Podcast Recap

Despite strong winds keeping me off of the mountain, I celebrate 6 years of Compulsive Overeating Diary. Mark and I have a great time with Magician, Bryan Saint at the Magic Castle. I ponder why disappointment doesn’t sting as much as it used to. BC Mary calls the Bravery Hotline to update us about her journey and shares a great resource. New BC Yulia from Russia writes in now that she’s caught up with all of the episodes. BCs Joy and Carrie comment on Day 181. BCs Fionna and Svetlana are having fun with Color Street nails. Even though I feel like a beauty klutz, I try them and Mark reacts. Today’s dance moment is called Figure it Out and it’s a fun and quirky ditty I chose because it put a BIG smile on my face.

I take a photo to prove, even I, beauty klutz Laurie, can get my Color Street dry nail polish nails on!

Yulia from Russia* who kindly wrote via email that she’s been listening for years.

    Happy 6th Podcastaversary! I just wanted to say I really enjoyed this episode on dealing with disappointment. Regardless of the struggles you encounter, you have always come across very positive in all your podcasts. Thank you for all the positive reinforcement! I’m glad your cold is better, but it’s too bad that Mark caught it. (Loved his response to your lovely nails, a typical man response, I think!) Hope he feels better soon!

      Thank you Carrie! It was fun to celebrate – despite my disappointment at not going up the mountain. I love that I come across as a positive person in the show, because I try to be as real as I can, and for most of my life, I was a true Eeyore. My mom even called me “Laurie-Ore” as a reference. But as I discovered, much of life is perception. And once I chose to see things in a more positive light, it changed my mood and how I presented myself to the world. And once I expected good things, either more good things presented themselves – or I noticed them more. I also laughed at poor Mark’s response to my nail. Pretty Mark-like, but a great effort given he was so sick. Poor guy. All he knows is he likes my hair long and brown because that’s how it was when he met me. Just takes more effort these days to keep up my image. All else is invisible to him. xoxoxoxox

    Thank you for another insightful episode Laurie! And happy 6 year anniversary! I am so glad you started this journey and decided to share it with others! Once again I can relate to so much of what you said – including the plantar fasciitis lol – mine has recently flared up again after I fractured my foot and it’s the worst it’s ever been!
    I started out in life up to my twenties a very positive person – I was always happy. Then life happened and instead of keeping my positive attitude I started to see all the negative. I am trying to get back to it authentic optimistic self but it’s hard – I’ve had another twenty years of the negative thinking imprinted on my brain now!
