“I can't change what has happened to me…but I can use it to help somebody else.” Today's guest, Ike Miller, is an author and pastor who shares his experience of the impacts of growing up with a parent with an addiction to alcohol. As he unpacks his story, we discover the beauty of God's redemption, using our hurts and struggles for His glory. Now, Ike encourages others through his book, Good Baggage, to discover the same redemption. Quotes Once we share our lives with people…it actually makes people aware of that pain so they can come to our care. I can't change what has happened to me…but I can use it to help somebody else. There's a lot of fear behind the idea of acknowledging I don't have control. There are things that happen to us because of others' sin, but that is not beyond God's ability to do something good with it.

Is there such a thing as Good Baggage? For today's episode Heather sits down with Ike Miller and discusses the baggage that we experience in our past that sometimes impacts our present and future. But, is it possible that seeing our parents' parent, or do marriage, or live out their faith, can reveal to us how we can do things differently? Ike believes that his upbringing is what gave him a passion to pursue a different path for himself. What if some baggage can be good? On today's social toolkit, Heather discusses Elyse Meyers and her apparent social media break after being targeted by Operation Watermelon. Operation Watermelon is where a group of internet users target a single creator and try to take over their platform by commenting en masse on the tragedy impacting the middle east between Israel and Palestine. Elyse Meyers shutdown her Tik Tok with over 7 million followers and many users suspect it is because she was targeted by this peer pressure tactic. Should influencers make statements on cultural issues? Heather discusses her thoughts on this and adds a tool to your social toolkit.

Pastor Ike Miller unpacks his upbringing that included hurt sustained from the abuse of an alcoholic father.  In his new book, "Good Baggage: How Your Difficult Childhood Prepared You for Healthy Relationships," he outlines how his childhood baggage was used to the betterment of his current relationships with others, now as an adult.  With the guidance of his heavenly Father, the support from loving community, a heavy dose of brokenness and a determination to learn healthier ways of thinking and living, Pastor Ike can now share to us his real-life story of Romans 8:28.   His book "Good Baggage" reads like a handbook that can be applied and implemented by all readers, but especially those with similar childhood baggage.  On this episodeIke Miller / Instagram / Book / ChurchLynne Stroy, host / InstagramJoey Svendsen, host / InstagramJack Hoey III, host / InstagramAmy Worley, host / Instagram Stay ConnectedWebsite | Facebook Discussion Page I YouTubeExecutive Producer: Josh SurrattProducer/Editor: Joey SvendsenSound Engineer/Editor: JT PriceSound Engineer: Katelyn VandiverMusic, including theme song: Joel T.

Ike Miller (PhD, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School) leads Bright City Church in Durham, North Carolina.  He has written about the intersection of theology, mental health, and family of origin issues in outlets such as Christianity Today and Missio Alliance.  Ike Miller grew up in a dysfunctional home, and the trauma of his past continued to affect his relationships as an adult. But through a process of healing and understanding, Ike learned to let go of the negative habits and mindsets he developed as a child while leveraging his experience to pursue healthy relationships. After confronting the impact of his own childhood, including a family history of substance use disorders, Ike has developed a passion for helping others who grew up in difficult circumstances to better understand how those environments continue to impact them and their relationships now. Good Baggage: How Your Difficult Childhood Prepared You for Healthy Relationships is Ike's practical guide for navigating that journey. Drawing on scriptural wisdom, psychology and personal experience, Ike helps us understand how our traumatic childhood continues to affect us in ways we may not even realize.

Today we're celebrating seven – yes seven! – years of producing this podcast and want to take a quick second to thank YOU for being a part of the show, reaching out, listening, and giving us the motivation to keep producing new shows. We are excited to welcome on Ike Miller, a pastor who helped start Bright City Church along with his wife, Sharon, back in 2018. Ike has written about the intersection of theology, mental health, and family of origin issues. He's developed a passion for helping others who grew up in difficult circumstances after confronting his own family history of substance abuse disorders. He's a great friend to our family and we wanted to bring him on to share this message about understanding how difficult childhoods prepare us for healthy relationships, which he writes about in his new book Good Baggage. We don't hold back when it comes to childhood trauma, how we can move forward, and why everything doesn't necessarily happen for a reason. 6:29 – Ike 101 Celebrating five years at the church on Sept 30 What fueled the book How the pandemic brought a lot to the surface 15:31 –  Defining Co-Dependency Differentiating the definition from symptoms Trauma related loss of self Plays out in different types of situations 17:55 –  Sorting through your baggage Learning to identify and disarm our baggage Ability to read emotions Figuring out what context to use that 25:45 – Improving theology to provide support Creating space in our theology for the impact of trauma Building a theology around redemption Being okay with people angry at God 38:17 – Parenting Recognizing when you're screwing up Asking for forgiveness Realizing our parents are people with lives of their own 58:48 – Good Baggage Reflect on your pain points Dig up that pain an deal with it Connecting with Ike FEATURED QUOTES “We typically think of codependency as people pleasing, but really, it's fundamentally about a loss of self. That, in that context, whatever we went through, in some trauma, it forced us to be someone other than ourselves in order to survive, in order to appease someone else to protect ourselves mentally, emotionally, or physically. And so you just kind of become whoever you think others need you to be because you've lost your sense of self of who you are.” “We need to create more space in the church just for being able to say that not all sin is just strictly about my sheer disobedience to God, but that as a broken human being, I'm acting out of that because of brokenness that was done to me.” “I think that's kind of a bit of it for me is that ability to say, I don't know that I can explain all of why it happened, but where do I want to go from here? What kind of life do I want from here?” Learn more about Bright City Church: https://brightcitychurch.com/ Get Ike's Book Good Baggage: https://www.amazon.com/Good-Baggage-Difficult-Childhood-Relationships/dp/1540902862

Oftentimes, we talk about the BAD baggage of broken relationships rather than the GOOD baggage. Listen to Pastor Ike discuss motivations and specific ways in which our good baggage can prepare us for healthy relationships.

We all come to our relationships with the experiences that happened in our past, and also the things that have happened to our spouse. Maybe we see how those situations affect us and our marriage or perhaps we are unaware. Today Ike and I are talking about the baggage we bring to relationships. Not as a way to berate ourselves or our partner, but to lean into the tools our past has given to us, and heal from the places that that are causing continued cycles of struggle.

UPDATE: I actually decided to come back from podcast retirement after 2 months! Very unexpected. I talk about it in episode #49, so visit that episode. But I'm still keeping this up because the energy of the message and discussion on uncertainty is still great.   In this episode I talk about why I'm ending the You Are Remarkable podcast and where you can still find me on the internet! That's right, I'll still be sharing my weekly blogs and newsletter, as well as being open for 1:1 coaching.   In the episode I cover -Why it's okay to not have 100% certainty when stepping away (and what having 100% certainty in my life has looked like before I let go of something. Hint: it wasn't pretty) -Why letting go of this podcast is me fully trusting my writing - which is my true passion -I invite you to see in life where you are holding onto things -Whether or not I'll be taking down the podcast (I say I'm 97% sure, but it's still up in the air!)   Podcast I referenced: Letting Go (released June 29, 2019) by Dr. Patricia Bay of the ‘Therapy in a Nutshell' podcast   How we can still stay connected!   - Visit my site for blogs, 1:1 coaching, newsletter subscription, and more: www.jocellynharvey.com   - The Good Baggage process, Crystal Co-Pilots, and other free offerings! https://www.jocellynharvey.com/free-resources-library   - Did you know I wrote a decluttering guide for sober women?

Coaching is all about positive, forward thinking and upbeat energy, right? Mostly! But it doesn't mean coaches should shy away from life's various realities when working with their clients, and I certainly don't. That is why recognizing and naming your dislikes is an important part of the goal-setting process.    In this week's episode I share what can happen when you force yourself to do things you dislike, as well as provide journal prompts to help you along the way.

Exciting news! Starting in April of this year I'm opening up my books for 1:1 Success and Life Coaching with women. There's links below for my Coaching 101 page where I demystify the coaching experience and a 1:1 page where I talk about my current coaching offering, but in the episode I keep it simple and touch on one aspect of the coaching journey that I want more people to know: it's that coaching is actually a gentle experience.   So often people are very hard on themselves when they do self-guided work, and then they think working with someone 1:1 is going to be an even more intense version of that.   Instead, I'm here to share how coaching with me is all about encouragement, uplifting energy, and being kind to yourself. And even if you aren't ready to take the 1:1 coaching step, you can still bring those gentle, compassionate vibes into the self-guided work you do!   I don't read the blog in this week's episode, but you can check it out here: https://www.jocellynharvey.com/blog/life-coaching-gentle-growth Let's Connect! - Visit my site for blogs, 1:1 coaching, newsletter subscription, and more: www.jocellynharvey.com   - The Good Baggage process, Crystal Co-Pilots, and other free offerings! https://www.jocellynharvey.com/free-resources-library   - Did you know I wrote a decluttering guide for sober women?

In today's episode I share how decluttering key areas of your life can help you achieve your goals by clearing away the distractions, the overwhelm, and the mess (even if it's not a tangible mess!)   I talk about the benefits of decluttering your computer, calendar, finances, and decluttering your personal development! For a personal story, I share the amazing “deep sigh” I felt when I decluttered my old journals from courses, webinars, and inner healing work.

Summary: Today I'm sharing a new concept: energetic perfectionism! What is it? Do you experience it?   Basically, energetic perfectionism encourages you to believe that your mindset and energetic awareness must be perfect at all times in order to move forward in life, trust yourself, and feel good. It's a spiritual way for you to hold yourself back in life from satisfaction and success.   Along with sharing the blog, I also address societal reasons why women tend to be more susceptible to perfectionism so that you can be gentle with yourself as you unpack the habit. This is definitely a juicy episode you won't want to miss, and be sure to share it with your girlfriends who could (lovingly) use the reminder!

Summary: In January of 2021 I made the decision to fully delete my Instagram account, and I did so in the beginning of February! It's been a few weeks, but life without Instagram feels pretty, darn good. In this episode I talk about two major reasons why I left Instagram - light anxiety and racial discomfort - as well as how I feel about my career, creativity, free time, and more now that I'm not on the platform.   In my transition away from deleting my Instagram account, so many women spoke up and shared that they wished they could do the same. If you've been struggling with your relationship with the platform, I hope this podcast (and blog) helps you see you're not alone. It might even convince you that it's 100% okay, valid, and very cool to quit Instagram.

Empowering and uplifting personal growth is about enhancing who you already are, but so often the focus is on fixing and removing every detail you don't like about yourself. Sure, we all have a few traits that we could do without, but in this week's episode I share my blog post where I strongly encourage you to move away from the idea that how you seem to do everything is wrong. And how in doing that you leave space to focus on areas that light you up rather than drag you down.    Read the blog: https://www.jocellynharvey.com/blog/stop-thinking-you-are-wrong   Take it further with my Empowering Your Shadow masterclass: https://www.jocellynharvey.com/empowering-your-shadow-masterclass Journal prompts from the episode! -What is something I do that I consistently try to fix or change with “no luck”?   -Is this way of doing things actually harming myself or others?   -How has trying to fix this made me feel?   -How can I work with this way of being rather than against it?   -How can I know when I'm leaning into this way of being in an unhelpful way so that can I reroute to a healthier place?   -Is there a more affirming, uplifting or empowering phrase/word I can use when I describe this way of being?
