[LIVE] Four Years of Plumes
It's absolutely wild to me that I've been creating content for four years - and honestly, it's been a blast. There's so much that I've learned, from figuring out myself properly and all the experimenting that came with it, to eventually rebranding across different avenues to just be the best I...

An Ode to Fathers Everywhere
It'll soon be 8 years since the passing of my Dad, and that realization alone is crazy to consider, but I wanted to take an opportunity to talk with all the Dads out there to give thanks this Father's Day 2024. In today's episode, I recount a lot of the better stories of my Dad; how he helped…

How to Stop Doomscrolling and Start Living
Doomscrolling, and social media addiction as a whole, is a relatively new field of behavioral science that personally, still is lacking in appropriate studies. There's certainly a lot to be learned from the World Wide Web; I mean, you're most likely listening to this thanks to an Internet...

So May Happened
Rap with me for a second here: You're tired as all else, and decide that you're going to take a 30 minute nap before jumping onto the next big project you've got in mind. You lay down, close your eyes, and the next thing you know, it's already 4 in the morning and you've got work in two hours.…

You Gotta Want It
We've talked a lot of about goal setting this year on PlumesCast, from setting reasonable resolutions to keeping yourself motivated through all the hard times - but in conversations I've had a over this past week, I realized that there was a letter missing from our SMART acronym - an S, for...

Lessons Learned - A Month in Review
There's an old saying that comes to mind - "Do as I say, not as I do." While some people consider it one of the worst sayings, telling others to stop perpetuating bad habits while continuing on them yourself, I think it brings an amazing opener to honest reflection. It's less an avoidance of bad...

Stay Determined
It's easy to feel stuck in these busy days of 2024; people are working harder than ever, and yet, have much less to show for it. And I want to start by saying that your frustrations are valid! Think even the best of us get annoyed at how easy it is to watch everything come crumbling down because…

Loneliness Stops With You
In this heightened era of interconnection, through technological advances enabling information to be shared faster than it ever could be done before, we're facing a loneliness epidemic. It started with COVID, where most of us who were used to having daily conversations at the office were now...

Finding Your Voice Through Other's Stories
There's a certain magic that comes when listening to someone else tell their stories when you find bits and pieces that resonate with you. Sometimes, it's just small little thoughts that make you nod, others will leave you in tears as you realize you've survived the same things as someone else....

Perfecting Imperfection
There's a saying that usually gets quoted before the actual ending of it - "Shoot for the Moon!" Did you know that the whole saying is, "Shoot for the Moon, because even if you miss, you'll land amongst the stars"? Too often do we strive for perfection that we end up leaving ourselves without the...

Passiveness in Production: The Oxymoron of 2024
In every project, there's a time to press the charge and lead, and others to lay back and watch the flames burn - it's a delicate art that really, most productivity coaches would scoff at. To them, if you're not grinding 24/7 and leading everything, you're a failure; to me, though? It's the...

Surviving the Dreaded Company Project
We've all been there - the company is asking us to work with people beyond our usual crew to build something monumental, or perhaps they're forcing a change with little explanation, but YOU have to make it work!

Plumes of Authenticity: Soaring High as Your True Self
Throughout our everyday life, whether or not we realize it or not, we're constantly "encouraged" to feel like certain things are unbecoming of who we are as people.

Dismantling the "Boys Will Be Boys" Excuse: One PlumesCast at a Time
We've all heard the saying "Boys will be boys," but how long have we allowed that kind of behavior to be tolerated? And more importantly, how deep has that kind of "Eh, there's nothing we can do about it," response permeated society and caused unjust hurt to all of us living in it? Sorry for the...

The Mismatch that was 2023
Happy New Year! Or, New Years Eve if you're still in 2023 reading this - but 2023 is officially coming to a close, and it's time to look back on where this previous year has taken us. Or at least, that was the game plan, until I got a bit too heated about the joys of Holiday Shopping well after…

How to Stop Being the Therapist Friend
