Ep 59: Being Authentic...Being Real! Mar 09, 2022

Show notes

In this episode, Dr. Dodd “walk’s around” the subject of being true to yourself, of being authentic, being real. In other words, being your authentic self. It’s about being who you really are…deep within you. It means that what you say in life is in alignment with your actions. It’s about living life that is genuine, real, consistent with how you define you…no matter your circumstances or audience. Having your thoughts, your words, actions, attitudes, beliefs…line up with each other. He cautions that when this is not the case, it’s easy to slip into “people-pleasing” mode, or the “Imposter Syndrome” which usually involves the wearing of psychological masks, when we do and say things based on our circumstances (i.e., what others expect of us).

Ep 58: Men...and Their Emotions Mar 02, 2022

Show notes

In the world we live in, men often feel that they need to present as self-reliant, fearless, stoic, and have all the answers. Imagine, just for moment, being a young boy who is crying over a painful injury…or being afraid…and then being told to “man up.” A man recently shared, “This world seems to tell us that men should be stoic, aloof, and a lone wolf. But I have found, to be there…is a dangerous spot to put myself. I need people around me, especially other men who can hold me accountable…in a non-judgmental way.”

Join Dr. Dodd, as he addresses the myth (or completely wrong conclusion) that men are unfeeling, void of emotions.

Ep 57: Staying Mentally Healthy...Even in Crisis/Trauma Feb 23, 2022

Show notes

In this episode, Dr. Dodd is responding to so many individuals who have reached out asking, “how do you maintain good mental health in times of crisis or trauma?” In situations (e.g., marital separation/divorce, loss of a job, loss of an important relationship, etc.) that create or add stress, anxiety, fear, and uncertainty. Every human being wants life to be predictable…to be certain. Dr. Dodd provides real life, practical suggestions on how to navigate your way through difficult times.

Ep 56: Imperfect Progress Feb 16, 2022

Show notes

In this episode, Dr. Dodd encourages us to choose progress over perfection. He states that, “All of us have had times when we neglect to do what we can do…out of fear of not doing it perfectly. Our world calls it “perfectionism.” As a rule, perfectionism almost always has at its roots, the desire to be accepted and the fear of being rejected. Our goal should not be to strive for perfection, rather to make imperfect progress. Join Dr. Dodd as he provides several (19) practical suggestions on how to do this…imperfectly!

Ep 55: His Peace...His Hope Feb 09, 2022

Show notes

In a world that seems too often chaotic, noisy, angry, fearful, without any peace, and very little hope…Dr. Dodd has some really good news for you! In this episode, He shares that “It is possible to live in a place of peace that the world cannot understand or certainly provide. It’s just as possible to have a hope that is not based on circumstances, your bank account, your strength, your individual resources, or where you live!

It can be more than just an intellectual understanding/agreement. It’s a way of living! To be able to trust His peace and Hope…to live it out…to wrap your heart around it!

Ep 54: Looking at Abuse Feb 02, 2022

Show notes

In this episode, Dr. Dodd addresses the incredibly disturbing issue of abuse. He states, “that while there are many different types of abuse, I categorize them in to four different types…physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.” Dr. Dodd further states that, “It is my hope and prayer to not only identify or describe the four…but to also provide some hope, alternatives, resources, thoughts, steps…on how to begin addressing possible abuse in your life.”

Ep 53: Your Words Don't Match Your Actions! Jan 26, 2022

Show notes

We’ve all heard the saying, “actions speak louder than words”. What we do says more about our values, beliefs, and priorities than what we say.

In this episode Dr. Dodd says, “I want to take a few moments to talk about the importance of our actions matching our words. You know the issue, “your actions speak so loud I can’t hear a word you’re saying!” In other words, an individual’s credibility and/or trustworthiness, is largely based on their ability to “live out” what they mean or say…with their words. Too often we take someone’s words as the truth, even when all the evidence points otherwise.

Ep 52: The Challenge of Blending Families Jan 19, 2022

Show notes

Are you ready for some help?! You can beat the odds! Let me share with you some basic tips on how to build a successful, blended family. So many of the common difficulties are often unanticipated and end up showing themselves after the new family is formed. Please realize…there are some unique barriers to the blended family/marriages, that must be managed…both prior to and during the blended marriage. He states, “I can’t emphasize enough…the need to be proactive in this versus finding yourself having to always react!”

In this episode, Dr. Dodd shares some of the major/critical points/topics (the “laundry list”) that he believes must be addressed…increasing the likelihood of success. Knowing what to expect can help you address issues before they become bigger than necessary.

Ep 51: Come On! Be A Man! Jan 12, 2022

Show notes

Oh…the important role of Man in our society! As men, we are to offer valuable life lessons! We are to model/teach what it means to be a man of honor, of strength, a man of faith, integrity, as well as a seeker of wisdom. Dr. Dodd states that he has talked with hundreds/probably thousands of men over the years and has come to believe that so much of societal issues are due to men growing complacent…growing quiet…not taking a stand.

In this episode Dr. Dodd asks that all men (especially) listen with an open heart and mind. With no desire or intention to shame, guilt, or criticize…he challenges you to be strong, honorable, have integrity, be a man of faith, and a seeker of wisdom and the heart of God.
