That Which Matters

Fearing break-ups, embarrassment, consequences or the reaction of others to our ugly or difficult truth; this is what keeps the false tales flowing. How can we be transparent and walk in truth?

For the four legged boys and girls who have celebrated your entrances, soothed your emotional and physical bruises, and been that silent support system when human words fail: this episode celebrates them.

Being victimized is painful and not to be minimized. However, our freedom from the offense is in our hands and not within the control of the perpetrators, whether they are strangers, relatives or people in our own home. How can we forgive and yet not minimize the impact of their actions? How can we forgive and not necessarily be in a relationship with that person?

Do you ever have an "over the top" reaction to a word, a sound, a sight, or an experience? After the burst of emotion subsides, this is a good time to investigate your personal triggers and signs that you have been triggered.

"All I want to do is to be happy.” Has this been your lament and declaration? This podcast challenges that statement and demands a definition and readjusting of your perception of happiness and fulfillment.

To be rejected, overlooked, blindsided with trauma, ignored, under celebrated, undervalued or simply taken for granted, can thrust us all into a sea of sadness. Although no one can say that they completely understand your pain, our emotional reactions to these events are to be acknowledged.

In this series on emotions, this episode focuses on fear and its many layers. What is the root of our fear and how can we both acknowledge and combat it?

This series on emotions begins with exploring the dimensions of anger: Who is allowed to be angry? Why do we want boys and God to express this emotion and girls to squash it? When is anger appropriate and when is it hovering over other hidden emotions?

A download of wisdom and hope for the preparation of the newly recorded season!
