Back to One
You were meant for a full life. However, whatever you experience over and over while you were growing up, becomes your "normal" and we humans are very good at reproducing whatever is "normal" to us. That is fantastic for a few, but really stinks for so many others. Between what you believe about life and the losses you've faced, you may want to break up with your "normal" and discover a life that exceeds your expectations. Imagine getting comfortable with a better "normal".
We can become whole inside, and life can exceed our expectations. Let hope arise as we talk about healing and wholeness in every area of life.
Note: The former name for this podcast was "3Ps in a Pod". You'll hear that in the introductions of older episodes from 2020-21; "Back to One" better fits my hope for us all.

An Opinion on Opinions - Be Careful How You Hear
Everybody’s got an opinion. Share it with caution. Real communication takes real effort.
What is an Opinion? o·pin·ion /əˈpinyən/ noun
a view or judgment formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge. way of thinking, point of view , viewpoint, outlook, angle, slant, attitude, stance, perspective, reflections, idea, assumption, conviction, in my view, if you ask me, the beliefs or views of a large number or majority of people about a particular thing.
Forming opinions are part of how we learn but are risky. Sharing opinions helps gain perspective but opinions could become judgments where we stop listening, stop asking questions and bring division.
Work vs social media response patterns
- The Risks and Benefits of Opinions

- Be careful how you hear. Emotions, mindset, assumptions and their impact on hearing others.

Bald like a lion? Funny stories of what was said versus what was heard.
Couple communication: Listening versus interpreting. Slowing down to speed up.
Seeking common ground and communicating good will.
The benefits of debates
Discussion matters, debate matters, listening matters, telling the truth, getting to the “truth” matters….. in my opinion.
