SEASON 2 US VS. THAT VIDCAST - Episode #17: Cyberbullying and its consequences.

Today’s episode is different than all episodes prior.

It’s RAW. It’s REAL. It’s UNCUT and UNEDITED.

It is the first of many like this.

Because, real life is messy, it’s not always perfect and we have to learn to let that be okay.

We created the process to help facilitate emotional conversations with self, and with others. It is intended to be a tool to simplify self-help, teach emotional management skills and bring difficult emotions and stories too light. We use the process in almost all areas of our life, and today, we chose to talk about two major subjects that have recently impacted us in a big way.

1. Cyberbullying.

2. Suicide.

If you need help, be brave. Ask for it.

If you see someone who needs help, say something. Do something.

We can’t sit by ideally, any longer.

It is ALL OF US VS THAT.

SUICIDE PREVENTION LIFELINE: 1-800-273-8255

Episode #16: “Did I do this right?”

Self confidence is something that many struggle with and it is a constant player in our lives.

Self confidence, self belief, and ownership of decisions are skills that most overlook. They are crucial tools that many don’t realize are involved in almost every moment.

Shauna discusses a time in life, when she shared a bedroom with her older sister. Explaining how growing up in a shared space with an older sibling helped create a fear of being alone, as well as co-dependent relationship with others.

It wasn’t until later in life when she realized that, “we can’t mess this up!”

This was a hard earned lesson, but absolutely crucial for her personal growth.

Noticing a pattern of seeking outside validation, and choosing different.

Mantra: I am solid, I am safe, I can trust in Me.

Episode #15: Is this your birthday party?

My wife through me a birthday party - except nothing about this party was actually FOR ME.

It was actually the exact opposite thing than what I wanted.

I wanted a quiet night with my wife.

Corey shares an experience about a birthday party that Shauna threw for him. He felt like she wasn’t listening to him and that he didn’t feel seen or heard. He shared that he learned more about her and how he could love her better. He also created boundaries and had this conversation with his wife.

Episode #14: “Be tough."

It was always such a point of pride to be tough and strong.

As men, we’ve been taught to value our strength. We connect with other men because of it.

Toughness was wrapped up in everything as a kid. The “GET UP” mentality was taught to us - even if you are hurt. I realized just how deep this belief about fixing other peoples situations and being tough was for me.

Corey shares an experience about watching his hero, his dad, wrestle with the grief of losing his mother. Watching his dad cry taught him to stand up a little straighter and be strong for those who needed his support. This impacted Corey in a big way. He took on the "fixer" role and avoided feeling anything in hopes to remain strong for others. Can you relate?

Episode #13: I never have enough money.

My relationship with money started from a very young age.

I am the youngest of 5 children.

And all of my siblings always shared how spoiled I was.

But….

I didn’t feel spoiled.

I actually don’t really remember having extra at all.

I often felt this feeling of guilt for wanting more - and shame for not having enough.

Shauna shares two very different beliefs around her experience with money from a young age. These stories have played a major role in the way that she has experienced money her entire life. Now, she believes that she has a better foundation….

“I had to spend time with it so it can no longer control me.” S

Episode #12: Am I a professional?

The work that I had been doing, from a young age, felt like it was given to me because of who I knew.

Never based on my own merit.

Or at least that’s what my belief told me.

Corey shares a story with us about him not feeling like a professional because he didn’t feel he got there on his own. As he works through the process, he learns that it was his work ethic and good attitude that gave other people an opportunity to find work for him.

Episode #11: The Comparison Game

Have you ever doubted an idea because you saw that someone ELSE was doing something similar?

Does it bring up any of these thoughts?

-I’m not enough.

-They did more than I did.

-My idea isn’t as good as me.

Corey shares a story with us about a time that he was feeling down about himself. In the middle of creating something new and exciting, he found himself doubting his creativity because someone else may be creating something similar. He started asking myself questions: In what ways are you doing things different? Instead of focusing on the ways the product is the same…. in what ways can you see YOU shine through? Corey remembers that no one can do this project the way that he can. That is the gift.

Episode #10: l am safe

A battle that I’ll fight the rest of my life.

Fear has a tendency to build on itself and when we give into that fear, we can start to spiral. Quickly.

This was what was happening to me for most of my adult life.

It was a sense of safety that was controlling my everyday actions.

It took me learning to trust myself to remain calm knowing that I could calm that fear and I could soften that voice in my head that was feeding into that fear.

It is my belief that we all have this need and/or desire for safety and yet, we’ve never been taught to feel secure within ourselves.

Shauna shares a story with us about her experience moving into the van and grappling with her own fears around feeling safe and secure within herself. She shares a story from childhood that allowed her to course correct at a young age, which meant she knew she could do it again now, as an adult. After almost giving up living in the van altogether, Shauna had to face her fears and learn to live with them - instead of allowing them to hinder her life.

Episode #8: Gratitude at meal time

There are so many reasons to be grateful.

Often times, we can forget to be in the moment enough to appreciate (and even understand) it.

The practice of gratitude CAN change your life. If you are willing to look for it and see the ways that you can be grateful for what you already have.

Corey shares a story with us about his experience where he was receiving a meal from a friend and the love that made him feel. He was able to see in what ways communicating this could help him in other areas of life, too.
