The Slow Down Method

I just got back from the Vans Warped Tour this past weekend, and I am exhausted! However, don't worry, I am here to make an episode and tell you about my time at Warped Tour Orlando. So grab your favorite energy drink, open this pit up, and enjoy this episode!

Hello everyone! This week, we're talking about tough conversations and why we need to say what we mean and mean what we say. When we don't communicate effectively, we miss out on truly saying what needs to be understood. I bring up a story back in my ministry cult and talk about a time when someone didn't communicate with me correctly. It's a quick episode, but one that needs to be heard. I'm excited for you to listen!

This week is Halloween. Do you celebrate it? I know when I was younger, I used to dress up like Bible characters because I wasn't allowed to trick or treat. This week, I talk about some thoughts about Halloween, being a Christian kid during that holiday, and some deeper topics. Don't get scared, it's just my podcast!

We're back! Welcome to season 5 (I know, I'm surprised too). After a two-week break, I am back to grace you with my presence. I am excited for this season! Maybe it's because we're about to hit the holidays, or it just feels nice to be back, either way, this season is gonna be good!

Welcome to the season 5 Cold Open!

This week marks the end of season 4! Don't worry, I'll be back in two weeks with the start of season 5! However, this week, we are talking about the holidays. Do you enjoy the holidays, or are you like me, where you've struggled to enjoy them? We talk about the holidays, life, and how autumn is upon us. I can't wait for you to check out this episode!

This week, we shift gears to remind ourselves that growth is good, but we should also enjoy the progress we've made, too. As usual, I will tell silly stories or reveal how my brain works. Maybe you've been on a hustle and grind mentality, that's not bad, but don't forget to laugh a bit too.

Over this past weekend, there has been a lot of stuff that happened, and not in the most positive way. I know that many of us are aware of what happened, and now it is up to us on how we want to respond. It may not be an easy topic, but this week I challenge you to take some time to ponder and see where you stand with it all. You may not agree with everything I say (and you probably shouldn't), but that is where we gain perspective and challenge the way we think. Let's grow for a better us and a better community.

***Trigger Warning***

This month is National Suicide Awareness Month, and it's time to have a conversation about it. Join me this week as I open up in my personal life and share why this month is important.

You may be going through life not knowing where to go or when to take the next turn, but you got this. This episode isn't a sad one, but it is a real conversation that needs to be talked about. I hope you join me this week.

We are in September, finally! Crazy to think that we're here and not only that, we're only 3 months away from the end of the year! So, let's see where we stand right now. Are we doing better than we thought? Let's see where you stand in our 3rd quarter audit.

This week, we talk about work, coaching, and growth. How we respond can be the door we walk through or the wall we run into. Are we able to take accountability for our actions, or would we rather blame others for actions or lack of actions from ourselves? This might be a challenging episode, but I do believe it can be relatable for someone like you. Have you had challenges with feedback, or have you had someone who didn't take your feedback well? How did you respond, or how did they react?
