Ownit! Powercast

Welcome to episode 110 where we finish out the month talking about how we underestimate the power of daily choices that can greatly impact our life.

In this episode we look into how even though we may not see it yet, it's all the tiny choices we have made every day that have brought us to where we are today, for better or worse. Therefore it is the intentional healthy choices we can begin to make TODAY that will add up over time, to help us reach our goals. Tiny choices create big changes if we are diligent and determined!

Key Elements:

• Address how we can be unconscious to how our daily choices shape our future.
• Look at ways to begin creating a plan to reach your goals.
• Identify what we need to focus on if we want our daily choices to be healthier ones.

The choices you make now,

the people you surround yourself with,

they all have the potential to affect your life,

even who you are, forever.

Welcome to episode 109 where we look at what it means to keep yourself, and the other person, in a place of choice when communicating.

In this episode we explore what it means to keep choice in our connections with others. To demonstrate healthy boundaries, detachment, and therefore personal ownership of what belongs to us, and allowing the other to always be choosing.

Key Elements:

• Look at how we can avoid choosing and instead present with a victim-based mindset.
• Identify how blurred boundaries create emotional hostage-taking.
• Practice "being in choice" in your communication, creating emotional safety and the atmosphere for deeper connection.

Whatever you decide,

don't let it be because

you don't think

you have a choice.

you love

Welcome to episode 105 where we look at something we crave the most in all of our relationships: genuine, vulnerable connection. To have a bond with someone where we feel safe, seen and heard. Accepted.

In this episode we explore the many facets of what comprises a healthy emotional connection, from compatibility to boundaries and how the healthiest of our close relationships provide a deep, meaningful connection that is built over time with love and intention. It means each of you being safe, healthy, and respectful with genuine caring and like mindedness, and good commitment to the relationship. All the work you've been doing on yourself will naturally bring you to this place of wanting and needing good, strong substantive connection with others.

Key Elements:

• Define what healthy connection really means – and it's not just chemistry.
• Look at what might be getting in the way of bonding in your relationships.
• Explore how you can begin to practice being a better connector!

We all long to be seen, heard, loved,

and understood. It's what we all need.

Welcome to episode 104 where we look at perhaps the most foundational piece to have trust and closeness in a relationship: Boundaries.

In this episode we take some time to reflect and look at our relationships and look for the boundary issues, because they aren't always immediately visible. In fact, we can mistake someone' s chaos for bad luck, codependent behavior for their caring and rescuing us, and our own struggle to face reality as "doing the best we can." If we want trust in our relationships, then we must have boundaries. With ourselves…and with them.

Key Elements:

• Do a mini-assessment of your relational boundaries.
• Look at examples of healthy physical, emotional and time boundaries.
• Examine the internal boundaries we need for good self-care.

Daring to set boundaries

is about having the courage

to love ourselves even when

we risk disappointing others.

Welcome to episode 102! This month we are going to be looking at what makes a relationship relatively healthy and viable, and how to assess the ones you're in. Each week we will look at different aspects of this, since each one is so important and a discussion in and of themselves.

In this episode we talk about how sometimes we cannot see the unhealthy in our relationships until others point it out or something awful happens. The conflict gets worse and/or the consequences become too big to rationalize or ignore anymore. That's why it's so important to keep learning and keep assessing where you are, and where others are in terms of personal growth.

Key Elements:

• Identify some of the key areas we should look at to see how healthy things are.
• Explore some of the basic tenants of a healthy relationship.
• Bonus download: taking a moment to look within.
