On this episode of The Lightcast Podcast, I talk about how controlling your external world, even when done unconsciously with no malice, can be a tactic to control the discomfort in your inner world. I discuss how control is a protective mechanism that gives you the illusion of safety by avoiding the vulnerability that comes with surrendering into your emotional world. From trying to solve your partner’s problems to avoiding difficult conversations, I share a myriad of examples to shine a light on how common it is to unconsciously control in relationships as a way to control the discomfort with your own emotions.

On this episode of The Lightcast Podcast, I talk about feeling called to change courses in life. I discuss how sometimes we make an identity out of old versions of ourselves, relationships, jobs, and what happens when it no longer feels true to you. Whether we call this change, revelations, midlife crisis, quarter-life crisis, or soul searching, there is an aspect of ourselves wanting to course correct. I shine a light on how to navigate the uncertainty and doubt of forging a new, unknown path.

On this episode of The Lightcast Podcast, I talk about how bravery often feels like fear. I discuss how fear wants to keep us safe in our comfort zone and how challenging it can feel to leap into the unknown. But what happens when everything you want to experience is on the other side of that fear? I shine a light on how we can uncover the wealth of our potential and capabilities when we brave out of our comfort zone into our growth zone.

I shine a light on how depression is often a signal to get our attention and call us back home to ourselves.
