    The Hidden Power of Curiosity, Gratitude, and Emotional Growth

    What if your emotions are not the problem—but the guide you've been taught to ignore? In this episode of The Giant Builders, Lois Wyant sits down with Jessica Lyn, an emotions mentor, artist, and creator of Sacred Interactions Mentoring, to explore a completely different way of understanding emotions, curiosity, leadership, and human connection. Jessica shares why many people learn to distrust their emotions from childhood, how curiosity can become one of the most powerful tools for growth, and why learning to navigate your "emotional wonderland" can transform your relationships, leadership, and personal confidence. The conversation also takes a practical turn as Lois asks for advice on helping her grandchildren navigate emotions, curiosity, winning and losing, and learning to embrace uncertainty. Jessica offers powerful insights for parents, grandparents, leaders, and anyone who wants to create deeper connections with the people they love. The episode closes with a beautiful perspective on gratitude and how every object around us represents the work, effort, and support of countless people around the world. If you've ever struggled with emotions, self-trust, vulnerability, or feeling connected to others, this conversation will give you a fresh perspective and practical ideas you can apply immediately. sacredinteractions@gmail.com Linkedin/coach-jessica-lyn Facebook@coachjessicalyn Website: sacredinteractions.com Meeting link calendly.com/sacredinteractions/60min Timestamps00:00 Why You Should Stop and Listen to This Episode 00:49 Meet Jessica Lyn 01:12 Why Most People Fear Their Emotions 05:17 Understanding Your Emotional Wonderland 07:11 The Power of Curiosity 10:28 Helping Children Navigate Curiosity 13:15 Supporting Emotional Children Without Dismissing Feelings 15:36 What It Means to Lead in Full Color 19:20 Leadership for Introverts and Empaths 20:50 Redefining Leadership 21:18 Vulnerability as a Leadership Strength 22:52 How We Are All Connected 27:43 A Powerful Daily Gratitude Practice 29:14 Final Thoughts and Closing Check out other episodes Business: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf7Uc6zi2pF9pnIL1foYJ3uVP8z1fCVmZ Health: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf7Uc6zi2pF9QEQ1q2e05K28IjUvLPGJy Spiritual: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf7Uc6zi2pF96jBzfz6QHUegeULd7YEsY Family: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf7Uc6zi2pF_SaLQxs8op1CPSDg_wG8vL Connect with The Giant Builders: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheGiantBuilders Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thegiantbuilders/ YouTube: youtube.com/channel/UCdhZSrC57PyP-QSWIaTeldg?sub_confirmation=1

    How Grief Lives in the Body and What You Can Do About It

    What happens to your body when you experience grief, loss, or a major life change? In this episode of The Giant Builders, Lois Wyant sits down with Jason Wendroff-Rawnicki, a body-centered grief therapist who helps people understand the physical, emotional, and mental impact of loss. After losing his sister in a tragic car accident, Jason discovered that traditional talk therapy wasn't enough to help him heal. Through yoga, meditation, nervous system regulation, and body-centered healing practices, he found a new path forward. Jason explains why grief isn't just about emotions—it affects your entire body. He shares how unresolved grief can show up through unhealthy habits, sleep issues, stress, identity shifts, and even physical symptoms. Whether you've experienced the loss of a loved one, a job, a relationship, or a major life transition, this conversation offers practical tools to help you move forward. You'll also learn a simple breathing exercise that can help regulate your nervous system in just a few minutes. If you're struggling with grief or supporting someone who is, this episode provides hope, understanding, and actionable strategies for healing.

    Two Women in the Bible Every Businesswoman Should Learn From

    What can two women from the Bible teach us about business, visibility, and showing up with faith? In this episode of The Giant Builders, Lois Wyant shares powerful lessons from two extraordinary women in scripture—Lois, the grandmother of Timothy, and the Shunammite woman. Though separated by generations and circumstances, both women modeled something every woman in business needs today: intentional action, faithfulness, and the courage to move before the results are visible. Lois talks about investing in others without seeing immediate results, showing up consistently, and planting seeds that grow over time. She also shares how the Shunammite woman refused to stay passive when faced with loss and instead moved boldly toward the solution she needed. This episode also connects these biblical principles to modern business and AI visibility. As AI search changes how customers find businesses, Lois explains why consistency, trust, visibility, and showing up early matter more than ever. In this episode: • Lessons from Lois and the Shunammite woman • Why planting invisible seeds matters in business • The connection between faith and visibility • How AI search is changing local business marketing • The importance of becoming findable online • Why women must stop waiting and start showing up • Practical visibility principles for modern business owners If you are building something meaningful and wondering whether your work matters, this episode will encourage you to keep planting, keep showing up, and keep moving toward what you are called to do.
