Today’s show starts with a popular subject—astrology. Specifically I share my own self-care adventures with this work, and some key lessons I’ve learned when I read my essay, Why Astrology Is Part of My Self-Care. We’ve all heard the tired phrase “Everything happens for a reason.” But…what if it did? My guest in this show is something of an expert on why suffering of all kinds happens in our lives. And here’s here to often significant proof. Robert Schwartz is a hypnotist who along with medium colleagues helps us find our way to the ‘plan’ we made between lives. His books cover this phenomenon in detail. His newest book, Your Soul's Love, is about the pre-birth planning of challenges related to romantic relationships: Infidelity; impotence; raising children alone after the death of one's partner; being single; and celibate relationships. It’s fascinating stuff… and it can help us find all kinds of peace. May you find this work as powerful as I do!

Self-Care for Extremely Busy Women

Good News—There Is a Reason for Your Struggles

“This is the season she will make beautiful things, notperfect things, but honest things that speak to who sheis and who she is called to be.” — Morgan Harper Nichols This quote was discovered on the wonderful website of this show’s guest, Cynthia Hauk, a mindful art coach. Bet you didn’t even know you could create mandalas that would bring you inner calm… but you can. And Cynthia shows us how! But first—I have something to say in this show about when and how to say ‘No’ to your family members. Cause sometimes we all have to. Here are the key questions I closed this segment out with. Pull out a journal and have at it friend…. May they serve you well. Whom do you need to set limits with in your life? What would you like to request: When will you request it? Just what will you say? Moving on to my chat with Cynthia Hauk… I learned so much about WHY mindful art is such an enhancement to our slowing down, going with in and picking up the meditative vibe. And PS—this is especially for you if you believe  you can’t draw/create. You can, friend. We all can! (Who knew?) Among other things, I learned: What is mindful art? How is mindful art supportive for self-care?  How do you manage an inner critic—and why is she ‘useful’? Why is art so therapeutic? What is soul collage? Analog v Digital technologies for creating What is the 5-Minute Mandala challenge? I hope you enjoy this show… and it gets you slowing down to the speed of life.

The Magic of Mindful Mandala Art

I begin this episode with a favorite blog post, What If I Don’t Know What I Want?... cause that’s a problem sometimes. Honestly, the world is so intense, so busy. So fraught. And we are SO plugged in, who can hear herself think? If that resonates, I hope this show is a help. Pull out your journal, friend! In the main part of this show, I talk about the Self-Care of Spirituality. Why? Because having a belief in something larger, whether that’s intuition, spirit guides, a religious figure or the Universe.. or something else you define, is hugely helpful in putting away anxiety and worry. So ultimately this is a show about trust and acceptance—two key tenets of self-care that I learned after my daughter Teal’s death. In the show I share what I consider to be 8 basic truths about self-care and spirituality: There is more to the world than meets the eye You are not alone The Universe has your back  Everything happens for a reason When Things Don’t Go Your Way there’s probably a reason We are here to evolve and grow and LEARN LESSONS Difficult people are our teachers We sign up for this life ahead of time We progress from lifetime to lifetime We agree to these difficult people and situations and even agree with them before we’re born You DO have a purpose and a path Your intuition and inner knowing will guide you This is the path to the very best YOU  This is also the path to the greatest self-care You are far more powerful than you know You are given everything you need to progress as you will May this show move you to greater compassion for yourself and the world.

Why Having a Spiritual Belief is Great Self-Care

I’ve got a new puppy! And so I begin this show by sharing some really practical tips I’ve learned for how to get to sleep when insomnia dogs you (pun intended.) Because why do I have insomnia? Turns out a 7-week-old puppy really can’t make it through the night without waking everyone up a few times. But we’re almost through this phase! And on to our main segment… Long ago, I was in a verbally abusive relationship. As time dripped by, I became so used to being called names, being bullied and picked on, I came to expect it. And so I stayed far longer than I should. I finally woke up because I read the bestselling book by this show’s remarkable guest, Patricia Evans. She is the author of the landmark book, The Verbally Abusive Relationship. In talking to Patricia, I uncovered some real gems about how to know you’re in such a relationship, and what to do about it. Among other things, I learned: What ‘verbal abuse’ actually means How to respond What’s wrong with the verbal abuser that makes them act this way What is actually possible in such a relationship? Can they change? Or can you? Strategies for working with verbal abusers to build a more healthy dynamic I know this will strike a chord with some of you… and perhaps give others something to consider.

Today’s show begins with “Are Angels Really Around Us? It’s a recent blog in which I tell the story of some the angel encounters I’ve had. Don’t believe in angels? Yeah… I didn’t either until indescribable, impossible things started happening… Angese are 1000 watt joy, and they really are around this. May this help you tune in and get that angelic buzz. The other day I was walking around a bookstore and found a book that I couldn’t resist—it was all about self-care according to Astrology. The book, The Astrological Guide to Self-Care, was written by this week’s guest Constance Stellas. She’s been an astrologer for many years, and truly has the goods on just what each sign of the zodiac requires in self-care. And every one is different! Here’s what we talked about: What is the connection between astrology and self-care?

The Remarkable Link Between Astrology and Your Self-Care

It’s our 150th episode—and it’s time to celebrate the power of self-care to heal your life. Go Team Self-Care! THANK YOU for listening and give this show life! Who do you know who needs to know about our show? Please let them know about it by sharing this link: https://suzannefalter.com/xbwpodcast/ Sometimes it’s hard to imagine how you can peel yourself up off the couch at the end of the day, and shift things in life to allow for more self-care. But self-care is where the mojo is – and you must know that or you wouldn’t be here. This is where our self-esteem, creativity and personal power all come from. I begin this show by sharing a key section of the book that inspired this podcast, The Extremely Busy Woman’s Guide to Self-Care. It’s a chapter titled “Have You Forgotten Who You Are?” and it’s followed by these journaling questions just below. Sometimes journaling on questions like these breaks the logjam of our resistance to self-care. Cause in the end, friend, it’s all up to you. This is for you if there’s just no-way-no-how you can find time to, say, exercise. Or take a nap. Or get your nails done. Or go on vacation. My friend, it all boils down to willingness. Are you willing to take good care of you? That’s why we’re here today … so take a listen. Suzanne’s Journaling Prompts: What are some activities or places you adored when you were a little kid? Who did you hope you’d become when you grew up? What are three of your happiest memories? What have you been longing to do? Whom have you been longing to see? Where have you been longing to go? What are some things you still deeply enjoy? What’s missing in your life that needs to be retrieved? Hope this provides delight… thanks for being in my world.

Finding the Time for Self-Care in a Too Busy Life

This show is for everyone who feels like there aren’t enough hours in the day. The fact is there are—just as there have always been. But we can’t always see it. So this show is something of a call to sanity. Suzanne begins by recounting her own grim history with To Do lists in her essay ‘The Value of a Why Not List’. Then she goes on to share some deeper ideas about what this constant running after the clock may mean in our lives.  You’ll learn How to identify if you are a To Do List Bully What this might bean in your own life The surprising connection to ‘The Imposter Syndrome’ How to actually begin again with To Do lists in a healthy way How to work flow into your day instead RESOURCES Suzanne’s Essay ‘The Value of a Why Not List’ Valerie Young’s book The Secret Thoughts of Successful Women The Extremely Busy Woman’s Guide to Self-Care Paperback The Extremely Busy Woman’s Guide to Self-Care Audiobook MORE ABOUT SUZANNE Suzanne Falter is a writer, podcaster and essayist whose work has appeared in SELF, O, More, Fitness, New Woman and The New York Times, Tiny Buddha and Elephant Journal.

REPLAY: Suzanne on Are You a To Do List Bully?

Even though she was a successful TV commentator who ‘had it all’ Laura Behnke kept waiting for love… and didn’t find her first boyfriend until she was 35. They married when she was 38, and so she had a major realization. Many of us spend our lives waiting for things to happen. As a coach, she has helped many women how to take control of their lives. This became the basis of The Life Actually Company which she runs. While chatting with Laura I learned: Why she felt behind even with all of her success What took her so long to surrender to love How any of us can learn to love ourselves more The thinking that trips so many of us up from reaching our goals How we know we are lovable now Positive proof that you don’t need to be fixed RESOURCES 100 Free or Low Cost Ways to Practice Self-Care The Little Letting Go Reader The Life Actually Podcast Laura Behnke’s website Laura Behnke on Instagram MORE ABOUT LAURA Laura Behnke is a writer, speaker, coach, and the creator of The Life Actually Company™.

It’s the actually that holds all of the possibilities, once you choose to accept it. Laura lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her husband, Marc and their labradoodle, Oxford.

How to Love Yourself 101

I begin this show with an idea for anyone who is burdened by old resentments, memories of those who did you wrong, and just plain negative stories in your head. Sometimes those old wounds can be healed with forgiveness. Now, I’m not talking about spiritual bypass here, or simply ignoring what happened and going straight to ‘I forgive you’. Noooooooo! Instead, I’m suggesting an exercise that will quite naturally lead you back there if forgiveness is where you’re ready to go. May it help to lighten your load considerably. My guest on this show is the wonderful Jenny Fong of Modern Shibori in Berkeley, CA. I actually met Jenny at a craft’s fair in San Francisco one sunny Sunday this summer, and her clothing blew me away. Particularly because of her mission. For this isn’t any old clothing. Each piece is uniquely created using sustainable materials, and a design rooted in an ancient Japanese technique called Shibori. Here I am, wearing one of my shirts! Here are some of the things I learned in our talk: -What exactly is Shibori and why it’s so special What gives this clothing their special vibe or energy? Where the dyes come from and why it matters What is sustainable fashion? Where you can find Jenny’s clothing Where the garment industry is right now in sustainability What any of this has to do with self-care… and you! May this show give you pause for thought. Is it better to have a lot of clothing? Or a few cherished items that are beautifully made and have a wonderful feeling to them? I hope you enjoy….

Why What You Wear Says a Lot About You

When you’re down, self-care is more important than ever. That’s why, given all the world is going through right now, this show is about self-care in times of grief, loss and suffering. Cause let’s face it… there’s a lot of that around us. I begin by sharing a very targeted essay I wrote not long after my late daughter Teal’s death, called The Very Temporary Nature of Suffering. Because, yes, there will be suffering. But it’s not a permanent condition. Even when it feels like it! In this show, I also share ten critical parts of really taking deep loving care of yourself when you’re experiencing grief and loss. In it, I share some things I learned after Teal’s death.

Self-Care for Grief & Loss of Any Kind

I begin this show by talking about love, for what could be better self-care? I wrote a blog recently that I read here called How to (Possibly) Fall in Love With the Love of Your Life. Why only Possibly? Because love is uncertain and life has quirks to its path.  Our biggest responsibility is to pay attention to our hearts and grow just as we’ve intended. So it is that I share this little bouquet of romance with you. Enjoy! My guests on this show are a pair I’ve watched and listened to for some time now.

Hi and glad you made it to the self-care zone! I begin this episode with a blog I wrote about vacations—guess I was inspired after taking my own last week. The facts are clear. Avoiding vacations can shorten your life, making you vulnerable to heart attacks. I share some data that’s legitimately scary! My guest, Dr. Margaret Rutherford is an expert on something that plagued me for years… perfectionism. (Is every I dotted? It every T crossed?) Did you know there is something called destructive perfectionism? It’s what separates the mere perfectionists from those who actively take themselves down, to their own detriment. If this rings a bell, listen and learn. Here are some of the things we chatted about: How she got into studying destructive perfectionism What is perfectly hidden depression The backgrounds that create this condition Constructive perfectionism v destructive perfectionism When is being extremely busy destructive The ten traits of hidden depression The treatment strategy for perfectionism and hidden depression May this serve as you reminder that self-care is ALWAYS a great idea… and you can go easy on yourself, friend.

Are You a Destructive Perfectionist?

This episode begins with my ode to overcoming the blues… it’s one of my more popular posts, and I just had a feeling a few of you might need to hear it right now as we emerge from COVID. How to Talk Yourself Out of a Funk has practical suggestions, step by step, for turning that bleak mindset around when it happens. I focus in the main part by sharing some insights I’ve gotten on how to make lasting changes when it comes to unhealthy areas of our lives. For me, that showed up as a propensity for bullies, three of whom came along around the time of my daughter’s death. I learned how powerful taking action is when combined with two other keys—clarity and taking responsibility for your part. For no matter how victimized you may feel in an unhealthy relationship, you too may participate by allowing such behavior to go on in the first place.  This particular show is your reminder of the following: You are worth it You are whole and complete You are powerful You can trust your power You deserve the best!

Overcoming Unhealthy Habits So You Can Find Joy

I begin this episode with a blog I wrote a while back about one of the common pitfalls of meditation—trying to get it ‘right’. As usual, unneeded pressure is… unneeded. Isn’t life tough enough without trying to meditate perfectly? If you’re a meditation resistor, perhaps this will resonate. I had a lively conversation with the wonderful Coach Kir, a binge eating expert. If you’re wondering what’s going on when you just have to scarf that entire bag of chips, take a listen. There are subtle—but conquerable—forces at play. Among other things, I learned: The clinical definition of binge eating and why it matters Binge eating v. overeating What the telltale signs of binge eating are The emotional foundation of binging How to turn these mindsets around Best ways to get support to change your behaviors with binge eating The danger of diets and restrictive eating for bingers Good limitations that support an end to binge eating May this podcast resonate!

After stopping binge eating, she has made it her mission to help as many people as she can to also stop and feel free, confident, and in control.

What Happens for Binge Eaters and How to Stop

We begin this episode with an essay I wrote about a mindset that afflicts of us all from time to time—scarcity. Whether it’s time or money, you’ve probably been there. I share the discoveries I learned after reading an excellent book (linked below) about it. My guest, Shann Vander Leek, co-host of the popular Anxiety Slayer podcast, has a lot to say about anxiety. Specifically, how it weaves its way in to our psyches and refuses to let go until it’s damn good and ready. Among other things, we explored in our chat whether anxiety could actually be contagious? And why SO MANY PEOPLE are more anxious than ever in the US. (Hello Pandemic!) Among other things, I learned: How screen time and COVID have brought us here What happens we get on our screens The link between anxiety and sensitive people Grounding activities for remembering who you are Grounding activities you can even do in a business meeting How our harshness affects us Meditation and its impact on anxiety Breathing exercises to bring you back down Shann’s a wonder and this is a very rich episode.
