Episode 8 - ELECTION TENSION DOESN’T HAVE TO BE RELATIONAL TENSION

For too many years, election season has been a source of contention for families and other important relationships. The issues about which we are passionate have become the measuring stick for our relationships, and I am not sure when this all started but I have certainly had it in my face since 2016.

What is it about issues that we allow them to rise higher in priority than our relationships? Do we believe we ARE the issues we stand for? Have those things become our identity? Granted, the issues we stand for are important. I am not belittling them. I greatly value the freedom we have to vote for them. I am simply suggesting their importance not be prioritized above people.

Three things I share around the table in this episode are:

• How to stay true to your convictions and still value relationships with different convictions
• How to value people as people despite differing issues
• How to simplify what we have complicated and build up what we have torn down a bit

All we really want as humans is to be seen, heard, known, and loved. We can give those gifts to others without compromising a single value. This episode talks about how. I invite you to come join me around the table!

EPISODE 7 - COURAGE FOR YOUR MOMENT OF CHOICE

Change is hard work. Familiarity has a sense of safety to it, and we don’t like to feel unsafe or ill-equipped to deal with unsafe feelings. I have been pondering what it takes to get to the point where we choose the hard work of making change happen. Why do we do what we do without giving it a second thought...until a moment when everything changes. What brings us to that pivotal moment? Here are three things needed to effect change that will last: We need to pause and recognize what we are mentally fighting against. What are we resisting to acknowledge? We need to make a conscious choice to participate in the reality of our situation. We need to choose courage by going after what we know is more important than the fear. This episode delves into what that looks like, and I invite you to listen with an open and courageous mind to discover what is holding you back from the best you so desire.

Episode 6 - WHAT YOU HAVE TO OFFER

Have you ever wished you had something to offer the world that nobody else has offered yet? Something nobody has even thought about? Do you look at others and see how they make an impact and wish you could make one too? Desiring to make an impact, make a difference, is something that is wired into the unique creation of each human being on earth. I really believe that. And the more I discover people’s unique stories, the more genius I see in our creation. You have something to offer that nobody else does. You do. You have you. And just because that might sound cliché doesn’t mean it’s not true. Nobody else can offer the life experiences, lessons learned, and unique perspectives only you own. Nobody.

I want to share with you 3 things I have learned that continually move me forward:

- People care about and need what I have to offer (even when my false self tells me differently). They need what you have to offer, too.

- How to create a unique identity statement to remind you of the truth of who you are and to build greater confidence.

- How living true to your identity and offering what only you can will increase your joy and the joy of others. I invite you to listen with an open heart and mind to discover the wonder that is already within you.
