2024-09-181h 00We Go Boldly PodcastEPISODE 142: How to self-careSelf-care has become synonymous with self-indulgence, luxury, and privilege. Our culture focuses on what it can sell you as self-care rather than what kind of self-care is essential for your unique needs and health. Healthy self-care can help us cope with overwhelm, provide proactive and reactive care, and create meaningful time and energy for us. In this episode of We Go Boldly we answer the question, if self-care is not simply trips to the salon and impulse buys at the checkout, then what and why is it? Rielly and Tovah are experts in unpacking the cultural conditioning t...

Today Rielly and Tovah talk all about the magic of letting go. Letting go can be transformative and freeing. Why do we hold onto things, relationships, and beliefs that no longer serve us? Fear leads people to seek control, to hold on to outcomes, as if there is only one acceptable outcome. So the great irony is that attempting to control things actually feels less in control. We trick ourselves into thinking that letting go and m...

Why do we all feel the need to yes? In today’s episode Rielly and Tovah dive into why we say yes, even when we want to say no. When we say yes to everything we are often saying no to ourselves. We do it for a variety of reasons but either way saying no when we mean no can leave us resentful, angry, and exhausted. What can we do about it? A whole l...

So often we struggle with the feeling that we can direct and control the universe by will, by demand, by gripping tightly to our expectation of what ought to be. This episode examines why we want to control things and people (hello fear), and how we cling to preconceived outcomes rather than accepting where we actually are right now. We walk through the science and co...

There are ways, effective and encouraging ways, to build new habits into your life.
On this week’s episode we break down the difference between rituals, traditions, and habits and how they fit into our lives. We look past our deeper conversations about identity and see how identity can play a big role in the rituals and habits in our lives. Spoiler alert: building habits based on your identity or the i...

When we dive into the topic of identity and how it applies to organizations, corporations and even international conglomerates at the core of the conversation is the who, what, and why of the entity. Join us as we talk all about identity formation as it pertains to organizations and corporate cultures.
We explore the three elements that make up corporate identity: purpose, value, and culture. We dive deep into the larger context in which corporate i...

This week we jump right into a discussion on labels and how they help and how they hurt us. The tendency to label ourselves and others can blur the lines between truth and fiction. It can create tension between who we think we are supposed to be and who we actually are. This can often mean that we can grow as people and not even realize it.
While we migh...
2021-12-0850 minWe Go Boldly PodcastEPISODE 47: STORYTELLING AND IMPACT ON IDENTITYC.S. Lewis once said: "In great literature, I become a thousand different men but still remain myself." Storytelling is a passageway to another world where we can become more than we understood before we stepped forward. Once we understand, we cannot then un-understand. The beauty of stories is their capacity to expand our world and our lives. We may remain ourselves, but not ourselves untouched.
Join us on the podcast today as we dive deep into one of our greatest joys and passions, stories and how they have the power to impact us all. We continue t...

2021-12-0149 minWe Go Boldly PodcastEPISODE 45: IMPACT OF RELATIONSHIPS ON IDENTITYHave you ever wondered why some people help you find yourself and with some people you lose yourself?
Relationships can impact our identity by changing the size of our sense of self. It can expand, to include new traits or to make existing traits more prominent but it can also cause certain aspects of the self to be lost.
Rielly and Tovah get a little extra personal when they talk about how their relationships have expanded their lives and taught them when they needed to reconnect with their own identity.

Over time a person's job was their defining feature, literal identity. While we aren’t named after our job these days we are often too tied to them and too enmeshed in them. Many of us have come to actually define ourselves by our occupations – which often comes at our own expense.
On today’s episode Tovah and Rielly get personal when they talk about jobs and identity. They have both struggled with separating their identity from their jobs.
Why is it not okay to be co...

They didn’t realize it would take 43 episodes until they would finally have an episode entirely devoted to parenthood.
It only makes sense that parenthood comes up during a season about identity. There are so many different layers to consider with respect to how our identity will be impacted over time and all the different stages of parenthood. It is so easy to lose ourselves in parenthood.
As many parents, or anyone who has been around small children...

“Find your purpose” looks great on a poster or on a decorative wooden plaque but what does it really mean? And more importantly can it mean anything if you don’t know who you are? Rielly and Tovah discuss the importance of learning who you are first before figuring out what you should be doing with your life. Lacking a clearly defined sense of self, or identity, often makes it tough to know exactly what you want.
They continue their deep dive into their conversation about identit...

There is nothing inherently wrong with transitions, in fact transitions are exciting and can lead to wonderful growth but...every transition can cause unexpected stress. This week Tovah and Rielly, who both handle change very differently, discuss how we maintain our identities while living through life’s major transitions.
Change can impact how we view the world and ourselves. How do we handle change so we can embrace change and celebrate it?
We dive deep into answering that question. Finding calm in our lives and ensuring...

These are the questions that help us determine our core values and who we truly are. Rielly and Tovah discuss this and more in episode 4 of season 4. As it often does, the conversation comes back to a discussion of our inner voice.
We want to stop asking kids what they want to be when they grow up and ask them who they are. Identity is not focused on what you...

This week, and this whole season, Rielly and Tovah dive in and discuss the concept of identity. What does identity mean? How is it formed? There are parts of our identity that we are born with and other parts that we grow into.
Rielly and Tovah consider how our identity or identities are authentic to who we are. A hunger for authenticity guides us in every age and aspect of life. It drives our explorations of work, relationships, play, and prayer.

We’re reconnecting with our identity and the first step means that we are connecting to our innervoice.
We also want to share our thoughts on perfectionism, being authentic, setting goals, how life sometimes distracts us, and setting realistic expectations for ourselves.

We are bound with chains of bitterness, tied together, trapped. Until we can forgive the person who harmed us, that person will hold the keys to our happiness; that person will be our jailor. When we forgive the person who harmed us, we take back control of our own fate and our feelings. We become our own liberators. We don’t forgive to help the other person. We don’t forgive for others. We forgive for ourselves. Forgiveness, in other words, is the best form of self-interest. This is tru...

What about you? Do you believe in miracles? Have you had moments in your life that have moved you or inspired you?

Have you ever thought “that was the strangest thing. That can’t be a coincidence?” Those moments are what we focus on and talk about in this week’s episode.
The Universe sends signs every day showing us that we are connected to it and to each other, we only have to be open to seeing them. Synchronicity signs let you know that you're on the right track.
This concept of synchronicity is not a new concept but comes from the psychotherapist Carl Jung. In his work, he used the i...

Resilience involves the ability to recover and rebound from challenges and setbacks. While it may seem that some people are naturally better than others we’ve come to realize that we can build our resilience. Like building a muscle, increasing your resilience takes time and intentionality.
Being resilient means facing difficulties head-on instead of falling into despair or using unhealthy coping strategies. We focus on the many ways we can build resilience as an individual and of course, a community.

We delve into the definitions of sensitive, insensitive, and highly sensitive as a personality trait as defined by Elaine Aron many years ago. We talk through some of the science behind personality traits and how high sensitivity impacts us as individuals.
The cultural impact of how we view sensitivity as individuals and then as a larger culture come into play as well. We examine how...
2021-08-1153 minWe Go Boldly PodcastEPISODE 30: PRACTICING ACCEPTANCE CAN TRANSFORM YOUR LIFEEvery week this season we are approaching empathy from a different and sometimes difficult perspective. Acceptance is hard. Acceptance means embracing reality. It is a willingness to experience things as they are, instead of insisting that they be as you want them to be.
It is only with acceptance that we can truly embrace change and practice empathy. Acceptance allows you to move on instead of being perpetually stuck in a quagmire of “should haves” and “would haves”.
We reflect on our own hesitancy with acceptance and the steps we can take to achieve it. As with eve...

As we so often do, we refer back to our original episode today on finding your inner voice. In order to move forward in a trusting relationship; whether with yourself, other people, the Universe, it is important to first understand your own inner voice and self. Trusting yourself relies on an understanding of who you are and what you believe. Tune in and let us know what...

“The struggle is real.” We see this in social media, on mugs, on t-shirts. It’s overused and often shows a lack of understanding of actual struggle.
In this episode we dig deep into the concept of true struggle and our need for empathy. When we ask “How are you?” we need to really mean it. Beyond individually, empathy is necessary in order for us to be able to provide help and advocate collectively.
America is a country in deep pain. We need to create safe spaces. ...

We are looking closely at how to create a more empathetic society by taking a hard look at our own understanding and application of niceness and kindness.
Niceness is usually transactional in nature. Nice people do things for people with the expectation that we will get something in return, or that we will be more liked and/or included in a group. Often people mask their true feelings or desires in order to seem more nice and agreeable. People...

We look at empathy from both the individual perspective and the greater societal perspective. It matters in situations both large and small. Not ones to shy away from a little research we share what we learned about cognitive empathy, emotional empathy, and cognitive empathy.

True authentic living takes courageous living. Being vulnerable is scary and we need to be brave. Whether it’s feeling our feelings, practicing gratitude, or failing and rising up, it all takes courage.

We are back with part two of our conversation on connection. Life, parenthood, schooling, career, marriage, can make it hard to keep the sense of connection between body, mind, and spirit. Life becomes a series of check marks.
The loss of connection makes it harder to hear your inner voice, to feel your purpose, to be open to the possibilities of the universe.

This week we kick off part one of our two part conversation on connection. Our connection to mind, body and spirit guides us. As humans we need to feel a sense of connection to something, whether it is a larger universe, God, the Earth, other people or something unique. This need relates to belonging, soul, spirit, self worth, doubt, fear, love, kindness. We find connection in grounding, prayer, meditation, group activities, friendship, and relationships.

In order to achieve this kind of alignment we have to do the hard work of understanding ourselves first.
When we are able to tune in to our inner voice, understand our purpose, hear our deeper selves then we can connect our inner world with our outer expression of self. That is how we live an authentic life.

On today’s episode we talk about letting go and surrendering. What do we need to let go? Outcomes? Control? Other People?
We try to control things because of what we think will happen if we don’t. In other words, control is rooted in fear.

It's true that you risk failure if you try something bold because you might miss it. But you also risk failure if you stand still and don't try anything new..
Embrace adversity and make failure a regular part of your life. If you're not failing, you're probably not really moving forward.
The less you venture out, the greater your risk of failure. Ironically the more you risk failure — and actually fail — the greater your chances of success.

Perfectionism is not is not striving for excellence. Perfectionism is not self-improvement.
Despite that we see the desire to be perfect can often overtake other goals.

2021-05-1243 minWe Go Boldly Podcast17: Belonging with Authenticity and Self AcceptanceBelonging is the innate human desire to be part of something larger than us. Because this yearning is so primal, we often try to acquire it by fitting in and by seeking approval, which are not only hollow substitutes for belonging, but often barriers to it. Because true belonging only happens when we present our authentic, imperfect selves to the world, our sense of belonging can never be greater than our level of self-acceptance. – Brené Brown
This week we take a closer look at what it means to truly belong. To have a sense of belonging. This is mo...

So give yourself the permission to set boundaries and work to preserve them.
It’s important for all of us to have personal boundaries. They dictate how we approach relationships with friends and acquaintances. Our boundaries help us live in-tune with our desires, needs, and feelings. They help us be our authentic selves. It’s no one’s r...

On this week’s episode we take a close look at what it means to be angry as a woman, as a parent, as a member of our society.
We discuss what we were told about anger as children and how that influenced how we showed ourselves to the world. Suppressing anger can be dangerous, both to an individual and society and yet we continue to reward women for hiding their anger.

Motivation, discipline, and habit are three things we all know we need, but struggle with, and often get confused with each other.
Discipline is the stage just before habit. It takes discipline to develop a habit. It’s when we are forcing ourselves to do something, we don’t want to do, it doesn’t feel natural. It requires a thought process.
