The Path to Joy

Two Hundred Episodes -- What??

Today's epsiode is not actually my 200th episode. It was a few weeks ago and guess what? I didn't acknowledge it at all. Nothing. I said nothing to my family. I didn't really even think about it. And that IS a problem. So, this episode is my attempt at rectifying the situation!

What's 'Super' about the Super Bowl??

Who cares if the Super Bowl was a few weeks ago (maybe a month), I still want to talk about it! And not because I'm a massive football fan -- I'm still trying to figure out the rules. But the event itself holds a lot to discuss!

We Are One!

On today's episode I share some reflections from my January retreat. Or maybe  my biggest takeaway: we are one. We are all one square in this big crazy quilt that is humanity. And if we realize that, regardless of all our differences, we can still come together with love and compassion, we may have found the answer, friends.

Some Appreciation for Your Body!

Today's episode is a bit different -- woohoo!! I don't always embrace change as much as I should but THIS one I'm embracing! The ladies at my retreat a few weeks ago asked me to record a meditation that I did at the retreat -- so here you go, friends. You can listen in the car or, better yet, lay down for a few minutes and take a listen!

In the Middle of the Night!

Are you ever wide awake in the middle of the night? I know that almost sounds like a rhetorical question -- especially if you are a woman over the age of 35! Today, I chat about why we are up in the middle of the night and, more importantly, what we can do to get back to sleep!

A Tree, Some Snow, and the Memory of a Wild Day!

Today's episode felt good to write: the story of how the twins came into this world. Whenever I talk about miracles, this is the story I tell. Because these boys are miracles. I hope you enjoy listening to this episode as much as I did writing it!

You've Survived 100% of Your Worst Days!

Sometimes we need reminders about how strong and resilient we are. I do love the phrase: 'You've survived 100% of your worst days.' Sometimes we just need to remember that, even if today is really rough, we have a history of surviving. You will get through this.

The Feeling of 'Being Ready!'

Today's episode is inspired by an email from my friend Cara Bradley about 'being ready.' Sometimes we have to take that first step before our brains say we are ready. We have to just do it. So, what does 'being ready' actually feel like??
