The One About The Plants

Mar 22nd, 2021 18m 39s

A life story about how wanting fresh air in my bedroom led to me irritatingly asking, "Who keeps turning the light on in my room?!" I promise that will make perfect sense when you listen to this episode. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy

What Do You Believe?

Mar 15th, 2021 21m 44s

I'm not asking what your religious or spiritual beliefs are, I'm asking what you believe moment-to-moment which has a direct impact on your behaviour. If a friend who is glued to her phone doesn't respond immediately, do you "believe" that you

100 Thing List Revisited... Kinda

Feb 22nd, 2021 19m 47s

100 years ago I wrote a blog, long before blogs were cool - and just recently I gained access to it again. In today's episode I'm sharing two articles from 2006 and seeing what has changed (and what hasn't!) See omnystudio.com/listener for priv

Happy, Healthy, Safe and At Peace

Feb 15th, 2021 23m 45s

I end almost every episode by saying, "May you be happy, may you be healthy, may you be at peace," and today, I want to talk about what all those words actually mean. What does it mean to be happy, when all of us define it differently? What doe

Word of The Year

Feb 1st, 2021 40m 49s

I've been doing a Word of the Year for a long time now, and I've found it varies from super helpful to super forgettable. In today's episode, I'm going to explain what that is and go down memory lane as I uncover the ones I've had for the past

Lesssons from 44 Years Part Two

Dec 14th, 2020 41m 56s

My list of lessons from 44 years on Earth grew too long for one episode, so today we're going to talk about what else is on that list. I'm also going go let you know what's happening in Season Two (and when to expect it). It's been an amazing y

Lesssons from 44 Years Part One

Dec 7th, 2020 35m 40s

It's December, my favourite month of the year! Among other things it's my birthday month, and my birthday always has me feeling very reflective. In this episode, I'm sharing some of the lessons which have been on my mind this year - everything

The Concrete Balloon

Nov 30th, 2020 28m 49s

When other people say crappy things about it, we often let those words bury into our soul, where we carry them around like a balloon filled with concrete. The sad thing is, that person said what they did, then moved on with their lives. So how

The Turn Left Life

Nov 23rd, 2020 24m 3s

A couple years ago I came up with a concept called The Turn Left Life. In today's episode I'm going to tell you all what that means, and how it has a direct impact on all the goals I make for myself. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy info

Are you living or are you dying?

Nov 16th, 2020 27m 6s

My thoughts today are all about this idea that we're all dying (sorry, but it's true) - so what are we supposed to do with that information? Are bucket lists the way to go? How do we ensure we're living each day rather than just moving closer t

Patience and Faith

Nov 9th, 2020 30m 56s

Is being totally ignorant to the worse case scenario the same thing as having faith that the worst case won't happen? And, my phrase of the year was "paciencia y fe" (patience and faith) - man, I had no idea just how important those two things

About Time

Nov 2nd, 2020 21m 55s

Time. We either have too much or not enough, and usually when we need it most, we don't have it - and when we have it, we waste it. Let's talk about that.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Words of Advice

Oct 26th, 2020 31m 39s

We all love to give advice, and most of us at some point in time will ask for it. Why is that? Do we really need to crowd source our life choices? (Yeah I kinda think we do, but for different reasons than you might think.) Also, I'm giving you

Buy The Freaking Shoes

Oct 19th, 2020 21m 11s

Sparkly shoes are LIFE. For real. Listen in to find out what I mean by that. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Decision Making Made Easy

Oct 12th, 2020 23m 5s

Making decisions comes easy to me, but it wasn't always that way. In this episode I share with you two life philosophies which have gone a long way to helping me become a better, faster decision maker. This one is for all of you wafflers out th

But Weight There's More

Oct 5th, 2020 35m 16s

This one is a big topic (pun intended.) As someone who has been overweight her whole life, it's something I've struggled a lot with. It's also taught me some really useful lessons about goal setting. Even if you've never had a weight issue, lis

Nothing to Sea Here

Sep 28th, 2020 26m 11s

No, that's not a spelling mistake. In this episode I'm going to tell you how miles of open sea, a cryptic Dutchman, and fluffy brown penguins changed how I see, well, just about everything. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Sesame Seed

Sep 21st, 2020 36m 44s

The entire podcast was born from a sesame seed. More specifically, it's based on a conversation I had with my sister about a sesame seed. It'll make more sense once you listen in. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A Lifetime of Awesome

Sep 14th, 2020 21m 16s

I used to be a pretty miserable person - my default setting was negative, "life sucks and then you die." Then I saw a post on social media which changed everything for me. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The One About the Box

Sep 7th, 2020 27m 26s

A few years back, I decided to challenge myself to do a box jump. I'm not athletic, I have terrible balance, and I'm afraid to take both feet off the ground at the same time. I still thought this was a good idea. See omnystudio.com/listener for

Silver Linings

Aug 31st, 2020 25m 1s

It feels like all we talk about these days is the pandemic. Okay, fine, I'll talk about it to - but from an entirely different point of view. It doesn't all suck! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Work Life Nahhhh

Aug 24th, 2020 32m 58s

Today's episode is about how I think the concept of work/life balance is basically BS, and the four things I use every day to replace it with. Seriously, stop bothering with this balance business and find things which actually WORK to make thin

Altshmertz

Jul 31st, 2020 16m 39s

Does listening to yourself talk about your life's problems (over and over again) ever bore you? Do your friends start to roll their eyes when you once again talk about your job, your partner, your annoying kids? Do YOU start to roll your eyes w

Walking on Sunshine

Jul 31st, 2020 30m 38s

Generally speaking I hate exercise with a great passion. However, as age comes upon me and I'm supposed to be looking after myself, I finally found something I like to do - which is walking. Today's episode is about the lessons I've learned fro
