Life Lessons with Indie WrytesS4:E5 Expectations vs. StandardsIn this episode we take a look at what expectations really are and look for the answers to the question, "do expectations ruin relationships?"
I hear and read so much about how expectations ruin relationships. When I first read and heard this, I thought that it was very misleading and more harmful to our happiness within relationships. So, I decided to really look into what expectations really are and after reading, I thought to myself, is it expectations alone that ruin relationships or is it unhealthy, unfair, & unrealistic expectations that destroy and ravage relationships? This is where standards come in...
2023-07-1053 minLife Lessons with Indie WrytesS4:E4 Love & Freedom.In this episode we talk about the influence of LOVE & FREEDOM!
There are so many things that we build hope and fidelity in. This includes people, relationships, careers, even our own bodies and abilities, but today we’re going to focus on people and relationships. We make space for people out of need, desire, connection, companionship, attraction, and compatibility, right? We spend time getting to know people and we trust, we place our reliance on and in them and move with the presumption they’re being honest about who they say they are and what they say they want and how...
2023-07-0329 minLife Lessons with Indie WrytesS4:E3 The Journey Back To Ourselves.In this episode we discuss The Journey Back To Ourselves. Where does it start? WHY does it start? How do we recognize when we’ve lost ourselves? What are the indicators? One night I was journaling about some experiences that I was going through and attempting to understand and conceptualize the feelings I was having, which lead to me ask myself all of the aforementioned questions. I, then, went on to write down eight questions that opened so many things up for me and I'm sharing those things with you in this lesson. Have your notebook and your pen ready. You...
2023-06-2646 minLife Lessons with Indie WrytesS4:E2 Intimacy: The Beauty & The Betrayal.In this episode, we discuss intimacy. What is intimacy? Do you create intimacy, do you invite it, or does it naturally happen through connection? What does it mean? How does it look? How does it feel? What are the initiators of true intimacy? What is false intimacy and what are the signs of false intimacy?
Intimacy is one of the most overused, while being simultaneously misused, words in the world right now. We think intimacy means sex, we’ve deduced and reduced it to something explicitly physical and sexual when intimacy, in its most euph...
2023-06-2046 minLife Lessons with Indie WrytesS4:E1 The Power of a Made-Up Mind!Welcome to Season 4 of the Life Lessons Podcast! We're starting this season off where everything starts: CHOICE! And, in order to make a choice, you first have to have a made-up mind.
So many of US don't realize we don't make choices with CONSCIOUS INTENTION! Our choices are often made out of desperation and short term relief. Question: how often have you made choices without even processing the picture that you would like to see the choice develop? When you're taking a picture, you pose based on what you want to see reflected back...
2023-04-1332 minLife Lessons with Indie WrytesS3:E5 Your Experiences vs Your Expectations.We all have experiences in life, some good some challenging, however we don't have to allow those experiences to dictate what we expect and the results we receive. It may have gone this way last time the experience happened, but that doesn't mean it HAS to go the same way when it comes back around. In this episode, I speak about the lessons I have learned in marriage, divorce, and primary parenting and the importance of finding those lessons in the things we experience and then being adamant about changing our fate.

2022-08-0842 minLife Lessons with Indie WrytesS3:E4 Just Keep Swimming or Learn to Float!In this episode, I talk about learning to keep moving when we need to and also learning to trust and let go when we need to. Sometimes, we feel the need to control things and hold them. We fear what might happen if we let go, even for a moment. Surrender takes more strength than movement in some moments. Yet, as we surrender, we find ourselves being able to hear more clearly. When we float, when we trust the foundation underneath us, we can find peace and answers there.

Life Lessons with Indie WrytesS3:E3 Things Fall Apart, Intentions Shatter... But, Do They Have To?In this episode I Am discussing the inevitability of relationships/partnerships. Do you believe it is predestined and almost certain that your relationships will start off great, yet experience inescapable declination? Are we stuck in a continuum of defeat no matter who we are having the experience with? I deeply believe in the ability and strength of Love. To me, it is the infinite power of God, that is with and within us. Even though I've experienced heartbreak, betrayal, and divorce I still trust in Love and believe that I will experience it in it's fullest.

2022-04-2740 minLife Lessons with Indie WrytesS3:E2 Divorce, Yes! BUT, I AM ALL I NEED TO START OVER.In this episode I go a little further into my experiences with divorce and some of the reasons. DIVORCE IS NOT THE EASY WAY OUT. It's such a painful experience for you and if there's kids involved, it's even deeper. But, sometimes, you have to put away the fear of "what if" and be more afraid of "what is." I was more afraid of things being the same way they'd been for the past 6 years, than I was about how they would be for the next 6 if I didn't make the choice to choose myself. I Am not a divorce...

Life Lessons with Indie WrytesS2:E10 Need and Desperation: Are They The Same?This episode is based around a conversation I was having with someone about a clip from a show she'd seen. So often we speak against our desires without even realizing it, because of how we THINK it might make us look or sound. Needing something doesn't mean you're desperate for it. And, needs are fine to have. You can still be great and strong, even when you need people. Break the curse. Break the lie.
