The Bronze Medal Life

Ep 10: Building Community with Cadre

Colleen invites her friend and founding member of Cadre a mental health app on the pod to discuss how she became part of Cadre, how you can engage with Cadre, and what Cadre is all about. Join Cadre here. 

Ep 9: Joy is Contagious

Here's how it feels when someone (or many people) try to steal your joy. It doesn't feel good, and it can be a battle to hang on to it. Colleen shares a personal story in a mega-vulnerable way.

Ep 8: Creating Moments

All you need is yourself and your attention to create important moments for people in your life. When you knit these moments together, life becomes richer.

Ep 7: You are NOT an Apology!

A few years ago, I realized that I was walking into rooms apologizing every single time I showed up. As though I was apologizing for existing. There is a place for sorry, but YOU are not an apology. 

Ep 6: It's Probably Not You

Do you ever think that you're the problem? When a friend pulls back a little, or someone seems to be acting funny, do you assume you must have done something to cause it? Colleen wants you to know that you are probably not the problem. 

Ep 5: Self-Care Makes Me Cringe

The term self-care is so amorphous. Because of that, it can feel a little overwhelming to be told when you're overwhelmed that you need to practice self-care. What even is that? Colleen works through that and other random Bronze Medal Life thoughts... 

Ep 4: Don’t Measure Others With Your Yardstick

Colleen talks about a new concept her daughter taught her, sonder, and relates that to the practice of not using your own yardstick to measure others. 

Ep 3: Ordinary Blessings with Meta Herrick Carlson

Colleen invites her friend author and pastor Meta Herrick Carlson to talk about her book series Ordinary Blessings. Meta's gift of observing life as it is lived and blessing the ordinary is a full bronze medal vibe. 

Ep 2: Lowering The Bar on the Holidays

With the holiday season in full swing, Colleen shares how she learned to lower the bar on the holiday season. 

Ep 1: Halloween Scrooge and Sad Lion
