Episode 2

Topics We Covered:

[1:40]: When we prioritize our relationships  and nurture them, we are able to show up better and healthy in the lives of others. Lean in to who you are so you can show up and be available to serve others. 

[4:22]: Dr. Lynyetta believes in order to create lasting shifts in our culture and world we must begin by shifting the consciousness of families. She’s committed to transforming the world, one family at a time. 

[6:50]: We look back and acknowledge the good and the bad and choose what we will take forward. We honor those that have come before us, those who’ve played a large part in forming the women that you are. We take from them and leverage their wisdom, it influences how you will choose to form the generations going forward with your own approach to relationships. By this, we acknowledge the knowledge and the trauma that has been handed down through generations. 

[12:24]: We have to prune the tree. This is honoring and the type of legacy we want to leave; thoughtful and transformative. Taking the shame out of it is so important. 

[14:30]: Overtime if you don’t find time to balance how you encounter your emotions, you let it out on everyone else and our relationships suffer. This has everything to do with your own care and well-being.

[21:00]: We have to make conscious transitions between work and home. Dr. Lynyetta helps us acknowledge that when we shift from one part of our day to another, like coming home at the end of the day, there are different parts of us required and others that we need to leave behind. Give your nervous system the opportunity to calm down and come back to baseline. There’s an even higher level of intention necessary if you work in a home environment.

[31:30]: What are the myths that you have believed through the years? Understand where your beliefs are coming from, those that have been handed down from you. From there take small steps to honor realizations around feelings. Dr. Lynyetta and Sharnell give practical steps to then move forward. 

[34:00]: We can hurt so many relationships if we don’t stop and become aware of ourselves. Or hard shell and lack of vulnerability that is honored in one setting is not welcomed when it comes to other relationships. Our children are requiring more of us, this generation can see through it and they want all of you. 

[43:00]: Surround yourself with others that will shape you personally and professionally as you are pursuing this next season and navigating your way through. 

[44:30]: Our relationships have a tendency to suffer because we are chasing after something and looking for fulfillment in life. When we are not grounded, we run towards a sense of worth. What we really need is a personal sense of worth and value.

[59:00]: Healing and forgiveness is part of the process of transformation and so important to show up in our life and relationships. 

[1:00:00]: When we prioritize having nurtured and healthy relationships, we’re able to reap the rewards for generations to come. This important work has everything to do with being self-aware and consciously deciding that other people are important to your journey in life and career.
