    #436 - How to Pivot Gracefully: A Guide for the Sick, Tired, and Overwhelmed
    Sep 22 2025
    What do we do when we’re hit with something out of our control within our own bodies, in the bodies of people we love and live with, or from the world itself? What do we do when we are forced to pivot away from what we planned because our energy or our attention can’t function the way they were when we made that plan? That’s what I want to consider today. Spoiler: I don’t have an answer, not a concrete, formulaic one anyway. But I do have some thoughts about when we have to gracefully pivot.

    #434 - 10 Ways I Feel Like Myself
    Sep 8 2025
    I get this question a lot, “How do you figure out what makes you feel like yourself? Is it even possible when you’re wearing all the hats and pulled in all the directions?” I’ve always said yes it is. You just have to find the things that make you feel like you. Well, when I started working on this episode and made my list of things, I found a level of nuance I’ve never really named before. Essentially, there are things that wake you up and other things that fill you up, and that difference might make a difference. Let’s get into it!
