In this heartening episode of "Life Unscripted," host Shari Leid delves into the intricacies of navigating life's transformative journeys, with a special focus on those experiencing divorce in 2024. However, the insights and resolutions discussed are universally applicable to anyone facing challenging times.

Shari starts by debunking traditional goal-setting, advocating instead for behavior-based resolutions that align with desired emotional states. She emphasizes the possibility of simultaneous joy and grief, using her own life as an example of finding happiness amidst the logistical and emotional complexities of divorce.

The episode unfolds in a series of thoughtful segments:

Hydrate Your Body and Soul: Shari discusses the importance of water not just for physical health but as a source of emotional nourishment.
Share a Smile, Share a Moment: The power of a smile and human connections is highlighted, encouraging listeners to find joy in everyday interactions.
Meditate to Find Clarity: Meditation is presented as a tool for emotional steadiness, particularly useful during the ups and downs of divorce.
Nurture Meaningful Friendships: The role of friendships in providing support through tough times is explored.
Emotions as Insights: Emotions are reframed as valuable insights rather than defining aspects of identity.
Discover Opportunity in Setbacks: Shari encourages a perspective shift to view setbacks as opportunities for growth and new beginnings.
Reframe Challenges as Growth: The importance of breaking down challenges into manageable steps and finding the silver lining in difficulties is discussed.
Release the Need to Fix: The episode touches on the liberation found in letting go of the compulsion to fix everything.
Build a Support Toolbox: Shari talks about the importance of seeking help and building a support system.
Healthy Boundaries: Setting healthy boundaries is highlighted as a key to self-worth and personal well-being.
Live in the Present: The benefits of living in the present and not being weighed down by past or future worries are emphasized.
Organize for Clarity: Organizational strategies for bringing order and clarity to life are discussed.

The episode concludes with Shari reinforcing the idea that these resolutions are meant to guide listeners through their transformative journeys, empowering them to face life's challenges with resilience and grace. She invites listeners to engage with her one-on-one coaching sessions for personalized guidance.

The episode is a blend of personal anecdotes, practical advice, and empathetic guidance, offering listeners a roadmap for navigating the complexities of transformation and change in 2024.

Audacious Resilience with Corinne Cavanaugh: How Past Trauma Can Become Your Leadership Edge 31:22

7 dni temu31:22

31:22

Send us a text What if the traumas and challenges you've faced aren't just obstacles to overcome, but the source of your greatest leadership strengths? In this transformative conversation, I sit down with Corinne Kavanaugh, an audacious resilience expert who flips conventional wisdom on its head. Corinne shares her powerful journey from a childhood marked by her mother's untreated bipolar disorder to becoming an author, entrepreneur, and Harvard graduate. Rather than hiding her past, she's now helping others recognize how their own difficult experiences have equipped them with exceptional leadership capabilities. The research backs this up – trauma integration creates leaders with heightened empathy and emotional intelligence because they understand pain and struggle firsthand. We explore practical frameworks for "flipping the box" on how we view our challenges. From Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques that reframe limiting beliefs to post-traumatic growth questions that accelerate healing, Corinne offers actionable tools that anyone can apply. For business leaders, Corinne provides game-changing perspective on hiring and team building. Rather than viewing candidates with difficult backgrounds as "damaged goods," she explains why these individuals often make exceptional leaders precisely because of their resilience. Their neural pathways for crisis management are well-developed, allowing them to quickly shift from challenge to opportunity. Whether you're navigating personal trauma, leading a team through difficult times, or supporting someone on their healing journey, this episode offers a profound reframing that will transform how you view life's challenges. Tune in to discover how being "audaciously resilient" can become your greatest superpower.

Pivot Year: Sometimes You Have To Walk Alone To Know What You Can Carry 9:34

16 dni temu9:34

9:34

Send us a text When survival mode ends, real healing begins. After navigating through my divorce after 27 years of marriage, I've discovered that the aftermath—this "pivot year"—is actually more challenging and raw than the divorce process itself. Why? Because during a crisis, we operate on adrenaline and necessity. It's only when the dust settles that we truly feel the weight of our transformation. This episode marks a turning point in my journey as I face the reality of leaving Seattle, the only home I've known, because I'm priced out of the market. With two Labrador dogs and a desire to maintain a landing place for my adult children, I'm narrowing down to just two potential cities where I can build a completely new life. At this crossroads, I'm embracing the terrifying freedom of being able to go anywhere while navigating the responsibility of creating stability entirely on my own—perhaps for the first time since my twenties. Drawing from my personal story of being found as an infant in a cardboard box, I'm expanding my "flipping the box" philosophy beyond sharing meals with strangers to completely reinventing myself, my career, and my approach to community. This isn't just about thinking outside the box—it's about transforming our limitations into tables of opportunity. As I share the unfiltered reality of creating community from scratch and establishing financial independence, I invite you to witness this journey of rediscovery in real-time. I've created a 12-week course called "Flip the Box for Yourself," designed to help you enrich your existing relationships and forge meaningful new connections. Use code "PODCAST" to receive $100 off, and join me for weekly office hours where we can support each other through our parallel journeys. Whether you're weathering your own major life transition or simply seeking more authentic connections, I'd love to have you alongside me as we navigate the perfectly imperfect process of rebuilding.

Redefining Identity: Life Beyond Your Job Title with Gentrix Shanga 25:06

Send us a text Join us as we discuss: Who am I outside of work? Our conversation explores this universal struggle to separate personal identity from professional accomplishments. Gentrix candidly shares how she missed countless family milestones while working "weekend overnights" in the relentless grind of media production. The layoff, initially devastating, ultimately offered her the gift of reconsidering priorities that eight years of hustle culture had obscured. Her story resonates with anyone who's experienced career upheaval or questioned their life's direction. Through launching her podcast "Outside of Work," Gentrix begins reclaiming neglected relationships and discovering opportunities beyond her narrow professional focus. "I had blinders on like a racehorse, but now they're off – anything is possible." From starting a notary business to contemplating entrepreneurship in her native Kenya, Gentrick demonstrates how career disruption often reveals possibilities previously invisible to us. Whether you're facing job loss, retirement, empty nesting, or simply questioning your life's trajectory, this episode offers valuable perspective on defining yourself beyond your titles. Join us for this powerful conversation about identity, priorities, and discovering that sometimes, as Shari puts it, "We allow good to stop us from becoming great." Ready to expand your perspective?

Want to Heal from Heartbreak? Build Your Picket Fence Friends 9:54

5 weeks temu9:54

Send us a text Life’s transitions can be tough, especially when faced with heartbreak or significant changes. In this episode, we uncover the profound impact that friendships have on our emotional wellbeing. Join us as we explore the concept of "picket fence friends" and how leaning on our social circles can help us heal during challenging times. We discuss the science behind the "tend and befriend" response, showcasing how our bodies are biologically wired to seek connection in moments of stress. This episode is packed with practical advice for building a robust support system. We highlight the importance of choosing the right friends, setting open communication, and allowing yourself to be supported. You’ll learn actionable steps to forge those meaningful connections and how they can turn heartbreak into healing. By the end of our conversation, you’ll have the tools to establish your metaphorical picket fence, ensuring you never face life’s challenges alone. Remember, healing is a community effort; don’t miss the chance to reach out to your friends. Join us for an uplifting discussion that reminds us of the power of connection and community in overcoming adversity. Subscribe to stay updated on future episodes, and don’t hesitate to share this with someone who might need their own picket fence right now! Build Your Own Picket Fence Step 1: Choose your fence posts wisely. These should be the people who: ✅ Love you unconditionally, but will call you out when needed. ✅ Don’t let you wallow, but also don’t force you to “move on” too fast. ✅ Know how to send the perfect meme at the perfect time. Step 2: Make the official call. Send the group text. Be honest. It might feel awkward, but I promise, your real friends want to be there for you. Step 3: Commit to the process. This isn’t just about texting them when you feel sad. Let them check in. Let them show up. Let yourself be supported. Step 4: When you’re ready, become someone else’s fence post. Because the best part? Once you’ve built your fence, you realize just how powerful it is—and suddenly, you become part of someone else’s.
