Seasoned Dialogue with Lisa-Marie

Love doesn’t embody control; it thrives in freedom. True love nurtures individuality and respects boundaries, allowing each person to grow in their own way. It is not about possession, manipulation, or coercion, but about trust, respect, and mutual understanding. Love encourages self-expression and empowers both individuals to be their authentic selves without fear of judgment or retribution. It embraces vulnerability and imperfection, knowing that genuine connection is born from acceptance, not domination.

In this episode, I address the power of choosing not to react when people try to provoke us, either intentionally or unintentionally. I emphasize that not every action needs a reaction and that engaging in unnecessary conflicts only drains our energy and disrupts our peace. I encourage everyone to understand the importance of silence and how it can be a powerful response. Silence doesn't mean weakness; it can signify strength and control over one's emotions.

Throughout the episode, I highlight the significance of protecting our peace and urge everyone to reflect before reacting, asking themselves if the conversation will truly lead to greater understanding or just more frustration. Prioritizing peace over conflict, I advocate for walking away from arguments and choosing silence over drama.

Finally, I want to to remind everyone that they are not obligated to engage in every conflict and should feel empowered to guard their peace.

In this episode, I, share my personal journey of evolving faith and the profound impact God's grace has had on my life. I recount how, at times, I hesitated or diverted from God's call due to reluctance or fear, and the subsequent heaviness and conviction I felt. Through my narrative, I emphasize how God requires different parts of us at different stages in our spiritual growth, gently guiding and preparing us step by step.

I highlight how God’s love and grace have been instrumental in my healing journey, especially during my darkest moments. The importance of relying on God rather than just my understanding is underscored, as well as the wisdom and calm that come from being enveloped in faith. Through a verse from 1 Samuel 16:7, I stress that God judges us by our hearts rather than outward appearances. I share personal reflections on forgiveness, the challenges I faced, and how I perceive my role not as an influencer but as a creator driven by God's inspiration.

The episode ends on an encouraging note, reassuring viewers of God's endless love, support, and the bigger plans He has for each of us, urging everyone to embrace His grace and the unique path He has laid out for them.

In this episode of Seasoned Dialogue, we're diving deep into the world of people pleasing. People pleasing often leads to a severe lack of boundaries, self-esteem issues, and a constant need for validation. I know firsthand that changing this behavior is challenging and forces us to reflect on our fears—whether it’s fear of rejection or grappling with low self-esteem.

I recommend strategies like writing down your feelings and setting clear boundaries to begin overcoming these tendencies. It’s also crucial to manage guilt, affirm your self-worth, and limit exposure to negative influences for self-care. It’s equally important to celebrate your progress, no matter how small, in setting boundaries and prioritizing yourself. After all, saying yes to yourself and no to others sometimes is necessary for mental and emotional well-being.

Failing to set boundaries can take a real toll on your health, impacting your lifestyle and overall well-being. Prioritizing self-care isn’t just a buzzword; it’s essential for your happiness. Happiness should always come from within, and it's not your responsibility to make others happy.

People pleasers not only lack boundaries but also feel responsible for others' feelings. This leads to exhaustion and resentment because there's rarely any reciprocation. It's a constant cycle of prioritizing others at the expense of self, which can even strain relationships due to an inability to be authentic or communicate openly.

I host self-love coaching sessions for both men and women to address these deep-rooted issues. In these sessions, we focus on doing the work with intention to foster genuine self-love and personal growth. Remember, your worth isn’t tied to how useful or agreeable you are to others.


I hope this encapsulates the essence of the podcast episode for you!

In this episode of "The Pivot," I offer motivational advice for those struggling with indecision and fear. The importance of taking small steps toward one's goals and  understanding that these minor pivots can lead to significant changes are important.

1. **Incremental Progress**: Take small, manageable steps toward your goals. Even a single pivot or decision can move you closer to your objectives.

2. **Overcoming Fear**: Fear often holds people back from making necessary changes. Embrace change despite the fear, what's on the other side of needed decisions is worth the discomfort.

3. **Faith and Prayer**: Praying for guidance and for the right people to come into your life can make a significant difference.

4. **Seek Wisdom**: Surround yourself with wise, loving individuals who can provide insights and guidance. However, also be cautious about whom you share your plans with, as negativity or ignorance from others can be detrimental.

5. **Be True to Yourself**: Consistently emphasize the importance of staying true to who you are, embracing your authentic self, and not letting fear or societal pressure change your core values.

6. **Action is Required**: It's not enough to have faith or pray; you also need to take action toward your goals. God helps those who help themselves by taking actionable steps.

7. **Process Over Perfection**: Understand that nothing is perfect from the get-go. Life is a series of steps and processes. Trust the process and believe that everything will work out in due time.

8. **Value of Memories**: Capture moments through pictures as they tell a story and serve as a grounding reminder of how you felt at a particular moment in time.

9. **Support and Encouragement**: The importance of community and support,  sharing your stories, and supporting each other provides a strong impact.

10. **Navigate Setbacks**: View setbacks or "no's" as opportunities to learn and build rather than as definitive ends. This involves understanding the reasons behind a setback and actively working to overcome them.

In this episode we discuss the emotional turmoil and reactions that arise when someone distorts the truth about a falling-out, making the victim appear to be the aggressor. People shift blame to protect their self-esteem and avoid guilt or responsibility for negative outcomes. This behavior stems from a lack of honesty, self-accountability, and the fear of consequences.

I also introduce the concept of cognitive dissonance, where individuals hold contradictory beliefs that cause internal conflict, leading them to blame others rather than face the truth. Preserving one's emotional well-being by not wasting energy on correcting false narratives and by distancing oneself from toxic individuals is an important aspect to consider.

The significance of maintaining self-respect and self-worth highlights the need to recognize and avoid problematic people while keeping one's peace. Ultimately, focus on your well-being and let go of the need to overexplain or correct the misconceptions of others.

Overthinking can lead to extreme scenarios that often don't come to pass, causing stress, anxiety, and a pessimistic mindset. Overthinking can result in mental and physical exhaustion, impact sleep, and strain relationships due to increased critical feelings and misunderstandings. To combat overthinking, I advocate for strategies like mindfulness, setting time limits for decision-making, and focusing on actionable steps. I also suggests removing oneself from the situation, utilizing breath work, engaging in activities like listening to music or reading, and even prayer.
