Show Notes

We're back! We missed you guys!!!
Injury, illness, and crazy schedules has kept us away, but today we jumped into part three of our review of Brené Brown's The Gifts of Imperfection!

In this ep. we dig into  Guideposts 4-7 of Wholehearted living

  • 4 : Cultivating Gratitude & Joy: Letting Go of Scarcity & Fear of the Dark
  • 5: Cultivating Intuition & Trusting Faith: Letting Go of the Need for Certainty
  • 6: Cultivating Creativity: Letting Go of Comparison
  • 7: Cultivating Play and Rest: Letting Go of Exhaustion as a Status Symbol & Productivity as Self-Worth

We discuss how comparison makes us AFRAID we're not good enough, thus it robs us of our JOY.  If we aren't living with joy, we won't prioritize play, creativeness or rest. AKA the building blocks of a wholehearted life.
We examine our need for certainty, and if you have to be certain, you leave no room for faith.

James and I share details about our struggles in finding play that isn't attached to productivity, some fears, and how we're learning to let go of 'status'.

If uncertainty = vulnerability, & intuition is making room for uncertainty ... no wonder we suck at using our intuition! It's all in the name of growth folks! Here's to learning about WHY we do the things we do, and growing into who we're created to be with less fear of the dark.
