SHOW NOTES

How can we benefit from seeing anger in a different light? Robin reflects on an email from a wonderful newsletter called Brain Pickings, created by Maria Popova. One of the highlights that caught Robin’s eye was a quote from David Whyte, who is also one of her favorite poets. David’s understanding of anger as “the deepest form of compassion” opens up a whole world of interpretations and Robin invites us to use it in order to reevaluate our anger. Maybe if we take a closer look, we’ll be able to discover what we really care about.

SHOW NOTES

Improvisational theatre is a lot of fun and can help you learn how to think on your feet. Tonight, Robin remembers a unique life lesson she learned from her own experience with improv. It’s about always trying to make the other person look good. A popular game often played during improv is called the “Yes, And...” game and Robin will demonstrate how we can use this positive method to improve our communication and people skills in everyday life.

SHOW NOTES

Tonight we’re looking into how and why feelings of loneliness come in different shapes and sizes. Robin goes over the 7 types of loneliness that we as people experience and are able to differentiate between. In 2017, Gretchen Rubin wrote an engaging piece about the subject for Psychology Today and it gives us a lot to think about. Dealing with loneliness is very challenging, particularly because it’s such a broad and complex topic. But by learning to differentiate between different types, the task of overcoming it becomes simpler, and a whole lot more manageable!

SHOW NOTES

Feeling like you’re a few quarts low on love and appreciation? You are not alone. Robin reminisces about two separate moments of wisdom. One comes from a spiritual teacher and the other from a biker dude at a bar (which only shows wisdom can be gained from anyone and found in the most unexpected places). Truth is, We’re all emotionally high-maintenance and we are all in this together.

Yes! Gratitude does help with loneliness.

How?

It opens the pathway to more and better relationships, enhances physical health, improves empathy, cuts down on aggression, grows healthy self-esteem, and increases mental strength.

Not only that - studies show it can help lift depression, improve your diet, and make you more likely to exercise. Seriously, we can all use that! 

Did you know heart patients recover more quickly when they keep a gratitude journal? It's true.

Gratitude also causes people to be more generous and kinder to strangers. It's the single best predictor of well-being and good relationships, beating out twenty-four other impressive traits - even hope, love, and creativity!

Benedictine monk David Steindl-Rast is clear about how gratitude helps: "Happiness does not lead to gratitude. Gratitude leads to happiness.”

Hopefully, you'll hear the gratitude in my voice any time I come on the podcast. After all, I really am glad there is a listener there...

SHOW NOTES

The holiday season can be tough for many. It’s meant to spark joy and bring happiness into our hearts. But for some, it can be one of the loneliest times of the year. In this episode, Robin talks about a social change program that she started back in 2013. It’s called Your Holiday Mom and it is an online space where supportive moms gather to post a holiday message to all LGBTQ youth (and adults) who are without a mom’s loving support and who would like a virtual holiday mom.

YourHolidayMom.com is active Thanksgiving Day through New Years Day. If you’d like to read our loving holiday stories, visit: https://yourholidaymom.com/
