Empowered Former LDS: The Podcast

A discussion on how to remain empowered even when we are wrong (because, let's face it -- we're almost always wrong about something!)

Cyndi is a former Jehovah's Witness and today you are going to hear her talk about the painful cost she paid in leaving that religion, and the many wonderful things she has created – and is continuing to create – as a result of that pain. This is one of those interviews that reminds me why I do this whole podcsasting thing – because I have learned so much from so many people over the years – and there is always so much more to learn.   Like this whole thing that Cindy brings up about Heart Math – bringing balance between heart and mind - a tool that can help people better deal with conflict in life. That sounds like a pretty good tool, doesn't it? Did you know that questions themselves can be tools that work in similar ways?  Even having the freedom to ask questions – to explore the answers – and to keep on questioning and keep on exploring.   For example, some of the questions we ask and explore in this episode are: What are neurons?  What do they do in my brain?  What do they do in my heart? How do any of these neurons impact my daily life? How can I become more aware?  Once I am more aware, can I influence my neurons – could I learn to flex my neurons the way I flex my muscles?  What is Self-love, unconditional love – is love really actually  a real thing that actually exists?What happens when someone becomes a slave to their fears?What happens when someone learns to trust instead of only fear?   Is there a difference between shunning vs. showing tough loveWhat does it mean to live life on autopilot vs. taking control?  (Do you feel any heart-healing yet from any of these questions?) 

Is there really power in asking Questions? Do we all see the world through a unique lens? If we are looking at the world through a lens, is it really the world that we see, or the characteristics of that particular lens? Can stories, beliefs, and expectations be considered lenses?
