Stop Taking and Giving Advice—Here’s Why

When you are in pain or crisis, there are three main ways that most people respond.  Sometimes they pity you.  Sometimes they judge you.  Sometimes they try to fix you / your problem.  And yet none of these responses inspire true connection, healing or growth.  In today’s episode, I’ll share w…

What Your Pain Wants To Say

Have you ever considered giving your pain a voice?  For most of us, this doesn’t even register. We think about curing our pain, side-stepping our pain, solving our pain, fixing our pain or numbing our pain. Anything but allowing and listening to our pain.  Let me ask you this: what if your pain …
