    The Gifts of Imperfection Review: Part Three

    We're back! We missed you guys!!! Injury, illness, and crazy schedules has kept us away, but today we jumped into part three of our review of Brené Brown's The Gifts of Imperfection! In this ep. we dig into  Guideposts 4-7 of Wholehearted living!  4 : Cultivating Gratitude & Joy: Letting Go of Scarcity & Fear of the Dark5: Cultivating Intuition & Trusting Faith: Letting Go of the Need for Certainty6: Cultivating Creativity: Letting Go of Comparison7: Cultivating Play and Rest: Letting Go of Exhaustion as a Status Symbol & Productivity as Self-WorthWe discuss how comparison makes us AFRAID we're not good enough, thus it robs us of our JOY.  If we aren't living with joy, we won't prioritize play, creativeness or rest. AKA the building blocks of a wholehearted life. We examine our need for certainty, and if you have to be certain, you leave no room for faith. James and I share details about our struggles in finding play that isn't attached to productivity, some fears, and how we're learning to let go of 'status'. If uncertainty = vulnerability, & intuition is making room for uncertainty ... no wonder we suck at using our intuition! It's all in the name of growth folks! Here's to learning about WHY we do the things we do, and growing into who we're created to be with less fear of the dark. Don't forget to leave a review!!!

    That's a Wrap! (for this season & the feature film!)

    We're wrapping season 1 by sharing experiences from Next to North filming on location in Alaska, and discussing the prevalent thought that we need to make up for the lost pandemic year.  Hint: No, we don't! We touch on the idea that Resiliency is the choices we make, not the outcomes. So when you're trying to film a happy scene, and it pours rain..... we can choose to sulk, call it quits, scramble for an umbrella, or dance in the mud puddles. The scene might never make it into the final cut, but we'll remember how we chose to handle it. Look for the  @next.to.north.film platforms on Instagram and FB https://www.instagram.com/next.to.north.film/ https://www.facebook.com/Next.to.North.Film/ Thanks for listening and subscribing! See you next season!

    Progress Report B+

    James and Rebecca review their four square challenge and the effect projects like publishing a book and film production can have on our progress. Reminding ourselves it's okay to have laser focus on one square for a season is an important step in battling the self-doubt dragon. Letting go of any guilt that weighs us down allows us to step into who we're created to be; and that dear listener is our hope for you! How is your progress report? Do you need to re-focus energy? It is wise to check in and adjust as necessary, that's life! Check out the new endeavors!
