9: Stopper Your Mouth and Open Your Ears

8: The Importance of Healing: Lisa Williams

Facing our own mess and sifting through the damage and baggage isn't easy, isn't always fun. But I believe that it isn't something we'll regret on the other side, and it's something that is vital to our own journey into harnessing the power of story. This week I'm joined by one of the greatest storytellers I know: Lisa Williams. She is amply experienced in both communication and pain. She helps us understand the importance and steps of healing. Come and be encouraged.

7: Do the Work

Emotional healing is like working out. Good intentions only get you so far if you're not willing to put the work in. Easier said than done, I know. But the work is worth it. Before we can step into someone else's story, we need to confront and conquer our own. Tune in this week for some encouragement and practical steps.

6: Pound on God’s Chest

This week explore why being honest with God not only makes sense, but is so important. Stay connected at pocketspod.com [http://pocketspod.com]

5: Face it and Embrace It

Our exploration of storytelling to enrich relationships takes a big twist as we do an about-face to confront our own stories. Before we can engage with others, we need to face and embrace our own journey. You may need help to do so, and that's ok! Doing the work of healing is key. Join us to discover why that is so important.
