Breaking Up with our Bullsh!t

Episode 111: "Without ______, I Won't Survive"

Tawny and JDK examine a story that can range from being about something relatively innocuous to about the most important elements of our lives. What exactly do we really need to "survive" things emotionally? What do we limit in and for ourselves when we accept this BS story as real? What can shift for us and within us by noticing those things that we believe we cannot live without?

Episode 110: "That's Just How I Am"

Tawny and JDK take on this very subtle and often thorny BS story - one that is often hidden under some legitimate things about and within ourselves. How do we know if something is really "how we are" or we are actually afraid to try something new or look at a part of ourselves that brings us discomfort? Learning to discern and allowing ourselves to be open are starting points, and see what else Tawny and JDK have to say about this important subject!

Episode 109: "That's Too Hard"

Tawny and JDK dig into what both agree is a real "bummer" story that can cause us a lot of pain and limit us in numerous ways. What makes us determine that something is "too hard?"

Episode 107: "Speaking Up For Myself Is Selfish"

Tawny and JDK untangle the threads of this powerful BS story that robs us of our agency and disconnects us from others.

 Episode 106: "Nobody Listens to Me" 

A powerful BS story like this one has a lot of layers hiding underneath it, all of them connecting back to what we feel we want or need and, for some reason, are not getting from others or - most importantly - from ourselves. How can we break up with this BS story, especially if we all have not really learned how to be great listeners in ways that foster connection in ourselves and with others? Listen in to this episode for a few good places to start....

Episode 105: "Ordinary is Boring" 

Why is it that we often think that the ordinary things in life are a problem? That they are in the way of us living a quality life and finding meaning or purpose? Tawny and JDK spend time digging into this subtly powerful BS story this week, asking us to examine how we might frame those "everyday" things differently to find so much more of what we seek than if we constantly pursue stimulation, excitement, and achievement at the expense of living in - and finding the beauty in - the Now.

Tawny and JDK explore all the messages we get - and give ourselves - about our drive to find Happiness - even though it is something quite difficult to actually define!

 Episode 104: "If I Don't Do It, No One Will"

Taking a good look at what we each bring to the "dances" that comprise our relationships, Tawny and JDK highlight some different ways of seeing and acting that can help us break up with this BS story....
