Unlock the Secrets to Managing Emotions with Dr. Alison Cook

Welcome back! I'm with the amazing Dr. Alison Cook, and she has literally the best book on emotions that I have ever read. You are going to love it. She's been on the show before. She's full of wisdom and depth, and this is one of those episodes that you'll want to listen to over and over again. 
 
Today, we talk about our inner workings and the complicated mix of emotions that we all have. She shares about stepping back, noticing the feelings, and the practices to untangle the emotional knots
 
Dr. Alison Cook is a therapist, host of The Best of You podcast, and a bestselling author. She is widely recognized as an expert at the intersection of faith and psychology, Dr. Alison empowers individuals to heal from past wounds, develop a strong sense of self, forge healthy relationships, and experience a loving God who is for them.
In her new book, I Shouldn't Feel This Way: Name What’s Hard, Tame Your Guilt, and Transform Self-Sabotage into Brave Action, she uncovers the conflicting thoughts and emotions that keep us stuck and equips readers with the tools to name, tame, and transform them into clear solutions that help us move forward in confidence.
 
Join Alison and I as we talk about:
Our tangled mix of emotions
Oversimplified solutions we turn to can be very dangerous
How to name, frame, and brave our way through the complexity
Recognizing and addressing instances of self-gaslighting in our daily life
Favorite Quotes: 
03:32 - “We have a bundle of emotions. There are a bunch of them, usually all conflicting with each other.”
11:47 - “It starts with naming. Naming is simply asking yourself what is going on inside myself right now. What am I feeling right now?”
12:28 - “The reason I chose the title, I Shouldn’t Feel This Way, is because that is often the first thing we notice. We noticed we are feeling something we shouldn’t.”
14:43 - “Get curious about yourself and show yourself the same benefit of curiosity that we show our friends, kids, and other people.”

How I Got My Life Together

Let's talk about how I got my life together! This may sound like a crazy thing to talk about because I have been sharing about strategies to get your life back together in the books I have written for the last ten years, all six years of this podcast, and throughout my career of coaching. But it’s true! 
I want to tell you a story about a time when I was the most burnt out, fried to a crisp and didn't know what to do next. I talk about this in my book Remaining You While Raising Them. 
In January 2021, My husband and two of my boys were not doing well. One day while praying, I asked God what to do, and in that moment, He spoke so clearly to my spirit and I knew He was saying it was time to get help. 
In this episode I share how I got my excitement for life back, how I dealt with and processed my emotions, and healed from burnout.
Some of the great things you’ll learn in this episode -
The timing for getting the help we need.
Having a business coach grows your business.
Pride and fear keep us from getting the help we need.
Looking back and celebrating your progress.
I would love to hear from you! DM me on Instagram and tell me how you started taking action. I want to know the progress you’re making so I can cheer you on.

Favorite Quotes: 
02:58 - “I had forgotten the one truth that you will always go further faster in your business with a business coach no matter how good you are on your own. Everybody needs an accountability and a strategy partner.”
03:53 - “The perfect time never comes.  If we wait until we feel it's the right time to get the help we need, we will never do anything. We'll be sitting around waiting until we feel right forever.”
08:32 - “So, if you've been thinking about getting a coach but you worry about the expense, I want to tell you that you will make so much more money with a coach than without a coach. It is the best business expense you will ever have.”
09:31 - “The truth is we need to identify what our best use of time is.”
11:46 - “Pride and fear keep us from obeying the call that God has for us to get some help.”
12:44 - “Remember, an investment in you  benefits everyone around you.”
Recommendations
Sharing one beauty item - IT Cosmetics Foundation in SPF 50, is really quite amazing. Get it with sunscreen because sunscreen is everything. Put it on with a beauty blender and it’s going to look lovely. Bye Bye foundation is where it’s at for a little extra coverage. 
And sharing one food/health item that I love - Allegro green tea. It’s decaf so it won’t pull all the hydration out of your body. It’s a powerhouse! It’s full of antioxidants, it’s anti-inflammatory, it increases blood flow, boosts brain function, and so many other good things. It tastes really good and I love it.

Using a best moments list to get to know yourself and your kids

The Secret Formula to Happy Relationships

Did you know there's a secret formula for making your relationships happier and stronger? Yes, it’s true! There is a secret formula to happy relationships.
Today, I’m going to teach you how to apply this magic ratio in your life with your kids, your husband, your friends, and even at work. 
Dr. John Gottman, the foremost relationship expert, discovered in his research, that in the happiest, healthiest relationships there are five positive interactions for every one interaction. Dr. Gottman’s research shows that couples that maintain this positive ratio are much more likely to stay together and be happy. 
Conflict is not in and of itself a bad thing. It just means you’re living in the world. But when negativity or conflict arises you want to pile on the positives. 
In my book Remaining You While Raising Them I talk about the magic ratio and piling on the positives, big and little. In the book I also talk about friendships. Friendships thrive on positivity. When they need you, be there for them, make some fun plans to hang out with them. These interactions will strengthen your bond.
For our kids it’s as simple as playing their game, reading a bedtime story, or watching a movie with them. Whether they’re five or twenty-five, pile on the positives so that when negativity comes, it balances out.
Our husbands and boyfriends need the positives too. It can be something as easy as sending a really fun text in the middle of the day, planning a surprise date, or getting his favorite candy. Make a point to do something nice for him which is investing in your marriage account.
At work, continually recognizing small achievements of team members as often as possible. Not only will this boost morale but it also increases productivity. When you have to have a tough conversation, you’ve invested in that person, so you’re balancing out the five to one ratio.
Balancing out with the five to one ratio helps keep relationships healthier and helps them thrive.
Favorite Quotes: 
00:53 - “Dr. John Gottman, the foremost relationship expert, discovered through his research that in the healthiest, happiest relationships, there are five positive interactions for every one negative interaction. This doesn’t mean we ignore the negative, but we balance it with more good moments.”
6:52  - “Focusing on creating more positive interactions, we keep our relationships healthier and help them thrive.”
7:11 - “Giving ourselves grace is so important here. Remember, we don’t have to be perfect. We just need to be present and willing to create those positive moments.”
11:02  - “Another great way to foster positive interactions is to celebrate successes, big and small. Whether it’s completing a project on time or someone going above and beyond, acknowledging these moments will boost morale and encourage a positive environment.”
11:46 - “Learning the five to one ratio and piling on the positives will help you continue to build your optimism, your joy and your peace everyday. Piling on the positives helps you cultivate kindness in all your interactions. You do more stuff for others that genuinely makes a difference in their lives.”

The other one is a beauty product. NYX is a delightful powder. It’s completely clear and blots up excessive oil. This is super affordable and is a perfect way to give your face a great touch up.

Healthy Church Life with Natalie Runion

This is the first episode of the all-new Ali Worthington show.
Starting today, we're mixing it up: We will have two shows a week. Mondays will still be your interview, but I will do coaching, encouragement, and all of my recommendations on Thursdays. Just like the series we're in, “Good to Great,” I hope this takes the podcast up a level and that we continue to innovate, improve, and go from good to great. 
I’m with my powerhouse friend Natalie Runion for this week's “Good to Great” conversation. Today, we're focused on church—healthy church, healthy engagement, and healthy grounding in your local church in a way that's life-giving to you and the community. 
This is such an important topic, and as we are growing into women operating at our potential and Power by the Holy Spirit using all of the wisdom that we've learned through the years it's crucial for us to take that same passion and wisdom to church,  and Natalie's going to help us do that. 
Natalie Runion is the USA Today bestselling author of Raised to Stay: Persevering in Ministry When You Have a Million Reasons to Walk Away and the creator of the Raised to Stay Community (@raisedtostay). 
Her latest book, The House That Jesus Built: Leading Our Churches Back to God's Original Blueprint,  will stir your heart to see God’s churches realigned with the Great Commission and the Great Command.
Join Natalie and I as we talk about:
Church unification and focusing on doing what is best for God
The importance of being spiritually and emotionally healthy
Getting the help we need
Signs of a healthy flourishing church
Favorite Quotes: 
7:06 - “We need as women to not keep demanding to be heard but be faithful to the spaces where God has allowed us to use our voices.”
8:42 - “Sometimes the Lord asks us to sit in uncomfortable soil. Not because it’s fun or fair but because He wants to use it to bring change.”
14:32 - “Even if you’re not necessarily being unhealthy in person, we can be unhealthy online.”
15:25 - “As I was going through the scriptures, I realized the blueprint of a healthy church is found in scriptures. We don’t have to recreate this.”
18:23 - “One of the greatest gifts that we can give people in the church is knowing their face and their name, and as women, we are good at that.”
19:14 - “Seek to be a servant before you seek to be seen.”

Overcoming Unexpected Setbacks with Dawn Sanders

Welcome back! Today, we're starting the new series I'm calling “Good to Great” for taking all aspects of our life and saying “let's take this from good to great”. We have a couple of months of amazing guests and amazing topics. There are so many things that I've learned for the first time that I have absolutely been blown away by the power of small shifts in my life. 
Today, I'm with my good friend Dawn Sanders. I wanted to start with this conversation with Dawn for everyone who may be feeling like life has thrown them a curveball. If when you hear me say we're in “good to great”, you're like hey I'm not even in good right now, I wanted to start with a conversation for you. 
Dawn and I are going to talk about what it looks like when we have to overcome something challenging when life throws us a curveball, and how we rebuild life. Maybe for you, it's not that everything is challenging, but there is one part of life that's challenging. I think this is going to be a conversation for you that you're going to get a ton out of. 
Dawn Sanders is an associate minister at First Baptist Church of Glenarden, where she serves as the director of the sermon-based life groups ministry. Dawn has written and taught extensively on overcoming adversity and creating a new life, both at FBCG and on her personal blog.
Join Dawn and I as we talk about:
Dawn’s journey of unexpected loss and the process of writing her new book
Working through unresolved grief
Identifying grief triggers and healing
Taking time to heal vs. the pressure to move on
God’s creative process for rebuilding a life
 
Favorite quotes: 
5:56 - “I had a wonderful mentor who said, “You can lay in bed for two days, but on the third day like Jesus you have to rise if only to take a shower and get back in bed.”
9:15 - “We don’t know what the triggers for the grief are until the triggers happen.”
11:52 - “Take time in pockets where you can in order to let those feelings come.”
12:23 - “If you’re feeling betrayed, teased, angry, hurt, disappointed, feel that. Don’t let it go on and fester. The key is to not sin in it.”
16:19 - “The first step is just hovering with God and aligning ourselves with Him and waiting and trusting that he is going to shine some light.”
16:56 - “The first gift God gives us when He gives us life is time. He gives us time to heal and act.”
26:46 - “We have to be ready for the unexpected”.

How to Make Decisions and Discern God's Nudges

Welcome back! We are in a mini-series of two shows. These are my favorite shows where I get to bring you the best of the best around a certain topic.  
Today we're talking about how to make decisions and discern God's nudges. I'm bringing you some brilliant friends with lightbulb moments and action steps for us. 
Today we have - Emily P. Freeman, Andi Andrew, Havilah Cunnington, and Shauna Nieqiest. 
We're diving into everything from making big decisions, and navigating change well, to hearing God, and how to find your unique way. I’m not here to brag, but it’s a killer “best of” kind of show today!
Join us as we learn about:
Making big decisions with Emily P. Freeman
Navigating grief that comes with change with Andi Andrew
Hearing God’s voice with Havilah Cunnington
Finding our next self as life is changing with Shauna Niequist 
Favorite quotes: 
4:31 - Emily - “Just because it is not the right room for me anymore doesn’t mean I chose wrong in the first place and doesn’t mean I made a big mistake. It just means I am growing, and changing, and life is different now.”
9:20 - Emily - “Recognizing when you don’t feel a peace now means it is time to get curious. Sometimes we assume every flag is a red flag but sometimes a flag is just a flag or a yellow flag and it means slow down.”
13:23 - Andi - “There is a reason why the mourning process in the Bible was so wild and why they would put sackcloth and ashes and wail and mourn. They knew they needed to move it out of their bodies so that they could move forward in life.”
20:42 - Havilah - “The hardest person to hear God for is yourself because you have ulterior motives, desires, and a bad filter.”
23:15 - Havilah - “We want to hear God’s voice because you can’t have a relationship without His voice.”
30:47- Shauna - “If you feel overwhelmed by the mess that your life has become, don't try to go through that alone. Definitely a trained professional therapist is a major gift in that season.”

How to Establish Boundaries and Create Space for Rest

Welcome back! We are in a mini-series of two episodes.  These are my favorite shows where I get to bring you the best of the best around a certain topic. Today, we're talking about boundaries and rest, and I'm bringing you some amazing people with so much wisdom to share.
We're diving into boundaries, sabbath rest, social pressure on women, practical strategies for incorporating rest, and more.  You see why this type of episode is my favorite! I'm just bringing you the best of the best this week and next week in this mini-series. 
If you want to establish boundaries and create space for rest, but you’re just not sure how to do that, this podcast will be a game-changer for you. 
 
Join us as we learn about:
The dangerous effects of busyness, why it’s so important to slow down, and Sabbath rest with John Mark Comer
How we can reframe work and rest in Christian culture with Terra Mattson
What women get wrong about boundaries with Dr. Sasha Shillcutt
Practical strategies for incorporating rest with Jess Connolly
 
Favorite quotes: 
1:48 - John Mark Comer -
“There are two different types of busyness. There is the healthy kind of busyness that just says you have a lot to do and that you are not wasting your life on Netflix and Facebook, but you are doing something meaningful with your life. I am 100% for that kind of busyness, and by that definition, Jesus was very busy.”
3:44 - John Mark Comer -
“Love, joy, and peace are incompatible with hurry.”
8:12 - John Mark Comer -
“Some kind of a daily touch point of quiet with God where you come to rest is so important. Start where you are at not where you feel like you should be.”
11:39 -  Terra Mattson -
“Rest can look lots of different ways.”
15:03 - Sasha Shillcutt -
“Boundaries are more about keeping the good in than they are about keeping the bad out.”
26:46 - Jess Connolly  -
“Start with the small stuff, and it gives you the bravery for the big stuff.”
31:04 - Jess Connolly -
“I can extend my boundaries and borders to love and to take care of other people, but I have to have boundaries to extend first. I have to have a sense of self and wholeness with God with me before I can be generous with other people.”
