Being Okay with the Mess

24m · Good Day with Ray · 11 Apr 11:53

In today's episode, I talk about struggling with wanting to scrub the podcast and start all over. This is something I've done in the past and I'm tempted to do, again. However, this morning I asked myself, "What am I hoping to accomplish by this?"

"What feeling am I thinking it will bring me?"

The conclusion was I wanted to look more put together than I am. I thought taking down a bunch of episodes, starting over fresh, and making new episodes would give me the clarity I am searching for.

But then I realized, simply making episodes will give me the clarity I'm looking for and letting people see my messy journey is okay.

The episode Being Okay with the Mess from the podcast Good Day with Ray has a duration of 24:32. It was first published 11 Apr 11:53. The cover art and the content belong to their respective owners.

Going No Contact

This is an episode inspired by some private conversations I've been having. It's come up quite a bit so I'm hoping this could offer one (of many) perspectives you may want to hold around going "no contact".

#1 Spiritual Icks: "Family"

Today's episode is a recording of a video I put on TikTok about a perspective I have about using the word "family" to describe spiritual communities.

I present information about how using this word is typically used in a harmless way and is mostly well-meaning but in some cases can be harmful. It is also a word choice used strategically by some cults.

I am not the word police. Continue to use any words you like in your practice and follow anyone you like if they use this word. My intention was to share my perspective and discomfort around it and validate those of us who have weird feelings about it and/or validate you if you've been feeling weird about using this word in your practice.

Have a great day. Talk soon.

Money Saving Tip I Tried... But Don't Know if I Liked It

I'm on a journey to getting out of an absurd amount of debt. As a result, I'm trying a bunch of new things and this one included a tip from a creator on how to save money.

In this episode, I tell you what I tried and how I would tweak it next time.

Listen for the Lie: A Book Review

This is my first book review on the podcast. I've been postponing it because I don't think it's a good "first" review but I hope to do more and get better.

If you've been looking for a book to read, this one is like Thriller meets True Crime podcast.

I listened to the audible version and enjoyed the podcast parts in it. Made me wish they recorded a whole fake podcast to supplement the book.
