It’s very common for adults who experienced physical abuse, spanking, or other types of physical punishment to say, “well I turned out fine…so it’s ok” as a rationalization for repeating the same behavior in their own families.
We often overlook the importance of play and creativity in adults. We need this just as much as kids do! This time doesn't have to be productive or produce anything meaningful, it's ok to just have fun! Consider this permission to take up a new or old skill! :)

Today on “Dare to Lead” I share how hard it was to hear that I can be scary when I’m scared. The paradox is, the intensity that fuels my fear-to-scary self also fuels one of my strengths: my creativity. Finding the balance is something I work on every day. spoti.fi/3zqwY1h
ALT A quote from Brené Brown that reads "The best parts of us and the parts that we're trying to change often live on the same continuum. Rather than throwing out the entire continuum, it's about sliding toward our strengths and using them to change what we want to change," against a blue-grey background. Listen to this episode of the Dare to Lead podcast, exclusively on Spotify.

Over the past year, if you didn’t master the guitar, launch a business, or write the great American novel, it doesn’t mean you lack discipline.
It means you were doing your best to stay afloat during a FREAKING PANDEMIC.
Just surviving is an accomplishment to celebrate.

We can have empathy for the mothers who are mourning the loss of a relationship with their child and for the children who feel they can’t have a relationship with their mothers.

Often, when we feel an emotion, our first thought is “how can I shut this down?” When it might be more helpful to ask: “how can I move through this?”

Avoiding stress is impossible, but we can adjust our relationship to stress. It doesn't have to own us. We can own it.

Despite popular self-help telling you to "think positive," there is nothing inherently good or bad about thoughts or feelings.
You don't have to act upon your emotions but you can feel them.
You don't have to accept your thoughts as ultimate truths but you can think them.
