  • 22. Vulnerability: I was open and got hurt.

    What does vulnerability mean, and are you willing to be vulnerable to strengthen your connections? Vulnerability means that you are willing to be yourself by disclosing difficult things about you knowing that there is a possibility you could be hurt. Are you willing to be open and hurt or does being open come with fear and shame for you? 

    Research says people who are vulnerable live happier because they have deeper connections. Is it truth or worth it?

  • 21. I love you, but it’s complicated
    Having great friendships, where we can truly be vulnerable and open is a blessing. We share great laugher and ideas. Although it is great to have wonderful friendships, sometimes boundaries get overlooked and lines gets blurred. We take this healthy friendship and want to deepen the relationship to being romantic. Growing up I didn’t see many healthy relationships, rather being platonic or romantic, so having them in my life means learning how to make lasting bonds. However, how do we navigate a friendship when someone develops romantic emotions ultimately complicating the relationship?

  • 20. Random rant about relationships
    I had to understand how I had healthy relationships in my past but could not see them because I could not recognize my struggles. I allowed my efforts to get in the way of how I showed up in relationships. My need for control hindered how I interacted with friends, which created complicated relationships from my side. I received an email from a fantastic friend explaining our relationship; however, I could not explain my side due to an unfortunate loss. This situation allowed me to think how important it is to be vulnerable with people that want to be supportive and open. It saddens me that I waited until it was too late to let go of old emotions. You must deal with old emotions to fix relationships before you miss the opportunity.

  • 16. Relationships that impact your success
    In this episode we discuss how relationships impact how we think about ourselves and overall our goals in life. Many of us want better for ourselves yet something, someone prevents us from accomplishing it. We listen to the discouraging words, hangout with friends too much, or spend too much time thinking about what other people are doing. We hinder our success by staying involved in relationships that do not help us get closer to success. Let us look at our actions and interactions with our friends and family to see if it helps or hinder us to attain the success we desire.

  • 15. Reviewing my year of accomplishments and setbacks.
    We set goals for the year but when we accomplish them we don’t celebrate, however on the opposite end we are hard on ourselves when we don’t reach them. We must review our goals and how close we have come to achieving them so that we can reevaluate the plan. This is a causal conversation about me reviewing my goals from 2021.

  • 14. New Year, New Goals, New Me!
    The new year is approaching soon. Are you ready to be renewed, or will you work from an old version yourself? 
    S.M.A.R.T goals are a way to help us be develop realistic goals that have dates and ways to measure how close you are to reaching them. Personally, I make goals for different areas of my life; financial, health, mental, business, personal development, family, etc. 
    You must understand what areas of your life you wish to improve and write down your goals to help you focus for the new year. Once you accomplish your goals the process starts all over.
