I recently had the pleasure of being interviewed by Reverend Shad from Unity of Boulder and his friend Irreverent Melissa of the Less Serious Show podcast. They are a dynamic duo who love to tackle interesting topics of spirituality, faith and religion. When they invited me to speak to their audience about self-care and rituals, I knew we would have a rich conversation. We ended up talking a lot about adoption too in the second half (I can’t help myself—it’s such a part of my life experience).
During the interview, we covered the following (times listed are approximate):
- How my divorce rituals helped me to grieve (10:00)
- Why ritual is not just eating Doritos and ice cream (14:00)
- Riley’s love rocks – baptism and baby blessing (18:00)
- Relevance of self-care in today’s world (22:00)
- Active Rest vs. Deep Rest (26:00)
- Communication as part of smart self-care (30:00)
- Creating shared history in adoption reunions (38:00)
- Our adoption reunion with Riley’s biological father (46:00)
- Sacred Celebrations (51:00)
- Why we need to turn down the noise (56:00)
- Stop allowing external input to dictate inner experiences (58:00)
You can also tune in to our conversation on iTunes, Stitcher, or listen via the audio player.
When you get a chance to listen, I’d love your feedback. Leave a comment and let me know what gems were helpful and relevant to you.
