E17 | Be Intentional (With Who and What You Surround Yourself With)

In this episode I ponder the nuances of identity, expectations, perfectionism, triggers, and being intentional about who and what we allow into our lives. Of all the wisdom I have gained along the way, this is perhaps one of the most important things to fully realize and understand.

While I recorded this six months ago, I find it is still very relevant to my life and to what I see happening in the world today, and I do pray that it inspires you in some way.

Listen in as I draw from my experiences and reflect on:

• acceptance, self-love and self-respect
• expectations...perhaps we expect more from ourselves than we realize
• The earlier episode with Marshall that I refer to can be found here.
• Bending to fit into the mold of others
• Projecting our discomfort on others
• Who is the “I”, really?
• The inner child
• Where are we getting our identity from?
• Who am I and who am I not?
• Pondering union and partnership with God
• Are we becoming or remembering?
• Looking out the windows of the ego room we’ve been trapped in, getting out of the comfort zone and going outside
• Being mindful of what we listen to, what we allow to enter
• Garden of the heart (will upload episode later). Intention toward the seeds that are thrown our way.
• How our experiences serve a purpose 
• Triggers show us where we need to heal
• When is it okay to allow ourselves to be exposed again to trauma triggers?
• Be intentional when it comes to your healing journey from trauma – certain people or situations may enter your life to hinder or stall your journey

If this episode inspired you, I would be grateful to have you share it with someone who needs to hear this today.
