Love Rice Podcast: Leap, Risk, and the Unknown with Rob Bell
I’ve had a thousand conversations with myself about what I could or couldn’t do in my life. When considering a big change, I’ve mapped it out, planned it out, and then ripped it up and tossed it through the window because there was too much pain and too many unknowns. It’s easy to get knotted up in the hows, whats, and whys instead of taking the kind of leaps that change everything in our lives. It can be paralyzing. You are not alone, I feel it too. If you’ve had any experience teetering on this edge, our Love Rice episode with New York Times Best Selling author, spiritual teacher, author, fellow podcaster for the RobCast and white t-shirt and jeans wearing family man Rob Bell will speak to you.
Podcast Episode: Weird Therapy Series #1–Man Hater
Join me and my friend Nat as we explore “weird therapy” EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing). Nat turned to EMDR when her trauma from her husband’s sexual addiction and their subsequent divorce became too much for her to cope with. The fear that she felt as she watched their life unravel turned into a distrust and anger of men in general, and that’s not how she wanted to live.
Rise Up and Get Your Fire Back
One day, early in my journey and in the middle of a very ugly cry, I staggered up from the floor and stared hard into the bathroom mirror. I saw my face. I was so very tired and grief-stricken. I saw the red blotches on my skin and the mascara running wild and dark. But then I saw my eyes. And by some miracle, I saw they were still shining. I gripped the edge of the sink and leaned in close, inches from the glass. Yes, I confirmed, they were tired and wet, but they still shone with something other than grief. I saw me. I felt me.
