Season 3 · Episode 17

Monday, June 17, 2024 • Duration 11:00

Have you ever been told to 'think logically' and 'ignore your feelings' when making a big decision? What if there's more to it? People have emotions and ignoring them isn't realistic or beneficial. In today's episode, we're uncovering the powerful role emotions play in shaping our choices and our lives. If you've ever felt torn between your heart and your head, this episode is for you.

Highlights

Why Ignoring Emotions Isn’t an Option: Explore real-life scenarios where emotions play a significant role in decision-making.
Impulsive Decisions vs Emotional Awareness: Learn the difference between making decisions in the heat of the moment and being aware of your emotions during a challenging choice.
Thoughts vs. Emotions: Delve into the connection between thoughts and emotions and how they influence your choices.
Handling Multiple Emotions: Find out how to acknowledge and embrace the complexity of having more than one emotion at a time.

Quotes

"When we take out the emotion, we neglect a huge part of what makes us feel satisfied with our choices and our lives."
"The key is not to eliminate emotion but to understand it and integrate it effectively."
"Acknowledging and understanding everything you’re feeling can help you make more balanced and true-to-self decisions."

[XO] The Labels We Identify With (And Why They Matter)

Season 3 · Episode 7

Monday, January 22, 2024 • Duration 27:17

Have you ever felt confined by a label, whether self-imposed or given by others? Do terms like 'introvert,' 'perfectionist,' or even 'successful' resonate with you, but also feel limiting at times? We dissect how these labels, while sometimes validating, can also create unnecessary boundaries that restrict our growth and potential.

Discover the impact of positive labeling and how embracing new identities can lead to significant life changes. We discuss the science behind labeling theory, the brain's remarkable ability to rewire itself, and how adopting empowering labels can alter our thought patterns and self-esteem. Learn how shifting from 'I have to' to 'I get to' can transform your daily routine from a chore to an eagerly anticipated activity.

This episode is full of personal journey as well as a thoughtful guide to understanding and harnessing the labels that define us. Whether you're looking to break free from stereotypes, seek motivation for a new endeavor, or simply gain insights into your own identity, this conversation is for you.

[XO] The Accidental Heirloom: A Story Of Love, Loss and Legacy

Season 3 · Episode 5

Monday, November 27, 2023 • Duration 38:50

In this episode, I share with you a story that’s close to my heart – a story about an accidental family heirloom that's much more than just a piece of jewelry.

Today is all about a special necklace that's woven through the generations of my family. A history that is interconnected with my own, and hopefully with future generations. It's a symbol of love, a bridge between past and present, and a reminder of the laughter, tears and love that binds us.

This necklace isn’t just an accessory; it’s a storyteller, whispering tales of my family's love and strength and the bonds that have shaped who I am.

As you listen, think about the stories that live within your own family. Maybe it’s a recipe, a photograph, or an old letter. Like our necklace, these are more than objects; they’re the threads that connect us to our past and guide us into our future.

I hope this episode inspires you to explore the depths of your own family history and the beauty of living intentionally. It's about finding meaning in the little things and understanding how our roots influence our wings.

So grab a cozy spot and join me. Let's discover together how our families, in all their ups and downs, shape our paths and how we can honour their legacy in our daily lives.

[XO] How to talk to your kids about gender and sexuality

Season 3 · Episode 1

Monday, October 2, 2023 • Duration 37:16

How do I talk to my kids about gender and sexuality? This episode is for parents who want to have open conversations with their kids, but may not know how to facilitate that communication, who may have some discomfort around discussing sensitive topics, and who want more information about navigating this part of parenting.

If you want to show up for your kids in an open and intentional way, but feel uncomfortable talking about sex, gender and sexuality, this episode is for you. In this video, we talk about starting these conversations, staying open without projecting biases, teaching consent and boundaries, sex education and even addressing the often-overlooked aspects from a healthcare perspective. These topics can feel uncomfortable but they are a necessary and important part of parenting, and also of the human experience. As parents, teachers and trusted adults, we need to be able to navigate uncomfortable conversations. So grab a cozy seat, because this isn't just an interview. It's a narrative style, storytelling episode with voices from real people, experts and parents.
