A sleepwalker gives sleeping advice

Embrace Your Weird ·

2020/06/15

When I worked as an actor, I would often have to grab a quick nap to get through long days, comfortably sleeping upright in a folding chair without messing up my hair and makeup.But in my own bed? At an appropriate sleeping time? That is a recipe for sleepwalking, night terrors, and writing creepy and insistent notes that no one understands. Let's talk about how to sleep, and my game-changer of a routine that is simple, and free.

2020/05/08

I've gotten lots of requests lately to talk about fear. I've not wanted to talk about fear. Fear is scary. But since it's something so many of us are dealing with right now, I decided we needed to talk about it. So let's talk fear, and why we should consider doing the exact opposite of what we want to do.

The Love Letter: a socially-distanced mini-episode

Embrace Your Weird ·

2020/04/03

This is the first time I’ve ever cried during a podcast. I was going to re-record it because of that, but I didn’t. Because I want to be real with you. I’ve not wanted to write lately. For me, that’s like saying I no longer have any use for food. But there is a very real reason why that is, and I talk about that, and I share the re-frame that helped me to work through some of the difficult emotions I’ve been feeling. And I share how you can do that, too, if you think it might help you.

Um. Hi. The world is really hard to handle right now. In this episode, I come to you from my closet again to talk about some ways we can manage our mental wellness in this time of COVID-19. I'll also talk about my recent decision to stop drinking alcohol, and how that feels since this is a reality in which I REALLY want to numb out and escape.

Embrace Your Weird ·

2020/02/04

I recently did a talk about mental health and mindfulness at a big financial firm. (And I signed an NDA so I can't tell you the name of it.) Corporations are not known for being really safe and open spaces for discussing things like this. But I want to change that. In this episode, I talk about what happened when I went to a place that's not comfortable with this topic, and I talked about the awkward things. And then I made them meditate.

2019/11/14

In this episode, I interview Bre Gregg of the band Red Bird. She is a singer/songwriter, mother, and anxious person. Bre performs her own music on stage, and I share my life in talks and workshops, yet we both identify as people with anxiety, who get really nervous about being on stage. We talk about why highly sensitive people put ourselves in this scary public position, and we share our personal practices for getting through events that make us nervous.

Acting, movies, and being a quitter

Embrace Your Weird ·

2018/09/18

I spent a long time never talking about my old life as an actor, because it made me feel weird. It can change how people see me, and how people treat me. But since Embrace Your Weird is my thing now, I’m answering all your questions about my old acting life - from how schooling works for kid actors, to my favorite scenes to film to what happened when I ruined one of the funniest moments in Mrs. Doubtfire.

2018/09/18

People tell me all the time that they could never meditate because their brains are too busy. Yeah. Welcome to having a human brain. I really hate to tell you this, but your brain is not special. Let’s dispel some other meditation myths. By the way, we do a guided meditation in this episode from minute 30 to minute 36. So, in case you are in a car or another place where it’s not going to work for you to meditate - just skip ahead and come back to that part.
