Let’s work with one another for a common effort. In the spirit of collaboration, join us and our TWO special guests, Carolina Kane and Blake Yoho. We are continuing our journey by uncovering again just how much more we thrive when we are connected to those around us; when we are able to rely on other individuals for inspiration and not just ourselves. How can we build that trust that we all bring something to the table? Like most good things, collaboration challenges us to dig a little deeper in order to grow. And we have to let others in; that’s where the magic happens.

Join us today to talk about congruence with our special guest, Dr. Tracy Masterson. She’s a clinical psychologist, Associate Professor in the Psychology department, and teaches many of the Child Development courses at John Carroll University. Let’s explore the way we think, believe, behave, and act with consistency. We want to be aligned and congruent, even when, and especially when, it is difficult. We thrive off of congruence as individuals, even to our own detriment sometimes. Dr. Masterson reminds us that we have to "walk the walk" in aligning our lives with our beliefs and leadership.

Delaney and Caroline sit down with their friend, Andrew Cera. Andrew shares about how the consciousness of self-value has aligned with his Jesuit formation. He talks with us about how we are called to live the discerning life by: being aware of the world, accounting for our emotions, and taking action. We hope that you’ll join us on the journey to live as people of greater of depth, individuals with our eyes wide open.
