Laura on Why We're Wrapping TMST
As we announced last week, this is the last episode of Tell Me Something True. Today, Laura walks through why we made this decision (it’s all fine, nothing is wrong!)
A thing worth celebrating is that over 67 episodes, nearly a quarter of a million adventurous, curious people said YES and pressed play over 600,000 times. Holy cow…that’s A LOT!
The numbers only matter because they’re the mirror of how much you - and thousands of folks like you - said yes to falling in love with the mystery of life again. With every episode, we asked, “How can we help someone to have a better week next week?” We’re so grateful that you have been interested in going on this adventure with us. All of the episodes will stay up and we hope you’ll share them and return to these shows as you’re looking for inspiration, comfort, new tools, and new ideas.
And we hope you’ll please keep in touch!
If you have a passionate idea for a show, or a message that absolutely MUST be heard, give Mikel a holler here: www.liminahouse.com/
Laura’s site (www.lauramckowen.com/) and her IG are the best way to say hey ( laura_mckowen) and pre-orders for her new book, Push Off From Here are happening! (www.lauramckowen.com/books/push-off-from-here)

Переглядів 1,1 тис.2 роки тому
Melissa Urban is one of the few people we’ve asked back to the show and there’s a reason for that. She’s got such a unique, magnetic energy and this strong, no-nonsense, yet compassionate way of showing up in the world.

Jennifer Moss on The Burnout Epidemic
Переглядів 1452 роки тому
Tell the truth - how many times does the phrase “I’m so burned out?” show up around you? Burnout is both more than we think it is and much more insidious. Burnout has been defined by the World Health Organization as a workplace-centered phenomenon, and they calculate that it’s killing 750,000 people a year! Jennifer Moss has dedicated a large part of her career to researching, writing about, an...
Ali Shapiro on Healing Our Relationship to Food, Weight, and Body Image
Переглядів 792 роки тому
Ali Shapiro arrives with a mountain of good news! We don't have to evade our relationship with food. We don't have to be ruled by stories that shame us and keep us stuck. Most importantly, those stories don't have to contribute to hating ourselves. Ali is the creator of the Truce with Food Process, which combines how we think - and feel about - food and the stories we tell ourselves. She’s brid...
Larissa May and Our Journey to Digital Wellness
Переглядів 682 роки тому
On TMST we’ve been open about our conflicted relationship with technology and social media. And you’ve heard many of our guests recount their mixed feelings, as well. Today’s guest takes all of that and turns it up to 11. In 2018, Larissa May (who goes by Larz) spoke out about her struggle with depression on social media. The post and hashtag that emerged around it was called #HalfTheStory - an...
Erin Lane on the Scripts That Hurt Mothers (and non mothers, too!)
Переглядів 252 роки тому
We don’t like to admit it, but there are a hell of a lot of scripts that run us. They’re the “shoulds” - ideas so woven into our lives that we don’t even know they exist. For virtually all women - the scripts around motherhood are the most pernicious. They load us down with self-doubt, bake in unattainable expectations, and set us up for a life where we’re always defined in relationship to othe...

Chris Marshall on How Connection Can Save Your Life
Переглядів 182 роки тому
Being human means sometimes we feel deeply alone. Cut off from other people. For most people, it passes quickly. For others, especially those who also suffer from addiction, that feeling of isolation is persistent. It’s a low hum that follows a person everywhere. Part of the reason why some drink is to numb that feeling and turn down the voices that whisper why we’re alone. Chris Marshall knows...

Dr Kate Pate on Vets, First Responders and why “Being Triggered” is More Complicated Than You Think

We are never more than one connection away from a veteran or first responder. They are the ULTRA helping professions. During the pandemic, many were the first line of protection and care. Over 20 years of The Global War of Terror, many have experienced repeated deployments with an anodyne “thank you for your service” and a bad country music song as their only Thank You. But how many of us have ...
Veronica Valli on The Promise of Emotional Sobriety for TMST’s 1st Birthday
Переглядів 1452 роки тому
Rollercoasters are a fun diversion, but they’re no way to live. That’s why the whipsaw experience of being on an emotional rollercoaster is one of the things folks are most happy to see leave their life. Those radical highs and lows aren’t confined to the times when people are using - they often extend well into sobriety. Usually driven by hyper-sensitivity and, to be honest, a lot of self-abso...

    I first became upset hearing the part about borderline personality disorder because I have it from my mother, but after thinking about it. It validates so much of my strife. I have so much hurt towards my mom and I’m in therapy for borderline personality disorder and some how my issues always lean back to my mom and now I understand why

    I don't consider myself a reader nor did I consider myself someone who needed a mothers love. Recently I heard the title to this book and was completely drawn to it out of pure curiosity. Something deep down knew I needed to connect with this information. Upon reading this beautifully written book I'm now aware of feelings and connections that I just didn't have the dialect for. ALLLLL young girls and boys should take this information in so that humanity can connect to their heart again or for the very first time

    Exposed, they didn't "come clean." Exposed. People donated money for the care of the dog after all the publicity by the Dodo. They were exposed after omitting the details of the injuries the dog suffered. The influencer interests were paramount.

    I lived on the road almost twelve years. I noticed the trend of people monetizing their lives and glorifying the lifestyle. It's a huge mistake, tho hey, I guess she's made a lot of money thru it. Tho possibly if they had just lived the life and not monetized/publicized it the relationship would have lasted.
