S3E2: Coming Out as a Rape Survivor

In today’s episode, I share my crossover experience of speaking about my lived experience in a professional environment. Recently, I spoke at a conference for clinical counselors. I decided to share my experience of sexual violence in the interest of educating colleagues on the experience. Listen now to hear what I learned from speaking to hundreds of colleagues and the unexpected outcome when we decide to take a risk.

S3E1: A Year of Something Amazing

You might need a bigger jar. Have you ever heard of the Something Amazing Jar experiment? I learned about it last January and did it for the year. The results were eye-opening. In today’s episode, we talk about a way to view our lives that just might illuminate parts of us we weren’t aware of. Instead of looking at goals and resolutions, how about being on the lookout for the good or amazing in our everyday lives? Join me as I share what I learned from doing the Something Amazing Jar experiment for a year. You might find out how you can tap into what is good - or even amazing - in your own life.

S2E17: Perfection is the Enemy of the Good

“Perfection is the enemy of the good” – we’ve heard this phrase around. Attributed to French writer Voltaire and from a French proverb - l'ennemi du bien est le bien – it reminds us about how we can trip up if we get bogged down with thoughts of perfection – so much so it can stop us in our tracks. In today’s episode, we talk about perfection. We talk about mistakes, making decisions, and doing it anyway. Maybe this story will help you see where you are letting perfection be the enemy of the good in your life. In Conscious Motion is a reader-supported publication.

S2E16: Being Real

What does it mean to be real? We often mean being authentic. But how do we be our authentic selves in a world that seems to celebrate us wearing a mask? How do we BE in the world, with our messy stories and not overwhelm others? Brené Brown offers insight in her book Rising Strong about how we can access the stories we have, deal with our emotions, and embrace vulnerability through a simple concept called curiosity. Listen how an encounter brought out questions of what we need in relationship to be vulnerable. In Conscious Motion is a reader-supported publication.

S2E14: Making the Unconscious Conscious

Is this even possible? How we navigate fate and destiny is anyone’s guess. Perhaps it’s why we all want certainty. Life is just too uncertain it seems. In this episode I share a tool used in psychology to help us look at both our conscious and unconscious biases and how these biases impact our lives. You may want to pull up the essay as a visual reference. Listen how we can reduce our personal blind spot, perhaps one way we can learn to exercise some level of control on this sometimes confusing and surprise journey called Life.

S2: E13 Healing is Change

This is my inaugural episode since changing the name of this podcast. For 6 or so months, it was Princess and the Pea, Survivor Edition. It’s been about a month since I published my last essay and dropped my audio recording in this podcast. I’ve been pondering this change for awhile, wishing I’d gotten it right the first time when I named this publication and podcast at the start. Ahh, well… such is change: awkward, uncomfortable, and necessary. Listen here to learn how I got back into motion after some time – it seemed – of standing still.

Podcast S2E12: The Next Right Thing

Being stuck in indecision is a hard place to be. After all, no one tells us what the right thing to do is (okay maybe they do, but that’s when we’re young and in school and forced to follow the rules). We have to make our choices. And sometimes it can be overwhelming when there are so many choices to make. Listen how two core experiences, one seemingly minor, the other, more definitive, offered unexpected confirmation on my own quest to the next right thing… Get full access to In Conscious Motion at faithcbergevin.substack.com/subscribe
