Conversations with Cinthia

Gratitude

As a holiday, Thanksgiving can take a lot of preparation.  But the actual giving of thanks requires ongoing realignment of our hearts and minds.  The good news is that it is worth the work on so many levels!  Now that last Thursday's feast has come and gone, join Cinthia to look at the continual feast that gratitude can create.  To dive deeper into the message of each podcast, we've created a study guide for each episode.

What to Do if You and Your Spouse Are Spiritually Misaligned

We can like, enjoy, and respect people with all kinds of differences from ourselves, but true intimacy requires a shared value system.  We know we will not agree with our spouses about everything all the time – in fact, some might even say that “opposites attract” or that differences can help to create chemistry!  But core values are those beliefs that most deeply influence the way we live our lives.  Join Cinthia to consider your deepest values and how they impact your closest relationships.  To dive deeper into the message of each podcast, we've created a study guide for each episode.

Hold On Loosely

Do you think of yourself as a leader or a follower?  Do you want to teach or to be taught?  Whether or not we own it, each of us gives and receives influence, and we are responsible for our behavior in each role.  How can we own our influence and be teachable at the same time?  What does it mean to be accountable for what we teach and what we learn?  Join Cinthia to talk about all this and more.

When Traditions Time Out

Traditions are powerful, and their impact can be positive, negative, or mixed.  What happens when a tradition seems to do more harm than good?  What about when traditions devolve into going through motions that simply cause more stress, or when family makeup changes and different people bring different traditions to the table?  Is there a way to hold onto the connections traditions provide while respectfully retiring or adjusting those that need to change?  As we enter the holidays, join Cinthia to consider what to do with our traditions.  To dive deeper into the message of each podcast, we've created a study guide for each episode.

The Anti-Burnout Playbook

We've all been there... burnout.  It's the point when we don't care anymore.  It goes beyond stress into the realm of despair.  What do we do when the value of the journey seems to pale in comparison with the tedium, the pain, the effort of continuing?  What about those times when we no longer have much hope, and even the thought of victory seems too far away to matter?  Join Cinthia for a look at beating burnout in our everyday lives.  To dive deeper into the message of each podcast, we've created a study guide for each episode.

The Lost Art of Honesty: Why Do You Lie?

Why do some people lie more often than others?  More easily than others?  Do most people who lie meet the stereotype of a manipulative, generally unethical person?  While acknowledging that lies can come in many forms and happen for many reasons, Cinthia explains that, for many of us, most of our lies result from fear.  So what fears are getting between you and the truth?  To dive deeper into the message of each podcast, we've created a study guide for each episode.

How to Know If You’re A High-Risk Relator

What is it like to be in close relationship with you?  To have a conversation with you?  To stand next to you in line at the DMV?  Today Cinthia encourages us each to consider whether our ways of relating to others are generally more positive or negative and what impact this has on those around us.  She discusses some characteristics that may make us generally more high- or low-risk for others (and vice versa), as well as some habits that tend to make things better or worse for those who cross our paths.  In a society that seems to promote both the selfish indulgence of our own whims at the expense of others AND the anxiety-riddled determination to validate everyone else’s feelings and beliefs all the time, how can we learn to be basically safe humans for the people next to us?  To dive deeper into the message of each podcast, we've created a study guide for each episode.

Be Your Own Best Version: Feeling Good vs. Being Good (10-9-22)

If you’ve listened to the show for long, you’ve heard Cinthia talk a lot about “being your own best version.”  You’ve heard her teach that you (yes, you, personally) are alive for a reason, that God only made one of you, and that He did it on purpose.  No one else can be what He made you to be.  You’ve heard her teach that you can effect change in yourself and in the world around you.  You’ve heard her teach that pain is inevitable and that the effective management of it is imperative for being your own best version.  So are you learning to be your own best version?  And, if not, what is getting in your way?  Today Cinthia explores these established teachings in a new way.  To dive deeper into the message of each podcast, we've created a study guide for each episode.
