Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” Apps: One Giant Mind Routines

This week we keep it light- dismantling White supremacy and toxic Christianity... Why? Because in order to truly heal, these subjects must be addressed. There's a legacy of abuse and trauma inside the Christian church. Nobody wants to admit it- but saying it out loud is the first step to freedom. Saying it out loud is what dismantles it. Our guest today says it out loud. Everyday. And helps many people finally be able to have permission to feel what they have been feeling. She validates the experience of so many who feel left out, cast aside, ignored and “other” within the church. As well as those who leave and lose their community. “You heal. That's the work. You heal because healed people encourage others and become safe spaces. And if we're safe spaces that mean that we are healing agents.” Jo Luehmann There is so much goodness here!

What do you do with feelings? As humans who have a lot of feelings each day, you'd think we know. That somewhere along the line we'd learn how to deal with whatever emotions come up. But we don't. So today we discuss how to FEEL your feelings. Not try to escape, or drown, or stuff. Just feel them. Do you have a way that you do this? Is it a struggle? There's certainly no shortage of things happening in the world today to give us some big emotions. Listen in to get a simple but effective process that we use with clients. This is such an important thing to practice. How we deal with our emotions determines our level or relationships, success and peace. After you listen let us know what you think!

We are enjoying all this extra time with family, for the most part. But on day (what day is it?) of isolation what do we talk about now? How to make this time count? The majority of us have no clue! But we WANT to. We WANT to feel close to our spouse and kids. We WANT to feel seen and heard in our relationships. So we're going to give you a game plan- and be the guinea pigs! This week we answer 5 questions to foster closeness out of a list of 36 that we're sharing with you. These questions run the gamut from funny to deep and we know they will add a little something to the conversations in your social distancing. Try them with your family, try them with your friends on Zoom and let us know how it goes.

How are you doing with social media? We're finding it harder to navigate lately! If you notice that you're getting angry or fearful or overwhelmed while scrolling, you're not alone.

Have you made some rules to protect yourself from overwhelm on social media? Also, we're curious- What have you been hearing from your inner voice lately?
