3 Steps To Recover Trust 1. Identifying the source: The first step towards recovery from trust issues is to identify the source or cause of these issues. This could be a past traumatic experience, a pattern of negative experiences, or other underlying factors such as childhood experiences or mental health conditions. 2. Communication and Self-reflection: Open communication with trusted friends, family, or a therapist can help in gaining insights and understanding of one's trust issues. 3. Self-reflection and introspection can also help in identifying patterns and triggers of distrust. Building trust gradually: Re-building trust takes time and effort. It involves small, consistent actions that demonstrate reliability and transparency. Building new relationships, practicing forgiveness and letting go of past experiences, and engaging in activities that promote self-care and self-esteem can also help in the process of regaining trust. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/trulypivotalmoments/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/trulypivotalmoments/support

Whether at work or at home - with a friend or a family member, relationships can become toxic. What does that look like? Well, listen to this podcast and then ask questions

People tend to say that if our room or home is messy, then we have some problems. These problems can simply be a lack of organization or they could be as serious as depression. But is this true? Is it possible that it's a form of "normal" to be messy? Can it even indicate "genius"? Let's discuss this today on Truly Pivotal Moments

What is the first thing that you think about when you read the title of this podcast?  Exactly the opposite of what we will talk about (only for some of you, I know).  Not "using" like abusing, but "using" like utilizing the benefits of a real and proven friendship.  The intentional friendships you build are to be used.  This is a benefit, not the sole purpose for investing in a friendship.  We will break this all down today and even challenge the relationships in our lives.  Are they friends? Or maybe they are actually acquaintances.  Today on Truly Pivotal Moments. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/trulypivotalmoments/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/trulypivotalmoments/support

Ok, so the relationship is going unbelievably well.  You've had a bit of time together, faced some challenges, grew through some experiences.  But then THAT comes up.  Either it is revealed or "discovered" by your own research or a caring "friend" mentions it.  You're torn.  What do you do?  It is so hard to believe and so opposite of who you believe this person to be.  It's decision time.  This is a very pivotal moment.  Let's talk about this today and consider some things on Truly Pivotal Moments. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/trulypivotalmoments/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/trulypivotalmoments/support

Have you ever behaved emotionally during a very challenging situation at work?  Have you ever "told someone off" because they had it coming?  Ever act out of character while driving and become some Road Warrior?  Well, I'm sure we have all experienced these things, but afterward, we feel embarrassed or ashamed.  Or we discover something about the personal life of the individual we have been gossiping about and we realize why they act the way they act...   Have you ever experienced the forgiveness of others when you have acted in an unusual way? Well, there's always more information than we know about:  Their history, their current situations, or just their inability to build relationships or handle pressure. During this podcast, we will talk about these things and about some real examples in my life.  There will be a lot to consider well and, hopefully, you will be able to respond to these common circumstances in a respectful and responsible way. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/trulypivotalmoments/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/trulypivotalmoments/support

It is often an outburst during a very tense and emotional time, "You are causing this relationship to fail!"  Very painful words to hear and of course, we know that both people in the relationship need to shoulder some of the responsibility for failure.  However, there could be things that you ARE doing that could actually cause failure in your relationships.  I know, I know...  you keep picking the wrong type of woman or the wrong type of man.. etc., etc..  but YOU are the common factor... Uh oh, right?   In reality, we spend more time researching our next vehicle than our next partner!  In a vehicle, we look for things like reliability, warranty, reviews, and history of that particular make/model.  We ask our friends and coworkers for their opinion and we have to even consider the cost.  Shouldn't we at least consider these things before getting into a serious relationship?  Well, we will talk about these things and much more, today, on Truly Pivotal Moments.  --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/trulypivotalmoments/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/trulypivotalmoments/support

Well, this is not a unique topic at all.  But I believe that your perspective might be refreshed by listening to this episode.  Perception is reality and what many perceive as "success" is either unachievable or you will be exhausted and unsatisfied when you finally do achieve it.  Of course, there are some in-between experiences...  So, the goal of this podcast is not to supercharge you with the formula for success.  Rather, the goal is to help you to change your perspective to a MACRO perspective so that you can enjoy the many victories along the way and relieve the stress from incredible expectations in a way that makes you more productive and allows you to actually experience success much more often.  Take a listen and let me know what you think:  Instagram: Trulypivotalmoments.  gmail: Trulypivotalmoments@gmail.com --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/trulypivotalmoments/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/trulypivotalmoments/support

I know, right? But it's true! In the proper context, we can rejoice when we fall down. There is so much to learn and, actually, we often learn other things in the pursuit of something else.

With so much instability in the world today, it makes it harder and harder to feel stable in our own lives.  Whether it be in the workplace or at home, we all need more than the theory of stability, more than the sense of stability, we need the REALITY of stability.  But, how do you get there?  There's definitely a way and you can start TODAY!

Like exercise at a gym, many people fail to push through the challenges in their relationships. They would rather give up or settle than to develop and grow by pressing into the moment. Often that final push is where all of the transformation happens. By practicing this principle in our daily interactions, we can develop better friendships and go to new levels in our intimate relationships as well.

Managing expectations is very important to all types of relationships. The question is, "Have you set them?" Wow, right? And, when do you do this? Do you ever change them? When? How?

We can't trust our feelings...entirely. After all, it feels good to scratch a mosqito bit or some chicken pox, but it is NOT good for you to do it.

We all have experienced great loss this year: Loss of freedom, loss of finance, loss of security about our health, jobs, and even government rule in some cases... a great many people had to deal with the loss of a family member or friend. How do we cope with loss? Well, the reality is, we all experience much more loss than victory throughout our lives. Why is it that we do well and excel sometimes and crumble during others?

Whenever we have trying times or we realize that we are in unhealthy patterns, destructive relationships, or a toxic environment, we need more than "coping mechanisms." We need more than learning how to "survive" the situation.  We need more than awareness.  We need real steps to position us, real techniques that work, and real changes in our emotional and relational health - even if we cannot leave the toxic atmosphere we're in.  This podcast is designed to help you through these genuine situations and circumstances... to rise above your emotions and implement a framework for a new way of living amid the toxic atmosphere.   We cannot change our family members or coworkers as we may want to.  Running away is rarely the solution.  And yet, we do not want the side effects of these, "less than perfect" unions to continue to affect the other relationships we want and need in our lives.  Take a listen to this podcast.  If it helps you, great! Leave us a message and let us know.  If you think others can benefit from it, share it with them.  Either way, do not stay the same.  Begin the changes to help you go beyond coping! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/trulypivotalmoments/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/trulypivotalmoments/support

So many things challenged us in 2020. One thing we can all take away from it is that "Floods Happen" in life. Disasters occur. Not just in that other country or region, but in our lives. Do you have a plan of action? What are you most likely to encounter? How do you move on after it has swept everything away? We're going to discuss this today on Truly Pivotal Moments. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/trulypivotalmoments/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/trulypivotalmoments/support

What happens when you see destructive patterns in a friend's life? Well, you want to tell them about it, right? But, what if they won't listen? Then you have an intervention. Ok, but what if they deny it and get angry with you? I know I know, but it happens and it can really test the commitment of friendship. It's hard to see people you care about hurting themselves and taking more and more unnecessary risks. But if you are a true friend, you will find a way to communicate this to them. Someone once said, "You can't trust anyone but yourself!" Ok, I can tell that the author had been seriously hurt to come to this conclusion. But I have deceived myself and lied to myself and convinced myself that everything is ok - when it wasn't! So, before you go all out to "help" your friend, consider what role you may have been playing. Are you having the same patterns? - because it is easier to point out someone else's problems when you have the same things going on in your life. If you can really say that you are not having the same issues, then try talking with them one on one. If it is not received, talk with another one of their close friends or family to see if they have a history of these things or if they also see the problems arising. The goal is to get the friend to see that if more than one person who cares about me sees these things in my life, they may be true.

Whether perceived or real, unfairness hurts. Knowing how to deal with it and discover its validity is crucial to maintaining a proper perspective.

Déjà Vu?  Ever feel like you've been in this exact moment before?  Well, it's called Déjà Vu.  This is, of course, a French word meaning, "already seen".  It is a crazy and kind of cool experience that we have from time to time.  But what about when it's not cool, only crazy?  I mean when you say, "How did I get back in this situation again?  You can have this feeling with tension at work, or in your finances, or even in your relationships.  Here's the thing... when it happens at work, you can blame a number of things there:  the boss, your co-workers, the company, the clients.  When it happens in your relationships, you can blame a number of factors caused by the other person or people.  But when it happens to you aside from these things, it's a harder pill to swallow.   We set patterns in our everyday life that we often miss unless we have another perspective or opinion.  In this episode, we will look at how many patterns we establish actually affect our relationships.  We can break the cycle, but we have to see it first.  We will discuss this dynamic today on Truly Pivotal Moments. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/trulypivotalmoments/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/trulypivotalmoments/support

SKILLS are developed when you take these things seriously... Not too seriously, but with intention and purpose.  Seeing someone you want to know more about is ok.  Realizing that you cross paths often or go to the same coffee shop is not a form of stalking!!  Wanting to cross paths more often means that you are interested in them.  So, interact with them.  It's not that difficult, there are a number of ways you can "break the ice" and initiate getting to know someone.  We discuss these things and describe common scenarios for both men and women meeting both male and female potential friends.  Then we share how to introduce yourself.   All of this with the agenda of making FRIENDS... nothing else.  If your agenda is anything else, the other person will sense it and it may be creepy and unwelcome.  Even if the other person accepts an intimate interaction, you will be trying to build something on shifting sand, instead of on solid ground.  --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/trulypivotalmoments/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/trulypivotalmoments/support

A house is not a home.  It may look like a place where people live, but is it a nourishing, growing, protecting environment?  When you step into a house, you may see the rooms designated, but are they "lived in"?  Is the atmosphere palpable?  Does it feel safe? In this episode, we consider the relationships we have and the ones we need.  We also think about what type of person we are: introvert (those energized by time away from others, or extrovert (those energized by interaction with others. Looking at each relationship in our lives presently can we see "load-bearing" friendships as well as other friendships that help us to grow and develop?  Are the roles of others clearly defined and understood or are they more like extras in a movie?  Lots to consider, I know.  This episode is not conclusive, just something to consider which may help you to give purpose to those you interact with on a regular basis and intention to those interactions. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/trulypivotalmoments/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/trulypivotalmoments/support

Online relationships abound these days.  Many of us have people we consider friends or colleagues online.  We hear of the occasional story of someone marrying an online partner... and, of course, we hear of or have experienced some rather strange engagements online as well.  It is a new world full of very new ways of doing things.  So, how do online relationships rate?  Are they to be considered "real"?  Should I value them as much as real-life interactions?  What are the flags to look for?

Transitional Relationships:  Relationships that only last for a relatively short time.  They seem real and are often so enjoyable.  However, they are gone as fast as they came, or they do not last as long as we would have liked.  These either "are" or can be considered transitional relationships.  Sure, sometimes this is just a coping mechanism to repackage relationships of old.  But think about it.  We have several jobs before we settle into a career.  We will have many more relationships before we have ones that last and matter more. For whatever reason, the relationship is over - without announcing it or declaring it.  You may still work around the other person, but something has definitely changed.   Instead of using this to fuel insecurities, just realize that it was transitional.  See all that you learned and keep the sensation of all the good times, etc.  Do not the good memories away or deem them insincere.  You are the one deciding how this will be filed in your life.  It was a transitional relationship.   Let's talk more about it.  If you want to comment or ask questions, please leave me a message here on Anchor.tv/trulypivotalmoments or you can send me an email at trulypivotalmoments@gmail.com --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/trulypivotalmoments/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/trulypivotalmoments/support
