Hard conversations are possible if we verify what we are saying is truth, lead with grace, and navigate the reality that not all tough topics are received well - so humility is needed.

When we are in a season of distress, a season of confusion, or a season of waiting, reframes can be an incredibly helpful tool to help alleviate some of the angst! Take a quick listen for a powerful tool that aids in mental wellness.

If there is one attitude that will take us to new heights, it is walking forward, with purpose, as though we cannot fail. Will we have struggles? Of course! Life can be tough. But seasons where we sew well will be followed by seasons of harvest - so we should proceed as though success it inevitable!

We should be lifelong learners, but we should not be lifelong dependents on other people's plans. As we grow in our knowledge and understanding, we should begin to cowrite our own stories.

Change can be intimidating, but lets talk about small steps that might get you closer to that elusive happiness - or more importantly, purpose and meaning - that we tend to want to experience.

Have we given over our self-agency? Are we disempowering ourselves in our stories? Are we blaming others for a lack of happiness in our own lives? Let's chat about that.

Yes, we have a role in other's stories. However, there are limits to how much we can help - and how much we should be helping! Entrusting other's in their stories is paramount.

Why do we think what we think? It is because we listen or because we wrestle out our own perspectives? There is an important distinction between listening and thinking. Take a quick listen - but think about this too!

Living an active life has a price tag. Living a passive life has a steeper price tag. If you're not going to go for what you want, regret is the backup plan.

If we would like to get our needs met, there is direct and clear communication, and then there is passive-aggressive communication. If the latter is showing up, reconsider its "necessity" and usefulness.
