250 Satisfying Relationships Are A Choice

Sometimes what we want in life are things that may not be the best fit for us, be it a new leadership position and you’re either too bossy or too shy to effectively get the job done, or maybe it’s just a car that doesn’t run as well as we hoped it would. Regardless it is important to be able to keep our companions close in these times due to the valuable insight our inner circle can give us.

In this episode Sarah Elkins reflects on the importance of having people in your life who are willing to point out the mistakes you make with compassion, and why it is so necessary to be willing to change for the betterment of the relationships that are held dear.

249: Your Circle Is Critical To Your Success

To achieve what we want in life we often must consult with our inner circle to find support and guidance when we feel lost or confused. Conversely if these people do not encourage your personal success and drain you it is time to shed these people and seek out those who will grow with you.

In this episode Sarah Elkins and Jennifer Jane Young discuss the importance of one’s inner circle and how these people encourage growth and make you feel appreciated.

247: Our Biggest Obstacle Is Sometimes Ourselves

Many times in life we do everything within our power to achieve our goal, whether that be a new job, to bring pride to others or ourselves, and to finally get over that hurdle our mental health has been lately. It’s easy to forget how far you’ve come when you see how far you still have left to go, but that doesn’t mean you can’t celebrate your accomplishments now.

246: How Your Authentic Self Changes With Time

As we journey through life, conflict and confrontation of the self is inevitable, but it is how we face these challenges that reveal our most authentic selves.

245: Our Authenticity Depends on Our Values, Not Our Comfort Zones

Throughout our lives we learn many lessons about ourselves and others, how we move on and grow from these lessons is how we become better versions of ourselves even if at the time it seems painful. By sharing what we’ve learned and our interests in a constructive and compassionate way, without sounding condescending or judgmental we can achieve our best selves.

In this episode Sarah Elkins and her guest Tony Michaelides, an accomplished Author and former Music Industry Executive, discuss the importance of being authentic in your stories and how they influence your audience in a way that is for the better, instead of being outrageous and telling your stories for the perceived “glory” of having a legacy.
