Ownit! Powercast

Welcome to episode 51 where we take a deeper dive into what manipulation looks like in our communication, and how it can be so destructive to emotional trust in a relationship.

In this episode we look at the two types of manipulation: dysfunctional fear-based which is more commonplace, and that which is malice based – where there is little care for others, lack of conscious and ability to feel and show empathy. They suck you and everyone else in by seeming so thoughtful, sweet, attentive and they use flattery to get you to let down your guard. That is why manipulation is usually not detected until you've got both feet in the relationship.

Key Elements:

• Look at examples of manipulation on conversation.
• Explain why someone will choose to manipulate rather than be emotionally honest.
• Discuss ways to work on your own manipulative behaviors.

Pay attention when people

react with anger and hostility

to your boundaries.

You have found the edge

where their respect for you ends.

Welcome to episode 48 where it is all about what we need to work on letting go of – if we want to make changes in our lives.

In this episode we explore our natural resistance to letting go of the very things that can get in the way of allowing wonderful change to happen in our lives. It's about taking fears and turning them into great affirmative choice statements that could help us move out the kind of life we truly want. Embracing change is all about embracing reality first – like how we may be keeping ourselves safe…and less fulfilled.

Key Elements:

• Look at some natural fears you may have about putting yourself out there!
• Identify some key facets of changing, and what we need to remember about our fears.
• Create some affirmative statements that keep you focused on what you want rather than what you want to avoid!

Courage is not the absence of fear,

but rather the judgement that

something else

is more important than fear.

Welcome to episode 47 dig down about what it means to truly own and embrace your talents, as well as what you are passionate about. Owning the self means owning these - and especially these – otherwise we hide who we truly are.

In this episode we talk about how vulnerable this process is, and how for many people shame and fear growing up gets in the way of embracing and showcasing your gifts – because shame is all about hiding who we are…not putting ourselves out there to be judged.

Key Elements:

• Identify some of your gifts and what it means to truly Own them.
• Gather some strategies for embracing what is unique to you and heal old wounds.
• Explore how the intersection of your passions and gifts can bring you to your "sweet spot."

Hell,

in my opinion,

is never finding your true self

and never living your own life

or knowing who you are."

― John Bradshaw
