100% Guilt-Free Self-Care
Show notes: In this week’s podcast I am excited to share my thoughts on another book I recently read The Plan: Manage Your Time Like a Lazy Genius by Kendra Adachi. I am a huge fan of Kendra’s podcast, books and how she is able to break down problems into manageable pieces. I never miss an episode so when the opportunity to be part of her book launch came up, I jumped right in. Executive functioning skills are something that I have struggled with my whole life. I am so glad I have women to help me learn time and project management while acknowledging the realities of being a woman, a mom,...

EP 244: Fresh Starts in All of Life’s Transitions with Olivia Dreizen Howe
100% Guilt-Free Self-Care
Show notes: This week has been a lot. Sunday morning I found myself unexpectedly crying for three hours trying to figure out why I felt so overwhelmed even though everyone in my family was doing so much invisible work. Things I discovered included that I had extroverted way too hard, that all things on a to do list do not carry the same emotional weight and my hate of 90+ degree weather was still very much felt. Monday couldn’t come soon enough. Thankfully I was able to connect with a kindred spirit to talk all about fresh starts. I definitely needed one. I love a do over more...

EP 243: A Pep Talk for Fall 2024
100% Guilt-Free Self-Care
Show notes: I have been thinking a lot about where we were 6 months ago. I had barely been diagnosed with ADHD, we were still in limbo with a bunch of stuff with my kid, and all I wanted for my birthday was my best friend to still be alive so we celebrate our birthdays together like we did pre pandemic - eating our way through West Coast cities with our pal Jeannie and laughing all weekend. March is one of my big grief months and this one hit particularly hard. During that week I recorded a podcast called: . In that episode I talked about all things I want that can’t be bought at the mall:...

EP 241: Everything No One Tells You About Parenting a Disabled Child: Your Guide to the Essential Systems, Services, and Supports with author Kelley Coleman
100% Guilt-Free Self-Care
Show notes: Happy back to school aka new year! While I love the fresh start energy of a new school year, it also brings a deep feeling of anxiety. Will the teacher like my kid? Will the teacher be fair? Will the other kids include mine and be kind to her? The second day of kindergarten was the first time I got a behavior call from school and I have spent every beginning of the school year since educating teachers and administrators about disabilities and disability rights within the public school system. We have had to learn about special education laws and disability rights all while raising...

EP 240: 🙋🏻♀️Women Supporting Women in All Ways🙋🏻♀️
100% Guilt-Free Self-Care
Show notes: This summer has certainly changed the culture and climate around women supporting women. I am seeing so many first time volunteers knocking doors, phone banking, text banking, putting up yard signs and having conversations with people about the upcoming election. It is absolutely thrilling to see. I love having all this new energy around uplifting women candidates and also women in general. Women are coming out of hiding and using their voices. It is a thing of beauty. This evening I am going to a fundraiser in my neighborhood for . I am committed to electing Democratic...

EP 239: ⚡️⚡️Absolutely Electrifying⚡️⚡️
100% Guilt-Free Self-Care
Show notes: Have you been tuning in to the DNC this week? I am utterly stunned because we have never seen anything like this before. Politics is usually stuffy and boring. Not this year. The energy is absolutely electrifying! I am absolutely delighted with every speech. The roll call with a DJ and the playlist for every state? Perfection. Streaming the convention on YouTube and Tiktok equals no commentary to get in the way of the goodness. The Democrats inviting new media creators to cover the convention was absolutely brilliant because every day people are showing the convention from...

I have been thinking a lot about where we were 6 months ago. I had barely been diagnosed with ADHD, we were still in limbo with a bunch of stuff with my kid, and all I wanted for my birthday was my best friend to still be alive so we celebrate our birthdays together like we did pre pandemic - eating our way through West Coast cities with our pal Jeannie and laughing all weekend. March is one of my big grief months and this one hit particularly hard.
During that week I recorded a podcast called: My Birthday Wish for All of Us. In that episode I talked about all things I want that can’t be bought at the mall: quality and affordable child care, paid parental leave, hell just parental leave, universal preschool. Those little social safety nets, oh I really mean economic issues that are standard in other countries around the world. (Go listen - you’ll be shocked how much maternity leave you get in Bulgaria).
It was in that episode that I referred to participatory democracy as a group project. And people still laugh/ groan every time I say it.
Many of us are still outraged by group projects. Maybe it is because you were stuck in a group with people you didn’t like or didn’t share interests with. Maybe it is because you were stuck in a group with people who didn’t care about the outcome and they didn’t do their part of the assignment. Maybe it is because you were stuck in a group with people who didn’t even understand the assignment and made zero effort to get it together for the good of the group.
And you were stuck doing all the work.
And everyone got the same grade.
In this week’s episode I am sharing a Pep Talk for Fall 2024.
