Growth Minded Marriage - Our Return to Leadershape with Kristen Young
play

12/31/20 • 36 min

Kevin and I were thrilled when Kristen Young, Executive Director of Leadershape, accepted our interview request. In doing so, she took a big leap of faith. She exemplifies someone who is willing to take a risk and open herself up to new experiences, something Kevin and I deeply value. Kristen believes in the mission of Leadershape, "To transform the world by increasing the number of people who lead with integrity and a healthy disregard for the impossible." The last 16+ years of Kristen's life have been dedicated to helping others see their own innate greatness and become agents for positive change. Two of those people were Kevin and I when we attended Leadershape's flagship program, The Leadershape Institute. Our conversation with Kristen clarified how the values and ideas planted in us at Leadershape have continued to guide us. A lot of pieces fell together for Kevin and I, and a lot of questions were answered as to where we got this desire to align our lives with our passions and values. We hope this conversation inspires you to ask some questions about your own purpose and passions. Let's Grow!

Growth Minded Marriage - Raw and Unscripted: Parenting- The Beginning, Our Struggles Now
play

01/28/21 • 42 min

If you are struggling to stay calm with your child and don't know who to turn to, you can call The National Parent Helpline 1-855-427-2736 (in the U.S.)
With a bit of nerves we offer this honest conversation about our parenting journey thus far. In the first half of this episode, we bring you up to speed quickly on the past 7 years of parenting. Some of our listeners may not even know we have kids! We have a son who is nearly 7, and two girls ages 5 and 3. But, this episode really is about the struggles we have been facing in parenting since the pandemic. We just aren't exactly sure what we are doing wrong, or if it is supposed to be this hard? All we know is that we have to keep going even when we don't want to, keep seeking advice and keep communicating with each other.
This conversation is the first of a two part series. In two weeks we look forward to sharing a conversation with Kerri Gray, LMFT M.S. Kerri is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. She works with ReDiscover and Lee's Summit CARES, nonprofits in our local Kansas City area, to bring education to parents, kids and teens using the positive parenting approach. Kevin and I are anxious to talk through some of our struggles with her and receive guidance from her positive approach to parenting. Along with her expertise she will be sharing some free resources to help us all be happier parents raising happier kids. Amen!

Growth Minded Marriage - Solo episode: Mary starts a self-compassion practice
play

11/26/20 • 25 min

I feel truly inspired to share my new self-compassion practice. You know when something just hits you on the right day at the right time and it feels like you just stumbled in to your future??? As I continue on my personal growth and healing journey I have become more and more open to new ways of approaching the same problems and finding a lot of creative solutions. Self compassion feels like the next creative (yet logical and rooted in science) addition to my journey. I release the feelings of foolishness or vulnerability when I tell people "every morning I look in the mirror and tell myself that I am my own best friend". Nobody judges me more than me, and now I say enough. I deserve better.
Resources I mention:

This is NOT a comprehensive list, but truly where I started. These three researchers (Germer, Neff and Shapiro) appear to be the biggest names in the field. So I definitely stumbled into the best place to start.
I am honored you are joining me on this journey, and I want to hear from you. Seriously!

Growth Minded Marriage - We Grew From Wanting More to Feeling Enough
play

04/22/21 • 21 min

“Most of life is choosing what you already chose.... Our lives are stories of recommitment. ~David Brooks
Kevin and I come full circle in this episode. We are recommiting to our dream life. Our lives will be a balance between a satisfaction with who we are now, and an openness towards who we could become. We are focused on making the ordinary feel extraordinary. Our lives are about staying true to what we have already chosen, and exploring the expansive world our focus now allows us to see. Plus, we continue to re-establish intimacy between the newest versions of ourselves.
*Editors note: After numerous listens it was determined that Kevin was in fact correct in his early assessment @ 3:10. Mary was possibly a tad defensive in the moment. #youwereright

10/08/20 • 27 min

We share a real time update of what's been going on since we launched the podcast. To be clear, we recorded half of this episode the week before episode 1 aired, and then we inserted a part starting at 12:38 the week after it aired. Confusing, but authentic, we hope you enjoy.
We discuss:

  • an uncomfortable conversation in which we realize we are on separate dream life journeys
  • the resolution to that conversation and how we plan to move forward
  • how the podcast is already a success
  • why Growth Minded Marriage will only air new episodes every other week

Growth Minded Marriage - Season 1 Finale: Ending on a Crash and Burnout
play

06/17/21 • 31 min

Join our Growing Together email community HERE
Whether you believe burnout, adrenal fatigue or HPA axis disruption are real medical conditions or not, it is undeniable that stress has a negative impact on the body. We all have different sources of stress and different tolerance levels for that stress. This is not about comparison, who has it worse or who can suck it up and keep going longest. This is an honest conversation where Kevin and I realize that we just don't feel good. We want to own that and move forward with a more gentle approach to our life. We know we have to say no to some things, even exciting things, in order to protect the life we already cherish.
With that awareness, we share our main takeaways from Season 1 and how we plan to move forward. Join us for our final episode, and thank you for being a part of our journey. Let's grow!

This is the second episode of our 2 part series on parenting. Check out Ep. 12 to start from the beginning. Kerri Gray is a mother of 4 and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who has spent the bulk of her career teaching positive parenting classes to families in the greater Kansas City area. Now, due to the pandemic, her classes have been moved online and made accessible to everyone. She works in conjunction with a non profit organization in the Kansas City area called, Lee's Summit CARES. I found Kerri after hearing that Lee's Summit CARES offers positive parenting classes near our home. They referred me on to Kerri and she graciously accepted our request to be interviewed. We were humbled by her patience with us, generous spirit and passion for helping parents gain resilience, reduce stress and find community.
