February 06, 2023 09:00 - 22 minutes - 22.3 MB

Our special series focusing on the seven life themes in The Treasured Journal continues with the second in a two-part discussion of relationships. This is a big topic that can include communication, boundaries, trauma, pleasure, needs identification, and more. But, here, I want to zero in on two specific concepts that I’ve found to be invaluable for myself and my clients—and I’m confident they will help you make the most of your journaling:   Relationships are like mirrors The relations...

Throwback with Nicole Busch (ep. 75): Why Style Matters

December 05, 2022 09:00 - 1 hour - 68.2 MB

This throwback to December 7, 2020, features Nicole Busch, the personal stylist and owner of Nicole Blair Wear. If you think “personal stylist” suggests that this is a standard discussion about fashion, I encourage you to think again. Getting dressed influences the way we interact with ourselves, our loved ones, and the world—it’s much more than clothes.  Nicole and I delve into the fascinating psychology behind what we wear, why our clothes don’t always reflect our true style, and how shi...

113. Joy Juice

November 21, 2022 09:00 - 13 minutes - 13.9 MB

Over the last couple of episodes, we’ve discussed the upcoming holidays and the pressure to have holiday feelings and do holiday things and meet holiday expectations. But that pressure can sabotage our mental health and our time with family and friends. So it’s important that we figure out what we want and need from the holidays, which is key to enjoying this time of year to the fullest.  In this episode, I share an exercise that can help us tap into the “joy juice,” the feel-good emotions...

112. Gratitude and Toxic Positivity

November 14, 2022 09:00 - 27 minutes - 27 MB

There really is no escaping the year-end holidays. From decorations to music to parties, the season is everywhere! And, with the season, comes the expectation that this is a festive time of year and you had better get on board and be grateful. We love and encourage feelings of gratitude. Gratitude feels good and we want to feel good, right? But gratitude can go very wrong when it doesn’t allow for a full range of emotion. When there is no space to feel anything else, gratitude can tip over...

111. Three Myths About Therapy

November 07, 2022 09:00 - 20 minutes - 20.8 MB

Even with all of the progress we’ve made in our attitudes toward mental health and therapy, many people still find it hard to admit that they need help. And often, if they do ask for help, they’ve waited far too long. Feeling the need to suck it up, to swallow our pain, to push through the hard times on our own is not only unnecessary, it also can be quite harmful.  For many of us, painful emotions are felt most acutely during the holidays. Some of our most fundamental issues surface when ...

110. Are You Being Too Hard on Yourself?

October 31, 2022 08:00 - 21 minutes - 21.5 MB

I started the "Don’t Cut Your Own Bangs" podcast to explore the "messy middle," that place between the before and after photo. It can also be thought of as the gap between how we are feeling and how we think we should be feeling. The middle doesn’t only exist during the year-end holidays, but as we’re closing in on that time of year, the gap between how we feel and how we want to feel can seem especially wide. To deal with the stress and business of the holiday season, we must first ackn...

108. When Things Don't Go As Planned

October 03, 2022 08:00 - 25 minutes - 36.8 MB

Let’s face it, sometimes things just don’t go as planned. But, how do we respond? Do we hang on fiercely to the original plan? Do we let go and adjust to the new situation? If we let go of the original plan, how do we know when to let go? A lot of my clients have been faced with this question lately. So, in this episode I share a recent experience of my own to explore these questions and more.    We can learn a lot about ourselves when our plans are upended. All of us know the struggle o...

107. Guilt in Overachievers, Perfectionists & People Pleasers PART 2

September 26, 2022 08:00 - 33 minutes - 32.6 MB

This is the 2nd half of a two-part discussion focused on people pleasing. The first half Ep. 49 on Justine Carino’s podcast, “Thoughts from the Couch," aired on September 5th. I encourage you to listen to that episode, especially if you are a people pleaser burdened by anxiety, guilt, perfectionism, and fear of disappointment or abandonment. Justine and I draw connections between these behaviors and feelings so that you can begin to relieve some of these emotional weights and better manage y...

LISTENER’S FAVORITE: (ep. 35) You are not alone. A Miscarriage Solocast

September 19, 2022 08:00 - 28 minutes - 28 MB

CONTENT WARNING: This episode deals with pregnancy and miscarriage. From February of 2020, we revisit episode #35, in which I discuss the miscarriage that I experienced eight months earlier. The physical, mental, and emotional toll the experience took on my husband and myself was heavy. I knew this was a story I wanted and needed to share, in part for my own healing, but also to honor the grace that had been given to me. In the early stages of healing, nurses came into my hospital room, ...

LISTENER’S FAVORITE: (ep. 41) Need some alone time? Danielle x Jen Petro

September 12, 2022 08:00 - 36 minutes - 34.7 MB

In episode #42 from April 2022, Jen Petro and I discuss the benefits of taking a solo retreat. She first suggested the idea to me while working side by side at Cafe’ Patachou.⁣ ⁣I remember thinking, “Huh? Just go somewhere by myself, for myself, for no other reason than I want to?”⁣ ⁣It sounded indulgent, a little selfish, and OH SO NECESSARY. Saying yes to myself in this way changed my life. Truly. ⁣ A solo retreat can drop your stress level and help you feel more settled, especially in...

This episode revisits my discussion with Danielle Wolter Nolan, who has a question for you. When was the last time you did something for the first time?

Danielle and her wife, Kate Nolan, founders of DNK Presents, organize and guide empowering adventure retreats for groups and businesses. They focus on getting...

LISTENER’S FAVORITE: (ep. 48) The Relationship Between Goals & Emotions

August 29, 2022 08:00 - 10 minutes - 10.9 MB

This solocast revisits episode 48, in which I explore two questions about goals:  When are goals necessary to make meaningful things happen in our lives? How do we know when it’s time to abandon a goal and move on? Somewhere in the middle of answering these questions I explore: Goals and expectations Goals and disappointment Goals and accomplishment And most of all: Goals and emotions Whether it’s a personal goal, business goal, or creative goal—our goals are driven by an emotion...

Over the summer, I‘ve taken some time away from “Don’t Cut Your Own Bangs” to reassess and clarify my goals, to make sure that this podcast continues to provide discussions that are thoughtful, purposeful, and relevant.

106. Are You Living in a Joy Deficit? - A Solocast

August 15, 2022 18:00 - 23 minutes - 23.6 MB

If the way we want to feel isn’t alive somewhere inside us, then we’re more likely to stay stuck in the mindset of our problems. While choosing joy in the midst of insanity might feel like a bold and radical choice, joy is the rocket fuel we need to get us where we want to go. In this episode, I discuss tactics that help us tap into the joy that can be lying dormant inside us. Window-shopping joy  Doubling down on what feels good  Being a student of happiness    By recognizing what f...

106. Fear & Getting Unstuck - A Solocast

June 07, 2022 07:30 - 19 minutes - 19.3 MB

This episode comes in the wake of another horrific school shooting and many of the people I’ve encountered over the past week are struggling because of it. So, I’m compelled to use this time to address the concept of fear brought on by secondary trauma and how we can get stuck trying to process that fear. Through biologic evolution, our bodies have been hardwired with the classic fear responses: fight, flight, freeze, and fawn. Often we respond with fear even when the danger or trauma does...

102. David’s Hot Takes: Navigating Parenthood, Marriage & an Evolving Relationship

May 02, 2022 08:00 - 1 hour - 114 MB

When you’re caught up in the details of everyday life, it can be easy to “forget” how remarkable our loved ones are because we’re around them so much. By dedicating time for interruption-free discussion that might not happen organically over dinner, we can reconnect in important ways. So I thought it would be fun to “check in” with my husband, David Dellen, and share that discussion with you. Since having a baby in the last year, our relationship has changed and evolved in ways we anticipa...

LISTENER'S FAVORITE: Jealousy - 3 things it could be telling you.

April 18, 2022 08:00 - 16 minutes - 15.2 MB

Jealousy is often seen as a negative emotion. And let's be honest, it doesn't feel that great when we experience it. ⁣ BUT, what does it look like if we approach our jealousy with a little compassionate curiosity? In my experience, jealousy is calling our attention to deeper desires that we may not be fully aware we have.  When we're riding the jealousy train, we might find ourselves falling into the following rabbit holes: Comparison⁣ Criticism Complaining⁣ ⁣Here's 3 things jealou...

What does it mean to trust the way you feel when people you trust, who love you, or leading experts disagree? Who actually knows what’s best for us? Wanting the approval of others and wanting to reach consensus with important decisions in our lives can potentially keep us stuck in people pleasing, over committing and anxiety.  Opinions are not facts, and Google is not research.
