Hang with me Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for 7 to 11 minutes on the 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 moment of song.
Join me for a fun, provocative & entertaining look at ‘thought.’ Episodes are below and on your favorite podcast player.
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?
11. Routine Reimagined
We live in the construct of time. Is nodding to the constraints of time a good or bad thing for creativity and productivity? The answer isn't as black and white as we like to make it.
10. Life’s Musical Score
We experience life from the consciousness of thought and perception. Join me today for a fun realization about a few quirky perceptions that infuse my life with joy.
9. Freedom of Mind
Would you rather have 'freedom of mind' or the ability to control your state of mind? What if I told you they are one and the same? Holding thought loosely frees us mentally and emotionally.
8. No News Is Good News
As you've gleaned by now, I have strong opinions. Today, I discuss one of them while imploring you to try something that may make the rest of your 2022 fabulous! Just trust me.
7. River of Thought
I liken life to a river in most instances, and today is no exception. Join me as I wax poetic about a thing that consistently floods our minds—thought, and what I do to help loosen its grip.
6. My Birthday Reflection
I love my birthday, and I carry all the people who've made up my big, beautiful life into every birthday with me. Join me today as I reflect on, well—you.
5. Haunting Echoes
Some things aren't bound by time, space, or physical constraints. Today, I bear witness to one of those things. Join me for our first week's final episode about a moment that changed me forever.
4. Making Sense of It All
Story and the telling of stories have been the way we've made sense of our existence since the beginning of time. Join me today as I entertain our present-day reality by seeing it for what it is.
3. This Tiny Word Matters
Today, I am ranting about one of my biggest pet peeves. If this topic is cringe-worthy to you, keep listening. You might come away with a new perspective and appreciation of such a tiny word.
2. Thought Reimagined
What if we had a different relationship with thought—a relationship of perspective that allows us to decide if thought will cause suffering or joy? We do.
