Transcribe →Stop Apologizing for Taking Up Space (Compassion Starts Here)
3w ago00:20:12Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailWhat if compassion doesn’t start out there… but within?In this episode of Picture Love, I’m sharing what compassion looks like in real life—especially on the days when things feel heavy, uncertain, or just a little harder than usual.We talk about why so many of us apologize for simply taking up space… and how self-compassion can gently shift that.This isn’t about carrying everyone else’s emotions or fixing the world.It’s about learning to stay open, present, and kind to yourself—so you can show up with more clarity, more capacity, and more love.There’s also a simple invitation woven through this episode:To notice the “winks” in your life…the quiet reminders that say, keep going—this matters.And maybe, to offer that same reminder to someone else.New day - marking the 2500 download milestone it was time for a fresh evergreen intro a refresh!

Transcribe →Your Presence Is Your Power
Apr 1400:09:45Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailWhat if one of the most powerful things you can do right now… is simply be more present?In this heartfelt episode of Picture Love Podcast, I’m reflecting on the very human ways we all drift — zoning out while reading, walking into a room and forgetting why, or picking up the phone for one quick thing and ending up 20 minutes deep in distractions we never meant to follow.But this episode goes deeper than everyday absentmindedness.This is a loving invitation to notice where your attention has been going… and to gently call your power back.I’m sharing why presence matters so much in a world that constantly competes for our focus, how distraction can quietly rob us of the life we’re actually living, and why being more intentional with our energy is one of the kindest things we can do for ourselves and the people we love.In this episode, we explore:common signs you’ve drifted out of the present momentwhy your attention is more valuable than you thinkhow fear, noise, and division can pull us away from whole livingwhat it means to choose people over sideswhy forgiveness can be part of reclaiming your peacea gentle reminder to come back to your body, your senses, and your lifeIf you’ve been feeling scattered, overstimulated, or simply ready to stop giving so much of yourself away to things that don’t deserve your energy, this episode is for you.Because your life is happening now.And your presence?It’s part of your power.Until next time…keep Picturing Love.New day - marking the 2500 download milestone it was time for a fresh evergreen intro a refresh!

Transcribe →When Rest Is the Kindest Choice
Apr 700:17:07Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailWhat if one of the kindest things you could do… was rest?In this follow-up to last week’s episode on kindness, I’m sharing a very real-life example of what kindness looked like for me over Easter weekend — and it didn’t look like doing more. It looked like canceling plans, delaying traditions, wrapping a sprained ankle, putting my foot up, going to bed early, and letting the day become something softer than expected.This episode is about radical rest — not as avoidance, but as a deeply loving response to what is true right now.We talk about:why rest is not something you have to earnhow traditions can evolve without losing their meaningwhy delayed plans are not failed eventshow kindness toward yourself creates more compassion for othersthe surprising connection between rest, creativity, healing, and authentic presenceand why sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is stop forcing the day… and let it feel loved insteadIf you’ve been carrying pressure, overriding your body, or feeling like you have to “push through” to prove something, consider this your gentle reminder:Rest is not laziness. Rest is wisdom. Rest is power. Rest is kindness.Mentioned in this episode: "Company Retreat" on Amazon Prime — a hilarious, creative, kindness-centered comedy series built around a fictional company retreat scenario.And as always…Until next time, keep Picturing Love. 💗New day - marking the 2500 download milestone it was time for a fresh evergreen intro a refresh!

Transcribe →Choose Joy, Don’t Just Wish for It - A Practice of Presence
Mar 1000:22:16Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailIn last week’s episode, we talked about unfinished projects and the freedom that comes from reassigning their value.This week, Kris LeDonne shares what happened when she practiced what she preached.After clearing mental space from overwhelming to-do lists, one project rose naturally to the top: transforming a neglected kitchen pantry into a functional, beautiful space.What began as a home improvement task became something deeper — a practice of presence, creative flow, and choosing joy.In this episode, Kris explores:• Why our worth is never tied to productivity or completion• How making space before starting a project can transform the experience• The difference between labor that drains and craft that expands• How turning off noise (news, social media) can open creative flow• Why choosing how you want to feel matters more than controlling outcomesYou’ll also hear the story behind Kris’s new affirmation cards and how releasing control over the outcome allowed something “perfectly imperfect” to arrive.The episode closes with an affirmation from Kris's brand new deck:“I am grounded in worth, and growing toward my light.”If there’s a project in front of you right now, this conversation might offer the nudge you need to approach it with presence, compassion, and joy.You are worthy — not because of what you finish, but because you exist.Sign up for (weekly) Picture Love email notifications HERE.Keep Picturing Love.New day - marking the 2500 download milestone it was time for a fresh evergreen intro a refresh!
