In part 2, we continue our discussion on perfectionism (Sierra’s shows up in an unexpected but common way!), and delve into how perfectionism is steeped in white supremacy. Lauren & Marlees bond over how the pandemic has changed their working lives, and Sierra shares her desires for a more understanding corporate America. We finish off the episode with learning more about Lauren’s career! You can follow Lauren at @laurenruthmartin!

    128 with Lauren Ruth Martin Pt. 1 - Perfectionism, Forgetting, & Drinking Water

    128 with Lauren Ruth Martin Pt. 1 - Perfectionism, Forgetting, & Drinking Water

    This week on the Sticky Thoughts, we don't have a popstickle! We spoke on a situation that is rapidly changing and that we didn't have all the information on. We didn't want to put out a segment that didn't accurately reflect the complexities of the situation or our views on them. 

    Then in Part One of our interview with  Lauren Ruth Martin of A Novel Life Podcast and Novel Counseling joins us and we immediately become long lost friends. We discuss Real Housewives and white privilege and consider quitting the Bachelor. Lauren shares her work with Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy (RODBT), correctly identifies Marlees as over controlled and Sierra as under controlled, and truly helps us better understand our relationship! We delve into the roots of perfectionism and how it puts all of us in boxes. Lauren's work with anxiety, depression, and perfectionism is important - especially during the pandemic! Hear more about Lauren and her work next week in part 2! Check out Lauren's podcast A Novel Life and her counseling services at https://www.novelcounseling.com

    In Mariella's TikTok Corner, Mariella highlights crochet artist Kopy Kalii. Her work brings joy! Support her work here! https://kopydolls.com . Marlees is sticking with water, supported by amazing lavender tumblers. Sierra is squashing the need to remember everything!

    127 - Engagements, ADHD, Intuition & Novelty

    127 - Engagements, ADHD, Intuition & Novelty

    Before you hear this episode, we want to let you know it was recorded on January 5th, 2021. You won't hear us talking about the insurrection of white supremacist Trump supporters on January 6th, 2021... yet. Like many of you, we are taking time to process, educate, and take care of ourselves and we hope you are doing the same. 

    In our first episode of 2021, we recap our holidays, Sierra is still tired and Marlees is engaged! We get back into our long missed Popstickle with two creative picks. Using the Reface app led Sierra to a revelation about self confidence and Marlees has learned to take the moral value out of cleaning through the TikTok content of KC Davis (@domesticblisters). 

    We talk in depth about ADHD - how it looked for middle school Sierra and how it looks now. Marlees recounts the time a woman called her voice annoying (look at me now lady!) and Mariella marvels at the biological reactions folks with ADHD and Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria experience! Sierra and Marlees describe how RSA played into a recent text conversation. Sierra describes her experience with medication and Marlees and Sierra recall how she almost her passport in Montreal. 

    In Mariella's TikTok corner, she describes how woman are dealing with the backlash to the Megan Thee Stallion "Body" dance trend. Sierra is sticking with novelty and Marlees' word of the year is intuition.

It’s like you are chatting with your gal pals

Listening to Marlees and Sierra is the highlight of my week. It helps me avoid those Sunday Scaries and they make me think about the world around me in a different way. Just love them both and their banter. It’s just the best. 💗
