• Goofballs Unite (The Body Image Anthem)
    Jun 22 2021

    For all the peeps who are not into rap but want to shake their booty to original music made by yours truly I give you

    Goofballs Unite!

     

    What’s a revolutionary thing to do?

    It’s to badly dance in your truth

    Unconcerned with a perfect appearance

    Or propagating eternal youth

     

    Do you remember what you didn’t do?

    All in the name of being cool?

    Don’t waste tonight and realise

    The marketing slogans made you shy

     

    If you look at me from behind

    It’s not a twerk that you will find.

    Got no idea what my ass is doing

    but I am having a great time.

     

    You’ve skipped leg day all your life

    your squats are shaky

    but the groove’s divine

    Hit the dancefloor

    don’t be shy

     

    Goofballs ahoi, let’s unite

     

    (Bridge)

    There they are

    smirking away

    Eyerolls rolling

    throwing shade

    Sometimes they’re

    just in your thoughts

    They should never

    call the shots

    In their world

    they’re the height of cool

    Unless they change

    they peak at school

    How bizarre would it be

    to let losers determine your destiny?

     

    My jiggly bits wrote half this song

    how dare I praise ‘em? That’s so wrong

    Imagine me having the gall

    A big girl that claims space at all

     

    Hey I bust out of my seams

    still got plenty of self-esteem

    Hit the dancefloor, don’t be shy

    Goofballs ahoi, let’s unite

     

    The most revolutionary thing to do

    Is to badly dance in your truth

    Unconcerned with a perfect appearance

    Or propagating eternal youth

     

    When you’re connected to your bliss

    How will they sell their stupid shit?

    How will they keep on ruling you?

    If you live the values that you choose?

    This episode was inspired by a conversation I had with a friend about her teenage daughter. While body image is particularly hard to navigate in your teens even as adults many of us struggle. Today we'll talk about why multiple perspectives are important, what doesn't help, and what I call the offense and the defense.

  • 120 - The Power of Ritual with Casper Ter Kuile - The Positive Psychology Podcast
    Jul 9 2020

    Casper ter Kuile is on a mission to build a world of joyful belonging and one of the ways to get there are rituals. In times of trouble and change rituals can give us something to replenish our physical, mental and spiritual resources. Casper and I chat about how rituals are different from habits, how we can find rituals that really are an expression of our true self and that even the most mundane objects, such as milk cartons, can be used to engage more deeply with life. I've been wanting to chat to Casper since 2016 because he's someone who is truly invested in bringing innovation to spirituality. He is also the host of a hugely popular podcast called "Harry Potter and the Sacred Text". Long term listeners might recognize this podcast as the other creator Vanessa Zoltan talked about it back in 2016 on episode 89.
