Mildly Spiraling : It’s Fine, I’m Fine

This episode is all about community, community, community. It can be really hard to find community especially when you work from home in an ever isolating world, but I think being a part of and showing up for your community(ies)  it’s such an important form of resistance. And it can be a fun one too! 

I went to a jazz bar last week and it had me so enthralled that I literally jotted down in my notes app, “life is worth LIVING!!!!!!!!!!” Just a friendly reminder what music and art can do for you even in small doses.

I’m deep into another IVF cycle and so far a lot has been very different i.e. dealing with the most insane insurance requirements, but a lot has been similar like I’m kind of in a routine with my medications. I mostly know what to expect, but I will always curse those ganirelix needles. IYKYK.

I so appreciate everyone tuning in week after week or maybe this is your first episode! You’re now part of our little spiraling community, welcome, happy to have you here! :) 

Pssst don't forget you can email me your loves and spirals to be featured on the podcast at [email protected].

In the meantime , might I recommend you listen to one of the last three episodes you may have missed. My personal favorite is The Case of The Lost Wedding Ring so have a listen and I'll be back with lots of loves and spirals in two weeks! <3

You've got to love an episode where you're halfway through recording it and realize you haven't hit record on the video. So if you watch on YouTube you'll have a fun slideshow of my dogs to go with the episode this time!

Psssst! I'm on youtube at @midlyspiralingpodcast. Check it out!

It's been over a year since I learned about my infertility diagnosis and I feel like I'm just getting to a place where I'm owning it a bit more. Like yeah, it sucks, but sometimes you have to find light and laughter through it all. One thing is, I'm learning a lot about myself through the hard times and ultimately I like her a lot.

There are lots of laughs and fun stories throughout the episode, but would it be an episode of Mildly Spiraling without the most niche mentions of fandoms? I had to make time to talk about the PWHL and the Peanuts and think I may need to designate some more time to draft each Peanuts girl to their own PWHL team.

I hope you'll tune in and don't forget you can email me your loves and spirals to be featured on the podcast at [email protected].

Bing Bong Bing Bong! Tune in to hear all things episode 9 before it drops on Monday 3/23!

Cue Sadness Cue Fear Cue Joy Cue ANXIETY because my girls (aka my emotions) have been loud this past week.

I’ve been feeling extra emotional lately. Infertility is fucking hard and honestly there’s no way around it.

Sometimes I think “why the hell am I doing this” as we enter what feels like WWIII, but we have to have hope, hope for a better future. This and finding little loves and lights in everyday life make it easier to get through. Oh and art, sports, and whatever makes you happy!

On this episode I discuss a spiral that keeps coming up for me, shame. It’s such a tough feeling and one that I’m still figuring it out.

It’s a tough conversation, but I hope that I bring a comedic twist to everything I do because honestly laughter is really the best medicine. Frame it and put it on the wall.

Oh and as always, you know I throw a couple of random stories in there cause that’s just how my brain works.

I hope you’ll tune in! <3

It’s been a busy week and I’m a little thrown off by Daylight Savings time. Anyone else feeling extra tired right now?

On this week’s episode of the podcast I share a story about loosing my wedding ring at the beginning of the year. Eeeek!

I also went to my first in-person PWHL game last week and let’s just say I plan to be a season ticket holder next year. It’s just so much fun and so empowering!

Hi! I just love when women. Full stop. I'm so proud of myself for taking steps to advocate for myself which has paid off big! I have some great news on new insurance with an added fertility benefit that I'm super excited about!

I also discuss body image and how I'm struggling as society seems to be going back to a very dark time.

Ok a lot of this episode is about hockey , but it isn't all about hockey, but maybe it is a little bit. I talk (rant) about the deep rooted misogyny within the NHL and Men's hockey in general and my new found love for the PWHL!

Get ready for all the witchy witchy witchy details and my loves and spirals of the week

On this week’s episode I talk about the joy of watching Alysa Liu skate to gold. As a former skater it’s incredible to see someone bring so much joy to the ice and truly she has cracked the mental code. I need her secrets!

This weekend I had the opportunity to see Every Brilliant Thing during one of its previews on Broadway. I was blown away by the impact it had on me. What a beautiful testament to the little things that make life worth living.

I hope you’ll tune into hear all about it along with some other joys and spirals.

I’d also love if you’d follow me on wherever you listen to your podcasts, throw a rating up, and email me your loves and spirals to [email protected]. I always love to hear what is bringing other’s joy and I’ll even read them on the podcast!! <3

In this episode I talk about the recipe for a hangover from hell post- Valentines Day wine. 

I unexpectedly get pretty emotional discussing my journey as a figure skater and share my thoughts on some of the Milano Cortina stories so far. 

Anyway, why are fertility apps so rude? What’s with the notes about being required to take a hormone test on the daily. It’s all already stressful enough.
