The Well-Tended Life Podcast is all about intentional living, that’s inspired by my great-great-grandmother’s classic book “The Secret Garden”. A Well-Tended Life is not a set it and forget it life, nor is it a perfect life. It is worked on every day, in the sunshine and through the storms. And the truth is, what worked in our life-gardens last season, may not work in the next. That’s why here at The Well-Tended Life Podcast, we interview people who have grown and bloomed true in a variety of seasons and are willing to share their well-tended wisdom and weed-whacking advice with us!This season we are going to talk about: Rest, Fear, Addiction, Busyness, Growth, grief, Friendship, Relationships, Time Management, Self Care, Pivots, Expectations, Wandering, Gratitude, Overcoming, Hard Work, Goals/Intentions, Relationships, Health, Fitness, Change, Secrets, Letting Go, and so much More! So, meet me back here each week and we will dig in together to discover what’s keeping you locked up tighter than The Secret Garden and unearth the tools that will keep you growing and blooming through every season.“Where you tend a rose…a thistle cannot grow.” - The Secret Garden

Episode 76: The Thoughts That Changed Everything with Judith Belmont

May 28, 2025

Unknown Host

Judith Belmont

Thoughts Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Journaling Self-Compassion Reframing Regret Mental Health Stress Management Anxiety Depression

Have you ever stopped to think about the power of a single thought?

Not just the passing kind, but the ones that shape your beliefs, your reactions, your inner world?

In this episode of The Well-Tended Life, I sit down with author, psychotherapist, and emotional wellness expert Judith Belmont to explore the life-changing power of tending to your thoughts. With over 40 years of experience in the mental health field and 11 books under her belt, including her latest 110 CBT Tips and Tools, Judith shares simple, practical strategies to shift the way we think, feel, and live.

We dig into the core of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), talk journaling as a transformational practice, and learn how reframing regret, embracing self-compassion, and being flexible in our thinking can help us bloom in even the toughest seasons.

Here are just a few heart taps from this episode:

The quality of your thoughts determines the quality of your life. Period.
Regret can keep us trapped in the past—but it can also reveal what matters most to us.
Journaling isn’t just for venting—it’s a tool for reflection, reframing, and healing.
We confuse thoughts and feelings all the time, and that confusion can keep us stuck.
Positive reframing doesn’t erase the past—it gives it a new, empowering narrative.

If your mental garden feels overgrown with stress, perfectionism, or self-doubt, this episode is your invitation to start weeding with love, one thought at a time.

Episode 75: The Key to Real Connection with Amy Daughters

Amy Daughters

intentional connection handwritten letters reconnection friendship writing healing practice digital world self-care

In this episode of The Well-Tended Life podcast, I sit down with Amy Daughters—speaker, author, and champion of handwritten letters—for a joyful and soul-stirring conversation about the power of intentional connection.

What started as a spontaneous letter to a childhood camp friend turned into a life-changing ripple of reconnection, purpose, and unexpected friendship. Amy shares how leaning into a gut feeling led her down a path of writing 580 letters to 580 people—and how this simple, analog practice opened up a whole new way of living and loving.

Together, we dig into the magic of slowing down, putting pen to paper, and saying yes to the things that matter. This episode is a love letter to anyone craving more real connection in a digital world.

Here are a few heart taps from this episode:

1️⃣ Writing a letter isn’t just a gift for the recipient—it’s a healing practice for the writer too.

2️⃣ Don’t ignore those nudges. Even the wildest ideas can lead to something beautiful if you’re brave enough to follow them.

3️⃣ Camp friendships don’t have to stay in the past. Deep, lasting connections can flourish at any age when we make space for them.

4️⃣ You don’t have to say yes to everything. Choose your projects—and your people—with intention.

So grab your favorite stationery and hit play—you’re about to be reminded just how powerful one heartfelt letter (and one small act of courage) can be.
