29 - Hero Study: Frodo Baggins

For this month's hero's study, I look at Frodo Baggins from The Lord of the Rings. He's a bit of a controversial character in terms of a hero, but he still has heroic qualities that are worth looking into, especially his perseverance.

28 - What is Love?

What is love? No, I'm not talking about the song by Haddaway or TWICE. In recognition of Valentine's Day this next week and the many conversations I have with clients about this topic, let's talk about love and what it is.
Here's a brief rundown. There are seven different kinds of love according to the Greek language, but we're looking at three of them because that was all I found when I was looking up this information while recording:
Eros - Romantic love
Philia - Love among friends
Agape - Unconditional love
There are also 8 types of love according to Robert Sternberg's Triangular Theory of Love that are based on the three vertices of passion, intimacy, and commitment:
Non-love - None of the three are represented
Infatuation - Only passion is present
Liking - Only Intimacy is present
Empty Love - Only commitment is present
Romantic Love - Passion and intimacy
Fatuous Love - Passion and commitment
Companionate Love - Intimacy and commitment
Consummate Love - Passion, intimacy, and commitment

27 -What Story Are You Telling

Let's talk about the stories that we tell ourselves. In a recent visit to the dentist, and thanks to Kristin Hanggi and Natalie Roy of the CREATE Podcast, I became more aware of some of the stories I was telling myself that were setting me up for more negative experiences. Even words or statements that appear innocuous can have an impact on how we navigate our lives and stories.

26 - Love Yourself

In my experience personally and working with others, one of the aspects of our lives that many of us struggle with is loving ourselves. With statements like "I'm my own worst critic," to the hurtful messages we use to reinforce our negative core beliefs, today I want us to work to change that. Let's try loving ourselves and being our most stalwart supporter!

25 - Hero Study: Juror #8

For this month's hero study we're looking at Juror #8 from the play 12 Angry Juror (or 12 Angry Men). This is a character I knew nothing about until seeing the play in the fall of 2023 and I quite enjoyed the integrity of this character. It's my hope you find him as inspiring as I did.

Dreams are a driving force for us every day. They help us to aspire to greatness or achieve new heights in our jobs, relationships, and community. What if our dreams are too tame? What if we're looking to the future with too small of a lens that we are missing a much larger picture? Today, let's talk about our dreams.

20 - Sticks and Stones

Sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never hurt me. Ever heard this statement? It's not true as the words others say to us have a definitive and lasting impact on us and our lives. Let's look into what happens and what we can do to address the words that have harmed us.
