Hygge > Seasonal Depression

12/04/24 • 28 min
This time of year it's common for the winter blues to creep up. Usually we're pretty good at fending it off until after the Christmas magic has died down - but it can sort of loom over our heads a little. I am sharing the concept of "Hygge" in this episode - and some ways (outside of physical and mental care) that we can insulate ourselves from the weight of winter. We deserve to find the magic and beauty through all seasons.

Previous Episode
The Mother feat. Jen Anderson
Jen Anderson is back! Well, at least for one episode she is. Tanya and Jen get into a chat about what the role of the mother entails. There's still a noticeable inequity between the role of dad, and the role of mom. There seems to be a lot of assumption about what jobs fall onto mother - whether or not she works outside of the home.

Finding Value In Yourself - Opinions Do Not Define You
This episode comes from a place of finally accepting that other peoples opinions of me don't have to matter. I used to be pushed and pulled by the opinions of others, wanting to protect myself from negative things being said or thought about me.
From over a decade of real life experience with negative perceptions and opinions, in 2024 I think I've really let it go. You don't have to see me the way I see myself. You can be stuck on whatever view you have of the world, me, yourself and none of it has to be true to me and influence the reality that I live in.
External validation does not define your worth is really landing for me and I hope if you're stuck in a people pleaser cycle, you find a way to still believe in you, for you.
