In this episode I talk about going outside, Anne Lamott, and not being a perfectionist. Just walk outside your door!

This episode is about practicing gratitude and getting our heads in a better place (from a completely non-professional perspective). I talk about keeping a gratitude journal and having a "grateful" dinner with your family.

In this episode, I talk about a book called Rest: Why you get more done when you work less, by Alex Soojung-Kim Pang, and how rest is not only helpful to make us more productive but also just in its own right, it is important to our lives (especially in a pandemic, but also all the time).

In this episode, I talk about coming up with a list (real or virtual) of things that make you feel better. Not like eating 10 cookies (not that there is anything wrong with that), but things that *actually* make you feel better.

In this episode, I talk about how to set up your ideal week calendar (idea by Cathy Mazak, academic women's writing coach extraordinaire), but with a focus on college students rather than faculty.

In this episode, I talk about the 5 vowels in Spanish (aeiou) and the (more like 11-14) vowels in English, and how they are pronounced differently. Also, I talk about the schwa sound and how we should not pronounce this sound in Spanish!
