A Little Solution Ep. 2: Are You on the List?

Welcome to 'A Little Solution,' our new segment on the Discover Solutions, Feel Better podcast where I share a quick story or contemplation, all geared to helping you discover solutions and to feel better. In today’s show, we re-learn to prioritize our well-being genuinely, not as a mere checklist item. The media bombards us with self-care advice, which makes it easy to turn this practice into another stressful task on our endless to-do lists. This episode was inspired by the realization that I fell into a tendency to make no space for my own needs. One simple act became a profound step in actually creating the space I needed to get back to what self-care truly means.Remember, self-care is a journey, not a destination, and it starts with simple steps that support our own worth and needs.Be sure to subscribe for more insights to the little things that make a big difference in our lives.Until next time, be well, be you, and breathe :)

A Little Solution: To Freeze or Not to Freeze

Welcome to the debut of A Little Solution, a new segment of the Discover Solutions, Feel Better podcast dedicated to providing quick, impactful advice for navigating life's challenges. Drawing inspiration from Gretchen Rubin's 'A Little Happier' podcast segment, each episode of this series will offer bite-sized insights and solutions to help you thrive in your everyday life.In today’s episode, I share a story about a friend facing a dilemma while walking with a colleague who had mobility issues. Picture this: he’s traipsing through the icy tundra of Minnesota with a colleague who's moving at a snail's pace due to a bum hip. My friend is torn between chivalry and frostbite, wondering if he should sprint ahead or stay frosty. Tough call, right? But here's the twist: instead of sweating the gender norms or playing the hero, I offer a simple solution—let your values be your compass. Who says kindness has a speed limit or a gender? So, I gently suggested to my friend, "Hey, why not let your heart lead the way?" And you know what? It's like a light bulb moment! So, next time you're caught in a chilly conundrum, remember: it's not about racing to the finish line; it's about staying true to what matters most, even if it means taking a slower stroll through the snow.Be sure to subscribe for more insights into the little things that make a big difference in our lives :)Until next time, be well, be you, and breathe :)
