    Foundations of Change: Courage

    Engaging our story requires courage because we've all faced hard things. Choosing to engage with that which is painful is the essence of courage. Each of us already possess what we need to begin to engage, step by step. On episode 41, we look at courage and who it can benefit us as we aim towards health and healing.

    Foundations of Change: Acceptance

    Foundations of Change: Acceptance

    Week 2 of our foundations series we look at the concept of acceptance. Acceptance means we agree with and come face to face the reality of what's happening. Recognizing what's real and in front of us is so key in maintaining health. In episode 38 we look at how we can begin the process of accepting what's in front of us, who we are, and those around us.

    What Are You Trying To Prove?

    What Are You Trying To Prove?

    So many people are living their lives with a desire to prove their worth. Maybe they've had relationships go poorly or parents who never showed care. I can often fall into these desirse as well. The truth is, if we've been hurt by people In our past, we may be trying to prove it to them in the attempt to give our younger selves something we lacked. In this, we can stay in situations and relationships that aren't healthy. Naming this truth and realizing our own worth can help us move towards healthier ways of life!

Taking a break from faith…

This one episode provided more practical wisdom in 15 minutes than countless books on the topic. Practical, grace filled, advice. A+
