family systems

Today Greg shares his archetype-based healing program, a transformative journey toward self-discovery and healing that synthesizes the teachings of Paul Chek and Caroline Myss.

Greg's own story of overcoming mental and physical health has refined his holistic coaching methods, empowering listeners to chart their own course toward personal freedom.

Have you ever wondered how deep-seated archetypal patterns influence your self-worth, your ability to set boundaries, or your survival instincts in times of stress? Our dialogue ventures into the intricate dance of survival archetypes, particularly the 'prostitute' archetype, and its role in life's high-stakes negotiations.

Greg shares his insights on navigating life transitions, recognizing childhood dependencies, and embracing the transformation from dependency to self-assured autonomy.  He explains how these archetypal energies play out in real-world scenarios, from the coaching industry's unique negotiation challenges to the broader quest for empowerment.

We discuss how these foundational forces mold our perceptions, affect our relationships, and intersect with our spiritual beliefs. Greg offers a pathway toward resolving divine misconceptions and forging a more fulfilling connection with our personal image of God. With a blend of personal insights and archetypal wisdom, this episode is not just a conversation; it's an invitation to a deeper understanding of the forces that shape us.

"You've gained a few pounds since last year!"
"You're not married yet?"
"Why can't you be quiet and sweet like your sister?"
"Are you really going to have another drink?"
"Of course we invited your ex. He's still family. We don't have to ask you."
"Have you heard about our lord and savior Jesus Christ?"

Welcome to the judgy-est time of the year!

If your family is like most families, Thanksgiving get-togethers are kind of a mixed blessing. 😂 

And for some of us, the holidays can be downright painful and poke all sort of old wounds and unresolved traumas.

If you'll be braving the family firing squad this week, this podcast is for you.

Think of it as putting on your tactical armor before you rush into the fray!

We'll discuss:

• Why your family isn't actually the problem (and why this is good news)
• Coping strategies that DON'T usually work.
• How family can be a powerful tool for your healing.
• Ways to think about your family's comments, insults, comparisons, etc. that actually serve you.
• How to become bulletproof in any family situation. 

This inaugural episode of Talking Amongst My Selves — a companion series to Conversations Along the Way (see the trailer for it for more information) —  takes on a light little topic: death. I reflect on how returning home to Berlin to be with my aging parents and struggling to find work brings up existential fears, with all of the different parts of me (Little Guy, Hothead, Mediator and Observer) having a different take on what is going on.

In this enlightening episode, we delve deep into the world of epigenetics and family systems, exploring the profound impact of early mother-child relationships on our adult interactions. Our guest, Johanna Lynn, a leading expert in the field, discusses the profound influence that the initial five years of life have on how we show up in our relationships later on.

We examine how our early attachment patterns create a blueprint for our future relationships, dictating our communication style, emotional responses, and even our capability for intimacy. But more importantly, we explore the empowering concept that these patterns, while deeply ingrained, are not cast in stone.

This episode offers insights into recognizing these early imprints and how they manifest in our adult relationships. Through thoughtful reflection and conscious effort, we discuss strategies to break negative cycles of interaction and redefine our relationship dynamics. I get personal about how I reshaped my relational blueprint in my own marriage.

So whether you're caught in a spiral of frustrating relationship patterns, curious about the science behind your emotional bonds, or are simply looking to understand yourself and your relationships better - this episode is a must-listen. Embark on this journey with us to unravel the threads of your past and weave the tapestry of your future relationships. Don't miss this chance to reshape your relational world and navigate towards your version of "happily ever after."

Are your children struggling to manage their emotions?

Is it difficult for you to manage your own feelings and not be triggered by your kids meltdowns?

As a Christian parent, do you wish for a way to help them cope and understand?

On today’s episode, we will be discussing a powerful approach - cognitive behavioral techniques.

By teaching your kids the names of different emotions and helping them recognize what might be causing them, they can learn to label and respond to their emotions in healthy ways. Overwhelm in your home will be reduced instantly once this is learned.

This will help bring peace to your homeschool, more bonded relationships between each family member, and solid mental health as each child grows and matures with the emotional processing tools needed to create a solid foundation in their life.  As fans of the Charlotte Mason philosophy, making nurture part of our daily lifestyles means processing emotions in a healthy way matters to us.

I will give you tips and tricks on how to get started with cognitive behavioral techniques at home and provide activities that are sure to keep your children calm when feeling strong emotions.

Let’s dive into strategies that aim to set children up for success in dealing with the ups and downs of life!

XOXO,

Katie

Tod Bolsinger and Markus Watson discuss this quote from A Failure of Nerve, by Edwin Friedman.

“In any type of institution whatsoever, when a self-directed, imaginative, energetic, or creative member is being consistently frustrated and sabotaged rather than encouraged and supported, what will turn out to be true one hundred percent of the time, regardless of whether the disrupters are supervisors, subordinates, or peers, is that the person at the very top of that institution is a peace-monger.”

On this episode I interview a colleague of mine Alicia Kay. She is a fellow Breathwork practitioner, licensed Trauma Counselor, coach, business owner, mother and holistic ambassador. She has gone through her own healing journey overcoming intense adverse experiences in childhood, recovery from abuse, substances, self-sacrificing and self sabotage.

Her goal in life is to help her clients to reconnect to their hearts and true divine nature. By helping them to realize that they don’t have to make drastic changes to be “good enough”, but to come back to the foundational truth that: you already are enough.

My guest shares her story of love, loss, authenticity, and acceptance. Ultimately, this episode is about one family's journey of accepting and celebrating one another as they truly are, even when embracing authenticity brought massive change to their status quo.

My guest, Beth Robinson, talks about her essay in the book, The Epiphanies Project, entitled B is for Backward. In her writing, she explores the difficult question, “Did my mother know I loved her before she died?”

We talk about writing as a therapeutic process.

Beth shares her experience in her family car.

Beth unpacks a powerful insight about how her family of origin gave her both "the lock and the key" to becoming her authentic self.

Staying connected to our seniors and recognizing signs of depression, self-harm, sustained and existing trauma and mental illness is crucial these days, especially while experiencing a global pandemic. Here on Before You Go, we knew it was time to call in an expert. Helena Washington has a Masters of Education, Counseling. She is a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (Texas & Ohio), Internationally Certified Alcohol & Drug Counselor (ADC) and Master Addiction Counselor (National Certification).

This episode premiered on January 22, 2022 on KBLA Talk 1580, Los Angeles.

It this week's episode, I'm chatting with Joshua and Ashlee Latimer of Honor and Fire about How to Create a Powerful Family Culture and Empower Your Kids to Win using family systems. Their number 1 passion is helping your entrepreneurial Family build wealth, become radically generous and engineer a Family culture that changes the world.

We talk about their 5 step framework for implementing family systems and how those systems have created a family culture that empowers even their young kids to look for solutions, take initiative, build businesses and navigate the crazy world we live in with honor and fire.

I think you will love the way the Latimers empower and inspire you to take massive, imperfect, but intentional action to create the systems that will help your family win.

Thanks to the patriarchy, folx of all genders have been indoctrinated into the belief that women were put on this planet to nurture others. Moreover, when women choose to care for themselves, they're seen as selfish. Is it any wonder we're just a teensy bit resentful about being assigned that role?!

In this episode, Jessica breaks it all down and shares her willingness to put her self-care above everyone else's, even the peeps she loves the most. Because caring for others is how she makes a living, but caring for herself (and her dogs) is how she makes a life.  She offers a couple of powerful quotes on resentment, both suggesting that resentment is akin to eating poison and hoping the other person dies.

Nope. Doesn't work that way. You're the one who's gonna take it in the shorts, sis.

Newsflash: Those in your world will take whatever you give them. And yes, the world needs help, but if you're going to make the work sustainable for you, you must fill your cup first. The paradox is this. You can't truly offer yourself to others from a cup that is empty. The fuller your vessel, the more you have to give.  (You also can't keep giving folx a straw while you're trying to fill your cup.)

If you want to be able to give joyfully and without resentment, you must have a self-care plan in place, and be able to engage in it unapologetically.  Jessica offers tips on how to do this and shares some very personal limitations she's liberated herself from feeling bad about.

P.S. If you're a bit squeamish about puke, hearses, or the gubernatorial recall in California, maybe don't listen while you're lunching.

Alex challenges listeners to look into the past at the patterns that are present in their families and into the future to create new patterns that ensure future family members will remain faithful to God. 

In this episode Steve Cuss, the author of Managing Leadership Anxiety discusses the way anxiety can affect, not only ourselves, but all those around us. We also talk about something called family systems theory, which has to do with recognizing and managing the anxiety in a system of relationships—be it a family, a church, a business, a baseball team, or school.

THIS EPISODE’S HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:

• Steve Cuss is the lead pastor at Discovery Christian Church in Denver, Colorado, and the author of Managing Leadership Anxiety.
• Acute anxiety is when you’re in actual danger. The danger is short-term, and then the danger passes.
• Family systems focuses on chronic anxiety, which has to do with what happens next after you don’t get what you think you need.
• Chronic anxiety is long-term. It is not an actual threat; it is a perceived threat.
• Laura Turner had shared on Steve’s podcast, Managing Leadership Anxiety, the idea of anxiety as a pet. It’s helpful to think of anxiety, not as a monster, but as a pet on a leash.
• Steve Cuss says it’s helpful to be mindful where your anxiety begins. Does it start in a spinning mind, a racing heart, or a tightening gut?
• It can also be helpful to ask a friend, “What are two or three things that I think I need, but that I don’t actually need?”
• Murray Bowen, founder of family systems theory, noticed that our problems aren’t just inside us, but between us.
• The most powerful person in the room is the most anxious person in the room—unless the room is being led by a non-anxious leader.
• Edwin Friedman wrote Generation to Generation, which focuses on congregational leadership. He also wrote A Failure of Nerve, which looks at family systems in culture and society.
• “Differentiation” is considered by Roberta Gilbert to be the cornerstone concept of family systems theory. It refers to your ability to notice when you’re being infected by someone else’s anxiety and how to stop your anxiety from infecting someone else.
