In the first half of this interview with Dr. Jennifer Finlayson-Fife, We get to hear her share her very real and raw experience with raising her own son who is on the autism spectrum. We discuss how very important it is to put our brains to work finding our village and the extra help we need to find time for belonging to ourselves which is absolutely vital to personal peace and joy. We go on to discuss how when the personal sacrifice is too high due to lack of time spent in personal growth and development as well as taking time for self-care and rejuvenation, the consequences, not only self but life and relationships, can become detrimental. She shares with us that accepting that caring for special needs children is challenging allows us to work at finding solutions, as long as we don’t move into a place of self pity or becoming a victim to our circumstances.

Dr. Brad Wilcox says, “I don’t love because they love me. I follow Christ’s pattern and I love first.” In part two of our interview with Brad and his daughter and Autism mom, Wendee Wilcox Rosborough, we hear Brad share with us his thoughts on acting courageously with intention versus reacting immediately and emotionally, thus creating negative outcomes.

We discuss with Brad and Wendee that when we understand that we can never control another person and most life circumstances, we can concentrate on staying in our own business and focusing on how we think, feel, and act, so that we are better able to show up in love for those around us. We conclude by discussing how happiness is founded on faith, family, friendship, and work.

We all have experiences in life that can bring up fear, doubt, and insecurity. When we can recognize these feelings only arise as we allow our minds to offer us thoughts, we can become aware and compassionate, thanking our brain for trying to keep us safe. Then, we can remember that our brain just wants to do what’s easy and comfortable, and stretch ourselves outside our comfort zone to create confidence in our ability to trust that we will make the best decision that we can, and then move forward either in success or with an opportunity for learning and growth. So instead of telling yourself I can’t or I don’t know or spinning in worry and indecision, offer to yourself that you do know and you already have all of the answers that you need to have the confidence to make decisions and create the life you want! Trust yourself! You got this!

If you would like some help becoming more confident and explore ways to trust yourself, reach out to Kimberlee!

Adversity...when you hear that word do you think of it as something FOR you, to help you grow and make you stronger? OR are you angry at it, with feelings of entitlement that you shouldn’t have to experience it? When we can understand and truly believe that we have everything we need in any given moment to face and overcome any challenge, we will find solutions. It’s when we succumb to feeling of overwhelm, frustration, and exhaustion that we keep ourselves from growing, progressing, and becoming a better version of ourselves. Instead of resisting adversity and thinking that things should be different or that something has gone wrong, we can lean in and accept that as we move through adversity we gain RESILIENCE! Then the next time adversity rears it’s head, you’ll be better able to say “how is this happening FOR me to learn and grow?” instead of becoming the victim that says “this shouldn’t be happening TO me.”

When we can accept that pain is just part of the human experience, we remove all the drama we add on top and stop wasting precious brain energy trying to remove the pain. This allows us to feel the pain, process the emotions that come with it instead of layering emotion and creating misery, and accept that life is 50/50 which puts our brain to work finding the good in our lives again. Today we want to offer you ideas that can help you avoid creating unnecessary suffering which will help you decide if you really want to choose to feel disappointed, or not. When we can get out of spinning in misery we are better able to find solutions to the problems we feel are creating the disappointment. Try asking yourself “why is it a problem?” Remember, pain and joy are not mutually exclusive...it can all exist beautifully together if we are aware and working on our mindfulness. We feel the good, the happy, the joy BECAUSE of the pain.

Humans are amazing at reading other humans...but unfortunately our brains want to offer to us that we should mirror or match what we’re seeing.

When you choose not to match or mirror negative behavior from others, not only does this create more personal peace but it also has a calming, positive impact on those around you.

What you think ends up being the outcome you create. So when we can find compassion for ourselves and others, the outcome turns out way better for everyone.

Remember, what others are thinking or feeling is none of your business! So pay attention to what is your business...your own thoughts, feelings, and actions.

Just breathe, slow down, think it through, and show up in love.

We know it’s the end of January, but we saved this episode on goal setting, for the last week of January ON PURPOSE! Your desire to keep achieving your goals and resolutions for the new year may be starting to diminish. We have the answer that will keep you going strong and working hard towards your goals.

For anything you want to achieve in your life, will-power alone is not likely to get you the outcome you’re seeking. You have to love your reasons! So when your brain offers you thoughts of why you shouldn’t achieve your goals, you will be able to fall back on the reasons you love to keep going and achieve what you set out to accomplish.

Remember that the most important relationship you have is with yourself so, when thoughts arise with excuses as to why you shouldn’t achieve or accomplish whatever it is you’re working towards, remind yourself that YOU SHOW UP FOR YOU. Even when you don’t want to, you honor your relationship with yourself by following through with commitments you’ve made to yourself.

If you would like more guidance with goal setting and finding your reasons to accomplish whatever you want, Kimberlee is a certified life coach and wants to work with you! She would love to help you gain the tools to help you through your daily challenges on your journey to clarity.
