In back with another super random episode, with my quarantine buddy (aka. my husband). The conversation was supposed to be about whether or not decaf should be considered to be real coffee (I vote "yay", he votes "nay"), but the conversation derailed into something else (A foodie talk ranging from cake to wine to pasta to travel experiences) and I decided to post it anyway. I hope you enjoy! And thank you for listening. : )

In the episode I talk about how certain life circumstances made me a little more open-minded about something I used to frown upon. Sometimes it takes unusual circumstances to pull us out of our comfort zone and get us to try something new. Thank you for listening! : )

This is my first episode with a guest. This recording was actually intended to be a warm-up before recording a real episode with my quarantine buddy, but I decided to post it anyway. It is almost too random to describe. We talk conspiracies, home repairs, board games, etc. I hope you enjoy. Thank you for listening! Feel free to reach out to me on IG @nauticaltwist. : )

In a recent conversation, I was reminded of a comment that I hear a lot as an Instructor.

We all have our own labels and definitions of what we do, but how often are we reaching to tap into another area outside of our usual outlets. Are we working the creative and formulaic sides of our mind?

Once in a while, I'll catch myself becoming so comfortable with watching creativity that I forget to give a try. Even if it isn't "my kind of thing", why not try?

In the midst of quarantining, there is an opportunity to tap into that other side. With the right setting and opportunity, we can be so much more than we usually allow ourselves to be.

So...I went into this quarantine with a determination to make this time count while having to #stayhome. But I, like others, have had a recent struggle with losing momentum. In this episode I talk a bit about sublte changes quietly sabotaging progress and a way I have found to pick up momentum again. Thank you for listening! : )

In this episode, I talk a little bit about my background. How I grew up as a bit of a socially awkward outsider. I went from disliking myself so much, frustrated that I didnt quite belong, to learning to love me. I discuss one of the empowering moments that helped shift my perspective of myself. I decided to stop waiting for the world to make a space for me and decided that I could make room for myself. There is so much more to each of us than what others may decide for us. I had to realize that, in order to grow. I also talk about why I am here on this platform, using a podcast as one of many ways to reach out to others. Thank you for listening! Feel free to reach out to me on Instagram. : )

We can sometimes be so blinded by our own assumptions and fears that we don't even try to discover the truth standing in front of us. This episode is based on a comment. I saw after watching a vlog. Thank you so much for tuning in and please stay safe and healthy!

Hey there! I have struggled with insomnia for most of my life and have tried many different things to make it go away and allow me to have consistent nights of sleep. In this episode I talk about how, last night, I tried to make my insomnia work for me. Thank you so much for listening and please be safe!

Hello! I hope you're doing well. In this episode I talk about a recent conversation I had about awareness. Thank you for listening and please be safe out there!

In this episode, I share my thoughts after a random conversation with someone during my last visit to the gym. (Side note: the gym is now closed, due coronavirus concerns) Thank you for tuning in! : )
