Episode 20: In this part 2, we continue our conversation about how to break free from beliefs and actions that keep us from thriving and moving forward with focus and purpose, specifically with our weaknesses. How we interact with our weaknesses really matters. We've been taught and conditioned from our earliest years that weaknesses are meant to be turned into strengths. Think about it: how many times were you encouraged or even forced to improve things you weren't really good at?
Are we supposed to improve our weaknesses? How much improvement is necessary? We all have strengths and weaknesses, but how do we determine which weaknesses deserve attention and which we can leave alone? How often do you feel guilty, embarrassed, and frustrated because you don't have someone else's specific trait or skill? Did you know over 50% of your personality traits are part of your DNA? Some strengths didn't come in the package!
In part 2, we are going to focus on how we can determine if (yes, I did say if) a weakness can become a strength if we even need it to be a strength, and how strong it has the potential to be. You know that you really can't be awesome at everything, so that means you will suck at many things. If we can't accept this, if we can't celebrate who we are, then we will work ourselves to exhaustion trying to continually improve our non-strengths (AKA: Weaknesses).
In this episode, I will share with you:
1. The weakness catagories
2. The problem with the weakness bucket that leads to shame
3. Why the "So What" approach makes sense
4. How we moralize and spiritualize ourselves into stuckness
5. How to use "So What" to determine which weaknesses don't matter
and so much more. It's all packed into this episode and delivered with love. This episode has deep application for your professional goals and relationships as well as your personal mission and the relationships that matter most to you. I know how much this reframing empowered me and my clients to change how they approach weaknesses. I want you to know this too, because God wants you to be F R E E!

Episode 19: Do you want to be proactive, intentional, and in charge of how you respond to pain, hard things, and obstacles? How does perfectionism sneak into your desire and efforts, ruining your best plans? I certainly know about perfectionism. Over the last decade, I have clearly seen that my patterns of thinking and doing could no longer work. In the hardest and most painful years, I realized that perfectionism was more in control than me, and it made life more painful.
In this episode, I talk candidly about perfectionism and four areas that every person, regardless of age, is forced to deal with. However, the perfectionist has her own spin on how she approaches each of these, and we'll stay in perfectionism until we face our thinking patterns and habits.
The four areas are:
1. Time 2. Hard Times/pain 3. Weaknesses 4. Values and the overarching element we also must consider is God.
This episode is close to my heart. I am forever grateful for the wise folks who were part of my journey of learning and growth. I've not "arrived", but I celebrate where I am today and hope this episode encourages you along your path toward peace, purpose, and joy.

Episode 18. Some pressure in the right amount and for the right reason can be incredibly motivating. However, over 60% of women feel stressed and overwhelmed by unreasonable external and internal pressure nearly daily. We feel under pressure at work, in our family, and even at church, and when we look around it seems normal.
But did you ever stop to ask if you agreed to this storyline? Do you want to feel all this pressure? Have you stopped to ask, "What if I don't have to live this way?"
Let's push back at the cultural norm of "overbusy, stressed, and living on a prayer." You don't have to live with toxic pressure.
In today's episode you'll learn more about
- Why we believed all along that pressure/stress is unavoidable
- How the right amount of pressure unlocks motivation
- What happens in your brain when pressure stacks up
- How to find the real pressure and expose the fake pressure
- The one relationship that is 100% pressure-free
In all stages and seasons of life, we are made to live free, not in a pressure cooker. College students, young professionals, busy moms, or retired, a pressure-filled life heaps on stress and keeps you from being who you are and doing what is most meaningful. Ready to get our from under the pressure?

In this episode, I'm talking about something nobody mentioned to me in over 40 years of living. People often resist good growth and beneficial changes in you! We often aren't prepared for this, leading to confusion, frustration, setbacks, and conflict. When we make positive changes to our workflow at our job, when we work hard and learn how to do something successfully, or when we grow personally in our ability to stop over-scheduling ourselves, we expect others around us to support and appreciate the good changes. But sometimes people just aren't having it. They resist the good changes.
In this episode, you'll learn more about why some people push back and even push against us. Sometimes the responses reveal the nature of the relationship. Sometimes our loving friends and family are having momentary lapses into self-centered thinking as they adjust to the new you. Either way, we will need to respond to the resistance in ways we feel good about. We don't want to overreact and regret what we say, but we also don't want to bury our feelings and avoid dealing with their behavior, either.
We can respond in logical and healthy ways when facing resistance, no matter who it's coming from. Intentionally responding to resistance helps us keep on our own path, protect our peace, and fairly assess the relationship.
You'll learn more about
- Giving short reply
- Letting people disagree
- Taking a break
- Recognizing Lies
- Trusting yourself (without their affirmation)
This is the episode that I wish that I had in my fourties during an incredibly difficult time. My own growth, boundaries, and healthy changes created so much resistance and pushback. Eventually, I had to let go of close family members because the process revealed their unkind and narcisstic nature. I am grateful to have these responses available to me today when I face resistance. I also continue to be self-aware so that I catch myself when resisting the good change in others.

In this episode, we get honest about the problems people can bring with their opinions, why agreeable people tend to collect opinions, and how to filter out and disqualify the harmful ones.
We've been conditioned to hold people's opinions in high regard. It can feel prideful or mean to discount them quickly. However, opinions can get us off track and slow us down. They can be extremely discouraging and even harmful. And to be honest, there are so many opinionated people who are ready to give them out free of charge, we need some way of calming down the noise so that we don't lose our own values and ideas in the process!
Women who want to learn and make informed, sound, wise decisions, succeed in their personal and professional lives, and enjoy meaningful relationships often seek out opinions. They receive unsolicited opinions graciously with an open mind. And we often discredit our own experiences, wisdom, and smart thinking in the process.
We often forget this key fact: People are not very smart. It's true!
It's also really important to realize that not all advice comes from a genuine place. We need to be real about it, because whether it's intentional or not, many times people are mixing in their own insecurities, jealousy, frustration, short-comings, and competitiveness with their opinion.
If you care about "getting it right", you may fall into the trap of seeking, attracting, and accepting so many opinions that you stop trusting yourself. I've been there time and again.
Today's episode is a wonderful reminder to us all that we probably know more than we are realizing. We are wiser than we give ourselves credit, and it isn't uncaring, prideful, or close-minded to trust our own opinion.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on this episode. What can you say to that over-engaged family member or co-worker the next time they offer an unhelpful opinion? Would you use my line or come up with your own?

This is an episode about how to face two common ways we self-sabotage and reduce if not eliminate it from our lives. There are so many kinds of creative thinking patterns, behaviors, and habits that effectively stop us from doing what we want to do. We also stop ourselves from learning, and growing.
Why do we do it? Even George Michael from the band, Wham, cries out in the epic 80's song, Everything She Wants, "Oh why do I do the things I do?" This is a great question. If you have the answer, please let me know!
There are two very common and subtle ways that we self-sabotage, and focusing on these two in the episode seems smart. Of course, I will share some real-life stories.
Let's face unrealistic expectations and procrastination head-on. Let's force these two culprits to back off so that we can do the meaningful things, the important dreams, the necessary tasks, and live more in the "I Meant to Do That" space.
As always, this is a zero-shame episode. Shame is no friend of ours and it just doesn't fit in with the truth of living in the freedom that comes from Grace.
I'd love to hear from you. Do you relate to these two sneaky sabotagers? If they operated as the three musketeers, what would be your third?

13. Permission granted to make time for fun. No, it's not frivolous. In fact, fun is just as important as productivity. Your well-being, relationships, and work success depend on your consistent ability to add fun to your life and to lighten up!
When we are in the middle of chaos, busyness, or challenging seasons, we are tempted to grind it out with our heads down! Why? Because it seems frivolous, expensive, and time-consuming. Frankly, fun seems not suited for the seriousness of the situation. But without authentic fun, stress, despair, frustration, and even depression can take over our energy and spirit.
In today's episode, Kerri shares more about the necessity of having fun and how to take ourselves less seriously. You'll learn:
- Why fun is harder for some people and what to do about it
- The three elements that make up fun
- How to quickly discover what is truly fun for you
- The importance of taking your failures less seriously
