"People will forget what you’ve said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” - Maya Angelou

Recently, we were joined by Mollie West Duffy and Liz Fosslien, authors of a new book, Big Feelings: How to Be Okay When Things Are Not Okay.

Today, Mollie joins us to talk about how to cope with despair.

This podcast by Cindy Jacob Southworth, an AACC Certified Relationship Coach and part of the Women World Leaders Leadership team, teaches us about why boundaries are important and the symptoms we may suffer when we don't set and keep boundaries in our relationships. ******** Welcome to Celebrating God's Grace, a Women World Leaders Podcast. I am your host Cindy Jacob Southworth, an AACC certified relationship coach with Breakwater Ministries and part of the Women World Leaders leadership team, and I am coming to you from Cindy's Porch. Today I want to talk to you about why boundaries are so important, but first, let's go to God in prayer. Father God, you are a good good Father. Speak to our hearts today about identifying our gifts and talents and using them in a way that is pleasing to you dear Lord. Help us to overcome the roadblocks that keep us from setting boundaries in our relaitonships. Show us your way today Father, in Jesus' name, Amen.     On my previous podcast I talked about setting and keeping Boundaries in Relationships. I want to continue that conversation today to help you understand why boundaries are so important. I want to help you identify symptoms you may be having because you are not setting and keeping healthy boundaries.   “For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.”  Ephesians 2:10 (NLT)   God will set us on a path according to our gifts and talents. When we know what those gifts and talents are, we don't have to conform to the pressures around us. We can say “No” to the things that aren't utilizing our gifts and talents and say “Yes” to the things that do.   When we have boundary problems, it conflicts with the path God has for us for our gifts and talents. A God-given desire becomes our passion.   “In his grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well. So if God has given you the ability to prophesy, speak out with as much faith as God has given you. If your gift is serving others, serve them well. If you are a teacher, teach well. If your gift is to encourage others, be encouraging. If it is giving, give generously. If God has given you leadership ability, take the responsibility seriously. And if you have a gift for showing kindness to others, do it gladly.”  Romans 12:6-8 (NLT)     Functional Symptoms when Boundaries are not kept (check all that apply):   We will often see the following symptoms in a person who is not utilizing their gifts appropriately or setting boundaries so that they can operate in their gifts:   _____   The inability of someone to complete a goal, or task. I lack follow-through.   _____   Extreme disorganization. Boundaries have to do with internal structure. If I don't have good limits in my life, then I will become very unstructured.   _____   Low energy. This leads to burnout. I'm doing what I'm compelled to do, and not doing what I feel called to do.   _____  Problems of concentration.  An intrusion in my mind – I start to focus, and I just can't stay there. So many things are taking up space on the inside. There's no mental space to work.   Perhaps you are doing too many things; this limits your ability to do a few things well. We have to say “no” to the busy so we can say “yes” to our passions.   “You must each decide in your heart how much to give. And don't give reluctantly or in response to pressure. ‘For God loves a person who gives cheerfully.'”  2 Corinthians 9:7 (NLT)   You have to say “no” to the good things, so you can do the best things.               Clinical Symptoms of Boundary Problems (check all that apply):   _____   Depression. Hope deferred makes the heart sick. _____   A state of loss. We lose a sense of self and we actually feel grief. _____   A feeling of resentment. We experience toxic physical symptoms.       _____   Feelings of rage.  We explode because we feel cornered. _____   Obsessive-compulsive problems. _____   Compulsive behaviors (over-eating, drinking, etc).   “A person without self-control is like a city with broken-down walls.”  Proverbs 25:28 (NLT)   What does a boundary do?   Boundaries keep good things in, and bad things out. Boundaries keep the love of God in and keeps out what people may want to take away from you.   Boundaries help us to withdraw. In some situations, you may be overwhelmed. Boundaries help us to know when something is wrong or evil.   Boundaries function as a protection of freedom. The person who feels controlled by others feels like a slave. They don't make the choices that are right for them for fear of letting someone else down.       What does a boundary look like?   There are different kinds of boundaries.    Personal boundaries. These boundaries focus on your personal space, and physical safety. It includes your preferences for touch, like who gets to hold your hand, or hug you, who gets to be physically intimate with you and how much. It includes how much time we will spend with others vs. with ourselves, taking care of ourselves.   Emotional boundaries. This is your ability to empathize with others without being consumed. It requires us to have boundaries with our time. It's ok to walk in another person's shoes, but we must know when to step out of their shoes. We can't allow their emotional stuff to affect our emotions, so we have to learn how to detach. Also included here are topics that you decide you don't want to talk about regarding your own personal relationships. Some things that are talked about between husband and wife need to remain between husband and wife.   Cognitive boundaries. This is your ability to hold on to your own beliefs and thoughts, without changing them for other people. As Christians, this means that we don't compromise what we know the word of God is telling us about maintaining our principles. Included here are conversational boundaries – we get to decide what topics we will discuss with others and which ones we won't. Hot topics are those that center around religion, politics, and sexuality. It is ok to refrain from topics that you don't feel comfortable talking about.   Environmental boundaries. This is our ability to share our physical space with others. We determine who gets to go into our drawers, use our hairbrush, get something from our purse, or use our cell phone. We decide who we might share our passwords with or have access to our personal information.     ------------------------------------------------------------------ Why is a boundary important?   If you want to accomplish the BIG MISSION in your life, you are going to have to say NO to people.   We need to say NO to protect the stewardship of our time, talents, and resources. People who have good boundaries say NO when they need to say NO. Sometimes we have to say NO to the good so we can say YES to what's best.   “I'm so busy” is heard frequently by those who do not keep boundaries. They are giving themselves away to “empty calorie” people. In the meantime, they are not reaching their personal or professional goals. They often can't define their mission… but they are BUSY.     What are the obstacles that keep us from having boundaries?   The fear of loss of relationship. If I set limits or disappoint you, then I will lose the relationship. “As long as you stay around, I'll never tell you no.”   The fear of conflict. We engage in “conflict avoidance.” We fear their anger. We are people pleasers. We want people to be happy with us, so we choose their happiness over our own. We allow them to guilt-trip us and manipulate us so we don't have to fear their disappointment or rejection.   Guilt is the gift that keeps on giving. We don't set boundaries because we don't want to feel the guilt. “I'm afraid I will damage you if I say no”. “I'll discourage you if I say No.” “If I say no, they will get depressed.”     “A person without self-control is like a city with broken-down walls.”  Proverbs 25:28 (NLT)   The most essential tool that you have is the ability to say Yes and No. Remember that when you are saying YES to something, you are saying NO to something else.  Make sure that you aren't always saying NO to your own personal needs in favor of other people.   People will get disappointed and even angry when you don't do what they want you to do. That's because they have their own agenda. You can't allow their anger to control you.   Boundaries are designed to take care of you. They are designed for you to exercise self-care. When we think of self-care, the first thing that comes to mind is our eating habits and exercise, but self-care is much more than that. Self-care is how you treat yourself. It includes balance in your life, rest, relaxation, and companionship.   Self-care can be really hard, and often we don't exercise healthy self-care until something pushes our limits to the breaking point.  Our inner compass will keep saying NO so we can say YES to ourselves. We just need to listen to our inner compass - The Holy Spirit. We discover that other people can take care of the things that we thought only we could take care of, but there is only one person who can take care of me – and that is me.   Focus on choosing your responsibilities and limit your time. Ask yourself:  Is this really my responsibility? Can someone else do this? Am I about to say Yes to something that the person is fully capable of doing themselves?   Do you do something you love each day? Make a list of the things you love to do, and make sure you are making time to do those things. We all have things that we must do, things we want to do, and then things we love to do. Make sure you keep a balance of the three.   Reach out and build a web of resources.  Find people who will support you.   I would love to hear from you, so drop me an email at Cindysporch@gmail.com   Send me your ideas for relationship advice.   Thank you so much for joining us today—as we celebrate God's grace in our lives, in this ministry, and the world!

One skill set that many doulas express a lack of confidence in is supporting clients with an epidural. Many doula workshops overemphasize how to support an unmedicated birth. As a result, doulas may feel uncertain and often unprepared to support the client who has chosen an epidural. Supporting the client with an epidural is multi-faceted. Many clients and even doulas may assume that a doula's job is done once an epidural is in place. The reality is, that the doula's job has just begun.  Physical support is still necessary when supporting epidurals. Frequent position changes help the baby navigate the changing diameters of the pelvis.  The necessity for emotional support can also increase as clients process their feelings surrounding receiving the epidural. Some may feel only relief. Others may feel guilt or regret. Feelings of failure can also be common.  Come join us as we discuss the ins and outs of supporting our clients who have chosen to receive an epidural.

This isn't therapy -- it's a discussion about foreboding joy.

So often we are raised to believe that there is a "right" way and a "wrong" way to do our lives.  We are taught to be authentic but to not be "too emotional".  We are taught to follow the rules and not color outside of the lines.  But then we become middle aged adults and are told that the only way to succeed is to hustle to point of failure.  It's not surprising that we frequently feel overwhelmed and frustrated with our day-to-day lives.  So often we believe that the answers to how to live our lives are found outside of ourselves. That's why I decided to invite Tamara Becker on the podcast today. Tamara is one of the most grounded and real women I know and in this episode she is getting real with us on how to live an authentic life - according to your OWN rules. Tamara is a Photographer and Marketing Professional turned Herbalist and Energy Worker, a mother and a powerful human. She drops some very impactful truth bombs about being real with yourself and being willing to feel your feelings.  Enjoy ❤️ About Tamara:Having grown up in small town Wainwright, but residing in YYC since the year 2000, I have always beenfascinated by people and the web we weave through shared experiences.With a background in marketing and design, mental health advocacy (@projectnightlightyyc) and fineart, I am fascinated by history, the ‘why'', and by the myriad of reactions to a single stimulus.

She helps families connect through simple and authentic adventures on her podcast (Ordinary Sherpa), Instagram feed, and through speaking and community-building events.  In all seriousness, I wanted to take you behind the scenes to share the development of this book from idea to publication and the addition of a published author as a part of my identity.  It began last year about this time a friend posted on social media, “If you were to write a book, what would the title be and what would it be about?”  I rattled off 3 titles and a sentence description.  The initial description was something like “create everyday adventures and live life on purpose.”  I received a couple comments from friends that said “please write this book”  and that was how it began.   I knew the concept, but I struggled with figuring out what to write. I'm just an ordinary mom.  I didn't really know what people would want to read about or what exactly I would write about.  I knew the topic of adventure parenting was likely the topic but I didn't really have the concept.  Through a series of requests in the Ordinary Sherpa FB group, Everyday Adventure Challenge meet ups, and individuals who would buy me a coffee  I'd meet with listeners who connected with the Ordinary Sherpa mission to help families connect through simple and authentic adventures.   It was through these conversations that I was able to dive deeper into who the book was for and why they were struggling with adventurous parenting.  I came up with 12 different reasons based on our conversations Think it costs a lot of money to adventure Not enough time Perceptions of success and constraints of work Mindset of “what adventure is” “I'm not adventurous” “I'm not outdoorsy” “I live in a city, I can't adventure here” Fear, Adventure is risky, I am a parent and need to be stable Discomfort with uncertainty: Kids who adventure make parents nervous, unsafe Feelings of Joy: immediately followed by guilt, fear of losing the thing that led to joy Society norms of “settling down” you have to choose  Working against marketing and media (influencers, big brands) Activities send family members in different directions (sports, school, work, music, etc)  Need ideas of what to do, don't know how to do it themselves so not comfortable being the leader Tired/exhausted/overwhelmed,  adventure seems hard From here I explored other books in this genre to see what else already existed to support parents with answers to these questions.  I'll be honest, I found a lot related to family travel or an adventurous lifestyle without kids, but not many for family adventures specifically.  I bought or checked out anything remotely related to the concept and read the books throughout the writing process to have a sense of what those books offered and how or if my content would be different.  The entire time I was doing research I also began my writing without any expectation, but thoughts or stories that I would think of while reading or listening to other stories.   I organized the questions or reasons why parents struggle to adventure into core themes which later became the three parts of the book.   Part 1: Live Deeply focuses on the adventure mindset and the foundations of adventure as a value proposition to a fulfilling life.  Part 2: Explore Bravely begins to put all the limiting beliefs and perceptions of safe and stable lifestyle into question.  I share research, walk through exercises as a guide to work through the process, and offer my own stories of adventure and parenting to offer context throughout the book as a guide to work through the process.   Part 3: Play Wildly are examples of actionable steps to make adventure more accessible.  It is my belief that if we can build a life where everyday adventures create the foundation for a thriving life.  Even if we choose to travel to see new places and new people, we have the foundation of adventure built into our ethos so we are not continually using vacation as an escape.   With the key themes established, the challenges readers face I began the writing process. I will say the first chapter was the hardest to write and the one that required the most edits.  I went into the writing process with the idea that I didn't have to have it figured out, I was just going to sit down and write.  I had heard that an average non-fiction business book is 40,000-60,000 words.  So I turned on the word count and sat down regularly to write.  I celebrated word count milestones by sharing a story in instagram or having a mini party of 1.   I realized I wanted data, scientific evidence and sources to back up or validate my experiences.  This is just part of who I am.  I personally appreciate when a book is more than stories.  When I had a question or wanted to look into something I would use parentheses to indicate I wanted to come back to an idea.  This allowed me to write without the question to derail my progress.  For example:  I knew there was neuroscience data behind the power of pause, to create space but I needed to dive deeper into what was the source and was that relevant to the topics we were leading.  I knew there was child development data around risky play; I knew there was a conditioning process to dampen our curiosity.  These were concepts, but I made sure to come back to these topics and dig into the research. I proofread my manuscript twice before I sent it to my editor.  There is a point when you get sick of your own writing.  After sending it to the editor I was a little burned out and took a break from it.  In fact, even after it was returned to me I didn't look at my manuscript for almost a month.  I did start to garner interest along the way.  I invited friends and listeners to be members of the advanced reader team to pre-read the book.  In late January after almost 6 weeks of not looking at my manuscript I sat down and binged a few weekends through the edits.  I began to share bits and pieces of the book with my advanced reader team.  In mid-March I shared the entire manuscript with my advanced reader team and received an abundance of feedback.  I took 2 weeks sifting through comments, edits and questions.  I viewed each piece of feedback as a detailed gift they shared with me.   Throughout the writing and editing process there were many times when my progress was stalled by my own limiting belief and desire for perfection.  I would compare myself to established authors.  However reading comments from listeners, or friends asking about the book helped push me through.  In mid-March I made a detailed list of all the things I needed to do to get the book into the world.  The list included Finalize the title Create Cover design Write the back of the book description Determine which Amazon categories to publish under Reach out for endorsements Write my acknowledgements page Complete internal formatting Get an ISBN number Design the graphics for inside the book Set up Amazon KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing) Create the sales page on my website Establish a book marketing plan Write an Amazon Book Review Tutorial After another round of scrubbing I sent the manuscript and some detailed market research to my designer and publishing assistant.  In full transparency, the book releases in 6 days and a few items on that list are still not crossed off.  This entire process has felt like a daring adventure.  While I have always been intrigued in writing a book, I didn't really have a dream or vision of being a published author.  There is something special about the first and while I have given myself permission to update if need be I can be happy with the product I am sharing with the world and that it reflect the season of life we are in while hopefully encouraging and supporting other parents on this adventurous journey.   I thought I'd end this episode by sharing some of the endorsements and feedback from advanced readers.  “I love that you offer a glimpse of an alternative and adventurous parenting path. I think this concept is missing from many of the books I've read about nature parenting, minimalist parenting and Scandinavian parenting philosophies.  So many of our peers feel like they lose themselves when they become parents and your book shows how rich life can indeed be. Your concept of "a window closing" also resonated with me.“ – Tracy Phillippi  “Great content and experiential examples from your personal life. As you told your story I got pulled into the big moments you share with us as readers. What an overcomer you are. You have used the trials and triumphs in each stage of life to build on, and add to, the qualities that make you no Ordinary Sherpa.” – Perry Gabbard “It's so easy to get bogged down in the day-to-day grind of life with kids that you lose sight of what it feels like to be adventurous and genuinely have fun. Heidi Dusek's wonderful field guide on designing an extraordinary life does the remarkable: it brings this life within reach and gives you practical ways to build a little more fun and adventure into your family's life.” – Brad Barrett, cohost and cofounder of the ChooseFI podcast “Through vulnerability, insightful questions, and actionable steps, Heidi shares practical wisdom to generate adventure and joy for your family and most of all, for you. With clarity, honesty, and humor, she brings the reader so many gifts at once using stories from her life and learnings by experience. You won't wonder how to integrate the many unwrapped lessons into your own life, but rather enthusiastically try to figure out how many you might take on! And best of all, the path will be uniquely yours as it was for her and fueled with intention and courage. A must-read for anyone looking for permission to thrive and a foundational guide to getting there.” — Laurie E. Oswald, CEO of InteraWorks and founder of The Best Year Yet Foundation If you would like to support me  through this you can purchase, download the free ebook (limited time), or request a copy of the book Beyond Normal for your local library.  All of the steps to do these things will be included in the show notes on the website.   Key Takeaways Writing a book is a shared experience that was shaped through many interactions with listeners, followers and friends.   The content of the book was based on questions from the Ordinary Sherpa community.  I strongly encourage you to reach out to me with any questions or challenges you are facing in the world of family adventures.  While I'm not the expert I have been fortunate that the sherpas in this community have many insights to share.   While the content of the book will likely support anyone seeking an adventurous lifestyle, I wanted to give special focus to parents to question the narratives we hear about being adventurous with kids.   The energy flow from jubilation to burn out was experienced throughout writing the book.  Part of the benefit of self-publishing my first book was that I could establish my own timeline and be curious about the process.   Authors share years of experience for the value price of $15.  The book culminates key takeaways from this podcast, lessons from the Everyday Adventure Challenge and many other experiences into one easy to digest location.  While you probably could find this content by scouring the internet or binging every episode the book is nicely compiled all in one place.  The ROI on your time for someone interested in an adventurous lifestyle may be worth the investment.   If you head to my website  Ordinarysherpa.com (beginning May 17th) you can purchase, download the free ebook (for limited time), or request a copy of the book Beyond Normal for your local library.  AND leave a written book review on Amazon.  Much like written reviews for podcast it offers new readers or listeners social proof of the contents value.  

Going to be a little new, going to be a little odd but WDKW is back for the foreseeable future. The twist, the podcast will also be posted on YouTube! Right now, that is sort of TBD on what that means. The audio version will still be a complete experience, so there is no reason to worry there. Expect the format to be a bit influx either way. We talk about some folks from the early-to-mid aughts of PWG leaving their current promotions, wrestling journalism giving us the hard-hitting content, and what might be needed for a third major promotion.
