Rambles & Doodles Podcast
Listen to my new project, Rambles & Doodles, a research and development podcast about reflection, journaling, and self discovery. In each episode, I’ll ‘ramble’ about a topic and then share a ‘doodle’ (a journaling prompt) for you to do on your own. This podcast is for avid journalers, newbies, or those who have tried over and over again, but the practice has been hard to keep up.
New episodes come out on Wednesdays, along with suprise minisodes! Subscribe wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts!
Approach to the Work
Healing
The healing must happen inside of the work, not on its margins. More than just yoga and breath work, centering care and compassion allows us to see ourselves and others more fully human.
Storytelling
Whether it’s the words, our responses, or what we choose to tell and not tell, it is all data for evaluation, reflection and assessment.
Relationships
A microscopic examination of the relationships within your organization will reveal the internal workings of larger systems.
Reimagining the Future
More than just magic spells (although those are welcomed, too), we need to revisit to our child-like wonders and reclaim our visions of liberation and wholeness.
