Yes You Are Brave

The holidays are the most magical time of year. At least they can be. Or they can be the biggest nightmare of the year. It's usually a gamble on which. Depending greatly on how our family gatherings go. ----more----

Yes, we love family. We just don't always like them. Right!? Allow me to give a few tips to have a better holiday with your family. I guarantee no perfect anything, just some practical tips to have a better time. Shooting for perfect is a great way to fall on your face and be bitterly disappointed. ----more----

Join me as we talk about having a holiday plan. Not just the logistics. Though they do matter, especially your food and packing. But also preparing for the things we are pretty sure will happen. Even if we wish they wouldn't. ----more----

It's the little unsexy things that will make the biggest difference. Planning for time and space away, preparing outlets and responses, and setting firm boundaries. And having a plan for all the possibilities. And remember that if it causes only stress, it is ok to pass on the big family shindig this year.----more----As always come follow more of the journey to brave on socials. @findingpawnee on Instagram and @Finding Pawnee 

It is episode 100!! Can you believe it? Not sure that I can. Today we are talking about some brave lessons learned from two years and a hundred episodes of the Yes You Are Brave Podcast. ----more----

We are all brave, but that courage can ebb and flow. Sometimes there is no dragon to big or scary to fight. And other times it is all we can do to get out of the house. Have some grace and patience with yourself. Because each time you change, the brave that is needed for your life changes as well. And it is uncomfortable. ----more----

Sometimes you get stuck. You need to reach out for help. Sometimes you just need to go to bed and try again tomorrow. Come with me to explore the biggest lessons of the first hundred. And remember that Yes You Are Brave. ----more----

Welcome to the Day of the Dead! Where we remember family and what they mean to us. ----more----

Today we explore the legacy that we are left and what we choose to accept as our legacy. We get to choose what and how we remember. 

Take a break but don't quit. It has been a minute. Life got hard and I needed to step back for a few days. But I am back to show you that you are worth the effort. To be your cheerleader and help you keep moving forward, even if it is millimeters at a time. ----more----

When life gets hard, take care of yourself. But don't give up on your dreams because it is hard. Don't stop dreaming just because your heart gets broken. Instead, take a moment then start again. And again. And again. You can do this. ----more----

How happy are you willing to be? How committed to being miserable are you? 

Most people will claim they want to be happy. But most people aren't willing to make simple changes to actually be happy. The truth is that happiness is not nearly as complicated as we often make it out to be. ----more----

To be fair, happiness is a bit of an abstract concept. And it can be hard to find real-world, concrete things to do to find it. This week we explore a few simple, practical ways to be happy. Join me to find out. ----more----

There are not too many things in life that we can predict. But one thing that we know is coming, a change of season. Summer fades to fall and fall ends in winter. Every year. And it can be easy to focus on what you are losing instead of what you are gaining. ----more----

This week we take a practical look at preparing for the changing season so we can enjoy it more. Come join me as fall arrives. And as always follow the journey to be brave @findingpawnee on Instagram and Finding Pawnee on Facebook 

Ever find yourself hating that co-worker who is just so damn happy all the time? Like nobody is that positive all the time. I hear you. I used to be so annoyed with happy people. Mostly because I was jealous. I wanted to be happy and positive, but that cloud seemed to follow me around. ----more----

Now I realize that positive isn't just something that happens. Well maybe for a select few, but only a few. For the rest of us, it is work. Lots of work done intentionally to develop a positive attitude. But you can be more positive if it is what you want. And I am here to help you figure out how. ----more----

Listen in this week for practical tips on making the switch from Negative Nancy to maybe not Polyanna, but a realistic middle. You can do this. ----more----
