Okay so my partner and I got a mild dose of covid. I don't have ANYTHING to say about covid. But I do give you the Rudo lens on seeing my frazzled and frayed nervous system in need of healing. I had a week to do nothing but rest and I didn't allow myself to DO ANYTHING and my goodness was it good. Unfortunately it also means I am low on interview material so I needed another solo episode to tide me over before my next recorded conversation. So I felt REALLY called to record a slice of what brings me deep peace, joy, and what I think are important aspects to speak to about overload. I needed to keep it concise, so I just focused on a few important topics...intentional purchasing/investing, symbolic rituals, patience and slowing down, and of course the physical body.
Big time thanks to some inspiring people I felt the urge to mention in this episode. To dive deeper here they are in order of appearance:
