36. Exploring Do Overs

Episode 36Welcome to the Healing Pod! This week we talk about deciding to do a Do Over. This can be a simple thing such as scrapping a small project or recipe, or a major decision such as completely changing a career or ending a relationship.It’s incredibly scary to make that choice sometimes, especially as we know we will mourn that which we leave behind, no matter how much it was time to leave it.Embracing potential failure as a natural ending of things and a contribution to actual learning can help as well. Keeping that grace both to allow yourself to change and realize that previous decisions were not the ones you need at this point in your life lets there be room for growth. Happily ever after only exists when you stop reading the story before the next challenge comes along. Join us online for #DoOverDare and tell us about the big or little things you’ve done over this week! Like me finally redoing our office website (it’s not pretty pretty, but it’s functional!) and Jess’ attempt to revive our social media. And follow Jess and my progress as we set up therapy retreats in Florida this fall!And the pot parable came from a book called “Art and Fear” by David Bayles and Ted Orland. Although apparently the true story of it used photography rather than ceramics. And remember, scary does not necessarily mean bad. As always, thank you to the wonderful Miki Anderson for our intro and outtro music. She can be found under Pax Minerva on Apple Music and is all around a wonderful human being. Come join us and chat, complain, or send in what mental health you would like to hear us ramble about! Find us on Facebook, TikTok, and instagram at The Healing Pod We are online at https://www.PeasInTheHealingPod.com  You can email us any questions, suggestions, comments, or memes at [email protected]  If you want to hunt down the bits and bobbles that have been cut out of our episode, join us for another live recording, or just to buy us a cup of coffee, come join us at https://www.patreon.com/TheHealingPod
