Dan French, CEO of ResProp, Managing Director of ATX Acquisitions and longtime partner at Rex continues to believe in the power of communities. He grew up with a strong sense of Service that he learned from his father and that sitting on the sidelines never helped anyone. You've got to lean into action and use the successes & failures to help you make the next decision. After a good run as an elected official, Dan moved his family to Texas where he joined forces with Pete Rex to run their ecosystems of real estate, investment and tech companies. Dan shares that their Team's contrarian thinking is what sets them apart and allows them to gain outsized returns. This thinking doesn't only exist in their investment thesis, but also how they look for the right Teammates. Dan believes it's not just one's extensive experience in real estate that matters, but it's one character (especially during tough times) that determines if someone is going to be a fit. Tough times are as normal as the changing weather and building a Team around strong character and loyalty is the foundation to a strong company. Dan strives to live a life that is “Ever Upward” and as he continues to honor God, his family and Team, he is hopeful that they will stay at the tip of the spear and help the momentum of growth here in Austin.

HIGHLIGHTS Shame (as defined by Brene Brown—A deeply painful feeling of being unworthy of love and belonging Shame—that feeling of “not enoughness” The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz Be Impeccable with your Word: Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the Word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your Word in the direction of truth and love. Don’t Take Anything Personally Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering. Don’t Make Assumptions Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life. Always Do Your Best Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse, and regret. We are in angst when we don’t get curious Six ways we hurl Chandeliering—we stuff and stuff and stuff our feelings until we explode (rage, cry, freak out) at the smallest things Bouncing Hurt—anger, blame and avoiding Stockpiler—we stuff and stuff and stuff—the body keeps score, so they get sick, insomnia, depression, anxiety, stomach pain Numbers—offload the pain by taking anything (perfectionism, sleeping, sex, alcohol, eating, Netflix, food, work) Umbridge—someone who’s not integrated—our light and dark side. Will say I love you and then will say I hate you High Centered—You’ve lived this life a little. You’ve experienced vulnerability, you’re stuck. QUOTES None of us have a life that turned out as we had hoped, dreamed or planned We all have trauma, losses and tragedies; I call this grief We all have shame stories that center from—I’m not enough; I’m not deserving; I’m unworthy Those traumas, losses and tragedies also tell us we’re not enough Most of us didn’t grow up in homes where we were encouraged to get curious about our emotions None of us like to talk about shame, but the less we talk about it, the more we have it, or the more it runs our lives If you’re not learning how vulnerability functions in your life, it’s going to rule your life Healing will never ever take place in disconnection If we are not showing up and living our lives in an authentic and vulnerable way, there is no connection We all yearn to be seen and known and loved What is one thing you can do differently today to be happier and healthier? I am a forever grieving mother, and I choose to see the gifts in everything You are not too much; you’re not too dramatic. You’re just right, and it is that part of you that will help so many people.

Hello Couragemakers and welcome to episode 102 of The Couragemakers Podcast! This week I'm talking to the fabulous Justine Froelker. Justine is an advocate for speaking about shame and learning to thrive when life doesn't turn out how you hoped, dreamed, or even planned that it would.

She enjoys her childfull life by spending time with friends and family, practicing creative self-care, laughing (many times at herself) and building butterfly gardens on her acre of land, which has made her an accidental butterfly farmer. In this week's episode, we dive into Justine's story and why she believes we must stop describing our stories as hard. Justine shares her story, from spending two six months periods in a body cast, her surrogacy and infertility journey and what has led her to doing the work she does today. We dive into why Justine loathes the phrase never give up, the importance of grace-filled permission and compassion and how Justine pours into herself. We also chat about rumbling with shame, choosing to do the hard work and show up and stand in your own sacred truth every day and dropping the armour or perfectionism, people pleasing and care giving. This episode is full of so many practical takeaways and I could honestly listen to this episode on repeat. I loved asking Justine what she loves about herself and what living in raw authenticity means to her and hearing how she will never apologise for her a lot ness. If you're struggling right now, if you struggle to prioritise yourself or you just need a new way to look at your own story, this is the perfect episode for you.

Justine Brooks Froelker is a Licensed Professional Counselor, who has a private practice in St. Louis, Missouri. She is the author of the book and blog, Ever Upward. She is an advocate for breaking the shamed silence surrounding infertility, loss, and recovery. Justine writes for St. Louis Health and Wellness and Huffington Post and makes regular TV appearances on the midday show, Great Day St. Louis. She went through costly infertility treatments and now lives “child-free,” but not by choice. In this episode, you will learn the following: How Justine reacts to the ever-present question, “Well, why don’t you just adopt?” How to apply the grieving process to loss that isn’t commonly acknowledged or understood. How Justine recommends navigating through a journey like hers. How relationships can become “casualties” of the journey and what true empathy is. Why people don’t know how to respond to infertility that doesn’t end with a happy, bouncing baby. Two “Motherhood Myths” that are prevalent in today’s society, and how to respond to them. How unexpected “mothering roles” can bring fulfillment to the nurturing desire, even to the point of raising butterflies-----yes, butterflies! How a “child-free” life can bring a deep sense of meaning and purpose so that you can choose your legacy and impact the lives of others. What Justine refers to as the “complicated gray” of life, where nothing is all-black or all-white. How Justine advises other women who live their lives without children of their own. “YOU are the only one who knows what is right for your family.” Find Justine on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, and at her blog, www.everupward.org.
