Announcing Q & A Tuesdays! When I started the show my intention was to build real relationships with YOU out there in the world. Send in all your questions related to Radical Self-Care. No question is off-limits or too much. Think, Dear Abby or Dear Sugar Radio, and then send your questions to Dear Monica! I want to give you exactly what you want and need to hear on the show! My goal is to do one Q&A Tuesday show every month. Email your questions to inhabitpodcast@monicaballard.com. I can't wait to get your questions! Today I am celebrating the birth of a project I have been working on for some time! Announcing the opening of the INHABIT Self-Love Community Lab. The Lab is a community of women devoted to living a life devoted to Radical Self-Care so they are fully empowered & energized to give their deepest gifts to the world.  We gather in our private forum that lives off of facebook and has it's own app! No more getting screen-sucked while trying to practice Self-Care! The Lab is where we support and uplift one another in applying practices of Radical Self-Care to our daily lives and relationships. Never feel lost and alone on your path again!  You also get access to me offering the coaching insight you need; both in our private online Lab, and during our once-a month calls. Benefit from the power of a group while still receiving the personal coaching attention you desire. We aren’t just learning it, we are BECOMING IT! I   On our monthly calls we will explore: *  What is a Radical Self-Care mindset? *  How do you weave Radical Self-Care into your existing daily habits & routines? * How do you want to FEEL every day of your life? *  The power & benefits of connecting with your tribe * The actionable steps you can take to practice Radical Self-Care in every area of your life; making it possible for you to be the most integrated, highly aligned version of yourself in a world that needs your light! Try it FREE for 30 Days!   Today's episode is on the subject of friendship. I've wanted to do a show on friendship for a while now and its been heavy on my heart, but I wasn't ready until now! I feel like the isolation and busy-ness of our modern lives create the perfect storm for putting strain on our friendships.  We are giving so much already, making time for our friends can feel exhausting, and like one more task on the to-do list…even when we really love and adore our friends. Women need one another. We need to be seen and heard by our sisters going through the same challenges and joys of life. We need to be listened to and understood in a way that the men in our lives can’t understand us.  We need the the acceptance and support that only sisterhood brings.  I believe that our healthy friendships with our soul sisters makes a huge impact on the quality of our love relationships!  It gives us an opportunity to unpack the challenges of intimacy, and to vent and to process- so that we can go back and practice consciously, progressively loving our partners….without being in a state of reactivity.   Women keep us sane. They keep us healthy. So why are friendships so challenging?  We are just human beings BECOMING.  We change. We go thru seasons where we are less available physically and emotionally. I believe that is all natural, and perfectly ok.  I believe that just like in intentional, conscious loving- we can apply the principles of commitment and Radical Honesty to our friendships and receive tremendous benefit and rewards.  Today I want to share about an experience I’ve had within my relationships with women; I call it, The Curse of the Strong Friend. I wrote this out in blog post format as well, and I’ll post a link to it in the show notes. I really want your feedback on this episode! I believe we have all been the Strong Friend, and the Other at different times in our lives. I would love to hear your stories and your thoughts.  And may we learn to love and cherish our sisters, because we need one another. I am only as free as my sisters.

This episode is about those moments in life when you have no idea how you got here, whether to stay or go, or where to go next. Allison Langer, student in the class and host for this episode, asks the questions most of us struggle with. Did you land that dream job that turned out to be not so dreamy? Do you wish you lived somewhere else but can't afford to move? Do you wonder what life would be like if you could just finish school already? Have you ever reached that point when you're not sure you want to go on at all? Writing Class Radio teacher, Andrea Askowitz forces Diego, our audio producer to write stories in class, then finish the stories at home. Finally, at the end of the 2nd semester, Diego did his homework. He reads his story What Next? Allison asks Diego why he didn't ask his former editor for a recommendation. Diego confesses that he messed up a few times and did not feel confident his editor would give him a good recommendation. Even though it was his first job, he felt like he couldn't mess up. Diego wonders if he should just give up freelance audio to become a bartender, a much less stressful job. He was not the only person with this question. Three other students in the class were also uncertain they were on the right path. Nicki Post, student in the class and a regular on the podcast, tells the story of leaving city after city and starting over, which worked until she found a group of friends in Miami she didn't want to leave. Nicki's stories got Allison thinking about why people leave: college, new job, marriage, divorce, failure. In Diego's case, fear prevents him from leaving. In Nicki's case, fear causes her to leave. Student Missy Hernandez tells us about a time she felt she had nowhere left to go. Her mom took her to the psych emergency room when she had thoughts about killing herself. Karen Collazo, a student in the class is in her 30's, had the great job in NYC and was miserable. She reminds us of Noelle Hancock, who left a $95,000 writing job in NYC to scoop ice cream in St. John. Noelle wrote an essay for cosmo.com. There's more Karen on our blog at www.writingclassradio.com. Diego and Allison talked about the imposter syndrome? That feeling where you think you don't deserve your job because you're not good at it. Cheryl Strayed, author of Wild and the host of the podcast Dear Sugar Radio, said she feels like an imposter, so did Gretchen Rubin, the author of The Happiness Project.

I'm Obsessed with Tony Robbins, Tim Ferriss, Steve Almond, and my Spin Instructor

This episode is about obsessions. Andrea Askowitz, the teacher of the class speaks to Allison Langer, co-producer and student in the class. They discuss what she learned from the Tim Ferriss podcast when he interviewed Tony Robbins. Allison heard Robbins say, “Rejection breeds obsession.” And, ”The parent whose attention you were trying to get is the person who shaped you.” Andrea talks about how at the dinner table growing up, her dad would tell her to cut to the chase. That led to her obsession with getting her dad's attention and everyone else's. Basically old rejection-wounds create obsessions. And obsessions create our best stories. We asked our listeners what they're obsessed with: Karen Tolchin said, “Mermaids. I think it's about wanting a girl. Or to be a girl again, in a different, glitter-spun way. Carol Coombes said, “Philately.” Which sounded dirty so we looked up. It means stamp collecting. Carol's particularly obsessed with stamps about film, children, flowers, architecture. Not dirty, but everyone's entitled to their obsessions. Emily Isabel Arauz said, “My hopefully-future wedding.” Rabbi Jamie Aklepi said, “I am obsessed with Dairy Queen's vanilla cone dipped in chocolate shell. For 45 years I have ordered only that at Dairy Queen. I try to order something else - but I can't. Why? A vanilla cone dipped in chocolate shell is the best ice cream to cone to chocolate ratio.” Now we're also obsessed with the vanilla, chocolate dip. Steve Almond is a special guest on today's show. He's one of our favorite teachers. He's the author of at least 10 books, including Candy Freak and Against Football and co-host along with Cheryl Strayed of the podcast Dear Sugar Radio. Andrea sat down with him to talk about his obsession with obsessions. He says obsessions are just our way of paying close attention to our desires. So, rather than view our obsessions as some sick, unhealthy thing, Steve thinks of obsessions as expressions of who we are. He also says you are the right guide to lead us through your obsession. Which is to say, you're the only one who can tell your story. Allison Langer tells a story that takes place in her spin class. She is obsessing over her spin instructor, until she realizes she's still obsessed with Gerald, her ex-boyfriend, who died two years ago. Allison met Gerald five years ago in a spin class. They became friends, reserved bikes next to each other, and fell in love. Now when she sees a man who wears sneakers without socks or a bald man, she thinks of Gerald. One of our listeners, Melanie Merriman, a long-time student of Andrea's and a participant in Steve Almond's class about obsessions, shares a story about a childhood fear. Another listener, Jennifer Dertouzos sent in a voice memo of an obsession that calms her the way only yoga can calm her.Writing Class Radio is a podcast where you'll hear true personal stories and learn a little about how to write your own stories.

This week's episode is a special one - brilliant writers Cheryl Strayed and Steve Almond are actually hosts of another podcast, Dear Sugar Radio, and they are so excellent at banter and speaking articulately that all I had to do was get out of the way and let them do their thing. And I'm so glad I did. You probably know Cheryl Strayed from her memoir, #1 New York Times Bestseller, Wild; she is also the author of Tiny Beautiful Things, Torch, and Brave Enough. Steve Almond is the author of CandyFreak, My Life in Heavy Metal, God Bless America, and many other terrific books. Our conversation was far-ranging, and I really got the sense that these two understand the practice of writing to be an exploration of human nature, and of human experience. It was lovely to hear the wisdom they bestowed during their break from the Esalen Writer's Camp they organized. Be sure to check out their podcast, Dear Sugar Radio, an existentialist and compassionate take on the age-old form of the advice column.
