May 500:20:12Tap 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!

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!
