The echoes of my father's inspiring career pivot from Boeing engineer to a beloved math teacher for deaf students serves as a testament to the transformative power of meaningful work. His story and the many others we've shared underscore the immense satisfaction that comes from aligning our work with what stirs our spirits. Throughout this episode, we discuss not only how to craft a happiness blueprint in our professional lives but also the importance of sprinkling seeds of purpose through volunteer work. As we wrap up part 4 of this 5 part series - creating a happiness blueprint - we explore together how these small yet intentional acts of service can sprout into a garden of joy and fulfillment, enriching both our lives and the community around us.

Want to Heal from Heartbreak? Build Your Picket Fence Friends 9:54

7 днів тому9:54

9:54

Send us a text Life’s transitions can be tough, especially when faced with heartbreak or significant changes. In this episode, we uncover the profound impact that friendships have on our emotional wellbeing. Join us as we explore the concept of "picket fence friends" and how leaning on our social circles can help us heal during challenging times. We discuss the science behind the "tend and befriend" response, showcasing how our bodies are biologically wired to seek connection in moments of stress. This episode is packed with practical advice for building a robust support system. We highlight the importance of choosing the right friends, setting open communication, and allowing yourself to be supported. You’ll learn actionable steps to forge those meaningful connections and how they can turn heartbreak into healing. By the end of our conversation, you’ll have the tools to establish your metaphorical picket fence, ensuring you never face life’s challenges alone. Remember, healing is a community effort; don’t miss the chance to reach out to your friends. Join us for an uplifting discussion that reminds us of the power of connection and community in overcoming adversity. Subscribe to stay updated on future episodes, and don’t hesitate to share this with someone who might need their own picket fence right now! Build Your Own Picket Fence Step 1: Choose your fence posts wisely. These should be the people who: ✅ Love you unconditionally, but will call you out when needed. ✅ Don’t let you wallow, but also don’t force you to “move on” too fast. ✅ Know how to send the perfect meme at the perfect time. Step 2: Make the official call. Send the group text. Be honest. It might feel awkward, but I promise, your real friends want to be there for you. Step 3: Commit to the process. This isn’t just about texting them when you feel sad. Let them check in. Let them show up. Let yourself be supported. Step 4: When you’re ready, become someone else’s fence post. Because the best part? Once you’ve built your fence, you realize just how powerful it is—and suddenly, you become part of someone else’s.
