41 I Don’t Agree, But I’m Listening

October 24, 2020 By Shauna

WHAT THIS EPISODES ABOUT…

Hello I’m Shauna Hoffman!

Well, we are just days away from this next election. And if you are listening to it after the election, listen even closer to see how you have navigated this time and if you could have done better.

The anxiety and fear that we are going through as a country has been so overwhelming for so many people. The saddest part is how it is affecting families and friends that have differing opinions, whether morally, ethically, religiously, or politically. The political drama is having a huge effect on families, on friends who would normally get along, with people in the workplace… with neighbors.

As a therapist, I am helping my clients navigate this difficult time. So I thought today I would try and bring some clarity to my podcast listeners. I felt that the best podcast I can do right now may be to help with some healing. A way for us to remember who we are personally, and yet find some level of compassion for those who do not see life as we do.

40 I Learned a Damn Good Lesson. Moving On!

October 17, 2020 By Shauna

WHAT THIS EPISODES ABOUT…

Hello and Welcome! I’m Shauna Hoffman.

I can’t tell you how excited I am that the new revamp to A Journey To Awareness has been so successful! We have had more downloads in the last week than ever. And needless to say, the last podcast on “the art of healthy fighting” is getting the most downloads! I am hearing from couples who are having their partner listen to it, friends who are having issues with each other hang out with a glass of wine and listen, and a bunch of moms and daughters listen to it! Nothing like bringing a little peace to this crazy world right now!

Now let me share what we are digging into today. Lessons learned! And for some people… Lessons you just don’t want to learn! See here is the thing. Self-Awareness’s best growth comes from getting through some lesson… learning from it and then moving on! We are going to dig into these pieces and see where you may get stuck. It was easy when we were in school. We learned a lesson and then moved onto the next.. then onto the next grade.. then onto the next school. Then we graduate!

There is a great saying… The difference between school and life? In school, you’re taught a lesson and then given a test. In life, you’re given a test that teaches you a lesson. ~ Tom Bodett

But for some reason we humans have life lessons that we just don’t want to attack, or don’t want to learn from… or for some reason can’t let go of our emotions around in order to move on.

39 The Art Of Healthy Fighting

October 11, 2020 By Shauna

WHAT THIS EPISODES ABOUT…

Hello, I’m Shauna Hoffman.

So I asked a few listeners about what we should attack on the journey to awareness this week. And one listener said.. healthy communication. Ok, that wasn’t exactly what she said. She said, Can you do a whole podcast telling my partner what they are doing wrong when they fight with me? And then a few other expletives after that. HA! I said, sure. But you may not like what I say. Because fights take two people.

So whether you are listening to this podcast and wondering how to have a really good, healthy fight with a partner, parent, sibling, or friend I now welcome you to the Art of Fighting 101… otherwise known as, “You may have to get past your anger, check yourself, and just listen.”

38 It’s Time For Your Journey To Self Awareness

October 3, 2020 By Shauna

WHAT THIS EPISODES ABOUT…

Our life is the most incredible journey! We have highs and lows. We have huge accomplishments and many struggles. But we travel through them all. I love the thought of our human awakening as a journey.

A journey is described as traveling from one place to another. It usually represents traveling over a long period of time. Well, what is more true than our life’s journey? Our consciousness and our egos, our pains, and our growth, our happiness, and our heartache all taking us on a journey to the deepest parts of ourselves? The Journey To Self Awareness! Oh and the ports we stop at along the way! The people we meet on this journey, the storms we survive, and the beautiful days with the wind in our sails flying us through to our next adventure! The beautiful adventure to the deepest part of our own souls.

The journey to you!
