S7/E20: How does PERMISSION impact how we show up in community

Monthly Topic: PERMISSIONToday we discuss 4 ways to give you permission to engage in your community in a healthy way. Our impacts are persistent and strong. We sometimes aren’t even aware of the ripple effect our words and behaviors have on our communities. Bandura’s Social Learning Theory shows how our behavioral modeling reinforces our community identity, de-escalates tension, and builds trust. We have permission to 1. Practice micro-gratitude; 2 & 3. Ask curious questions & prompts; and 4. Name your values and model them.

S7/E19: How does PERMISSION impact how we show up in close relationships?

Monthly Topic: PERMISSION This episode is for the ladies. Or, anyone who knows a lady! You see, women tend to withhold permission for themselves in five general areas: 1) to ask for what we need/want; 2) to hold boundaries in our close relationships; 3) change; 4) asking for help/space; and 5) to NOT identify as the caretaker in the relationship. Whew, these were some tough practices to discuss today, and to give ourselves permission to consider to NOT continue!

S7/E18: How does PERMISSION impact how we show up in faith?

Monthly Topic: PERMISSION We have Free Will. This means we have permission to choose: a life with God, or a life without God. Even if you choose a life with God, you will wrestle with all the rest of your choices … to allow God to be the leader of your life, or not. The Psalms especially are a detailed reflection of crying out to God - in victory, battle, fear, pain, love, defeat, joy, and … you name it! The Bible says Jesus stands at the door and knocks - and we choose to give permission to the God of the universe to enter our lives or not. Love cannot and will not be forced.

S7/E17: How does PERMISSION impact how we show up in the world?

Monthly Topic: PERMISSION In today’s episode, Jackie and Stacey identify and explore the originations of several social “schemas” we have adopted throughout our lives. These are societal or internal unwritten “rules” that we have been taught or learned along the way. We look at these so we can intentionally give ourselves PERMISSION to decide whether these rules still serve us, or PERMISSION to unlearn them!

S7/E16: How does LEGACY impact how we show up in community?

Monthly Topic: LEGACYOur communities are our neighborhoods, social groups, sports engagements, schools, workplaces, and common interest groups. We ask ourselves, “how does THIS (action /thought / behavior/ etc) contribute to my legacy?” We use this question to help mold how we make decisions now. In today’s episode we call out dozens of our community members, and the legacies we see them building by showing up and making small contributions that consistently build lasting impact. Thank you. We see you, we love you!
