Podcasts I’ve been listening to, Part IX.
I can’t believe it’s come to a “Part 9” of my podcast recommendations – but here we are. Dream big, folks! It’s been an entire year since I posted about podcasts and that’s simply because I haven’t been devouring them quite like I used to. Since then, I’ve gotten my own office, with a door, […]
MorePodcasts I’ve been listening to, Part VIII.
Ta da! It’s the 8th roundup of podcasts I’ve been listening to – I mean could you ask for more riveting content than this? I think not. Truthfully, I assumed that once I had my own office, I wouldn’t listen to podcasts very much, but it turns out that I really just like being able […]
MoreMinimalism: is less more?
The word “minimalism” has been around for a long time – at least since the 70s, when it was used to describe visual art and music coming out of post-World War II, as it was pieces pared down to the bare bones. I’m honestly not sure when we started using it to describe a similar, […]
MorePodcasts I’ve been listening to, Part VII.
For Christmas, I asked for an actual pair of headphones, as those awful earbuds were really starting to hurt my ears since I was listening to podcasts 8 hours a day! I got my headphones, and even though I have my own office at my new job, listening to podcasts has become a little bit […]
MoreAre we… (gulp)… ‘Millennials’?
Man, Millennials get ssuuuuch a bad rap, but really, why? Several month’s ago, I started listening to the podcast “Millennial“, and I found myself really being able to relate to the concepts being talked about. Although I’ve never identified myself as a Millennial, I started to wonder, wait… am I one? Oddly enough, there’s no […]
MoreHow to make the most of it.
A big part of this blog is me figuring out how to make the most of any situation. People say it all the time, “When life hands you lemons, make lemonade!” But no one ever talks about HOW we’re supposed to make the most of it. So, I’ve taken a look at some typical situations […]
MorePodcasts I’ve been listening to, Part VI.
Let’s be real – I never thought I’d be writing a 6th installment of the podcasts I’ve been listening to. However, I listen to podcasts all day, every week day. Sometimes, I listen to a podcast so much I make it through all of the archives and have to wait until there’s new episodes! Other […]
MorePodcast: Happier With Gretchen Rubin.
I’ve still been listening to podcasts like they’re going out of style, and I’ll have another roundup of my latest favorites for you in the next few weeks. But today I wanted to focus on one in particular, “Happier” with Gretchen Rubin. So far, I’m about 2o episodes in and I couldn’t help but take […]
MoreThe ‘As If’ principle.
Several months ago, I heard this little tidbit on a podcast about the “As If” principle. The As If Principle started with philosopher William James and his theory on actions vs. feelings. James believed that instead of our actions resulting in feelings, our feelings resulted in actions. This lead him to his conclusion: if you […]
MoreWhat does it mean to be a professional?
I mentioned last week that I was a wee bit obsessed with the podcast “Millennial”, hosted by Megan Tan. “Millennial” is a podcast that discusses what most people don’t – how to maneuver your twenties. Listeners follow Tan as she graduates from college, searches for jobs, waits tables in the meantime, buys a car, moves […]
MorePodcasts I’ve been listening to, Part V.
It should come as no surprise that I’m still obsessively listening to podcasts, particularly during my 9-5 M-F gig. This last month, I’ve really been crazy about some of these – thinking about them even after the podcast is over. It’s a little insane, but I just love hearing all of these stories. Here’s what […]
MorePodcasts I’ve been listening to, Part IV.
Happy Friday! It should come as no shock that I’m still deep in podcast land; listening to as many episodes as possible to make it through my days in a cubicle. Thanks to other podcast listeners, and just general digging, I’ve managed to find some new (new to me) shows to keep me occupied when […]
MorePodcasts I’ve been listening to, Part III.
Happy Thursday, y’all! With all of the podcasts I had loaded up on my phone (see them here, and here), it took me quite awhile to listen to them all – I go all the way back and start from episode 1. But, eventually I ran out of things to listen to and have discovered […]
More‘Marshmallow fiction’ & other life questions.
I know I’ve mentioned before that I started carrying around a little notebook everywhere I go. It’s about the size of a back pocket, but of course, it lives in a waterproof cosmetic case I take with me. Sounds high-maintenance, sure, but I learned my lesson the hard way when I spilled coffee inside my […]
MoreOops: Is ‘bro’ offensive?
Last week, I wrote two different posts mentioning a podcast I’ve been listening to. And in one of the posts, I referred to the hosts as bros. This term, “bro” was not taken very well by said hosts, who called me out on Twitter, saying it was a “patently ridiculous” way of describing him. Wait, […]
MorePodcasts I’ve been listening to, Part II.
As you may recall, I’ve recently become obsessed with podcasts. I listen to them all day, Monday-Friday, and I’ve caught up on most of the archives, so I’m finally at a point where I’m looking forward to new episodes each week. I started off listening to around five podcasts (catch my original list here), but […]
MoreAm I lacking ‘girl game’?
Last week, Forbes magazine published an Instagram post revealing the top five downloaded podcasts, which included one called “The Art of Charm”. I checked it out, and noticed the description was geared toward men and how they could improve their lives in all areas, including work, friends, family, and dating, all by the tips in […]
MorePodcasts: Serial.
So, around a month ago I realized two things: 1. I am not really cut out for an “open office” environment. I get really, really distracted, and the sound of other people typing ignites a rage inside my blood that I cannot explain or deal with. And 2., In order to block out all the […]
MorePodcasts I’ve been listening to.
I’ll be honest with you, I thought the podcast was dead. Remember when they first came out? If not, it was 2004, and McDonald’s (yummm) was the first to utter the word via print publication (The Guardian newspaper). Podcasts debuted in conjunction with iPods, because people were using their iPods to listen to and create […]
MoreMarriage expectations.
I spend a decent amount of time telling myself that it’s likely I’ll never get married. No, I’m not saying that to be dramatic, I just have this feeling that something different is in the cards for me. Because of this, I’ve really never thought much about what it would be like to actually BE […]
MorePic of the Week.
Last week, my podcast co-host, Ethan, was so kind as to send me a gift: a Snowball Microphone! Currently, Ethan and I are hosting our podcast, Learning From Strangers, for free, but we are investing our time (mostly Ethan’s) and money (again, mostly Ethan’s) into this, hoping it boosts our numbers when it comes to […]
MoreLearning From Strangers.
I’ve got a new project. Am I crazy? Does it always seem like I’ve got a new project? I will admit, it is a fault of mine that I’m always kind of all over the place. Welcome to the life of a creative—my mind is always buzzing, and in the words of Miley Cyrus, “We […]
