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.
