Naturally, there are some personal stories of the way fear has affected us and what we have done to work through it.

Did you know you make thousands of decisions every day? We often put ourselves in positions where we have said yes too many times to those decisions. While it can be difficult to say no, it is a critical piece of living in a balanced way. In this episode, we talk about why we do this and look at some of the strategies for having the right balance of yes and no in our lives.

Quotes about the importance of failing are all over the place, but is failure really good for us? If it is, how do we fail well? It turns out that there are specific components of failure that we have to know in order to grow from it. If you aren’t sure what those are; give a listen. We talk about failure with some research, humor and our own failure stories. Who doesn’t love a good failure story or two?

In this episode we survey the landscape of the counseling/helping field through the lens of our own internal process. We talk about what we hope to do with this podcast and a few of the ways we want to do it. We list topics we will cover in upcoming episodes. We do our normal thing of serious moments interspersed with jokes that at least, we think are funny.

In this episode, we don’t talk baths and walks on the beach (as much as those are great). Instead we take a little different approach in how to do self care if you are a therapist, coach or helping professional. Even if you aren’t, you will still find that the ideas apply to you as well. In our typical style, we share from our own self care failure stories and what we have learned.

As therapists/coaches/helpers we listen, serve and attend to others but what happens if we don’t pay enough attention to our internal world. What is burnout? You might be surprised that there are different levels to the burnout process. For many reasons this subject isn’t talked about  enough in inner circles so we want to prove we’re not scared. Actually, we just thought it would be a good topic.
