Are you feeling unsettled or overwhelmed after a major life transition? In this episode, host Cristie Ritz-King shares her "weeds of the week" , getting personal about her recent chaotic cross-country move , navigating life as a "partly empty nester" , and the intense pressure to build "perfect" new routines.

If you're struggling with a "naggy inner voice" or feel your old habits no longer fit your new life, this episode is for you. Cristie explains her key strategy for finding calm: turning ordinary routines into intentional rituals. She introduces a simple, practical mindfulness tool—the "toothbrush meditation" —as a way to reconnect with your body and find a moment of grounding.

Discover how to find wonder in your everyday life by making small, rote moments special, helping you move from chaos to calm.

Welcome to the very first episode of "Wonder in the Weeds". I’m your host, Cristie Ritz-King , and by day, I’m a trauma therapist. For years, I’ve struggled with the professional expectation that I'm supposed to be a "blank slate" for my clients. The truth is, I love writing, sharing stories, and building community —things I haven't felt I could fully do in my professional role.

This show is the result of my long journey to find an authentic way to share what I know and what I've been through. My online story started years ago when I moved to a new state, didn't know a soul, and started a blog to connect with people. I found an amazing community , but as the internet changed and influencer culture grew, it just didn't feel like me.

On this podcast, I'm not going to be a blank slate. I'm here to combine my professional experience with my personal stories of challenge and grief. I'm not here to offer toxic positivity or tell you what to do. My goal is to follow the principle of teaching from the "scar, not the wound" —sharing what I've learned to help us all feel less alone. I want to explore how we can live a good life right alongside the hard stuff , and I promise, there is always wonder to be found, even in the weeds.
