63. How Can We Find Balance in Focusing on Ourselves?

Welcome back to another episode of Relationships Unraveled! On today’s episode, I break down the complexities of self-focus, distinguishing between unhealthy self-absorption and beneficial self-awareness. I discuss the struggle between the natural inclination to protect yourself and the biblical call to surrender to God's will. I want to encourage you to be honest about your motivations and to joyfully anticipate God's work in your life as you learn to let go of self-protective tendencies. I hope this episode helps you to start a  journey towards a balanced self-awareness that allows for personal growth and service to others!

62. Understanding Yourself Beyond Your Personality

I have a controversial topic I'm sharing today - and that is more on understanding yourself beyond just your personality.  We can often use our personality in different situations to explain the "way that we are". Instead of just "being bossy" or "confrontational", it's about finding the right balance between being assertive and staying true to yourself.  I talk more about the Enneagram as a means to understand personality and how we can use it to bring forth self-awareness and discernment in our interactions with others. I want this episode to help you think about how your personality traits affect your relationships and to strive for a deeper self-understanding to foster more genuine connections with the people around you. I want this episode to open up a conversation with you, so let's chat more! Send me an email at ru@marandakirk.com or DM me on Instagram @marandakirk [https://www.instagram.com/marandakirk]
