73: The FINAL - our top reoccurring themes
Odd Reform: The Creativity Podcast
For the final episode of The Odd Reform Podcast we’re covering the concepts that we saw pop up over and over throughout most of the episodes. Addi and I first discuss the three negative themes that we need to avoid (auto-piloting, influence and pendulum swinging) and then jump into the the positive themes that we’d like o grow in (intentionally, community, discernment, and balance). We’ve had an absolute blast chatting about all these topics and we hope you’ve enjoyed them and gleamed from them as well. The podcast may be coming to an end but Odd Reform is...

72: "your truth" is bogus
Odd Reform: The Creativity Podcast
So if you haven’t heard by now, it has been three years since the start of the Odd Reform Podcast and after a ton of consideration and reflection, it's bittersweet to announce the podcast will be coming to an end. I’ve learned and grown so much, I hope you have too. But I’m also very excited for this new chapter. Odd reform is still very much alive and you can follow along and see what we’re up to on instagram @oddreform. We still have a topic for today (our second to last episode), which is all about absolute truth versus “your truth” and how “your truth” is extremely...

71: the seduction of convenience
Odd Reform: The Creativity Podcast
Today’s topic is one that has weaseled its way into every area of our lives and it can take over if we’re not careful. It’s the enticement of convenience. It’s so tempting and we all struggle with it even if we’re not aware. It makes life so easy, so much more efficient — but at what cost? That’s what Addi and I will be discussing today. We’ll look at tons of examples of where we can find it (a.k.a. pretty much everywhere) and it can be really overwhelming. Hence why we have spirals of thoughts because it’s embedded into every single thing we do. So prepare your self as we...

70: DON'T follow your heart
Odd Reform: The Creativity Podcast
Following your heart sounds like the sweetest cutest thing, but the heart is actually one of the most unreliable intuitions we have. It's today’s version of living your truth and really it's the pretty way of letting your emotions dictate your actions. In today’s episode Addi and I will break down even further what following your heart means, what can make it dangerous, what we should be doing instead and obviously not without a few tangents thrown in there.

69: New Year's resolutions: LOVE or HATE them?
Odd Reform: The Creativity Podcast
Are you a fan of New Year's resolutions? If your answer is “yes", “no" or “I don’t care”, then this episode is for you. Olivia and I go into this episode blind meaning neither of us knew how the other felt about the topic until we started recording! We have a blast chatting about what we don’t like about New Year's resolutions, why one of us loves them, why people fail at them and some tips on how people can actually have success with them. SNEAK PEAK: we found out we have opposite opinions on the topic — take a listen to find out who loves them and who...

68: there are NO neutrals
Odd Reform: The Creativity Podcast
It's officially our last podcast episode of the year (MERRY CHRISTMAS), so in light of that I wanted to chat about neutrals. And more specially why there’s no such thing as a neutral especially starting with our thoughts. Everything is either good or bad. And the better we can identify the good and the bad the easier time we have identifying and controlling what influences us. A neutral is just another way of saying “an influence”, because thats exactly what a neutral will do if we’re not careful. We classify neutralities as “harmless”, “no big deal” “comfortable” to...

67: the "love yourself" movement
Odd Reform: The Creativity Podcast
Todays episode is a little different. There’s no perfect solution or black and white formula. It's really more of a discussion on a very culturally prevalent value that none of us seem to question or even consider as an influence. We’ve normalized it so much that it permeates into the core of our identity. And that is this concept of "loving yourself". Where did it come from? Does it actually work? How does the concept tie in to your faith as a Christian? These are all questions Addi and I mull over in todays episode. Keep listening to hear more.

66: Can you be too helpful?
Odd Reform: The Creativity Podcast
As humans we tend to be very black and white with how we judge people. The bad vs the good. And we tend to be very cut and dry as to what that looks like. Mean people are bad, nice people are good. But I think its actually much more complicated than that. The nuances of intention and interpretation have so much to do with it and we’re gonna use some of that today as Addi and I discuss what we’ll call the "helpful person” and how they tend to be one of the more misunderstood types of people. if you are the helpful person — We’ll look at your strengths as well as what challenges you....

65: How to tell if you think you're more unique than you really are
Odd Reform: The Creativity Podcast
Everyone wants to be unique and stand out, especially nowadays where individualism is a fundamental principle for most of us. While every human is special and does bring their own twist to the world, We’ve started to lose the luster of relating and understanding others. We have so much in common with the people around us and its actually good for us to be aware of that. It unifies us and humbles us. So today I’ll be sharing the five signs to detect if we think we’re more unique than we really are. Primally Pure code: ODDREFORM https://bit.ly/2TSFsPM
