What if honesty didn’t have to hurt?
In this episode, Connie shares a simple but powerful practice that builds self-awareness, trust, and repair—without shame or damage. We talk about when feedback heals, when it harms, and why time and trust are the real foundation of strong relationships.
This one is for parents, leaders, and community builders who want connection and courage.

Have you ever reached out for connection…
and been humiliated instead?

Rejection has a way of shutting parts of us down.
Not loudly. Quietly.

In this episode, I talk about:

• The difference between shame and humiliation
• Why we build emotional walls
• How old rejection still shapes our relationships
• And how to stay tender without losing boundaries

If you’ve ever felt guarded in love — this one’s for you.

🎧 Listen now.

You don’t have to harden your heart to be honest.
And you don’t have to disappear to be kind.

In this episode, we talk about how to stay tender and have boundaries — how to use your voice with honesty without causing destruction all around you.

This is about attuning in before you speak, holding responsibility for your nervous system, and learning how to stay in relationship without losing yourself.

Tender hearts. Clear edges.
This is the work of belonging.

Parents are the answer right now.
Not because they have it all figured out — but because when parents choose connection over isolation, everything shifts.

In this episode of the Bravely Connected Podcast, we talk about why parenting was never meant to be a solo act, how rebuilding the village protects our kids, and the small, brave ways parents can begin again — together.

You don’t need to fix every conflict to be loving.
Sometimes the most connected thing you can do is stay out of the middle.

In this episode of the Bravely Connected Podcast, we talk about triangulation—what happens when two people are in conflict and a third person gets pulled in to rescue, regulate, or take sides.

We explore how to pause, return responsibility, and resource people to face conflict directly—without losing compassion, connection, or yourself.

🎧 Listen if you’re tired of being the “fixer” and ready to lead with strength and clarity.

January can feel heavy.
Loneliness often hides behind looking fine.

In this episode, Connie shares how being understood is not the same as being known.

We talk about why happiness can’t be the goal, why people don’t want to be fixed—they want to be witnessed—and how true belonging begins within us, not in the rooms we enter.

If you’ve ever felt unseen, even in spaces where you “should” belong, this episode is for you.

Community is changing.
And honestly… it has to.

Burnout, loneliness, and quiet disengagement aren’t personal failures—they’re signals. In this episode, I share 5 predictions for what community must become in 2026 if we want people to stay, belong, and heal together.

We talk about why:
• Who stays matters more than who shows up
• Belonging is no longer a “soft” value—it’s essential infrastructure
• Smaller, place-based communities are rising
• Conflict competence will matter more than perfect programming

This isn’t about building bigger communities.
It’s about building braver, more human ones.

🎧 Listen in and tell me which one stirred something in you.

2026 doesn’t need a better version of you.
It needs a more honest one.
A more rested one.
A more self-connected one.

In this episode, I walk you through 7 things to gently leave behind—not because you failed, but because you’ve grown wise enough to let go.

We talk about:
✨ over-explaining
✨ guilt-based boundaries
✨ relationships that make you shrink
✨ confusing being needed with being valued
✨ waiting until burnout to rest
✨ carrying what was never yours
✨ and belonging that requires self-betrayal

This isn’t about becoming more.
It’s about coming home to yourself—so you can stay bravely connected to others.

The holidays can amplify everything—joy, grief, tension, and old family dynamics.
In this final episode of the year, I’m sharing practical tools to help you stay bravely connected to yourself and others this Christmas. We’ll talk about releasing expectations, reclaiming your peace, and remembering that your belonging isn’t up for negotiation—no matter who’s sitting across the table from you.
If the holidays feel complicated, this episode is for you.

Feeling overwhelmed? You’re not alone — and there’s a deeper reason behind it. In today’s episode, we uncover how shame quietly fuels overwhelm, how expectations hijack our peace, and why simplification and self-awareness are the keys to getting grounded again.

If you’re carrying too much, comparing too much, or reacting instead of responding, this episode will help you breathe, reset, and return to what really matters.

You are beloved. You are enough. Keep being brave.
