Readers, Help Me “Choose My Adventure”

By Marrie Koch December 28, 2021

Between grad school and a pandemic, I feel like Steve Rogers coming out of the ice: confused and out of touch with the world around me.

Well, I suck at resolutions and positive affirmations, but I am good with a challenge or task to complete. So, I have decided to create a new project for myself with your help!

5 Life Lessons From Children’s Literature You May Have Forgot

By Rachel Riendeau November 19, 2020

There are stories we read as children that stick to our bones and help us learn tough lessons that are easier to digest when told through a toy rabbit or a silly old bear. We bury them deep inside of our hearts and often they are forgotten, their origins a distant memory.

We know the lessons, but we tend to forget the friends that taught them to us. They are some of the most reliable things on earth; always true, always constant. A touchstone we can place in our palm to remind us what we’ve always known.

What I Learned From Toy Story 4 and My Therapist

By Beatrice Longshore July 15, 2019

I was diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) two years ago, although it is a psychological disorder that I have suffered with for my entire life. It often takes the form of indecision (because what if I choose the wrong thing??), an over-sensitivity to the responses and emotions of others, and regular panic attacks in situations with too much stimulation.

Episode 041: Self Care with Geek Girl Strong

By Jordan Ellis November 29, 2018

This episode is sponsored by LoganArch.

Welcome back, Sartorial Geeks! This week, we sat down to chat with Robyn Warren of Geek Girl Strong! If you’ve listened to episode 3 and/or 16, you’re probably familiar with Robyn and her career as a personal trainer and wellness coach. (Or maybe you just recognize her as a Jordandené model!)

While that’s great for the people who want to go that route, that’s not all self-care is!
