Unpacking Myself

True wisdom comes through in our day to day lives and experiences. It’s easy to get caught up in the consumption of information but it isn’t wisdom until we truly metabolize the information. Once we process it, digest it and implement it in our life then we truly get the benefits of obtaining that wisdom. In this episode, I talk about what wisdom truly is and how to progress beyond simply obtaining information. I also talk about how to gauge what stage you are in and whether it is truly benefiting you. It’s easy to get attached to our practices or the act of doing something but true wisdom is deeper than that. Listen in as I unpack this topic.

We live in a society that is flashy. We are attracted to and impressed by fame, recognition, attention and it is easy to get caught up in chasing that or comparing ourselves to that but the true value of our life is measured by the impact we have in this world and on those around us. It’s easy to dismiss our impact when it doesn’t seem as flashy or as grand or large scale as those around us but when we pause and ask “what impact am I having” or “what impact do I want to have” then we can live a more meaningful and fulfilling life. True fulfillment comes from genuine impact in even just one life, not the flashy things like followers or awards. Listen in to gain a new perspective on the impact you are having already in your life and how to shift your perspective on success and accomplishments.

I got fired up about a post I say that said never say these things in an email at work. I dive into why saying things a certain way is not the answer and how that can make us lose credibility instead of earn respect. Being a “boss babe” or “boss lady” has nothing to do with confidence by avoiding certain phrases. It is deeper than that so we need to go deeper than the external presentation. People are drawn to authenticity, not manipulating words to make ourselves seem favorable. Can’t wait to hear what you think about this one! Share your thoughts.

Manipulation can feel hurtful, disrespectful and deceiving but why do people do it in the first place? On the receiving end it can be confusing because manipulation isn’t a blatant and direct act. It is meant to confuse us - we are being told one thing but you feel that the intentions are not in line. This week I unpack what helps me get clarity in these moments of confusion, what motivates people to manipulate and how you can deal with it without creating clutter in your mind.

Life is anything but predictable yet we continue to be shocked and surprised when things don’t go as planned or go our way. It’s hard to see it in the moment but the hard moments often make the best stories of how we grew or learned. The goal was never to not feel emotions but rather how quickly we can get ourselves out of negative emotions or mindsets. In this episode, I unpack how finding the humor in life and hard moments can actually help us bounce back from hard emotions and moments.

I realized that at times, my need for clarity and transparency gave me the illusion that I knew exactly what was going on within someone else. This was delusional, this was my ego. How could we act like we know what it is to be someone else even when we “put ourselves in their shoes.” The last thing we are as a species, is simple. We are complex, people are complex so how can we even think for a moment that we know what is going on within someone else. In this episode, I unpack how I remind myself that I do not have all the facts about someone else, and how this can help us judge others less.

During a recent chat, a friend and I noticed similarities in our marriages because of how our spouses were. When someone is whole themselves, without us, they create a stability and ease in their relationships that benefits those around them. When we are not whole and seeking other things or others to complete us, our relationships become shaky and tumultuous. When we are whole, change or growth or success or failure in other people’s lives doesn’t affect us, even if its our spouse. I unpack why this elevates and becomes key in all our relationships.

I recently noticed something my mind was doing. It did it back to back which allowed me to realize there was something to unpack. We are designed to protect ourselves from being hurt, not just physically but emotionally as well. If we don’t take time to pause and unpack, we don’t even realize the ways our mind tries to protect us. It creates false narratives, goes into judgment mode, makes things more complicated than they need to be. Listen in on how I unpacked my judgment of others and what helped me stop.

Most people are really uncomfortable with uncertainty, whether its in business or personal lives or career. Uncertainty brings up fear, stress, insecurities for us. We feel like we should know - what college we are going to, what career path we want, when we are going to get married, etc. And so to avoid the discomfort we try to plan everything and be ahead of it. We then impose our fear of uncertainty on our kids. Why do we do this? And what are we missing out on by avoiding uncertainty in our life?
