We often talk about physical healing...going to a doctor if we are sick, getting an x-ray to make sure we didn’t break anything, getting vaccinated, so on and so forth, which isn’t a bad thing...but I feel discussions about therapy and working through trauma, while they certainly exist, pale in comparison to the fixation with our physical condition and/or physical appearances. This episode will discuss some of my thoughts about healing, the importance of working through things like psychological trauma, our state of mind (generally), and the challenges of healing from things one may not even share.

In today's episode, I wanted to share a personal experience I had with a leader I have known for years! These sorts of stories will focus on discussing the things that leaders do that make them great leaders, as well as discuss the things that not-so-great leaders are doing or have done. We can learn from the good examples that people are setting, as well as things we should actively try to avoid!

Where do we draw the lines between being kind, being really, really kind, and then enabling people? I thought this would be good for a short episode because really, a lot of it is going to depend on our own individual situations and circumstances! This episode, minus the closing statements, was completely unscripted (no rough draft notes or anything!) and it came out fine! Due to time constraints and stuff happening at home, I created this episode simply based on an idea I wanted to discuss, and I have lots of other ideas and the like I want to discuss on future episodes. When looking at kindness and enabling, it helps to look at patterns and the episode discusses things in more detail.

This episode discusses how hostility and attitude affect unity and altitude! As discussed in previous episodes, unity is important, but words alone, even if positive, aren’t always going to promote unity and growth for ourselves and for the communities we live in. The episode is on the shorter side, but deals with numerous encounters I have experienced in and outside of work settings, and the impact of a warm reception!

There is so much focus on what’s going wrong, that there needs to be more discussion about what’s going right with the world! In my quest to find some good news to talk about, searching Google, Facebook, Reddit, and other spaces, I stumbled upon some good news and feel-good content that I will discuss in this episode. Today’s episode discusses:

My discovery of GoodStuffHappenedToday at Tumblr.com!

One of the most stressful aspects of time management, for a lot of people, is that there is a hyper-fixation on getting the most out of every minute of every hour. We are taking time to figure out how to optimize our use of time, rather than taking time to figure out how to IMPROVE how we are currently using our time. The distinction is that by getting better use of your time, rather than trying to squeeze every bit of use of time that you can, one can do more within a day or a week, without constantly being on edge about meeting deadlines that are too strict or unrealistic.

The tricky thing about time management is that you want to gain a better understanding of how to use your time better, while not obsessing over every little thing, as well as learning what you truly need to be using your time for, depending on the circumstances. Join me as I have a discussion that takes you through time...sort of!

Motivation comes and goes. The ebb and flow of life basically guarantees that there is change and change has a huge impact on how we see things and how motivated we are in a given moment. There are times when we feel stuck...we feel like change will not come, especially when we are dealing with conditions that aren’t ideal. If you have a master’s degree, for example, but you are not working in your field or you are in the field, but you don’t like it as much as you thought you would, a common question is: ‘How do I adjust to this situation?’

Maybe you go into another field, or maybe you connect with people who can get you to where you need to be, but in the moment, figuring out WHY we feel the way we do can help us understand what we want out of life, as well as help us form plans to get to the next steps, as well as gain motivation along the way. This episode explores what we can do or consider when looking to find motivation!

While I used to do volunteer work during my free time through events listed on Eventbrite and the like, a curiosity for cosplay, based on things I’ve seen in gaming and online anime communities, lead me to go my first even convention experience! A chance encounter at Nekocon in 2019 helped give me the push to do more community service, discovering things like “Charity Miles” in 2020, and 757 Uplifters eventually being born in 2021! This episode explores how gaming and anime, like other things, can help bring people together!
