    Ep. 306 Seasonal Growth: Find Your Flow
    2025/03/25
    How do the changing seasons impact our energy, creativity, and emotions? In this episode, we explore how each season affects our mood and productivity—and how to work with these natural rhythms instead of against them. Spring sparks fresh ideas and motivation, summer fuels social energy and inspiration, fall encourages deep reflection and focus, and winter fosters introspection and creative breakthroughs. We’ll uncover the best seasons for brainstorming, collaborating, and diving deep into creative work, according to research. By syncing with the seasons, we can optimize our creativity, well-being, and happiness year-round. How will you use the seasons to launch your best life? And a note to listeners: Simply Said will be taking a seasonal hiatus every quarter. This will give us time to develop new shows and launch exciting new projects. So, stay in touch with our newsletter at PollyCampbell.substack.com and listen to any one of the 300+ episodes already available. We'll be back in April with all new shows.

    Ep. 304 Acceptance to Inspire Right Action
    2025/03/11
    Acceptance isn’t giving up. It’s not pretending everything is fine when it’s not. It’s the opposite of resistance—it’s allowing reality to be what it is so we can respond with a clear head to make change, instead of reacting from a place of stress or denial. Simply, sure. Easy? Not always. Polly talks about how acceptance empowers us and how we can engage it in our own lives.
