Emotional Loans -- Part 1

Explicit content warning

10/18/22 • 28 min

In this episode, we discuss the idea of an emotional loan. Emotional loans happen when you hold onto things instead of dealing with them in real time. Maybe you weren't completely honest in your words or actions, or you agreed to something just to avoid a conflict. While your initial reaction might be "whew, I really dodged that bullet," over time you may start to feel angry, resentful or unhappy because of what happened days, weeks, months or years before. Those emotions are the interest on your loan and it can be really difficult to make the payments. Brad talks about why it's better to pay with cash, how to start the process of paying off your loans, and how to find help if you need some.
This is first of two parts. Part 2 will be posted next week.

The Relay Race

In most relay races, it's usually the runner on the final leg who gets the most glory. That's the runner who crosses the finish line after either holding onto the lead built by the other runners or coming back from behind. In life, though, we spend most of our time running those middle legs...the ones that position us to be able to cross the finish line at some point in the future.
In this podcast, we talk about running the race, how imposter syndrome creeps into our lives, and how time and experience changes attitudes about success.
