Generational Trauma – Grandmas and Mamas and Sons…Oh My!

In this podcast, we welcome our favorite person on the planet, Hunter! We discuss the trauma and the beauty that is passed from one generation to the next and the responsibility we all have in talking about it, acknowledging it and making decisions about what we will pass along. In this authentic conversation, all 3 generations talk about how they moved past what they were taught and decided Which Way? they would move forward. What this family hopes to show is that despite transgressions, mess-ups and blunders, when there is love, the rest falls into place.

Hunter is co-owner of Beyond Blue Media (BeyondBlueMedia.com) and co-leads the “After Party”, a college ministry that meets on Monday evenings at 7:00pm at Everyday Joes in Fort Collins. He is soon to be married and looks forward to the day when he can be a father and help the family legacy move onward and upward.

Adjusting Your Attitude for the New Year – TPS390

When you give yourself more time, you’re giving yourself space to make better decisions.
When things don’t work out, it isn’t a failure. It’s just an outcome.
Are you willing to believe that whatever you’re doing is ok?
What’s going on inside of you affects your outcomes.
Whatever you believe is true is true.
You might want to adjust your attitude towards yourself and the world around you.
You have a choice about how you want to think about things.
I talk about an attitude of detachment.
An attitude of love and understanding would change our society.
During the holidays, you have the choice to develop an attitude of peace.

James Purpura: Seeing Is Not Believing – TPS387

James Purpura has experienced some of the most extreme moments life can offer. Fifteen years ago, he was an inmate struggling with life in solitary confinement, placed there as a result of his actions while homeless and addicted to drugs. While in prison, he reconciled his life and developed a personal philosophy. Once released, he found his wife, created an amazing family, a beautifully prosperous life, and became inspired to share his knowledge with the world.

Highlights

What being in solitary confinement was like, what he learned from it, and how he started to turn his life around.
Taking ownership of his life outcomes was his turning point.
You do not see reality – James explains.
We develop our perception of reality when we are young.
What you see is just an assumption. Mindfulness allows you to see beyond the assumption.
You cannot see what you don’t believe is possible.
Emotions are the window into our subconscious mind.
Emotions draw your attention to your beliefs about yourself.
Every belief has an emotional component.
The emotion will lead you to the belief.
Creating happiness is about changing your internal world. Making more money is about changing your external world.
James shares his emotional integration technique.
In their book, they take things that are complicated and they break them down into something simple.
As soon as you focus on something it becomes part of your possibilities.
There is a cost to being a pessimist.
Positivity opens up your field of possibilities.
There are no bad decisions. You make your decisions based on the information that’s available to you.
Life and growth are about living in the uncertainty of not knowing.
