Last week, I told you we would be digging more into why blaming is toxic to our systems and how it affects our ability to listen with love. The truth is we are actually doing a disservice to the people we are trying to help when we contribute to their toxic pattern of blame. Blaming […]

Ep.09 Listening with Love: Pay Attention to Emotional Triggers
(Podcast available on 7/29/2022) What’s interesting about this process is that every week I’m presented with challenges that keep me from listening with love.

Ep.08 Listening with Love: NOT Insisting On Our Own Way
(Podcast available 7/22/22) I don’t know about you, but I struggle with not insisting on my own way sometimes. I get this thought in my head that says, “I KNOW what’s best for you.” That belief is DEFINITELY not a part of listening with love. That is me trying to control someone else’s journey and […]

Ep.07 Listening with Love: In the Depths of Grief
(Podcast available July 15, 2022) People can feel grief over ANY loss. Any time our life changes in away where we feel like we are letting go of a piece of us, we grieve.

Going Deeper: Teachable Moments
Something you might not know about me is I’ve been working through a GIANT fear of reading out loud since I was in elementary school, so recording podcasts is me literally pushing past my fears. It is a rare thing that I’m able to record an episode in just one take. Not knowing how to […]

Ep.04 Listening with Love: Why Are We SO Scared of Feelings?
How are you feeling right now? Not today or ten minutes ago, but right now. I don’t want to hear the dismissive comebacks like good, fine, okay, or triggered. I’m not interested in the story that is keeping you a prisoner of your perspective at this moment. I just want to know: What are you […]

Ep.03 Listening with Love: How Can I Make Myself Feel Seen and Heard?
Expecting others to be anyone other than who they are isn’t serving anyone. The expectation only builds resentment when they can’t live up to our illusion of who we think they are supposed to be. We become victim to our own expectations, and we continue to feel unseen and unheard. We not only can’t listen […]
