Opting Out with Cait Flanders

Until the Next Adventure

Sometimes you don't know you're nearing the end, until you arrive there. It feels like that's what happened for me on Friday. When I was driving to the river where I recorded this episode, I just... knew it was going to be the last one. This podcast helped me come back to myself, in so many ways. It helped me connect with you in new ways. And it also helped me connect with someone who has become one of the most important people in my life. I feel so grateful for it all. I don't want to say goodbye, because I have plans to podcast again (and share a little about that towards the end). I trust we are going to reconnect. Until then, please take good care of yourself, friend. And thank you. <3

Every Conversation is a First

This is a concept I've only gotten more comfortable with in the past year, thanks to this podcast + a few relationships in my life. Now, I'm applying it to something new—and sharing it with you. :)

A New Practice

It's been a beautiful two weeks. There is so much to be grateful for right now. And, in the midst of it all, I seem to have developed a new practice that is helping me be more honest with myself—and others. Also: If you're interested in joining our next 4-week guided journalling series (April 10-May 1), visit the registration page [https://www.caitflanders.com/explore-relationships] for more info!

Softening Into Joy

After a month filled with insecurity and anxiety, I've set one intention for March—to practice being present. I also share: thoughts on self-trust, a phrase I've been holding onto all year that is finally making some sense, and a snippet from a wonderful conversation I had with a friend this week. PS - If you want to check out my friend Anthony Ongaro's work [https://www.youtube.com/c/breakthetwitch], you can find him on YouTube. :)

What Do You Really Want?

A question I've asked myself in many areas of my life in the past, except for one—until now. Plus a new prompt for you, if you'd like to record and submit something for the end of a future episode!
