Loose Ends

CC Barlow and Valerie Uhlin

Two brassy broads trying their best to make sense of life’s nonsense. Call it humorous therapy. Or Irreverent self-help. Learn a little, laugh a little, and leave feeling lighter. We hope.

Click Bait Nation

Loose Ends ·

2024/10/07

Send us a textCC and Val discuss the public fascination with "clicks" on social media and their own experience with the dopamine "hits" provided by posts that took off last week.

It happens.

Loose Ends ·

Awfulizing

Loose Ends ·

2024/09/23

Send us a textWherein CC and Val talk (again) about our human tendency to take a future worry and wrap it up in even worse scenarios. Wayne Dyer labeled it "awfulizing". "And if this happens, then that might happen, and then..." We're all guilty of this. But why? Why do we do it?

Grounding: "Take Your Shoes Off"

Loose Ends ·

2024/09/16

Send us a textWherein CC and Val discuss the value of grounding and its association with the root chakra: what it is, what it means, what it does, and how it benefits us. Along the way there are detours, as usual, like what Val's mini-me looks like. And our need for, attraction to, and connection with trees and the soil itself. It's all connected.

Loose Ends ·

2024/09/09

Send us a textWherein CC and Val talk aging, the pluses and minuses, the good, the bad and the ugly. From wrinkles, to dribbles, to hard-earned wisdom, it may not be a pretty journey -- but it can be a beautiful one. At least, that's what we're told. If we stay present.

Say Wha-a-t?

Loose Ends ·

2024/08/26

Send us a Text Message.Wherein CC and Val banter about words and phrases and their origins. From contronyms like "bolt" and "cleave" to idioms we toss about idly, such as "tying the knot" or "beating around the bush" or "giving a cold shoulder", if you like to laugh while you learn, enjoy this episode. We sure did.

One More Time...with Enthusiasm!

Loose Ends ·

2024/08/19

Send us a Text Message.Wherein CC and Val try to recreate our previous episode on enthusiasm that CC screwed up. This one turned out different. What with a full moon, a superman at that, as well as the first night of the DNC in the States and the enthusiasm around Kamala Harris, we get quite philosophical about the notion of enthusiasm -- we had stuff to say! As did Kali, who joined the discussion. We got excited. Blame the moon.

How Deep is Today?

Loose Ends ·

2024/08/12

Send us a Text Message.Wherein CC shares a spoken word poem entitled How Deep is Today? which she published in 2017. We provide all sorts of transition time for children headed to bed--bath, books, quiet time--but for us adults? Not so much. So, CC wrote a bed-time story for adults about trust and courage. Hope you enjoy! (And an apology: we totally screwed up last week - will re-do our thoughts on "enthusiasm" and post soon. Thanks for your understanding :)

Food Bits and Bites

Loose Ends ·

2024/07/29

Send us a Text Message.Wherein CC and Val talk food: its importance on a physical level, to be sure, but what about our emotions, our mind, our spirit? What does it mean to "eat healthy" and how does that affect our mood, our energy/frequency level? Val shares her own journey from chronic digestive issues to a clearer gut and calmer energy. A veritable fountain of knowledge, she is. Tune in for a wide-ranging and informative discussion this week.

P-R-A-D-A-?

Loose Ends ·

2024/07/22

Send us a Text Message.Wherein CC and Val discuss the six "bodies of speech" or "speech acts." CC offers an acronym to help remember them, as well as the origin of most communication disagreements: making assertions when they're really assessments. Stating opinions as facts mucks things up. If we want better relationships then improving quality communication becomes key.

Is Violence Fear of Change?

Loose Ends ·

2024/07/15

Send us a Text Message.Wherein CC and Val discuss their reactions to, and reflections on the import of, the assassination attempt over the weekend on the former President of the United States.

Comfort Zone

Loose Ends ·

2024/07/08

Send us a Text Message.Wherein CC and Val discuss our comfort zones--because we all have many--where they come from and how they either protect us or prevent us from moving forward. Like a dog's electric collar, our "buried wires" delineate what's safe from what's not, at least as children. As adults, maybe it's time to dig up some of those electric boundary wires and set ourselves free.

"Oh Canada..."

Loose Ends ·

2024/07/01

Send us a Text Message.Wherein CC and Val take refuge from the heat dome and talk summer food, global warming, and the recent suggested warning for smart phone apps. They meander all the way to suggestions for staying cool as well as summer reading thoughts before veering into a flourishing finish with a spontaneous (and questionable) version of the Canadian national anthem in honour of their Independence Day. We tried. Blame the heat. It's all the heat's fault.

Stinking Thinking

Loose Ends ·

2024/06/24

Send us a Text Message.Wherein CC details the 6 primary ways we distort incoming data - ranging from catastrophizing a particular event, to developing tunnel vision, to personalizing everything - and thereby slowing our growth and ability to move forward .

Magical Moments

Loose Ends ·

2024/06/17

Send us a Text Message.Wherein CC and Val discuss the moments that lead to a change in our thinking, events or comments that shift our perspective - the "aha" moments.

Sound Therapy

Loose Ends ·

2024/06/11

Send us a Text Message.Wherein Val schools CC on the difference between sound therapy and sound healing, including the 5 brain states and how they promote wellness.

EQ and Why it Matters

Loose Ends ·

2024/06/03

Send us a Text Message.Wherein CC and Val - but mostly CC - lay out the basics of Emotional Intelligence: What it is, why it's important for long-term development and how it shows up in daily life. Using the analogy of going from learning how to drive a car to becoming a professional race car driver, EQ is twice as important as IQ in shaping one's future.
