94. The Roses Are Rosein' with Holly Totten
Teaching Yourself to Learn
When we think about the stages of a rose from seed, to bud formation, to swelling and anthesis, until it finally wilts. Through each stage of the lifecycle it can be a slow and steady journey that can test the patience of even the most advanced gardeners. Today I want to share with you a beautiful story inspired by my grandson Noah. Listen in as I reflect and think about: The third half of life is a new stage of opportunity and strength. Admiration and taking in all senses of an experience, through the lens of a child and finding surprise meaning. Change within different stages of life. ...

Currently, Beth is living a life she never dreamt possible through finding a passion for marketing (which was quietly alongside her much of her life) and choosing joy. Listen in as I chat with...

Even as a writer, there are times when I struggle to find the words to express how much certain moments in my life mean to me. All the way from my earliest childhood memories until now, there has been one particular person who has been there every step of the way, and that is my mom. Today we bring you a very special Mother’s Day episode with myself and my brother Pete Hale. My mom (Jerry) is inspirational to all those who know her, and this conversation is very near and dear to my heart. Words can hardly describe it; take a listen for yourself inside.

Teaching Yourself to Learn

info_outlineJoin Holly for this solo episode as she learns and recognises the importance of the spring and in particular the cleaning and cleansing process. This time of year, is one of migration, the weather is starting to get warmer, days longer as we open the windows to let the fresh air swirl. Listen as Holly reflects on what that means for her and thinks about:
· Nostalgia, smells and emotions that intermingle in her memory and have carried across generations.
· How it is not just the house we are cleaning, but also our own internal cleanse as well for preparation of the season to come.
· To die for pear salad and foods which evoke all sorts of spring memories.
· Being present, conscious and more as we repeat the same rhythms and patterns we have for several years.
So, as you also approach spring or whatever season this podcast episode finds you in, think about how you can clean your mind, heart, and actions as well.
This conversation is one of many which share stories within the walls of this Podcast and beyond. To apply to be a guest and find out more please connect with Holly at www.teachingyourselftolearn.com
