We are traveling through life addicted to anxiety or prone to paralysis. Eventually, these ways of coping fail us and those around us. So, how can we come to see our breakdowns as opportunities for our breakthroughs? It begins with taking the journey towards self-awareness. This new Know Thyself series is your step-by-step guide to discover how to pause, observe, and pivot so that you can respond to life’s curveballs with intention instead of reacting with anxiety or paralysis. I will share with you all the tools, tests, and people who have helped me along my own journey. You will walk away with the ability to step out of your own experience, observe your feelings, and, with compassionate curiosity, choose how to respond instead of react. Sound like freedom? Let’s go!

Along the way he has connected with others who are on their own adventures, and is driven to help others unlock their potential to love and be loved greater. Bob isn’t interested in agendas, he’s interested in getting past them and being super real.  Feeling stuck?

Amy Moffett Brown is the bubbly co-host of the wildly popular Bobby Bones Radio Show that airs out of Nashville, Tennessee. At first blush, Amy looks like she has it all--fun job, happy family, partner in successful non-profits. Amy’s wins in life came from broken places that she turned into good--from her Mom’s difficult battle with cancer, to her burden for the impoverished people of Haiti. Jessica and Amy talk about the bravery it takes to actually make lemonade from lemons when your heart is broken, and how simply “asking” in regards to opportunity is a risk we all need to take more often.
