    Ep. 43 The “Don’t Be Too Much” Mental Battle

    This episode kicks off Season 2 of Oh My Goodness, and I’m catching you up on the wild, beautiful swirly whirlwind of the last two months. I share how Knutepunkt and Meant for Magic double‑stamped my work around joy, play, embodiment, and immersive experiences . I also talk about how much the don't take up too much space voice comes up and why my glitter, elf ears, and sobriety are all part of that story of what it means to be too much and also embracing it and not making it mean I'm actually too much. I walk you through the Absurdist Delight Summer of Reckless Joy, what it’s revealing about my own resistance, and how tiny choices (snacks, naps, sparkles, clothes) can shift our energy. At the core, I’m inviting you to choose your joy, your way today, and not let your Inner Critic who tells you it's too much get in your way. My 1:1 containers are currently sold out, but you can be on the waitlist for when spots open in August, just send me an email at TheJoyWeaver@gmail.com Absurdist Delight still has 6 spots left, come join us here!

    Ep. 42 Finding Joy in Chaos

    In this episode, I’m talking to the you who is tired, overwhelmed, and honestly not in the mood for “just choose joy.” We name the absurd reality we’re living in, and then I walk you through how to work with what’s true—like when it’s raining—rather than getting stuck in how it “should” be. You’ll hear stories, nervous system check-ins, and super accessible ways to invite in tiny pockets of joy, even from bed. We’ll explore imagining better scenarios, tending to your body, and letting community support you as you remember: you are worthy of delight, always.

    Ep. 41 Creating Rituals that Flourish in Larps, Retreats & Events

    I gave this talk at the Knutpunkt conference in Sweden, in a workshop on creating rituals that feel potent in games and events, but it's applicable across the board. I share more deeply about a few different facets of the rituals, and ideas and examples for you to be able to apply them to your life.

    Ep. 40 Sanctuary Days and Social Media Breaks

    In this episode of the Oh My Goodness podcast, I share the story behind my “sanctuary days”—two days a week where I step away from social media and most electronics to truly rest and reset. You’ll hear how burnout pushed me to create better boundaries, what it actually looks like to take time offline (imperfectly!), and why it matters for your nervous system, creativity, and relationships. I also talk about tools I use, like the Brick app, how I communicate these boundaries with clients and friends, and I invite you to imagine what your own version of sanctuary time could be.

    Ep. 39 Golden Headaches: What are they, and how I move through them

    This episode is a behind-the-scenes look at what it’s really like to have a sold-out coaching practice and a life that’s “more than full-time.” I share the golden headaches of success: navigating a packed calendar, honoring my body after past burnout and carpal tunnel, and restructuring my schedule with sanctuary days, sleep, movement, and spiritual practices. I'll give you permission to need more support as you grow, to set clearer boundaries, to let business and life be lighter and more resourced, and to regularly ask, “What would make this feel more spacious and nourishing for me?” Want to dive in more?

    Ep. 38 How Small Shifts Impact Your Life

    In this episode of the Oh My Goodness podcast, I open up about the “messy middle” of our goals and growth. I share honestly about running a sold-out coaching practice, joining a mastermind, and realizing I’m at capacity—and how that’s reshaping my goals. I invite you to reflect on your own halfway point: noticing nervous system capacity, to celebrate subtle but profound progress, and release shame-heavy “shoulds.” You’ll hear how my clients and I practice self-trust, aligned goal-setting, and joyful, sustainable growth. This episode offers gentle challenge, nervous-system-aware support, and lots of encouragement to honor how far you’ve truly come.Want to dive in more? Join Embodied in Joy my Free Facebook group!

    Ep. 37 How to Trust the Process

    This week's episode is about how it's all adding up and working even if you don't realize it. So often we think it's done, but we've only just begun, whether it's a business, workout plan, or something else. What does it look like to trust the process, and when do you pull data? Tune in for all my thoughts and encouragement when it feels like throwing spaghetti at the wall.

    Ep. 36 How I’m Navigating the Both/And Right Now

    In this vulnerable episode, I share thoughts about how I'm navigating the both/and of the world and why the work of joy, nervous system calibration, alignment with your Higher Power, and more is important within it all. I also dive into why it all just sucks so much right now, and feeling it all is just rough. I also talk about the war, f@csim, and other things and swear, so even if I'm against it and talking about how we use this work to move through it, if you don't want any chat about it, maybe skip this one for now, because I hear you, it is a lot.
