0001-The Garden Metaphor - An Introduction to "Question Your Garden"

I love metaphors. I tend to be more logically minded and metaphors help tap into that emotional side of me, to bring congruence and understanding to the things happening in my life. Here, I explain my perspective of the metaphorical garden (big thanks to Emily Nagoski !) and the overall goals for this podcast. Truthfully, it's a method I'm exploring for my own healing, however, I feel sharing my own struggles can help others feel less alone...less broken. So, have a listen and stick around for more! I've got some meaty topics lined up and I'm excited about getting to them! Transcript from the show: _____________________ Normally, this is where I give you a synopsis of what today's episode will be about, but...It's my very first episode ever! I kinda think we need to go over some background on why this podcast is even here, ya know? The short story, it's about personal development and self-exploration; mostly my personal story, really. I...

0003-Emotion Stuffing - What it can mean for relationships and friendships

As Emily Nagoski notes in her book, " Come As You Are ", "We've locked ourselves, culturally, into our own fear, rage, and despair." See, we learn, somehow someway at a young age to inhibit ourselves so we better fit in – so we can survive. In this episode, I explore some of the nefariousness that emotion stuffing has contributed to in my life. Transcript from the show: _____________________ Today, I want to chat about emotion stuffing because I'm grossly guilty of it. Your mileage may vary, of course, but emotion stuffing has been a big player in my lost friendships and relationships over the years. What's emotion stuffing? Well, it's pretty much as it sounds. You're going about your life as usual and something happens, and this feeling creeps in that you don't like. Maybe you're not exactly in the space to deal with that emotion (maybe you're in public, like school or work) or maybe you just especially hate it (l...

0005-Voice - Why speaking up matters

How many times have you chosen to silence yourself out of fear of judgement or even oppression? Did you know that sometimes, simply speaking up to the right audience can encourage someone else to take action? I understand that fear, as it's consumed me for many, many years. There's value in sharing though; value in challenging what others may consider to be "too much information." Someone else out there wants and needs to hear your words. Let's take a look at what it might be like to find our voice and shed the fears, at least enough to speak. Transcript from the show: _____________________ When I first mentioned starting this podcast to my husband, he seemed both surprised and intrigued. He didn't ask a lot about my ideas, initially, probably guessing I'd willingly just share them. And, I will share my ideas...but not usually without being asked for more information first. That's for another podcast though *chuckle* Any...
