Ep 23: What are you measuring?

Ep 23: What are you measuring?

We’re all measuring something, but are we using the right metric? Are we measuring time or result? Are we measuring our waist or our health? We can measure our social media or our water intake, but if we’re not setting ourselves up for success, then we’ll fail emotionally every time.

In this episode, I’m musing over some measurements that caught me off guard, and how I’m shifting my perspective on some of the things I'm measuring.

Ep 17: Revisiting Flowers in the Attic with Meg Tietz

Flowers in the Attic was published in 1979 and has become somewhat of a cult classic novel, especially for women of a certain age who passed it among friends.

Today is one of those, I think, and believe when I say that I’ve been on both sides of this one.

Especially as an adult. How do we do this? Is it lame? Is it private? Will I feel dumb?
