Today, we speak with Anna's younger sister, Mary J. Austin. MJ is an undergraduate student at Harding University studying Communication Sciences & Disorders with hopes of becoming a Speech Language Pathologist. She is also the volunteer coordinator at a non-profit and wearer of many other hats.   A few topics covered include:   -What it's like to be a part of a generation that has yet to be named/labeled!   -We myth bust a few of the common stereotypes of Millenials and discuss why everything actually is not their fault!   -We discuss what it was like to grow up always having access to internet... (or did she?) and the positivities that have come from that easy accessibility    -MJ explains the thought process behind knowing that she might not actually end up doing what she's studying in college as a career and why that's okay, as well as the benefits she's experiencing from learning interpersonal skills & how to talk to people!   -Together, we discuss how things automatically get less "scary" after you do them the first time! And what it looks like to do things even though they're scary aka tolerating discomfort. MJ reminds us that, "I can be uncomfortable and enjoy it at the same time."    -Katie shares some thoughts about what "enjoying the journey" means to her and Anna chimes in with disclosing something she's gotten really, really good at over the years. (Hint: It's probably not what you think!)   -MJ shares a recent example of how she's used her creativity with a task she felt "completely unqualified" for.   -We discuss what it's like to have perfectionism tendencies and some practical strategies for overcoming that. During this segment, we reference the Enneagram, which is (in Katie's opinion), the holy grail of Personality Tests. Contact us to discuss further. We'd love to.   -MJ discusses using creativity in the midst of her busiest season of life yet and what the benefits of creativity really are to her, leading to our first official argument for creativity on the show.   -We discuss what that elusive J really stands for and what songs have or have not been written about her famous name.   -MJ leaves us with this incredible word of wisdom: "Don't let the fear of the unknown freeze you in your tracks." (and a few other great train metaphors)   Let us know what you think of this episode by contacting us through the links below!   Connect with us online! www.doingscarythings.com Email us!
