When our good friends encounter challenges,A default response for many of us is often:To have their backTo show up fullyTo be kindTo put judgment aside, And to remind them that they are not alone. When we turn this practice, of being for someone, toward ourselves, particularly in the face of:obstacles, hardships, adversity, and failure,it's called self-compassion.A practice that involves recognizing our own suffering, and meeting it with love, As we learn to become a good friend to ourselves. Over time learning to listen less to the harsh whispers of the inner critic, And more to the encouraging words from that wiser part of us - Our inner ally.When we practice in this way, the door to a more sustainable and expansive experience opens, And we have the opportunity to walk through it and into the rest of our life with greater resilience, ease, wellbeing, and balance.Today's guest, Megan Prager, is Director of Compassion Programs at the University of California San Diego's Center for Mindfulness. Megan is one of the leading teachers of mindful self compassion in the US.She hosts retreats, classes, and experiences that offer the opportunity to learn mindfulness, compassion, and a whole host of practices that foster an opportunity to learn to become better friends to ourselves. Today we are going to take a deep dive into Megan's journey to becoming the teacher and leader she is today. A journey that was marked by her own experiences of adversity, suffering, and (particularly at the beginning) skepticism of the very practices she now teaches.We'll also get into the fiercer aspects of self-compassion that involve:Boundary setting, Fnding the courage to show up in integrity, And how self-compassion can be helpful in the challenging and uncertain times we find ourselves in. For more on Megan, her classes, retreats, teacher trainings, and various other offerings, please visit mindfullabs.comDid you find this episode inspiring?

Our beloved Grace Valentine is back with a brand new book "The Better Friend: 12 Truths to Shift from Shallow and One-Sided Connections to Vibrant Friendships." Grace helps us rethink the way we connect with others and shares her wise and relatable insight on belonging, comparison, gossip, and the scriptures that equip us to be a better friend. We talk about the different types of friends and why we need each of them. Grace reminds us we are not alone as we pursue friendships especially when God designed us for community. In her own beautiful words "...I am praying that as you read these words, you will find peace from Jesus, unreasonable love, confidence to not give up, and friendships that make you better.  Better is coming when you do life with the Giver of Life."  Go buy her book!!   It's a beautiful read for all of us, but we especially recommend it for your high school and college students.   Buy the book here  Connect with Grace online!     Proverbs 16:24: "Kind words are like honey— sweet to the soul and healthy for the body."

Why do we think boundaries are about making others behave when they're actually about our choices? Ever set a boundary only to feel like it didn't work? Maybe you told someone not to do something, and they did it anyway—so much for boundaries, right? Turns out, a lot of us have been thinking about boundaries all wrong! In this episode, we break down a powerful yet simple truth: a real boundary is something you will do, and it doesn't require the other person to do anything.

Welcome back to week two of I'd Rather Be Reading season 16! Today on the show we have the lovely Grace Valentine, here to talk about her new book The Better Friend: 12 Truths to Shift from Shallow and One-Sided Connections to Vibrant Friendships, which comes out March 11. We talked a lot in season 15 about friendship, and the conversation is spilling over to season 16, too. Grace is a TEDx speaker, the host of the podcast “Water Into Wine,” and is the author of five books. She's a contributing writer for Proverbs 31 Ministries—which I can't get enough of—and Live Original. She is a native of one of my favorite cities, New Orleans, and is a graduate of Baylor, which is also where my husband graduated from! (Although, admittedly, we graduated a million years before Grace did.) Grace now makes her home in Atlanta and is earning a degree at Asbury Theological Seminary. In The Better Friend, Grace tackles shallow friendships and how friendships that don't serve us can negatively impact our lives; she talks to us today about signs we might be settling in friendship; how to prioritize friendship in our busy lives; how to maintain friends and make new ones; her thoughts on long distance friendships and friendship breakups; what she wishes everyone knew about friendship; and her faith, which very obviously means so much to her. Take a listen to our powerful conversation.The Better Friend: 12 Truths to Shift from Shallow and One-Sided Connections to Vibrant Friendships by Grace Valentine

Are your compliments surface-level flattery, or a call-out of a person's attributes and efforts? In this episode, we're diving into the art of giving meaningful compliments, inspired by a powerful Instagram reel from Mel Robbins (@melrobbins). We often toss around compliments like "You're so smart" or "You look great," but how much do these words really impact the person receiving them? In this episode, we explore how to move beyond surface-level flattery and into the realm of truly edifying and encouraging others in a way that reflects God's love. Whether it's highlighting a friend's loyalty, admiring their contagious laughter, or acknowledging their growth in a specific area, we want to encourage you to speak words that matter. We also discuss the importance of recognizing the effort and intention behind someone's actions rather than just praising what comes naturally to them. Complimenting someone on a developed skill or a positive change they've made can be far more uplifting and motivating than a vague, general statement. It's about seeing the person, understanding their journey, and affirming the work God is doing in their lives. Ultimately, this episode is about cultivating a heart that looks for the good in others and speaks it out, not just to make them feel good, but to encourage them to continue growing in their walk with Christ. When we give compliments that are thoughtful and specific, we're not only building up our friends, but we're also participating in the bigger story that God is writing in their lives. So, tune in as we learn how to give compliments that inspire, uplift, and glorify God in the process.

Can consciousness transform our lives and relationships? My recent conversation with Dr. Shefali would suggest so. What began as a discussion about self-awareness evolved into a deep exploration of how consciousness can transform every aspect of our lives, from our relationships to our sense of purpose. In this episode of Live Well, Be Well, we challenge conventional wisdom and cover these: Welcome to Conscious Living: Introducing Dr Shefali (00:00) What is Consciousness? Exploring Authentic Self-Awareness (00:24)The Gift of Pain: Turning Suffering into Personal Growth (08:40)Reclaiming Your Power in Relationships: A Path to Authenticity (15:19)Rethinking Self and Purpose: Moving Beyond Cultural Illusions (20:14)Embracing Change: Why Our Purpose Evolves Over Time (27:46)The AI Revolution: Balancing Progress and Human Connection (32:38)Understanding Your Shadow: The Key to Wholeness (38:25)Taking Responsibility: The Heart of Personal Empowerment (45:52)Living Authentically: Finding Joy in Alignment (48:23)53:59 Your Conscious Living Toolkit: Key Takeaways and Resources Dr. Shefali not only offers insights and strategies, but we confront truths such as: Are we self-aware? How can we reclaim power in relationships? Why is understanding our shadow essential? Whatever the main relationships in your life, be it romantic, professional or as a parent, this episode will shine a light on how you can show up with self-awareness and authenticity. Dr. Shefali is a NYT bestselling author of books on conscious parenting and living. Oprah calls her "revolutionary" and "the best child expert" she's interviewed, and her message has reached millions through social media and appearances. This conversation gave me a new perspective on conscious living and tools for self-discovery, and I hope you take away from this as much as I did.I look forward to hearing your thoughts, Sarah Ann***If you enjoyed this episode you might also like:Simon Sinek: How to Be a Better Friend and Why It MattersBetter Sex EVERY TIME?

Send us a Text Message.In this episode, I dive deep into the intricate dynamics of friendships, exploring the complexities that arise when some of our closest connections undergo shifts or come to an end. I reflect on my own experiences over the past six months, where I have witnessed meaningful friendships change in unexpected ways. Together, we explore the questions that often linger in our minds: How do we determine when to invest in a friendship? When should we hold steadfast and fight for these bonds? And how do we navigate the delicate balance between standing up for ourselves and genuinely listening, even when we disagree? We examine the significance of reciprocity, the art of being a better friend, and the importance of engaging in difficult conversations for the purpose of growth and deepening. Join me as we explore the intricacies of investing in friendship and knowing when to let go, all with a heartfelt appreciation for those friends who continue to invest in us and those who remind us of the power of release. Season 3 is sponsored by Rad Hats For Rad Humans. 30% of every purchase goes towards mental health initiatives.
