In this episode from the Courage Habit series, Kate + Andy look at habitual reactions and how to shift those reactions in order to develop more courage. We’re getting into the nitty-gritty of what it means to create long term change through the brain’s capacity for neural plasticity. Looking at your current reactions is a helpful jumping off point for seeing what else is possible.

  • Ep 104: The Courage Habit: Habit-formation

    It’s time to start listening to what your fear has to say--wait, what? This might surprise you, but there’s a very real reason why you need to listen to what your fear is saying: it has a message. The critical piece, however, is that you listen without attachment. In other words? Don’t believe that what your fear says, is automatically true. We’re going through some real examples of this in the 4th part of the Courage Habit series, part of a special 9-part series that is newly added to the Your Courageous Life podcast.

  • Ep103: The Courage Habit: The Inner Critic

    The inner critic is your best friend--with a lousy skill-set! That’s what we’re digging into in the 3rd part of the 9-part Courage Habit series (part of the Your Courageous Life podcast!). If you’ve felt like your internal critic has had a hold on you for far too long, listen in to hear how you can shift your relationship with your critic (and your fear). These skills are applicable to anywhere where you struggle with criticism.

    In the second part of the 9-part Courage Habit series, we’re talking about how you can integrate meditation and mindfulness practices into your life (even when you’re feeling resistant) and how to directly dialogue with the internal critic so that you don’t get hung up on internal criticisms.

  • Ep101: The Courage Habit - opportunities for courage

    The Your Courageous Life podcast is debuting a special series that tackles lessons from my book, The Courage Habit. I’m partnering with my friend Andy Sewell, and we’re going through different lessons from The Courage Habit to talk about how you’d apply them in your life--when you’re getting overwhelmed and stressed and afraid, how do you literally stop, pause, not get pulled into that overwhelm and fear?

     

    In the first of this 9-part Courage Habit series, we’re talking about how stress can trigger fear-based habits, and how to recognize that process so that you can interrupt the fear-based habits and create courage-based habits, instead.

  • Ep98: Create Better Relationships

    Got an annoying coworker? A rude teenager? A partner with whom you’re always arguing? A friend who you’ve become distant from? Most of us *say* that we want to create better relationships, but we don’t always know how to do that in practice--especially if we have conflict with someone else. It’s normal for human relationships to encounter conflict, and how we navigate that conflict will say everything about what happens for two people, next. Let’s talk about the behaviors that do (and don’t) work to create better relationships.

  • Ep97: Recognizing True Narcissism And Gaslighting

    You’ve probably heard of the terms “narcissism” and “gaslighting.” So what are they? How do you know if you’re encountering those dynamics in your relationships?

    Narcissism and gaslighting are terms that are being thrown around more and more in popular culture--and they’re not always being accurately applied, which means that sometimes conflict is increased rather than diffused. 


    In this podcast episode, I break down these two terms and how we can be aware of narcissism and gaslighting behaviors in our relationships, and apply these terms accurately to resolve, rather than inflame, conflict in relationships. Let's aim to defuse conflicts, apply these terms responsibly, and seek professional help when dealing with potentially abusive dynamics. Your well-being matters!

  • Ep96: How to handle chronically problematic relationships where people are committed to being offended

    Are you tired of constantly feeling like you're walking on eggshells in your relationships? Today I’m helping you explore chronically problematic relationships and what it means when someone you interact with is "committed to being offended." 


    If you’re interacting with people who take everything personally, assume their feelings are always the truth, avoid asking questions or considering alternative explanations and make assumptions about you that don’t change, no matter the evidence–there's hope! 


    I’m sharing six steps to navigate these challenging relationships, emphasizing boundaries, empathy, and open communication as keys to breaking free from the cycle. Don't let others' commitment to being offended hold you back; take control of your interactions and find more peace.
