We Go Boldly Podcast

“Hope is a function of struggle.” - Brene Brown “The struggle is real.”  We see this in social media, on mugs, on t-shirts.  It’s overused and often shows a lack of understanding of actual struggle.   In this episode we dig deep into the concept of true struggle and our need for empathy.  When we ask “How are you?” we need to really mean it.  Beyond individually, empathy is necessary in order for...

Welcome to Episode 3 of Season 3 on We Go Boldly, and today we are talking about Nice versus Kind. We are looking closely at how to create a more empathetic society by taking a hard look at our own understanding and application of niceness and kindness. Niceness is usually transactional in nature. Nice people do things for people with the expectation that we will get something in return, or that w...

Maya Angelou once said, "I think we all have empathy. We may not have enough courage to display it." Join us this week as we dig deep into empathy.  As always we start with the definition of empathy and why we find it so important.  We look at empathy from both the individual perspective and the greater societal perspective.  It matters in situations both large and small.  Not ones to sh...

Today we recap and review how far we have come.  Season one was a look at all the tools we need for this limitless life.  By the time we reached season two we were ready to dig in the dirt.   True authentic living takes courageous living.  Being vulnerable is scary and we need to be brave.  Whether it’s feeling our feelings, practicing gratitude, or failing and rising up, it all takes courage. In...

“Connection is the experience of oneness. It’s having shared experiences, relatable feelings, or similar ideas. It is the feeling of belonging to something greater than oneself.” We are back with part two of our conversation on connection. Life, parenthood, schooling, career, marriage, can make it hard to keep the sense of connection between body, mind, and spirit.  Life becomes a series of check...

“When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world.” -John Muir This week we kick off part one of our two part conversation on connection. Our connection to mind, body and spirit guides us.  As humans we need to feel a sense of connection to something, whether it is a larger universe, God, the Earth, other people or something unique. This need relates to belo...

In this week’s episode we are talking about authenticity and living an authentic life. When we live an authentic life our actions and words, and our beliefs and values act in alignment. In order to achieve this kind of alignment we have to do the hard work of understanding ourselves first. When we are able to tune in to our inner voice, understand our purpose, hear our deeper selves then we can co...

EPISODE 20: LETTING GO SO WE CAN LIVE “To let go does not mean to get rid of. To let go means to let be. When we let be with compassion, things come and go on their own.” –Jack Kornfield On today’s episode we talk about letting go and surrendering.  What do we need to let go?  Outcomes? Control?  Other People?   We try to control things because of what we think will happen if we don’t. In other wo...

This week we talk all about failure and how it’s not such a bad thing.  It's true that you risk failure if you try something bold because you might miss it. But you also risk failure if you stand still and don't try anything new..   Embrace adversity and make failure a regular part of your life. If you're not failing, you're probably not really moving forward. The less you venture out, the greater...

Today we dive into a topic that is near and dear to both our hearts.  We have both dealt with and continue to deal with perfectionism in our lives and like to think of ourselves as recovering perfectionists.    Perfectionism is not is not striving for excellence. Perfectionism is not self-improvement.  Despite that we see the desire to be perfect can often overtake other goals. Tune in today to he...

Belonging is the innate human desire to be part of something larger than us. Because this yearning is so primal, we often try to acquire it by fitting in and by seeking approval, which are not only hollow substitutes for belonging, but often barriers to it. Because true belonging only happens when we present our authentic, imperfect selves to the world, our sense of belonging can never be greater...

This week we tackle setting boundaries.  Setting boundaries is the key to being able to be your most authentic self and live a truly limitless life.  Boundaries aren’t just a sign of a healthy relationship; they’re a sign of self-respect. So give yourself the permission to set boundaries and work to preserve them. It’s important for all of us to have personal boundaries. They dictate how we approa...

Women are taught from early on that anger is ugly and inappropriate.  Certainly not ladylike.  On this week’s episode we take a close look at what it means to be angry as a woman, as a parent, as a member of our society.   We discuss what we were told about anger as children and how that influenced how we showed ourselves to the world.  Suppressing anger can be dangerous, both to an individual and...

Today we talk about gratitude.  We hear a lot about gratitude in the world, whether it is a gratitude journal or the concept of practicing gratitude.  We take a deep dive to look at what gratitude truly is and why it is good for us. Gratitude is not the same as toxic positivity or finding a silver lining.  Gratitude involves noticing the goodness in the world, but it doesn’t mean being blind to th...

In today’s episode we ask you, where do you find your connection?  We ask you this because in order to hear your inner voice and connect to your authentic self you are often required to find the silence and shut out the noise.  Silence is what allows you to hear yourself more clearly and to hear the world around you.  As you search for silence you may find that your mind is more cluttered than you...
