ep 015: be the wave // self-love

Hello and welcome to episode 015 of the be the wave podcast.  In this episode, I talk about self-love, which is a concept that has always been too abstract and overarching for me. I have always been told that I must love myself first and foremost above everything else - but what does that even mean? I give examples on ways I find small actionable steps to incorporate everyday to cultivate self-love.  // mentioned in the podcast today Sarah von Bargen's blog post [https://yesandyes.org/2016/05/how-to-figure-out-what-makes-you-happy.html] on happy lists  Gretchen Rubin's podcast episode [https://gretchenrubin.com/podcast-episode/podcast-134-ta-da-list] on ta-da lists // credits opening & ending song: Midday Dance Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) [https://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1100160]Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/  podcast cover art: created by bonnie ihn from canva [https://www.canva.com/]

ep 014: be the wave // self-expansion

Hello and welcome to episode 14 of the Be the Wave podcast! I am so glad you are here. In this episode, I talk about my theme keyword that I chose as my intention for year 2019 - self-expansion. I don't know whether this is a real word, but I define self-expansion as efforts to diversity your self-identity and really expanding your sense of self. This is something that I have been thinking about a lot but I was reminded by Gretchen Rubin's latest episode 218 of Happier [https://gretchenrubin.com/podcast-episode/218-invest-in-your-identities] to make this episode to talk more about it. Take a listen to see why I have set this intention, and what I have been doing to self-expand myself.  // credits opening & ending song: Midday Dance Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) [https://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1100160]Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/  podcast cover art: created by bonnie ihn from canva [https://www.canva.com/]

ep 012: be the wave // three good things

Hello and welcome to episode 012 of the be the wave podcast.  In this episode, I will be talking about a happiness or small joy tip to keep in touch with people who you don't see regularly. I call it the three good things text exchange. Every other week (or when I remember), I send what is called a three good things text to my friend.

ep 011: be the wave // the why behind the be the wave podcast

Hello and welcome to episode 011 of the be the wave podcast.  In this episode, I will be talking about the why and how this podcast came to be. I have never been one to predict that I would be making a podcast myself. This is a short episode about my hesitations about starting the podcast and how I ultimately overcame that reluctance. // credits opening & ending song: Midday Dance Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) [https://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1100160]Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/  podcast cover art: created by bonnie ihn from canva [https://www.canva.com/]
