Telling On Ourselves

In this episode we are using a different style to tell our story in recovery.  Vikki is in the hotseat as Mark and Lynn ask Vikki what it was like, what happened, and what her life is like now!

Lynn shares a first thought wrong that is a little cringe (we can relate) and how she turned it around!

REUNITED and it feels so good.  We are back after a summer break and there's LOTS to catch up on!  Appropriately the definition of reunion is:  act or process of being brought together again as a unified whole.  We are feeling whole again.  Enjoy this episode where we discuss everything from clarity of decisions to not having to earn a voice (we already have one).  

This week we talk about how when you give it benefits all!  

This week our topic is spirituality and how we have cultivated it in our lives.  

This weeks episode is all about the joys of getting and giving unsolicited advice.  Why and how it's not usually the best idea.  We share about all the ways we avoid doing it and why it's just not cool!

Active Listening Episode

We delve into the topic of active listening.  How and why it matters, and btw YOU MATTER, a structured way to participate in active listening.  

Definition: the imparting or exchanging information by speaking, writing, or using some other medium.  

Active listening requires that you offer undivided attention and respond verbally and nonverbally in a way that conveys entire interest and respect,” says Dr. Kushnick. “It requires the listener to access a level of self-awareness that precludes all forms of bias, prejudice, and pre-assumption from interfering with an intention to hear the entirety of the message and reflect that the speaker's message was received as it was communicated.”

Topic ideas, do you have a question for us??? We love email [email protected]!  Follow, like and share that really helps us spread the message to anyone that may benefit today!!! XO - Mark, Lynn & Vikki
