    BONUS: How we cope with trauma and stress Pt 2

    At the start of the July 4th weekend, the news broke that Sha'Carri Richardson, a track and field star, would be banned from competing in the 2021 Olympics because of marijuana use. People rushed to post and make comments on social media without knowing the full context of why she was banned. As we all know, false, misleading or incomplete information spreads like wildfire on social media. Like many things that get turned into sound bites and memes there's layers to her story.

    how to cope with trauma and stress pt 2

    According to Office of Minority Health at the U.S. Dept of Health & Human Services, National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month is observed each July to bring awareness to the unique struggles that racial and ethnic minority communities face regarding mental illness in the United States. Sha'Carri's story opens up a bigger conversation about mental health and how we help ourselves and our young people cope with their mental and emotional stressors.

    This is Part 2 of a 2 part bonus episode of a conversation with a licensed therapist and two friends who have utilized therapy to heal from traumatic experiences.

    If you missed Part 1, we encourage you to go back and listen before listening to this episode.

    July #WorkYourPlan Book Club Selection:

    "The Gift: 12 Lessons to Save Your Life" by Edith Eger

    Edith Eger is a clinical psychologist and a Holocaust survivor. In the Gift she explains that the worst prison she experienced is not the prison that Nazis put her in but the one she created for herself, the prison within her own mind. She describes the twelve most pervasive imprisoning beliefs she has known—including fear, grief, anger, secrets, stress, guilt, shame, and avoidance—and the tools she has discovered to deal with these universal challenges. 

    Accompanied by stories from Eger’s own life and the lives of her patients, this book

    captures the vulnerability and common challenges we all face and provides encouragement and advice for breaking out of our personal prisons to find healing and enjoy life.

    89. Audiobooks That Give Us Courage to Speak Our Stories

    ep 89 workyourplan podcast

    I usually share physical books, but I want to recommend some audio books this week. I love listening to books in the author’s voice. There is a true connection that is made when you hear someone’s words in their voice. I think one of the powerful elements of podcasting is you hearing my voice. Our voice tells a story. When you hear someone’s voice, you get a sense of their body language, you see their flaws which is always connecting, you get to absorb more of their personality, their history.

    88. The Power of the Words You Say to Yourself

    88. The Power of the Words You Say to Yourself

    Episode 88 is inspired by personal experience from the last couple months.

    workyourplan episode 88

    In the last episode I mentioned experiencing a setback in business when I hired someone that I hoped would be helping me to be more consistent with sharing my content. I was triggered by that partnership not working out and I self doubt rose to the top. The way I was thinking about myself and business was hindering me and not helping me. 

    This episode will remind you of the power of words and help you shift the words you are speaking to yourself.

    87. Authenticity & The Power of Words

    87. Authenticity & The Power of Words

    This month we're discussing the power of words.

    ep 87 workyourplan with kendra

    My love and passion for words is one of the things that makes me, me. Inspiring, empowering, impactful words are on the walls in my home, on my bookshelves, in my phone and on my vision boards. I am very careful with my words, because words shape us! Our thoughts, hopes, dreams and goals have been influenced by the words used to describe us and how we have been talked to. Words can bring life or death. So, for the next few episodes, I’ll be sharing some of my favorite sources of wisdom aka books, songs, podcasts, etc 🙂

    My hope is that these sources of wisdom will benefit you too.

    86. Ready to Rise with Jo Saxton

    In episode 86 of the podcast, I share the recording of my conversation with the author of our March #WorkYourPlan book club selection, Jo Saxton.

    Jo Saxton

    Jo Saxton is an author, speaker, podcast host, and leadership coach. She has dedicated her career to growing leadership teams around the world and empowering women to find their purpose in their personal lives and in leadership.

    Born in London to parents who immigrated from Nigeria, Jo credits her family’s unrelenting work ethic and the grace of God for the bold, tenacious approach she takes to sharing her wisdom on identity, influence, and living an authentic life. She is characterized by her effervescent honesty and warm approachability, leaving audiences with practical next steps in areas that are usually a bit ambiguous.

    In addition to work as an author, Jo has also spearheaded an initiative aimed to help women grow their leadership skills. 

    Jo lives in Minneapolis with her husband, Chris, and their two daughters.

    Jo's book, Ready to Rise, is one of the few I've seen that addresses the intersection of your identity as a leader, a Black woman and a Christian and provides a Biblical context for talking about leadership and calling.

    Have you ever dropped the ball? I want to invite you to join me for the #WorkYourPlan Book Club. For May I wanted a book that speaks to the pressure moms and women, in general, feel to do it all.

    So, we are reading Tiffany Dufu’s book, Drop the Ball: Achieving More by Doing Less, as our May book selection. I often joke that this book should be in the marriage and family section of the book store, rather than the business section.

    In Drop the Ball, Tiffany shows women how to cultivate the single skill they really need in order to thrive: the ability to let go. She recounts how she learned to reevaluate expectations, shrink her to-do list, and meaningfully engage the assistance of others - freeing the space she needed to flourish at work and to develop deeper, more meaningful relationships at home.

    Did you know? Even though women are half the workforce, they still represent only 18 percent of the highest level leaders. The reasons are obvious: Just as women reach middle management, they are also starting families. Mounting responsibilities at work and home leave them with no bandwidth to do what will most lead to their success. Drop the Ball urges women to embrace imperfection and to expect less of themselves and more from others - only then can they focus on what they truly care about, devote the necessary energy to achieving their real goals, and create the type of rich, rewarding life we all desire.

    I'm sure this topic is going to spark some lively discussions. Don't miss it!

    84. What courageous conversation are you avoiding?

    ep 84 #workyourplan with kendra

    To minimize the possibility of offense when engaging in a courageous conversation:

    Pray in advance so that you have God's wisdom and his heart for the interaction.

    State the facts first. Then share your story (how it impacted you; FYI your story is not a fact. It’s how you see it.)

    Now switch to listening. Ask for their perspective.

    Remember the reason/purpose for the conversation. Your goal is not to convince, compel or control. You want to move towards understanding and accountability.

    83. What is your dream opportunity?

    83. What is your dream opportunity?

    kendra tillman podcast mic

    Steps to move past comparison:

    Return to the vision. You need a visual reminder.

    Pray for discernment about what is a longing for something God wants for me and what is me coveting what was meant for someone else. 

    Seek wise counsel from (friends, family, mentors, coaches) those who know what you’re feeling, they’ve navigated this road before and they can help you with your perspective. The answers to our desires often take on a different form than we expected.

    Work your plan. Get busy with the work God is calling you to. Look for those people who run beside you to see it fulfilled.

    March is Women’s History Month. I want to invite you to join me for the #WorkYourPlan Book Club. For the month of March we are reading Jo Saxton’s book, Ready to Rise.

    Ready to Rise tackles the real-life issues women face–workplace harassment, sexism, low self-esteem, financial woes, power battles, and old wounds–while providing meaningful wisdom from Jo’s own journey to leadership. Added to this personal reflection are stories of empowered women from the Bible. Jo then calls on readers to invest in the next generation of women and build new communities where diverse female leadership can flourish.

    Grief and Loss: Questions of the Heart with LaSandra Hutchinson

    What does it mean for God to be good?

    This common question is at the heart of what many of us will wrestle with when we experience some form of loss in our lifetime.

    Our guest, LaSandra Hutchinson is going to help us uncover how grief and loss has impacted our relationship with God. LaSandra is a speaker, writer, content creator and advocate for the rights and well-being of women and girls.

She has continued that work as a domestic violence advocate and currently builds awareness of the issue by providing domestic violence training and strengthening community partnerships through her with South Suburban Family Shelter, an organization that provides comprehensive domestic violence services in Illinois. 

    After 20 years of friendship and 13 years of marriage, LaSandra experienced the sudden loss of her husband in October 2017.  At the time, her children were 11, 10, 8, and 6 years old. Eager to learn all she could about grief and to rebuild a powerful life for her and her children, LaSandra began researching grief and sharing her new understanding, her faith, and her grief journey on YouTube, through public speaking, and through writing.

    80. The Intersection of Faith & Politics with Sarah Anderson

    80. The Intersection of Faith & Politics with Sarah Anderson

    In today’s episode we’re discussing two topics we’re told never to talk about -- religion & politics. We're, specifically, talking about the intersection of faith and politics and how do we unify when the stakes feel so high in this year's election.

    Our guest for episode 80 of the podcast is Sarah Bauer Anderson. Sarah has spent her entire life learning to live in the tension both politics and religion create, striving to best navigate the complicated issues and emotional conversations around these weightier topics. Raised in a family of politicos, including a former Republican presidential candidate father (Gary Bauer), Sarah shares her story and what she’s learned in her latest book, The Space Between Us: How Jesus Teaches Us to Live Together When Politics and Religion Pull Us Apart. 

    She has been involved in ministry since 2003 and uses her skills as an avid communicator, writer and author, to combine her passions in order to instill positive faith in teens, parents and ministry influencers. Sarah is the lead content creator and writer for XP3 High School curriculum from Orange, a nonprofit organization with a mission to instill positive faith and influence parents and ministries to influence the next generation.

    Sarah Anderson

    In this episode we discuss…

    • Principles Sarah's political and religious family have learned about navigating political discussions that might help you restore relationships with your friends and family
    • Why beliefs like 'we have to agree with every issue a candidate stands for to publicly support them' are driving us apart
    • How our limited view of Jesus is hindering contributes to our lack of civil discourse around religion and politics
    • The importance of posture over position
    • Why nuance gets lost in our political discussions online
    • How we honor our Christian faith in voting without standing in condemnation of others for their differing views

    Before you go...

    Join us the day after the election on Wed, 11/4 at 6pm MST/7pm CST for a candid conversation among a group of multi-generational, multi-ethnic women exploring how we find unity following the 2020 election season.

    79. Demystifying Purpose with Nicole Salmon

    79. Demystifying Purpose with Nicole Salmon

    For the month of September where we will be talking about demystifying purpose. My conversation with Nicole Salmon centers around defining purpose and gaining clarity about your purpose.

    Nicole Salmon Purpose Coach

    When we’re unclear on our calling, we feel stuck and left behind. In today’s conversation, my guest Nicole Salmon helps us demystify “purpose” by revealing the one mindset shift we must make to be fruitful in every season of life. Tune in throughout September as we continue this monthly series on clarifying our purpose.

    Purpose coach Nicole Salmon has worked with some pretty inspiring and powerful women over the years. You know the type. Fierce, has it all together and going places? Well at least to the public she is. But in her private life she is also unraveling and not clear about her next move. Why do they end up at her door? Because birds of a feather flock together. If the quest for finding your purpose has left you feeling stuck or left behind, you’re in the right place. In today’s episode, Nicole invites us to reject the idea that purpose is a destination, so that we can begin living from purpose, adapting it as our lifestyle.

    In this episode we discuss…

    • The dark seasons that leave you feeling like purpose is over & how God uses them to propel you into His purposes for your life.
    • The grace of God that overrides shame’s intent to silence and muzzle your calling. 
    • Walking in your calling as a believer by putting “purpose” into the proper perspective.
    • Following Purpose’s breadcrumbs in your life to rediscover and exercise your God-given gifts right where you are. 

    ***

    Words to Remember… 

    • “Your mistakes do not void your purpose.”  – Nicole Salmon
    • “The question is not: What do I want to be? But: What do I want to do? I already am somebody.” – Nicole Salmon
    • “If the only time you are great is when your title is great, that’s not greatness. That’s a show.” – Nicole Salmon
    • “Time doesn’t clarify your purpose. Movement made toward your call in faith does. You will squint at purpose from afar until Jesus returns.” – Nicole Salmon

    For the month of August our conversations on the podcast will help parents transition their families into a new and very different school year. 

    Christine Duvivier

    My guest for today's episode is Christine Duvivier. Christine Duvivier is an international speaker, author and positive change mentor. She speaks, teaches and coaches for organizations, leaders, students and communities that are ready to think beyond traditional myths that hold us back and want to use positive practices to tap into the powerful energy available to them so that they live into more of their true spirits and who they ultimately want to be. She holds an MBA and a Masters degree in Positive Psychology.

    Christine and I discuss:

    • Why our current system of schooling can lead to depression for some students and what we can do about it
    • 7 hidden gifts and how we uncover them
    • Helping our kids become more confident and resilient in school

    You can watch the video of our conversation at Facebook.com/StrongHerMe

    "The system is structured in a way and teaches thought patterns that cause depression and anxiety." - Christine Duvivier

    "We don't really have any control over what our kids think...what's interesting is how much impact we have." - Christine Duvivier

    "I think it's so empowering when you take control as a parent of yourself and decide I'm going to define how I want to think about this (my child and their strengths) and I don't want other people defining it for me. " - Christine Duvivier
