"You Care Too Much"
12 episodes - English - Latest episode: over 3 years ago - ★★★★★ - 18 ratings"You Care Too Much" is a podcast for people who give a fuck.
Hi, I’m Randi Johns, and if I had a nickel for every time I have heard, “You care too much..."
Instead of heeding advice to give fewer fucks, I decided to double down on caring and start a podcast dedicated to elevating the voices of purpose-drivers, world-changers, and all those who reject the status quo, advocate for, and create ways to better the lives of many. I invite you to join me as I explore the stories behind cool humans doing great things. We will not only learn about their purposes or causes, but uncover and celebrate the "whys" behind what they do and who they are.

She, herself, has an awesome podcast and has shared her journey and podcasting experience with me as I’ve traversed my own. It seemed only fitting to get to dig up some big things and explore with someone who had a hand in helping and encouraging me to get this little pod off the ground. So, in this episode...

Yoshino - Authenticity, Honesty & Meaningful Connection
December 14, 2020 10:05 - 1 hour - 75 MBNo question about it; a lot of terrible things have happened this year. And Yeah, we could just say 2020 was shit. But was it all that way? Or did it make you have to look at and try connecting with yourself and others a little harder, a little longer, and maybe a little more honestly? Sure. We can say the chaos of 2020 has muddied everything and that we’re just trudging through, or we could say it made certain things a lot more clear. Or we could go with both. It’s probably both. On that n...

November 30, 2020 10:00 - 59 minutes - 68.8 MBI cannot wait for you to hear this week’s guest who may be a bit of a kindred spirit to some of you animal lovers out there.

Samantha started her business with the help of her business partner and pup, Baloo.

She's also my favorite Pokémon and Star Trek enthusiast, and all-around queen of pop culture analogies.

Dr. Payal Sharma - Power Stories & Posttraumatic Growth
November 09, 2020 11:00 - 1 hour - 79.2 MBIn the thick of it, it may not feel like both powerlessness and power are universal experiences, but we’ve all been there.

Dr. Payal Sharma - who studies power and stress in organizations and teaches at the Lee Business School at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas - joins me on the show to chat about power versus powerlessness...

It could be as simple as treating everyone we meet with kindness, using less plastic, or channeling our unique essence to impact others… which is exactly what this episode's gue...
