Don't Cut Your Own Bangs

Creative expression can be a powerful tool for personal healing and growth because the creative work we do is so connected to the healing work we need. From following along in this Creativity Miniseries, you know that Emily Sutherland has been my special guest on this journey. Emily is a ghostwriter, published author, coach, and executive storyteller. Together, we have explored the messy, magical stages of bringing an idea to life—Inspiration, Preparation, and Perspiration. Now, we’ve arrived at the final stage: Creation. In the Creation stage, you pour your heart into the work, but how do you know when it’s truly finished? Is it ever really done? When is it time to share your creation with the world? This final stage of the process can feel both vulnerable and exhilarating. Emily and I explore it all. While this episode covers the last stage in our series on the creative process, we’re not done just yet! Stick around for our next episode, when we share our Creativity Toolkit—packed with tips on making time for your craft, resources for self-publishing, and much more. Thank you for listening!

Don't Cut Your Own Bangs

Welcome back to our Creativity Miniseries on Don’t Cut Your Own Bangs! We’re diving into the next (and sweatiest) stage of creativity: perspiration! This is where ideas move from being dreams and start becoming reality. I’m joined once again by my brilliant friend, Emily H. Sutherland—a ghostwriter, published author, coach, and executive storyteller. Together, we’re getting real about what it takes to push past resistance, embrace creativity, and bring your ideas to life. We use our own messy, sweaty experiences—including my upcoming children’s book—to illustrate the difference between “just do it” sweating and “shame” sweating. And, we share how movement, breath work, and self-imposed deadlines can help you power through creative roadblocks. If you’ve ever felt stuck between having a great idea and making it happen, this episode is your ticket to action—no perfection required.

Don't Cut Your Own Bangs

Welcome back to Don’t Cut Your Own Bangs and our Creativity Miniseries! I’m thrilled to continue this deep dive into the creative process alongside my friend and fellow creative, Emily H. Sutherland—a ghostwriter, published author, coach, and executive storyteller. Together, we’re exploring what it means to embrace creativity, break through resistance, and bring ideas to life. In our last episode, we discussed the first stage of creativity: inspiration—how talking about creativity, building community around it, and applying maybe a little bit of structure can allow ideas to feel more tangible and possible. Now, we’re moving into the next phase: preparation—the crucial but often overlooked step that turns inspiration into something real. Preparation can feel deceptively inactive—even lazy. But in reality, nothing is wasted. This stage is where clarity and intention come together, setting the foundation for everything that follows. If you’ve ever felt stuck between having a great idea and actually making it happen, this miniseries is for you! THE TREASURED JOURNAL The one tool I recommend to all of my therapy clients is journaling. Getting your thoughts out of your head and down on the page is a simple act that can change your life.

Don't Cut Your Own Bangs

Hello and welcome back to the “Don’t Cut Your Own Bangs” podcast! Creativity isn’t just about talent—it’s about navigating the uncertainty of the messy middle, where inspiration meets resistance, doubt, and discovery. In this special miniseries, I’m diving deep into the creative process with my friend and fellow creative, Emily H. Sutherland. Emily is a ghostwriter, published author, coach, and executive storyteller. And that just barely scratches the surface of her experience and talents. Emily and I first connected when I sought her guidance on my own exciting new project—writing a children’s book. What I learned from working with her was so powerful that I knew we had to share our thoughts on creativity. Because here’s the truth: each of us is creative. Each of us deserves the joy of bringing bold, beautiful, and deeply personal ideas to life. Join us as we break down creativity into four phases: inspiration, preparation, perspiration, and creation. Whether you're an artist, writer, entrepreneur, or someone who’s ever dreamed of creating something, this series is for you. Let’s explore the power of creativity together—because the messy middle isn’t just where the hard work happens. It’s where the magic lives!

Don't Cut Your Own Bangs

Hello and welcome to the final episode in our series, “Riding the Waves.” This has been an exploration to find what becomes available to us when we hold big ideas, big feelings, and big problems a little more lightly. So far, Juanita Molano Parra and I have looked at the issue through the lens of the following questions: -Where should I start? -What should I do? -What if I fail? -What now? In this final episode, we bring it all together by asking “What do I know?” Juanita and I have really enjoyed sharing and bouncing ideas off of each other as a way to determine why these big things can be so challenging, what gets in the way of progress, and, ultimately, what opens up for us when we add some mindfulness to our approach. Thank you so much for joining us on this journey. Your time, your care, and your attention mean more to me than you know! And a big, very special THANK YOU to Juanita for her time, her knowledge, her insight, and her friendship. It’s been a blast! Be sure to listen next time as "Don't Cut Your Own Bangs" continues to navigate the messy middle between where we are and where we want to be.

Welcome to the penultimate episode in our series, “Riding the Waves,” in which Juanita Molano Parra and I examine what comes up, what opens up, and what becomes available when we hold big ideas, big feelings, and big problems a little more lightly. Join Juanita and me as we consider “What Now?” As with the other questions in our series, this prompt helps us find a way to work through the big, challenging things and deal with what gets in the way of progress. Here are a few observations from our discussion: -Asking “what now?” can introduce confusion or fear of consequences. -Be present. Assess how you feel and what you’re experiencing at this moment. -What’s happening now is not necessarily urgent. Consider taking a pause. -Simply being in the now can help lighten your grip on big things. Thank you for listening and be sure to tune in next time for the final episode in our series.

It seems counterintuitive to actually loosen your grip on something that you care about. But, that’s what Juanita Molano Parra and I are examining in our series, “Riding the Waves.” We’re looking at what comes up, what opens up, and what becomes available when we hold big ideas, big feelings, and big problems a little more lightly. Can this technique help us navigate rough emotional waters? As a way in, Juanita and I pose several questions that indicate how we approach and manage “big things.” This episode continues our breakdown of “what’s at stake?” Stakes can be both inspirational and paralyzing. We explore how stakes motivate (and demotivate) us, share what gets in the way of progress, and use real-life examples to provide context. Here are a few thoughts from our discussion: Do we create unrealistic expectations when we use educational information to measure our success? How can we balance self development with the pitfalls of perfectionism? Using how-to resources for growth and development can be constraining, but “enlightenment will always taste of freedom.” (A quote of a quote.) Best practices can provide a sense of permission in the face of risk. Possibility is the flip side of risk, and possibility can be filled with beauty, magic, and joy. Join us next time as our series continues. Thank you for listening! JUANITA MOLANO PARRA, MBA, PCC Juanita is an engineer and MBA turned certified life and leadership coach.

Hello and thank you for joining Juanita Molano Parra and me as we continue “Riding the Waves,” the series in which we examine what comes up, what opens up, and what becomes available when we loosen our grip on big ideas, big feelings, and big problems. By holding big things a little more lightly, it becomes easier to ride the turbulent emotional waves. This episode introduces the question, “what’s at stake?” Stakes can be both good and bad, penalty and reward, inspirational and paralyzing. We explore how stakes motivate us, what gets in the way, and real-life examples for context. Here are a few observations from our discussion: Parenting, in particular, carries huge stakes. Additional stakes can surface with people who are asked to watch our children or who have opinions on how our children are being raised. Social media can affect how we view stakes and prompt us to doubt ourselves. Sometimes there is conflict between how much something matters and how to make that thing happen. The actual stakes can be very different from what we perceive to be at stake. We can feel attachments to a variety of things including people, outcomes, stories, and the way things have always been done. Thank you for listening.

Hello! Thank you for joining Juanita Molano Parra and me as we pick up from our last discussion and dive deeper into the question, "what if I fail?" This is the third question in our series, “Riding the Waves,” where we examine what comes up, what opens up, and what becomes available when we hold big ideas, big feelings, and big problems a little more lightly. Several interesting ideas became clear during the first part of our discussion on fear and failure. Now, we consider why the mere possibility of failure can be so difficult to manage and discuss how we often get in the way of our own progress. In addition to sharing real-world examples, we also offer a helpful exercise for loosening that tight grip on the big things in life. Here are some of the discussion points from this episode: We have to learn to navigate “what if I fail?” so that we keep moving toward our goals and dreams. Failure and judgment are closely related. When we ruminate and let negative thoughts run free, our bodies react as though we’re actually under threat, which can reinforce the negativity. Because fear of failure can include other fears, such as fear of rejection, we experience an increased sense of risk. Failure to acknowledge a fear makes it difficult to manage the risks. Fear can tell us a lot about ourselves. The “Three Column Exercise” is a great resource because it gives your fears a voice. Take an inventory of your resources. Most likely, they will be more plentiful than you think and can help ease some of the fear you may be feeling. Fear can shrink your focus and your view of what’s real, but lightening your grip on the fear allows clarity to come into view. Once we’re clear on what we fear, we can ask: What is to be addressed? What is to be healed? What is to be tackled? These questions naturally lead to “What’s at stake?” And that is the question we examine next time in our series, “Riding the Waves.” Thank you for listening!

Welcome back and thank you for joining Juanita Molano Parra and me as we examine what comes up, what opens up, and what becomes available when we hold big ideas, big feelings, and big problems a little more lightly. This is an approach to well-being that begins with a question and often leads to other questions. But, if the answers can help us loosen our grip on those big scary things, then it becomes a bit easier to ride the turbulent emotional waves. This episode in our series introduces the question, “what if I fail?” We explore why the concept of failure is hard and what gets in the way of healthy processing. We also offer real-life examples to provide context. Here are a few observations from our discussion: Facing fear of failure is easier when you’re not facing it alone because it can create a new intentionality or a new framework for moving forward. Self sabotage can deceptively take the form of something worthwhile. Changing expectations can change fear levels and create more room to fail. Can judgment provide meaning? When we have a death grip on the big things, it can be helpful to speak them aloud. Thank you for listening!

Thank you for joining Juanita Molano Parra and me for our continuing series, “Riding the Waves.” We are looking at several questions designed to help us navigate big feelings, big situations, and big questions. We know that holding these big things lightly can make them less overwhelming and more approachable. Even better, new things become accessible and possible when we hold the challenging things lightly. Here are some observations as we continue our discussion of, “What should I do?” “Experiencing” the result of a plan (rather than just “executing” a plan) is an example of a new thing becoming accessible. “Should” can cast a shadow. That shadow is probably some form of discomfort that we don’t want to acknowledge. When discomfort is acknowledged—and the grip on the discomfort is lightened—then it’s easier to see what we know to do, what we’re ready to do, and what we want to do. We can be more comfortable with the discomfort of others when we don't make their discomfort about us. There's a lot of control wrapped up in “should.” Thank you for listening.

Welcome back as Juanita Molano Parra and I explore the next question in our series, “Riding the Waves.” In this series, we are looking at several questions as a way to navigate big feelings, big situations, and big questions. We’re considering how to hold these big things lightly so that they are less overwhelming and scary… and more approachable. New things become accessible and possible when we hold the challenging things lightly, and it’s those new possibilities we hope to reveal. In the first of this two-part discussion on “What Should I Do,” we zoom in on all the work being done by the word “should.” Here are just a few our observations: Where does “should” come from? What gets in the way of purposeful “shoulds”? In many cases, “what should I do” is not defining the next step in a plan. Instead, “should” is used as an avoidance tactic. “Should” can be rooted in perfectionism and control. “What should I do?” is very different from “this is what I am going to do.” What do I know to do? What am I ready to do? What do I want to do? And, how do those questions stack up next to: What do I know? What am I ready for? What do I want? Thank you for listening!

Juanita and I are excited to be back with the next episode in our miniseries, Riding the Waves . The logical first question, “where should I start,” has prompted a lot of discussion around finding confidence in the uncertainty of big feelings and big situations. Here are some of the topics we address:: Starting Messy: It’s okay if your beginning feels imperfect—give yourself permission to start anyway. Getting Stuck: Negative self-talk and the fear of how things might turn out can stop us before we take even the first step. Plans vs. Uncertainty: We often collapse “how is it going to go?” with “how is it going to turn out?” They’re not the same. Learn to separate them. Navigating with a Map or a Compass: Some people need a detailed plan or map, while others are comfortable just knowing which way is north. Art and Science of New Beginnings: Where do intuition and logic meet? Balancing creativity with practicality can help us step into the unknown with more confidence. Handling Misalignment: It’s normal for reality to differ from your vision or dream. What matters is learning from past experiences and trusting that you can handle whatever comes your way. The “Why” and “The Plan”: Understanding your “why” clarifies the right next step. Gaining clarity can help build self-esteem and self-awareness, even in uncertain times. Holding Plans Lightly: A light touch avoids rigid thinking and attachment to things you can’t control. This was such a fun conversation! Tune in next week as we continue to explore the paradox of holding on and letting go, and how to ride the emotional waves that come with new beginnings.

Hello! I’m excited to be back with the 16th season of the Don't Cut Your Own Bangs podcast! This season—all season—I am joined by Juanita Molano Parra, an experienced life and leadership coach. Together, we are going to examine ways to navigate big feelings, big situations, and big questions. More specifically, we’ll consider what becomes possible and available when we hold big ideas lightly. Our conversations will focus on looking for ways to make the harder, more challenging times in life feel more approachable, less confusing and scary. In each episode we’ll name a topic, explore why it is hard to deal with, and call out the things that get in the way of clarity. We’ll share real-life experiences, including many of our own. Instead of offering hard and fast solutions, we will discuss practices, habits, and ideas for you to explore. In other words, we won’t be making the emotional waves smaller, but we will provide ways for you to feel more confident stepping into the water and seeing where the ride takes you.

Please note: This episode includes a discussion of pregnancy and miscarriage. Our series on “The Right Kind of Hard” would not be complete without an examination of radical acceptance. It's probably the hardest to do, which makes it the rightest of the hardest to do. Ultimately, I think, the degree of difficulty makes radical acceptance most worthy of our energy and exploration. How does radical acceptance apply to everything that we've explored so far? Why is it hard? Why do we avoid it? What does it really mean? When we’re faced with a new reality that we don't like — a reality that hurts — we often try to negotiate with that reality. We focus on what was or what we think should have been, or we create a future that is not based in reality. Our other option is to recognize that our new reality is the right kind of hard. Only after we allow ourselves to sit with the discomfort can we accept it and perhaps even embrace it because only then can we see that we have choices. As always, thank you so much for listening. I hope you’ve found value in this series on “The Right Kind of Hard.” I'll be back with new episodes in July after taking a short break. In the meantime, give yourself a therapeutic experience: feed the birds, tell jokes, make bad art, be silly. Let yourself play. RESOURCES Listener’s Favorite (ep. 35): You Are Not Alone.
