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.
72. Imagine=Image In
Today, join me as I discuss one of the best, if not only, way for us to move forward and live the life we want to live—regardless of who is in office.
71. We the People
RE-RECORDED on Monday afternoon: I am just chiming in with a reminder for all of us—no matter how today goes in the presidential election.
70. Nervous System Alert
Today, I offer a gentle but imperative reminder to take care of oneself. It's time for a bath, a massage and some good wine (or non-alcoholic spirits).
69. Quads-a-Burnin’
Anyone ever taken an F45 class or run the descent route of the Pikes Peak marathon course? Today, let's conspire on the craziness of both these decisions of insanity.
68. Signs Signs Everywhere Signs
And I'm not even talking about campaign signs! Signs. Rules. They are only relevant and respectful in your own home. Join me to see what I mean.
67. That Gnawingly Long Run
Today, I read you something I wrote for Runner's World back in the day. They didn't pick it up, but because this story perpetually precedes me, I feel compelled to share it with you.
66. Wishful Thinking
Today, I discuss the heights and pitfalls of 'wishful thinking.' There might be an 80s earworm built into this episode. You've been warned.
65. Homesick
Despite the fact that I am the only child who moved away from home, I was THE MOST homesick little girl. Today, I discuss this in honor of loving our people.
64. Fear of the Dark
Today, I make a bold statement that might make some listeners uncomfortable and may make other listeners feel seen. Happy Friday!
63. Alligator Lizards In the Air
Today's show is both a nostalgic stroll back in time and a reminder that we all see life from varying perspectives.
62. Volcanic Rock Ledge
Today is a brief nod to the fact that words can conjure vivid imagery—use them wisely.
61. More Than Meets the Eye
Ugh, today's thought is rough to revisit, but it gives me perspective on something worth sharing with you.
60. Feeling Your Way
How do you navigate your day, the course of action you'll take, or the decision of what comes next? Today, I share my thoughts about using (or not using) feelings as a beacon for productivity.
59. Let’s Talk
Join me as I remind myself and my listeners about what may just get us through this challenging political landscape of the forthcoming election.
58. Buyer’s Rejoice (not Remorse)
Today, I share a story that reminds us to trust our gut. That's all I'll say. Just listen.
57. Be the Light
Today, my fleeting thought reminds us to be the positive light in the darkness during these harsh times (even though I make a case for the darkness being a relevant part of our experience). Only LOVE will save this place.
56. Digging Ditches
Most tasks or efforts require a perspective shift to make the mundane meaningful or fulfilling. Join me for this brief episode focusing on making anything (except for cleaning toilets) fun.
55. “I Coulda Been Somebody”
Today, I do a horrible impersonation of Marlon Brando while hoping what I share helps us all to see something new and essential.
54. Nailbiter
Today, join me as I share an anxiety-ridden thought process that reminded me about how tricky futuristic thoughts can be.
53. All We Need Is Inside
We can all use this reminder today. As we watch political debates and witness the insanity of Mother Nature's fury, we can all use a nod to a universal reality that can make all the difference.
