Are You Ready to Get Unstuck?

Figuring out what is causing this “stuck” and “unmotivated” feeling is a process. Not everyone is ready. But if you are SO OVER this feeling, then you might be ready. ⁠ The first step to a better life? It’s quite simple (in theory). ⁠ It starts with a DEEP DESIRE to kill the Nonsense… and […]

And That’s a Wrap

And that’s a wrap! The #audiobook of “The Year of No Nonsense” is D-O-N-E. Well, at least MY part. #CallingPostProduction ⁠ ⁠ So, what did I learn?⁠ ⁠ Well, first that WORDS are hard. (#HardIsBS)⁠ ⁠ Words that are *really hard to say:⁠ – reward⁠ – preparatory⁠ – texts⁠ – worth⁠ – Nonsense (that’s a […]

Tentacles of Nonsense

Suffering hurts. Duh. If you are hurting right now, you might not be able to figure out HOW to stop hurting. But surprisingly, when you figure out what NONSENSE you have in your life… you then have a simple and effective starting point to working through the pain. WARNING: Wresting the Nonsense octopus is not […]

Personal Brand

The image that we show the world is indeed our “personal brand.” Creating, maintaining and manicuring that image? Sometimes is a great source of suffering, time-waste… and you guessed it–NONSENSE. Learning to navigate the waters of who we really are, what we really want, and where all “the Other People” fall into this? That is […]

Health and Pants

These PJ pants are from the Beach 2 Battleship 140.6 race I finished in 2014. I have mixed emotions around these pants. (As if having mixed emotions around pants is normal behavior.)⁠ First, because it’s still my “fastest” race. I finished right under 15 hours. Yay, me.⁠ ⁠ But it’s also the absolutely unhealthiest, worst […]

Names and Numbers

What NAMES and NUMBERS are you allowing to run your life? Nicknames: Fatty. Ugly. Dumbass. Weak. Slow. Bad mom. Shitty girlfriend. Numbers: The money I make. The amount I weigh. The speed I run.

Finding Your Voice

When I was young, I felt like I didn’t have a voice. Like I needed to absorb my true feelings (or absorb and fix the feelings of other people). I had to make everyone proud, live up to the “perfect” expectations. I must do what was expected, and anything else was intolerable, impossible or punishable. […]
