Ep.47 What to do when Resistance Crashes the Joy Party

Ep.47 What to do when Resistance Crashes the Joy Party

On this podcast episode, I talk about what it actually looks like to live a joyful, absurd, embodied life while still being a human with resistance, doubt, and a messy brain. I share stories from my own burnout, healing, travel, ADHD, spiritual practices, and daily rituals—plus the tools I use with clients to navigate shame, “it’s too late,” perfectionism, and people-pleasing. We explore joy as an experiment, how to listen to your body, lower the bar, and find access points that feel doable. Think practical magic: real feelings, real tools, lots of glitter, and zero pretending everything’s fine.

Ep. 46 Travel Habits, Routines, and Feeling like me on the Road

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what actually happens to my habits when I travel. Spoiler: I do not keep my strict Mississippi routine of 4:30 a.m. gym, 12-step, journaling, and early bedtime—and that’s okay. I walk you through my “Aj minimum requirements” instead: breakfast, meds, a little quiet brain-boot-up time, some kind of soul care, and feeling like myself in my body and my clothes. This is your gentle permission slip to loosen your grip, stay flexible, and ask, “What do I need today to show up fully as me while I’m traveling?” Come join us in Absurdist Delight: A Summer of Reckless Joy we have 4 spots left!!

Ep. 45 When You’re Not in the Mood for Joy: Sliding the scale and 5% effort

In this episode of Oh My Goodness, I’m inviting you into the messy middle of “I’m not in the mood for joy.” I walk you through my very real, very rainy Pride day—how I almost stayed home, what actually got me out the door, and why “doing the least” can still count as big joy. We’ll talk about joy resistance, all-or-nothing thinking, stretchy affirmations, and treating yourself like a tender little toddler instead of a drill sergeant. If you’re tired, overwhelmed, or feeling “meh,” this one’s your cozy permission slip to try just 5% more joy.  Come join us in Absurdist Delight: A Summer of Reckless Joy we have 4 spots left!!

Ep. 44 Becoming a Co-Conspirator of Your Life with Joy

In this episode I'm talking about Absurdist Delight, and the Absurdity of just living in this day and age and how coming at it from a conspiratorial lens can shift many a thing. We talk about types of joy, how to discover what brings you joy, the spicy thoughts that can get in the way, and how deciding to show up with the uncomfortable can be where so much magic is at.

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.
