52 min - Drawing From The Difficulty & Enjoying Life Intentionally With Joel Green
Back when you were, you probably remembered a life full of joy with no worries about the state of the economy. Why do people stop enjoying life when they get older?

They need to change their mentality on how they view life. And, that starts today. Join Whitney Lauritsen as she talks to former NBA superstar turned motivational speaker, Joel Green about what it takes to enjoy life.

We all have our own struggles and different ways of dealing with them. Some of us choose to expose our vulnerability by connecting with others and drawing strength from our relationships. Others face the challenges head-on and without reservations, while the rest of us deal with them on our own. Either way, we will have different experiences with people and may not share the same opinion about them. At some point, we choose not to express our views and show who we are for fear of being judged and labeled as problematic. In this episode, Coach Lee Hopkins shares insights on how problematic is being perceived and how self-discovery, staying authentic to ourselves and respecting our differences can help us resolve our conflicting impressions or ideas so we can agree to disagree. He also talks about board game meetups, developing vulnerability and intimacy with yourself and others, and why we need to defeat shame, build self-esteem, and set boundaries. After all, everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
