S2 E4: Reviewing and reevaluating your goals
This episode is the last in the series for goal setting with compassion, but I will no doubt continue to talk about this. It is too important not to.
What do you do when you show up imperfectly, or "fail"? What does failure even mean? And how do both tie into reviewing and reevaluating your progress and/or your goals?

S2 E3: Linking habits and make it easy
Continuing our discussion about goals, we are talking about how to link habits together and make them as easy as possible to establish and grow. I am always trying to make things harder than they need to be, so I am constantly reminding myself to keep it simple and easy.

S2 E1: Tiny Habits
We are continuing our conversation about creating goals from a place of compassion and self-care. In this episode we talk about the tiny habits we can establish to work toward our goals. (I don't call them small changes because there is enough in the world keeping us small and this practice should not be one of them!)

S2 E1: Goals from Compassion
When I was writing about goals, I thought to myself: What if we created goals from a place of self-love and compassion instead of a place of self-improvement or a need to "fix" ourselves. I discuss the implications of the rhetoric of "new you" or a "better version of ourselves" in the context of self-acceptance and enough-ness - because we are enough right now.
Goals are important because they allow us to grow and challenge ourselves if we allow them to help us in that way.

07: Developing a Writing Habit
This topic is one of the reasons why my podcast is titled, Not a Writing Advice Podcast. I read so much advice out there that didn't work for me, but through trial and error I figured out something that did. I am not about giving advice. I just want to share what is working, or maybe not working for me and you can do what you want with that information.
Mentioned today:
06: Literature and Poetry are Art
I have an unpopular opinion among the literature world which I dive into in this episode of Not a Writing Advice Podcast. This episode is less about writing and more about appreciation, but I think it has some points you won't want to miss!
Mentioned in the episode:
05: Publishing and Marketing
Welcome to another episode of Not a Writing Advice Podcast! Thank you for being here!
Publishing and marketing has to be the two scariest things. I talk about this in the context of writing, but it certainly applies to entrepreneurs as well. And while publishing is scary, marketing it is next level frightening!

Why do I want a podcast?
For this very first episode of Not a Writing Advice Podcast, I am sharing why I decided to start a podcast and a little bit about what I hope this will be.
*I need to post a clarification on this episode: I said I am not in a position to give advice, but that is not entirely true. I am becoming an expert on my process of creating and what my creative life looks like, but I am not in a position to tell you how to do the same because your path will look different to mine. You are the expert of your path. I can only hope to provide information that might be helpful as you navigate your path.
