    Podcast Summary

    • Deploy Curiosity Instead of DismissivenessInstead of reacting dismissively to misunderstandings or disagreements, ask questions to clarify perspective and intentions to build stronger relationships

      Instead of reacting with a dismissive "no" when encountering misunderstandings or disagreements, it's more productive to deploy curiosity. Kate Cocker, from the Volley Network, shared her personal experience of frequently misunderstanding people and causing tension as a result. She realized that her instinct to say "no" was a pattern that needed to be broken. Curiosity, according to Kate, is an effective tool for clarifying misunderstandings and fostering empathy. By asking "why," "what," "how," and other questions, we can gain a better understanding of the other person's perspective and intentions. This can help prevent arguments and miscommunications, especially in professional settings where misinterpretations can lead to serious consequences. Moreover, in today's world where we are expected to know so much about each other, curiosity can help bridge gaps in understanding. It's easy to assume that we know what someone means, but without asking for clarification, we may miss important nuances. So, the next time you find yourself in a situation where you're not fully understanding someone, try deploying curiosity instead of reacting with a dismissive "no." Ask questions to clarify their perspective and intentions, and be open to the answers you receive. By doing so, you'll be able to give what you want to give more effectively and build stronger, more meaningful relationships.

    2064 Hugs from Home

    Life is stressful enough. Add a few kids and let the party begin. Discipline, arguments, crabbiness, oh my! What everyone needs are hugs from home.

    Raising a family is a challenge. All the different personalities light up the home. But it also brings about tension and lots of smiles.

    Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACThttp://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT

    Talk about a disconnect. If you don't have a sense of humor, you'll drive yourself crazy.

    But regardless of all these challenges, it's easy to forget the need for attention. And not just the whiney-type attention. It's the "notice me because I'm me"!

    As much as parents think they are giving what the kiddos need, we have a tendency to forget the value of empowerment, encouragement, and hope.

    We leave out the most natural action; affection.

    And no, not that lovey, dovey stuff. It's all about the good ole fashion hugs.

    The K.I.S.S. ~ Give hugs from home!

    Your children need a hug from mom and dad. And not because of a finished project, an "A" in school, or the winning goal at the game.

    Your children need you to love them because they are yours.

    1. LIFT your child up because you can.
    2. LOVE unconditionally.
    3. LEVEL the playing field. Don't give affection based on results.

    Your hugs from home are the best. No one can give better ones.

    "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"

    1673 To Have and To Hold

    1673 To Have and To Hold

    The lifetime commitment to have and to hold from this day forward is a vow of unending love. However, how much of this vow stays true when life isn't always what's expected?

    It's easy to get wrapped up in what the world says is right. Can you even remember the vows in your wedding?

    Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT

    Some people write theirs, others use a more traditional approach.

    Yesterday, I was quickly reminded of that pure bliss while sitting in the DMV of all places. Time to get a driver's permit for our youngest and an intermediate license for our next to youngest.

    The sweet couple had "young love" written all over their faces. The groom said with a great big grin, "Today, you get to change your name officially."

    The bride so giddy couldn't help but lean in for a kiss as she tucked away the paperwork showing their marriage.

    The whole time together, their focus was on each other. Much was going on around them, but they did not get distracted. Their eyes and conversation were held close to each others' hearts.

    In those minutes of watching "young love" blossom before me, I was quickly reminded how fragile our relationships are.

    At one minute we are consumed with all of our love. But the next, can lead us down the path of distraction or disappointment.

    Most of which is the difference of being wrapped up in the world or wrapped up in each other.

    If you want your marriage to sizzle for years, you have to wrap yourself up in each other!

    The K.I.S.S. ~ Wrap yourself in each other!

    Your eyes can't wonder side to side and be distracted by what the world is offering. When you're together, you need to be together consumed by the love for your spouse.

    Yet we get super busy, and even in the privacy of our homes, we take our spouse for granted. We assume he/she will be around always.

    However, if we do not wrap ourselves up in each other, it makes it easier to grow apart as the years pass.

    So how can you wrap yourself in each other?

    1. Keep your love focused. Don't get distracted by the noise of the world.
    2. Keep your love fresh. Make time for "just the two of us"
    3. Keep your love young. Always learn something new about your spouse at least weekly.

    To have and to hold from this day forward is a beautiful commitment. And that beautiful commitment requires you to take A.I.M.

    CHALLENGE: How can you wrap yourself in your spouse?

    "Live. Love. IMPACT!!!"

    1648 Grace and Glory!

    1648 Grace and Glory!

    Sometimes in life, taking a deep breath allows us to realize the grace and glory before us. You must slow down in order to speed up.

    Living life in the fast lane only goes fast for so long. At some point, a detour occurs, or worse yet, you run out of gas. No more fuel for your busyness or chaos.

    Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact

    So why do you keep trying to do the impossible?

    Remember that point where a detour occurs or you run out of gas? Well you don't want to get to that point at all.

    Because when you do, it comes with a cost.

    You see, everyone is searching for freedom. But we have to understand that there is a cost to everything in life.

    It doesn't matter if you are an infant, a second-grader, or the CEO of a top Fortune 100 Company. There is a cost to absolutely everything.

    Love has a cost. Success has a cost. Failure has a cost. Hope has a cost.

    But one thing that's forgotten is grace and glory.

    Grace is a gift. And the glory that comes from grace is given to God.

    So why do you keep running faster and faster?

    Your heart only becomes heavy and disheartened. You look for an escape, but the one thing still missing is grace and glory.

    "For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD will give grace and glory; no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless. O LORD Almighty, blessed is the man who trusts in you!" Psalm 84:11-12

    How much of your trust is being given to the wrong person or activity? Relying on another flawed human being is a recipe for disaster.

    Don't fret what you can't control.

    The K.I.S.S. ~ Grace and glory!

    A gift for you.

    And the awesome benefit is those whose walk is blameless, the good is present.

    God is there to protect and guard you. He is the sun and shield.

    So why are you putting your trust in outcomes you can't control?

    Why are you questioning what to do when God has already given you an answer?

    Grace and glory!

    One cannot be separated from the other. It a packaged deal in your every day.

    Think of it as Prime Day, every day! If Amazon can have an incredible deal, I promise God can top any prime deal.

    Instead of flying through your day haphazardly, put your trust in God. Don't back down because you don't have the answer you're looking for.

    Keep going through the doors God opens, and be grateful for the ones He closes. Life is a series of moments strung together to create your now.

    Yesterday is gone, and tomorrow isn't guaranteed. But you have today, so celebrate indeed. The opportunity to live, love, and impact are in your heart.

    Grace and glory!

    "Trust in the Lord with all your heart! God's got you!!"
