Tired of trying to “adult” perfectly? So am I! Welcome to ATYPICAL with Amie Archibald-Varley, your new favourite “lifecare” podcast, where we swap life hacks for life laughs. Let’s be real, life’s a wild ride with more twists and turns than a pretzel factory. It’s time to ditch the pressure to have it all figured out and embrace the glorious, unpredictable adventure that is life. With life being full of uncertainties, the one constant is change. How do we bend, flex, pivot and still survive? From baffling breakthroughs to everyday blunders, Amie’s got your back as we navigate this beautiful mess together, one quirky conversation at a time. Get ready for lighthearted chats, relatable stories, creativity in the arts and a whole lot of “oh snap!” moments that prove when life gets atypical, we can still find our stride (maybe even a giggle or two). Life isn’t typical—It’s AtYpICal!
Raise your hand if Mondays feel like a personal attack?? Seriously, the start of the work week or the start of a nursing/healthcare rotation (when you’re crushing it on those 2s and 3s or 4-on-4-off rotations) can drop a ton of bricks on your vibe. That wave of “ugh, here we go again” anxiety? Been there, felt that.
Trouble sleeping Sunday night? Anxiously in the morning or a bit on edge? But what if we could reframe that Monday energy? What about owning your work week from the jump?
Try this short but powerful 5-minute mindfulness activity designed to help you navigate life’s uncertainties. Learn to connect with your inner calm, acknowledge what feels unknown, and discover the steady resources you carry within. It’s a gentle reminder that even in the stormiest moments, your breath can be your anchor. Let’s make every week start strong.
