If you saw the title of today's episode and were hoping for some DIY tips, I'm sorry to disappoint. Today's episode is about our compulsion to try and 'fix it' when someone we love is struggling. I still fall into this trap despite the fact that I so often warn others against it. Oh well, I suppose I'm human too!
Thanks so much for listening! I love helping people change (and improve!) their perception of their lives -- aka find more JOY.

We think somewhere between 60-70,000 thoughts per day. Roughly 90% of those thoughts are repeats of the day before and roughly 70% of them are negative. So, if it seems like your thoughts are stuck in a negative, repeating loop, you'd be right! It may be time to 'shake up your snow globe.' Today, let's chat about shaking things up!

Today I answer a question I've been asked a couple times in recent weeks: how to unearth our creative side, our thoughts that are buried deep within us, when we are so busy going through all the daily routines of life? Let's chat about how to get to some of the layers that reside underneath all the busyness!

You might infer from the title of today's episode that there's some meandering down memory lane today. And you would be correct!
Memory is funny, isn't it? Sometimes we don't really remember all of the specifics (at least I don't) but we remember the feeling. So, let's chat about memories and I'll share some of mine.

Today’s episode is about remaining steady in the midst of swirling, whirling energy. I'm sure you've experienced it before -- a group starts talking about a subject, the discussion gets heated, and the energy turns into a tornado. Time to back away -- retreat!
AND! As a bonus, I'll give you some of the history of the actual whirling dervishes.

Well, it's probably not hard to guess what today's episode is about: Mr. Rogers! Well, at least some 'Mr. Rogers' with a dash of 'Bob Ross' thrown in. AND! The answer to a question about political anxiety. You'll just have to listen.
