Roundy's Rants, Raves and Reviews
Roundy's Rants, Raves and Reviews
Podcast Description
As an English, Theatre, and Speech and Debate Teacher, I've got issues and thoughts on issues. My students call them my "rants". Everyone has their soapboxes, their certainties/beliefs, and each voice is important and should be heard! So, let's Rant together! I also firmly believe that literature of all forms makes up a part of who we are, our beliefs/thoughts, and what we do with them to create. In this podcast we discuss: 1) Rants: What's your certainty/soapbox? Let's have a respectful discussion about it. 2) Raves: The Literature/authors who have inspired you, your life, and your work. 3) Reviews: A discussion and review of your work (whatever you do), or what you believe others should be reading/watching/listening to and why.

This is a video about Stepping out of Fear: Venting with Nervous System Whisperer Jennifer Grove
Host Tanya Roundy interviews her friend Jennifer Grove, a venting coach and “nervous system whisperer” who helps high-functioning, stressed-out women relax, release emotions, and feel healthier. They discuss how people bottle feelings, confuse validation with staying mad, and ignore nervous-system signals like tension and discomfort until problems escalate. Jennifer explains fear as often rooted in the unknown and past experiences, and they emphasize practicing presence, stillness, and boundaries—especially around technology and constant notifications. Jennifer shares experiments like a silent retreat and keeping her phone on Do Not Disturb, arguing that phones should be tools, not dictators. They explore rebuilding real community starting with neighbors, seeking help and accountability, and Jennifer’s approach combining talk with body-based release methods like breathwork, tapping, and NLP. Jennifer’s key takeaway is intentional breathing to “thrive,” not just survive.
