NOTEBOOK III. EPISODE 18(SEASON 2)

November 26, 2022 14:00 - 19 minutes - 18.2 MB

When it comes to relationships, conflict and altercations are inevitable. But it doesn’t have to be emotionally distressing or callous. The trouble with arguments is that they don’t work. I’m not talking about a good debate, where you have some great ideas, and they clash, and you start a healthy back-and-forth that feels fun. I mean arguments – where tension starts to rise, responses start to get personal, and you go around in circles without getting anywhere. Often this kind of conflict ...

VULNERABILITY. EPISODE 15(SEASON 2)

September 30, 2022 23:00 - 21 minutes - 19.6 MB

I know classically, our culture has labeled vulnerability as a weakness. That is why many of us might associate vulnerability with feelings of fear, uncertainty or shame. We may have been taught not to allow ourselves to appear vulnerable (especially men in our society). With vulnerability comes the possibility of rejection or failure, which can be scary. Because of this, we may try to avoid being vulnerable as much as we can. While being vulnerable is often thought of as a sign of we...

Remember that time when someone praised you for something, and you got a huge rush of pleasure? The human connection in conjunction with validation gives us a boost of dopamine that can stay with us days after the event. Human connection is classed as the primary stimulation in dopamine responses, which is why telling someone personally that their existence matters lasts longer than a social media comment of ‘I’m here for you’. This episode is to validate your VALIDATION SEEKING BEHAVIOR. We ...

One of the things that sponsor consistency is the reminder to yourself that no matter what..."I will always SHOW UP!" Others could define this differently but I believe showing up each day is making the commitment to become the best version of yourself. This is done through mindful production and consumption in the essential things in life that stem from your why?

You've often heard the cliché term "trust the process" and while that seems to be an anthem, it simply means let go!!! It's so easy to obsess over the results of something happening in our lives, whether it's a career, a relationship or something else entirely. We tend to do the opposite of trusting the process and get frantic about the things not happening, especially when they don't go the way we expect.
