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...

0017-Eyes - Eye contact versus exploration

I know you've heard "the eyes are the gateway to the soul." Here, I chat about what it means and how to possibly experience the breadth of this euphemism for yourself. Transcript from the episode: ______________________ Ohhhhhh the eyes. It's fairly common knowledge that making eye contact with others is a pretty big deal.

And when you're speaking with someone else, eye contact is also considered a sign that you are listening to that person and that they have your undivided attention. Somehow or another, I learned to make good eye contact in scenarios where it is "required." At work or in interviews, I make great eye contact. I'm okay with this because it's important to me that the other person know that I'm paying attention to them and care what they have to say, because it's vastly...

0014-Emotional Neglect - And a few words on attachment

Your childhood matters a LOT. I don't think emotional neglect is talked about enough and for that reason, I've been pretty blind to it. Look below to some of the resources I talked about in the episode! Anxious Attachment Avoidant Attachment Therapist Uncensored (Specifically episodes 59, 60, and 61) Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents by Lindsay Gibson Transcript from the show: _____________________ Like fear of intimacy, I didn't see that emotional neglect was also a factor in my life. My brain translated those words into something that I thought would be glaringly obvious if it were a factor. And…it is but! If you don't know the ways in which emotional neglect develops and how it presents itself in yourself, you'll just look at it like another personality quirk. I mean, that's what I did. I just thought I was naturally reclusive. I've thought that sacrificing yourself to others and their needs were what "good...
