Happy Sunday! This week I wanted to chat about differentiating between stress and stressors and being aware of the physical impact stress has on our body (often long lasting impacts). I've recently become more and more aware of this in my own life and wanted to share my experience.

I think we often forget that we collectively went through a huge life-changing event in the last few years which undoubtedly created unprecedented stress in our lives. This, in addition to our regular day to day doses of stress lives in our bodies if we don't acknowledge them and can present itself later on in different ways.

I've been learning on how to feel, acknowledge, and sit with my emotions and stress and I have to say it's not easy but it's worth it!

Hello my beautiful Tater Tots!

I had a thought, I also want to start talking you PODatoes. Is that too much. Okay maybe. I still like tater tot, but I also love Podatoes hahah. This is what happens when I get jet lagged. Anyway... 

Another unexpected emotional one today - trigger warning I will be talking about trauma responses a bit, nothing traumatic will be shared but I know it can be a sensitive topic sometimes so please honour and respect how you are feeling on this topic before listening :)

I wanted to share a thought I’ve been having over the last few months that I was able to finally articulate in session with a client recently. I love my job so so much and I am so incredibly grateful to have the privilege to be a part of some wonderful humans’ lives - including yours!! I find it so much easier to come up with articulate ways of putting things when I'm in session with a client. 

I wanted to remind us all (myself included) that trauma responses do not mean we are broken. If we have days where we FEEL broken, which is totally valid and we can sit in that for a while and respect those feelings. However, having responses to trauma and having that be a part of our (sometimes daily) lives does not mean we have not moved on, or we are not healed, or we ARE broken in any way shape or form. 

Thank you for listening, love you all!

Hi Tater Tots! 

In this episode I talk about how I spent my valentine's day, my tattoos, and a general life update and thoughts on my solo travelling. 

I think I'm starting to enjoy this video format, I think I will put it on youtube as well so you can read subtitles if you want to watch the video! 

I hope you are all having a wonderful week, 

Thanks for hanging out with me :)

Hi Tater tots!

I am uploading my very first video episode where I'm SOLO!! I had issues with audio recording and for some reason it works fine on zoom so I figured I'd try something new and include the video too.  

A lot of self-reflection on today's episode, kind of full of rambles and a classic potato metaphor. 

Travelling and recording episodes have proven to be more difficult than I anticipated, I thank you all in advance for your continued support and understanding :)

Hi Tater Tots!

This week I got to hang out with Kendyl, who I met through TikTok (I am loving all the connections I've been making on there!) and she talked to me a bit about her story as a late-blooming lesbian, Tiktok, and learning to better understand her past self. 

Since recording the episode, her and her fiancée have started their own podcast!! So make sure to check out their first episode and show them lots of love from the tater tots :)
