44 | Embrace Your Humanity and Stop Trying to Transcend, Perfect, and Deny It

BUY WRESTLING WITH LIFE MERCH
A huge shift is taking place in my heart y'all. My priorities are shifting. Things that used to keep me up at night just don't anymore. "Making it" by the world's standards and crafting a certain image for myself just feels like a silly waste of time. I'm saying goodbye to being obsessed with my own little world and myself, always trying to be right and justified in my perspective...
When you operate from the ego, peace is not possible. You focus on things you think will ultimately make you happy but actually leave you empty: status, money, titles, self-importance, accolades, recognition, credit, and praise.
I used to think humility was the opposite extreme of this: shrinking yourself, not caring about success at all, and operating from a place of low self-esteem.
But it's not that at all. Humility is actually how we tame our ego and find true peace, wonder in the world, joy, contentment, and purpose. Tune in to hear more <3

43 | Wrestling With Faith: Feeling Doubt, Shame, and Anger with God and the Church

BUY MERCH: Wrestling With Life merch is finally here baby!!!!! Get your hands on a big comfy embroidered hoodie or trucker cap ;) More merch coming soon. Lesssss goooooo
Today we got one of my besties, Baby Bri, on the mic for a vulnerable convo about faith: how we've both wrestled with doubt, shame, and anger towards God and the Christian church in general.
Boy oh boy have I avoided this topic for a long time y'all. I have been so angry with the church for many years, but I'm finally starting to see light at the end of the tunnel.
Even if you're not a Christian and you don't believe in God, I encourage you to give this episode a listen. We cover:
How judgmental people in the Christian church can be and why this is so harmful
How it's easy to be turned off to faith for this reason
How Christians can speak and model truth in love instead but still stay in your own lane

42 | Choose Authenticity Over Acceptance: Go Where You Can Be All of You

41 | Stop Trying to "Fix" or Change People: Inspire Them Instead

This one is for all my "fixers" out there :) Anybody with high standards for themselves (AKA all of you beautiful people) likely has high standards for the people in their life, too. That's why it can be so frustrating when we think the people around us are slacking.
A lesson I've learned the hard way: you cannot fix or change people. They have to want that for themselves. In this episode we discuss why being a fixer is actually toxic and how you can inspire people to be better instead :)

In the gym?

In your lifestyle?
At school?

If you have, you're not alone. We're living in a digital age where numbers are everywhere and it's really hard not to focus on them.
