Challenges teach resilience, wisdom, and self-awareness, but rescuing someone can rob them of those essential lessons and foster dependency. Intervening often depletes our own energy, creates unhealthy boundaries, and disrupts the natural order of consequences meant to guide them. True support means encouraging others to navigate their challenges while trusting the process.

Send us a textI've been sitting on this message for a while, and today felt like the right day to share it. As we near the end of 2024, there's often an internal urge to do things differently, to let go of the old and embrace new beginnings. Many of us carry heaviness without even realizing it, and we sometimes burden others with our issues, expecting them to fix things for us. This message is for those who feel heavy or have heavy people around them.Life is inherently heavy at times, but it's unfair to bleed on others and expect them to be content with our residue. Some burdens are meant to be released, not shared. Healing begins with acknowledgment and self-reliance, not by waiting for someone else to carry our weight. It's crucial to understand that letting go doesn't signify weakness—it's our pathway to freedom.Finally, as we approach the new year, it's important to realize that the answers we seek lie within us. We need to sit with ourselves, find peace, and, if necessary, seek wise counsel from those who can genuinely support us. My wish is that these words resonate with you and help awaken a dormant place in your heart and mind. If you know someone who might need to hear this, please share the message with them.Support the show

Send us a textLove doesn't embody control; it thrives in freedom. True love nurtures individuality and respects boundaries, allowing each person to grow in their own way. It is not about possession, manipulation, or coercion, but about trust, respect, and mutual understanding. Love encourages self-expression and empowers both individuals to be their authentic selves without fear of judgment or retribution. It embraces vulnerability and imperfection, knowing that genuine connection is born from acceptance, not domination.Support the show

Send us a textIn this episode, I address the power of choosing not to react when people try to provoke us, either intentionally or unintentionally. I emphasize that not every action needs a reaction and that engaging in unnecessary conflicts only drains our energy and disrupts our peace. I encourage everyone to understand the importance of silence and how it can be a powerful response. Silence doesn't mean weakness; it can signify strength and control over one's emotions.Throughout the episode, I highlight the significance of protecting our peace and urge everyone to reflect before reacting, asking themselves if the conversation will truly lead to greater understanding or just more frustration. Prioritizing peace over conflict, I advocate for walking away from arguments and choosing silence over drama.Finally, I want to to remind everyone that they are not obligated to engage in every conflict and should feel empowered to guard their peace. Support the show

Send us a textIn this episode, I, share my personal journey of evolving faith and the profound impact God's grace has had on my life. I recount how, at times, I hesitated or diverted from God's call due to reluctance or fear, and the subsequent heaviness and conviction I felt. Through my narrative, I emphasize how God requires different parts of us at different stages in our spiritual growth, gently guiding and preparing us step by step.I highlight how God's love and grace have been instrumental in my healing journey, especially during my darkest moments. The importance of relying on God rather than just my understanding is underscored, as well as the wisdom and calm that come from being enveloped in faith. Through a verse from 1 Samuel 16:7, I stress that God judges us by our hearts rather than outward appearances. I share personal reflections on forgiveness, the challenges I faced, and how I perceive my role not as an influencer but as a creator driven by God's inspiration.The episode ends on an encouraging note, reassuring viewers of God's endless love, support, and the bigger plans He has for each of us, urging everyone to embrace His grace and the unique path He has laid out for them.Support the show

Send us a Text Message.In this episode of Seasoned Dialogue, we're diving deep into the world of people pleasing. People pleasing often leads to a severe lack of boundaries, self-esteem issues, and a constant need for validation. I know firsthand that changing this behavior is challenging and forces us to reflect on our fears—whether it's fear of rejection or grappling with low self-esteem.I recommend strategies like writing down your feelings and setting clear boundaries to begin overcoming these tendencies. It's also crucial to manage guilt, affirm your self-worth, and limit exposure to negative influences for self-care. It's equally important to celebrate your progress, no matter how small, in setting boundaries and prioritizing yourself. After all, saying yes to yourself and no to others sometimes is necessary for mental and emotional well-being.Failing to set boundaries can take a real toll on your health, impacting your lifestyle and overall well-being. Prioritizing self-care isn't just a buzzword; it's essential for your happiness. Happiness should always come from within, and it's not your responsibility to make others happy.People pleasers not only lack boundaries but also feel responsible for others' feelings. This leads to exhaustion and resentment because there's rarely any reciprocation. It's a constant cycle of prioritizing others at the expense of self, which can even strain relationships due to an inability to be authentic or communicate openly.I host self-love coaching sessions for both men and women to address these deep-rooted issues. In these sessions, we focus on doing the work with intention to foster genuine self-love and personal growth. Remember, your worth isn't tied to how useful or agreeable you are to others.I hope this encapsulates the essence of the podcast episode for you!Self Love Coaching Consultation https://lisamarie.info/shop/58ce38d6-f16a-4b3c-943a-eb76c6a4b014Support the Show.

Send us a Text Message.In this episode of "The Pivot," I offer motivational advice for those struggling with indecision and fear. The importance of taking small steps toward one's goals and  understanding that these minor pivots can lead to significant changes are important.1. **Incremental Progress**: Take small, manageable steps toward your goals. Even a single pivot or decision can move you closer to your objectives.2. **Overcoming Fear**: Fear often holds people back from making necessary changes. Embrace change despite the fear, what's on the other side of needed decisions is worth the discomfort.3. **Faith and Prayer**: Praying for guidance and for the right people to come into your life can make a significant difference.4. **Seek Wisdom**: Surround yourself with wise, loving individuals who can provide insights and guidance. However, also be cautious about whom you share your plans with, as negativity or ignorance from others can be detrimental.5. **Be True to Yourself**: Consistently emphasize the importance of staying true to who you are, embracing your authentic self, and not letting fear or societal pressure change your core values.6. **Action is Required**: It's not enough to have faith or pray; you also need to take action toward your goals. God helps those who help themselves by taking actionable steps.7. **Process Over Perfection**: Understand that nothing is perfect from the get-go. Life is a series of steps and processes. Trust the process and believe that everything will work out in due time.8. **Value of Memories**: Capture moments through pictures as they tell a story and serve as a grounding reminder of how you felt at a particular moment in time.9. **Support and Encouragement**: The importance of community and support,  sharing your stories, and supporting each other provides a strong impact.10. **Navigate Setbacks**: View setbacks or "no's" as opportunities to learn and build rather than as definitive ends. This involves understanding the reasons behind a setback and actively working to overcome them.Support the Show.

Send us a Text Message.In this episode we discuss the emotional turmoil and reactions that arise when someone distorts the truth about a falling-out, making the victim appear to be the aggressor. People shift blame to protect their self-esteem and avoid guilt or responsibility for negative outcomes. This behavior stems from a lack of honesty, self-accountability, and the fear of consequences.I also introduce the concept of cognitive dissonance, where individuals hold contradictory beliefs that cause internal conflict, leading them to blame others rather than face the truth. Preserving one's emotional well-being by not wasting energy on correcting false narratives and by distancing oneself from toxic individuals is an important aspect to consider.The significance of maintaining self-respect and self-worth highlights the need to recognize and avoid problematic people while keeping one's peace. Ultimately, focus on your well-being and let go of the need to overexplain or correct the misconceptions of others.Support the Show.

In the episode titled, "Love Bombing Explained: When Affection Becomes Manipulation" delves into the topic of love bombing, a manipulative technique characterized by excessive affection and attention to gain control over a partner. The episode discusses how love bombers often possess narcissistic traits and might have underlying attachment issues. Through the example of Tiffany and Dave, it illustrates how love bombing can start with overwhelming affection but evolve into possessiveness and control, potentially escalating to abuse. I highlight common warning signs like rapid relationship escalation, isolation, jealousy, and grandiose apologies. I advise victims to trust their instincts, set boundaries, and seek support. For love bombers, self-reflection and addressing personal insecurities are recommended. The goal is to educate listeners about recognizing and combating love bombing, emphasizing self-care and healthy relationship dynamics.Support the show

In this episode we delve into the complex aftermath of betrayal in relationships. I highlight how betrayal can lead to trust issues, emotional turmoil, and psychological stress, potentially causing anxiety, depression, and PTSD. Healing from betrayal is critical not just for the individual but also for the broader social and family dynamics. I stress the importance of processing emotions at one's own pace, despite societal pressures to quickly overcome the trauma. I cover different levels of betrayal, varying effects on individuals, and the necessity of open communication and honesty in relationships. I also emphasize that if one chooses to stay post-betrayal, the importance of love-based communication and not using the past as leverage is paramount.

Life can get overwhelming, but it's important to embrace the journey and know that you still have time to achieve your goals. Intuition and discernment are spiritual gifts that we all possess. They're not superhuman abilities, but rather innate senses that guide us. Trust your gut feelings! For some, a deeper connection to their spirituality can amplify their intuition and discernment. It can be through a relationship with God or a belief in the universe. When you sense something is off, pray or ask the universe to reveal what it is. Being prepared for the outcome can save you from unnecessary heartache later. Always pay attention to those gut feelings and physical cues like headaches or uneasiness. Your body is trying to protect you and warn you of potential dangers or misalignments in energy. Don't ignore the signs! Whether it's a person's vibes, a trip that keeps going wrong, or reoccurring dreams, there's a message waiting to be discovered. Investigate further! You'll know you're tapping into your spiritual gift when you see the results align with your initial feelings or dreams. Trust your instincts and have faith in the signs that come your way. Remember, everyone's spiritual journey is unique and personal. It's about finding what resonates with you and embracing the power within. Keep an open mind and trust the process! Do you believe that everyone has the gift of intuition and discernment? Why or why not?Have you ever ignored your intuition and later regretted it?

Many people can relate to feeling hurt and untrusting, believing that they don't have the space to allow someone into their lives. It is possible to operate on a level of trust, even after experiencing past traumas. I encourage you  to take accountability for the way you show up for yourself and others, as the lack of accountability can lead to being stuck in old patterns and resistant to growth.Feeling broken and guarded can make it challenging to open up and allow someone to love and nurture the wounded parts of their heart. We desire to protect the little corner that is still available for love and restoration but sometimes the suffering we experience is self-imposed because we are resistant to undoing the pain we have endured. Acknowledge that it is a step-by-step process but allow your heart a little bit of an opening, as experiences can help us recall the capacity to love and be loved.  It is important to not allow past hurts prevent personal growth and the ability to love and connect with others. Listen in as w dive in deeper…00:05:48 Breaking free from past hurt.00:08:23 Open up and embrace growth.00:13:07 We all want love and connection.Support the show
