Podcasts about be who you are

Inspired by a recent chat with her social media manager, and the realisation that she is approaching thirty years in the perfume business, Karen has decided to take a look back and ponder on the thing that she would tell her younger self if the opportunity arose. When you're new to anything, whether it be a perfume business or not, you are also naive. Only with time, failure and growth can we realise the mistakes we have made in the past. In this episode, Karen looks back at her career and imparts her wisdom upon you, from learning to say no to being your authentic self, so that you don't make the mistakes that befall so many. KEY TAKEAWAYS One of the biggest mistakes new businesses make, and one Karen did herself, is setting your price point lower than your competitors in the hope that it will win you more customers. Karen debunks this idea and tells you how to calculate a price that works for you and your customers. When your business venture is new and exciting, work doesn't feel like work and you find yourself working longer hours. However, as Karen learned that hard way, your energy is not unlimited. Karen explains why ‘sustainable' isn't just ideal, it's the only way. A lesson that Karen learned from her first ever business is one that still holds true today - “Build your business around your life, not the other way around.” Karen's new business adopts this philosophy and she shares how different her life is because of it. ‘Be Who You Are' - is one of the biggest lessons Karen has learnt. In her early days in business she tried to be the person she thought her direct audience wanted her to be, but this became exhausting.

Some people are just born with it. Whether it's the intelligence you need to thrive, personality traits that make you likable – or your dad owning the company you grow up to become “Chief Servant Leader” of – we all have something going for us.Throughout the 192 (and counting) episodes of Fine Is a 4-Letter Word, I've covered stories of pain, struggle, perseverance, and salvation. One of my guests even went to prison for a murder she did not commit!Kevin Schnieders is one of those guys who, when you first meet him, strikes you as the kind who was just born with it. But as we peel back the layers, you're going to get to know a man who shows there's always room to grow and boundless opportunities to make an impact when you see them.Kevin's dad was a school administrator who took a bold leap in founding EDSI, a workforce development, customized training, and consulting company focused on providing innovative solutions to close workforce skills gaps around the country. His mom was his dad's biggest cheerleader, not a big departure since she had actually been a cheerleader for the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was the middle child, partially in awe of his brother who was brilliant in his studies. Kevin was less academic, but he found a niche as an athlete and pursued a dream of becoming a sportscaster. Rather than take to the mic, Kevin went into teaching and then came to work at EDSI – first as a training consultant, then as Director of HR and Operations, then as COO, before becoming CEO. Then he bought the company. Along the way he married and has two wonderful daughters who make him proud every day.You'd think – wow, everything's fine for Kevin. We could say, “He's doing great and he lived happily after ever. The end!” But Fine Is a 4-Letter Word, as Kevin discovered when he was asked at a seminar how intelligent he was on a scale of 1 to 10, and he answered “6”. Bang! At that point, he realized he'd been carrying weight around for not being “as smart” as his brother. I'll let Kevin explain. Then he attended another seminar and found out that for as compassionate as he always is toward others, he'd been falling short in practicing self-compassion.In a moment, when you meet Kevin, you'll discover what came next. How does all this impact him as a father? How does he pass his values to his daughters? As the owner of a company with 856 employees, what's his secret for creating a sense of personal connection with every single person who works for him – all 856 of them? Whether you have zero, ten, or 856 employees, or you are the employee, get out a note card – yes, an actual note card – and prepare to write.Kevin's hype song is "Be Who You Are" by Michael Franti & Spearhead.Resources:Kevin Schnieders' website: https://www.edsi.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/edsi/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/EDSITalent Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/edsi_careers/ X: https://x.com/EDSI_Solutions YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/EDSIvideos Invitation from Lori: This episode is sponsored by Zen Rabbit.

Barbara shares the story of embracing her gay brother after he came out later in life, highlighting her family's unconditional love. In this heartfelt interview, she reflects on why being gay should never be a reason to disown a loved one.

Welcome!

Scripture Passage Psalm 27 Worship Video Worship Audio Sermon Script We've been studying David at our Winter Fridays. The psalm we read today was written by him. Around 73 of the 150 psalms are attributed to David. That is almost half of the entire book. He was a talented poet. He had the sensitivity of an artist and the insight of a theologian. When I look at David's life, I see a common theme. It is that God was always with him. He lived his life with this understanding, in all circumstances. God was never separate from or outside the reality of his life. God was intimately involved in his life. We can see this at the beginning of today's psalm The LORD is my light and my salvation;whom shall I fear?The LORD is the stronghold of my life;of whom shall I be afraid? (Psalm 27:1) Even in danger, David never lost his confidence. Knowing that God was with him gave him strength. It gave him the courage to face Goliath when no one else wanted to. It gave him the wisdom to spare Saul's life even when it was to his advantage. It made him the spiritual rock that he was. What does it mean to know that God is always with us? What did it mean for David? I asked myself that question. This is something that we hear often. But what is implied in that expression? To know that God is with us is to know that we are LOVED. There is no difference. They are very much connected. That we are loved reveals itself in the way God cares for us. Knowing this is the foundation of our faith. It is the source of our confidence in the midst of trouble. David knew that he was loved. It was not head knowledge. He experienced God's love surrounding him all throughout his life. Not only in his successes and victories, but especially in situations that seemed impossible and life-threatening. He was saved numerous times from Saul's attempts to kill him. He was pulled back from the frontlines just as he thought he had to go to war against his own people. When he was lost and unsure of what to do, David saw God's hand rescuing him like a ray of light piercing through the darkness. God's steadfast love became real to him in those moments. We don't know the exact context or background of today's psalm. It is obvious that he is in some kind of danger. People are against him and they want his life. Yet, he does not easily waver in his confidence. He knows that he is loved and God will take care of him. For he will hide me in his shelterin the day of trouble;he will conceal me under the cover of his tent;he will set me high on a rock. (Psalm 27:5) If my father and mother forsake me,the LORD will take me up. (Psalm 27:10) Whenever difficulties come, the first thing we do is panic. We become fearful. We lose perspective and get overwhelmed. We look for solutions to get rid of our problems quickly. We make rash and impulsive decisions. We end up complicating our situations even more. We feel more powerless and helpless than before. All this comes from believing that we are alone. That is why we ask ourselves, Why is this happening to me? We feel totally isolated. Is God really with me? In other words, we are asking Am I loved by God? That was Saul. He lived in constant fear. It stemmed from his belief that he was totally alone. Unlike David, God was not a part of his reality. Only himself. His life became all about him trying to deal with his problems. But it didn't better his situation. It only led him further and further into darkness. It ultimately destroyed him. In that sense, dealing with the challenges of life is not so much a question of what to do, but WHO WE ARE. It is not a matter of finding effective solutions, but our IDENTITY. When the storms come, what gets rattled is our sense of self. Everything else in our life feels shaky as a result. If our identity is firmly rooted, we can withstand the storm. If our identity is fragile, we will be knocked down by the storm. That is what our Hi-C students reflected on at their retreat last weekend. The theme was, Be Who You Are . To be a rock, we need to cultivate a healthy and strong identity. Adolescence is perhaps the most formative time for that. Cultivating a healthy sense of self begins with hearing who God says that we are. The first thing God tells us is that we are loved as Jesus heard at his baptism And a voice came from the heavens, You are my Son, the Beloved; with you I am well pleased. (Mark 1:11) We are not loved because of anything we have done. It is because that is who God is. God is love. We were loved even before we were born. Our very existence is the evidence of God's love. To know that we are loved is where everything starts. It is the bedrock of our life and identity. Do you know that you are loved? Do you believe that? Remind yourself daily of this truth. I AM LOVED. Every morning. During the day. At the end of the night. I think it can be a good spiritual practice for Lent. When we rest in God's love, the power of fear will lose its grip over us. It will no longer control or dictate the way we live. The most visible indication of the absence of love in our life is the presence of fear. From there comes hatred and anger, envy and jealousy. Where love is present, fear cannot exercise its power. There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. (1 John 4:18) Whether you feel it or not, God's love always surrounds you. That will never change. There is never a moment when you are away or apart from God. His love will accompany you through all the stages of your life. David said Where can I go from your spirit?Or where can I flee from your presence?If I ascend to heaven, you are there;if I make my bed in Sheol, you are there.If I take the wings of the morningand settle at the farthest limits of the sea,even there your hand shall lead me,and your right hand shall hold me fast. (Psalm 139:7-10) Hearing this, I also thought of what St. Paul said. Like David, he lived with the deep understanding that he was loved. He knew that nothing could separate him from God. No, in all these things we are more than victorious through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8:37-39) UNCERTAINTY seems to be the word that captures the mood of today. Not that our life was more certain before. But what is happening around us seems to amplify the feeling of uncertainty even more. People are stressed and on edge. They are struggling not just financially, but mentally as well. They seem burdened and down. In some ways, this feels like the next big challenge that we are facing since the pandemic. How we choose to go through this period will be very important. Even though our circumstances may tell us otherwise, remember that you are loved. You don't have to do anything. First, simply rest in God's love. Find refuge in God. Be still and look to him. Be strong and courageous, as David said Wait for the LORD;be strong, and let your heart take courage;wait for the LORD! (Psalm 27:14) You are not alone. God is always with you. God will stretch out his hand and deliver you. God's goodness will surround you and follow you. God will help you come out of the storm stronger than before. This is the time for us to be shaped into a ROCK. The post Know You Are Loved appeared first on St Timothy Presbyterian Church.

Where do old stories go to die? As we are nearing the end of these stories about stories, it's a fair question. Do stories die? Do they end? Can they end? Or are they like energy - only (and always) changing form? Sure, our stories will go on through the stories of others we have touched. I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about stories as we carry them. Can we leave them, or lose them, or let them drive off into the sunset without us? This is more important than you might think...

Betrayal. It's a classic story element. An act of disloyalty. We are misled or outright deceived. Someone we trusted steals from us. Maybe it's something tangible, maybe it's more like our soul. Trust can be stolen, and with it, a beautiful innocence we had somehow kept safe untill now. Someone acts out of meanness or jealousy or vengeance. (What a word - vengeance - sounds as bad as it is). All this is standard story fare. Nothing new. Nothing unusual. Anyone can tell you about it. Everyone has seen it for themselves, though some more than others. What people don't talk about so much, though, is the “great betrayal.” The one that stands above all others. The one we see folks never get over, never talk about, never attempt to seek balance in the injustice. The betrayal of self...

A myth is not a lie. It's a bigger truth. Rather, a story told to reveal bigger truths. Truths that touch each of us at some time or another. Myths are not old and outdated. “Urban legends,” for example, speak to something more today. There's one I often tell to explain the conundrum we are in with artificial intelligence. Back at the turn of the century, urban legend has it that there was a city planning meeting where there was much discussion about the rapidly growing New York City. One planner suggested the others need not worry - population would be limited by the amount of horse shit they could get out of the city. Of course, the automobile was about to arrive as one of the greatest disruptors of all time...Enter YOUR labyrinth at: BeWhoYouAre.com   Request: I recorded this book for a podcast platform so that you can listen for free.

Unconscious. Subconscious. Pre-conscious. Shadowed consciousness. Altered consciousness. Just look at all the ways we can not be conscious. To get at this, there are a lot of methods to approach what we know - but don't know that we know. We could spend an entire lifetime probing into this unawareness (and some people do). Classify it. Codify it. Poke and prod. Philosophize. Create a double blind study. Look under taboo-rocks, and then under the earth that supports that rock, then under that, all the way to hot lava.

Meaning. Purpose. Passion. Impact. These are the story elements we all want. They are what makes the story of our lives worthwhile. More and more, though, I've noticed most want them in a drug-store greeting card way. A vision-board-to-make-it-so way. In an addicted, life-has-no-meaning-without-them way. In a “lookey, lookey what I've found” way. In a self-loathing, “what a failure I am to NOT have found them” way. In a “only if I can make money off it” way.

Risk is defined, quite simply, as the possibility of something bad happening. An exposure to danger. A threat. Sounds doomed from the start, doesn't it? Sure, bad things can and do happen.

Home is not a place. It's a story. A feeling. A sense of arrival. A need met. A recognition. A resting. A safety. A knowing. A Mecca of the heart. A satisfaction of the soul. To be honest, I've been trying to write about home ever since I got the assignment from an English professor in college.

As a fiction writer, we must know what our characters want. As a non-fiction writer, we must know what our audience wants. As the master storyteller of our life, we must know what we want. Let me be clear, the me of today wouldn't ever suggest that organizing our life around our surface wants is a good idea. It's a sales job, and a con job at that. Everything in our culture teaches us to want, primes us to want. Our biology gears up our wants, namely to procreate, but also to adventure into new territory in search of evolution, or sometimes just food. Our psyche tells us to want to stay socially safe, but also to differentiate, be unique, special...Enter YOUR labyrinth at: BeWhoYouAre.com   Request: I recorded this book for a podcast platform so that you can listen for free.

One of the first courses I taught was called The Second Half Of The Mountain. It alternated between lessons on daily life as it related to Shamanism, Taoism, and Alchemy.

Storytellers play god with their stories. They bless and they curse. They create and destroy. They let people die, or live, maybe healthy, maybe maimed. It's all up to the story's author.  There are a few safeguards. First, the storyteller knows the receiver can always choose to put the story down. I can't tell you how many times I've stopped a story (book or movie) halfway through because I didn't want to be left with what was going to come next. I am self-protective that way and glad for the right to be so.

Land has a story. As does sky. And sea. But land, especially, for this is where we make our homes, find our people, raise our children and in many cultures, bury our dead.

Travel changes us, or at least it should. To see others living out a different story from our own, in ways astonishingly foreign to us, is to grow. Lately, there has been a lot of buzz about privilege, and who has it, and who does not. If we have the means to travel, we have privilege. The least we can do is use it well. Where you choose to travel, and when, and with whom, sets the stage. From there, you've got another host of choices....Enter YOUR labyrinth at: BeWhoYouAre.com   Request: I recorded this book for a podcast platform so that you can listen for free.

We hear a lot about self-esteem and self-image. We have entire sections of the bookstore devoted to self-help. We may uproot our lives to go “find ourselves.” Theoretically, our “self” is that part of us that tells us what we believe we are capable of—and not—thus creating a “self-fulfilling prophecy.” Also, the “self-made man” we hear of. But what is the self? I would argue - nothing but a composite of stories added to the predisposition of personality. As a concept, a reflection, even a perspective of consciousness, there is nothing materially real to our “self.” The hard science folks agree—our “self” cannot be found. If we are only a combination of brain synapses creating ideas and images that project themselves into our selves… sounds like a scam, doesn't it...Enter YOUR labyrinth at: BeWhoYouAre.com   Request: I recorded this book for a podcast platform so that you can listen for free.

Once upon a time. Past tense, future tense, present tense. (So tense!) Our stories about the mysteries of life may require us to think in a way that transcends time—but that is also a reference to time. The timeless in opposition to time. Our sense of time moving fast or slow tells us something about how much we are enjoying the string of present moments we are in. We have good times and bad times, boring times, climactic times. It was the best of times. It was the worst of times. It was the okay of times...Enter YOUR labyrinth at: BeWhoYouAre.com   Request: I recorded this book for a podcast platform so that you can listen for free.

When it comes to stories, there is one skill that—with no exaggeration—will make or break our lives. This skill is a choice that shows up every day, in every interaction, and through everything we create. When the choice comes at a particularly important crossroads, it is vital to exercise this skill. But small, everyday choices add up, too. What is it? When in doubt, and especially when it is impossible to know a given truth, choose the best possible story...

Not all stories are created equal. Rather, not all stories hold equal weight in our lives. I have long explained this through the metaphor of a very, very expensive cake. Imagine you have a roommate and you have just moved in together. It's her birthday and you decide to swing by the local grocery and get her a cake. The cost is $6.99 - and maybe 15 minutes of your time. You decide you'll take the chocolate. When you give the cake to her, she says, “Uh, thanks, but I don't like chocolate cake.” You think “rude” and choose to eat the cake yourself. Next birthday, though, no cake. You know her better and are closer, but you remember her last response.

Imagine a box. A story box. Everything in your life fits in this story box, and as time passes, some things fall out, while new things are put in. The new shapes the memories of the old so that a sense of incongruence does not arise. We can travel through our lives with a box that feels cohesive. Carrying this box, we feel like “us” to “ourselves” and not much changes that feeling. We feel like ourselves even if—upon closer examination—there's not much to support that feeling. All goes well with our story-boxed life until something happens that does not fit; does not match who we assume ourselves to be on the surface. At this juncture, we have a decision to make. Will we accept what we cannot understand? Will we investigate further? Or will we say, “Well, that was weird,” and forget about it...Enter YOUR labyrinth at: BeWhoYouAre.com   Request: I recorded this book for a podcast platform so that you can listen for free.

Nowhere are we closer to our deeper stories than in our dreams. I find it fascinating that we use the same word—dream—for both that which we experience when asleep at night and for our more conscious wishes, hopes, plans, and visions. Common between the two types of dreams are the bravery it requires to look closely at them and the intimacy and vulnerability it demands to share them. They are, after all, deeper glimpses into our selves and souls.

We cognitively understand that we live in a world of left and right, up and down, young and old. In short, that everything has its opposite. We are born, we die. We win some, we lose some. Everyone knows this. Few choose to think about it much, at least when things are going well. As I've often said: “Nobody soul searches on a good day.” Rarely do we think about guardian angels coming with menacing devils to thwart us - at least in contemporary society, where we have white-washed evil as a superstition and espouse darkness as a mere lack of education. The traditional Old Ones always gave their fair warnings. We seem to think we are above that need now...

At the end of the day, every compelling story is a yes story or a no story. For a time, you can get away with a maybe story, or a wait and see story, but not for long. Life doesn't stand for it. The half-hearted will always get passed by in favor of the yes-er and the no-er. As a story author, you get to choose to create a protagonist - which is to say the central character of the story living out their yes or no truth - or a victim… someone lost to the story unfolding. Fate, if you will. What you can't create is a couch-sitter who keeps couch sitting. There's no story in that story...

“My goal is that no child will leave my classroom thinking they can't sing. If I have a coworker say, ‘I can't sing,' I'm like, ‘no, no. First, give me 15 minutes and a piano and I will show you that you can. Second, you can't say that because if you say that, then the kids think it's okay to say that.' I'm really fighting all day to prove to them that yes, they can sing, and it's cool, so do it. That foundational skill is just confidence and belief in their instrument.”Bethany Main is a graduate of the University of Missouri-Kansas City's Conservatory of Music and Dance, where she received her Master's and Bachelor's of Music Education.
