Importance of Friendship

Today, we are talking about the importance of friendships. Over our lifetime we meet people who come into our life, sometimes for a season and sometimes for longer. They help us get through things or are going through the same things. Having connections help make the hard times a little easier. There is a grief that comes from losing those connections but there is also gratitude for having someone with you at the time. It takes effort to maintain those connections but the reward is worth it. 

Can we change?

Today, we are talking about who we change, evolve, grow, and heal. We know life changes and people change. Often change happens because life happens. We can choose to change for the better and sometimes for the worse. With consistency and consciously we can become a different version of ourselves. It will take effort, it will mean failing, and it can lead to some amazing opportunities. It is up to you. #change #evolution #growth #skillsandtools 

Logic and feelings

Today, we are talking about the alignment between your head, your heart, and your intuition. We often will try to logic our way into or out of things, even when our heart wants something different. It is helpful to allow space for your feelings so we can process our way to a fuller picture of what are dealing with. It might also be helpful to clean up our head, shifting our internal voice to something a little kinder. Doing so will create a path to trusting ourselves. This piler of alignment creates a safer way move throughout the world. #trustyourself #feelyourfeelings #manageanxiety #bekind #mentalhealth

Positivity v reality

Today, we are talking about positivity versus reality. There are times we work hard to "stay positive" in the face of challenges. It might be a better use of energy to be realistic about our capacity for engagement, choosing consciously who we can be real with. #realist #authenticity #ominouspositivity #toxicpositivity 

Acceptance in relationship

Today, we are talking about feeling accepted in our relationships. Are we being seen and understood, all of our parts at the same time? Are we seeing and accepting ourselves. It can ben challenging to be aware of how we show up in relationship when we are too busy criticizing ourselves. Take an opportunity to see who shows in your life if we appreciate all of who we are. #acceptance #relationships #beinghuman #selflove

Prove your love

Today, we are talking about the concept of proving love or earning love. Often, we start in one place in relationship and can get off course as life happens. When we feel like love is transactional, it makes the whole point of connection and acceptance more challenging. #proveyourlove #connection #relationships #receivinglove

Hook up culture and app dating

Today, we are talking about hook up culture and dating on the apps for connection. It is helpful to consider how our brain and endorphins play into connection. Thinking about what the goals are when engaging in dating, in which ever you choose to do it. #hookup #mentalhealth #dating #connection
 

Global anxiety

Today, is hard podcast. I want to acknowledge this is different from my other content. We are experiencing so many weird things including human rights violations. Protect your mental health. Protest peacefully, mindfully, and stay safe. Curate a feed social media that doesn’t further your anxiety. Talk to people. Reach out to your friends.
“Let not any one pacify his conscience by the delusion that he can do no harm if he takes no part, and forms no opinion. Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing. He is not a good man who, without a protest, allows wrong to be committed in his name, and with the means which he helps to supply, because he will not trouble himself to use his mind on the subject.” John Steuart Mill
 
Protest safely
 

Dysfunctional families

Today, we are talking about dysfunctional families. I think all families function to the level of awareness. There are helpful and unhelpful parts of these systems. As we increase and change our awareness, we can add tool and skill to create better systems and better functional families. #dysfunctionalfamlies #familysystems #mentalhealth #skillbuilding #changingpatterns

Men's mental health

Today, we are talking about men's mental health. Men are struggling, and consequently, woman are feeling those effects. With marriage rates down and social media movements of men bashing, I wanted to add a different perspective to the conversation. Check in with the partners, friends, dads, brothers and others. Help create a space for their vulnerability.
