Episode 49: How Fear & Lack Blocks You from Authentic Connection & Joy with AmyJo Mattheis
/Do you ever feel that you are not enough, that you can't get all the things done, or that you can't give enough to your kids and your partner?
I sometimes feel and think this way, and I know I am not alone. As Brene Brown puts it, we all have moments of this "never enough" problem, and we becoming overwhelmed by feelings of disconnection, lack, and fear...
As you know, I am on a MISSION to help parents overcome these feelings of fear, lack, and separation. In this community, I want us to help each other heal our old wounds & find new ways of thinking, feeling, and BEING with ourselves and our loved ones so that we can live in love, abundance, and unity.
To help us achieve that, I'm bringing in a colleague who shares this mission: AmyJo Mattheis. She brings years of rich and varied professional experiences to all she does. She is a scholar and a former professor like me who now helps people live more authentic, connected lives.
Here's an overview of our conversation:
Causes of stress, the feelings of chaos, and being ungrounded
How to shift from Fear, Lack, and Separation to Love, Abundance, and Unity
The storytelling/retelling tool that can be applied and used again and again.

And don't forget to listen to (or re-listen to!) Episode 7: The Truth about Triggers, Trauma, and Unconditional Love where we discuss the origin of our triggers, as both parents and partners: How they come to be, what they mean about us and our inner world and narrative, why they so often emerge in our most significant relationships, and how we can respond consciously to the child in front of us by healing the hurting child within us.
