    Memories That Stick.

    Today's episode is about a memory, really more of a thought, that just sticks in my brain. I couldn't even tell you what I had for dinner last night and, yet, this image from three years ago just sticks around. It's a little heartbreaking but it's a good reminder for me, too.   Thanks so much for listening!

    And Now It's My Turn!

    Believe it or not, your fearless leader/podcast host (me) had never actually attended a retreat for herself until now. Well… that’s partially untrue. But still, I did it! I finally went on a retreat, and I’m still thinking about everything that came up. So today, let’s chat about it.   Thanks so much for listening!

    Stop Predicting the Future!

    Yes, I know we all do it -- we like to try and predict the future. I am definitely guilty of it. Today I share a recent story where I could not have predicted the outcome. A good lesson for me to stop trying. Be surprised. It's way more fun!   Thanks so much for listening!

    The Backstory!

    Today’s episode is a little backstory on how I started leading retreats in the first place. I’ve always found origin stories fascinating -- the unexpected ways things come to be.   Spoiler: I never intended to lead retreats. Honestly, they sounded like a lot of work. But apparently, even the most reluctant among us can be convinced.   Thanks so much for listening!

    To Witness Unraveling.

    For full disclosure, I do begin today’s episode with some bowling talk. I mean, we can’t go too long without talking about bowling! But the primary focus is what happens when we unravel. We all do it — reach a point where we just can’t handle it all anymore. It might be brief, but it happens. There’s really no avoiding it because, sorry to tell you, you’re human. Me too.   Thanks so much for listening!

    The Prom!

    Yes! Ben went to the prom. Let’s talk about the prom -- I know for some people it can be this big, magical event: a defining moment, a before-and-after experience. For me, it wasn’t. I don’t think it was for Ben either. Because for me, at least, it’s always the small moments I remember far more than the highlight reel.   Thanks so much for listening!
