Myron, our resident certified Gallup Strengths Coach, leads us in a conversation on our strengths and how they help us during the pandemic.

The answer can be simple but, your hosts know, it’s not easy.  Take time today to explore what’s lighting you up!

It’s day 525,600 of the pandemic and the middle couldn’t be messier.  Today your hosts tap into their longing for simple things from days past - things like having that daily space as we commuted from work to home and the presence of other humans.  Oh, and lemon pound cake from Starbucks in Chicago.  Whatever you’re missing, Myron, Tara, and Miranda are right there with you.  

In today’s episode, your hosts challenge each other to live in the now!  What do Myron, Tara, and Miranda do to slow down time and get present to themselves?  Why is it so important for them to do this?  Take this opportunity to turn off your news feeds and notifications and give yourself the gift of presence. 

In this final episode of 2020, your hosts explore the power of reflection and journaling in their lives.  They each have very different styles and agree that however you do this, consistency is key!  Join them as they share their personal answers to two of their favourite reflection questions.  And, yes, you can look forward to some epic “Myron laughs” peppered throughout.

It’s all too much and we’re experiencing overwhelm.  What do we do with those feelings in a world that expects us to just “handle it”?  How do we take care of ourselves in a world that celebrates those who can “push through”?  This week, Myron, Tara, and Miranda share the practices and habits that help them when they’re feeling overwhelmed.

What does it mean to “meet people where they are at”?  What does it take to do this well?  Why should we even bother?  Your hosts explore these questions and more on this week’s episode of The Messy Middle.
