Where the Forest Meets the Stars by Glendy Vanderah

“You don’t have to say anything.”
He sat back in his chair. “I won’t. As always, words fail when you most want to say the right thing.” “People think they have to say something, and it never makes me feel better.”
“I know. I’ve decided language isn’t as advanced as we think it is. We’re still apes trying to express our thoughts with grunts while most of what we want to communicate stays locked in our brains.”

Ep 82. Problems Are Forever

301

Today, we’re diving into a concept that might seem paradoxical at first: “Problems are Forever.” But before you hit pause or wonder if I’ve suddenly embraced pessimism, bear with me. We’re not here to wallow in the gloom of perpetual problems. Instead, we’re about to embark on an exploration of how every challenge, setback, & curveball life throws us is lighting our way to becoming the extraordinary people we’re destined to be. Buckle up, because this transformative perspective is backed by insights from modern-day experts as well as LDS wisdom. Today’s episode encourages to be problem-solvers & life-levelers. It’s pretty exciting!

Ep 81. Clean Your Room

165

Today’s topic is that gentle nudge we all need: Clean Your Room. If you’re like me, you tend to go in cycles. I’m pretty good at keeping things clean, but now and then I get thrown off my groove and I need to get myself back on track. I’m sure if I went back and closely looked at the patterns in my life I would see a correlation between times of my inner turmoil and the times I let my spaces fall into disorder. I’m willing to bet it’s the same with you and we’re going to get into reasons behind that today.

Ep 80. Take The Leap

178

Today is Leap Day, that elusive extra day we get once every four years. Leap Day is a reminder that sometimes life gives us an extra moment, a bonus chance to step outside our comfort zones and embrace change. Today’s episode is all about taking that leap – whether it’s in your personal or professional life, or maybe even a leap of faith. Let’s seize new opportunities with gusto!

Ep 79. Beating Boredom

283

Today we’re exploring a universal experience that often gets a bad rap: boredom. Picture this – it’s a lazy afternoon, the clock is ticking slowly, and you find yourself staring at the ceiling, unsure of how to fill the time. Maybe you have so much going on that your brain shorts out for a while. So you avoid everything and boredom from the monotony of your routine sets in. It’s a mental state we’ve all encountered, and while it may seem mundane, boredom shapes our lives in surprising ways. We’ll go through it all. 

Ep 77. When You Don’t Like Someone

198

Today, we’re tackling a topic we’ve all experienced – those moments when you just can’t muster up warm fuzzies for someone. We’ve all been there, right? Whether it’s your quirky neighbor with a lawn gnome obsession or that colleague who thinks sending emails in all caps is a great idea. How do we handle these situations without letting negativity take over? What if our feelings go deeper than that? Well, Peeps, today we’re going to explore all of it.

Ep 72. Cactus Hugs And Buffalo Storms

228

Today, I have two different metaphors to offer you: the idea of Hugging The Cactus and nature’s example of Buffalo Running Into The Storm. Life, much like a desert, presents challenges that can feel as prickly as a cactus, yet by facing them head-on, we discover the strength to endure and overcome.
