We Go Boldly Podcast

“When you rest, you catch your breath and it holds you up, like water wings…” — Anne Lamott

“Renewal is what happens when you realize that some of this stuff you’ve been carrying around doesn’t matter.” — Rob Bell

It’s AUGUST baby!  That’s right dear listeners we are manifesting our way to a workfree August.  While we aren’t quite there yet (I’m looking at you lack of beach house), we are choosing to set the tone for the life we want to lead and we’re taking a break this month.  We have a lot of creative plans for the fall and are excited to get to them, but we are saying so long to boring, uninspiring admin work.  

Recovery, Rest, Renewal.  We’ve talked your ear off on how important it is.  This month we are practicing what we preach. 

Here’s your homework, and ours as well.  We have a month before Labor Day and still a big chunk of time before the official end of summer.  What feeling do you want to have when the summer is over, what vibe do you want to have?  What’s your plan to get there?

Join us this week as we wrap up our mini season on embracing and accepting differences in our lives. We take this week to talk about neurodiversity and why it is so important to not only accept but value the differences in our lives.

Neurodiversity is something we can all embrace in our lives. Whether you experience neurodiversity in your life, your family, or community you can find ways to be more understanding, open, and accepting of differences.

We talk through definitions, and a greater understanding that differences are not deficits. They are the beautiful variations in the world that make life interesting and exciting. Tune in wherever you listen to podcasts today. Don't forget to subscribe, rate and review.

We take a brief break between our seasons for a mini season focused on our kids, our families, mental health, and neurodiversity.  We will take these two episodes to discuss how we can support those we love who deal with challenges and how to support our families. 

Research shows that parental well-being is strongly affected by their children’s mental health challenges. A child's mental health challenges has quantifiable costs (time and money) but also emotional burdens on parents and the entire family. Improving our children's mental health improves the wellbeing of the entire family.

Join us in this important conversation, because we can and will make this world a more caring and empathetic place.

On We Go Boldly this week we are diving into our political and advocacy sides. We know that living in the world today demands attention to more than our own lives. We talk about our journeys as advocates, moms, and political humans. When you work and/or volunteer in advocacy or politics there is so much potential for burnout, overwhelm, even despair. It can be exhausting to work towards social change, justice, and any change really. Listen in as we talk about how to avoid and then get out of real burnout, overwhelm and exhaustion. 

Soon we will be re-launching our sister company, Moms Running, where we coach, support, and create space for moms in advocacy and politics. We can't be our whole selves without talking about our core values, and how they impact our relationships, purpose, work, and all life in general. 

Join us and let us know how we can support you in your own political and advocacy journey. 

GO BOLDLY HOMEWORK

1. Are you a woman in politics or advocacy? Great! Join us over at Moms Running Network on FB and let us know what you are doing. 
2. Join our weekly women's circle!

This season on We Go Boldly we will walk through what holds us back from living our best lives and doing all the things we dream about doing. We are focusing on how we can overcome our fear and doubt, be bolstered by faith, take risks, meet opportunity, and imagine unlimited possibilities. Every week we will work through a different aspect of what it means to both pursue our passions and accomplish the mundane; and how these topics help us to reach for our potential and live our boldest, most honest lives. 

Our goal this season is to explore what is holding us back, keeping us locked away behind our imagined limitations, and stopping our growth. We coach women to live their version of a bold life and pursue their unique path. This season is all about taking action and living our best lives. 

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

We Go Boldly into a variety of methods, tools, and theories on how you can let go of those things that get in your way of your dreams. Everything from starting with incremental changes in your life to setting boundaries to finding a coach is up for discussion this week.

It happens that sometimes we talk before we record and it influences everything about our episode. This is one of those times. Today we are talking about how sometimes when it all feels like too much, and you feel like you don't belong, it's because that is how the system is designed. It's not in your head. In this episode of We Go Boldly, we tackle all kinds of things like patriarchy, misogyny, and imposter syndrome. Tune in wherever you listen to your podcasts today.

Join us!

Don’t forget to smash that subscribe button (like patriarchy), rate and review us!

GO BOLDLY HOMEWORK

1. Take an inventory of your life and what is happening around you- work, home, friendship and social circles.  Notice how you are engaging in misogyny? What are you doing that upholds patriarchal beliefs?
2. Once you are aware, start to shake things up. 
3. Join our women’s circle! We’d love to see you there.
