Walking The Walk: Change for the Better

Welcome to Walking the Walk: Change for the Better a podcast about how changing your perspectives can lead to a better life if you let it. The things that I encounter in my job as a Health Promoter, a solo parent of a queer/non-binary/ADHD teenager and a partner trying to make long distance love work, all impact how I make my way through the world and sometimes that journey is in need of an improvement. If this sounds relatable, then hopefully the lessons I learn along those different paths, as I'm walking the walk will be too. We are all walking alongside each other, and if we can learn from one another along the way, it will have been a journey well spent.

When you think about control, what do you think about? How much you control? How little you control? How you wish you had more control? Well, if that's the case, welcome to the club! In this episode I take a look at what control is in theory and how chasing it when we should or shouldn't will determine how stressed you feel, how satisfied you feel or more appropriately, how crappy you might be feeling because you are choosing poorly, to quote the knight in that episode of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade - more on that in the episode. Changing that is really at the heart of this and hopefully you'll be able to relate.

Songs featured in this episode:

Control - Janet Jackson

Solsbury Hill - Peter Gabriel

Shake it Out - Florence and the Machine

Dog Days are Over - Florence and the Machine

Walking The Walk is written, recorded and produced by me - Charissa McKay (aka CharCharBinx) in my awesome basement home office/studio/craft room on Treaty 6 lands known originally as amiskwaciy-wâskahikan, meaning Beaver Hill House, in Nehiyawewin (Cree). There are other names, equally as meaningful, and I am grateful to those who were here before me, for the ability to call this place my home.
