Do you want to live a wholehearted, unconventional life?
|
The Dervish and the Mermaid is a podcast about pathfinding, the Enneagram, living wholeheartedly, feminism & activism for sensitive people, self-love & body love, and plenty more!
Pace (the Dervish) is a Sufi, a Pathfinding coach, a pansexual polyamorous transgender Dance Dance Revolution (DDR) player, and an Enneagram 3.
Kyeli (the Mermaid) is a wildhearted witch, a self-love advocate, disabled, adventurous, and an Enneagram self-pres 4.
Together, we fight crime! …as well as curiously explore how the world works, build bridges of compassion by working to understand people who are different, investigate how to be effective activists when we’re both highly sensitive, and generally explore life through the lens of mystic feminist queer gamer geeks.
We live our lives wholeheartedly and we’re here to help you do the same.
We publish a new episode every Thursday morning, so tune in to join us for these and all sorts of other shenanigans!
p.s. This is the podcast formerly known as Wild Crazy Meaningful Life (and also the podcast formerly known as Wild Crazy Meaningful Enneagram); listen to episode 121 to find out why.

Productivity? Ehh, maybe later.
Procrastination makes you crater.
Thrashing can stop you,
Overwhelm drops you.
What if you had a translator?
- procrastination
- this could be because you’re overwhelmed, thrashing, or unmotivated. We’ll cover the first 2 of these today. (Motivation was covered in WCML 118: Peaceful Productivity 3: Peaceful Motivation, episode 3 in this series.)
- What about resistance? resistance is misguided attraction
- Last resort: Productive Procrastination (structured procrastination)
- thrashing
- noticing, e.g. on the days when i stick to some kind of structure I feel better, I feel more productive, I don’t have that flailing around thrashing feeling
- separate planning from doing
- batch it or batshit
- overwhelm
- underwhelm
- open loops
- trusted systems

“Productively manage your time.”
Sounds like a steep uphill climb.
But that is fallacious!
You can feel spacious,
And slacking need not be a crime.
- “not enough time” is a polite lie
- aligning your time with your priorities
- WCML 068: Wild Crazy Meaningful Death, with Caitlin Doughty
- pathfinding
- reminder: boil shoulds and have-to’s down to wants
- WCML 068: Wild Crazy Meaningful Death, with Caitlin Doughty
- It’s better to make tough “this can wait” decisions than to feel overwhelmed.
- choice
- tyranny of choice (“It’s bread, in crumb form”)
- manufacturing happiness only works when you’re locked in
- perfectionism
- “I need to be perfect because…”
- you are enough
- Turn it around and remember your new mantra in the moment.
- tiers or tears: Tier 1 “must-do”, Tier 2 “would be awesome”, Tier 3 “would be nice” (https://paceheart.com/tiers/)
- The Leonie Effect
- practicing (e.g. no backspace in email)
