In today’s fast-paced, digital world, true connection is one of our most powerful yet overlooked assets. On this episode, I dive into why prioritizing human connection is essential—for personal well-being, effective leadership, and thriving teams. With all the great technology we have and even with the flexibility we have to work from anywhere, making sure we focus on human connection is so important.
Like millions of people around the country and the world, I’ve been feeling heartbroken by the devastating tragedy in Texas with the recent floods. On this episode I share some of my thoughts and feelings about what happened, and about how we can navigate uncertainty and even tragedy with as healthy a perspective as possible. Our ability to authentically make our way through pain, disruption, grief, and the unknown are both challenging and essential, especially these days.
Emotional freedom is about giving ourselves permission to feel all our emotions in a healthy way, even the hard ones. While this can be challenging for lots of reasons, when we have the courage to authentically feel our emotions, it opens up so much capacity for us and deepens our ability to meaningfully connect with others. On this episode, I talk about some of what makes it difficult for us to feel certain feelings and some common misunderstandings we have about “positive” and “negative” emotions. I then share two powerful techniques that can help us access and transform our emotions in an empowering way.
There is quite a bit of challenge and chaos in our country and our world right now. Creating a true sense of inner peace can be difficult, especially when the external environment is as fraught as it is these days. On this episode, I talk about some of the collective dynamics that are causing quite a bit of stress and fear. I then share some specific things we can do to create peace within ourselves, regardless of what’s going on around us.
No matter how great or challenging things may be – personally and collectively – what’s happening right now will, at some point down the line, be the “good ole days.” On this episode, I talk about some of the many reasons it can be challenging to appreciate things as they are happening. I then share some ideas and perspectives on why it is important for us to do so and how we can appreciate life, others, and ourselves…right now, even and especially if things are difficult.
