You carry life's burdens with you every day. Some days, they might feel heavy enough to break you.But they also have the power to inspire you.Your burdens are those difficult life experiences you've had. Our past pains can be the source of many of our recurring struggles. And they can also motivate us to do good in the world.Coming to terms with our burdens–how they inspire us and how they continue to cause us pain–is a key step for allowing ourselves to be known and loved as we are.Without recognizing our burdens, we can't make ourselves open to intimate connections. This is the work of a lifetime.Self-discovery takes time, and it doesn't necessarily get any easier with age. But one way we can enhance the process is to listen to others tell their stories and share their burdens. And that's been the goal of this podcast from Day 1. Today, I'm proud to be sharing our 50th episode with you.My guest, Alison Cook, is a longterm friend and colleague and she's interviewing me about the origin story of this podcast along with connecting the dots of my story that informs my work today.Alison Cook, PhD is a counselor, speaker, and the author of two books, including her new book, The Best of You (coming September 2022) and Boundaries for Your Soul.

Dr. Alison Cook, Author of "Boundaries for Your Soul: How to Turn Your Overwhelming Thoughts and Feelings into Your Greatest Allies," asks this question, "Do you control your feelings or do your feelings control you?" Many of us allow guilt, anger, or self-criticism to dominate our inner lives and adversely affect our relationships. In today's conversation, Janell and Alison have a great conversation about how to learn to love others without neglecting yourself.

Building on the discussion in the first half, where the lenses of psychology, neurology, theology, and cultural studies were applied to matters of identity, brokenness, colonialism, institutional religious structures, diversity and more, we went after forgiveness and reconciliation next.

In this episode of Broadening the Narrative, I talked with my best friend Kate Jaco. We discussed becoming boundaried and shared about our journeys toward developing boundaries alongside one another. Kate is an Enneagram 9, one of the most generous people I know, and a delightful human being.

Fear, guilt, shame, bitterness, and regret. Five deadly emotions that will lie to you about your identity, sink daggers of despair into your heart, and sabotage your relationships and your potential in life. What do most people do about the lingering effects of those five emotions in their lives? At least on my end, I surpassed them until it was too painful to do so any longer. And that wasn’t a good choice. Men and women all over the country unknowingly make decisions from a false identity created by fear, guilt, or shame. But they don’t know they’re doing it. So life sort of flat-lines and they think it’s just the way things are supposed to end-up. What if there was a way to reach way down to the root of those emotions, set healthy boundaries for our soul, and instead, change the trajectory of our lives simply by a change of heart? I believe it’s possible. Joining us today is Kimberly Miller. She’s the co-author of the brand-new book, Boundaries for Your Soul: How to Turn Your Overwhelming Thoughts and Feelings into Your Greatest Allies, and she’s going to guide you through a five-step process to transform these liabilities into powerful strengths. Buy the Book What if feelings like anger, sadness, and fear could improve your life for the better? In this practical, life-changing book, Christian counselors Alison Cook and Kimberly Miller describe their unique five-step process for bringing peace to overwhelming emotions and harmony to your inner world. Do you ever struggle to calm your competing internal "enemies"? Boundaries for Your Soul provides a Spirit-based plan for creating remarkable serenity within by helping you recognize that these often-overwhelming emotions are not your enemies; rather, they are helpers who have gone well beyond their roles, robbing you of deep-down joy and genuine connection with others. By compassionately guiding them to their proper functions, however, you can make them your greatest encouragers and allies. In Boundaries for Your Soul: How to Turn Your Overwhelming Thoughts and Feelings into Your Greatest Allies, Cook and Miller guide you through a five-step process for doing so, showing you how to introduce the Holy Spirit to your wayward emotions and transform your weaknesses into powerful strengths. Filled with anecdotes and wisdom from the authors' combined 25 years of study and clinical practice, Boundaries for the Soul leads listeners on a journey of personal discovery grounded in the Christian tradition.

Do you feel like you’re in control of your emotions? Or do you feel like your emotions control you? When you’re caught up in a feeling – whether it’s anxiety or anger or envy – do you feel overwhelmed? I have definitely felt those things before, so I’m particularly grateful to talk with Alison Cook on the show today about boundaries for the soul and Spirit-led self leadership. Alison is a speaker, counselor, and writer who is passionate about helping people fully live out their God-given potential. She received her Ph.D. in religion and psychology and has served as a counselor for over 20 years. She lives in Boston with her husband and two teenage kids, where they are active in The Salvation Army. I can’t wait for you to meet Alison. I hope this will be an important and encouraging episode for you.

THINGS TO THINK ABOUT So often we have the negative emotion – the anger or the anxiety – and we think we need to get rid of it, instead of inviting God to be with us in it. ~ Alison Cook To befriend your feelings: Extend compassion or curiosity to whatever it is you’re experiencing. ~ Alison Cook That inner ‘guilt-tripper’ is often what’s protecting you from grief. It’s guilting you to protect you from what’s really going on, which is feeling grief and sorrow. ~ Alison Cook
