The Forty Mag

In this episode of The Forty Mag Think Out Loud Podcast, I discuss why I embrace being a rebel and think, on some level, we all should be. Because being a rebel is a good thing. This episode is for those of us who might be recovering people-pleasers with a rebel lurking deep down inside. And she needs to come out.  Helpful links: My new Barbara Bui sandals Come hang out with me on Instagram! Sign up to my newsletter and don't miss a thing.

In this episode of The Forty Mag Think Out Loud Podcast, I discuss the difference between defending myself and standing up for myself. One has you flailing all over the place trying to plead your case, the other is about standing in your power firmly behind boundaries. Only one of these defenses wins championships. This episode helps those of us who need to navigate this wildly polarized world.  Helpful links: For the backstory referenced in this podcast, have a read of my essay Calling it Like I See It Come hang out with me on Instagram!

In this episode of The Forty Mag Think Out Loud podcast, I blame Sarah McLachlan for all the world's issues. Ok, that's a bit harsh (and untrue) but the truth is that the "Sarah McLachlan effect" had us caring about things that maybe we wouldn't otherwise care about. And today there's an expectation that we must care about things that, if we were honest and brave, we don't actually care about. In this podcast, I discuss what we're actually obligated to do and what we can let go. Helpful links: I hang out on Instagram a good bit.
