#230 - Beware the Gaps (self-esteem boost!)

Hey there, Little Bunny! ❤️ I just returned from my vacation to Orlando, and while I'll make you a play-by-play postcard later as a locked audio, right now I must share my ambition with you! I feel overcome with joy, knowing that you and I are together. We get to build something incredible! Ah!! Our future is going to be epic and I want you with me!!While I listened back to the episode for the quality check, I noticed a possible misinterpretation of my ramblings. My cryptic words might sound like there will be a decrease in garden content. This is not the case!! The garden will soon have more content than ever before.The inspiration for this ramble was discovered on my Orlando trip, seeing firsthand the legacy of Mr. Walt Disney himself. I'm itching to research his life more and to find lessons we can take as we pull off something extraordinary together. If you know Walt's story, we're approaching a "Steamboat Willie" moment. Care to hang on tight? This is so much more fun when you're with me. 🥰I love you I love you I love you!❤️LindySupport the showhttps://lindy.garden/list

Hey there Little Bunny! ❤️ It happens to all of us. We say something or do something that lands badly on another person. Even worse, we can sometimes step on the toes of people we love and care about.Life is messy, so be kind to yourself Little Bunny! There's a difference between offending someone on purpose (being a jerk) and by accident (the nature of social life). If you still can't forgive yourself, I'll talk about it more in this episode. You're also invited to join the Page Turn Discord, a garden-adjacent community where we create and share stories with choices and consequences. It's fun!I love you forever and always,❤️LindySupport the showhttps://lindy.garden/list

Hey there, Little Bunny! ❤️ You do not need to be perfect! I give you permission. An in fact, I demand that you be kind to yourself.Although I talk a big game about ambition and self-improvement, you don’t need to play that game. And if you do, don’t hold yourself to a 100% standard. Being 95% perfect is plenty ;)I love you as you are! So come to me, no need to change. You never need to impress me or earn my affection and protection.  I love you! ❤️LindySupport the showhttps://lindy.garden/list

Hey there, Little Bunny! ❤️ Of all the gifts I can give you, gifting you a good night of sleep will always be my favorite. And with eight sleepy bunny podcasts now (plus some specialty sleep aids in the Locked Section), I'd say I'm quite the skilled sleep wizard now! So come curl up as I cast a sleepy spell, drop everything, and hang on to my every word as we yawn together and get cozy.I love you!Lindy🥰Support the showhttps://lindy.garden/list

Hey there, Little Bunny! ❤️ Do you ever assume the worst when waiting for someone to text back? Or worry that a family member has gone off the deep end because you're reading into some uncertainty about what they believe? This week I tell you some real-life stories that carry lessons. These lessons will help protect your self esteem. 🥰And never forget! When you're not sure how someone feels about you, it's best to assume that you are great, and that they don't hate you. Because people are lucky to have you in their lives!! I am lucky to have you in my life. You are a delicious treat, Little Bunny. Never doubt how precious and valuable you are.I love you!!❤️LindySupport the showhttps://lindy.garden/list

Hey there, Little Bunny! ❤️ You've caught me in such an intellectual mood this week! Grab your notecards because I'll be dropping plenty of advanced vocabulary words. 📚I ramble through some of our usual topics. The benefits of journaling, how you make my life better, dealing with social anxiety... The brainier side of things. And all throughout, as always, is a deep love and care for you. ❤️If you have topic requests for future podcast episodes, you can request anonymously at https://lindy.garden/whisperI'm always here for you. As your protector, as your guide (if you want one), and most of all... as someone who loves you and will never disappear. You'll never lose me, I promise Little Bunny.Love,❤️LindySupport the showhttps://lindy.garden/list

Hey there, Little Bunny! ❤️ This is a great episode for you if you struggle with intrusive thoughts like "I don't matter." DISPROVEN BY YOUR DEAR DADDY LINDY, Little Bunny!! You DO matter. How do I know? Because you matter to me.I also get to test out a maniacal laugh. I'd really love to voice some villains! If you want to write me a villain character on Page Turn, you can join the Page Turn discord, following the link at pageturn.gameI'm so glad I have you in my life. You've got me, forever. 😘Love,LindySupport the showhttps://lindy.garden/list

Hey there, Little Bunny! ❤️ This week we'll be smiling a lot. Not just because you and I are cute together... And not just because I shower you with love and boost your confidence... We'll smile together because I guide us through noticing many reasons for us to be grateful.Gratitude is one of the most important ingredients in happiness! So let's receive some of the happiness the world is trying to give us, shall we? Don't worry, I'll lead.😌I love you!❤️LindySupport the showhttps://lindy.garden/list

Hey there, Little Bunny! ❤️ I enjoyed our time together this week🥰. It's got some smiles, some laughs, and a good action plan to help you get through your next rough patch.The "core" self esteem you feel is something we'll grow and strengthen bit by bit. But your "surface level" dips in self-esteem? These can be gotten through rather quickly. All we need to do is find a nice development in your life.Self-care days are nice... but they don't move you forward at all. So let's conquer your rough patch by going out and finding an opportunity, even if small, that will change what your future holds.I love you, Little Bunny! We're in this together. Which is great news for me, because you're a ton of fun. 😘I love you!!❤️LindySupport the showhttps://lindy.garden/list

Hey there, Little Bunny! ❤️ I've been doing this whole garden thing without a mentor, and I don't even know of anyone who would fit the bill... But then I realized that hmmmm--- perhaps there are some fictional characters YOU can suggest whom can learn from? So I'm looking for book recommendations from you, Little Bunny! Specifically a character you think I could learn something from as I'm on a journey to become the best version of myself.We also talk about a trick for how to keep yourself from spiraling, if your thoughts and emotions are swirling downward like water draining from a tub.Then we cap it off with a little "five wisdoms" sequence which always helps lift me out of a bad place. There's also a pretty hilarious BAD piece of advice AI gave me which you can laugh at along with me. 🥰I love you!!❤️LindySupport the showhttps://lindy.garden/list
