Like millions of people around the country and the world, I’ve been feeling heartbroken by the devastating tragedy in Texas with the recent floods.  On this episode I share some of my thoughts and feelings about what happened, and about how we can navigate uncertainty and even tragedy with as healthy a perspective as possible.  Our ability to authentically make our way through pain, disruption, grief, and the unknown are both challenging and essential, especially these days.   Resources: We’re All in This Together (book), by Mike Robbins Mike Robbins Website Mike Robbins Blog Mike Robbins Podcast Mike Robbins on LinkedIn Mike Robbins on Instagram Mike Robbins on Facebook Mike Robbins YouTube Channel Mike Robbins on TikTok Mike Robbins on X Mike Robbins on BlueSky  

Emotional freedom is about giving ourselves permission to feel all of our emotions in a healthy way, even the hard ones.  While this can be challenging for lots of reasons, when we have the courage to authentically feel our emotions, it opens up so much capacity for us and deepens our ability to meaningfully connect with others.  On this episode, I talk about some of what makes it difficult to feel certain feelings and some common misunderstandings we have about “positive” and “negative” emotions.  I then share two powerful techniques that can help us access and transform our emotions in an empowering way.   Resources: We’re All in This Together (book), by Mike Robbins Mike Robbins Website Mike Robbins Blog Mike Robbins Podcast Mike Robbins on LinkedIn Mike Robbins on Instagram Mike Robbins on Facebook Mike Robbins YouTube Channel Mike Robbins on TikTok Mike Robbins on X Mike Robbins on BlueSky Atlas of the Heart (book), by Brene Brown Embracing Powerlessness Meditation

Whether it’s leadership, teamwork, performance, navigating change, accomplishing goals, or anything else that matters to us at work and in life…it’s almost always all about relationships.  How we relate to others, how we relate to circumstances, and how we relate to ourselves has so much to do with our level of success or fulfillment (or lack thereof).  On this episode, I talk about why relationships are so important, what can make them challenging, especially these days, and some things we can do to enhance how we relate to those around us, what we’re going through, and to ourselves in the most effective way possible.   Resources: We’re All in This Together (book), by Mike Robbins Mike Robbins Website Mike Robbins Blog Mike Robbins Podcast Mike Robbins on LinkedIn Mike Robbins on Instagram Mike Robbins on Facebook Mike Robbins YouTube Channel Mike Robbins on TikTok Mike Robbins on X Mike Robbins on BlueSky
