Making Space for Your Gifts (with Matthew Werenich)

None of us are strangers to “the grind,” and yet we all have things that peak our interest or that we’re good at, but it just never seems like we have time for them. However, as Kristen and Matt talk about in this episode, we all make time for the things that we really care about. So, join them in this conversation to explore how to practically make space in your life for your hobbies and gifts without it being a part of a pressured to-do list or without the expectation that you’ll do it perfectly.

Making Space for Dreaming (with Sarah Colantonio)

We all want to live a life of purpose, where we make a difference whether it be in our small little corner of the world, or something on a more grander scale. However, for some of us dreaming doesn’t come as second nature. Join Kristen and Sarah as they talk about some helpful tips like speaking your dreams out loud, including others, writing it down, etc. and throw in a few of their favourite things like Bob Goff and movie quotes. You’ll leave inspired to chase after what your unique purpose is.  ADDITIONAL RESOURCES 'Undistracted' and 'Dream Big' books by Bob Goff

Making Space for Others (with Danielle Van Ee)

We are not meant to do life alone, whether it be in the most exciting times in life or when life doesn't seem to be going our way, we all need people to lean on. However, we are usually so busy that we can get all caught up in ourselves and our own day-to-days so much that we don't even notice the people around us. We can have people around us that we know through proximity or by just having similar interests but it takes intentionality to then go to the next step of deeper relationships. In this episode, join Kristen and Dani as they take about what it means to make space in our lives for other people in a more real, deep, and meaningful way while maintaining healthy boundaries.  ADDITIONAL RESOURCES * 'Boundaries' by Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend [https://www.amazon.ca/Boundaries-Updated-Expanded-When-Control/dp/0310351804/ref=sr_1_1?gclid=Cj0KCQiA54KfBhCKARIsAJzSrdqcVfa7jiMJ1u0LQhNpF2-WikGbS_5ziguLJ3mPoLhwlAGUVaJcruQaAlWEEALw_wcB&hvadid=208309198298&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=1002470&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=5368778938296728976&hvtargid=kwd-309422365095&hydadcr=2880_9643529&keywords=boundaries+by+henry+cloud&qid=1675690840&sr=8-1]

Making Space for Healing (with Calvin Forbes)

We all have been through situations in our lives whether they feel small or big that require some level of healing. However, healing not only requires intentional action but it is also not a linear process. You will never be the same person that you were before the incident occurred and that's okay. Join us as Calvin honestly shares about his own healing journey in the last number of years and what it means to compost things in our lives instead of recycle. We talk about all things self-care, getting help, having a wise community, and how to learn to process emotions specifically as a leader.  Want to leave a note or add to the conversation?
