Wild Thing
Season 1
by Marcelle J
Each year I find myself battling some conflicting thoughts as this day approaches. Yet again, I remain bittersweet in my reflections of it. Join me as I explore the why behind this day of advocacy has me feeling some type of way. Warning: It's a heavy one.
Events lead to the acknowledgement of something very interesting on this trip- a rush of emotions that occurred for seemingly unknown reasons. I explore how I decided to trust my instincts and my gut rather than try to fight it as I usually do, in attempts to forge a trusting relationship with myself and my body.
Today's episode I provide an update as I lightly brush the surface on my experiences beginning to write my novel, my memoir. Turns out, writing might be where I belong after all.
In today's episode I brush up against the concept of acceptance, and what it might take to help set me free from some things I haven't quite manage to shake off from the past. Let's explore the possibility that the way we perceive ourselves, is how we invite others to perceive us as well- and that it may not be a healthy habit to uphold.
Join me in today's episode as I provide you with a very exciting, news worthy update. I discuss how I am discovering the extent to which stress and distress has affected me negatively and how stepping away has had major implications to my health and wellbeing in only five days.
A little in depth look at our first camping experiencing with Tabby! We spent two nights at a provincial park in Northern SK to test the waters, and here was our experience! Note: This episode was produced prior to the end of my contract. You may notice the end wraps up back in time. Sorry about that!
My first listener question on this podcast! In this episode I open up and explore my experiences on anxiety- what it looks and feels like, and how I've learned to manage to push through the really hard days. Hopefully this offers some comfort, insight or helpful perspectives if you're someone who happens to deal with the same things we do. I'm always open to e-mails and messages for discussion topics or listener questions!

You hear me repeatedly shouting from the rooftops “I’m burned out!”. But what does that mean exactly? If I google it, will it tell me I’m dying of cancer? Let’s explore the formal definition, look at my own experience and my game plan to help pull myself out of the hole. If nothing else, I hope it helps you feel seen and validated, or helps you understand a loved one who may be struggling with burn out too.

I'm sixteen days out and in this episode I share how I'm currently feeling. I also explore another topic that has cropped up: Boundaries; the very obvious need for implementation and maintenance as I choose to finally put myself and my needs in the drivers seat, and try to navigate how to keep myself there. Recovering people pleaser habits are hard ya'll,
Here's a little bonus episode where I send you love and share my thoughts on how this podcast has been received by you, the listener, since it's release less than a month ago. From the bottom of my heart- thank you! I look forward to what this podcast and journey means for me, for you and for us together.
