“I used to worry about the labels others placed on me … until I realized my limitations weren’t coming from their labels, but from my own.” –Steve Maraboli
This week we jump right into a discussion on labels and how they help and how they hurt us. The tendency to label ourselves and others can blur the lines between truth and fiction. It can create tension between who we think we are supposed to be and who we actually are. This can often mean that we can grow as people and not even realize it.
While we might need labels to distinguish things, to create some form of order, labels can often do more harm than good.
We do it to others, and we do it to ourselves. Whether positive or negative, what we whisper to ourselves every day has a great influence on our self-concept, and dictates the direction of our thoughts and actions. We are what we think we are.
We talk about the good, the bad and the ugly of levels but we also talk about how labels can be used to serve us. Join us this week and let us know what labels you’re willing to let go and what labels you are ready to EMBRACE!

C.S. Lewis once said: "In great literature, I become a thousand different men but still remain myself." Storytelling is a passageway to another world where we can become more than we understood before we stepped forward. Once we understand, we cannot then un-understand. The beauty of stories is their capacity to expand our world and our lives. We may remain ourselves, but not ourselves untouched.
Join us on the podcast today as we dive deep into one of our greatest joys and passions, stories and how they have the power to impact us all. We continue the season-long conversation on identity, from formation to transformation to maintenance. We are covering as many bases as we can find along the way. Today is no exception, though it is one of my personal favorites. We talk about the power of story to transform, expose, uplift, deconstruct, and expand the lives of individuals and cultures over time.
Tune in to the We Go Boldly podcast anywhere you find your favorite podcasts. Do us a huge favor while you're at it and save, share and like this post. Don’t forget to do the homework at the end and let us know how it goes! We are all on this brave and bold journey together!

This time of year is filled with joy and often fraught with stress. We have spent all year digging deep and listening to our inner voice and focusing on ensuring we find and hold onto our identities in the face of challenges. Now is not the time to lose ourselves.
Holidays allow for the opportunity to build our family identity through family traditions. Cultivating family identity can be an anchor for you. Family identity can be reinforced by actually naming the traditions you do. They have a magical way of instilling family identity.
In this week’s episode, Rielly and Tovah jump feet first into the holiday season with equal amounts of excitement and apprehension. Growing up neither one would describe their holidays as a “Walton Family Christmas” but it allows them to decide what traditions they create for their families.
They talk about their own traditions, setting boundaries, holding onto our identities, and yes, finding joy this holiday season.
Join us as you are preparing for this December.

Have you ever wondered why some people help you find yourself and with some people you lose yourself?
Relationships can impact our identity by changing the size of our sense of self. It can expand, to include new traits or to make existing traits more prominent but it can also cause certain aspects of the self to be lost.
Rielly and Tovah get a little extra personal when they talk about how their relationships have expanded their lives and taught them when they needed to reconnect with their own identity.
Friendships, relationships and setting boundaries is the name of the game. Learning to continue to find yourself through new adventures and new people rather than lose yourself.
We continue our focus of the season on how we can work to maintain our identity while still blossoming in relationships. Come for the heart to heart stories and stay for the tips. Join us as we try to live our limitless lives.

Did you know that Smith is still the most popular name? Over time a person's job was their defining feature, literal identity. While we aren’t named after our job these days we are often too tied to them and too enmeshed in them. Many of us have come to actually define ourselves by our occupations – which often comes at our own expense.
On today’s episode Tovah and Rielly get personal when they talk about jobs and identity. They have both struggled with separating their identity from their jobs.
Why is it not okay to be completely connected with your job? It makes it harder to connect with people who aren’t a part of your working life. If you define yourself by your work, any failure can cause a crisis of identity.
Listen this week to learn ways to diversify your life and ensure your job is something you do and not something you are.

When Tovah and Rielly thought about starting a podcast they knew they would talk about parenting a lot. They didn’t realize it would take 43 episodes until they would finally have an episode entirely devoted to parenthood.
It only makes sense that parenthood comes up during a season about identity. There are so many different layers to consider with respect to how our identity will be impacted over time and all the different stages of parenthood. It is so easy to lose ourselves in parenthood.
As many parents, or anyone who has been around small children, would agree, parenthood in the beginning is all consuming physically, emotionally, and in literally every single way. Each level of parenthood is a massive transition - we don’t always realize that it is happening or what it is doing to us as individuals. It is so easy to forget about ourselves along the way.
We share our own experiences and then we talk about what we do to make sure we don’t lose ourselves forever. Join us for one of the longest, but most favorite, discussions.

“The world is waiting for you to pursue your purpose.”
“Find your purpose” looks great on a poster or on a decorative wooden plaque but what does it really mean? And more importantly can it mean anything if you don’t know who you are? Rielly and Tovah discuss the importance of learning who you are first before figuring out what you should be doing with your life. Lacking a clearly defined sense of self, or identity, often makes it tough to know exactly what you want.
They continue their deep dive into their conversation about identity. How well do you know yourself? Do you say yes to make others happy? What are your values? Do you live your life accordingly? Awareness of personal values can go a long way toward outlining your sense of self.
As always, they end with action items. Let’s figure out how to build that sense of self!

“The only thing that is constant is change.”― Heraclitus
There is nothing inherently wrong with transitions, in fact transitions are exciting and can lead to wonderful growth but...every transition can cause unexpected stress. This week Tovah and Rielly, who both handle change very differently, discuss how we maintain our identities while living through life’s major transitions.
Change can impact how we view the world and ourselves. How do we handle change so we can embrace change and celebrate it?
We dive deep into answering that question. Finding calm in our lives and ensuring we are compassionate with ourselves, even when it's hard is so important. Making sure we have calm in our lives before the storm is how we can prepare.
