When I started the Love Handles podcast, I unintentionally labeled them seasonally, as in, at a certain point, the podcast would end to pick up again for another season later. The thing with setting things up seasonally is it allows for pauses, and moments to clarify, create, expand and breathe new life into something, which is exactly why this sea…

Welcome back to Thursdays with Love Handles. I know this month is all about change, but lately, everything seems to float in the air, instead of progressing forward—meaning "Change Month" is a bust. In actuality, I guess the greatest way to embrace change is to just allow things to progress naturally, and embrace the chaos, rather than try and cont…

This week's episode of Love Handles is sort all over the place. It's the first time in a long time that I decided to stick my head into le sound booth without a clear idea of what I would say once I was in there. This has happened, maybe once before, but once I sat down and pressed record, words started pouring out of me. Some of them, I don't even…

Hi ppl! Thank you so much for taking the time to listen to my podcast! I really appreciate the love and support. This week is all about being connected, and tbh, I get a little emotional about it. Without saying too much, this podcast is all about getting back to our roots and getting connected with the environment. I took a listen to an NPR podcas…

That's right folks, you heard it here, first.After hibernating for the winter, it's (un)officially time to get everything else in our lives together so that we can enter into the summer months full speed ahead. I mean, its already April 12th, so the month is almost halfway through, but that doesn't mean that it isn't possible to use the lessons we'…

I cannot believe that I have actually kept up with releasing a podcast every week for the past month or so! It's crazy because I have very real moments of not wanting to do it, or feeling like I am speaking into the void of existence that is radio. Every time I feel this reluctance to record, I decide to just record and see what happens, and usuall…

This week's episode of Love Handles is pretty weird: I recorded it on my recently purchased microphone with a slight hangover from simply not drinking enough water the day before, after procrastinating for like, a week to finally make it, and yet, it is an episode about productivity and accomplishments. I know that sounds rather paradoxical, but mo…

"Life and death are in the power of the tongue," some ancient scripture states. So why are we just throwing words around carelessly? I went running this week for the first time in a really long time and when I found myself just shy of giving up, I changed my playlist and turned on Beyoncé. She represents everything I want to be: strong, brave, conf…

Do you have a problem with consistency? It might be because you are really out of touch with your future self, or it might be because you need a wake-up call. Either way, this week's podcast is all about consistency and the source for finding a way to remain consistent in your endeavors. I've had a hard time this past week just trying to be hopeful…

Is conscious consumerism even possible? A good question to ask when it pertains to environmentalism and buying things, but what about all of the information we consume? With an influx of social media, music streaming, and information, how do we filter out the good and bad, get to the context behind the work, and develop clear lines of thought to un…

This week starts off kind of where last week ended, actually, maybe it's more like a continuation of last weeks episode. I've been thinking a lot about using your platform for good no matter how large or how small, and in light of the Jewish holiday Purim, I feel like there is no better time to start than right now. People talk about using whatever…

This week's monologue was inspired by the recent shooting that took place in Parkland, Florida, and covers how social media, although helpful in getting the message out there, seems to make us fall short in spurring us to take action.Although I am very aware that there are a myriad of reputable and much further-educated opinions, i.e., anything fro…

Love Handles will cover a range of topics that include but are not limited to feelings, feelings, what it's like to have feelings, what it's like to feel feelings, and why I feel like without talking about my feelings I will never get anything done.So do me a solid and take a listen, make me feel like you are truly my best friend, and redeem a part…
