October 25, 2023 08:00 - 12 minutes - 8.66 MBWhat would it be like for you if you just let people be people without trying to change them or wish they were different? Your spouse, or your child, or your Mom, or that crazy neighbor?

149 Do Right!
September 06, 2023 08:00 - 12 minutes - 8.71 MBDo you remember hearing, “Treat others the way you want to be treated”? That’s the Golden Rule. But how often do we actually do that? What’s keeping us from doing it? Every action that we take, thought that we think, or word that we speak comes directly from what we believe.

147 It's Time To Exhale
August 23, 2023 08:00 - 13 minutes - 9.45 MBI know, you can’t actually hold your breath for six years. But metaphorically, apparently you can and not even know it. That is exactly my felt experience these past 6 to 8 weeks. And I didn’t realize that I’d been holding my breath until I exhaled. What did “holding my breath” actually look like? Disassociation - an involuntary survival instinct that helps protect us from mental and physical pain. The brain and body cannot handle processing all that needs to be processed when you’ve exp...

140 How Do You See Yourself?
July 05, 2023 08:00 - 24 minutes - 16.8 MBSo many times, we allow others’ opinions to dictate how we see ourselves. We may even let Satan have a say in that. And sometimes it’s our own brain creating a story that is negative or even a flat out lie. In this episode, I share a recent talk I gave to a youth group during their annual summer retreat. This information is not just for youths! I hear from my adult coaching clients all the time that they wish they’d had this information when they were a teenager. The information I share in...

June 21, 2023 08:02 - 6 minutes - 4.41 MBWe don’t have to take offense. Ever.
