Start your day with me every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for 5 to 15 minutes.
MIND CHALK Podcast
Thoughts are fleeting—thank goodness. But what about those profound thoughts that transiently float in and out of our minds throughout the day? This show is about some of mine, presented to you full of imagination and extrapolation, and sometimes expressed in anapestic tetrameter or a random song verse.
Join me for a fun, provocative & entertaining look at ‘thought.’ Episodes are below and on your favorite podcast players.
31. Be Still, Not Sit Still
Settling the mind doesn't necessarily mean you have to be in inaction. Being still can and does occur in motion. Listen today as I make this distinction; Patrick Mahomes being my example.
30. Expectation
Today, in a nod to the new beginnings of the new year, I discuss the power of expecting what you desire. No goal or dream is impossible if you can live in the expectation of it.
29. Friday Fleeting Feast
Some days I have random thoughts firing, and nothing incredibly profound or meaningful really taking up space in my brain. This is one of those days.
28. Heaven
Belinda Carlisle might have had it right. Those of us still living have yet to determine what heaven is and if it even exists. Today, I nod to my version of “heaven.”
27. Home Sweet Home
Home is an essential part of our existence, be it the one we grew up in or the one we live in now. Home is also a mindset. I talk about this today. Welcome home.
26. My Morning Fairy
What if we could see those different from us the way I see my early morning "fairy girl" who graces my walks with her barefoot stoicism? We would live in a different (and kinder) world, that's for sure.
25. What If?
I recently read something that parallels a sacred text while discluding a pronoun that makes the text and everything built around it seemingly problematic. I attempted to sing a portion of this episode to no avail.
24. Trail of Breadcrumbs
Today, I discuss the effects of the paths we forge throughout our lives by using a personal anecdote about looking beyond the surface in hopes of helping one another make our way out of the woods.
23. Frequency. Vibration.
What if our life fulfillment depended on tapping into the energy that backs us all by simply raising our frequency to match that from which we were created?
22. Passion is Purpose
We all recognize what lights us up inside, yet many prefer to keep their passion at bay. How would our lives be different if we put our conditioning on the backburner instead of being fully alive?
21. Doze of Champions
We live in a world of over-stimulation and stressors at every turn. I was taught a seemingly Jedi-like mind trick years ago that offers me a fresh take on the day if I'm willing to fit it into the chaos (or the calm).
20. Errant Translations
What if one misrepresented word changed the course of our entire culture? What if mistranslation paved the way to unthinkable injustice? Today I discuss the danger of hard-lining Thought.
19. Go Where You Are Led
Life is made up of common and inspired moments. Today I discuss how the thought that creates either the ordinary or the inspired comes from the same place—yet thoughts have different resonances of inspiration.
18. Nope
Decisions and beliefs are, in their simplest form, thoughts. We often hang onto these thoughts with a tight grip. Today I suggest seeing them differently while using an Adlerian psychology reference that clarifies it.
17. Runnin’ Up That Hill
Sometimes life's metaphors can be simple (even when they require great effort). Join me today as I talk about one of the greatest advantages I learned from ‘runnin' up that hill.’
16. Location Convenience
I realize how drawn I am to things that are 'close by.' I’m starting to wonder if it's making my world small. Join me today for a post-holiday ‘fleeting thought’ about how we use distance to keep us in a box.
15. Um…
What are you doing here?
14. Gratitude Day
Thanksgiving means something different to everyone. Join me today as I celebrate this day with the words of a poet who invites us to reflect on the privilege of being fully alive.
13. Aptitude Reboot
The perception of what we lack is only thought. Join me today as I confess something I've long judged about myself and how I'm finding my way to freedom.
12. Take Your Bow
Each of us expresses, creates, and gives our 100% for different reasons in our respective lives. What would our lives and the world be like if we could live from that full expression at all times?
