There is a concept called dualistic thinking that has to do with categorizing things in one of two ways, this OR that: as in good or bad, like or dislike, right or wrong. However, most of us have grappled with situations where the answer was more nuanced than a simple yes or no , where we ve processed emotions that were more complicated than good or bad , and where the line between right and wrong was blurred. Why? Because humans are very complex. In this show we ll be talking about the difference between dualistic and complex thinking. We will explore how learning to use our minds in more nuanced ways can be both a gift and a challenge. Watch live on Facebook. www.facebook.com/transformationtalkradio/

Great Expectations!
Why is it so hard to change, to try new things, or to take action on things we say we want to do? It might be because we are afraid, or because we have unrealistic expectations, or because we think that if we can’t do it perfectly, we won’t do it at all. In this episode of Get Big Out Loud, we’ll explore how fear, expectations, and perfectionism keep us in the status quo and share ideas for how to reframe our thinking so that we can Get Big in meaningful and important ways!

The Currency of Trust
When we want to buy something we use money, when we want to build a relationship, solve a problem, or make a decision, we use trust. Trust is defined as, ‘a firm belief in the reliability, truth, ability, or strength of someone or something’. In this episode of Get Big Out Loud, we’ll explore the concept of trust and how valuable it is as a form of currency. A currency that you can’t keep in your bank account, but one that is priceless.
Hard Truths!
In this episode of Get Big Out Loud the question, “Can I be honest with you?” is a setup to a hard truth. What makes it hard for us to tell the truth?
Meaning Making
Our brains seem to be hard-wired to look for meaning. We interpret all kinds of situations and objects with a focus on what they mean. Driving a certain car, having a particular handbag, or jewelry from a specific store can mean something about a person's status. Walking under a ladder or breaking a mirror can mean ‘bad luck’ while finding a four-leaf clover or hanging up a horseshoe can mean ‘good luck’. In this episode of Get Big Out Loud, we’ll explore ideas around meaning making, discuss the purpose of meaning, and to what degree meaning has value.
The Tipping Point
Between November and January, we celebrate many holidays in the United States. These celebrations can bring joy and fulfillment as well as stress and overwhelm. There are usually high expectations along with more obligations, time with people we may not see that often, and opportunities for strong emotions to arise. All of which can take us from calm to overwhelmed in a matter of moments. In this episode of Get Big Out Loud, we’ll talk about the tipping point of the holiday season, share ideas for how to find balance in the chaos, and tangible ways to realistically enjoy this time of year.
