Why is it so hard to change, to try new things, or to take action on things we say we want to do?

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.

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.

Striving, doing, and achieving, are built into our cultural values. We should always be ‘on’, ‘going the extra mile’, and ‘giving 110%’. Sometimes all this productivity gets confused with our worthiness, as if the number of things checked off our to-do list equates to how much value we have. In this episode of Get Big Out Loud, we’ll explore our ideas around worthiness and what it means to be enough.
