  • 012.Brave Enough to Address Your Mental Health
    Life is rough. And after the last few years, it would make sense to feel a little down. But you are awesome, no matter how you feel at this moment. Even if you realize some errors in your own thinking, you still deserve to reach out for help. 
    ----more----
    Mental health has come a long way. The past two years of dumpster fire have helped with that. But many of us still feel like we shouldn’t have struggled with it. It is something that other people struggle with. 
    ----more----
    It’s ok to need help. And it’s ok to need to shift your outdated opinions. Health is a journey. And if you find you are a little lost on this journey, know you are worth the effort to reach out and get help.

  • 011. Brave Enough to Ask Questions
    Have you ever thought about asking questions as a skill? We often don’t find out answers because we simply do not ask. We live at a time when we can have the answers to most questions. But only if we ask. ----more----
    How do we learn to ask questions? How do we develop that particular skill? It is not as hard to reach as we may think. 
    ----more----
    Start with asking yourself questions. Small questions, big questions, uncomfortable questions. Once we get comfortable with the process of asking questions, then we can develop the skill further. 
    ----more----
    Asking questions is a skill that will improve your relationships, starting with your relationship with yourself. Let’s make 2022 the year we learn to ask questions.

    A chat with an author. What do you want to do? What is holding you back? In this week’s episode, we get to talk with a brave author who took some time building her brave. And then found a way to be her own boss and motivation. 
    ----more----
    Lily Rosetta is a historical romance author who is determined to evolve however she pleases as an author. It took some time for her to work through the fear and try her hand at writing. And there were doubts and setbacks. But as she says, “You can’t be great unless you try, and it’s scary to try.”

    Come join us as we see firsthand what consistent brave can do for you. See what you can do when you just try.

  • 009. Brave Enough to Ask
    What is the heaviest thing to carry around? There are many things that are heavy but I would say that regret is one of the heaviest, hardest things to carry around. 
    ----more----
    Here is a gentle push to hopefully help you not have to carry around regret. I know it is hard to put aside pride, fear, stubbornness, and so many other feelings so we can ask for what we need. This episode is a lovely and quite raw push to help you find the courage to just ask.

    Fair warning it contains a story about my last Christmas with my father and what I wish I would have done differently.

  • 008. Brave Enough to Look for the Magic
    The holidays can be hard. And sometimes there is no big reason. Sometimes it is a bunch of little things that seem determined to keep us from our happy. 
    ----more----
    But there is magic all around us in the world. And we can find it if we are brave enough to look. Here are a few lessons from Pawnee’s rough Christmas season. And a gentle loving reminder that it's ok if it is hard. This season is different because you are different. But it can still be magic.

  • 007. Brave Enough to Not Be Jesus
    Life is full of struggle. And as humans, we want to be able to help others through their troubles. It’s noble and good. But if we are not careful we take on too much from those around us and it can start to destroy us. 
    ----more----
    Through recent experiences, the lesson of not trying to take on too much has set in. We all have to learn that while we can do amazing things for others, we are not superhuman. We have been given what we can handle, and that is all we have to handle. 
    ----more----
    Look at helping people from a little different perspective. And receive permission to just be you and stop feeling like you have to save everyone.

  • 006.Brave Enough to Introduce the Real You
    It is time to have a semi-formal introduction. Who is Pawnee and what makes her tick? This is not an all-encompassing answer rather a nutshell introduction. 
    ----more----
    How would you like to introduce yourself? Who would you be if you could choose what people know about you? What matters most is who you are and not what you do. What would you share if you could only tell people a handful of things about yourself? 
    ----more----
    Let’s start introducing ourselves in a way that feels true to who we are. And let other people introduce themselves as who they really are. This is Pawnee in a nutshell. For more on the journey, or to ask any burning question, follow on IG @findingpawnee.

  • 005.Brave Enough to Snake Your Own Toilet
    We all have days when things go wrong. Where in those moments when we need things to work just as they should, something hits the fan. Or refuses to go down. Sometimes those things are huge, but often it is a small/simple thing that makes us feel the most defeated. 
    ----more----
    On the other hand, when we step up and conquer those simple things we feel super powerful. Being able to handle our own problems, no matter how small, builds confidence. You are amazing. And brave enough to conquer the little things, even if it is to prove to yourself that you can

  • 004.Brave Enough to Find Yourself
    Sometimes things happen in our lives and we feel like we get lost. But we find little things that help us as we are fumbling through that experience. And those gems become important parts of our story. 
    ----more----
    We can find what we truly want when we let go of the expectations that we have held onto so desperately. You are worth the time and effort to find out who you really are and what you really want.

  • 003.Brave Enough to Own Your Self Sabotage
    Today was a fail. Sound familiar? Are you in your own way? It happens to the best of us. We hit a wall and we just don’t show up. Our resistance wins. And we feel down and out. 
    ----more----
    What do you do when you are the problem? Here we talk about what to do to own and move past those moments, or days of self-sabotage. Just because we have a bad day doesn’t mean we have to have a bad week. Live and let go.
