Have You Ever One-dered??

It's interesting to learn about what travel superstitions emanate from various cultures. Be safe, C

Our SES (Summer Encouragement Series) continues with thoughts on healing and community. I'm so glad you're here, C

If you haven't been able to take possession of your mansion yet (or you don't ever plan to) then learning to make living in a small space workable might be just the burgeoning skill set for you! Life is for living, C :)

A migraine influenced episode, but still trying to keep it light. Hope it helps! Here with you, C

It's a Song of the Week! I am so excited to present to you this brand new music-centered feature on the show. Two Years Ago we had a blast (my word) listening to 300 albums and discussing them together. Ever since I have known that we were going to get back to holding space to talk specifically about music on the pod, regularly. And just about a year after we started that massive undertaking, the time is now!! So instead of album after album, we're going to talk about ONE SONG AT A TIME. - This week's SIXTY-TWO installment song (Year Two!) is from Artist: Chicago And is called “If You Leave Me Now.” It is from their eighth studio album: Chicago X You can listen to their album version of the song here: https://youtu.be/-9_d-sFhmRM Plus you can almost always grab a preview on my IG @whereschloe; it's up on the profile. - There is no hierarchy; these songs are going to be in basically a random order, chosen for reasons that I'll most likely expound upon within the episode. Along with an array of background, inspirations, time frame, album order, cultural context, related themes, personal experiences, etc. Any genre artist decade that I would listen to is up for grabs and who's to know what will be next and why? ;) Remember your favorites. Discover something new. One song of the week at a time for however long works. I'm ELATED that you're along for the ride, C -

We made our way back to another Travel Thursday yay Make your life easier: Here are some things you can just straight up not bring on your next trip (or perhaps replace with something better). Here's to simpler endeavors ahead! C

It's exactly as stated :) I'm SO happy you're here, C

The 21st Century has changed A LOT of things about the medium. We've come a long way! And it's been quite a journey, by no means exhaustive. So if you didn't hear about a show that you know was a big deal, don't worry! Its lack of inclusion isn't a commentary on my opinion. Your eyes are one of the gateways to your brain; be intentional about what you watch, C

OH MY WORD. I don't think I've ever done this before in 4+ years! I broadcast live, and recorded for on demand distribution, this entire episode and then completely forgot to actually DISTRIBUTE it what the crap Well, if you ever needed proof that the relative importance of things has next to no bearing on whether or not I'll remember them, this is it. Because this show is *very* important to me. And yet here we are ¯_(ツ)_/¯ Well anyway, please enjoy this discussion on beautiful places whenever it makes its way to you. I apologize for the delay! Thanks a million for your patience, C (good gracious i can't believe it)

Nope, it's not an accident. Yes, today's episode is similar in length to a voice text I might leave lol. Tell the air pressure to go back up :( C

Why twice in a row? Pop in and I'll tell you. We're making our way into the 80s and 90s today, and things are starting to get uncomfortable onscreen. (Uh oh!) Who do we think we are? C

We're making our way into the 70s and 80s. As the world changed, so did the way we attempted to represent ourselves. Big laughs, big aspirations, C

Back at it again with the pink thumbnail. Our SES (Summer Encouragement Series) continues- Grateful to be able to share these thoughts with you. One day at a time, C

It's not a wild assumption to figure that you might now or one day own at least one Apple device. And if that's the case, some of these things might be just what you need to make the use a little safer. There's so much going on, C

Make your life a little easier. It's tough out there, C

Back to more America trivia fun, though some of these do ask for some additional critical thought. It's not super great to insult someone on their bday, C

Perhaps it might be encouraging to you to consider the way the idea of abundance interacts with your life. Or the ways that it could? Our SES continues, giving us the chance to do just that. Don't take intentionality for granted, C

Which shows shaped the way America sees itself and the way the rest of the world sees it? There are several to consider. How many have you seen? You should be represented too, C

You only turn 250 once! So we're starting celebrating early :) How much do you know about the US? Enough to go on a quiz show?? Good luck, C

A little shorter today, thanks in advance for understanding. Not all the eastern islands (which of course is relative depending on where you currently are), but a particularly island nation whose ideals might benefit us all. Hang in there, C

A few directives that might be helpful to consider as we move into another installment of our SES (Summer Encouragement Series) I'm so grateful that you're here, C

Change is a given in life, and since it comes to us all, there are lots and lots of ppl who are going to experience it on a professional front. More than once! When's the last time you thought about what you'd like to do? There are some pretty interesting careers still available out there- Something to think about, C

Has something been keeping you from taking a trip on your own? It's more accessible than you think. Keep an open mind, C

I'm so stoked that we're doing this! We started earlier this Spring, going through challenging behavioral patterns that tend to plague some people, but that ultimately can be healed. We're continuing today. (Do I have this one??) You might not be a sibling, or an eldest, or even someone who identifies as female, but this is something that everyone needs to understand. So glad you're here. Take a load off for a little while, C

Good, nice, helpful, even altruistic social norms :) Thanks tons for being here, C

Please stop by, come in, sit down, and partake of some encouragement :) It might do ya some good, C

If there's a child or children in your life who you have impact or influence over, would you like the connections you have with them to remain into adulthood? Is that possible? It's possible to lose them, and many people do, but it's also possible to save and deepen them. Thanks for listening, C
