The Accidental Mentor

From Pits to Pedestals: The Power of Choosing Encouragement Over Judgment


Listen Later

Today, we unpack the idea of putting people on pedestals and managing fear and anxiety, two topics close to our hearts.

We explore Julie's battles with anxiety, lessons learned from her mother and grandmother’s experiences, and how she's rewiring her brain for peace. I’ll share my insights on attachment, handling anxiety, and the importance of having supportive relationships during our most overwhelming phases.


As we discuss our struggles with self-esteem and the lies we've been told about our worth, we'll also emphasize the crucial lesson of finding your stability before trying to lift others. It's a journey filled with humor, vulnerability, and life lessons.


Key Topics Discussed In This Episode:

  • Handling Anxiety and Emotional Literacy
  • The role of rewiring brain patterns and faith in overcoming anxiety.
  • Discussions on low self-esteem and feelings of being uniquely flawed.
  • Personal experience with not reporting sexual harassment.
  • Stability Before Helping Others


Quote of the Episode:

"But really it is both the prophetic encouragement ( the word of God), it's the encouragement of reminding you who you are and whose you are that helps you shake things off yourself. You shake off the dirt. I can't dust you off and then say, just step up. And the reason why we don't like it is it takes time. Think about all the dirt that you have to shake off to get up that hole, all the dirt.” - Charlene
