Loss and death is not an easy topic to discuss in toxic positivity culture we find ourselves. But reality is, grief affects everyone in subtle and time stopping ways. If you're like me, you might feel grief for a time but then "it's time to move on", right? Not so fast! Sitting with grief and asking "what is also true" can make space for gratitude to emerge within the losses. 

Let's talk about our actions, our choices to care for ourselves, our people and the planet. The aphorisms I use often are those pithy phrases that pack a big idea into a short phrase to help remember the big idea. Think globally, act locally is one of those aphorisms.

Time and current events have been a whirlwind swirling around and within. Today I want to offer us three grounding thoughts, two resources and leave you with a blessing from John O'Donohue. My hope is that you will receive a moment of peace in the midst of the whirlwind of news in the US.

This episode is the last in our eight part series focused on self-leadership. We began in September with my book recommendation of How to Walk into a Room by Emily P. Freeman where I shared the clarity I received by reading her words. Courage, Curiosity, Creativity, Calmness, Confidence, Compassion, Connectedness and now back around to Clarity.

This is the penultimate episode of this eight part series about the 8 C's of Self-Leadership. In past episodes we've talked about courage, curiosity, creativity, calmness, confidence and compassion. Today we turn our attention to connectedness. Connectedness in our interior world and our exterior world. Why do we need to pursue connectedness? 

Welcome dear Listener! We're in week 6 of our eight part series covering the 8 C's of Self-Leadership based on the tool developed by Foundations IFS. There will be a link to their pdf in the show notes on letgoleaninpodcast.com Today I want to focus on Compassion and specifically how do we nurture compassion in ourselves and for others?

We're half way through the 8 C's of Self-Leadership series. Today we take a look at confidence. Specifically, building confidence when yours might be wonky. What does confidence really mean? How do we build it? What's challenging about it? Let's find out!

If there's one thing I've learned over the last four years, it's this: acting like an ostrich in the face of uncertainty doesn't get rid of anxiety. I have learned some helpful practices and have talked about many of them in previous episodes. Today, we'll look at developing calmness in your inner world.

We're in the middle of a series on Self-Leadership using the 8 C's of Self-Leadership Wheel from Foundations of IFS. Today's episode focuses on the fourth C which is Creativity. As a woman of faith, I view creativity as a spiritual practice. I'm hoping you will too after you consider what I share here.
