Are You Giving Away Your Power? The 4 Practices That Create Freedom | Coffee with John & Joni #2

from WAKE UP! with Joni · host Joni Caldwell Lerner

What if the things causing you the most suffering are also the places where you're giving away your power? In this second episode of Coffee with John & Joni, we go deeper into the Toltec understanding of power and explore the Four Practices of Power: non-attachment, non-judgment, non-suffering, and walking in beauty. John English, bestselling author and longtime teacher of the practical Toltec Path of Freedom, explains how these four practices can transform the way we experience relationships, challenges, decisions, and everyday life. We talk about: • How attachment creates expectations—and suffering • The difference between connection and attachment • Why letting go doesn't mean giving up • How non-judgment opens the door to discernment • Why the need to be right creates conflict • How to distinguish physical pain from emotional suffering • Why talking about our challenges can help us see more clearly • What it means to "walk in beauty" • How the Four Practices connect with The Four Agreements • How to use these teachings as practical tools rather than simply ideas Joni also shares personal stories about relationships, people-pleasing, learning discernment, and discovering the freedom that comes from no longer needing to be right. These are the kinds of conversations John and Joni have been having over coffee for years. Now they're inviting you into the conversation. And perhaps the most important invitation from today's conversation is this: Dare to believe that you are so much more than you ever dared to dream—and that walking in beauty is your birthright. The next Coffee with John & Joni conversation will explore The Four Agreements and how they can be applied to everyday life.
