10 Things To Tell You

This episode is for you if there is something you want to get done before the end of the year.  Today's prompt came from the original 10 Things To Tell You social media challenge.  We all have something that we just keep procrastinating. Let's commit to completing this task between now and January 1. I'm sharing two of the things that I really want to sit down and finish (both on my To Do list for literally years) and a few ideas for things you might want to be held accountable to in the next three months.  Also in this episode I talk about my favorite planner. (And here's the blog post where I talk about how I chose this planner after a million minutes of internet research.) * Full show notes here @10ThingsToTellYou on Instagram @10ThingsToTellYou on Facebook Sign up here for episode emails     Learn more about your ad choices.

This episode is for you if you've ever experienced something that could have been worse.  Last September, our home was robbed while I sat in the backyard.

This episode is for you if you’ve had any recent revelations you want to share. If you’re a regular listener to this show, you are probably the type of person who is striving for growth, who aims to be self-aware, and who is paying attention. And if you’re paying attention, you’re learning. Always. So this week I'm sharing with you a few of my own personal recent revelations (some shallow, some deeper), and I am actively encouraging you to share your own. Not only privately or in your journal, this time I’m challenging you to share on social media. I want you to tell us a recent revelation you’ve had in your life. It’s an exercise in sharing of yourself AND I just want to see what people are thinking about these days. It helps me see the pulse of the listeners and create content for the show.

This episode is for you if you have a pet.  This is the last show I ever thought I would do, but I just have to hand it to my dog. I'm asking you to reflect on what your pet brings to your life (now or in the past).  I'm sharing about why we got a dog when I was so opposed to it, and the role he played in a recent scary event in our life.  This episode is short and sweet. Like Kona Rocket. (That's right, he has his own instagram.)   Brought to you by the 10 Things To Tell You facebook page!

You asked, I answered. This episode covers everything from favorite authors, skincare updates, self-doubt, the big thing that happened to me earlier this year, and whether or not I'm making money on this podcast.  I also include a little Q&A with my mom at the end of the episode. This was not a show I was planning on doing, but apparently I have a lot of words to give your questions. Thanks for hanging in there with the change in format in this completely unscripted episode.  Full show notes for this episode here.   @10ThingsToTellYou on Instagram   @10ThingsToTellYou on facebook Learn more about your ad choices.

My friend Bri McKoy is sharing the 10 essential kitchen tools that will inspire and motivate new habits for feeding my family.  We really just wanted to talk about cooking.

This episode is for anyone who has struggled with meeting a goal, or knowing what to prioritize.  We’re all measuring something, but are we using the right metric? Are we measuring time or result? Are we measuring our waist or our health? We can measure our social media or our water intake, but if we’re not setting ourselves up for success, then we’ll fail emotionally every time. In this episode, I’m musing over some measurements that caught me off guard, and how I’m shifting my perspective on some of the things I'm actively measuring. I’m asking you to give an honest assessment of the things in your life (big and small) that you’re measuring, and ask yourself if you’re using the right metric.

This episode is for you if you’ve ever struggled with anxiety or ever watched a loved one form coping mechanisms to handle their anxiety. I have more than 10 things to tell you about anxiety, but here is a place we can start the mental health conversation. In this episode, I'm sharing my lifelong anxiety starting in childhood, through the teenage and young adult years, after I had children, and into the present day.  I'm talking about what anxiety looks like for me, healthy and unhealthy coping mechanisms, and the things that have given me the most relief.  The goal of this type of episode is just to share a common human experience. I hope that it makes you check in with your own body, be honest about mental health struggles, and bring about some understanding of the anxiety that millions of people live with every day.  * Full show notes for this episode here.   Make sure and follow @10ThingsToTellYou on Instagram and facebook.   Sign up to receive episode emails here.   *   This episode was brought to you by

This episode is for you if you've ever felt stuck in your roles.  This episode and this concept is brought to you by an old boyfriend, who (I think?) made up this analogy and it contributed to the end of our relationship and also has stayed with me as a major life question and metaphor. * Full show notes for this episode here.   Follow @10ThingsToTellYou on Instagram and facebook.   Sign up to receive episode emails here.
