    Self-Abandonment: The Door to Despondency and Despair

    Today’s podcast covers the topic of self abandonment. We often identify abandonment as taking place within a dyad or within interpersonal relationships. However, we can abandon ourselves in various ways. These ways can range from self-doubt to more serious self abuse, with many more forms in between. When self-abandonment occurs, this opens the door to despondency and despair. When we do not abandon ourselves, and maintain self compassion, we will not down-spiral emotionally.

    Syncing up our Chronological Age and Emotional Age

    Today’s podcast discusses the need to know when it’s time to simply let go of certain forms of emotional baggage when we get into later stages of life. We often don’t emotionally feel like our chronological age. However, as our years grow short, there’s just certain things we don’t want to be carrying; so that when the time comes, we can easily transition to the kingdom of God. Often times we are carrying baggage that is preventing us from growing up. Knowing what types of struggles are okay to just let go of and when it is okay to do that are the focal points of today’s podcast.

    The Synergy between Self-Denial and Self-Acceptance

    Today’s podcast answers a question from someone struggling to understand how self denial and self acceptance do not conflict with each other. Both self denial and self acceptance depend on one another. If we do not maintain the appropriate application and balance of both, we will spiritually stall out; either in the state of complacency or despondency.

    Family Visits: To Go or Not to Go

    Today’s podcast answers a question from someone who has been having disagreements with their spouse over whether or not to visit extended family during the holidays. The various factors that should go into making these decisions is discussed. A nativity activity and meditation is also given to help the submitter of the question and listeners to help make the right decisions during this advent season.

    Revealing Secrets: Turning Darkness to Light

    Today’s podcast offers a reflection on Saint Paul’s recent epistle in which he describes how anything revealed becomes visible and what is visible becomes light. We are all invited to participate in the beautiful process of converting dark secrets, struggles, and sins into light by bringing them to the light of day, the light of consciousness, the light of Christ.

    Yearnings: Blessings or Hindrances to Salvation?

    Today’s podcast explores a topic that we all have experienced, but rarely discuss. We know that expectations are troublesome and that hope is healthy. But what about a yearning? Examples of healthy yearnings and unhealthy ones are discussed and explored. The origins of unhealthy yearnings, and havoc they can wreak in our lives, are also a focal point.

    When Despondency becomes Sensual

    Today's podcast revisits and builds upon a previous episode that was about when we unconsciously follow a script from the past. However, this topic is expanded today to how we can create new unhealthy scripts or narratives in the present without realizing it is happening. A stressful time can lead to negative self-dialogue that can become a habit. It can create a new procedural memory of how we relate with ourselves. It can even become a way of self-soothing in a very unhealthy way.

    When we Become Emotional Lint Brushes

    Today's podcast focuses on the importance of being able to be honest with ourselves and be able to say we are not okay during times of struggle. More of life sticks to us than we realize. The paradox is that when we can acknowledge we are not presently okay, then we know we will be okay. Denial is costly and far more damaging than we realize.
