Welcome back to the Making Milestones podcast! This week, we dive into the challenges of balancing life's daily struggles with broader societal issues. As I return from a brief hiatus, I share my personal experiences dealing with mental and physical health challenges, business responsibilities, and day-to-day chores. Join me as I discuss how these pressures intersect with societal expectations, leading to burnout and emotional suppression. We explore how societal norms often force us to hide our true feelings and the long-term impacts this can have on both mental and physical health. This episode also touches on the significant gap between mental and physical health perceptions and the role of societal structures in maintaining this divide. Delving into broader themes of capitalism, societal fairness, and the weight of global issues, I aim to provide a comforting space for those feeling overwhelmed by similar struggles. Tune in for an honest reflection on these topics and discover ways to manage your own mental health amidst the chaos of today's world.   Support the Podcast: Send listener stories or topic requests: makingmilestonespodcast@gmail.com Shop my clothing and bridles: http://shopmilestoneeq.com Check out free resources, webinars and more: http://milestoneequestrian.ca Subscribe to Patreon: http://patreon.com/sdequus Tip jar: http://paypal.me/milestoneequestrian   Follow me elsewhere: http://facebook.com/milestoneequestrian96 http://instagram.com/sdequus http://tiktok.com/@sdequus

Have you ever pondered what truly defines your worth? This episode invites you on a heartfelt journey to explore the essence of personal value, especially in moments when societal pressures seem overwhelming. Through the lens of the holiday season and the feelings it evokes, we engage in a rich discussion that challenges the notion of equating value with material success. Our conversation is not merely philosophical, but deeply rooted in spiritual teachings, emphasizing the importance of surrounding ourselves with those who inspire authentic growth and highlight our inherent worth.As we navigate through the tapestry of societal expectations, we take a critical look at how cultural shifts and financial challenges can skew our perception of self-worth. Together, we unravel the truth that being created in God's image bestows an intrinsic value far beyond worldly achievements. The pressures of living paycheck to paycheck and the ensuing sense of inadequacy are tackled head-on, offering listeners practical insights into maintaining self-awareness and resilience amidst a rapidly changing world. This exploration urges a return to core values, both personally and within the community, pushing against the tide of superficial success.The personal journey of faith and redemption is at the heart of our conversation, shedding light on the transformative power of understanding one's value in Christ. Reflecting on personal experiences of doubt and struggle, we affirm that true forgiveness and purpose are not earned but freely given through a relationship with God. Critiquing modern church practices, we call for a renewed focus on genuine spiritual growth and discipleship, encouraging listeners to embrace the unwavering love and grace offered by God. This episode is a profound reminder of the intrinsic value placed upon each individual, inspired by scripture and personal testimony, leaving you with a sense of hope and empowerment as you navigate your own journey.Support the show

From Overwhelm to Calm: Redefining Your Holiday Season The holiday season often brings a whirlwind of activities, expectations, and societal pressures that can lead to feelings of overwhelm and stress. However, by embracing the concept of holiday essentialism, you can transform your experience into one that is joyful and fulfilling. This approach encourages you to focus on what truly brings you joy while letting go of obligations that do not serve you. Inspired by Greg McCowan's book "Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less," which encourages focusing on fewer but more meaningful activities, Tonya challenges listeners to ask themselves three key questions: What truly brings them joy during the holidays? What activities they do out of obligation? What memories they want to create? She discusses the societal expectations that can turn what should be a joyful time into a marathon of obligations. Tune in to discover how to shift your mindset and focus on what truly matters this holiday season, embracing the simple joys and calm instead of the chaos. Talking Points: 01:09 - Holiday Overwhelm and Societal Pressures 02:13 - Fear of Disappointing Others  04:36 - What is Essentialism? 05:39 - Question 1: What Truly Brings Me Joy? 06:34 - Question 2: What Am I Doing Just Because I Think I Have To? 07:50 - Question 3: What Memories Do I Want to Create? 08:33 - Shifting from Excess to Intention 09:55 - Editing Ruthlessly 14:06 - Mindfulness and Being Present 17:02 - Secret Santa and Charitable Giving 18:04 - Simplifying the Holidays 23:10 - Setting Boundaries for Social Commitments 24:03 - Prioritizing Connection Over Perfection 24:13 - Setting Intentions for the Holiday Season Quotes: "If holidays are not your thing, especially around this time of year, I challenge you to skip it altogether." "The shift in mindset with holiday essentialism is to move from access to intention and from pleasing others to cherishing moments." "Just because you've done something for years doesn't mean you have to continue doing it." "The holidays are not a performance and you don't have to be performative." "Shed the souffle. Seriously, let her go. You don't need to do it." "What people remember is how you made them feel."

You've done all the right things. You have an idea, a business, and you're doing the work but… something just isn't clicking. Why? Well, I believe that it comes down to the societal expectations placed on us, and the current state of “hustle culture” right now. And you know what? Entrepreneurship IS hard. This is not a you problem. This is challenging to so many people across the board. But, at the same time, entrepreneurship is freedom. So I'm going to get into 6 mindset reframes that are going to help you change your approach to being an entrepreneur. From perfectionism, to the lone wolf mentality, to the power of saying no, normalizing failure, redefining success, and finding your inherent strengths, I'm giving you all of my advice on how to conquer these challenges and mental blocks and reach the next level of business ownership. Remember to accept and love yourself, and that no one but you gets to define what a successful business is. 00:00 — Welcome to The Unfiltered Entrepreneur 02:29 — The Challenges of Entrepreneurship 03:03 — Societal Pressures on Women Entrepreneurs 03:52 — Rejection of Hustle Culture 08:19 — The Myth of Perfectionism 12:48 — The Lone Wolf Mentality 16:02 — The Power of Saying No 20:01 — Embracing Failure 25:57 — Redefining Success 30:23 — Inherent Strengths of Women 34:04 — Accepting Yourself Resources: Dial Zero Marketing Join The Doers ------ Into it?

In this episode of Patriarchy Principles, host Jay and guest Erin discuss the concept of 'soul sickness' affecting families and society. They explore the importance of raising children with strong moral values, the necessity of truth in parenting, and the impact of societal norms on children's development. The conversation delves into the role of God in society, the dangers of conformity, and the need for honest discussions about identity and gender. They emphasize the importance of allowing children to be kids and the consequences of fear-mongering in modern parenting. In this engaging conversation, Jey and Erin discuss various societal issues, including crime trends, the evolution of family dynamics, the impact of education, the importance of spirituality, and the need for political discourse and unity. They emphasize the significance of community action and the role of prayer in navigating the complexities of modern life. The dialogue reflects on the challenges faced by families and individuals in today's society, advocating for a return to core values and a more connected community. Takeaways Raising Patriots is about instilling good values in children. Truth is essential for children to navigate the world. Children need to learn how to handle reality and truth. Societal norms can negatively impact children's development. Parents should encourage open discussions about identity and gender. The absence of God in society contributes to moral decline. Fear-mongering in media affects parenting choices. Children should be allowed to play and explore freely. Honest conversations about politics and religion are necessary. The evolution of crime and safety reflects societal changes. Crime rates have fluctuated significantly over the decades, with recent upticks linked to economic stress and social changes. The decline of the nuclear family has contributed to various societal issues, including crime and disconnection. Education systems often prioritize conformity over critical thinking, limiting individual potential. Spirituality and prayer are seen as vital tools for personal empowerment and community strength. Political discourse has become polarized, yet there is a call for unity and understanding across differing viewpoints. Community action and engagement are essential for addressing societal challenges and fostering change. The importance of family dinners and togetherness has diminished in modern society, impacting relationships. Economic pressures force families to work longer hours, often at the expense of quality time with children. The media's rapid news cycle can lead to desensitization and a lack of emotional processing for significant events. A return to core values and community support is necessary for healing and growth.

What are some practical ways communities can support emotional healing and growth? How do societal norms around men and women's emotional expressions affect interpersonal relationships, and what can be done to create a more balanced emotional landscape for both genders?
