The Leadership Center Podcast Trisha Welstad

What do we do with our one wild and precious life?

In this podcast we pull together each piece of our vocational triangle to create a meaningful and memorizable credo. Our credo stands as a true north, helping us know who we are and how to live in alignment with who we are made to be into our future.

 In this podcast you will:

1- Get a template for how to create a meaningful life calling credo

2- Learn how our credo is formed from our vocational triangle

3- Identify possibilities for living our credo

 

In this episode Trisha coaches Sara Lattimore, a pastor, mother, and doctoral student who has a big vision for her life but is stifled by the many obstacles that seem to be blocking her in her present reality.

Sara and Trisha connected in the fall of 2021 and have had several conversations about calling. Sara’s felt stuck for a while now, so she is our co-conversationalist for our mini-series to get her own personalized coaching while giving you an insight into the vocational coaching process.

Sara Lattimore

Sara is adopted, a wife of 17 years, a mother to 2 amazing children who give her opportunities to be a cheerleader, dress up like a princess, play in the mud, and go on amazing adventures. With a Bachelors in political science and sociology, Sara worked for Child Protective Services as a legal caseworker before following a call into full-time ministry in 2008. During her time in full-time ministry Sara has served in medium to large size local congregations, as well as camp ministry. Sara has a passion for serving others, writing, and speaking. Sara is looking forward to writing her own book next. Sara completed her MDiv in 2019 and is currently working on her Doctorate in Leadership and Global Perspectives. Sara currently serves in a ministry position leading a congregation in living life missionally as the Director of Missional Ministries. She is an innovator and visionary who looks to find empowering and dignity restoring ways of sharing the love of Christ, while addressing needs.

Beyond her work, Sara dreams of growing her family through adoption, kayaking with Orcas, and traveling in an RV across North America and internationally.

Listening to our stories and our pain leads us toward our desired healing for the world. Once we know our values and our themes around wounding, we move into how our healing and the healing we long for in the world bring restoration, life and joy.

In our fourth episode of our podcast, I continue to coach Sara Lattimore through the last piece of the triangle to consider how her story influences how she is made to bring healing to the world.

In Episode Four We Cover:



Our passion areas



What we mean when we think of healing the world



How healing relates to our values and pain



The previous episode focused on themes of emotions based on our early wounding and the connection to our values using Deborah Loyd’s vocational triangle. During this episode we look at how the ways we feel called to care for the world, and specific aspects of it, tend to relate closely to the themes of pain and our values. For Sara, we look at her bio and her dreams for owning and RV and adopting children are part of her dreams for healing the world.

In our fifth and final podcast of the series, we put the triangle together to create a credo and next steps.

Have you ever wondered if your pain could be redeemed? How can the difficulties we have gone through be transformed to make meaning and healing for ourselves and others? In our third episode in our Called to Thrive podcast, we look at the themes of pain in our life toward understanding how they shape our calling.

Trisha continues to coach Sara Lattimore in our third episode, asking questions about Sara’s experience of pain and how it relates to the thread of her vocation.

In Episode Three We Cover:



How our wounds create meaning in our story



Understanding themes from pain experiences



Finding connections between our pain and values



Our pain is sometimes an area we do not want to explore. Understanding our initial feelings from a wound and how they come up throughout our life reveals ways we attempt to protect and heal. You will notice in this episode that Trisha mentions that our values are often a desire for the inverse of our pain.

In our next podcast we connect our values and pain themes with our hope for healing in the world.

In the second episode of The Leadership Center Called to Thrive podcast, Trisha continues coaching Sara Lattimore through the beginning piece of the triangle to clarify her values and begin to understand the thread of her vocation.

In Episode 2 We Cover:

1.The difference between meta and micro version of calling

2. The vocational triangle

3. How our childhood story shows up in our calling

When we take people through the vocational coaching process, we start with their story. In listening to our stories, we learn of embodied values over time. To clearly articulate and get at these values we use my friend and colleague, Deborah Loyd’s text, Your Vocational Credo. In her book, Deborah uses a simple triangle diagram to help bring together stories of past and future toward clarifying values.

Listen to the podcast or read more on our blog for further details on how our story shapes our values.
