We Go Boldly Podcast

This season on We Go Boldly we are asking the question, how is your heart? We are diving into the depths of human experience, exploring the elusive concepts of heart, soul, spirit, and well-being. Each week we will embark on discussions that explore the intricate tapestry of our humanity in pursuit of embracing our whole selves and moving towards a more vibrant, fulfilling life. 

We coach women to live their version of a bold life and that is what this season is all about, embracing our power, building a bold society of limitless women ready to take on what comes…the good, bad and neutral. 

Today we are so excited to welcome back a repeat guest!

Today we continue the pathway into understanding our hearts. Family of all kinds is an integral component of deepening our experiences, understanding, and knowledge of our own hearts. When we take the time to look deep into our closest relationships we can unravel what is most important within us.

We examine the struggle and joy of parenting, caring for aging parents, and remembering to care for ourselves. As people live longer, the experience of being on both ends of the caregiving spectrum can disrupt our own hearts and spirits. While it is exhausting it is also tremendously rewarding. 

Tune in to today's episode and let us know your biggest caregiving struggle, and how does it impact your heart?

This week on We Go Boldly we examine the intricacies of family in all its iterations and permutations and how they play a role in our journies. We dig into what family means and how it relates to our season long discussion. 

Family is not only the people you are born to, or who raises you, or a spouse and children. Chosen or found family can also have a profound impact on our well being. Understanding your familial and chosen family relationships will help us protect and uplift our hearts. 

We talk all about seeking joy in the life you choose, the people you surround yourself with and the family you are willing to have. Part of healthy families must include setting boundaries. Sometimes that requires letting go of the people that are not good for you in your life. Other times it requires you to put in some work to create healthy relationships. We are allowed to seek out and build a family that feels safe, and loving. It is important to acknowledge the role that found family plays in communities of color, and the LGBTQ+ community. 

A big part of creating a healthy family, is to understand the difference between a toxic person and a difficult person. Toxic or unsafe people can be dangerous to us and it is essential to know when and how to get away. Difficult people in our lives may be related to us, or within our chosen family groups. We can learn how to manage those relationships and even improve them over time.

3. Think about your family and your chosen family and how you can set boundaries  to enjoy your family more throughout the holiday season.

This season on We Go Boldly we are asking the question, how is your heart? And because we know we can learn so much from others it is interview day! (our favorite day!)

We help women to live their version of a bold life and that is what this season is all about, embracing our power, building a bold society of limitless women ready to take on what comes…the good, bad and neutral. 

Today we are broadening our own horizons and talking to an incredible guest and new friend to the show!

Wendy Meadows is a force who is not afraid to shake things up and get things done. She is the best-selling author of sparkle & GRIT, a certified life coach (mostly to law moms!), and a family law mediator.

Wendy practiced family law exclusively for 15 years.  In that time, she became a partner in 5 years, a managing partner in 10, and then “went solo” at 13.  However, she knew there was something more for her.  In true Wendy fashion, she applied some sparkle & GRIT to her own life and made a leap of faith to become a certified life coach so that she could help her professional comrades beat the burnout, feel heard, and find success in a way that feels good to them.  Women who life coach with Wendy say that she “transforms their habits and outlook on life.”

Today, you will see Wendy coaching clients 1:1, coaching small firms; running her group sparkle & GRIT; speaking at events; and mediating family law disputes.

We are so excited to have Wendy join us today!
 

You can find Wendy on Instagram at Wendy Meadows, Lawyer Mom Life Coach (@wendy_s_meadows)  or at Life Coach Wendy S. Meadows (wendysmeadows.com).

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood…”

                                                                                  — Theodore Roosevelt

Do we have the courage to be vulnerable?  When are we at our strongest? It is when we are willing to be the most emotionally vulnerable. Choosing to be vulnerable means facing: sadness, shame, helplessness, anger, embarrassment, disappointment, or frustration. That is what it takes. 

This week we talk about how being vulnerable will open up your heart and your world. Of course we talk about the queen of vulnerability, Brene Brown. 

Vulnerability is a scary word and a scary idea, but it SO important.  How will you be vulnerable this week?

GO BOLDLY HOMEWORK

1. How will you be vulnerable this week?  Will you join our circle? Will you try something soon?  That’s your homework! Doing something vulnerable, whether it's karaoke, or sky diving (eek) or something else.

We Go Boldly into bodies and the weight of the world's expectations. How is your heart leads us into a deeper discussion about what it means to be kind and compassionate towards ourselves and others. We talk about our own struggles with our bodies, with what the world puts on us, and what we put on us. Kindness, self-love, self-compassion and practice are keys to dealing with our complex feelings relating to our bodies. 

We also get into the difficult side of diet culture, the way in which it invades our lives, and how it can create unhealthy behaviors and expectations. Culturally and socially we are conditioned to look a certain way, to find beauty in a standardized way, and that is hard to shake. Letting go of social norms around bodies is a challenge but a necessary step in supporting your heart. 

GO BOLDLY HOMEWORK

1. Make a list of five things that you LOVE about your body.
2. Make a list of five ways you can be kind to yourself.

How is your heart? 

Soul, spirit, physical, mental existential well being. Rather than asking how you are; asking how is your heart gets to the whole person. Why do we care about changing this perspective? Addressing our "whole humanity" is the basis for moving toward whole health and building a caring community. 

Why ask how is your heart?

We often get caught up in a single minded focus on what it means to be happy, healthy, well… Asking how is your heart is an attempt to capture the whole human experience - physical, mental, emotional.

This is going to be a big season where we touch on many issues related to how we are feeling and how we can life our most honest, authentic, and whole life. 

We can’t wait for you to join us!  Don’t forget to share with your friends and follow us and subscribe!

GO BOLDLY HOMEWORK

1. Ask yourself the question - how is your heart? 
2. Ask someone you love the same question. Take the time to actively listen.
3. Join our circle!
