Sure! Here's a concise 150-word show notes draft for Polly Campbell, Simply Said podcast, featuring the topic based on the revised feedback piece, with a Substack link included: Ep. XX – How to Take Feedback Without Falling Apart We all get feedback—at work, in relationships, sometimes from complete strangers. And while it's meant to help us grow, it can also sting, especially when we're already feeling stretched. In this episode, Polly talks about how to take in constructive criticism without letting it derail your confidence. Learn how to filter what's useful, stay grounded when it gets overwhelming, and use feedback as a tool for growth—not a reason to shut down. Because building a meaningful life isn't about getting it perfect—it's about learning as we go.

In this episode, we dive into the sneaky ways social comparison affects our well-being and holds us back from our most meaningful goals. It's easy to scroll, compare, and feel like we're falling behind—but that mindset keeps us stuck. We'll break down why comparison is so tempting, how it drains our confidence, and what to do when we catch ourselves spiraling. Expect practical strategies to shift your mindset, regain focus, and cultivate a healthier relationship with yourself.

"Hold the door, or hold your tongue," says Dr. Harry Cohen. Either act can be a way of helping others and bringing light to the world, instead of negativity and divisiveness. The psychologist and author of Be the Sun, Not the Salt, says when we consider the "heliotropic effect" and focus on nurturing, encouraging, and uplifting ourselves and others, we improve our own lives and make a positive difference in the lives of others. Through a series of practical examples and practices, Cohen talks about how we can create a positive morning ritual and adopt other habits to help ease negative feelings and uplift our moods even when the days are darker.

Popcorn brain is a term researchers use to explain the state of mind that is caused when we are constantly bombarded with information and digital interruptions. The onslaught of information causes us to pop around like popcorn kernels, from one place to the next, and that raises our stress, leads to feelings of overwhelm, and diminishes our productivity. It also makes it harder for us to focus and maintain our concentration at other times. But a few low-tech practices can help us minimize this "popcorn brain" effect and better manage our work and our stress. In this episode, Polly explains what's behind popcorn brain and how we can avoid it.

In the process, it can boost our well-being and help us manage the darker moods and symptoms of depression. It's not magic, of course. With the image of our future selves in mind, we must take consistent action to achieve our goals, but it's fun to fantasize and as we work to create the lives we want, we can discover the riches within ourselves.

It's easy to get locked into the daily routine and lose track of what makes us feel good, the things we enjoy doing. Whether is baking or learning a new language, going on a solo hiking trip, or taking a deep dive into music, whatever it is, the way back into life is to start exploring to discover what we love to do now, no matter our age or stage of life. It's O.K. to have fun, though we might have to experiment with new things to find what feels good now. That's the good part though, because that growth is expansive, exhilarating, and revitalizing. In this episode, Polly Campbell talks about how a recent transition in her life has her wondering what she likes NOW, and what we can all do to step out of our comfort zones and grow as a way of rediscovering what we enjoy. Some things we discuss? Daydreaming, mind mapping, and experimenting with activities we've always thought about but have been afraid to try--hello, kayaking. In the end, whether we enjoy the activity or not, the adventure and discovery help us grow and that always feels good.

What Voice Are You Listening To? Are listening to the fear or the voice of love? One keeps us stuck in trauma, anxiety, upset and has us reaching for things that temporarily make us feel better like food, alcohol, drugs, technology. The other helps us acknowledge our pain, so we can resolve it and past traumas and live in a place of compassion, growth, and peace. So what voice are you listening to? In this conversation addictions expert, psychotherapist, and author of The Healing Moment : 7 Paths to Turn Messes Into Miracles of Love, Dr. Donna Marks talks about the voices we all hear of fear and love and how we can choose which ones we listen to, transform our negative experiences, and live with greater self-love. When we do that, compassion, forgiveness, calm, and joy emerge and we take back control of our lives, instead of giving it up to negative thinking, actions, and addictions. Then, we begin creating the lives we want. In this conversation on Polly Campbell Simply Said with Dr.Donna Marks you will hear: How the voices of fear limit our growth and happiness. How we can identify the things that dim our ability to love ourselves and others so we can learn to soothe ourselves? How our relationships with others are a result of how we love ourselves and how we can replace our need for control--the voice of fear--for love.

What Happens When We Pause for Wonder? Consultant, teacher, and author of Tracking Wonder, Jeffrey Davis says curiosity, innovation, and wonder will not only lead to more joy and satisfaction but also help us through adversity, raise the level of our productivity and creativity, and help us flourish and it all starts with a mindful pause. Wonder, Davis says, is the ability and willingness to "heightened state of awareness. Instant mindfulness is brought about by something unexpected that either delights us, disorients us, or both. " Jeffrey Davis explains how we can track wonder by defining and detecting the downer pattern, opening up to the world, and feeling the patterns that hold us back, keeping us from curiosity and wonder, then seeking out wonder and expanding into it. When we do, we can recognize the elevating moments, the higher experience we also experience in life and that, changes how we think, behave, and create.

Do You Value Emotional Labor? Emotional labor is the unpaid and often undervalued work we do to manage feelings, expressions, and behaviors to support the emotional comfort of others. Sound familiar? It might look like a job that has a "customer is always right" policy, or regularly coming up with meal ideas and a shopping list or scheduling vet appointments and carpools, or calming the child after a bad dream. Perhaps you coordinate the office parties or always buy the presents and birthday cards for others to sign, maybe it's on you to curb racist inappropriate behavior in others. Emotional labor disproportionately falls on women, BIPOC communities, and disadvantaged groups not because these groups are so much better at anticipating the emotional and care needs of others, but because others have been socialized that it's someone else's job and they undervalue the importance of emotional labor. And the burden of emotional labor increases stress, burnout, resentment, and feelings of overwhelm and fatigue. But, we can learn to balance the emotional labor in our relationships so everyone can thrive and that's the topic on today's Polly Campbell, Simply Said.

Welcome to the 5th Season of Polly Campbell, Simply Said. Thanks for listening. I love doing the show, sharing these ideas, and connecting with you. Thanks for being a part of our community. -pc Have you misplaced your car keys lately, forgotten to return an email, missed an appointment, or have a hard time making decisions? Yep, sounds like Brain Fog, the absentmindedness when we often experience when we are under stress, feeling isolated, tired, or uncertain. It's no surprise that as we reemerge into the post-pandemic normal, many of us still feel spacey at times, forgetful, and inattentive. That can chip away at our productivity at work and leave us feeling a little off-balance and frustrated. In today's episode, Polly Campbell talks about the science-based approaches we can use to end the brain fog and feel better, more grounded, and more productive. Want some quick tips? Get moving. If you can get outside for a walk or stretch, but don't get caught behind your desk all day. Movement improves blood flow which carries oxygen to our brains and that helps us think straight. Or at least straighter. Be kind to yourself. Putting yourself down after a blunder or moment of forgetfulness isn't going to help your attention any, instead, it will add to your stress. Take a break between work and home. Even if you are working from a home office, you might want to add in some commute time before transitioning back. On this episode of Polly Campbell Simply Said, Polly explains what's behind those feelings that cause us to feel foggy and unfocused and the simple things we can do in our days to end it.

Grief doesn't diminish during the festive season of celebration and joy, says bereavement counselor and author of  Opening to Grief, Claire Willis. Often we feel it deeply during this time. And that's nothing to be ashamed of. Grief is an ongoing, normal, and natural response to loss. And it's OK to do what you need to cope with it this time of year--even if it means changing how you celebrate.  Polly Campbell: www.pollycampbell.com Claire Willis https://openingtogrief.com/

No doubt life is filled with challenging moments and battering adversity. Yet even in the most difficult moments, there can be growth and opportunity. Psychologists call it post-traumatic growth and many of us are experiencing it right now. Polly Campbell tells you how in this week's Simply Said. 

From the origins of Graeter's Ice Cream and the city's famed chili (and all its varieties), to some of our most acclaimed chefs and restaurants, a new book explores the history of food in Cincinnati.

I’m talking with Polly Campbell, author of How to Live an Awesome Life and You: Recharged, who is a great source of guidance for personal development in the real world. (And keeps it real for us lazy folks.)

Chef Jose Salazar was born in Colombia South America and was raised in Queens NY. Chef Salazar got his start in restaurants as a bartender and waiter at some of New York’s hottest establishments- among them, Donatella Arpia’s Bellini restaurant. Although the front of the house is where he started, it was the kitchen that really caught his eye. This prompted him to enroll in the culinary program at the New York Restaurant School. Upon graduating in 2001 he landed an internship with famed Chef Jean George Vongerichten at his namesake restaurant; Jean George. After completing the internship, he went on to work with some of New York’s most celebrated chefs and restaurateurs, including Geoffrey Zacharian of Town, Josh De’ Chellis of Sumile, and Eric and Bruce Bromberg of Blue Ribbon. However, it was Jose’s four years working with Chef Thomas Keller that made the most palpable impression on his cooking philosophies. In 2003 Jose was hired as chef de partie to be a part of the opening staff of the highly acclaimed Per-Se restaurant. Then in 2006, he was instrumental in the opening of another of Chef Keller’s projects; Bouchon Bakery, where he became the Executive Sous-Chef. In 2008, Chef Salazar took his knowledge and experience to Cincinnati Ohio, where he was tapped to be the Executive Chef of The historical Cincinnatian Hotel and Palace restaurant. It’s there that Jose was able to hone his style of cooking, incorporating the ingredients and techniques of the Americas, Europe, and Japan. Since his arrival to the Queen City, Jose has received many favorable reviews, including 5 stars (the highest rating) from Polly Campbell of The Cincinnati Enquirer. He’s also garnered national attention- In 2011 Food and Wine magazine awarded him the title of people’s choice “Best New Chef”. In December of 2013 Chef Salazar and his wife Ann opened Salazar, their much-anticipated restaurant in the Over the Rhine neighborhood of Cincinnati. Immediately after opening it was clear that Salazar was going to be an instant hit. Their modern bistro is packed nightly with diners eating foods such as duck rillettes, fried oyster sliders, rib-eye steaks, and veal tongue al’a plancha. This little forty-five seater, while just around three years old is recognized as one of the best in the city by the dining public and critics alike. In August of 2015, Jose and Ann opened Mita’s, a 135 seat restaurant located in the heart of downtown Cincinnati. This restaurant features the food and drinks of Spain and Latin America with a formal but laid back design. In just a year and a half Mita’s has already set it’s self apart with wonderful food, service, and ambiance. It has received praise from countless publications, both locally and nationally. Chef Salazar and Mita’s have received nominations for “Best Chef”, Great Lakes from the prestigious James Beard Foundation in 2016 and 2017. Chef Salazar is currently in the process of opening up a new eatery this summer (2019) called Goose and Elder.

Where does this need to be perfect come from? And how can I release the 'should have's' to live and love in the moment? Polly Campbell will call you out on the things you've been trying to hide, fix, change and deny about yourself and show you how those exact things may be the very things that will expand and elevate your life. Plus you have just got to hear the raisin up the nose story!

Pulling a raisin out of a two-year-old’s nose probably wasn’t on Buddha’s path toward enlightenment, but it was one of the obstacles for author Polly Campbell. For many, stuck raisins and other real-life moments provide sometimes the only opportunity for spiritual growth in a day. Imperfect Spirituality shows us how to integrate those every-day moments with traditional spiritual techniques to experience personal growth and greater well-being all in the course of your regular routine. Any activity can be transformed into a spiritual practice. Don’t have a half-hour to meditate? Can't drop everything ala Elizabeth Gilbert and trek to Italy or India? Do a mini-meditation while standing in line. Working to be mindful and present? Start by brushing your teeth. Imperfect Spirituality: we'll be discussing practical tips and dozens of examples like these, as well as anecdotes from real people who are striving to grow both spiritually and personally. Featuring fascinating research about how the mind body spirit connection really works as well as illuminating quotes and informative, easy-to-do takeaways from leading-edge academic and spiritual experts who both study, and practice, these techniques. Popular blogger and workshop facilitator Polly Campbell, a favorite journalist for Daily Om and Psychology Today, emerges here as a fresh and important new voice in spirituality who offers a path to enlightenment for "the rest of us."

Polly Campbell shares her book, Imperfect Spirituality: Extraordinary Enlightenment for Ordinary People, and looks deeply into the long held beliefs shared by society; we must work to be perfect. She defies this belief gently, first with compassion towards her daughter and then to herself and humanity. She brings the lesson of an imperfect spiritual journey to the show today. A resident from Oregon, Ms. Campbell is a writer for PsychologyToday.com and ImperfectSpirituality.com. She is also an instructor for the Daily Om. Campbell shares, “When the world seems a mess of mismatched socks and stressful moments, a spiritual connection offers solace.” http://imperfectspirituality.com/
