#29 When Things Change and You Don't Want Them to Oct 22, 2021

Show notes

We talk alot on this podcast about thinking in ways that serve you. But we haven't discussed how to apply it when you're facing a big change that you don't want to face.

Dealing with change can feel so difficult to grapple with. It can make you want to avoid the change and maybe even resist it in unhealthy ways.

But you don't have to avoid or resist change.

If you can identify the stages I lay out today, you can go through change with more grace and elevate your ability to trust yourself with anything life throws your way.

In this episode, I give you four tips to follow in order to allow for going through change with more grace. I teach you how to fight for your future, and not get stuck in 'the good ole days' mentality. The four tips will show you how to be gentle with yourself through change, even when you don't love what life is asking of you.

You've got this. You can handle this.

#28 We All Mess Up our Children: A Message of Hope - Attachment Theory Insights Every Parent Needs to Know Oct 05, 2021

Show notes

Trust issues show up for many of us. Attachment Theory may explain why.

Based on our childhoods, how we were nurtured, and based on our temperaments, we developed what I call trust templates, which is just in simple terms, your default programming with your ability to trust. Sometimes, our trust templates need some attention and updating.

Attachment Theory can help you see through a more clear lens the areas where to work on building trust. It's a skill that can be developed.

In today's episode, you'll learn:

the definition of the different Attachment Styles.
the history of where Attachment Theory came into being in the psychology world, why it's still such a valid theory. (You'll want to see if you can identify your own Attachment Style as you listen.)
how your Attachment Style lays a foundation for your assumptions about relationships as an adult and how it affects your ability to trust.
some tips on how you can more gracefully heal and up-level your own attachment style in your present relationships.
and answer the burning question everyone has after learning about Attachment Styles, (I'm sure you'll have this question in your mind too,) which is, can your Attachment Style change over time? Is it too late?

When you learn how to trust, you get to experience more fulfilling relationships that are deeply satisfying. And I want that for all of you.

#27 Kindred Spirits: How to be an Amazing Friend Sep 12, 2021

Show notes

We have many expectations when it comes to our friendships.

We believe that kindred spirits friendships should be easy. They must believe the same way we do, never have disagreements, and always be fun. And if our friends let us down, believe new things, or move away, we distance ourselves.

Does that sound familiar?

The expectations we put on our friendships are difficult to live up to. It is always our job to go first, to love, and to not try to change the other person.

On this episode of The Dare Greatly Podcast, I share 7 tips on how you can be an amazing friend and find your kindred spirits. These tips will not only make your friendship more fulfilling but also make you feel like you have the most amazing friends ever.

#25 How to Foster a Sense of Belonging among Women Friendships Aug 02, 2021

Show notes

A topic on my mind and heart right now, I'm coming off of a lot of summer camps and experiences rubbing shoulders with amazing young women.

Do you know, that you all are raising some amazing girls out there?

I really love this age group, the young women in their teenage and young adult years.

I'm always impressed with their intelligence these days, they are smart! and also how hard they work, the things they navigate in today's world that I didn't necessarily have to face. . .

Today's episode is about considering how to model to the younger generation, how to help the young women in your life cultivate a sense of belonging with each other; being willing to embrace the friendships in your life from a place of curiosity and non-judgement.

This age group can set up a tone or a them for the rest of women's lives, with their ability to enjoy each other.

I've noticed a theme with my clients with needing to heal resentments from the past with friendships gone awry, and I'm always so proud of women who put forth the effort to have the hard conversations, clean up the hurt feelings, and who conclude that friendships with other women are worth all of it.

This can be a tender area for a lot of us. I've found that there are some old wounds from friendships gone south that can hurt for years, and we tend to carry those experiences into adulthood.

But today's conversation will help you consider how we CAN heal old wounds, we can shift this dynamic, and move forward, if that is something that is calling to you.

Join me in the conversation, I asked my friend, Lisa Nelson, to share her insights with how she thinks about women friendships and how her approach is not only possible, it's the best way.

Life Lessons from Cruella and the Power of Stories Jun 16, 2021

Show notes

I see so many of us with limiting beliefs around how we tell our own story, which wouldn't be a problem if these beliefs weren't directly affecting our sense of self. These limiting beliefs hold us back from creating the best version of ourselves, and I'm showing you how to start thinking differently about the meaning of stories, the role of anger and revenge, and the option of developing more loving-kindness.

If you have thoughts about Disney's new movie, Cruella, or that anger and outrage is easier, you might be missing huge opportunities to add more goodness to the world. And you are missing out on why loving-kindness is worth it in the end, nobody wins. It's all about thinking about how you tell your story in a way that gets you the results you really want, which is to FEEL better.

Tune in this week as I break down the limiting beliefs I see with the role of anger and outrage when we've been wronged, if revenge is ever justified, how to cultivate more loving-kindness for fuel versus anger, and so much more.⁠
