Day 17:  Welcoming Christ in Others It is part of God’s plan for us that Christ shall come to us in everyone; it is in their particular role that we must learn to know him. He may come as a little child, making enormous demands, giving enormous consolation. He may come as a stranger, so ...

In this episode, I delve into the isolating experience of losing a child and explore ways to build a strong support network to aid in the healing process. I have shared 5 practical tips to communicate your needs, set boundaries, and connect with those who can genuinely support you. Grief often leads to feelings of isolation, even when surrounded by others. It is crucial to recognize and address these feelings to promote healing and emotional well-being. 5 Practical Tips for Communicating Needs and Setting Boundaries 1.       Use “I” Statements: Express your feelings and needs without sounding critical. 2.       Be Clear and Direct: Communicate your needs straightforwardly. 3.       Set Specific Boundaries: Define clear boundaries for managing your grief. 4.       Ask for Help When Needed: Do not hesitate to ask for specific forms of support. 5.       Adjust Boundaries as Needed: Revisit and adjust your boundaries as your grief journey evolves. Building a Support Network Connect with Others: It is beneficial to connect with those who have experienced similar losses and those who listen with compassion. Support Network Mapping: Create a visual map of your support network by drawing three concentric circles. Place people who you can rely on any time in the inner circle and others in the outer circles based on their level of support. Identify Gaps: Identify any gaps in your support network and think about ways to strengthen your connections or seek out new support avenues. Aim to have 3-4 people in your inner circle. Your support network will change as you and your grief journey evolve, and that is okay. Expect changes in your relationships, with some people staying close and others distancing themselves. If your inner circle feels empty or insufficient, reach out for support. If you are unsure how to communicate your needs or set boundaries, I am here to guide you through this challenging time.

Matthew Adams here, taking you through Day Two of our Advent journey. In this season of waiting and reflection, we're exploring what it means to be spiritual warriors attuned to God's voice. Advent isn't just about the birth of Christ; it's about the light He brings into our lives, guiding us through the darkest valleys.Scripture:"The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world.” (John 1:9)These words from John 1:9 aren't just poetic; they're a beacon in our often tumultuous journey, reminding us that no matter the darkness around us, Christ's light is ever-present, guiding and revealing.As spiritual warriors, our task is to not only seek this light but also to become conduits of it. In a world that often feels overshadowed by uncertainty and strife, the Advent season calls us to focus on the true light – a light that isn't overcome by any darkness.My Reasons To Believe is a reader-supported publication.

This Advent, let's seek that light in our daily lives – in scripture, in prayer, and in the faces of those we encounter.* Reflecting the Light to Others: It's one thing to find the light; it's another to reflect it. As spiritual warriors, we're called to be mirrors of Christ's love and compassion. This means reaching out to those in need, offering words of hope, and being vessels of peace and understanding.* Guarding Against the Shadows: The journey isn't always easy. There will be moments when the light seems dim, when our faith wavers. It's in these times that we must stand firm, remember the promise of John 1:9, and trust that the true light is always with us, even when it's not immediately visible.ConclusionAs we continue through Advent, let's embrace our role as spiritual warriors of the light. In a world that can often be dark and cold, let's be the warmth and brightness of Christ's love and hope.Call to ActionThis week, I challenge you to find one way each day to reflect Christ's light to someone else.

God Wants You to Be Thankful 1 Thessalonians 5:16–22 ; Ephesians 5:3–4 ; Ephesians 5:18–20 “Giving someone else thanks is not a given on Thanksgiving,” said McConnell. “But four times as many people give thanks to family or God than choose to thank themselves.” A quarter of those aged 18 to 34 (24%) and 19% of 35- to 49-year-olds say they thank themselves on Thanksgiving, compared to 9% of those aged 50 to 64 and 6% of Americans 65 and older. Why is being Thankful such a big deal? 2 Timothy 3:2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Romans 1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; Ingratitude is a sign of a lost heart and a backslidden Christian. Un-thankfulness is a sign of the pagan generation. Why is being Thankful so difficult? Circumstances Comparisons Complaining Consumerism Callousness of Others (It is) Contrary to Our Spirit The same voice that praises God for His provision and blessing should be the same voice that trusts God when he doesn't have so much that it will ruin him. 1. Manner of Giving Thanks Not “For” Everything “In” Everything 2. Method of Giving Thanks eucharisteo – often translated praise – it is done via the mouth – praise offering Attitude Action Thanks Smile Song Countenance Notes 3. Motive for Giving Thanks Will of God Plan of God to be Saved Sanctified Spirit-Controlled Suffering Saying Thanks Don't Worry, Want, or Waste, Be Thankful Practice Daily the Discipline of Gratitude Purpose to Pray about the things that worry You Thankfulness says I trust God in my circumstances – Romans 8:28.

 What does belonging mean to you?As a definition, it's an affinity for a place or a situation. It can be a feeling that you can be yourself that you're loved welcomed. That you'd be missed if you were away.  It's also a feeling of security and support we feel when there a sense of acceptance, inclusion, and identity for a member of a certain group. It is when an individual can bring their authentic self to the table and feel like themselves. Ladies Like Us was created as a  place where feel that sense of belonging.But here's the thing,,, belonging is a two way street and an inside job. How?Otherhood, or childless not by choice individuals often feel uninvited to the table by society at large. But more often than not, it's the internal "otherness" we are bringing into the room that makes us feel "other",  rather than the majority actually pointing at us and telling us we are other. There are plenty of groups you don't want to belong to. When you aren't invited to these groups, you literally don't give an F. Why? It holds no heat for you because the values of that group don't matter to you. Others--It makes total sense to get triggered by this and have belonging become a difficult subject... But it doesn't have to stay that way. The biggest shift you can experience, is to become clear on where and when you feel a sense of belonging. And bring that back to yourself. How are you creating belonging inside yourself? What is the sense of belonging you can take with you anywhere? You can literally create the experience of belonging. Learn a quick exercise to bring you back to yourself. Coming back to yourself helps unhook you from outside influences which are constantly fluctuating and distorting you from your true belonging and wholeness. You belong. You are whole. You are perfect, just as you are. XOXOLinda

Feeling discouraged is totally normal, but many of us don't know how to move forward from those feelings & not let these emotions hold us in a pit of despair. Today I want to talk about what we can do about feeling discouraged & how normal this is.Show Notes:I feel discouraged all the time. I'm not kidding. It can eat me up sometimes, too, because I let it affect me too much & be too important in the moment, meaning nothing else matters & I'm now in a bad mood. And it's heavy, you know? It feels like a heavy burden that brings sadness & this feeling of being stuck in life. I don't like it.But being discouraged is something we all suffer from, some more than others because we let it affect us deeper & more often. But still another universal problem. And a problem & experience I find interesting because once you feel discouraged about one thing, it is so easy to pile on even more things to be discouraged about. It's apparently our negativity bias pushing us to really lean into the negative things happening around us & only acknowledge those things. I can also see this as being blinded by the bad things we experience. It's easy to do & hard to pull away from.We allow ourselves to be discouraged because it's easier than pulling ourselves up & understanding that not everything is going to happen on our timeline or the way we want it to. We get discouraged because we have put certain rules in place in our lives of what it means to be happy, accomplished, successful, fulfilled, worthy, loved, ect. This is the issue. We get wrapped up in being in control of our lives so much that we don't allow room for error or just life to be life & surprise us & take us on the unknown journey. We are kind of setting ourselves up for failure this way because if we determine what set of circumstances need to happen for us to feel accomplished or happy & those things don't happen, then we feel discouraged. Or if we feel like we did everything right but still didn't get the job or keep the boyfriend or girlfriend or get chosen to do something amazing, then we feel discouraged. The danger of playing by these rules is also that we may never realize we are successful or on the right path because we are so distracted by feeling down about not meeting our own unrealistic expectations. And if you didn't know these were unrealistic, now you do.Today I want to share with you 5 ways to get through feeling discouraged so you don't get stuck in that loop of sadness & chasing unrealistic expectations:Be Careful with Your ExpectationsRemember Your Goal & Be Re-EmpoweredStop Comparing Yourself to Others It's Not Always About the Prize at the End Find Someone Else You Can Help Hopefully these tips will be helpful to you when dealing with feeling discouraged & down on yourself.Thank you again for listening & I hope this episode was helpful.Come visit me on my Instagram page @sabrinajoyperozzo to say hi or on Clubhouse @sabrinajperozzo to chat!Visit www.sabrinajoy.com for more content & blog posts!Have any questions, comments or feedback?  Send me an email at realpositivegirlpodcast@gmail.com!Support the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/sabrinajoy)

Contrary to conventional wisdom, a legacy isn’t what’s written in your obituary. It’s what you create every day. And with a dark pandemic driving 51% of us to think more about our mortality, it’s high time we started today. Join CJ McClanahan on Success 2.0 as Alan Weiss, PhD, identifies how to create your legacy – today. What We Discuss in this Episode: Life is not about a search for meaning, it’s creating meaning. It’s not a search that has a destination, it’s happening organically every day. Creating meaning entails identifying why the world is different because you lived in it. Have you led a trusting life, have you planted a garden, have you impacted someone in your circle? The last 30 years have created enormous pressure to compare to ourselves to others. Further, instead of becoming more knowledgeable, we’ve just gotten louder. In focusing on the needs of others, you help yourself. When you teach others, you learn more than they do. The act of helping others builds you as a person. Celebrate when you identify that you’re drowning in stress and information. Isolate the sources that are the most valid to help you become the person you want to be. Whether you’re an optimist or a pessimist will determine how your life plays out that day. We must train our brains to move toward the positive end of the spectrum more frequently. Part of being alive and finding meaning is being in touch with the physical world around you. We don’t focus on the simple, because we’ve convinced ourselves that the simple can’t be true. Mentioned in the Podcast: Email CJ McClanahan for the offering mentioned in the podcast.

Comparing your weight loss to someone else’s is a good way to create overgeneralizations in your head and actually stall your weight loss. When you find your happy plan, your healthy weight, and only focus on yourself, it won’t matter what number’s on the scale. All that matters is how you feel on the journey.   Key Takeaways: The 3 Keys to Weight Loss Commitment Sustainability Self-love and compassion   The Chief Complaint: “I Don’t Lose Weight as Fast as Others” It’s so easy to compare yourself to other women when you’re trying to lose weight. Some body types lose weight faster than others, and of course, there are also conditions and hormone imbalances that can cause you to hold onto weight easier than others. Weight loss shouldn’t be about comparison, but about how YOU feel.   Comparison and Over-generalization Steal Your Joy When we start comparing our weight loss to someone else, we’re likely falling into a concerned emotional state. Concerned about our own health and why we can’t have the easy weight loss that others seem to have. And of course, then our thoughts turn to overgeneralizations for ourselves. Because obviously since you had difficulty losing weight once, you’ll have the same struggle every single time you try. Overgeneralizations are thought distortions we need to break free of. What happens if you break free of these thoughts and start to, instead of focusing on the number on the scale, just enjoy the journey you’re on? Finding a way to eat that’s happy for you and a movement routine that feels good? So what I want you to do is find out what your body type is and see how you can create a healthy routine that best supports it. Your body type can help you figure out the best way to lose weight in a healthy way for YOU.   Make Smaller, Sustainable Goals Once you find something that makes you feel good to you, it’ll be so much easier to sustain. I wouldn’t say you should start off going hard for an hour’s workout at a time, but find something you can start for 10 minutes. I guarantee that if you’re enjoying the workout, you’ll want to continue moving your body. Setting this smaller goal makes your workout absolutely more manageable for you. And when you feel that something is more manageable, it’ll be more sustainable. See how when we build onto our routines, we create lasting success? I would also love you to recreate what success means to you. I urge you to find a 10 lb weight range that feels good to you in all ways - this will help you become a more intuitive eater.   Homework for Women Physicians How can you be the best version of yourself? What is the next first step you can take? Let me know in the comments on the episode page.   In This Episode  What actions we take when we feel concerned about our weight [3:00] Why we tend to overgeneralize experiences and thoughts [7:00] What happens when you start enjoying the journey to weight loss [9:00] Why you need to know what your body type is [11:00] What happens when you find a routine that’s sustainable for you [16:00] Why you should start setting smaller goals [21:00] How finding your 10 lb range will help you become an intuitive eater [25:00]   Quotes “Overgeneralization is actually a thought distortion. Basically what it does is that we have an experience in our lives and we draw a conclusion from it and any other experience that happens in our life again, that’s similar to that, we already believe we know the outcome because we’ve overgeneralized it.” [6:43] “The actions you’re taking are going to have more to do with your ability to lose weight than the actual makeup of your body.” [7:37] “We started off with a complaint of comparing ourselves to others in terms of how we can lose weight, but really what we’re breaking down here is what do you really want and what are you willing to do to get what you want and can you do it long term?” [19:15] “You are perfect just as you are today. I don’t care if you have a little tummy. I don’t care if your thighs rub together. I don’t care if you keep trying on the same darn skinny jeans hoping that they fit just a little bit differently. You are perfect just as you are. You are worth it.” [27:29]   Resources Mentioned Check out the full episode page here Join the Waitlist for G.O.A.L.S Society Find Life Coaching for Women Physicians Online Follow Dr. Ali Novitsky on Facebook | Instagram  Subscribe to Life Coaching for Women Physicians on Apple Podcasts Podcast production by the team at Counterweight Creative   Related Episodes Episode 4: "No Matter What I Do, I Cannot Achieve a Normal BMI" Episode 10: "I Suffer From Constant All-Or-None Thinking..."

This holiday season is unlike any other for most of us. In this episode, I try something a little different, share a little more of myself, and share strategies for navigating loneliness through these holidays. I share stories from listeners who are trying something new this holiday season to stay connected and I share a advice from experts across the landscape of psychology, philosophy and wellbeing. A few highlights include: - Gratitude Practice: The regular (daily or more) expression of gratitude, through a journal, app, or other means is one of the most researched and demonstrated ways to find happiness in difficult times. There is always something to be thankful for – your health, enough to eat, people that love you, or maybe just the warmth of the sun. - Reach Out & Connection: Reaching out to others through letter writing, zoom calls, virtual art party, a pie on your neighbors’ door, or just the old fashioned phone call can be great ways to give and receive connection. - Giving to Others: It is hard to believe but volunteering or giving gifts to others is demonstrated to lead to more long-term happiness then treating ourselves. - Feel the Feelings: Allow yourself to be sad and to feel the loss of this time, and help create space for other people to be sad and know that they are loved and supported. There are so many more ways to connect. I would love to hear from you, how you’re navigating this time. This is my last episode of the season, and I can say without a doubt hearing from listeners like you these past few months has been one of the greatest gifts. I have loved to hear what resonates, what you want to hear more of, and what these stories have meant to you all. Thank you sincerely for sharing your time and your stories with me. I always want to hear them. I am planning for next season and would love to hear from you! Look forward to talking with you all in the new year!

Show NotesPersonal Brand and Advocating for Yourself-It's a necessity to define your brand in today's world. Take the time to write your mission statement, biography, and determine your core values so that you're ready to advocate for yourself when opportunities arise and can recognize when they aren't a good fit.-Blaire encourages women to jump on opportunities for which they may not meet all the criteria. As long as it is something you're passionate about and willing to learn more about, you have the tools to land the job.Culture Fit-Organizations often use the term “culture fit” to describe what they are looking for in potential candidates, but this is a code for finding people with similar backgrounds as current employees. They don't usually see a woman or woman of color fitting into this mold that they've had the advantage of creating.-Instead, they should be thinking about what potential candidates will add to the culture, how they will challenge the team, and how they will innovate or disrupt the status quo.-We have a moral obligation to think beyond ourselves and put effort into implementing diversity into retainment and leadership, not just recruitment.Finding a Healthy Culture-Once Blaire determined who she was and what she valued, she had a much easier time detecting what was a good fit for her and what wasn't.Being a Trailblazer-As a Black person, decide to take responsibility and create a safe space for other Black people to come in so that the weight doesn't fall entirely on your shoulders. You're not the token, you're the chosen, and it's up to you to make that change.-As a White ally, understand that diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging all matter when it comes to bringing underrepresented groups into spaces that they've been kept out of. Prompt discussions about what will change in terms of recruitment, retention, and promotion of people of color in your organization.Empathy-If you have done something that has made a person of color feel uncomfortable, do not get defensive or deny their experience. It takes courage to voice discomfort. Instead, take a moment to evaluate and analyze your behavior and empathize with them.Advocating for Others-It's the current trend for White men to be promoted by other White men. If you're a White person that has been tapped to become the next executive, advocate for the qualified people of color in your organization that are being overlooked. Earn the promotion by knowing that you've gone up against the best people in your organization.Tough Conversations-Blaire's an optimist by nature and believes we're heading in the right direction, but realizes now more than ever that it is not White folk's responsibility to take care of Black people. It is White folk's responsibility to have tough and uncomfortable conversations about privilege and white supremacy amongst themselves.Resources-Sales Enablement: A Master Framework to Engage, Equip, and Empower a World-Class Sales Force by Byron Matthews and Tamara Schenk -The Memo: What Women of Color Need to Know to Secure a Seat at the Table by Minda HartsConnect with Blaire-LinkedIn-Instagram-WebsiteSend in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/othersideofsales/messageSupport this podcast: https://anchor.fm/othersideofsales/support

Session 06 What happens when you leave a comfortable school that fits you and feels like home, and transition to a large school where the premed culture is toxic? Meanwhile, check all our other podcasts on MedEd Media Network for more premed resources! [01:20] Caller of the Week: "I am premed, who studied at a community college. English is my second language and being in community college felt like home. There was not many premeds, no competition, cutthroat, or any of struggles that we go through for going to big university like where I am right now. At community college, I then struggled with comparing myself with others. I have a couple of premed friends. We always work together, help each other, and it felt like home. Right now, I transferred to a university and it's one of the biggest universities in the U.S. I started my first semester, this semester on campus. And it's been a great self-transition. As a Junior premed, there were many students compared to my community college. One of the biggest struggles is studying with other premeds and hearing them discussing their scores on exams, who got A and did not study as much, or those students who ask questions at lecturers and like, "I don't even know what you're talking about." It's been very tough. I know everyone struggles with different things but being surrounded by students who always get As, not really struggling, or at least, not showing that they're struggling. I spend hours on studying and trying to understand what's going on, especially as Englis is my second language. Sometimes, it's just hard to memorize a bunch of stuff in English. And sometimes, they need double the time that regular students who have been here and English is their first language, being easier on them but not me. I guess, I'm just trying to not compare myself to others. But being in this environment, it's much harder. Today, after my exams, I decided not to stick around and just go to my car. I didn't want to talk to anyone, neither before or after the exam. I didn't want to hear students saying I got an A's, I did not study. Oh this test was easy or that I wasn't ready. I didn't want to compare myself to them because I have my own struggles. I'm trying to overcome them. So I guess it's the premed world. Many people just say yeah, it's easy. But it's not really easy, especially if you're jumping from community college to a university. And it's a totally different environment. Almost everyone in my class is a premed. I know some of my classmates are struggling like me, while others find it easy. I don't know what else to do other than just walk away from those people or try to focus on me, my self-care, and trying to do my best. Because I know, probably the hours I'm spending learning this information, I'm actually learning for the long-term, not only for the test. And learning, from each struggle, something. Whether it's like how to study for a test or I should not leave all this stuff for the night before the test, or just learning from those trials and improving myself, while other people are not really learning from their struggle. I guess that's what's going on today." "Thank you so much for providing this collaborative environment. I listened to the first episode and it helped me a lot because I always feel stressed out and many of my family and friends are not really understanding what's going on, especially with the transition. It's not as easy as people might think. People shouldn't say that community college is much easier than a university. It's not. I study at a community college as well but I didn't really struggle with comparing myself to others. I struggled more on trying to understand and study the new material and new language and new environment." [07:17] Community College vs. Universities Switching from a community college to a university is really a hard transition. And when you feel like you have a family and you're comfortable and if you feel have friends and then you have to change to a big system where it feels scary and you don't have that collaboration anymore. It's really hard! It's nice to have that feeling of having a family in that community college as opposed to a cutthroat environment in large universities. Unfortunately, there's still that likelihood of competition. Don't care about people talking about how much they've studied and them sharing their grades. That can be bothersome. It just makes other people feel bad. Maybe people like to sit around and share about their grades because it gives them some kind of feeling of boosting themselves up. But it's a disservice to everyone. And who knows if people doing that are really honest. They might just be saying that, but the truth is they're insecure and they want to make themselves better than other people. So they say things that are not even true. "Sitting around and comparing your grades is just so not helpful. It makes everyone around just feel nervous and feel anxiety." In fact, we call these people "goners" because they tend to just talk about how easy it is and how great their scores are and the rest of us feel like we're wanting. So do whatever you can to just put blinders on or headphones. Do what you need to. Going to your car after the exams is a great idea because it keeps you focused on your path. [11:03] Don't Compare Yourself with Others It's so easy to get scared and bogged down. It's easy to compare yourself to other people. It's so human. But at the end of the day, just focus on what you need to do and you will be your best guide in terms of what you need. Then you can course-correct along the way. "Compare and compete with yourself. Don't worry about other people." Everyone has a different way of learning. Because we learn information from different pieces and we have different tools, what works for one person could be completely different from what works for another individual. That's why sharing your grades and how you studied would only breed competition and feelings of anxiety for everyone. [12:52] Thriving in a Competitive Environment It's really challenging to be going from a nurturing environment to one that does not. In this case, try to look for 1-2 classmates who share in your philosophy, who want to collaborate and not compete. See if you can have a study group. You don't have to necessarily study with them, but maybe just be able to sit across from one another. So each one is studying his or her own way and at their own pace, but just to have the company is great. It can be lonely to study for hours and hours and hours by yourself and to feel that isolation. So if you can find a friend or someone else who is on the same page as you. But it doesn't mean being with those talking about their scores and how they studied, as they're more into comparing than collaborating. [14:46] Community College is Hard! Just tune all that stuff out with regard to people saying community college is easy. People will just make statements about anything and everything. It's really, really hard to put blinders on all the time and just focus on what we need to do. "As human beings and as premeds. It's so hard to not get bogged down in other people's judgments and statements. Just try to tune it out as much as you can." Go to your car or do something nice for yourself that works for you. Keep listening to this podcast as well. Please do call in. The more of you that call in, the more people out there will feel that they have support.

The Hero's Journey and the Paradox of Service to Others It feels like a paradox. You must first selfishly meet your own needs before you can turning to help others. With this in mind, what underlying human traits are common to all (or most), and what's the interplay between the shadow and the light as we strive to live out our own life's narrative? Certainly self care is important, but does “being in service to others” mean you can't make money for yourself as well? And when you're feeling cranky, how's that related to your core values, if at all? To help sort things out, author/writing coach Marisa Goudy and Evolutionary Entrepreneur/Visionary Coach Lisa Engles join Jess and Scott for a thoughtful conversation that also includes the role of the Hero's Journey
