    Friday Five: Wisdom from Brené Brown and Valentine's Day recipes

    enFebruary 14, 2020

    Podcast Summary

    • Transforming pain and addressing conflictsAddressing unresolved issues and conflicts is vital for personal growth and healthy relationships. Unresolved pain can negatively impact others and lead to inner turmoil. Modeling healthy behavior is essential for teaching children boundaries.

      Dealing with pain and conflicts in life is essential for personal growth and maintaining healthy relationships. According to psychologist Brené Brown, pain that is not transformed is transmitted, meaning that unresolved issues can negatively impact others if not addressed. Additionally, avoiding conflicts to maintain peace with others can lead to inner turmoil. It's crucial to transform pain and address conflicts to ensure peace within oneself and in relationships. Furthermore, children learn boundaries based on how adults handle them, making it essential for adults to model healthy behavior. Regarding the businesses mentioned, 1800flowers.com is more than just a gift-giving destination; it's a company that puts heart into everything they do to help customers celebrate life's special moments. PlushCare offers online access to board-certified physicians who can prescribe weight loss medications, making it a convenient option for those looking to start their weight loss journey. Lastly, during her podcast, the host shared insights from Brené Brown's work, emphasizing the importance of addressing pain and conflicts to maintain peace within oneself and in relationships.

    • Modeling healthy communication skills for childrenOur actions and words shape our children's understanding of acceptable behavior. By setting healthy boundaries and modeling positive communication, we can create a loving and respectful home environment.

      Our children learn how to set boundaries and handle difficult situations by observing how we handle such situations at home. If we allow rude or abusive behavior to go unchecked, we risk passing on the message that such behavior is acceptable. It's important to call out such behavior and model healthy communication skills instead. On a lighter note, Valentine's Day is a time for love and romance. For those celebrating, there are some delicious and romantic meal ideas and recipes available on the LYZAL Well-being Magazine website. One of the author's favorites is a ginger nut lime pie, but finding palm oil-free ginger nuts for the recipe has proven to be a challenge. If you have any suggestions, please leave a comment on the author's Instagram feed. Overall, it's important to remember that our actions and words have an impact on those around us, especially our children. By setting healthy boundaries and modeling positive behavior, we can help create a loving and respectful home environment. And whether you're celebrating Valentine's Day or not, taking time to enjoy the little things in life, like a delicious dessert or a beach holiday, can bring joy and happiness.

    • Exploring activism and consumer issues on social media and streaming platformsFollow activists and pressure groups on Twitter, engage with brands, learn about industry issues through Netflix shows, access telehealth services for weight loss, and find convenient Mother's Day deals from retailers.

      Social media platforms like Twitter can be a source of information and engagement with various topics, including activism and consumer issues. For instance, Lizelle Me, who was discussed in the podcast, uses Twitter to follow activists and pressure groups, and even had an interaction with the avocados from Mexico account. Additionally, there are informative series on streaming platforms like Netflix that delve deeper into the issues behind certain products, such as the water use and politics in the avocado industry, as explored in the series "Rotten." Another key takeaway is the availability of telehealth services like PlushCare, which can help individuals in their weight loss journey with FDA-approved medications and insurance coverage. Lastly, shopping for Mother's Day gifts can be made convenient and special with deals from retailers like Whole Foods Market, offering discounts on body care items, flowers, and desserts.

    • Impress your date with small details and save money with home manicure systemsSmall details like using a tablecloth and presenting food with heavy cutlery can enhance meal quality. Home manicure systems like Olive and June cost $2 per use, dry quickly, last 5 days, and provide full coverage. Belief in higher cost can increase enjoyment.

      Small details, such as using a tablecloth or presenting food with heavy cutlery, can significantly enhance the perceived quality of a meal and impress your date. Additionally, investing in a home manicure system like Olive and June can save you money and time while providing salon-worthy results. The manicure system, which costs approximately $2 per manicure, dries quickly, lasts for five days, and provides full coverage in one to two coats. For those looking to improve their cooking skills and try new recipes, the Lazar Well-being website offers a wide range of handpicked, categorized recipes, including sugar-free options. Research also suggests that the belief that food or wine costs more can lead to increased enjoyment and pleasure.

    It Takes A Village

    It Takes A Village

    "It takes a village to raise a child but it also takes one to raise a mom."  Unkown

    The above quote is everything!  We have all heard the very famous African proverb "It takes a village to raise a child."  Do you know why it's so important to create a village and community around you?  This parenting thing isn't easy and you are not alone sister! Come hang out and lets talk about all the things.

    (Matt Monday): “Bad Texter” or Just Not That Into You?

    (Matt Monday): “Bad Texter” or Just Not That Into You?

    Few things can match the heady exhilaration of dating someone and building momentum through regular texting and a sense of closeness.

    But what about when the texting on their end is . . . kind of slow and intermittent . . . where there are big gaps in your text exchanges that leave you feeling unsure as to where, exactly, you stand with that person?

    Feeling this way might even lead you to start analyzing their relationship with their phone the next time you’re with them, looking for clues as to whether their sporadic phone usage is consistent in their life or reserved just for you.

    At some point, they might’ve even shared a generic line with you like, “I’m so rubbish with my phone,” or “I’m really bad at replying to people!” But is this really true?

    In this week’s video, I not only answer these questions, but I dig into a really common mistake people make in this area.

    960 The Voice of Truth

    960 The Voice of Truth

    In your life, where does the voice of truth come from? Whose whispers gain your greatest attention?

    Maybe it's the constant failures and short-comings.

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

    Maybe it's the faults of your past. 

    Maybe it's your own belief that you're never good enough.

    Why is it that we hang out with our stumbles and failures questioning our worth?

    Never once did God hesitate when He created you; fearfully and wonderfully made, knowing every hair on your head.

    Yet where is the voice of truth?

    Is it the naysayers, the badgers, the mockers? Is that where your voice of truth is being solidified and defined?

    I want you to really think about whom you are putting your trust in.

    The K.I.S.S. ~ The Voice of Truth!

    REFLECTION: Today, I want you to reflect on these three questions.

    1. Where is the voice of truth coming from?
    2. What is the voice of truth telling you?
    3. How are you using the voice of truth in your life?

    If you are hearing God, the only voice of truth, then you know you are loved, given a gift of salvation, and grace for your life's journey.

    That's the voice of truth you need to be listening to.

    Not the negative CRAP, the doubts and drama of others, and not the daily sagas of self-centered mindsets. 

    It's all about control, earthly control. What happened to Heavenly control?

    Let God wash away the torment of lies that threaten your greatness He's creating within you.

    Let it go! Let God have it all!

    Give Him your heart.
    Dedicate your life to glorify Him.
    Rejoice with the voice of truth.

    As you go out this week...

    "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!"

    May God bless you this week in all your steps, in all your endeavors. Seek His guidance. Praise His name. The voice of truth!
