#157 Are you putting yourself first?
Are You Putting Yourself First? If that question made you cringe, this episode is for you. I share a small but revealing moment from my own week — a meeting, a 15-minute ask I wouldn't let myself make, and what happened when I got to campus anyway. It's a story about how quickly and automatically we abandon our own needs without even realizing it. In this episode: Why putting yourself first isn't selfish — it's necessaryHow we disappear from our own equation without noticingWhy "listen to you...

156: Always a Sibling – An Interview with Annie Sklaver Orenstein
When Annie lost her brother Ben to a suicide bomber in 2009, she went to a bookstore looking for a book about sibling grief. She couldn't find one. So she wrote it.

#155 Would you ever talk that way to a friend?
Would You Talk That Way To A Friend? You know that voice in your head — the one that says "that was so dumb" or "you said too much." But would you ever say that to a friend? In this episode, Suzanne walks you through a simple but powerful experiment to help you become aware of your inner critic — and start replacing it with something kinder. Because the way you speak to yourself matters more than you might think. Try it yourself: Make a list of what your inner critic says. Then imagine saying...

#154 What If Those Emotions Aren't Even Yours?
Do you ever wake up feeling agitated, heavy, or triggered — and can't figure out why? In this episode, Suzanne shares what she discovered after waking up unsettled one morning: the culprit wasn't stress or worry. It was a TV series she'd been watching the night before. What follows is an honest, relatable exploration of what it means to be someone whose nervous system absorbs the emotions of others — from fictional characters on screen to the people sitting right next to you. In this episode,...

#153 What if Beauty is in the In-Between?
I recorded this episode literally from my car right after an all-day Feng Shui Art Workshop — still in the energy of it. Here's what I discovered: judgment isn't something to shame yourself for. It's a signal. A clue that your nervous system is feeling unsafe, closed off, or resistant to something new. I also talk about what happens when beauty is still developing — how messy and disorganized it can look right before it becomes something meaningful. And why stepping away when you're too close...

#151 When you give yourself 2 choices
In this episode, I share a real-life moment from a cold winter morning — a missed phone call, unexpected traffic, and the familiar urge to spiral. Instead of bracing, I practiced something different: breathing, noticing, and staying in the moment. This episode explores: How the body often braces before the mind starts spiralingWhy familiar patterns of worry and fear feel so automaticHow to interrupt the loop by returning to breath and sensationWhat it looks like to choose presence, even when ...

#150 Do you complain a lot?
Most of us don’t think we complain very much — until we actually pay attention. In today’s episode, I share what I discovered when I started noticing my own complaints, and why these seemingly small moments matter more than we realize. Complaining isn’t just a habit — it creates a subtle contraction in the body that makes it harder for joy to land and stay. You’ll hear: why we rarely notice when we’re complaininghow complaining tightens the body and shifts our emotional statethe surprising th...
