🦄 Podcast 1: Excuse me, self.
Welcome to my very first foray into podcasting! This is the audio from my Substack Live from earlier today PLUS my shiny, new theme song!
I not only managed to figure out audio editing, but I also figured out how to put my podcast episodes on Spotify, Apple, and YouTube like a real-life adult!
Unicorn Hollow’s January Theme:
But Everything Looks Dead!
This month, I’ll be focusing on the hard lessons of winter (both literal and metaphorical), where we do things over and over, and just have to trust that something is happening, even when that feels like a big, fat lie.
This week, I’m talking about Intentional Interruption—taking a couple of minutes to stop the brain churning and force myself to do something that is different from the status quo.
Whether I’m stuck on a character plot point, trying to get a theme to wrap up neatly, summarizing a grant request, trying to not pull out my hair as I step on another shockingly-sharp Lego, or resisting the urge to not strangle a haughtily sarcastic teenager, this practice has an outsized impact on my problem solving abilities that still shocks me every time.
Over the last decade+ of intentionally interrupting my status quo, I have found that my brain almost immediately is able to look at the issue I’m stuck on in a new light, just from making myself move.
How about you? Have you tried this? What small practice or idea have you found that helps you get unstuck? I’d love to hear!
Friday Finds is a reader supported series of Unicorn Hollow. I’m so glad you’re here! It’s a true honor to share your time. If you’d like to see more of my writing, hop over and check out the rest of what’s available in the Hollow and subscribe to get it all!
If Unicorn Hollow speaks to you, I’d love your help in building this (occasionally snark-adjacent) little nook of hope where we all get to show up as our full, messy selves. You can do this by subscribing, liking, commenting, or sharing Unicorn Hollow with other hope-seekers. You can also safely and securely support me financially by clicking the link below. Everything goes directly to support my family as I build up Unicorn Hollow. Thanks for being my unicorn!
