropriately titled, in this episode I talk about the time I (accidentally) became pregnant and then the decision that followed. It should be noted that I am pro-choice. If you're curious about my experience, but would prefer not to hear this full episode, you can skip to 22:46 at which point, I read a poem summarizing the whole ordeal. The last four minutes are quiet because I was simply lost in thought and felt that it was fitting to not edit it out.

Judgement from others is something many of us have experienced, but what can we do about it? In this episode, I discuss the way of thinking that has given me immense amounts of freedom from such judgements as I reveal that the answer is "nothing."

**Trigger Warning for alcoholism** Have you ever recorded yourself by yourself while heavily intoxicated? I have. Listen in (but not too closely since the audio quality is complete crap) as I comment on my relationship to alcohol as it were on November 17, 2016 (approximately 16 months before I stopped drinking). If you enjoyed this episode, please leave me a review...but only if you really really liked it because I'm not down for reviews that are less than 5-stars. Seeking Super Fans only. On another note...If you or someone you know is struggling, please know that you are not alone.

For me, balance is a theme. If I don't focus on it, I get lost in life and distracted from the person I'm trying to become. You'll hear me talk about how I've been feeling lately and a few ways I've been able to reset my mind and get that balance back with intentionality.

Just me reflecting on my recent business decisions as I struggle with self-doubt, resistance and my harshest critic - myself.

Listen as I share my personal experiences with professional therapy and why I suggest that every living human have a therapist.

**Trigger warning for sexual assault** Mom and dad, you can leave now. This episode includes detailed accounts of the friends with benefits situation-ships I've been involved in as well as the ten guidelines I now use so those ships don't sink or explode. Cause nobody likes shrapnel in their you-know-what.

Listen as I go off on my first tangent regarding the resistance I've hit every time I try to further my self-growth...and how I'm finally pushing past it.
