Dans cet épisode, notre duo mère-fille plonge dans le monde de la vulnérabilité masculine. Pourquoi tant d'hommes ont de la difficulté à se montrer vulnérable et à partager leurs émotions ?Dans de nombreuses cultures, les hommes sont souvent socialisés pour incarner la force, la stabilité et la protection. Historiquement, les femmes ont souvent été dans des rôles de soin et d'émotion. Certaines femmes, ayant grandi dans un environnement valorisant ces normes, peuvent inconsciemment associer la vulnérabilité masculine à une perte de cette « force » attendue. Mais qu'en est-il vraiment ? Heureusement, les mentalités évoluent. On valorise aujourd'hui la vulnérabilité chez les hommes, car on comprend que c'est une qualité qui enrichit les relations et favorise l'intimité. La capacité d'un homme à exprimer ses émotions de manière saine est de plus en plus perçue comme un signe de maturité émotionnelle et de confiance.Ready to shine ?Let's go !Références : 1) Brené Brown, « Braving the wilderness: The Quest for True Belonging and the Courage to Stand Alone », Random House, 2017, 208 pages. 2) Brené Brown, « Atlas of the heart », Random House, 2021, 336 pages. 3) Justin Baldoni, « Man Enough: Undefining My Masculinity », HarperCollins Publishers, 2021.

Episode Summary:  Sometimes life seems to bring one heartache after another until we can feel beaten down by all we've been through. My guest today, Cherie Denna, shares from her wounds and pain, and the sacred scars she has gained through infertility, divorce, and ultimately a child custody case for the care of her miracle child. Quotables from the episode: None of our past experiences is wasted. I have a collection of trauma upon trauma, with lots of PTSD triggers. Years of childhood sexual abuse negatively impacted my dream of becoming a mother. There was a lot of damage to my reproductive organs, which led to anger toward my perpetrator and toward God. God met me in the middle of all this. What the enemy stole, God began redeeming. My hopes and dreams were not fulfilled in the way that I had hoped. It was ironic, or God's perfect plan, where God had me in a job with four other women who understood the pain of infertility, while there were many others who were having babies and baby showers. I had a perfect picture painted in my mind of what motherhood would look like. Ultimately, after years of treatment, God gave me my miracle daughter. It was devastating to me to have women in my family who chose abortions. I learned a lot about taking my focus off of myself during that painful time. God kept showing up with His promises. My ex-husband couldn't handle my PTSD triggers, and divorced me, then spent five years in court trying to take my daughter away from me, leaving me to represent myself in court to fight for my daughter. I had to keep remembering God's promises, and the promise that he would not let the enemy win. When I was fighting for my daughter, I recommitted my life to the Lord. He gave me Matthew 10:26 to hold onto. The previous judge had been removed from the bench, and in his place a righteous judge was put in his place, and he granted me custody of my daughter. There was a lot of healing that had to take place between my daughter and myself because there was a lot of parental alienation during this time period. When I recommitted myself to the Lord, he healed the pain between my daughter and I. After I had my one miracle daughter, it didn't bother me anymore that I couldn't have any more children because of the physical scarring in my body. I thank God that He calls me His Beloved. It's painful to be betrayed, especially by someone who's supposed to love you forever. I just clung to the hem of his garment. I committed everything to God, and learned to wait on Him to act. Commit your ways to God's ways, and you will experience the miraculous. We don't always have a choice about things that happen to us, but we do have a choice in how we will respond! Pain often prompts us to isolate from others and from God, but we have a choice in our pain to either walk away from God or to lean in and reach for the hem of his garment. God loves you. He is for you. He always purposes good for you even your circumstances are not good. When you go through pain and suffering, He hurts for you. Scripture tells us that he is close to the broken hearted. He says draw unto me, and I will draw unto you. That is a promise He makes to you, but He wants you to make the first move. Call out to God and He promises He will meet us there. It won't always look the way we want it to look, and it won't always happen in the timing we want it to happen, but God promises you a future and a hope. My challenge to you today is to reach out to Him and watch Him bring a beautiful sacred scar to replace your painful wounds. Scripture References: Matthew 10:26 NLT “But don't be afraid of those who threaten you. For the time is coming when everything that is covered will be revealed, and all that is secret will be made known to all.” Psalm 37:5-7 NLT “Commit everything you do to the LORD. Trust him, and he will help you. He will make your innocence radiate like the dawn, and the justice of your cause will shine like the noonday sun.” Psalm 34:17-19 NIV “The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. The righteous person may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all.”     Recommended Resources:  Beloved Outcast – A True Story: The Quest for True Belonging by Cherie Denna Sacred Scars: Resting in God's Promise That Your Past Is Not Wasted by Dr. Michelle Bengtson  The Hem of His Garment: Reaching Out to God When Pain Overwhelms by Dr. Michelle Bengtson YouVersion 5-Day Devotional Reaching Out To God When Pain Overwhelms   Today is Going to be a Good Day: 90 Promises to Start Your Day Off Right by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner of the AWSA 2023 Inspirational Gift Book of the Year Award, the Christian Literary Awards Reader's Choice Award in four categories, and the Christian Literary Awards Henri Award for Devotionals YouVersion 7-Day Devotional, Today is Going to be a Good Day YouVersion 7-Day Devotional, Today is Going to be Another Good Day Breaking Anxiety's Grip: How to Reclaim the Peace God Promises by Dr. Michelle Bengtson Breaking Anxiety's Grip Free Study Guide Free 7-Day YouVersion Bible Reading Plan for Breaking Anxiety's Grip Hope Prevails: Insights from a Doctor's Personal Journey Through Depression by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner of the Christian Literary Award Reader's Choice Award Hope Prevails Bible Study by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner of the Christian Literary Award Reader's Choice Award Trusting God Through Cancer 1 Trusting God Through Cancer 2 Revive & Thrive Women's Conference Subdue Stress and Anxiety: Fifteen Experts Offer Comprehensive Tools in Ten Minutes a Day.

Embracing Authenticity- The Path to True Belonging

When we strive to fit in, we sacrifice our uniqueness, camouflaging our true essence to gain acceptance. Yet, it is only when we have the courage to be vulnerable and showcase our imperfections that we forge genuine connections and find our tribe. Authentic belonging beckons us to honor our truths, celebrate our quirks, and stand confidently in our own skin, knowing that our worthiness is not contingent upon conformity but rooted in our inherent authenticity. So, let us embark on a journey of self-discovery, shedding the armor of conformity and embracing the liberating power of authenticity as we uncover the true meaning of belonging. In Brene Brown's insightful exploration of belonging in "The Gifts of Imperfection," she illuminates the profound distinction between fitting in and belonging. True belonging, she suggests, necessitates embracing our authentic selves rather than conforming to societal norms or expectations.

As we go throughout our lives, we more often than not feel a sense of belonging at our places of work, within our families, and the people we choose to spend our time with. But sometimes we just don't “fit in”. That can make things awkward, it can stifle us and it can impact our mental health in some seriously negative ways. But what's the difference between belonging and fitting in? And what can we do to remove the uncomfortable and limiting feelings we get when we don't? In today's episode, I will distinguish the difference between what it means to belong vs “fit in”, how acting intentionally can work for us or against us, and how giving up the effort to “fit in” leaves more energy for things that truly matter. -- You Do Not Need to “Fit In” to Belong | Nila Conzen (Article) Braving the Wilderness: The Quest for True Belonging and the Courage to Stand Alone by Brene Brown (Book) Join The Forge!

One of the key drives of our lives is to belong. To truly belong where we are known and accepted and respected, if not loved. We often mistake fitting in for belonging. We perform to fit in at school, at work, at church, or with family. And that's the rub, we're performing. We're not being ourselves. And we don't find true belonging. My expert on belonging is Ritu Bhasin, who is a global expert on diversity, equity, and inclusion and has worked with hundreds of world-renowned organizations to help guide people to becoming their authentic selves, which as you're about to hear is step on in belonging. Ritu has been a professional speaker for almost 15 years and has presented to 100,000s+ people globally. Her book is called We've Got This: Unlocking The Beauty Of Belonging. We discuss the first step in belonging is belonging to yourself. And this is the hardest step. We talked long on what being authentic really entails, when almost all of us were taught to perform. We discuss the difference between being untrue to yourself and adapting to others out of respect and love. And we cover issues of personal credibility and how those who are marginalized in any way have more barriers to cross on the path to belonging, and how they can advocate for themselves.

The hosts explore how the true opposite of anxiety is trust in God, and how vulnerability can help men overcome shame instead of constantly seeking approval. They discuss the importance of vertical principles like belonging to God rather than horizontal fitting in. The hosts encourage developing self-awareness, self-compassion, and intentionally designing routines that promote well-being and meaning over temporary relief or pleasure-seeking.

Have you ever felt the piercing pang of not quite fitting in, or the ache of yearning for genuine belonging? Our latest series plunges into Brené Brown's "Braving the Wilderness," where we uncover the emotional landscapes of authenticity versus fitting in. This isn't your average self-discovery spiel – it's an invitation to join us in the wild terrains of personal anecdotes, the wisdom of Maya Angelou, and the humor of "resting Brad face" as we navigate the complexities of self-belonging and societal expectations.As we peel back the layers of what it means to be true to ourselves, we confront the 'us versus them' mentality and the craving to belong without sacrificing our realness, freedom, or power. This episode isn't about easy answers; it's about engaging in the difficult conversations, seeking joy, sharing pain, and cultivating the curiosity that keeps us from becoming defensive. Our dialogue is enriched by the profound insights of Brené Brown, who champions authenticity through her principles of genuine connection, civil truth-speaking, community building, and the balance of strength with compassion.Finally, we grapple with the paradox of self-perception – are we as good as we think, even when our actions suggest otherwise? This conversation offers a fresh perspective on the duality of our nature, and how embracing this complexity can lead us toward true belonging. We leave you with a thought to carry into the next episode: is lonesomeness the precursor to understanding belonging, or is it the belonging that soothes our solitudes? Join us as we continue to pull at these threads in search of our true place in the wilderness.

Excited to kick off season 6 with Cherie Denna's story interview! Cherie Denna is an author, speaker, and writing coach. In this interview, she describes her dysfunctional childhood, which was comprised of mob members from her mom's family and outlaw bikers from her dad's family. Violence occurred daily. Additionally, Cherie and her sister were abused by her stepfather. At 17, she knew she had to get away from that toxic environment. She began to process the violence, abuse, and fear she experienced in her childhood home. The resulting trauma caused PTSD, suicidal ideations, and infertility. Many years later, Cherie accepted an invitation to a ladies retreat at a church from a friend. This event became a turning point for her. She accepted Jesus and discovered her identity and belonging in Him. Cherie's memoir, Beloved Outcast: The Quest for True Belonging, is releasing in February. Notable quotes from this episode with Cherie Denna: * "Just the nature of the culture of belonging to a mob family and being associated with outlaw bikers. Everything had to stay within the family. Nobody outside the family can be trusted." * "I grew up immersed in fear." * "I knew I had to get out of there. I thought I was running from it all. You can't. You can run from the environment, but the after effects of all the trauma goes with you." * [Jesus] set me on a whole different path. I had a way now through Him - through Christ - to truly learn who I was born to be. And who I truly belonged to." Scripture references:2 Corinthians 5:17: "if anyone is in Christ, he is a newcreation; the old has gone, the new had come!" Connect with Cherie Denna: On Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cheriedennaOn Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cheriedenna/Her website: https://cheriedenna.com/

My guest on this special rewind episode of The School of Greatness – long one of my most-requested guests, even after this appearance – has carved out a very prominent place for herself in the world of emotional well-being. Who is Dr. Brené Brown? Dr. Brené Brown studies shame.  Often, when she's on a plane and isn't in the mood for talking, this one-liner will easily shut down an unwanted conversation (or even a wanted one). Typically, we don't like to talk about shame or anything that can make us feel vulnerable. But Dr. Brown isn't afraid to talk about shame, vulnerability, and loneliness, because sadly, it is at the heart of humanity today. These are feelings that we all feel at some point in our lives.We don't like to talk about vulnerability, mostly because it makes us feel “weak” or “powerless.” We feel like if we admit our fragility, we will be broken in two by the opinions of others and even ourselves. The reluctance to discuss shame has attached a stigma to a very common emotion that we all experience. We discuss that, and more on today's episode.In this episode you will learn,What belonging truly means.What makes people complex.What every parent needs to know about when their kids grow up.Why parents are so defensive about their parenting style.How to support men in being willing to discuss vulnerable topics.For more information go to www.lewishowes.com/1518For more Greatness text PODCAST to +1 (614) 350-3960More SOG episodes on Radical Self Love & Acceptance:Jason Derulo – https://link.chtbl.com/1460-podKaramo Brown – https://link.chtbl.com/1457-podPokimane – https://link.chtbl.com/1443-pod

What is vulnerability according to Brené Brown? “The definition of vulnerability is uncertainty, risk, and emotional exposure.But vulnerability is not weakness; it's our most accurate measure of courage.When the barrier is our belief about vulnerability, the question becomes: 'Are we willing to show up and be seen when we can't control the outcome?'When the barrier to vulnerability is about safety, the question becomes: 'Are we willing to create courageous spaces so we can be fully seen?”-- Brené Brown, Braving the Wilderness: The Quest for True Belonging and the Courage to Stand Alone In this episode, we talk more about what vulnerability is and isn't, but also how you can learn to expose yourself, little by little, in order to live a life you've dreamed of.Would love to have you join the conversation on IG: instagram.com/jaim91Or come hang in my Facebook group: www.facebook.com/groups/teamjaim91
