S3: Episode 3: Scaffolding: The Importance of Consistency
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Consistency in personal growth practices can be a powerful tool for healing, transforming relationships, and rebuilding our lives. By committing to daily habits and creating a 'scaffolding' for personal development, we lay the foundation for lasting change and a more fulfilling life. This process, while challenging, can lead to deep personal transformation and a renewed sense of purpose.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this episode, Heather Ranjo shares her journey of building consistency in her growth practices. She discusses the valuable lessons learned about the importance of daily meditation, journaling, therapy, and physical activity. Heather explains how this commitment to consistency allowed her to heal past traumas, improve her relationships, and become a better parent. She openly shares her struggles with maintaining consistency and its transformative impact on her life when she perseveres. She emphasizes the importance of starting small, giving yourself grace, and remembering that you're doing this work for your future self.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tune in to learn how building consistency in personal growth practices might transform your life and relationships!</span></p> <h2><strong>Timestamps:</strong></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[01:39] Recognizing the need to stop using trauma as an excuse for their actions</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[04:04] Heather's struggle with being fully honest in therapy</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[08:53] Strong emotions and blending families in a new relationship</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[13:51] Importance of scaffolding and consistency</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[15:59] Tips for implementing consistency and starting small</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[18:12] Elements of scaffolding </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[25:48] Importance of consistency and self-improvement</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[28:36] Importance of healing for the sake of children</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[30:55] Importance of perseverance in maintaining healthy habits and self-improvement</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[35:04] Tips for implementing systems and staying consistent</span></p> <h2><strong>Quotes:</strong></h2> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">My job is to end the trauma. My job is to break the generational curses that had no control, that I had no control over.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">I still have a hard time doing all the things and showing up. But what I can also tell you is that had I not started being consistent in building the scaffolding, I wouldn't have had the frame of mind or the right attitude to be proud of, to be present, and to check myself when I need to do better.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">You made a contract with yourself. You made a promise to yourself to show up even when it's hard. You made a promise to future you. That future you is gonna thank you for because you're sick and tired of living the life you're living.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Once your body knows that it has the green light to rest, you're exhausted. So, it's hard to keep pushing during those times.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">I got tired of using my trauma and weaponizing it with the people around me, it was not their problem. It was mine. I don't know how else to say it other than that way, but I was weaponizing my grief. I was weaponizing my trauma and using it as a crutch and an excuse not to change my bad behavior.</span></li> </ul> <h2><strong>Resources:</strong></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Connect with Heather Ranjo on Instagram: </span><a href= "https://www.instagram.com/frombrokentobravepodcast/" target= "_blank" rel="noopener"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">https://www.instagram.com/frombrokentobravepodcast/</span></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Follow the on</span><span style= "font-weight: 400;"><br /></span><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Apple: </span><a href= "https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/from-broken-to-brave-podcast/id1614102331" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/from-broken-to-brave-podcast/id1614102331</span></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Spotify: </span><a href= "https://open.spotify.com/episode/1ArU1nIGSD1YSPfL5yJH1g?si=qmKvF6CWShSg3JSr3Du0zw&nd=1&dlsi=7a1b893ef7254721" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">https://open.spotify.com/episode/1ArU1nIGSD1YSPfL5yJH1g?si=qmKvF6CWShSg3JSr3Du0zw&nd=1&dlsi=7a1b893ef7254721</span></a></p>

S3: Episode 2: The Importance of an Isolation Period: Lessons from Taking a Social Media Break
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Isolation periods can be a powerful tool for personal growth, healing, and reassessing priorities in our hyperconnected world. By stepping away from the constant noise of social media and reducing access to our lives, we create space for deep introspection and authentic relationships. This process, while challenging, can lead to deep personal transformation and a renewed sense of purpose.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this episode, Heather Ranjo shares her experience of taking an extended break from social media and isolating herself to focus on personal growth. She discusses the valuable lessons learned about boundaries, authenticity, and being present in relationships and experiences. Heather explains how this period allowed her to heal, grow, and build a more fulfilling life. She also challenges listeners to consider their social media habits and the potential benefits of a digital detox. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tune in to gain insights into how an isolation period might transform your life and relationships!</span></p> <h2><strong>Timestamps:</strong></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[00:45] Importance of isolation in one's life</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[01:46] Heather's reasons for taking a social media break</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[04:08] Heather's decision to reduce social media presence and engagement</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[07:13] Lessons learned about relationships and reciprocation</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[09:10] Insights gained during the social media hiatus</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[13:14] New experiences and hobbies discovered</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[15:25] Importance of therapy and personal growth</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[17:28] Learning to be consistent and give oneself grace</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[18:25] Heathers challenge to listeners </span></p> <h2><strong>Quotes:</strong></h2> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Sometimes, it requires your isolation to come back and relate to people from a healthier place. If people take your isolation personally, then they're the problem.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">I am no longer going to pour from an empty cup. I am no longer going to make an effort in relationships that do not put an effort back to me.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Can we stop acting like social media is not a drug? Can we stop doing that in 2024?</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Give yourself grace and love yourself when you miss the mark and do better tomorrow. That's it. That's all anybody could ever ask of you.</span></li> </ul> <h2><strong>Resources:</strong></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Connect with Heather Ranjo on Instagram: </span><a href= "https://www.instagram.com/frombrokentobravepodcast/" target= "_blank" rel="noopener"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">https://www.instagram.com/frombrokentobravepodcast/</span></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Follow the podcast on</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br /></span><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Apple: </span><a href= "https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/from-broken-to-brave-podcast/id1614102331" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/from-broken-to-brave-podcast/id1614102331</span></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Spotify: </span><a href= "https://open.spotify.com/episode/1ArU1nIGSD1YSPfL5yJH1g?si=qmKvF6CWShSg3JSr3Du0zw&nd=1&dlsi=7a1b893ef7254721" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">https://open.spotify.com/episode/1ArU1nIGSD1YSPfL5yJH1g?si=qmKvF6CWShSg3JSr3Du0zw&nd=1&dlsi=7a1b893ef7254721</span></a></p>

And I am so grateful, so thankful, and so blessed for it.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Be afraid and do it anyway. Be brave even when you're terrified. Be authentic even when it feels lonely. Be honest, even when it hurts.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Do the work even when you're exhausted. When you wanna quit, find that strength you save and battle your demons.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">You're your own worst enemy. Keep fighting, keep pushing. Life is better than you could ever think possible.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Hey, God, it's me again. I'm not mad anymore. Thank you for this beautiful life.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">I know that I would not have gotten through this past year without losing certain people.

The ones who can give you tough love from a good place. But I also want you to recognize that not everybody is going to like the version of you that's growing and healing and transforming into the person you've always been meant to be.</span></li> </ul> <h2><strong>Resources:</strong></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Connect with Heather Ranjo on Instagram: </span><a href= "https://www.instagram.com/frombrokentobravepodcast/" target= "_blank" rel="noopener"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">https://www.instagram.com/frombrokentobravepodcast/</span></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Follow the podcast on</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br /></span><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Apple: </span><a href= "https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/from-broken-to-brave-podcast/id1614102331" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/from-broken-to-brave-podcast/id1614102331</span></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Spotify: </span><a href= "https://open.spotify.com/episode/1ArU1nIGSD1YSPfL5yJH1g?si=qmKvF6CWShSg3JSr3Du0zw&nd=1&dlsi=7a1b893ef7254721" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">https://open.spotify.com/episode/1ArU1nIGSD1YSPfL5yJH1g?si=qmKvF6CWShSg3JSr3Du0zw&nd=1&dlsi=7a1b893ef7254721</span></a></p> <p> </p>
