Why Murder Mysteries Interest Us
Do you like listening to murder mysteries or true crime? If so, then you’d likely be interested in this episode. I often find myself listening to true crime, murder mysteries, and dark history stories. It’s not for my own entertainment, but for the simple reason of understanding WHY. What goes through the suspect’s mind prior to and during the heinous act? Our curiosity is a key reason why we frequently want to listen to or read about the suspect's motive, despite how we feel about them. In fact, the more awful the scenario, the more interested we are likely to be. Why is that??? Tune in to this week's episode to find out why!

Spring: the Season of Hope
Hope and spring are both linked in our bodies, minds, and souls. The biological and psychological processes that fuel connection, competence, survival, and spirituality get a boost in the spring through nature. Hope remains present in the heat of the summer, the gloom of the autumn, or the frigidness of the winter. However, no other season can compare to the abundance of hope that spring brings. Tune in to this week's episode where I dive into why spring is THE season of hope.

Is Uncertainty a Good Thing?
Uncertainty. We’ve all felt it. Maybe you feel it now. I have a few upcoming life-changing events coming up that I feel a bit uncertain about at times. It’s neither bad nor good. It’s a neutral feeling that we assign meaning to. There are many theories and studies on uncertainty and how it affects our psyche. Tune into this week's episode to hear some of those theories!

Guided Meditation: Mindfulness
We're switching things up this week and gifting you a guided meditation on mindfullness. When we’re facing uncertainty, it can trigger feelings of anxiety, fear, and stress. But regardless of how much time we spend worrying or strategizing, we can’t predict the future or control what happens. That’s where mindfulness comes in. It can help us reconnect to the present moment, interrupt the worries and worst case scenarios running through our minds, and become more comfortable with uncertainty.
