6d ago48:58

48:58

I've been doing a daily practice to retrain my brain for 78 straight days and counting. 🌟 The results have truly been incredible and humbling.

In this episode, I go into greater…

The Ultimate Guide to Loving Your Body (It's Not What You Think) 43:19

20d ago43:19

43:19

I'm guessing you're thinking that I'm going to give you a rundown of the top actions to take, affirmations to make, and other ways to love your shape. But I'm not. It's too sticky, and it's not deep enough. We often avoid truly trying to love our bodies anyway because we think: 1. That we won't make the changes we want to make in our bodies if we l…

28d ago46:32

46:32

Time blocking. Color coding. AI schedulers. Building in time for distractions. An hourly planner. A monthly planner. A guided planner. YOU NAME IT, if it's a framework for how to create schedules and daily structure, I'VE TRIED IT. And none of it has worked long-term, lots of it falling off within the first couple hours of the day. I've got a busin…

What I Share With Those Facing Death of a Loved One | Or, What's Beyond This Physical Plane 26:10

2M ago26:10

26:10

There have been a lot of deaths in and among my community in the past two months. I have found myself in the role repeatedly of being part of a community that uplifts, prays, holds space for and even howls into the wind with those who suffer and grieve. And it's also been a season of needing to find the words. We often say "there are no words," but…

My Nervous System is Making Me Sick & Keeping Me Small (How About You?) 39:19

2M ago39:19

39:19

In this recent season of my body blowing up and things going haywire, I found my way to a nervous system retraining program after a friend said to me, "I recommend a fight/flight course." She, like all the specialists I was seeing at the time, picked up quickly on my stressful and anxiety-ridden perma-state. I spent about six weeks inside the cours…

Not THAT Christian 31:18

2M ago31:18

31:18

Many of my friends were harmed by the church from the inside. Years of giving their blood, sweat and tears to a place seemingly established in the name of God (ie: love), only to find themselves spit out on the other end disillusioned, disheartened and, in some situations, downright traumatized. Me? My harm was from the outside. Being the outsider …

URGENT: Love Your Body Now 30:11

3M ago30:11

30:11

We've all heard the lines of Mary Oliver's poem "The Summer Day" that ends in, "Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?" And we feel inspired! Ah, the possibilities! Ah, don't let it go to waste! I must live! I must laugh! I must love! I must have the most incredible life!! But have you ever linked YOUR BODY to this…

Am I Becoming Jesus-y?! 35:02

3M ago35:02

35:02

It's interesting. I'm realizing that, much like we all have a "money mindset" that we need to heal if we want more abundance in our bank accounts, that we all also have a "Jesus mindset" (or a "faith mindset) that we have the opportunity to heal if we want more spiritual abundance. To be clear, I don't think this is the only way to achieve more spi…

"That I Would Be Good, Even If I Got the Thumbs Down" | Being Our Own Beloved 24:32

3M ago24:32

24:32

The excessive need to do, to accomplish, to succeed, to heal, to find answers, to help others, to know it all - are all of these things in an effort to thwart the harsh voices in our heads telling us we're simply not good? Not loved? Not worthy? I pulled a card from the Mary Magdalene Oracle Deck to help kick off this episode. My improv background …

116: IT'S NOT ONLY A GAME - IT'S JIM SASSEVILLE 1:04:10

3M ago1:04:10

1:04:10

In episode 116, we take some time to look at the work of Schulz friend and fellow cartoonist Jim Sasseville. From ghosting for the Peanuts comic books to trying to launch his onw strip, where did Sasseville's style match up with Schulz and where did it diverge? Also, what's up with the nude models? (Yep. You read that correctly.) We've also got Thi…

After a 7-month long HARD season of stress, anxiety and illness, I'm coming out of it and getting back on track (or, getting on a NEW track because the old one wasn't exactly working). Here's what I'm coming to realize and move toward in my life: the "experts" always tell you the "right" way to do things - your business, parenting, finances, health…

1:16:54

In episode 114, we find out that everything we thought we knew about Charles Schulz is a lie. Ok, Not really. But it turns out despite a reputation for never working with an assistant, there was an exception - the original comic books published in the late fifties and early sixties. Jim Sasseville, Dale Hale and Tony Pocrnick each spent some time w…

We're checking out "The Snoopy Show" S3, episode 11 and "Peanuts by Schulz" episode "A Day With Snoopy". Then since it's March, we look at This Month in Peanuts History...for March! What are the odds? Good grief! Joi…

Look to the sky and hold onto your marbles! It's episode 110 of IT'S A PODCAST, CHARLIE BROWN. Then write a thank you note to your grandmother.

A word of the year is a beautiful thing to help guide you throughout the year. It's like choosing the type of soil that you're going to plant the next year in. It's not the goal itself, it's not the plant. It does the nourishing, the supporting, the reminding all in an effort to move you forward, to help you grow, to continually prompt you to move …

1:34:19

Another holiday season is upon us. In episode 107, instead of going out to find a scraggly little tree that just needs a little love, I found author William Johnson (The Complete History of Peanuts on Parade: A Tribute to Charles M. Schulz) and dragged him inside instead. We have a wide-ranging discussion of Peanut-y goodness. A panoply of Peanuts,…

1:14:42

It's the holiday season! Who better to spend it with than Snoopy! It would be weird if "The Snoopy Show" said "Bert and Ernie" or something (not that I don't love them too). Fortunately, they went with the beagle and we're checking out Season 3, episode 13 (Yes, we're skipping some episodes. We'll fix it later.) "Happiness is Holiday Traditions". W…

13:16

The words we say to ourselves have incredible power and it can be so hard to move from the critical mind to one of self-love, especially if we have a lifelong habit of being hard on ourselves. Often, we simply don't know what else to say to ourselves, we don't have anything good to replace the negative thoughts. This episode is designed for you to …

We hear it all the time: stories of how people rose up from the ashes to become incredibly powerful, influential people who go on to do amazing things in this world. We’ve seen Disney movies that tell us that a parent needs to die in order for us to find the love of our life. We are inundated with the idea that we must suffer in order to have an in…

Ah, that giant buzzword "authenticity." We're looking for it at every turn, especially in this highly curated world we live in. We want to see people being truly authentic - meaning, we want to know that their truth as a human being is just as messy, hard, beautiful, joyful, wrecked and full of potential as we feel our own is.

1:03:43

LIfe in the 70s and 80s may now be looked back on by younger generations as cool and "vintage," but there were much deeper experiences for women growing up at that time. They felt the expectations of their grandmother's generation, urging them to go, do and be all the things that they couldn't - but what that often looked like was, at best, a corpo…

"Do it scared! Done is better than perfect! Take imperfect action!" We see & hear these growth mindset go-for-it-now mantras seemingly everywhere we look. Do you ever want to yell back, "OKAY, BUT TELL ME HOW!!!"? It's all well & good to just tell people to "just do it," but that doesn't work for most of us. The moment we go to "take imperfect acti…
