Today’s episode takes us into the following:

* How anxiety drives the good, the bad, and the ugly in every relationship and system.

* A Biblical perspective of anxiety as a driver of both functional and dysfunctional behavior.

* Review of self-differentiation and giving context to leadership challenges.

* How to stay steady after you stand up and how to hold onto who you really are, even with intense reactivity from the group or system.

* How holding onto yourself involves four basic activities.

* The importance of prioritizing growth over perfection and flawlessness.

* The power of loving yourself with radical acceptance, even though others are judging you.

* How to avoid a conflict of wills through vulnerability of showing up, without needing to change anyone else.

* Using breathing and physical techniques to calm the nervous system.

* Practicing reframing painful moments through awareness and story exercises.

* Zooming out and externalizing to be able to give reactive relationships the compassion you desire.

* The purpose and power of boundaries, giving consequences to be your best self, not to control others.

* Learning to evaluate past painful moments by engaging a crash site analysis.

* The practice of healthy, appropriate grieving when losses happen, to prepare our hearts for the next time we encounter intense reactivity.
