June 02, 2019 22:00 - 20 minutes - 9.47 MBChanging one of our own behaviors can make us uncomfortable. In fact, behavioral change can often cause us to feel like we're being pushed beyond what we can bear. The amount of stress we can tolerate, either physically or psychologically, is called our "Distress Tolerance."

So, what do we do if we find ourselves stressed-out and uncomfortable because of...
Ep2.15 Dear Younger Self 1
May 26, 2019 14:00 - 27 minutes - 12.5 MBOver a year ago, my good friend, Alissa Rieth and I were having coffee and talking about writing projects. After finding out we both journaled regularly, I asked, "Wouldn't it be interesting if we pulled our old journal entries, and then wrote responses to our younger selves, from our current age in life? We could share what we have learned, what we would do differently, and then use our insights from the past to guide our futures, etc.." Alissa's mouth fell open and she shared that exact...

Ep2.12 Thinking about our Thoughts
April 30, 2019 20:00 - 30 minutes - 13.9 MBUnless we think about our thoughts - they JUST HAPPEN. Thoughts do not always tell the truth - sometimes they even lie to us. We don't have to believe every thought that goes through our heads! We need to start examining our 70,000 thoughts/day to see if they help us or hurt us. When we find ourselves wanting to participate in unhealthy thinking, feeling, or activities, we have to examine the triggering event or circumstances and what are we thinking about them. What pre-recorded tapes...

Cook, write, draw, doodle, paint, scrapbook, take pictures, collage, knit, rebuild an engine, sculpt, dance, decorate, act, sing – it doesn’t matter. As long as we’re cre...

This week's podcast defines 'values', the importance of identifying our values, how to identify ...

March 03, 2019 06:00 - 33 minutes - 15.5 MBEpisode 2.4 teaches us more about our internal parts - specifically, our "protectors". These parts are called protectors because just like Superman, Scarface, Dirty Harry, or the Terminator….

There are two key types of protector roles, ...

Ep1.10 a New Way to Think: Parallel Thinking
January 27, 2019 21:00 - 35 minutes - 16.1 MBThe way we think is really what we're considering when we're talking about how to change habits. (as we discussed in Ep1.9) Psychologist, Jordan Peterson, captures a unique viewpoint on thinking in his book, 12 Rules for Life, which then led me to remember another book by Edward DeBono called, Six Thinking Hats.

January 13, 2019 06:00 - 22 minutes - 10.3 MBIn this podcast, I take a look at what social community has looked like in the recent past, and how it has shifted in the last 50 years. I believe that WE, as humans, are MEANT for community!! Always have been, always will be.

The only way we're going to find belonging is if we take one step towards connecting.
