I had the privilege to interview Krista Luzio on this week's podcast.

Krista Luzio lives in Chicago and has been practicing law as a medical malpractice defense lawyer for the past 13 years. She is a mother of two younger children, is a writer, artist, and musician. Krista found me via this podcast and contacted me soon after she learned about her husband's infidelity.

Learn more about Krista's story, how she has learned to navigate the challenging and surprising situations that have shown up in her life, and how she has changed and grown after becoming Emotionally Equipped.

Even if Krista's situation and stories are not exactly what yours look like, I do believe you will be able to find yourself in her stories and I believe she will inspire you, just like she has and continues to inspire me.

A few days ago I visited two young men who were brutally attacked during a senseless and heinous hate crime.

There were family, friends, and community members at this gathering to show support for these young men.

At one point, there was a request for everyone present to introduce themselves, share where they were from and anything else they would like to add.

This is where I started to get stuck.

Tune in to hear how I got myself unstuck and the positive result that followed after.

This week, I continue on with the story I began last week.

Now only will you hear how I got CLEAR so I was able to move forward, you will hear a sincere apology to my husband.

Getting unSTUCK and Getting CLEAR is never about putting someone else down in order to make you look good. But in last week's episode, I am afraid I missed my intention and so I publicly share that process with you as well.

This week I'd like to share with you a story about my garden.

Or, shall I say, a garden project that I wanted to create.

But, the truth of the matter is, the story has little to do with the garden and has almost everything to do with my relationship with my husband.

The situation didn't go as I would have liked it and in this week's episode I share with you how I got unstuck.

Setting boundaries is an essential tool for living the life you want to live.

Setting boundaries is something you do for yourself as a way of protecting yourself.

Boundaries are not about controlling another person and they are not meant to be created as a way to manipulate other people.

They are about setting clear limits so others know where you stand on things.

For whatever reason, it is often easier to commit to other people than it is to commit to ourselves.

We get stuck in lots of thoughts and emotions (it's not important, missing it for one day is no big deal, no one will notice, etc.) which not only leads us to inaction, it leads us to not fully respecting ourselves.

Tune in to this week's episode to learn more about how you can create more self-respect in your life.

After the recent war, the Muslim woman from the village down the road from the community where I live requested a gathering.

Women only.

To meet one another.

To emote.

To share from our hearts.

To find commonalities.

And to simply start a dialogue of peace.

Those of us present believed there is no other way.

At that meeting I got stuck on shame and embarrassment, but got unSTUCK when I made an important decision.

Tune into to hear more.
