388 Changing Dynamics   Growth is something that cannot easily be stopped. Whether it be the weeds in a garden, or the inquisitive mind of a child, growth in all is something that should be encouraged and nurtured, even if it's by our own hands, so that we can become the people we know we can be. Someone better than who we were yesterday. In today's episode, Sarah Elkins and Carlos Joaquin discuss the importance of Curiosity, Growth, Unity, and the Dynamics in not just the work place but in the home life, and how incredibly important it is to encourage those around you and to be the leader your peers need you to be.    Highlights Curiosity and how it makes people with power uncomfortable and people in need of strength, powerful. Moving on, even when it's hard, because that's what is best for you.  Standing together, especially when faced with strife, is the strongest thing you can do. Comparison is the enemy of growth and unity. Creating a safe environment to express something and not be dismissed or treated differently, so everyone can be apart of the discussion. Growing, and helping others grow, through finding Your community.   Quotes “We decided we're not going to be a part of this anymore, and we're going to say goodbye, and we did, and it was hard, but I think we found strength in each other, and we were united.”  “Psychological safety is a key factor of any learning and development. And if you can't have that then, there's always this lingering or this resistance or this inability to even share or to connect.”  “You focus on that person and you find out, what do they care about, how can I help them get a little bit of that into their lives? Because it's more than numbers, it's more than metrics, it's caring about this person and this person will deliver those numbers, this person will deliver those metrics.” Dear Listeners it is now your turn, What is something that happened in your life, early in your life, that you can now attach to your values? That you can look back, maybe at the time you didn't see it, but you can look back now and see it as a pivotal moment that made you who you are right now. And how can you reframe the story? So that, like Carlos does, you find those silver lining moments, that you understand intuitively and innately, that you can do better. And, as always, thank you for listening.    About Carlos (from his website) I work with small businesses, founders, and teams to improve communication, leadership, and customer experience. Whether it's a one-on-one coaching session, a team workshop, or consulting on systems, I help people move from scattered to strategic — with heart. Check out Carlos's LinkedIn and Instagram! As well as his website!   About Sarah "Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and actively demonstrate their character, values, and vision." In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home. The audiobook, Your Stories Don't Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available! Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana. Be sure to check out the Storytelling For Professionals Course as well to make sure you nail that next interview!

Dr. Majesty Greer, a PGY-1 Anesthesiology resident at Stanford, joins us on this episode of Stranger Fruit to explore the concept of "Growing Seasons"—those unique periods in life marked by change, uncertainty, or intense transformation. Just like in nature, growth in our lives doesn't happen all at once. Some seasons are about planting, others about pruning. Some feel slow and silent, while others are full of blossoming and bloom. We'll discuss how to recognize the season you're in, how to respond with grace and intentionality, and how to make peace with periods that feel unproductive or unclear. What does it mean to grow when everything around you feels dormant? How do we cultivate patience when the fruit of our labor hasn't yet appeared?

Send us a textEver caught yourself making a snap judgment about someone without realizing it? That's unconscious bias at work, and it shapes everything from our teaching practices to our everyday interactions. As educators, these hidden biases can profoundly impact who we trust, how we grade, and even how we discipline students.In this deeply reflective episode, I introduce myself in a new light—as an author currently publishing my debut novel, "Uncover Your Unconscious Bias"—while guiding you through the essential work of bias awareness. I share the Mirror Moment exercise, a powerful self-reflection tool that asks thought-provoking questions about your comfort zones, leadership perceptions, and reactions when your biases are challenged. This isn't about inducing guilt but fostering genuine growth.Beyond self-reflection, we explore practical strategies for classroom implementation: challenging stereotypes in lesson plans, examining representation in classroom visuals, and developing the courage to interrupt bias in real-time. I also highlight additional resources, including my weekly blog, the Inclusive Educator newsletter, and specialized courses on Code Switching 101 and Being an Active Ally. These tools are designed to meet you where you are on your journey toward cultural competence.Remember, awareness leads to action, and action leads to equity. You've already taken the first step by listening. Now, take the free unconscious bias quiz linked in the show notes, sign up for the newsletter to receive your complimentary Mirror Moment PDF, and join me in the ongoing work of creating truly inclusive learning environments.

Today's guest is one of my executive function coaching clients, Helena Bowen. Helena is a speaker coach and speechwriter and supports speakers for TED, TEDx, and other major events. She has ADHD and came on the show to share her experience and what she's learned about herself and her brain over the years. We talk about how Helena is learning to move beyond the frustrating and self-critical thought: “I know what to do, so why can't I just do it?” Through coaching and her own experiments and data collection, she's shifting away from viewing her struggles as character flaws—and instead, getting curious about what's really going on.You'll hear Helena describe how she discovered that what looked like task initiation challenges were actually self-regulation challenges - moments of getting stuck while avoiding the difficult emotions that came up when faced with certain tasks. She opens up about the creative and often unexpected strategies that help her follow through - timers everywhere, mood tracking with the How We Feel app, absurdly tiny task breakdowns, and even art supplies and a foundation brush to outsmart her own brain and build systems that actually work for her. Doing things differently is part of being neurodivergent, and Helena rocks it and then some. I'm excited to share this conversation.

386 Media Literacy and Division    In the age of the internet it is impossibly easy for us to see something shocking and outrageous, ending up with us emotionally and morally outraged. We want to speak up, to make our voices heard in the sea of noise if only for a moment. However, it is easy for us to make a mistake on who we follow or share posts from, it is very easy to be fooled by a wolf in sheep's clothing, which is why it is vital to stop, take a moment to do some basic research, and make our own informed decision. In today's episode, Sarah Elkin's has a solo show dedicated to her thoughts on media literacy, the division that has been amplified by social media, and how important it is that we not only do our own fact checking, but that we also convey our thoughts and stories with intention in order to accurately portray what we believe.   Highlights Sharing the right stories with intention, that are compelling and true.  What are you doing in your daily life that does more harm than good? How do you engage with the people and world around you? You never really know who is listening to you, whether it is our phones and social media, or the people around us.    Quotes “You don't have to tell people who you are or what matters to you. They come to those conclusions through the stories they hear.” “But if I'm too busy to check the source, maybe I shouldn't have shared it at all. Everything we do has consequences and if we don't consider the ‘what happens next?' question, we damage relationships, our reputations, and miss incredible opportunities. We contribute to the noise of division.”   Dear Listeners it is now your turn, I challenge you, to either stop scrolling, I know it's hard. Or take inventory for a few days as you participate. Are your emotions like a rollercoaster as you scroll, feeling really good when you see something you agree with and getting angry, discouraged, or judgey when you see something you don't? Before you hit that like button ask yourself what your intention is when engaging. Are you sure what you're sharing is true? If you're sharing someone else's story, is this a stranger? Are you trusting their opinion over somebody in a similar situation who might be your neighbor or someone in your community? Ask yourself what exactly you're signaling to people by engaging on the post, are you putting something out there that is insulting to people you care about? I am so discouraged and disgusted by the division and polarization, and if you are too, then stop contributing to it.  And, as always, thank you for listening. About Sarah "Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and actively demonstrate their character, values, and vision." In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home. The audiobook, Your Stories Don't Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available! Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana. Be sure to check out the Storytelling For Professionals Course as well to make sure you nail that next interview!

In this insightful episode of "Father and Joe," Joe Rockey and Father Boniface Hicks delve into the complex yet enriching journey of cultivating trust and fostering meaningful relationships with ourselves, others, and God. They explore the intricacies of trust—how it's built step-by-step through integrity, dependability, and consistency, and how it's intrinsically linked to vulnerability. The hosts candidly discuss the challenges around rebuilding trust, especially for those who have experienced trauma, and highlight the importance of being open to growth in relationships.Father Boniface provides a profound perspective on how our daily, seemingly simple interactions are rooted in unexpected levels of trust. Whether navigating a complex journey through a foreign market or simply shopping at a local store, trust silently governs many aspects of our lives. Joe emphasizes that understanding trust starts from within, analyzing our past interactions, and being conscious of the behaviors that foster or hinder relational growth.Listeners are invited to envision their relationships as a canvas, where the practice of mental preparation can be as impactful as the actions themselves. Drawing parallels from sports, Joe illustrates how champions attain mastery not only through physical prowess but through mental agility—foreshadowing their moves and understanding their counterparts' strategies. This analogy extends into relational dynamics, where understanding others' preferences can significantly enhance our interactions and emotional bonds.The conversation further deepens into self-reflection's role in improving relational and spiritual lives. It highlights Pope Francis's teachings on losing touch with our hearts due to societal distractions, advocating for a slower pace that allows for introspection. The two hosts reiterate the need for reflecting on questions of identity, purpose, and divine relationship to maintain a more fulfilled and engaged life.Father Boniface and Joe eloquently conclude that just as much—or even more—growth occurs through thoughtful reflection and genuine communication. They underline that life's challenges invite us to continuously learn, adapt, and nurture our relationships spiritually and interpersonally.This episode serves as a compelling reminder that opening our hearts and minds can transform relationships, weaving trust into the very fabric of our lives. By integrating these elements into our daily practices, we not only enrich our connections with others but also create more space for a profound union with God.Tags: Spiritual Direction, Relationship Building, Trust Development, Self-Reflection, God, Faith Journey, Mental Preparation, Personal Growth, Prayer Practice, Relationship Dynamics, Emotional Intelligence, Trust in Relationships, Vulnerability, Integrity, Dependability, Spiritual Growth, Building Trust, Emotional Connection, Mindfulness, Personal Relationships, Communication Skills, Trustworthiness, Self-Awareness, Reflection, Spirituality, Overcoming Trauma, Religious Guidance, Heartfelt Conversations, Everyday Trust, Relationship Skills, Emotional Growth, Connection with God, God's Will, Christian Faith, Relationship Analysis, Spiritual Practices, Church Life, Engaging Faith, God's Teachings, Podcast SeriesHashtags: #FatherAndJoe #SpiritualDirection #Trust #RelationshipBuilding #FaithJourney #SelfReflection #PersonalGrowth #Communication #EmotionalIntelligence #TrustInRelationships #Vulnerability #Integrity #Dependability #SpiritualGrowth #Mindfulness #PrayerPractice #ConnectionWithGod #ChristianFaith #EmotionalConnection #UnderstandingOthers #GodsWill #RelationalDynamics #ReligionAndFaith #HeartfeltConversations #PersonalRelationships #SpiritualPractice #EverydayTrust #RelationshipAnalysis #SelfAwareness #GodsTeachings #FaithAndLife #FaithPodcast #ReflectiveLiving #BuildingTrust #OvercomingTrauma #EmotionalGrowth #EngagingFa

Hey mission fam! In this week's episode, 209. The Response Effect,  I'm diving deep into what I call "The Response Effect" - a powerful concept that's been on my mind lately. We're exploring how our responses to situations, mistakes, and challenges matter WAY more than the actual event itself. Whether you're a missionary, preparing to serve, or a returned missionary, this episode is all about understanding how grace, curiosity, and compassion can completely transform your experience. I'll share some personal stories - like the time a scout leader handled a situation with my son, and how my own parents' even-keeled responses shaped my understanding of love and support. We'll talk about why we often have reactive responses (spoiler: it's usually fear-based!), and how shifting to curiosity, acceptance, and unconditional love can create incredible ripple effects in our lives. Most importantly, I want you to understand that how you respond to yourself matters just as much as how you respond to others. This episode is a game-changer for anyone wanting to grow, embrace their mission experience, and learn to love themselves through every twist and turn. If you're ready to transform your perspective and create more compassionate, powerful responses in your life, this episode is for you. Let's do this!  As always, if you found this episode helpful, I want to invite you to subscribe if you aren't already, share this episode with your friends and missionaries you know, and write a review. I know this work will help LDS missionaries around the world and it would mean so much to me if you did.

Send us a textWhat happens when a man who has spent his life running from the law comes face-to-face with a power that asks him to stand still? In this riveting episode of Self-Reflection, host Lira Ndifon sits down with David Damptian—a man formerly known as "Dangerous Dave"—for a conversation that excavates the wreckage of a past defined by crime, addiction, and violence, and uncovers a story of radical redemption that challenges the very limits of belief.Dave's story begins in the shadows—a self-described "criminal, thief, drug dealer, and alcoholic" from a dead-end town, whose life was a series of bad choices leading to jail time and despair. He recounts the gritty details of his descent, and the almost unbelievable story of how a desire to meet girls on a church basketball team led to an unexpected, "supernatural" encounter with God. But this was no instant miracle. What followed were decades of wrestling with faith, a cycle of running away and being relentlessly pulled back, a journey that ultimately transformed him from a street-level criminal into a sought-after "fixer" of failing psychiatric hospitals.But this episode goes far beyond one man's incredible life story. Lira and Dave venture into the complex, often contradictory heart of faith itself. They grapple with the questions that have haunted believers and skeptics for millennia: Is the Bible literal truth or a collection of profound metaphors? Why does a book that preaches love also contain verses that justify "an eye for an eye"? And where does the flawed, human institution of religion end, and a true, personal connection with the divine begin?Ultimately, Dave's journey reveals a powerful truth about the human condition: true change isn't something that happens to us, but a choice we must make. He shares the stunningly simple, yet impossibly difficult, mindset that allowed him to walk away from decades of addiction overnight. This conversation is more than just an interview; it's a mirror held up to our own lives, forcing us to ask: What do we choose to believe in, and what are we willing to do to be saved from ourselves?Support the showCall to Action: Engage with the Self-Reflection Podcast community!
