Strength vs Strength: Perception and Reality...Where's Your Center
01/30/25 • 33 min
Picture yourself at a Buddy Guy concert in Chicago, moments away from an unexpected clash with a 60-year-old woman. It might sound trivial, but this encounter sparked a profound internal battle within me, challenging my understanding of anger and self-control. Broadcasting from the serene Big Island of Hawaii, I invite you to join me on the Murders to Music podcast, where I reflect on this incident and contrast it with the relentless pace of my former life in law enforcement. Through this personal story, I explore the nuances of emotional de-escalation and the shame that often accompanies unchecked reactions.
Ever had someone question your work ethic or intensity, leaving you wrestling with self-doubt? In an unexpected lunchtime conversation, an older man’s unsolicited advice unearthed past criticisms from my years in law enforcement, thrusting me into a whirlpool of self-reflection. As I navigate the tension between maintaining professionalism and managing criticism, I question if my intense nature is truly a flaw or a hidden strength. This episode offers a candid exploration of these internal conflicts, seeking to understand the fine line between vulnerability and resilience.
Life's triggers often catch us off guard, but they can also be gateways to personal growth. Whether it's an interaction that feels insignificant or a memory that lingers, these moments challenge us to understand our emotional responses and reshape our perceptions of strength. As I delve into these encounters, from the simple sight of a police car to exchanges with those around me, I share insights on embracing growth through life’s unexpected moments. I hope these reflections resonate, offering support on your journey to find strength in vulnerability and become a more congruent individual. Tune in, as we explore the interwoven themes of emotional resilience and personal growth under the sunny skies of Hawaii.
