Today my 9 year old daughter, Lila, is joining me on the podcast to chat about how I talk to my kids about alcohol, why I quit drinking and what she thinks about her mom being a sober coach (and a podcaster!)  A lot of women in early sobriety wonder how to discuss their drinking or not drinking with their kids, and of course every family is different. But since I get asked this question a lot I decided to ask my daughter to chat with me about it. ​As we talk you'll hear from Lila that she… ​ ✅ Knows that mom used to drink a lot and stopped and that dad still drinks a bit and both are OK ✅ Is aware that when mom was drinking she woke up at 3am and was anxious and sometimes it made her throw up because alcohol is poison to your body ✅ Understands that alcohol is addictive and how that works (using a metaphor that makes sense to her) ✅ Knows that sober milestones are a big deal and a “Soberversary” is something to celebrate ✅ Thinks it's cool that I help women stop drinking ​Lila also shares that she thinks I can seriously up my TikTok and YouTube game, her take on the patriarchy, women getting paid less than men, Taylor Swift, diet culture + a whole lot more.

We're back, baby. “It's OK to not be OK” Is it, though? ಠ╭╮ಠ

The fall brings with it new challenges, and with those, new anxieties. You might be feeling overwhelmed with what is going on politically, or with your work or family or racial injustice. You are not alone. This is hard. And you need a plan.

Divorce has become commonplace in our culture, but it seems that it was also commonplace when Jesus walked among us some 2,000 years ago. What did/does Jesus think about divorce? Is it a sin? Is it OK? Is it ever allowed? Pastor Chuck Keller will help us understand better exactly what Jesus taught about the subject of divorce in this teaching from Matthew. Matthew 19:1-12 Release May 17, 2020

Do you sometimes get down on yourself? Can you be your own worst enemy? Well, you are not alone. In today’s session, we describe one of the ‘T’s’ in our ETA tool: tenderness. Tenderness, or loving kindness, is a very powerful and transformative practice that we have used with Olympic athletes and ‘hard -nosed’ individuals in places like the US Navy, Wall Street, and with NFL and NBA teams. This seemingly ‘soft’ practice can have very hard and powerful results. We'd love to hear from you: here's a link to our listener survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/CDVG53J.

In today’s session, JP describes what it means to choose acceptance, a critical part of the ETA strategy. Acceptance - rather than being a passive approach to the challenging situations we face - is, instead, an active and wise path to meeting our Last 8% situations. In today's episode, JP shared this Rumi poem: The Guest House This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes As an unexpected visitor. Welcome and entertain them all! Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows, who violently sweep your house empty of its furniture, still treat each guest honorably. He may be clearing you out for some new delight. The dark thought, the shame, the malice, meet them at the door laughing and invite them in. Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond. — Jalaluddin Rumi If you liked today’s session, review us on Apple podcasts!

Most believe we feel emotions - but that isn't the case. The brain and the body both don't feel emotions; they only receive two specific inputs. In this podcast, JP will discuss how the brain 'makes' emotions and what that means for our ability to control and manage them.

What do you do when you feel overwhelmed? When it feels like your very foundations are moving beneath you? In today’s session, JP describes ETA, a powerful strategy for when we feel hooked by strong emotions -- such as those many are experiencing due to the Covid-19 pandemic. ETA is a tool that you'll want to practice until it becomes second nature and is ready to be deployed when you feel most challenged.

To be our best when we face Last 8% situations requires a transformation, requires us to change if we are going to meet these challenges. But change is never easy.We cannot just will ourselves to change our behavior. We need to anchor it in a deeper core belief about who we are. Why? Because it very difficult to do things that are out of alignment with how we see ourselves and who we believe we are. We can be easily thrown off when we are trying to do or try something new, when we are attempting to transform ourselves.The key to transforming ourselves is creating a new identity first. To change our behavior for good, we need to see ourselves differently, we need to start believing new things about ourselves, During today’s podcast we are going to craft an imperfect Identity Statement that we will use within our Last 8% Morning routine. We are going to revisit this statement many times and, in fact, this repetition might drive you a little crazy. But it is important that we do this because it will allow us to burn new neuropathways into our brain.These neuropathways and this identity statement will anchor us and enable us to be more confident, less stressed and less sensitive to the Voice in Our Head (VOH) as we face our most challenging Last 8% situations.Join us on Facebook in the Last 8% Project, a community offering resources and support in this challenging time, linked here https://www.facebook.com/groups/thelast8project.

Is in OK? Is grace a license to sin?  Let's talk about it.

“Is it OK?” Is the Wrong Question

Have you ever been tempted to give up on your dreams because it just seems like your dreams have died and been buried never to be seen again? Have you ever been soooo sad you didn't know what to do or how to hang on? Have you ever wondered how life can go from being so happy to so drastically difficult so fast? Is this OK? Is it normal? And what should we do when it happens? The good news is, the Bible tells us that those who sow in sadness will harvest in happy. Something very positive is going on that you probably don't or can't see, much like a seed planted in the ground. The truth is, what you think is dying and being buried is actually being planted and growing. If you're going or have ever gone through a sad spot, you'll want to listen to this encouraging episode. Find out what to do and how to think when life goes from happy to sad. When and where dreams seem to die. www.StevoHays.com Facebook.com/StevoHays PayPal.me/StevoHays

Overview- Don't Dishonor, Nor Despise, But Represent. 1 Tim 6:1-2. In our sermon today we study Paul’s words to Timothy as to how Christians who were either purchased slaves (so someone’s property), or willful servants (same as people today who have jobs with companies) were to behave towards their bosses or owners who were either Christians or unbelievers. Paul references that Christians of his time had slaves. Are Christians supposed to own slaves? Does Paul say here that slavery is OK? Is a Christian supposed to treat an unbelieving boss different than a believing boss? I cover all these questions and much more in my sermon titled “Don't dishonor, nor despise, but represent”. May God richly bless you as you seek Him Pastor Ed
