   What is My Part?

   Show Notes When our kids are little, we carry everything. Their jackets, their snacks, their backpacks. We even let them wipe wet hands on our pants. But as they grow, our part gets smaller, and that's exactly how it should be. In this episode, Brooke explores one simple question that can take the drama out of so many relationships: "What is my part?" Often we fall into one of two camps. We blame the other person for everything, or we take it all on ourselves. Neither is true. We always have some part, and so do they. Brooke shares a framed photograph she bought for her daughter-in-law's birthday and what happened when she invited her to be honest. She also shares a client's story about baby quilts, a spouse who goes quiet during hard times, and a grown child who asked Mom to stay in an Airbnb. In this episode: What is your part: your thoughts and the story you tell, your feelings and whether you're regulated, your tone and timing, unspoken expectations, and what you allow What is not your part: their feelings, choices, tastes, healing, timeline, and how they receive you Why staying regulated matters when someone you love shuts down How to walk the road with a child going through something hard without taking it over Why the answer may look different each time, and the value of seeking revelation Questions to ask yourself: What story am I telling myself about this person? What do I expect that I've never said out loud? What could I simply ask instead of assume? What is mine to carry here? Who do I want to be in this relationship? Ready to go deeper?

   Drop by Drop, Day by Day

   What if you only need to gather enough for today? After attending the Restore Conference with my friend Kristen Rutter, I've been thinking about manna. In Exodus 16, the Lord provided bread from heaven for the Israelites, one day at a time. In this episode, I share what the rules of manna can teach us about inspiration, rest, and moving forward without knowing the outcome. I also share client stories of small daily choices that changed relationships, drop by drop. Reflection questions Where might manna be showing up in your life right now? Is there an impression you've been sitting on that might be starting to spoil? What's one small thing you could do today?

   How to be Less Fearful

   What if fear only exists in the future? When the thing we're afraid of actually shows up, it stops being a fear and becomes a problem to be solved. And you've solved every problem that has come your way so far. In this episode, Brooke shares why our primitive brain keeps offering us "what ifs," and how our adult brain can step in, calm things down, and remind us that we'll figure it out. She walks through the story of Enoch in Moses 6 and 7, a young man who felt slow of speech and unliked, and who grew into someone whose words moved mountains. She also shares a client who started with a small tiling project and worked her way up to remodeling her whole living room, becoming a different person along the way. In this episode: Why fear resides in the future and problems live in the present The Bible Dictionary line that says God has been teaching us not to fear ever since the Fall Enoch's calling and how his capacity grew as he stepped forward in faith A client's home improvement journey and why real questions come once you begin Learning to ride a bike as a picture of how capacity grows through practice Theodore Roosevelt's "Man in the Arena" quote, shared by Brené Brown in Daring Greatly Brooke's own experience launching a program that nobody signed up for, and choosing to keep going Trusting God with our fears for our children and loved ones A question to consider this week: What's one small thing you could try to move forward, even though it feels scary? Join Brooke's Nervous System Regulation Class Wednesday, October 7, from 12:00 to 2:00 PM Mountain Time, online.
