Pam's interview with Trevor Dunn (her son) is full of valuable information on how to conquer stress, alleviate anxiety, restore order amidst turmoil, refine our mindset, gain mental clarity, and enhance decision making capacity.
Taking action is a prerequisite, so listen to Part 1 of this 3-part series and get started with actions that work.
Vulnerability is more natural than we realize. A life full of going for our dreams and having the relationships we desire, means that we will need to access our vulnerability. Let's normalize vulnerability and let's make it more natural.
We know it takes two to tango, but how much do we know about the delicate dance of interdependence? Pam speaks about the necessary and constant balancing act between dependence and independence that we all navigate throughout our lives.
Are you pushing through and efforting when really you need a break? Pam emphasizes why it’s vital to pause and rest and reminds us of the immense wisdom and creativity that comes from slowing down.
Do you hold the common belief that hard work is more valuable than rest? Pam reflects on her past relationship to “hard work” and shares new beliefs around fulfillment, purpose, and presence.
Have you ever listened to what was being said without considering the who and the why? Pam shares wisdom gained about the importance of holistic listening from a place of patience, curiosity, and care.
Feelings of discomfort often coexist with conflict, but does that mean there has to be resolution? Pam reveals why living in a society hooked on “conflict-resolution” does little to spark curiosity, facilitate personal growth, or support self-reflection.
Do you confuse belonging with fitting in? Pam urges us to broaden our perspective of “belonging” with the loving reminder that “you belong wherever you’re willing to risk being seen”.
Candles and baths can be gratifying forms of self care, but what if we thought about it more holistically? Pam provides tools and insights about caring for ourselves mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically.
Do you know the difference between being grounded versus being centered? Pam shares examples of how to identify both and speaks to the indispensable value of feeling and listening to ourselves.
How often do you truly listen to yourself and others? Pam reminds us that it’s never too late to start listening better, more effectively, and more curiously.
Do you have enough self trust to put your trust in others? Pam reveals the importance of self trust as a way to cultivate our sense of accountability, intuition, compassion, and boundary setting.
When someone you care about is suffering, is your automatic response to try and fix it? Pam speaks to the deep tenderness we can access within ourselves to hold space for suffering.
Does hearing the word “meditation” immediately invoke visions of crossed legs and closed eyes? Pam speaks about alternative opportunities for meditation in everyday activities and the wisdom we find when we slow down, get still, and listen.
What’s the secret to aging gracefully? Pam speaks to Mary Ann Patterson about the value of curiosity, movement, acceptance, and human connection at any age.
Mary Ann Patterson is my Mom! She has approached so much of life with grace and I have learned so much from watching her navigate aging. Mary Ann is the matriarch of our family of 5 siblings, 7 children, 2 sons-in-law, 3 daughters-in-law, 19 grandchildren, 13 great grandchildren, 9 nieces and nephews. Her wisdom is shared in every word.
Do you know that your sensitivity is your superpower? Pam speaks about the wisdom of investigating your internal experience in order to connect back to the true essence of who you really are.
Have you ever felt lost in a position of leadership? Pam speaks to Erik Lingvall about the unexpected gifts to be gleaned when we can assess, adapt, and advance in the midst of life’s challenges.
Erik Lingvall is the Founder and Chief Talent Thrower for Catapult Acting Studio in Atlanta, GA. His ability to focus on the positive, stay grounded in reality, and create change is nothing short of magnificent! Erik reminds us that leading ourselves in our lives through new challenges will help build us in ways that serve us for years to come.
Change is often out of our control, but what if we can work with it, rather than against it? Pam speaks to Susie Walton about embracing the changes life throws our way with resilience, presence and acceptance.
Susie Walton has so much experience with change in personal and professional aspects. She is a parenting expert and co-hosts a podcast called, Raising Athletes, that speaks to her wisdom as well. Susie brings the concept of delight and acceptance to change.
Are you listening to the signals your body is giving you? Pam speaks to Lesley Hoffman about the important practice of tuning into your body and the considerable mental and physical health benefits of doing so.
Lesley Hoffman is a Certified Yoga Teacher, former writer for an advertising agency, and has facilitated the Community in Unity Program at the elementary school level for Peaceful Project. Her vast knowledge and wisdom about the way our bodies talk to us is why we can more easily access what it really means to tune into the body and how to do it.
