Welcome to the Optimistically salty podcast, where real life is happening. This is going to be awkward.
The pendulum swing
I am noticing a swing of the pendulum is heading my direction, and that leaves me questioning how far have I slide. Before hustle culture was all the craze, and now living slowly (my jam) is the ideal. Why does this work for me? Is it the answer to how to live life well, or just the swing of the pendulum? Also, I invite you to watch Hi Ren. 🙏

Art is therapeutic, not therapy
Oh how I wish there was one simple answer to life’s challenges. It seems that is just not the way of things. Reflecting back on the years and a few books that keep me coming back. Also, optimistically salty has hit 12 thousand listers?!?

The one about a snake
Maybe, just maybe, your weird side passion is taking you on a journey. And maybe, just maybe, you were created for joy. This is a brief conversation on my passion for animals, and seeing how my love for design, problem solving, animals and behavior meet.

FYOV, Forty Year Old Version.
I wasn’t really sure if I wanted to share, well anything personal, let alone my age. So this podcast is been gathering some dust. But so much of what is happening currently, shifted with this birthday. So, here’s to being lucky enough to be 40.

Creatively constipated
Writer’s block, bored, content? I have the desire to create, but there is a space of balance.

Life’s Fluffers
Gag, I have felt a little stalled out in life. As I am getting older, it feels like a waste to continue to avoid experiencing these things I have read so much about.

4 leg’d therapists
Equine therapy, actually feeling the difference between fight/flight and rest/digest, and then abandoning the practice of trying to drag and force life. There is something pretty awesome, when you can feel the boundaries of “yes and no” in my life.
