  • How Have You Changed Over the Years?

    How have you changed over the years, and what would you want people from your past to know about the person you are today?

    Surprisingly, this one was tough for me, you guys! I learned a lot about the way I look at my own growth and identity - and it reminded me it's not a bad idea to stop and take stock once in a while :)

  • What Is A Parent's Job?
    Taking on a loaded question today, for sure! With two caveats:
    #1: Is your answer actually within your circle of control? Often as parents we assume our job is to ensure our kids turn out a certain way... Well, we CAN control the tools we equip them with, the values we share, and how often we choose to connect with our children; but we CAN'T control who they turn out to be, what they do with the principles we teach them, or how they feel about us when push comes to shove.
    #2: Our answers are just that - our thoughts, specific to us and our situation. They don't negate yours, and we'd love to hear them!

  • How Do You Know When to Raise the Bar?
    "That's something your past self would have happy with."
    When I heard that remark earlier this week I thought, that's absolutely true! Is that a good thing? How do we know when to raise the bar and challenge ourselves, versus when to find contentment and gratitude with what we've accomplished? Can we do both?

  • More Than Anti-racism || Practice Makes Progress
    Introducing a new bonus segment today! ..."Practice Makes Progress". At least once a month, I'll share one thing I'm working toward in my own personal growth, even (and especially) when I don't have it all figured out. This segment is all about pulling together in the mess, and having conversations about the process, not just the "solution" - because I honestly believe we are stronger together. Anti-racism is definitely one of those things, but just like we talked about in our latest episode (#47) I sincerely believe that the single greatest action that would change the world is being willing to listen to, and have more empathy for, each other's stories. And that's really all I get into today :) Listen in for my thoughts and share your own @progressprompts on Instagram and @ https://progressprompts.com/ . Thanks for being here!

  • What Single Action Would Make the World a Better Place?

    If you could speak to a large, diverse group of people (varying religious, cultural, and political affiliations, etc...) for 10 minutes and persuade them to bring about change, what one topic would you address, and what action would you encourage to help make the world a better place?

  • How Do You Handle Unsolicited Advice?

    If I'm gonna be honest, Joe is nicer than I would be about this one (haha!) - but I need to know... How do you handle unsolicited advice? Listen for our thoughts and let us know yours @progressprompts on Instagram and @ https://progressprompts.com/ . Thank you for being here!

  • Helpful vs. Unhelpful Positivity

    Today's progress prompt: What is the difference between helpful vs. unhelpful positivity? I love a bright future as much as anyone, but I also need to be understood and loved where I'm at. 

    We'd love to know what you think. What is the difference between a positive outlook versus someone invalidating your hard or not hearing you? How can we be more empathetic toward each other and yet still help lift each other up?

    Listen in, and let us know your thoughts over at https://progressprompts.com/ or @progressprompts on Instagram.

  • Am I Saying "No" Too Much? Or Not Enough?

    If what we say "yes" (and by extension "no") to determines the values that we put our time and energy toward, how do we know when we're saying "no" too much? or not enough?

    Let us know your thoughts over at https://progressprompts.com/ and @progressprompts on Instagram.
