Ep 30: Pay attention to what you skip
/
This episode is for you if you're interested in general mindfulness for personal growth.
The things we avoid are the things that can be teaching us something. I'm talking about the topics and people who give me a little twinge that I should pay attention to, both in real life and on social media.
Mentioned in this episode:
Tools of Titans by Tim Ferriss
Read MoreEp 29: What are your intentions?
/
This episode is for your if you’re curious about how setting intentions works.
If you’ve heard the phrase “setting intentions” and thought it was just a bunch of vague feel-good language, think again. In this episode, I’m sharing how setting intentions can lead to getting the most out of your day, your experiences, and your interactions with others.
Read MoreEp 28: Motherhood through Adoption with Lindsay Lawler
/
This episode is for you if you or a loved one has ever struggled through the fertility process, or if you’re interested in the topic of adoption.
I am so happy to share this conversation with one of my dearest friends, Lindsay Lawler. Lindsay and I have been like sisters for nearly two decades, from our freshman college dorm to living together throughout our 20’s in Los Angeles. Still, the topic of fertility and motherhood remained such a sensitive one that we didn’t talk about it much until Lindsay was already walking down the road towards adoption.
Read MoreEp 27: Ask me anything
/
After a little bit of a recording production snafu, I turned to listeners for what I thought would be a quick episode answering some of the most common questions I get on social media. But there were a LOT of questions to cover and I had many more words than I was anticipating, so here I present to you a super sized episode answering listener-submitted questions.

Read MoreEp 23: What are you measuring?
/
We’re all measuring something, but are we using the right metric? Are we measuring time or result? Are we measuring our waist or our health? We can measure our social media or our water intake, but if we’re not setting ourselves up for success, then we’ll fail emotionally every time.
In this episode, I’m musing over some measurements that caught me off guard, and how I’m shifting my perspective on some of the things I'm measuring.

What is the best trip you've ever taken? And what does "best" even mean? Was the best location, with the best people, was it simple or revelatory or both?
This prompt is a great conversation starter.

Flowers in the Attic was published in 1979 and has become somewhat of a cult classic novel, especially for women of a certain age who passed it among friends.
My dear friend Meg Tietz suggest that we revisit Flowers in the Attic by VC Andrews, and we were both really surprised by what we found between the pages of this book.
Read MoreEp 16: Are you a chili cooker or a pizza orderer?
/
This episode and this concept is brought to you by an old boyfriend, who (I think?) made up this analogy and it contributed to the end of our relationship and also has stayed with me as a major life question and metaphor.
Read MoreEp 15: What is your mantra?
/

Every product Jamie and I discuss is listed below!
Read MoreEp 13: Who do you tell?
/
Today’s topic - like many of these prompts - will either give you a buzz of excitement or a lump in your throat. I am aware that lots of things that we talk about on this show can fall either way. You can’t WAIT to talk about it, or you don’t ever press play because the title alone gives you some feelings you’d rather avoid. Today is one of those, I think, and believe when I say that I’ve been on both sides of this one.
