8. Not your Average New Years Resolutions: a refreshing and HOPE-filled approach to our annual goal-setting fiasco

You know the drill. By the time December 29 rolls around, most of us are stuffed to the brim with Christmas cookies and a corresponding plate of self-loathing. We're ready to turn a corner with LOTS of ideas for how we can improve. But we all know the story. A few months (weeks? days?) go by and we're right back where we were. We're missing something. I'll give you a hint - IDENTITY. In this episode, we unpack a fresh approach to New Year's goals that aligns us with who we are and what we value! This approach takes the pressure OFF of the outcomes and center our focus on who we're being. The result? More confidence. Less self-loathing. And more actually meeting our goals! You won't want to miss this episode. We get REAL about our own failed goal-setting. There are a lot of laughs mingled with our painfully honest conversation. Then Faith deals out the New Year's practice she uses and shares with her clients and why it's SO MUCH BETTER than what we usually do every January. Grab your friends and listen in!

7. Avoiding the "hero" pitfall, presence as productivity, and pioneering change in law enforcement with Police Chaplain Heather Gates, MSW

In this episode, we sit down with Heather Gates, a chaplain for the Galveston Police Department. Heather's fresh take on this traditional role has been so effective that the city of Galveston recognized and funded her role to ensure she keeps up the amazing work. Work that looks a little different than what you might expect. She shares how she navigates the layers of trauma in supporting law enforcement while experiencing scenes herself, the power of simply being present and the work required to cultivate that presence, building trust while pioneering a new role and so much more. You won't want to miss the wealth of this conversation with "boots on the ground" social worker and chaplain, Heather Gates.

5. The one practice you MUST use to find balance and live in alignment with your values

Have you heard the phrase, "Saying yes to one thing is saying no to something else"? We all have to make choices if we're going to live our fullest AND most peaceful lives.

3. Unpacking Polyvagal Theory and how you can cultivate felt safety in your body

In this episode, we continue exploring the stress response by unpacking the "polyvagal theory." We talk through the modes of our nervous system: rest and digest, fight or flight, and fawn/freeze. We talk through what's happening on a physiological level, what it feels like to be in these modes, where they might show up in our lives and how our response in one moment have implications far beyond. We then talk through how, with that understanding, we can learn to navigate those moments to stay more aware and conscious of our response so that our lives aren't run in "survival mode."

2. Survival Mode in Social Services: How our stress response impacts our whole lives

In this episode, we dive into our stress response and how living in "survival mode" shows up in our work in social service. Our brains and bodies have this amazing process that takes over in the face of a threat. But that process doesn't just impact that moment - it carries over into how we see the world, and ourselves in it, as we move forward. Understanding this process and learning to recognize it in ourselves is key to helping us navigate our roles in social services.
