Conversations With Cinthia

Why do we keep doing the same things again and again, expecting different results even though we continue to get the old ones?  If you’ve listened to Cinthia for long, you won’t be surprised to hear that both the problem and the solution have to do with the ways we think.  Cinthia explains that our brains tend to respond to triggers by going down neural pathways that have been created over time, reinforcing them even further every time we travel there.  She also explores ways we can challenge these own patterns and work on creating and traveling down some new neural and behavioral roads.

The word “vibe” can make people think of different things, some of which are hard to define or differentiate.  But we do know that our bodies have electricity, chemicals, and other physical properties that influence our “sense” of those around us.  When should we trust our intuition?  What is the difference between heeding those difficult-to-define danger signals and jumping to unfair conclusions about others?  Join Cinthia to consider what we mean by “vibes” and how to approach these vague feelings that can seem so confusing.  To dive deeper into the message of each podcast, we've created a study guide for each episode.

Why do human beings (who, by the way, need love desperately) fight so hard against the gift we most need?  What should we do when we wonder whether a gesture of love or kindness might have strings attached?  And, when we do try to give and receive love with another person, why do we sometimes feel as if we are speaking different languages?  Join Cinthia to explore why the love we most need is sometimes so threatening to us and to take a step toward more effectively enjoying the gift of love.  To dive deeper into the message of each podcast, we've created a study guide for each episode.

As a holiday, Thanksgiving can take a lot of preparation.  But the actual giving of thanks requires ongoing realignment of our hearts and minds.  The good news is that it is worth the work on so many levels!  Now that last Thursday's feast has come and gone, join Cinthia to look at the continual feast that gratitude can create.  To dive deeper into the message of each podcast, we've created a study guide for each episode.

We can like, enjoy, and respect people with all kinds of differences from ourselves, but true intimacy requires a shared value system.  We know we will not agree with our spouses about everything all the time – in fact, some might even say that “opposites attract” or that differences can help to create chemistry!  But core values are those beliefs that most deeply influence the way we live our lives.  Join Cinthia to consider your deepest values and how they impact your closest relationships.  To dive deeper into the message of each podcast, we've created a study guide for each episode.

Do you think of yourself as a leader or a follower?  Do you want to teach or to be taught?  Whether or not we own it, each of us gives and receives influence, and we are responsible for our behavior in each role.  How can we own our influence and be teachable at the same time?  What does it mean to be accountable for what we teach and what we learn?  Join Cinthia to talk about all this and more.

Traditions are powerful, and their impact can be positive, negative, or mixed.  What happens when a tradition seems to do more harm than good?  What about when traditions devolve into going through motions that simply cause more stress, or when family makeup changes and different people bring different traditions to the table?  Is there a way to hold onto the connections traditions provide while respectfully retiring or adjusting those that need to change?  As we enter the holidays, join Cinthia to consider what to do with our traditions.  To dive deeper into the message of each podcast, we've created a study guide for each episode.

We've all been there... burnout.  It's the point when we don't care anymore.  It goes beyond stress into the realm of despair.  What do we do when the value of the journey seems to pale in comparison with the tedium, the pain, the effort of continuing?  What about those times when we no longer have much hope, and even the thought of victory seems too far away to matter?  Join Cinthia for a look at beating burnout in our everyday lives.  To dive deeper into the message of each podcast, we've created a study guide for each episode.

Why do some people lie more often than others?  More easily than others?  Do most people who lie meet the stereotype of a manipulative, generally unethical person?  While acknowledging that lies can come in many forms and happen for many reasons, Cinthia explains that, for many of us, most of our lies result from fear.  So what fears are getting between you and the truth?  To dive deeper into the message of each podcast, we've created a study guide for each episode.

What is it like to be in close relationship with you?  To have a conversation with you?  To stand next to you in line at the DMV?  Today Cinthia encourages us each to consider whether our ways of relating to others are generally more positive or negative and what impact this has on those around us.  She discusses some characteristics that may make us generally more high- or low-risk for others (and vice versa), as well as some habits that tend to make things better or worse for those who cross our paths.  In a society that seems to promote both the selfish indulgence of our own whims at the expense of others AND the anxiety-riddled determination to validate everyone else’s feelings and beliefs all the time, how can we learn to be basically safe humans for the people next to us?  To dive deeper into the message of each podcast, we've created a study guide for each episode.
