  • Needing Permission
    Oct 16 2024
    Episode Overview: In this episode, Andrew and Catherine tackle a common challenge—needing permission. Whether it’s waiting for approval to rest, to buy something for yourself, or to pursue a new goal, many of us feel like we need someone else’s okay to live the life we want. The hosts dig deep into why we feel this way, how it’s tied to worthiness, and how we can begin to give ourselves permission to live on our own terms. Filled with relatable stories, practical advice, and a healthy dose of humor, this episode is about empowering you to step into your own life. Key Topics Covered:
    • The Roots of Needing Permission: How childhood conditioning and societal expectations play into our adult lives, creating the habit of seeking external approval.
    • The Role of Worthiness: The hosts explore how needing permission is often a reflection of feeling unworthy or undeserving of the things we want.
    • Permission to Rest and Care for Yourself: Catherine shares her struggle with feeling like she needs approval to take a break or do something for herself, even in her own home.
    • The Life Checklist: Andrew and Catherine discuss the societal "checklist" of life that tells us what we should be doing, and how breaking away from that can make us feel like we need validation.
    • Practical Steps for Self-Permission: Tips on how to start small by giving yourself permission for little things, building up to bigger goals, and how this ties into living a life of purpose.

    Actionable Steps for Listeners:
    1. Start Small: Give yourself permission for simple things like taking a break, buying a small treat, or doing something you enjoy.
    2. Awareness: Begin noticing the moments when you feel like you need permission from others and ask yourself why.
    3. Affirm Your Worthiness: Remind yourself that you are worthy of good things, whether it's a snack or a big life change, without needing external validation.
    4. Journal Your Desires: Write down the things you want to do but haven’t given yourself permission for yet. Start with one and give yourself the green light.

    Quotes: "The only person you need permission from is yourself. Start small, and build that muscle of self-approval." – Andrew Dewar "If something keeps bubbling up inside of you, that’s your heart talking. Give yourself permission to follow it." – Catherine Collins Glimmers of the Week:

  • Storing Emotions
    Oct 9 2024
    Episode Overview: In this episode, Andrew and Catherine dive into a profound yet relatable concept they call the "Emotional Garage." Our bodies tend to store emotions just like we store boxes in a garage, but over time, this accumulation can have detrimental effects on both our mental and physical health. The hosts share personal stories and insights about how unprocessed emotions can manifest physically, how to acknowledge and release these emotions safely, and how to maintain emotional well-being in everyday life. Key Topics Covered:
    • The Emotional Garage: What it is and how we tend to store emotions rather than process them.
    • Impact on Health: How storing emotions can lead to physical ailments and emotional overwhelm.
    • Cultural Influence on Emotions: Discussing the societal conditioning, especially among men, to suppress emotions.
    • The Importance of Emotional Release: Different ways to safely express emotions, including crying, journaling, physical activity, and talk therapy.
    • Personal Stories: Andrew's personal journey of learning to face his emotions after years of avoidance, and Catherine’s insights on the emotional-physical connection, especially with her autoimmune conditions.
    • Visualizing Emotions: How personifying your emotions as "gremlins" or small creatures can help in understanding and releasing them.

    Actionable Steps for Listeners:
    1. Identify Your Feelings: Use tools like the Feeling Wheel to name and recognize your emotions. Understanding what you are feeling is the first step to processing it.
    2. Acknowledge Your Emotions: It’s okay to feel anger, sadness, or frustration. Find a safe outlet to express these emotions, whether it's taking a walk, venting to a friend, or journaling.
    3. Talk to Someone: If you’re struggling to face your emotions, seek a safe space, whether it’s a trusted friend or professional therapist, to begin unpacking those “boxes.”
    4. Give Yourself Permission to Cry: Crying is a natural emotional release. Allow yourself to feel and let go, just like you would laugh or express joy.

    Glimmers of the Week:
    • Catherine: A new, colorful backdrop in her home office, featuring artwork from her twins, has brightened up her space and brought her joy.
    • Andrew: The incredible experience of seeing Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, which left them in awe of the spectacular stage effects.

    Quotes:
    • "You can clean out your emotional garage one box at a time. It doesn’t have to be a spring clean." – Andrew Dewar
    • "Your emotions don’t want to be stuck inside of you. Let them out and watch how much lighter you feel." – Catherine Collins

    • Feeling Wheel – A tool to help identify and name your emotions.
    • The Body Keeps the Score – A book that explores the connection between emotions and physical health.
