I have too many notebooks!

In this episode of The Tangent, I’m getting real about the systems and strategies I’m using (and still figuring out) to be more productive and happier in 2025. Productivity isn’t just about doing more - it’s about doing what matters in a way that feels good. I share what’s working for me, what I’m still tweaking, and how we can build habits that support both our goals and our well-being. No perfect formulas here, just an honest look at how we can set ourselves up for a year of focus, fulfillment, and maybe even a little fun.  Let’s do the thing!

What happened when I got bladder botox (ft. casual ableism)

"not one of the thousands of questions was asking what my disability is" Advocacy doesn't look the same every time you do it. Being an advocate for myself in hospitals or medical settings is one of the most difficult for me. In this episode, I wanted to share just talk about my first experience with bladder Botox, but it evolved into a storytime of my hospital experience from start to finish. Lessons learned, ableism endured, trauma shared.  Let's do the thing! Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2290872/support]

Cape Town Marathon was chaotic for us

"Your body can rally for you, if you solve the right problem." I love running so much. If you ask a thousand marathon runners what their favourite thing about doing these races is, you'd probably find a thousand answers, but there are so many common threads that bring us together as we overcome challenges through these events. There are also so many things that can (and do) go wrong, and that's where some of the best stories come from! In this episode, we go through our 2024 Cape Town Marathon, as an adaptive duo team. Let me just say, there were a few crises to manage... So, let's do the thing! Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2290872/support]
