Love, Laugh, Let it go

Send us a Text Message. In this episode of the Love, Laugh, Let it Go podcast, I hang out with Dr. Rebekah Tennyson, a clinical psychologist from the UK and an Enneagram 2 who loves music, coffee, pastries, and Disney movies. Even though Rebekah and I have never met, chatting with her feels just like catching up with an old friend. We talk about the struggles women face when trying to take up space without being labeled "difficult." Rebekah shares her journey of doing what was expected of her and how she fit into those neat little boxes society loves. We dig into people-pleasing and how she’s working on breaking free from that habit. Friendships come up a lot in our chat, too. We talk about how they evolve from childhood to adulthood and the importance of being intentional with our connections. Rebekah reminds us that some people are in our lives for a reason, a season, or forever, and keeping those relationships strong takes effort and communication. As an Enneagram 2, Rebekah knows all about caring too much about what others think. She opens up about learning to sit with the discomfort of not being liked by everyone and finding self-acceptance. We also touch on joy and happiness, and how we shouldn’t feel guilty about feeling joyful. We share a laugh about how wild it is to be adults with real responsibilities. Rebekah points out that it’s okay to cancel plans or not be your usual self without having to explain every detail. People aren’t entitled to know everything going on in your life. We also discuss the frustration of feeling like other people are allowed to do certain things, but you aren't. One of my favorite parts of our chat is when Rebekah quotes Anne Lamott: "Expectations are resentments waiting to happen." We talk about the differences between expectations, hopes, and needs, and how managing them can help in our relationships. Towards the end, we talk about therapy and then things get really silly. We had a blast, but just a heads up: proceed with caution because we go off the rails a bit. Join us for an episode filled with laughs, deep insights, and a heartfelt conversation about living authentically and cherishing our friendships. You won't want to miss it!

Send us a Text Message. On today's episode, we're talking all about consuming alcohol. We're going all the way back to high school to tee this story up too. Personally, I've never loved it, however we live in a society where drinking is normal and encouraged.  I talk about the role alcohol has played in my romantic relationships, how it's impacted my day-to-day and what I feel like I'm missing. Personally, I have probably consumed alcohol 5 days or less this year.  No matter your preference, if you consume responsibly, can we agree to only care about what's in our own cup?  Trigger warning: mention of mentally, verbally and emotionally abusive relationship.  Find me on Instagram: @lovelaughletitgo

Today, we're chatting about something we all deal with: worrying about what others think. Let's dive into why it's okay to ignore those doubts and keep chasing after what you want. We've all had moments when someone's quick opinion made us second-guess ourselves. But you know what? Those thoughts only last a few seconds, and they don't define us. Think about it: How many times have you wanted something so badly, and despite what others said, you went for it anyway? Sure, it might have taken a bit longer, but you got there in the end, right? That's what counts. And let's talk about criticism. Instead of letting it bring you down, why not use it to your advantage? Take those negative comments and turn them into motivation to be even better. Remember, you're SO worthy of living a life you're RIDICULOUSLY happy with and I'm cheering you on every step of the way.  Let's connect on Instagram: @lovelaughletitgo

In this episode, I reflect on the significant changes that have unfolded over the past three years since the start of this podcast. From divorce to relocation from Maine to Florida, I share the journey through challenging relationships and dissatisfaction with my job. I discuss the experience of entering into an emotionally and mentally challenging relationship, moving in hastily, and navigating through uncertain territory, relying on the kindness of coworkers and friends I had just made. Despite the obstacles, this period spurred personal growth. Through self-reflection, I learned to recognize my own patterns and set boundaries. This journey led me to the life I envisioned when I began three years ago. Through everything, I've emerged stronger. With clarity, I transitioned into a fulfilling job and a healthy relationship. Though the journey was challenging, it ultimately led to transformation and the realization of many of my aspirations. If you're feeling alone navigating a similar path, know you are not alone. Change takes time, and while the path may be winding, it can lead to profound growth and fulfillment. You are SO worthy of living a life you are RIDICULOUSLY happy with.

Today's episode is about using your time intentionally! As adults, we have to manage responsibilities, friendships, relationships, hobbies, jobs and so much more that it can seem utterly overwhelming at times...like seriously, when do we sleep? But if we did an audit of how we spend our time, what would we find? In my case, hi, Lindsey, your host, I spend way too much time scrolling Instagram consuming content that does nothing for me but distract me. Sure, it's mindless, but it's holding me back. Can you relate? Will you accept the challenge I put forth in this episode?

In today's episode, we talk all about how embracing who you really are (in my case, a total weirdo) can lead to living as the most happy, free version of yourself. Come along as I recap the last 5 years (in about 2 minutes and 20 seconds), the stress that was felt, the survival mode that was lived and how once I felt empowered and safe, the game changed.

Today's episode, I talk all about the runDisney Princess Half Marathon Weekend. If you've been a listener of the show for a while, you already know how much I have ABSOLUTELY loved this weekend. This weekend has been one of my absolute favorite weekends of the entire year. This year however,  I left feeling differently.  Today, we talk all about how it's okay if something that once brought you so much joy and lit you up no longer does that and how it's okay to move on to different things.  I also promise that even though this all sounds like doom and gloom, it absolutely isn't.  Let's connect on Instagram (also, like my castle photo because it's SO fun): @laughlaughlinds

Last week, I was having dinner with a good friend and we were chatting about the fear and anxiety that comes from asking questions that you may not get the answer you want or trying something new that you may fail at. Since my brain likes to sometimes make analogies, I came up with this as a little pep talk. There's two zones- the "control zone" and the "joy zone." As you listen, please remember you're taking advice from someone who runs her vehicle until she's literally praying that she makes it to the gas station before she runs out of gas...ooops! Anyways, I love you and I hope you live in the joy zone more than you live in the control zone.  Let's connect on Instagram: @lovelaughlinds

Things are about to get crazy here, or at least I hope they are. This year, I've felt some massive shifts in how I want to spend my time and I'm sharing all about that today. Today is all about intention and focus and friends and timeshifting (is that even a word)?! Also, major embarrassing overshare too, because we're trying to keep it real over here.  Let's connect on Instagram: @Lovelaughlinds 

I don't know about you, but sometimes when things get hard, I avoid dealing with them instead of confronting them head on. In today's episode, I talk about the why behind my actions (or lack there of) and also give three recent examples of when confronting things turned out better than expected.  Confrontation doesn't have to be scary, and in fact, often leads to clarity, trust, closeness and new opportunities.  Let's connect on Instagram: @lovelaughlinds
