Summary

All of us have hard feelings that need somewhere to go — frustration, resentment, grief, the anxiety that just sits there and won't quite leave. And if you're anything like me, finding a reliable way to process any of it doesn't always come naturally. We push through, or we vent to someone who didn't necessarily sign up for it, or we just wait for the feeling to pass on its own. And sometimes it does. But sometimes it doesn't, and it just kind of settles in. This week's guest is Kim Christensen, a published writer and master's graduate in creative writing who has spent her career helping people find their voice — even people who never thought of themselves as someone who does that sort of thing. In this episode, you'll hear: ✏️ The surprising research on what just two minutes of a simple daily practice can do for your physical health — and why the numbers are bigger than you'd expect ✏️ Why the most healing version of this practice has absolutely nothing to do with being good at it ✏️ The one question Kim says you can answer today, even if you have no plan and no idea where to start So if you've been carrying something heavy lately and you're not quite sure where to put it, I hope this episode can offer a tool that can help.

0:00.0	This podcast is sponsored by KT by Nix. Every summer growing up, I went to a camp for the teenage
0:04.9	girls in my church. Campfire, silly songs, staying up way too late giggling. It was one of my favorite
0:10.3	weeks of the whole year. But if my period showed up that week, the joy of it dimmed a little,
0:14.8	because there was something so stressful about trying to be discreet with disposable supplies
0:19.3	when you're surrounded by other girls 24 hours a day.
0:22.4	As my own daughter approaches that season of life, I love that she won't have to think about any of that.
0:28.1	KT by Nix makes period underwear designed specifically for teen girls, different absorbencies for
0:33.5	every stage of the cycle, overnight styles, so no more 3 a.m. wake-ups with stained sheets,
0:38.8	and they look and feel like regular underwear. She can tuck a pair in her backpack, and she's
0:43.2	always prepared whatever the day brings. Reusable, discreet, and nothing to throw away. I wish I had
0:49.1	these when I was a teen. Finally, period protection that keeps up with long school days and everything
0:54.0	in between.
0:55.1	Check them out. Go to nixteen.com. That's K-N-I-X-teen.com and use code 3-30 for 15% off.
1:04.1	That's K-N-I-X-teen.com, code 3-N-30.
1:08.7	This podcast is sponsored by Shopify.
1:11.1	The behind-the-scenes business stuff is not my strong suit.
1:14.2	I am an ideas person, a people person, a let's talk about feelings person.
1:19.5	And the logistics of actually running an online shop, that part has always made my head spin a little.
1:26.2	When I created the Flexible Journal for Moms, I needed a platform that could quietly
1:30.6	handle everything I didn't want to think about, and Shopify has been exactly that.
1:35.7	Inventory, payments, analytics, marketing, all in one place so I can stay in my lane and
1:41.4	do what I actually love.
