☕ I've Been Radicalized by Blindboy. I'm having coffee with Tina Fey this week, but it will not be a pumpkin spice latte.

Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself is easier (and harder) than you think. This episode includes the cheat code for contentment and synchronicity, and a 100% effective treatment to put your Anglophilia in full remission.Pumpkin spice to colonialism: I'll never see a pumpkin spice latte without considering the horrors of the Dutch East India Company, thanks to The Blindboy podcast.The autumn when I received 100 gift baskets: My first side hustle was reviewing gift baskets. I received gift baskets, ate it and wrote reviews that wouldn't get me fired or collapse the delicate affiliate empire of the early noughties.How Pinterest Ruined Wedding Photography: I'm an old crusty geriatric millenial who remembers the good old days when wedding photography was more than being a trained camera monkey executing shot lists.I Used to Design Products: I'm not sure when Amazon turned evil but hopefully it was after my stint as a product designer where I sold over $100K in products on the platform. Although I now boycott Amazon, back then I was young and eager to make my mark on the world before getting crushed in the machine.Manifesting vs. actually manifesting: I find the word "manifesting" as cringe as you do, not because I don't believe in it but because it's been obfuscated and mangled by wishy washy TikToker Instagram scripty fonts with hand-drawn flowers and basic biotches.The OCD Pomeranian technique: To combat ruminative thoughts,I used to swap them for mental images of Pomeranians, a dog I still can't believe is real.Abundance Mom v Slip-and-Slide: My children transformed our row home kitchen in a death trap using Dawn dish soap and a foam sled. Look kids, just because I'm "Abundance Mom" doesn't mean I wanna spend my abundance in the ER while you get your forehead stitched up."Excruciating details: Have you ever experienced a perfect day? IRL or in the 4th dimension, your body reacts the same way. I overshare and walk you through what Martha Beck calls the "Perfect Day" visualization. It's funny to discover that even when it's only in my mind, I automatically put limits on myself the first few times I tried it. I'm better at it now. It's a great way to spend ten minutes if you're willing to give it a go.Road Blocks: My cozy visions come effortlessly but visualizing showbiz standup success takes real mental effort. Ooooo. Is that revealing a truth about me? Or am I limiting myself? 🤔 Fuzzy socks, laughing with friends, and cups of coffee come easily but nice green rooms and sold out theatres can mentally be a heavier lift.FIND LEAH RENEE ONLINE:Website: https://www.leahrenee.co/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@leahreneecomedianSubstack: https://substack.com/@leahreneecomedianReddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/LeahReneeComedian/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/leahreneecomedianIG: https://www.instagram.com/leahreneecomedian/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/leahcreative/Thanks for listening!
