🎙️ SPRING BREAK MODE: ACTIVATED 🌸☀️

If we’ve learned anything over the last couple of years, it’s this… sometimes you just need to take a break from doing ALL THE THINGS.

So that’s exactly what we’re doing. 💁‍♀️

We’re taking a few weeks off to focus on family, friends, work, and life outside the mic.

Don’t worry... we’ll be back after Easter with fresh weekly episodes and our usual fun mix of chaos. 😉

In the meantime…

🎙 NEW EPISODE

Your brain is incredible… but also kind of an idiot.

This week we wrap up Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics and kick off a new book: The Idiot Brain... which explains why your brain sometimes works against you.

We talk about:
🤢 The WILD reason motion sickness makes you want to throw up
📚 How memories actually get stored
🎧 Audiobooks, ADHD, and trying to focus

NEW EPISODE: Did He Hurt His Wiener?

This episode starts with Olympic hockey and somehow ends with credit scores, college mascots, and bald eyelashes.

Along the way we discuss:

🏒 Why Olympic hockey is the best sport to watch
😭 Why the Olympics make us cry every single time
🐺 College mascots that make zero sense
💳 The unfair chaos of credit scores
🧠 And why this podcast should probably be called “Unfinished Stories.”

Because apparently we now have 60 episodes and 187 unfinished stories.

🎙 NEW EPISODE: Meditation with a Side of Rage

This week we talk about:

🧠 Why meditation isn’t “soft” — it’s a hard skill
🔥 Brain voice lies (and how to challenge it)
😤 Rage, vacuum throwing & apologizing to your teenager
📈 Comparison traps and “doing it right”
🐐 Why Snoop Dogg might be our guru

We’re learning that mindfulness doesn’t remove the thoughts — it just helps us respond better to them.

Gentle pivots > spirals.
Self-compassion > self-criticism.
And maybe… talk to yourself like Snoop talks to Olympians.

This week’s focus: The Funny Bone Flex

Growth doesn’t always look like progress. Sometimes it looks like choosing less.

This week’s subscriber-only post invites a small, human flex — no fixing, no forcing.

🎙 NEW EPISODE: Busy Is a Badge

This week we’re talking about the #1 excuse:
“I don’t have time to meditate.”

But somehow…
📱 we have time to scroll
🎮 time to play games
🌀 time to replay old conversations in our heads

In this episode, we unpack why being “busy” feels productive, why rest makes us uncomfortable, and why one minute of meditation actually counts.

🎙 NEW **SUBSCRIBER ONLY** EPISODE: What’s the Worst That Could Happen? (The Olympic Edition)

This one lives on Substack.

This week we spiral through:

🥌 Curling (apparently the sport of reconciliation)
🚁 Helicopters off mountains (hard pass)
😳 That Super Bowl commercial

We start with broom-wielding “witches” on ice and somehow land on confidence, ego, and mental toughness.

It’s chaotic.
It’s shallow at times.
It’s very much Unfiltered Bones.

🎙 NEW EPISODE: The Unclenching of the As***le Is Difficult

Yes. That’s the title.
No. We’re not changing it.

This week we talk about:

🧠 Why trying harder at meditation can make it worse
🧘‍♀️ Why “doing it wrong” might mean you’re doing it right
👓 Brain fog, readers, and midlife realities

If you’ve ever tried to clear your mind by force and ended up more frustrated than peaceful…

This one’s for you.
