We're not in a mood. A mood is in us.

In this episode we're getting curious about how the mood we’re in can affect the way we see things (AKA "Affective Realism"). The MOOD is the impermanent, fleeting thing. WE are the constant. Every mood we have, every emotion we experience is temporary. It will always change. 

I share a bit about my recent journey across the country, my first few days home in California, and how I'm holding a lot of different emotions simultaneously right now. This is something I think we're all doing all the time. We rarely can capture how we feel with one mood. Because our lives are composed of so many different ever-changing parts. So it's time to show ourselves compassion and let all those different emotions co-exist at the same time. 

What is Curiously Kristen?

On this show, we talk about lots of things. Personal development, behavioral psychology, business trends, leadership, adventure travel, spiritual practice, starting over somewhere new, taking risks, failing, getting back up and trying again. The subject matter is broad but the connecting fiber is deep. WE'RE EXPLORING OUR CURIOSITY. Without judgement. Without needing permission. Here, we'll learn, grow, and become our best selves - by leaning into the things we're curious about and letting that curiosity pave our path to purpose.
