Easy Does It - A Morris-Jenkins podcast

Jim Rohn said, "It is not what happens that determines the major part of your future. What happens, happens to us all. It is what you do about what happens that counts." What do you do when life serves up a challenge? What's your mindset? Who do you lean on for support? Tune in to this week's episode as we get to know Shalan Fry and learn more about how she has overcome the obstacles in her life.

We all have 'em even if we don't notice them or don't want to acknowledge them. Self-limiting core beliefs are deeply held ideas we have about ourselves that can hinder our personal growth. Things like "I'm not good enough," or "I'm weak or inadequate." You might not hear those exact words in your head, but your actions or behaviors convey them. Tune in to figure out where they come from, how to recognize them, and what to do about it!

The title of this episode was supposed to be "The Kind Person You're Becoming" but by the end, we basically just beg you to DO something! And when we say something, we mean anything that's going to move you closer to the person you want to become. Let's make 2025 about figuring out who we want to become so that we can get all that we want! Once we figure out who we want to become, what we need to DO becomes much clearer. Want to be better in your relationships? Work on your listening skills. Want to lead a healthier life? Work on developing discipline around your everyday choices. Want to be financially free? Work on your knowledge of investing and saving. You get the picture. Let's work toward something we can be proud of at this same time next year! Can't wait to see what you DO in 2025!

When we think of armor, we often imagine the big clunky metal stuff that jousters wear. Guess what...you wear it too! We all mentally "armor up" when we are trying to avoid feeling vulnerable. We hope that it will protect us from blame, shame, or hurt and it can. But it also keeps us from creating genuine connections and relationships with people because we're never allowing ourselves to be truly seen. Check out today's episode for some examples of how we armor up and how to get rid of any armor you might be wearing!
