The Liberty HopeCast

We are re-releasing the full episode (vs Parts 1 & 2) where Katie and Hope have a heart to heart with Hope’s missionary brother, Nathan Lloyd-Jones. We learn a little about Nathan and we have real talk about the struggles of parenting. We discuss healthy ways to have conversations with children about their actions. The later half of the discussion moves to a focus on issues with teens, and how parents can persist past seemingly bad attitudes and actions. Nathan provides info on short term mission work with him in Honduras.

Tips from this episode:
As a parent, if you struggle with the ability to verbalize emotions and talk through events with your children, seek support from a more verbal partner or learn from a verbal friend how to better have these tougher conversations. Consider doing “temptation bundling” to match character building with fun activities for your children.

We continue our conversation on Type 9s, with our own Katie and Mary, and guest Jeremy McQuown. Make sure to listen to part 1 if you haven't yet heard it! You don't want to miss hearing the common traits of Enneagram Type 9.
Tips from our Type 9s: Don’t interpret a 9s lack of response as not caring. Consider that they are worn out from caring so much for others that they need some downtime to recharge. If you suspect you are parenting a 9, give them opportunities to choose and “impact the things they can impact”.
Major Quote: On a heart level with 9s, there is a longing for peace and harmony and relational connection with people that we’re going to engage in a relationship and a situation, whatever it my be, with good intentions.
How to show love to 9s: Hold space. See me. Care for my opinions and listen. Focus on what I do, not what I have not done. Helping bring peace to the environment is a loving gesture to a Type 9.

We sit down to discuss our response to our episodes with Types 6-8. We also read some anonymous feedback from those types.

Tips: For sure, for types less in touch with emotions, the discipline of daily journal writing forces you to slow down and get in touch with what you’re actually feeling. Yoga is also a practice that we recommend for every type. When trying to conceptualize your own type, or someone else's, remember the Enneagram number is not the whole entity of a person. Ian Cron speaks of “shades” of a color, or a “low resolution” picture.

Hope and Mary sit down to reflect on the first guests of Season 3. Join us for a recap of our favorite moments with our guests! Guest-related links will be provided below.
Tips from this episode: As you try to cope with finding a "new normal", we recommend staying away from triggering and/or extremely negative input sources. Reading (or rereading) a favorite author or watching a feel-good movie or show might be helpful. Exercise is also something that can provide stress relief.
