Episode 5: A Collective Narrative

Episode 6: A Mini Update & Thoughts on Productivity & Worth

Hey... I'm back!  On this episode I share a mini update and some thoughts on the correlation between productivity and worth...and yes these thoughts got stirred up as I worked to pinpoint how and when I wanted to jump back into recording episodes. Thank you- to those of you that have asked for new content, it is coming! Also this episode is a little informal, I had the dogs joining in and therefore you might be able to pick up on their sounds in the audio. Enjoy their contribution, as they work very hard over here at the Narrative Journey Podcast.

Episode 5: A Collective Narrative

Have you ever asked yourself or wondered: Am I seen, heard, understood? On this episode, I discuss the collective narrative that we all have in common; am I lovable? Today is May 1st, which means it is Mental Health Awareness Month. below I have linked some resources if you want to get in on the discussion and help bring awareness to mental health as a whole.  NAMI:  https://www.nami.org/Get-Involved/Awareness-Events/Mental-Health-Awareness-Month TWLOHA:  https://twloha.com/get-involved/ LIFELINE:  https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/participate/ Remember, mental health advocacy can start with you. With you, recognizing your worth and being a reflection or safe place for another.

Episode 4: Grief & Growth

Grief and loss are heavy experiences to process at any point in life. However, having these experiences at a young age can impact the rate at which one matures while also impacting an understanding of loss and the world at large. Join me as I talk with my guest Winter, about her personal narratives with grief, growth and parenting. Special Note: Without realizing it during our planning, this episode was set to be published on the week of Michael's (Winter's father) birthday. Interestingly enough, I had some tricky issues with audio which were not resolved as quickly as I had planned. At that point I though it was only fitting to wait to officially publish this episode on 2/03/21. Happy Birthday Michael, I am so grateful for the daughter you brought into this world.

Episode 3: Heart Expansion & Forgiveness

How far have you let your heart expand for others? Could it expand a little more?  What’s your understanding of forgiveness and have you ever been pressured to forgive in order to "move on" or "let go"? Can your perception of forgiveness oscillate as you grow and learn more about yourself? Join me as I discuss my recent experience with my own heart expansion and understanding of the concept of forgiveness.

Episode 1: A Personal Narrative on Perfectionism

Through multiple editing phases, some editing mishaps and the sigh of relief that comes from accepting imperfections, episode one is finally here! Leading up to publishing the trailer, I had a different vision and recording for episode one. However, the night I hit publish, I gained some insight surrounding my feelings of excitement and apprehension. Did I become aware of my tendency for perfectionism? Join me for a personal narrative on some of my experiences with perfectionism and procrastination.
