A Healthy Pause

"Making your way in the world today takes everything you've got.  Taking a break from all your worries sure would help a lot."  These are the opening lines from the 80s sitcom Cheers.  During my childhood, my mother and I faithfully watched the show each week, singing along to the theme song.   In episode #18, I explore the reasons behind my brief pause in podcasting in order to understand myself, and to recognize the experiences I've had over the past couple of years.  How do you know what it feels like to be overwhelmed, if that's your natural state?  How do you navigate and make sense of things when all you want to do is duck and cover?  Healing begins when we can recognize the pain and hurt and begin to feel it and make sense of it.  This is my personal journey toward healing and sharing my experiences with others.  We all want to be able to emerge from our darkest days feeling like we've won, or we've been seen and/or heard.  Winning for yourself, does not require that someone else loses, in fact, you've truly won when you can share your winning with others in a way that uplifts and helps them to win as well.  It's my hope that this episode can help others.
