  • Summary

  • Around the Table is a place to understand and appreciate others more by hearing, from real people, the real stories that have shaped us, our convictions and our decisions. I pray this stirs up a desire in others to examine and appreciate their own stories as well.

    019 /// Why New Year's Resolutions Work for Some but Not for Others
    Jan 2 2025
    Episode 19 - New Year's Resolutions People generally have a love/hate relationship with New Year’s Resolutions. Some people despise them and swear they don’t work. And then there’s people like me...I love New Year’s Resolutions. Actually, I just love new beginnings and fresh starts and New Year’s is an intentional time to do that, although we can do that any time of the day, week, month, or year. But I love New Year’s Resolutions because, for me, they work! And I believe they work because I don’t set out for them to be goals. Meaning, I don’t have a list of get ‘er done objectives as my resolutions that are subject to quantifiable measures. (For the most part, anyway. I did in 2023 to finish my Loud Is Not a Language book, though.) Instead, I have intentions I know will change me and change those around me for the better if I lean into them on a regular basis and evaluate how those things are showing up in all I am and do. These are intentions to live by that will change me and impact those around me. In other words, I incorporate the practice of a desired quality, which can have far reaching effects vs. behavior for a desired outcome, which has limited effect. In this episode, I am so excited to share with you how I create resolutions I am EXCITED to finish. And you can, too. Learn how to:
    • Ask the right questions to help you determine the right resolution for you - the one you will be excited to finish
    • Discover the motives for your resolutions–and perhaps why those were the reasons resolutions didn’t work out well in the past
    • Develop a plan that will carry you across the finish line and beyond in growing you and those around you
    I welcome you to join me Around the Table today as we discuss how YOUR resolutions can change YOU. --------------- Brenda is a Texas girl who loves God and people and big skies and great coffee.

    Episode 18 - Authenticity and Attachments

    In keeping with the theme of restoring, healing, and/or strengthening our relationships, especially in this world of uncertainty and extreme differences, this episode challenges you to take a look at the two things mental health professionals tend to agree on as the most important factors for our growth as a person:

    1)Authenticity

    2)Attachments

    We all need connection with others. We are wired for that from the time we are born. Babies crave the attunement of their mothers and fathers. They take joy in knowing they are an important part of their world. And as we grow, that desire doesn’t lessen. But the circle grows. We have more opportunity for more attachments, but at what expense? Research shows that most people will sacrifice their authenticity to have the attachments they most want or feel they most need. What does that do to our identity? To the person God designed us to be for a purpose? I welcome you to join me Around the Table today as we discuss Authenticity and Attachments!

    017 /// Love or Fear

    Episode17 - Love or Fear

    Every thought we have can be traced back to a root of either love or fear. Research from neuroscience continues to prove this fact.Fear keeps us disconnected, shaken, and bent on avoiding pain. Love keeps us connected, peaceful and desiring truth despite the pain. Wherever you are sending tumult — whether from your family, your personal relationships, your work situation, the election or a transition you are in... you have a choice where to ground your thoughts. Love or fear. In this episode, I share with you:

    • How to stay steady even when the world around you isn’t
    • How to determine where you are rooted
    • What a healthy connection is
    • How those healthy connections are essential for healthy communities

    I invite you to listen and be encouraged that you don’t have to stay in fear. You don’t have to be shaken. You can be grounded and steady, whatever is going on around you, and you can help others do the same. YOU can make the difference that is so needed in our world. Stay in love.
