As we enter a new month, we just want to take a pause and say thank you!

For all the support that you have showed us; before, during and after our break.

To walk away from something for this long and to come back and find out that our audience has been showing up and supporting us by listening to our previous content through the break is unreal.

We are looking forward to continuing fostering a space where we can all talk about the “it”s that no one wants to talk about.

Thank you, we feel the love and the support!

Happy New Year everyone! Today we’re celebrating 3 things:
1) The gift of seeing a New Year!
2) We have reached over 1K episode downloads!
3) It’s our 1 year anniversary!

We are in awe of how amazing this past year has been. As we reflect, we can’t help but think about how nervous we were to start this podcast, but with God’s gentle nudge and the passion He placed in our hearts for having open, honest, and safe conversations, we took a leap of faith and started. We are so grateful to Him for everything, and to you all for riding with us. Cheers to a new year!

- Much love,
Olejuru & Paula

“I think something that’s important to remember also—something that I have been working on and thinking a lot about—is the idea that making a mistake or feeling like you’re learning the same thing over and over and over again doesn't mean that you’re not making any real change or any real progress. It just potentially means that it brings that [issue] up in your consciousness more often, and because it’s up in your awareness so often, every time you don't make it, it feels like that is what gets emphasized. And so I would completely agree with you in saying, “It's okay. Just keep going. Don't give up.” - Olejuru

When explaining an approach to courageous conversations, Lance refers to Glen Singleton’s four conversation agreements, stating that “We need to agree on how we are going to talk to each other before we get into any conversation. We need to establish some parameters and ask [ourselves], how are we going to do this with one another?”

Have you ever been reluctant to start an important conversation because you don’t know where or how to start? Over the years Paula and I (Olejuru) have learned to approach difficult conversations using “I” statements. They allow us to say what we think, feel, understand, or perceive in an honest way, without putting blame on the other person. This approach helps us to leave space for the other person to respond and express themselves too. When the conversational space is not filled with blame, personal defense mechanisms are down, and safe and honest discussions can unfold.

Courageous conversations can be scary, but part of working through them is first allowing ourselves to step into a place of discomfort, and then being open to learn something new.

Video audio: “How can you have these courageous conversations and get in a place of discomfort—because that’s what [having] a courageous conversation will look like. Get outside of your little box and get in a place of discomfort. We often don’t want to do that because we just don’t want to be wrong. We just don’t want to say the wrong thing, and we just don’t want to look like we don’t know what we’re talking about. But I think that’s the issue with everything: that sometimes we have to be that person that is honest and real and say, ‘You know, I don’t know but I am willing to learn’. - Paula Camacho

Welcome to our last series of the year! With the holiday season approaching and time with family and friends increases, we often have to navigate away from numerous conflict causing topics—politics, relationship status, lifestyle choices, and now healthcare, COVID-19 vaccines, and so much more. What if, rather than avoiding particular topics and pretending the undercurrent tensions in the room don't exist, we learned how to have healthy conversations about them? For the rest of 2021, we will be talking about what it looks like to initiate and participate in courageous conversations —conversations that are honouring of each person involved, come from a place of humility, address tensions, and handle discomfort with grace.

This episode's topics include:
- What keeps us from having courageous conversations?
- Validating the person even if we disagree with the perspective
- Creating brave space and using "I" statements

Enjoy!

Let’s Talk About It Podders here is a nugget of wisdom for you. “When we are thinking about blessing; Are we thinking in terms of ‘this is the substance I have to show people for this moment’ or are we thinking about it in terms of ‘this is the lasting impact that I am able to have in the community around me?”
