    Podcast Summary

    • Embracing Extended Travels and Quality ExperiencesDespite jet lag and extended travels, enjoy quality experiences and relationships over quantity, even if it means being away from loved ones or using services like Bumble and Squarespace.

      The speaker is currently experiencing jet lag and extending her travels instead of returning home to Los Angeles, while ensuring her cats are taken care of. She emphasizes the importance of enjoying experiences and quality over quantity, even if it means being away from loved ones for an extended period. The speaker also mentions her current topic, which is the value of quality over quantity in life. Additionally, she promotes Haagen Dazs' new Dulce de Leche bar, Bumble for finding compatible relationships, and Squarespace for creating effective websites. Despite the distractions, she encourages listeners to imagine her recording in the midst of a motocross race for a more exciting experience. Overall, the speaker's message emphasizes the importance of focusing on quality experiences and relationships, even if it means sacrificing quantity or convenience.

    • Quality over quantity in relationships and projectsChoosing a few high-quality friends or focusing on one challenging project leads to greater personal growth and fulfillment than spreading ourselves too thin with multiple mediocre options.

      While having a lot of things or people in our lives may seem beneficial, it's important to remember that quality often outweighs quantity. This applies to various aspects of life, such as friendships and projects. Choosing to have a few high-quality friends or focusing on one challenging project can lead to greater personal growth and fulfillment than spreading ourselves too thin with multiple mediocre options. It may be uncomfortable to let go of quantity in favor of quality, but the long-term benefits are worth it. Ultimately, it's essential to prioritize what truly matters and invest our time and energy into those areas, even if it means making sacrifices in other areas.

    • Focusing on fewer things can lead to greater gainsFocusing on one challenging endeavor at a time can result in higher quality outcomes and reduced stress

      Focusing on a few advanced classes or creative projects at the expense of spreading yourself too thin can lead to decreased learning and increased stress. Instead, dedicating your full energy to one challenging endeavor can result in greater gains and a higher quality outcome. This philosophy also applies to other areas of life, such as social interactions, where prioritizing quality over quantity can lead to more meaningful and fulfilling experiences. It's important to remember that sometimes less is more, and by focusing on one thing at a time, you can put your all into it and reap the rewards.

    • Prioritize positivity and self-careFocus on relationships and activities that bring joy and eliminate those that don't, investing in meaningful connections and personal growth.

      It's important to prioritize relationships and activities that bring positivity and fulfillment into your life. The speaker shares how they learned to stop spending time with people who don't make them feel good, and instead focus on self-care and nurturing meaningful relationships. This decision was initially uncomfortable, but ultimately led to increased happiness and stronger relationships. It's okay to eliminate people from your life who don't serve a positive purpose, and it's essential to recognize that your time and energy are valuable. This approach allows you to invest more in the relationships that truly matter and prioritize activities that emotionally fulfill you.

    • Reducing Anxiety with Fewer Material Possessions and User-Friendly WebsitesMinimizing material possessions and creating a user-friendly website can help reduce anxiety and stress, leading to a more positive experience for both entrepreneurs and customers.

      Having an overwhelming amount of things, whether it's clothes or material possessions, can lead to anxiety and stress. A good example is a website that is not user-friendly, which can deter potential customers. To avoid this, entrepreneurs can use platforms like Squarespace to create professional and seamless websites. Similarly, having a minimal wardrobe with reliable and good-quality items can help reduce anxiety and make getting dressed easier. In the end, less can be more when it comes to material possessions and creating a positive user experience.

    • Quality over quantity: Make the most of life's experiencesFocus on high-quality items and relationships for meaningful experiences, rather than accumulating excess.

      Focusing on quality over quantity can lead to more meaningful experiences in various aspects of life, including clothing and relationships. The speaker emphasizes the importance of having a few high-quality items that are reliable, comfortable, and make you feel good, rather than having a large collection of random items. Similarly, spending quality time with people involves fully dedicating your attention to them and making the most of the time spent together. By prioritizing quality over quantity, we can reduce excess, feel less overwhelmed, and make the most of our resources and relationships.

    • Intentionality and quality in relationshipsFocus on forming meaningful, intentional relationships both online and offline, rather than quantity.

      Both in-person relationships and social media interactions require intentionality and quality over quantity. When it comes to social media, it's essential to consider personal preferences and the potential impact on mental health. Consistently posting every little detail may hinder living in the moment. Instead, focus on sharing the best and most exciting experiences. Similarly, forming quality friendships is not an easy task. Clicking with someone is not something we can control, but understanding ourselves and what we need in a friendship is crucial. Nurturing these relationships takes time, energy, and dedication from both parties. Finding quality friends may involve some loneliness, but the reward is worth the effort. In summary, prioritize intentionality and quality in all relationships, whether in-person or online.

    • Quality over quantity in friendships and possessionsFocus on meaningful connections and invest in good quality items for longevity and satisfaction, while also prioritizing mental health and affordable options for high-quality items.

      Quality matters over quantity, whether it's about friendships or material possessions. In the realm of friendships, it's essential to let go of toxic relationships and focus on building meaningful connections. When it comes to items like jewelry, shoes, or clothes, investing in good quality pieces is worth it as they last longer and provide greater satisfaction. This concept applies to various aspects of life, including social interactions and material possessions. Additionally, taking care of one's mental health is crucial, and therapy can help individuals find their social sweet spot. Lastly, shopping at places like Walmart offers affordable options for high-quality items, allowing individuals to upgrade their style without breaking the bank.

    • Invest in items that last and align with your needs and preferences, not just their price tagFocus on quality over quantity by investing in items that last and truly meet your needs, regardless of their cost

      Quality doesn't always mean the most expensive option. While it's important to invest in items that last, it's not necessary to spend a fortune to get good quality. Instead, focus on finding pieces that meet your needs and that you genuinely like, regardless of their price tag. This applies to various aspects of life, including relationships and friendships. It's essential to surround yourself with positive influences and prioritize your time and energy accordingly. When it comes to buying things, remember that quality over quantity is a subjective concept, and the best choice depends on your individual circumstances and preferences.

    • Finding joy in hobbies without pressureInstead of focusing on quantity, prioritize quality in hobbies and other aspects of life to find true joy and fulfillment.

      When it comes to hobbies, there are no rules. The goal is to find what brings you excitement and inspiration in the moment. Don't put pressure on yourself to have a specific structure or quantity. Quality over quantity also applies to other areas of life, such as friendships and possessions. However, it's easy to get caught up in the desire for excess and abundance. Eventually, this can lead to unhappiness and a loss of connection to yourself. It's important to recognize when this is happening and make a change. As you grow older and gain more opportunities for excess, you may come to realize that quality truly is over quantity. So, focus on what truly brings you joy and fulfillment, rather than trying to have it all.

    Let Them Bounce (Season 4, Episode 36)

    How many times do we try to coax our children out of their raging emotions simply because it doesn’t work in our own schedule?  As we talk about building resilience, it’s important to recognize that in order to bounce back, you have to be able to fall.  You can’t navigate emotions you aren’t allowed to feel.

    The definition of resilience means we are able to bounce back – but that means we have to feel the fall first.  Remember empathy.   You may not feel the same extreme response, and it may be insignificant to you, but it’s not for your child.

    Go back to Episode 33 for more of a refresher on Empathy.

    Allow for Space

    Give your children space to process and navigate through what they are feeling, without rushing in to their aide right away. 

    Resilience doesn’t come when we don’t allow our children to process. If you want your child to be resilient, you have to allow them the opportunity to experience the emotion and get through it.

    allow space, building resilience, resilience in kids, resilience in childrenWhen your child falls, how do you respond?  Do you rush to scoop them up and “fix” it?  Do you give them space to figure out their own reaction?

    Jules knew I wouldn’t leave her. I don’t play that game. She knew I was watching out for her – that’s why she was working it so hard. But the attention she got was pity from strangers. This did her no good, and, quite honestly, really pissed her off.  Her angst turned to anger as others tried to make her smile. She wasn’t ready to smile, and she didn’t appreciate being told how to feel (hmm, can you relate?)

    How many times do we try to coax our children out of their raging emotions simply because it doesn’t work into our own schedule?

    CLICK TO TWEET

    Instead of feeling resentment about the time it's taking up, set a simple timer.  Just having five minutes to process can be plenty of time for a child to come full circle.  And when you put it into perspective that it's only five minutes, it's not as big of a deal for you to make space for that.

    When Do We Allow Big Emotion?

    allow space, building resilience, resilience in kids, resilience in childrenThere is definitely a time and a place for a meltdown…and yet, when do we assure our kids that yes, right now is when they can absolutely lose their cool and collapse? Most likely that doesn’t happen. We see raging emotions and we nip it in the bud.

    Don’t cry. Don’t rage. You’re okay. That didn’t hurt. You are resilient.

    When I’m coaching, there are times I work with families who have never experienced actually going through those big emotions.  They’ve rushed to support to the point that a child doesn’t know how to navigate anything on their own.  Or a parent has stifled their own emotions for so long they aren’t sure how to model resilience.  Other times, it may be that the big emotions are so large that there is no getting off of it, and the whole family is getting seasick from the constant waves of large emotions. 

    What is big in their world may seem insignificant to you, but to them…it’s everything.

    If It’s Important To You…

    My mother has a plaque she created to go with her “Creating a Haven of Peace” book that says “If it’s important to you, it’s important to me.” This was a big thing for me growing up. She validated me in my emotions no matter how ridiculous they may have appeared. She met me where I was and helped me ride out the storm.

    So Jules was upset. In her world, this burden of walking on her own two legs was just too much for her to carry. I could have forced her to “buck up” and put a smile on her face. But how easy is it for you to force a change in emotions just like that? This kiddo was four.

    So she sulked. She moped, acted out the most extreme of sadness and rejection, dragged her feet and lagged further and further behind.

    And I stood strong. I had eyes on her, alright, but I made it clear that I was going to move forward and get that shopping done, and that I’d love for her to join me when she was ready. She’s resilient. I knew she’d come to me when she was ready.

    Compare it to riding a pony - they have to ride it with respect and not let it get out of control or it's dangerous.  Can they do that with their emotions?  We'll reference getting back on that pony and riding it - because it's a beautiful ride. Allow for grace as well - point out when someone is having an emotional meltdown and look for where you feel empathy.  We all have our ups and downs.

    The Sun Will Shine Again

    Allow your children to weather their own storms.

     Give them a safe place to process, and help them navigate how to handle their emotions in an effective way. Letting children 

    feel and process doesn’t mean you have to tolerate a temper tantrum every five minutes.

    allow space, building resilience, resilience in kids, resilience in children

    It’s a lot easier to try and control anger and sadness when it’s something we deem as petty. Not being carried or getting a toy is no big deal in our world. But how do we have those same children “buck up” when parents divorce, or their dog is hit by a car? These are legitimate emotions that we can’t just take away or erase. They have to be able to navigate through them. And the best way to do it is to learn in those seemingly “petty” situations.

    Helpful Tips For Big Emotions:

    Here are some tips we’ve used:

    • It’s okay to be angry or sad – but if that anger and sadness escalates to screams that make people cringe, that’s not okay. You can feel your feelings – but do not force it on others. (reminder – what you do impacts others – respect their ears).  Click here for our family vision. 

    • Angry Scribbles: When you are angry, create an angry scribble drawing. This is fun for kids of all ages – just scribble it all out – bright colors, harsh lines…it helps!

    • Journal – write out every emotion in a big brain dump. It’s better to get it out than keep it in.  *Do NOT send a letter/text/email in the intensity of anger.  It takes away so many elements to just have the written word, and it can come back to haunt you.

    • Take some alone time. Sit with your feelings. Go for a walk (or a run). Give space.

    • Listen to music – find a song that fits your feeling. Then find a different song and see how that makes you feel.

    • Pay attention to others – what emotion are they feeling? How are they handling it? Observe what others do.

    • Practice makes “perfect.” None of us are ever going to be truly perfect. But the more we practice navigating our emotions, the more we are able to weather the ups and downs of life.

    Emotions are a significant part of who we are. ALL emotions are valid, and they all have their place in this complex brain that makes us human. So let your children feel, experience, process and move on. Allow them to learn how to be resilient.

    How do you foster resilience in your children?

    Read all of Juliet’s story in this blog post:  Foster Resilience

    Your Challenge This Week: The next time your child has an extreme emotion, take that teachable moment - not just for them, but for you.  Step back and see how they shine. See if they can comfort themselves, resolve that fight, or shift that attitude on their own, when given the space to do so.  You may learn your child is much more resilient than you give them credit for.

    How Minimalism Can Change Your Life || The Minimalists

    How Minimalism Can Change Your Life || The Minimalists

    Today we welcome Joshua Fields Millburn, Ryan Nicodemus, and T.K. Coleman, known collectively as The Minimalists. Joshua and Ryan are Emmy-nominated Netflix stars and New York Times–bestselling authors. Alongside their podcast co-host, T.K., they help millions of people live meaningful lives with less. The Minimalists have been featured in Time, Architectural Digest, and GQ, and they have spoken at Harvard, Apple, and Google. Their podcast has more than 100 million downloads, making it one of the most popular podcasts in the world.

    In this episode I talk to Joshua, Ryan, and T.K. about minimalism. All too often, we are preoccupied with amassing wealth and possessions in an attempt to fill the void. Soon, we find that accumulating stuff doesn’t make us feel whole. Instead of turning to objects, the minimalists ask us to ponder “How do we live more with less?” When we can get rid of clutter in our homes, digital spaces, and relationships, we make room for what’s truly important. Joshua, Ryan, and T.K. talk about how minimalism has changed their lives, allowing them to feel more content, mindful, and generous.
