Self-RegardReflections 7: Finding a Place for Your Creative SelfIn the first episode of this series, I discussed the importance of solitude. This episode represents a key ingredient to getting the most out of time spent alone: creativity. And yet, as we pursue our creative passions–whether personally or professionally–it's important to avoid getting consumed by them and losing ourselves in the process. I share my personal journey of using storytelling to drive social change and how I found a home within myself through creativity. Despite doubts about the industry being saturated and lacking uniqueness, we all possess unique intricacies that can be expressed through art. Through self-regard and...

Self-RegardReflections 5: The Paradox of Labels: Empowerment or Limitation?This episode explores the power and pitfalls of labels in defining our identity. While labels can help us understand ourselves and connect with others, they can also reinforce biases and perpetuate harmful stereotypes. It's important to use labels as a starting point for self-exploration and personal growth, recognizing that our identities are fluid and constantly evolving. Labels are a powerful tool for personal and societal growth, allowing us to find a sense of belonging while also challenging systemic injustices. By expanding our understanding of different labels and identities, we can create a more inclusive and empathetic...

Self-RegardReflections 4: Identity in Physical FormThe complexities of body image and identity run deep. I have always had a pull towards body neutrality; focusing on celebrating and appreciating my body for what it can do, apart from its appearance. This is a tricky practice. It's hard not to care about the way my body looks. I'm not sure I ever won't. But the language I attach to thinking about my body has proven to be incredibly important. It starts with observation, acceptance, and compassion for every part of Self.Resources: Claire Siegel of Flourish, No Bad Parts by Richard Schwartz and When...

Self-RegardReflections 3: Intentional Love; The Intersection of Connection and IndividualityWelcome to Part 2 of Reflections. In this episode, I expand on the definition of love as an active word; a verb that isn't solely about attraction or compatibility, but moreover: effort, intention, and understanding. While this episode is relevant to all relationships – friendships, familial ties, romantic flames, and platonic connections – I largely use my 13 year long relationship as my lens. One of the biggest lessons I've learned is that there has to be a balance between individualism and connection, an element of reciprocity and mutual appreciation, and giving and receiving graciously.A few key takeaways:Life's chal...

It felt relevant to share this grief because the loss of George – the loss of a relationship – has challenged my home life and compelled me to wonder who I am without him following me into every room.

We also dive deep on therapeutic methods, processing trauma, her commitment to ally ship and so much wisdom in between.

Self-RegardFinding Peace in the MelancholicMelancholy is a kind of longing, a bittersweet sensation swept up in sadness, beauty, and an obscure cluster of sensations. We don't necessarily welcome it and thus it arrives uninvited. But there is something so seductive about the sensation of melancholy. And there is much to gain. Melancholy creates room for us to simmer, explore, and self reflect. Because it emerges from nowhere, melancholy has the power to strip away any semblance of expectation. I find a lot of discovery in interconnectedness, a nondual state of being, and a deep relationship to nature. While you will hear my own anecdotes...

A few key things to keep in mind: Hypomania is a period of over-active and excited behavior that can have a significant impact on your day-to-day life. It is extended and involves at least three core symptoms. Hypomania is not to be confused with mania–it manifests with unusual gaiety, excitement, flamboyance, or irritation, along with other characteristics such as inflated self-esteem, extreme talkativeness, increased distractibility, reduced need for sleep, and having racing thoughts–as it does not invo...

All feelings are like waves, they must go up in order to come down, but the ride can certainly be smoother. I reference an amazing book I'm reading right now called No Bad Parts by Richard Schwartz.

You heard that right: no emotion we feel lasts longer than a minute and a half if we let it run its course without interference.

What prolongs them isn’t emotional wiring gone awry but the stories we lay on top of them that keep our brains dumping more...
