  3. Mama Kim - on racism

    In the history of humankind no child was born a racist. Children are born vulnerable, open, loving and in search of love. They welcome differences with curiosity. We have much to learn from children.

  4. Mama Kim - on Yes And!

    You know it is very very possible for more than one point of view to be right at any given time but sometimes we look through scarcity mindset and feel that to be right we must make others wrong. Or perhaps you’ve been on the other side of that. It does not feel good, am i right? Abundance…

  5. Mama Kim - on being heard

    you can not hear me by telling me you are listening. You hear me by listening. And by asking me if i feel heard and if not, what i need to feel heard, and then you listen to my response

  6. Mama Kim - on normal

    What is normal anyway? I tell you what it is. It is a baseline comparison to a standard that does not exist. Or, in other words, it is the bull shit that keeps you playing small. So I say, screw that. When we stop comparing ourselves to an external standard we are able to see our own authentic...

  7. Mama Kim - on a very special Mama Kim

    We right the wrongs of violence, anger and hate through love. That is the heart of the matter. And yes, I know that protests sometimes turned violent - that is something else. I don’t know what it is and I know that it also brings pain to my heart. But what I want to remind us is to remember to...

  13. Mama Kim - on inspirations: pop culture happy hour

    One of my favorite podcasts is called pop culture happy hour and every week they go around and talk about what makes them happy each week. It’s my favorite part of the show in fact. I love hearing other people’s joy and whatever is inspiring their joy. And that inspires my joy even if it doesn’t...

  14. Mama Kim - on personal growth journey

    Personal growth can feel overwhelming, but it’s a journey of discovery and along the way we find a new fear or habit or awareness and we get to decide what to do with that.

  17. Mama Kim - on fear of setbacks

    Fear of setbacks is a little bit like fear of failure but the cost is different. The problem here is the negative focus. If our attention is on the set back we are actually stealing attention from the aspiration and that is working the goal and that means focusing on the plan and celebrating...

  18. Mama Kim - on fear of success

    Marianne Williamson says that our greatest fear is not failure. She says... “it is our light not our darkness that most frightens us” it’s like sometimes we really fear success or not so much success as what it means. What’s the story of success? What comes after it?

  19. Mama Kim - on fear of failing

    Many people have a tremendous fear of failure. The cost of this fear is often not taking risks and playing small or playing safe. This limits the possibility for growth tremendously though too. So one way to address fear of failing is to just fail. You know. Just a little bit at first. See how it...

    To accept the new story we have to grieve the old story.

  29. Mama Kim - on knowing your love language

    When do you feel most loved? Now Think about someone you care about. What do you think their love language is? How do you figure it out? Hah this is a trick question. The best way to figure it out is to ask. Even if they have never considered it before, asking gives them the gift of discovery and...

  30. Mama Kim - on love language: gifts

    There’s no one love language that is better than another. Better to understand what yours is and accept it. Know your partners and learn to speak each other’s.

  38. Mama Kim - on suffering

    Suffering has a lot to do with how we experience a situation and that includes our assessments, beliefs and judgments. Here’s a for example. Let’s say you take on a new challenge... new job, motherhood, moving out, self isolation... when we start something new we are beginners. However we…

    Spoiler alert. It’s bullshit.

  40. Mama Kim - on either/or problems.

    You can either be virtuously ambitious OR you can be satisfied and proud but you cannot be both. This is a nefarious flavor of not enough ness. I asked if she knew any examples of someone who is both ambitious and present. If you can think of just ONE example of someone who defies your belief…

  41. Mama Kim - on making amends

    Promises promises. We all make them. And yes, we all sometimes break them. When we fail to deliver on a promise, trust erodes. Intent does matter. And so does learning from mistakes which means not continuing to make promises you can’t deliver on - they become empty. But even when intent is good...

  42. Mama Kim - on promises

    Why do people make promises they don’t keep? Because it feels so good to say yes. But failing to deliver can be so much worse. Is it worth it?

  44. Mama Kim - on receiving feedback

    So you can dish it out but can you take it? Remember i said feedback is a gift... but just because someone buys you a sweater doesn’t mean you have to wear it all day every day. Sometimes you say thank you, take a look and decide ... this isn’t really me. And that’s true with feedback too. It’s…
