Holy Guacamole, Dear Listener! We've been through the ringer this week, but at least we're back in action with a jaunty episode filled with homegrown shock and awe. Missy and Amy take to the sand to set Margate straight after the renters evacuate. And the world slows just a bit to gawk at unruly mothers and shocking behaviors on Netflix. We cap it all off with a rousing round of LISTENER FEEDBACK you won't want to miss. 

When you first take the Strengths Finder quiz, we often feel like those skills and talents are what you can use to guide and influence others, however if we forget to take time for ourselves, to turn our talents inward and focus on ourselves, we are failing ourselves by not acknowledging what we bring to the table.   In today's episode Sarah Elkins and Lindsey Van Gorp discuss the importance of introspection, fostering and growing our strengths, as well as how we need to wield our talents and skills in order to be the best version of ourselves, not just for others but for ourselves so that we may feel fulfilled in our lives.    Highlights Have you ever done anything out of character for the sake of someone else? Are you direct in your communication or do you soften the edges of your words? Recognizing the innate strengths in everyone and how that builds community when you're aware of it. Do you use your talents solely for those around you or are you using them more introspectively to best show up for yourself? Quotes “Clear is kind, I think that's a thing I'm trying to learn and use more effectively. Because you're right, I have these strengths that make me a happy, sometimes soft person when it comes to my communication, and I'm learning to remind myself that it's actually far more kind to the person I'm communicating with if I am direct and clear in my communication instead of softening the edges of what I'm trying to get at.” “Once you're aware of it, you see it everywhere.” “I think mine is a combination of all of mine, I looked at the strengths as how they impact others; Like how does this show up for everyone around me? And I had spent less time thinking about how do they show up for myself? And even just that mindset shift of it's not always about how you can influence or impact those around you through them, but how am I using them towards myself?”   Dear Listeners it is now your turn, Even without using a tool or assessment like Strengths Finder, what questions can you ask people around you, the ones you clearly think differently from, what questions can you ask to get to the heart of why they do what they do and how they do it. Because when you can understand the language, you don't need to change who you are but you do need to learn a little bit of how to speak it.  And, as always, thank you for listening.    About Lindsey Lindsey Van Gorp is the Brand Experience Manager at Vermeer Heartland, focusing her time and attention on enhancing the employee and customer experience.

Dear Listeners,Here you have RLR 189 where we coverBELIEVERS WARNED - UPGRADED SUPERHUMANS - FORBIDDEN KNOWLEDGE - THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFEThank you for all your support.God bless you.Alexander +1 305 450 8550 

396 Curiosity and Authenticity   It is in human nature to be curious, to ask questions, and seek out insight in an attempt to make sense of the world we are thrust into. It is when we craft our own personal board of directors do we get the opportunity to finally seek the answers we crave and in doing so find our own purpose. In today's episode Sarah Elkins and Cole Mannix discuss how curiosity led them to find their authentic selves as well as the many paths their hunger for answers took them on.    Highlights Curiosity and the questions it makes us ask often shape how we grow, even if we don't see where it's taking us at first. Drawing in voices from all over can lead to new perspectives and new questions as well as answers. Although our path can change throughout life, our mission will always remain the same.    Quotes “What you serve really matters.” “What can I give my life to? What is worth the limited time, y'know we all have a limited time, and life no matter what, no matter how rich it is will involve plenty of suffering, and if you decide what's suffering for and what's worth giving yourself over to, sometimes it's multiple things.” “How does the way we do business together allow for flourishing or not.”   Dear Listeners it is now your turn, What have you been thinking about during this conversation, did anything in particular remind you of something that happened that helped you understand your purpose, your mission, where you can serve. I'd be really curious to hear if something came up for you, if you've developed any kind of clarity around what you want to do next to contribute, to bring your version of reciprocity to your environment and your community. I'd love to hear from you.  And, as always, thank you for listening.    About Cole Cole is part of an extended family that has ranched together since 1882 near Helmville, MT.

Dear Listeners,Welcome to Sura 32 – As-Sajdah (The Prostration/ Bowing Down in worship) This surah calls us to bow in humility before our Creator, reminding us that life itself is a gift — health, family, love, and every blessing we enjoy. It teaches us that gratitude is not only felt in the heart but lived through action, and that every deed, seen or unseen, is counted and will be returned in full on the Day of Judgment.In our daily lives, we can live the spirit of As-Sajdah by pausing to be thankful, by bowing our hearts in prayer, and by turning each act of kindness into worship. In every moment of gratitude, we draw closer to Allah.Have a Blessed Day

In this debut episode of Dear Listeners, I reconnect with my beloved Radio Family from Solla Marandha Kadhai! ❤️ Together, we share the songs that hold special memories of our favorite people. Every melody has a story, and every lyric is filled with emotion.

Dear Listeners,Thank you for the privilege of sharing RLR 188 where we discuss:The Singularity - A New Religion - The Last Man in a Bottle - Their Eyes Were Opened - Technological ImmortalityThank you for your valuable support. Sincerely,AJA

Feeling pretty smug, are we Dear Listener? Well, shame me not for my 65,000 inbox emails. I'm too busy doing the Lord's work to open your "please subscribe to my blog" email. And by busy, I of course mean chasing wolf spiders, playing Fishdom, and arguing over the proper use of the Oxford comma (see what I did there?). From Victorian fish forks to Cutwater canned vodka to vaginal spelunking, we skewer it all this week. Join us on a perilous romp through all the shocking foibles befalling modern society today. And yea, I kinda did say it. 

395 Carpe Diem    It's easy to think we have all the time in the world to do something we're putting off. Whether it's changing jobs, or finishing your novel, or finally folding the laundry, we always think we'll have more time. However time is a finite resource, and one day it too will run out. So we carry with us reminders of that which matters most to us and in doing so we remind ourselves to seize the day and to not take time for granted. In today's episode Sarah Elkins and George Schunk discuss their own collections of sentimental items, their own art they have dedicated themselves to, as well as how important it is to act on an opportunity instead of waiting for the perfect time.    Highlights What are you holding on to that means a great deal to you? What is something you read or wrote that you still think about? Are you doing something because you want to? Is the story you tell about it fair to the other people involved in it? Those stories matter, and not just to you. Don't wait for the perfect time to do something. Make it the perfect time and do it anyway. What are the themes of your stories that everyone can relate to, even if the words for those themes have changed?   Quotes “Before I started to write about my life, I started to wonder; was I fair to the women that I loved?” “What did you start with and what did you end with?” “When something came up that I wanted to do, I went and did it.” “When you're unemployed, when you're taking those gap years, or let's say you have a good job and you're moving up from your corner office, everything is looking good whether it's public service or private. But if for any reason you get the wild hair that there's a wild, larger world out there and you need that, and you go on a mid-life walk about -I did this when I was 45, for 2 years-  The benefits of something like that are enormous.”   Dear Listeners it is now your turn, First, I highly recommend Michael Easter's book, The Comfort Crisis, and in the future I promise to update you when George's book is finally released. Who knows when that will be but I'm sure it will be well worth the wait. And now I'm going to ask you the hard question; What is something that you want to accomplish? What is something that you want to do in your life that you haven't yet done? That you can take a step today, tomorrow, the next day, toward that idea that you've been thinking about for years. Don't wait, we're not guaranteed tomorrow. Make sure that people in your life know that those relationships are meaningful. Tell them, and take that step. And, as always, thank you for listening.    Mentioned in this podcast  Chip Clawson The Comfort Crisis   About George Born into the privilege of good education and stable family life, got educated on my own, nine-years post-secondary. Lots of gap years along the way. I managed to change some laws for the better, access to public lands, closing mines significant to Native populations, managing timber sustainably, etc. I worked for President Clinton, Pew Charitable Trusts and Ecotrust, a green think tank in Portland. Now I snowboard half the year at the Great Divide and explore the country of Colombia. I have finished the first draft of a memoir that I want to edit and publish.

Dear Listener, Lacy shows Lark and Ralph her magical healing processes through the medium of tattooing. Refusing to partake in the healing process, Sully instead works on planning their next excursion, perhaps as a means to occupy his mind as the following morning he speaks to his niece for the first time in a decade, but why doesn't she want to speak to him? I guess you're about to find out. Leaving home is never easy, but after reading and learning about you all, it seems that it's sometimes harder to return. And in the world I'm obeserving, walking away (or in this situation, pushed away) often means you never see them again. I wonder if Sully ever considered that he'd never see his younglings again when he left.

394 The Driver of Innovation is Curiosity   Curiosity is in our nature as human beings, we crave knowledge and the answers to the how's and why's. Whether it be from a scientific standpoint, raising a child, or to work more cohesively with our coworkers, we must always stay curious so that we can always be growing.  In this episode Sarah Elkins and Jeff Ikler discuss not just their vital work, but how they have maintained healthy relationships, and a positive mental state by always staying curious.    Highlights Avoiding the after conference hangover by having a support team to further your ideas and goals. Taking something you deem important and holding onto it while using it as the foundation for something meaningful to be built. You can't please everyone, so cast a smaller net, tend to your audience. How are you furthering yourself either with academic education or social education? Walk away with at least one idea, even if you need to come up with it yourself or seek it out. Be intentional about what you choose to remember. Let people get comfortable and feel safe before taking a risk. What do you carry that reminds you of those who have shaped you?   Quotes “I have to narrow it down to what's one really good thing I can remember about this? Otherwise, for me, it can become overwhelming.” “If you stand for everything, you stand for nothing,” “Shoot with a rifle, not with a shotgun.” “Glaciers move faster than changes in education.” “The driver of innovation is curiosity.” Dear Listeners it is now your turn, Sarah: going to have Jeff ask you a few questions but first I'm going to ask you a couple questions. When you think about the stories that you tell, do they demonstrate your curiosity? Do they demonstrate your motivation or your ambition to learn and to grow as a human being? What is one story that you can point to that you can craft and develop, that is three minutes or shorter, that you know people will understand what matters to you and how you lead. I'd love to hear from you. Jeff, what are your conclusions for our listeners? Jeff: So what I'm curious about is what came up for people as you and I were talking, because my hope, because this is like when we're talking about the reflection part of the podcast, I want people to be wanting to walk away with something.  So what's the take away? What's something that impacted you as Sarah and I were talking about how we go about doing our work, how we're thinking about our work, and how it impacts on the work you're doing.      And, as always, thank you for listening.   Mentioned in this podcast Lisa Weiss, The Object Diaries Neil Hughes Podcast, LinkedIn   About Jeff Jeff Ikler is Director of Quetico Career and Leadership Coaching, a firm dedicated to helping individuals overcome career issues and develop sustained changes in their leadership practices and organizations.

393 Being Direct and Intentional in Conversations   It can be far too easy to let yourself be passive in conversations, whether it be to let another person make a decision or to avoid conflict. However in doing so we rob ourselves and others of deep meaningful connection, which is why it is so important to be direct and intentional with your words. In today's episode Sarah Elkins talks about these points while also bringing up times in her life where she was passive and direct in conversation, and why it is so important to her to be direct and intentional.   Highlights Be direct and honest with your words, don't leave room for doubt or miscommunication.  Don't leave a conversation completely up to one person. Communication goes both ways. Being intentional in conversation, as well as understanding and compassionate.   Quotes “I realized a lot of miscommunication and unintended injury happens when we're passive in our language.” “I also remembered a few people from my past who were especially difficult, insulting, and actually cruel in their communication with me. I thought about how I interacted with them – things I could have handled differently - for the purpose of learning, not regret, and thoughts about”   Dear Listeners it is now your turn, I encourage you to listen to last week's short episode and then try using a less passive voice in your communication. What will you do differently so you can move past injury and grow into better, safer, more satisfying relationships? And, as always, thank you for listening.  About Sarah "Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and actively demonstrate their character, values, and vision."

Beach houses, human teeth collections and circular diahhrea. Just another day in paradise, Dear Listener, and per usual we're here for it. We cover the passing of Ozzy Ozbourne, animal cremains and the long list of people's names Amy has no chance of remembering. Sprinkle in a bit of homespun wisdom, potty humor and lighthearted feminist manifesto and you've got yourself a show, folks.

End disclaimer.*Just got rejected from an artists' residency? Well, this is the mini-episode for you because I am going to let you in on a little technique I use to feel better.

Once again, Melissa goes out of her way to make Amy look bad by allowing Amy's mic to record and broadcast the exact things she says with her own mouth. Amy learns (refutes?) the lies behind the rules our parents told us as children. Missy learns how many songs make other people think of her. And we both discuss the C-suite homewreckers caught canoodling in pubic in front of then entire world (without their consent). Ahh, me. It's a rollick this week, Dear Listener. Promise. 

390 Good Service Goes Both Ways Anyone who has ever worked in customer service has at some point or another dealt with that one customer. You know the type, the huffy, irritable, “My issues are more important than your wellbeing and rules” that insist and demand everything, while demeaning you in the process. Unfortunately, these people will always exist, however what we can change is how we allow these types of interactions to affect us.  In today's episode Sarah Elkins tells the story of one of her own unruly customer moments, as well as how she chose to learn and grow from the experience in order to teach others.    Highlights Respect others. Especially those who are in a position of community service. Carrying your work home with you is not healthy for you. When you are rude and nasty to people, no one will be in your corner.    Quotes “But then it hit me, I should write a book about customer service. The point would be that good service goes both ways. If you want good customer service try being a good customer first.” “Because it's easier to provide good customer service when you are looking at it from the perspective of the customer.”   Dear Listeners it is now your turn, Can you think of a time when you weren't the best customer? When whatever was going on in your life erupted into a situation and you treated someone badly? Did you apologize? Can you think of a time when you had exceptional service? Did you tell the person or their manager? Did you write a rave review? What made the experience memorable?  We need kindness around us. You know the old saying that people are fighting battles we know nothing about. And when you're frustrated with a situation it's rarely the fault of the employee in front of you. And most of the time they can't fix it without engaging their supervisor. So start with kindness and develop an advocate for yourself. Let's do our best to bring our best to others.   And, as always, thank you for listening.  About Sarah "Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and actively demonstrate their character, values, and vision." In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home.

Time to take yer teets out somewhere salty. The summer is closing, Dear Listener, and as we al know, it can only last as long as it can last.

Plus, Melissa shares an uplifting tale of solidarity and love courtesy of a Houston Yoga studio (creepy and rapey edition).

389 Identifying and Acting On Problems You Can Solve   We are surrounded by problems everyday of our lives, some manageable and others seeming too monumental to handle alone. Which is why it is so important to build a community of like minded individuals with the same goal of making a true difference.  In today's episode Sarah Elkins and Tessa Clarke discuss the relationship people have with stuff, food waste, and how Tessa's company Olio have been making a real difference in the face of the climate crisis.     Highlights Our relationship with objects, like clothing, that shape our identity.  What do you waste without realizing? How much do you think you throw away in a week? A month? And a year? We all need someone in our corner to help build us up and to help chart a path forward. Building community while also solving problems. Quit wishing things would be better and start making the change yourself.   Quotes “We always think the grass is greener on the other side but it never is.” “What's good for the planet is good for people and vice versa.” “It is honestly exhausting being a founder, trying to drive the change in a world that's set up not to change. So you've got to find ways to reenergize yourself and to keep going, to keep fighting every single day.” Dear Listeners it is now your turn, When you think about those 4 to 5 years that Tessa talked about and that journey of wanting to be entrepreneurial and thinking about it in terms of “what is the problem I can solve?” What is something you could start today, maybe it eventually becomes a side hustle, maybe the side hustle stays a side hustle, or maybe it turns into something more. What is a problem that you've experienced, that maybe you're the person to solve?    And, as always, thank you for listening.    About Tessa Tessa Clarke is the co-founder and CEO of Olio, the world's only neighbour-to-neighbour food-sharing app, and a trailblazing force in the fight against waste. Since launching in 2015 - and as a remote first business - Olio has grown into a global movement with 8 million users, redistributing over 100 million meals and 14 million household items, proving that small actions can drive massive change. Recognised as Veuve Clicquot's Bold Woman of the Year in 2023, Tessa is also a Sifted columnist, an Ambassador for the Better Business Act, and a member of the Small Business Growth Forum, advising the UK Government on SME concerns.

388 Changing Dynamics   Growth is something that cannot easily be stopped. Whether it be the weeds in a garden, or the inquisitive mind of a child, growth in all is something that should be encouraged and nurtured, even if it's by our own hands, so that we can become the people we know we can be. Someone better than who we were yesterday. In today's episode, Sarah Elkins and Carlos Joaquin discuss the importance of Curiosity, Growth, Unity, and the Dynamics in not just the work place but in the home life, and how incredibly important it is to encourage those around you and to be the leader your peers need you to be.    Highlights Curiosity and how it makes people with power uncomfortable and people in need of strength, powerful. Moving on, even when it's hard, because that's what is best for you.  Standing together, especially when faced with strife, is the strongest thing you can do. Comparison is the enemy of growth and unity. Creating a safe environment to express something and not be dismissed or treated differently, so everyone can be apart of the discussion. Growing, and helping others grow, through finding Your community.   Quotes “We decided we're not going to be a part of this anymore, and we're going to say goodbye, and we did, and it was hard, but I think we found strength in each other, and we were united.”  “Psychological safety is a key factor of any learning and development. And if you can't have that then, there's always this lingering or this resistance or this inability to even share or to connect.”  “You focus on that person and you find out, what do they care about, how can I help them get a little bit of that into their lives? Because it's more than numbers, it's more than metrics, it's caring about this person and this person will deliver those numbers, this person will deliver those metrics.” Dear Listeners it is now your turn, What is something that happened in your life, early in your life, that you can now attach to your values? That you can look back, maybe at the time you didn't see it, but you can look back now and see it as a pivotal moment that made you who you are right now. And how can you reframe the story? So that, like Carlos does, you find those silver lining moments, that you understand intuitively and innately, that you can do better. And, as always, thank you for listening.    About Carlos (from his website) I work with small businesses, founders, and teams to improve communication, leadership, and customer experience. Whether it's a one-on-one coaching session, a team workshop, or consulting on systems, I help people move from scattered to strategic — with heart. Check out Carlos's LinkedIn and Instagram!

386 Media Literacy and Division    In the age of the internet it is impossibly easy for us to see something shocking and outrageous, ending up with us emotionally and morally outraged. We want to speak up, to make our voices heard in the sea of noise if only for a moment. However, it is easy for us to make a mistake on who we follow or share posts from, it is very easy to be fooled by a wolf in sheep's clothing, which is why it is vital to stop, take a moment to do some basic research, and make our own informed decision. In today's episode, Sarah Elkin's has a solo show dedicated to her thoughts on media literacy, the division that has been amplified by social media, and how important it is that we not only do our own fact checking, but that we also convey our thoughts and stories with intention in order to accurately portray what we believe.   Highlights Sharing the right stories with intention, that are compelling and true.  What are you doing in your daily life that does more harm than good? How do you engage with the people and world around you? You never really know who is listening to you, whether it is our phones and social media, or the people around us.    Quotes “You don't have to tell people who you are or what matters to you. They come to those conclusions through the stories they hear.” “But if I'm too busy to check the source, maybe I shouldn't have shared it at all. Everything we do has consequences and if we don't consider the ‘what happens next?' question, we damage relationships, our reputations, and miss incredible opportunities. We contribute to the noise of division.”   Dear Listeners it is now your turn, I challenge you, to either stop scrolling, I know it's hard. Or take inventory for a few days as you participate. Are your emotions like a rollercoaster as you scroll, feeling really good when you see something you agree with and getting angry, discouraged, or judgey when you see something you don't? Before you hit that like button ask yourself what your intention is when engaging. Are you sure what you're sharing is true? If you're sharing someone else's story, is this a stranger? Are you trusting their opinion over somebody in a similar situation who might be your neighbor or someone in your community? Ask yourself what exactly you're signaling to people by engaging on the post, are you putting something out there that is insulting to people you care about? I am so discouraged and disgusted by the division and polarization, and if you are too, then stop contributing to it.  And, as always, thank you for listening.

385 Beacons of Fellowship   In a world so full of division, strife, and polarization, it can be easy to get caught up in the chaos of which path to follow. Which is why it is vital to put your own voice out there, not just to speak up for your beliefs, but so that those who you support and care for will know you are right beside them in this fight. In a world so obsessed with hate, there is no more powerful weapon than love and community.  In today's episode, Sarah Elkins uses the art of storytelling to tell us what truly matters to her while also weaving tales of her success and strengths, as well as speaking of what truly matters to her.    Highlights Applying skills found in the workplace to the home, and vice versa. Standing for what you believe will make enemies, but it will also give others the strength to follow you.  How do you want to show up in the world? How can you make your signals be in alignment with your beliefs.    Quotes “Every story we share has the potential to shape how we experience ourselves, and how other people perceive us.”  “Through a combination of curiosity and intention, I started to build a community that was far more diverse. Not for the sake of diversity, but for the sake of inclusion, personal growth, and love.” Dear Listeners it is now your turn, If you're willing to look in the mirror and really consider how you want to be experienced by the community around you, what will you do to ensure that you are signaling those values in everything you do? What decision will you make today to stop contributing to the polarization and start reconnecting with those you care about? And, as always, thank you for listening.    About Sarah "Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and actively demonstrate their character, values, and vision."

The pull of gravity has reached our jowels, Dear Listener, and the only one coming to save us is Corporate Thor. Good thing little girls are here to annoy the fugg out of us on an airplane.

Lord knows we could use a break fomr that job. 

383 Your True Enemy Is Self-Doubt   Our internal messages shape who we are, whether they be positive or negative messages, shape who we are and how we carry ourselves through life, which is why it is so vital to stop and reflect on our messages and the input from those around us. We can learn alot from our personal board of directors, they encourage and guide us with their own personal experiences allowing us to grow, including when their input is critical.  In today's episode Sarah Elkins dwells on the importance of the words her own personal board has given her, the experiences that she has grown from, and how her professional and personal life have been shaped and allowed her to become the coaching powerhouse she is today.   Highlights Professional Storytelling Building each other up by practicing what we teach. How our friends inspire us. What experiences in your past contributed to your internal messages?   Quotes “Every professional benefits when they can share a story that demonstrates their character, their skills, and their vision.” “I can no longer allow distant periods of discomfort and whatever caused them, reign over who I am.” “I was acutely self conscious about my outfit, my voice, even my facial expressions and the way my body, arms, and hands moved as I sang. It has taken me years to let go of my fear of embarrassment, my fear of judgement. I really hope it doesn't take you nearly as long. Or if you're my age or older, that you're learning this lesson now so you don't bring regret into your later years.”       Dear Listeners it is now your turn, If you have something in your head that you really want to do, I urge you to take action right away. As May West said; “I only regret the things I didn't do.” Here are a few steps that I take when I'm working on something that feels new and maybe a little scary: I tell my closest friends what I want to do knowing they're going to ask how they can help and they'll keep me accountable. They'll ask me the hard questions to make sure I stay clear about what I'm doing and why. I use a strategy my friend and business coach Nettie Owens taught me. I schedule 15 minutes every weekday to focus on that one thing, it's on my calendar. Those 15 minute focus times show up at different parts of my day, not the same time every day. I'm very intentional with what I do with advice, criticism, and ideas I hear from others, especially if they've never done what I'm trying to do. I listen because sometimes a comment, even one that feels insulting, hurtful, or maybe even wrong, can be a catalyst toward improvement and success. Whatever it is you're challenging yourself with my friends, I would love to hear about it, and to support you as you're leaping out of your comfort zone.       And, as always, thank you for listening.    Mentioned In This Episode Nikki Campbell Nettie Owens Jeff Ikler About Sarah "Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and actively demonstrate their character, values, and vision."

382 Images of Ourselves    It's a sad fact of life that we internalize narratives that are made for us at an early age, we are told we are too emotional, that we're too bossy, that we're too big, and if we do not actively try to reframe or unlearn these narratives made for us, we are forced to live out a story someone else made up for us. It is our duty to reach out and take the power back for ourselves, to wield the pen as a mighty sword, and write our own narrative for the sake of our growth and inner peace.  In today's episode Sarah Elkins and Lindsey A. Lee, discuss the importance of becoming the person you want to be, showing up for yourself and those you love, and how vital it is for our growth as human beings to sit with the narratives we have about ourselves and decide for ourselves if these narratives are our own genuine thoughts and beliefs or if they were a planted idea.   Highlights Is the person you became, the person you wanted to be or the person you needed to be to survive? How do you show up for the people who need you? What stories and perceptions from others are you still holding onto?   Quotes “My greatest performance was pretending to be okay.” “There was emotion in my home, it just didn't look like mine. It looked like yelling, fighting, and shutdowns.”   Dear Listeners it is now your turn, The thing that I want to ask you, you remember every time at the end of these conversations I'm asking you to consider something for yourselves. My dear friend Netty Owens asked me one time: What is the object in your image of yourself that you would like to hold on to? And I talked about the Hanukkiah, the Jewish candelabra that we use for Hanukkah. And there's one candle that's separated from the rest, so there are 9 holders, 8 for the 8 nights of Hanukkah, and the one is the leader candle or the Shamash. That candle is the one we light first, we say the first prayer and then we light all the other candles with that candle. And I like to think of myself as a Shamash, someone who knows that by lighting other candles I am in no way diminishing my own light and that when we light other candles we bring more light. And for that brief moment when we connect like Lindsey and I did, for two and a half minutes our flames were together which made that an entwined hyper bright flame, even for that one moment, and it changes the energy and dynamic in a room. Guaranteed. So I am asking you listeners, what is your image of yourself? Just like Lindsey wants to be radiant and exudes that radiance when she owns that language, what will be yours? And, as always, thank you for listening.    Mentioned in This Episode The Four Agreements   About Lindsay Lindsay is a wellness mentor, educator, and founder of Honeydew U—a lifestyle platform helping women embrace authenticity, align with purpose, and heal through spiritual growth.

Dear Listener, The witches of Gumpendorf prove most helpful: with respect to the light magic that they do know, and the knowledge of whom might be able to help them with the more eldritch, weirder kind of magic. With Lacy and Araminthia providing them two people with whom to potentially ask more questions of, I wonder if Sully will get this way about who they will go see? I guess you're about to find out. They say in your world that every villain has a story; that they're the hero in their own stories. I wonder if that's true. I wonder if those working for The Sickle know they're actively harming the Cradle. I know those that I call at least have choices, and I rarely ask them to do much at all. At least I think I do. Perhaps where I think I am one of the heroes, you're in fact partaking of this story with the mind set that I am like my kin: an eldritch horror. I guess I'M about to find out. Thank you to Karin for voicing Lacy and Sarah for voicing Araminthia.

Dear Listener,In this episode of the podcast, I push my comfort zone by recording in a public park in a new city I've never been to. Despite having a soft voice, I press publish anyway. I also talk about not letting travel throw me off my center by staying on top of my foundational practices, such as meditation, food habits, and creative expression, and how home is somewhere you can bring with you wherever you go.Hope you enjoy my shy rambles

280 Breaking Cycles   We are hardwired to remember the stories that are far more painful and life altering, than the happier stories we lived. Perhaps it is our survival instincts or it is just easier to remember the bad, regardless it is important to sit back and truly think about how we frame our narratives using these experiences and decide for ourselves that this story is one we want to change. In todays episode, Sarah Elkins and Erin Weninger discuss the cycles both of them have lived as women, business owners, and parents, and the difficulty that came with acknowledging and changing the destructive patterns in our lives     Highlights You can do what is best for you, you only need to find the courage to reach out.  Everyone's narrative is different, but you need to know personally when that narrative is false and harmful to you.  What lengths will you go to in order to defend your narrative? Is it really a narrative worth defending? Be adult enough to acknowledge when you fail, apologize, work towards being better, and take accountability. It's not the end of the world to admit when you are in the wrong.   Quotes “I really needed that second falling out with my mom to have that feeling of; “Wow she really will go to extreme extents for self preservation at the expense of anybody else she might care about and love.”.” “It doesn't have to be an atom bomb to me just because I accept fault.”   Dear Listeners it is now your turn, You've already been asked a few questions. Think about how you're modeling the behavior you want to see in the people around you. If you're a parent, what are your relationship issues with your parents that may be contributing to relationship challenges with your children? Are you taking time to look at those patterns and maybe be honest with your kids about what you're experiencing as a parent. And last but not least, I would love to hear your thoughts on Erin's story, and how and why she should share it. If you believe that her words can be inspiring to others, I would love to hear from you. And, as always, thank you for listening.    About Erin (I will be sharing) My life story, as I am a 41 year old woman who spent roughly 37 years of my life thinking my dad had sexually abused me and it wasn't until 1 year ago I had confirmation he hadn't. Be sure to check out Erin's LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram!    About Sarah "Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and actively demonstrate their character, values, and vision." In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home. The audiobook, Your Stories Don't Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available! Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana. Be sure to check out the Storytelling For Professionals Course as well to make sure you nail that next interview!
