In times when anyone on the Internet can have a soapbox, I use mine to share my thoughts in the hope that with compassion, empowerment, and a healthy dose of tough love, you will be inspired to become the person you should've been all along. Welcome to my hub of thoughts and ideas. Not for the faint of feeling.

Honour the space in-between

jeudi 29 juillet 2021 • Durée 06:35

We spend so much of our lives in between -- between milestones, between jobs, meetings, relationships, seasons of our lives, versions of ourselves. Isn't it time we get comfortable in the gap between where we left and where we're going?

Why do we love reality TV?

mercredi 21 juillet 2021 • Durée 08:15

Today I'm diving into my theory (which has probably been said before) about the appeal of trashy "reality" shows. No shame here, I'll never say no to a little Too Hot to Handle or The Circle or (unpopular favourite) Marriage or Mortgage.

Perfectionism: how to "work on yourself," part 1

jeudi 1 avril 2021 • Durée 19:57

What does it actually mean to be "working on myself"? This two-part series delves into this confusing but essential process.

TL;DR: Perfectionism is the armour that you think will protect you from seeming flawed to the rest of the world, but that is actually so heavy and cumbersome to carry around that it won’t even let you move. Be gentle with your flawed self, and the flawed selves of others. Also, read Brené Brown's books.

Thought experiment Thursday #1: eternal recurrence, evil demons, & falling in love

jeudi 25 mars 2021 • Durée 11:03

This week we dive into our happiest memories to answer Nietzsche’s eternal recurrence thought experiment! Also, we learn how to pronounce "Nietzsche." [I’m so sorry that I say the words “hold space” three times in this episode. I know it’s kinda gross and self-help-y but that was what resonated with me today.] Happy Thursday!

What I learned from the crash

vendredi 19 mars 2021 • Durée 11:35

Ever wondered where the picture on the cover of this podcast comes from? That story, and more. And happy 91st birthday to my one and only nonno! Thank you for your gentleness and for always staying near me no matter the distance.

In defence of comfort

mercredi 10 mars 2021 • Durée 07:06

I forgot to plug in my microphone and only realized after I was done, so I apologize if the audio sounds gross. This is my "gift of imperfection" for you today (Brené Brown would be so proud)! Now go forth and embrace your own imperfections!

You can also find me on TikTok but I'm not going to link it because it's cringy and I'd honestly pretend the account doesn't exist, so you can find it if you'd like, but I'm not gonna make it easy.

Favourite moment of this episode? "Your precious eyeballs." ... It tasted good in my head, but not in my mouth. Chloe, if you're reading this... you know.

Shut up about how busy you are

lundi 1 mars 2021 • Durée 07:05

Some tough love (and a dash of stoicism) to help you ward off the Sunday Scaries. Happy week 9; don't forget it's all optional and life is meaningless!

Sorry about how many times I say *y'all* in this episode. Also, sorry if the way I pronounce "exercise" aggravates you.

The absurd cyclicality of life

samedi 13 février 2021 • Durée 08:49

We were never meant to be bombarded with bids for our attention during every minute of our lives. But in today's attention economy, stillness, and idleness, is a skill and a talent.

This evening, we meditate on dishwashers, seasonal depression, and Truman Burbank (with spoilers).

Connect with me at theviewfrommysoapbox@gmail.com and tell me about the angst-inducing cycles in your life!

Happy reading week everybody. Yours,

Francesca
