Community Routes

This week Julie and Samuel field a listener question about varying degrees of emotional maturity. How can you support someone so they can grow? How can you avoid dependency? How can you monitor your own emotional stability and growth? We talk in depth about all of these questions and more.

Episode 50 is coming out soon! Reach out and let us know how you want us to celebrate. Thanks for walking with us!

Hey neighbors!  Samuel here.  My voice is shot, but I'm glad I get a chance to send you this message anyway.  "The crew is back in-person!" We finally met in JHR Headquarters: Worthington, Ohio.   You can feel the energy in the room. I am so excited for y'all to hear our newest episode.  We talk about the buzzword "Codependency" and what it means to have an unhealthy, boundariless relationship.  We also dive into healthy relationship practices and what healthy boundaries look like.  I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I do!

This week Julie and Sarah continue to speak with podcaster and trauma therapist, La Shanda Sugg. They discuss trauma, its effects, and how systemic problems can create trauma.  They expand on ideas like "Disabilities" or the DSM-5.  La Shanda is a fellow Pia Mellody scholar, so Julie and La Shanda discuss her work as well.  This is a two part episode, combined into a single episode.

This week we discuss the hard topic of difficult conversations.  With COVID 19 and the Black Lives Matter movement, it's imperative that we learn how to talk with each other.  Samuel shares his experience with Communication Theory, which compliments Julie's mental health studies. We tackle felt safety, as well as some strategies for calming down.  I hope you enjoy this week!
