Exploring How to Deal with Words Left Unsaid

Hi, Manager and Supervisors
How’s it going?
In this podcast episode, we will explore dealing with unsaid words.

I am sure we all had a life situation where we wished we told someone how we truly felt. Whether it was a childhood crush or wished we spoke up at a group meeting or knew something was happening that wasn’t right.

Fear can immobilize us not to act. Then Guilt or regret lingers on and on inside of us. It may continue throughout our lifetime. Guilt or shame can leave us feeling empty, unsatisfied, or longing for something we didn’t have the guts to pursue. You probably heard the old saying, “Time heals all wounds.”  Does it? 

Some wounds will never heal until addressed, which is easier said than done.

How many of us have been ghosted sometime in our life? 

It may have been a relationship, a job offer, a promotion, a networking acquaintance, a promise, or a business deal.

Did you want to know the reason why? 

I know when it happened to me, I wanted to know why.

Unfortunately, most of the time, especially in the business setting, a reason why will never come.

Overthinking about the situation can take a toll on a person. It may cause depression, anger, suicidal thoughts, sadness, ulcers, overwhelm, uncontrollable crying, anxiety attacks, and so much more.

Time may soften the disappointment, regret, and hurt, but it’s still deep inside. Time is not the healer; it is the inner work of dealing with the emotions that heals you. Healing requires constant mental work of positive self-talk and letting it go.

How do you get over it and move on?

🦋 Recite positive affirmations for healing and to eliminate negative thoughts.

🦋 Create a gratitude journal. Every day in the journal, write one to three things you are grateful for daily.

🦋 Be aware of your emotions and feelings; take time to feel them — work on halting the complaining, constantly talking about it, and overthinking the situation.

🦋 Spend time with positive, happy, and motivated people.

🦋 Pick your battles. Sometimes, chasing the person may cause more damage to you. If the recipient doesn’t want to hear from you, they won’t respond. Start focusing on what you want in life; you are worth more.

🦋 Hire a life or leadership coach or therapist to help you overcome the hurt and disappointment.

Isn’t it time to be happy?

Being upset, angry, and overthinking isn’t working. Love yourself and those around you enough to let it go. Believing you deserve a better life of peace, joy, and love is a huge part of healing.

Today’s podcast Affirmation

I let go and move on!

Question: How did you move on from words left unsaid?

I would love your thoughts on this topic, and if there is a topic you would like me to explore, please leave a comment. 

If you are struggling with the daily grind and feel alone, a leadership and work-life balance coach like me will help you work through those everyday challenges to continue moving forward to where you want to be.

Episode 80 Does Money Alchemy Build Better Relationships with Special Guest Eloise Burton

In this podcast episode, we had a Special Guest, Eloise Burton, a Money Alchemist and Author.

Click to listen to Episode 80 Does Money Alchemy Build Better Relationships with Special Guest Eloise Burton.

After years of suffering from a “money mess,” Eloise Burton discovered Money Alchemy. Growing up in one of the most deprived areas in the UK was not an easy place to start a healthy and respectful relationship with money. Over the years, she accumulated over £100,000 in personal debt and had her home repossessed. Battling with her mindset around money led her to close a successful business, but this was also the start of her awareness of a different way to work with money. She has fine-tuned techniques over the years and now shares with her clients how to create money easily and without the yucky feelings she used to have: fear, guilt, shame, and distrust. Now, she helps women with businesses open to the possibility of sprinkling magic mixed with a spoonful of logic to let go of their love/hate relationship with money, empowering them to welcome more into their lives. 

Eloise Burton shares:

*She shares her money journey and why she became passionate about Money Alchemy.

*She talks about her book, The Magic of Money Alchemy.

*What is money alchemy?

*She explains how money takes on the energy you give it.

*What is money shaming?

*How does having a good relationship with money build better relationships in our lives, whether at home or work?

Thank you so much for listening; please share the podcast with others, follow us on Spotify, and check out Eloise’s products and services. We will have Eloise’s contact information in the show notes.

Exploring Holiday Time for a Manager and Supervisor at Work

Click to listen to podcast Episode 27 Exploring Holiday Time for a Manager and Supervisor at work.

Hi, Managers and Supervisors

How’s it going?

Holiday Time is coming. Are you prepared as a Manager and Supervisor?

For a manager and supervisor, this can be a stressful time keeping the business running at maximum speed or at all. 

Holidays have a lot of personal stress and often affect the work environment. What do I mean? It can be distracting and can lower productivity in the workplace. Some people become less productive at work during the holiday season and lose motivation. Productivity may be lower because managers and staff are on leave from the office, and workflow slows down.

While the holidays for some are to unwind and unplug while away from the office for others, the work still goes on and can be stressful trying to juggle home life and work life.

All your staff may want the same time off, and you may have to refuse leave requests. The people denied leave may be angry and upset and don’t want to be there, and morale goes down and some even call in sick, which makes the workplace unbearable for those still there.

How do you handle these situations as a Manager and Supervisor?

Do you have a plan of action to ease the circumstance, or are you flying by the seat of your pants, or do you even care?

What are some ways to prepare and ease the anxiety for you and your staff?

  1. Do you rotate Holiday leave time with the staff? If someone takes off one Holiday, they work the other Holidays. Then, they take another Holiday the following year but not the one they got the previous year. 
  2. Or does the team sit down and determine together what Holidays they get off?
  3. What about you? Do you take time off during the holidays? Do you plan to take time off and not just physically be there but mentally and emotionally as well? 

Preparing well in advance with your staff who is taking time off and what holidays you are taking off – gives everyone a sense of commitment and understanding, and everyone can prepare with their family and friends. 

In the month of October, I would start to develop the Holiday Vacation Leave plan with my staff. I remember how stressful ensuring we had enough staff coverage during the holiday weeks was. Until I came up with Holiday Leave Action plans early in the year so everyone knew who was working and who was not during the October – December season. 

During the Holiday season, avoid bringing work home so you can enjoy your time away from work and include yourself in the holiday rotation plan. Many managers and supervisors don’t take any leave time during the Holidays, which is unfair to you and your family. 

Time to reflect: What is your Holiday Leave Time plan for you and your employees?

Today’s podcast Affirmation

I am prepared for the Holidays at work!

Question: Do you feel that work and personal life compete with your attention?

I would love your thoughts on this topic, and if there is a topic you would like me to explore, please leave a comment. 

If you are struggling with the daily grind and feel alone, a leadership and work-life balance coach like me will help you work through those everyday challenges to continue moving forward to where you want to be.

In this month’s podcast episode, Building Better Relationships at Home and Work with Angela and Patti, podcast co-host Angela Ambrosia shares how miracles have happened in her life and relationships and how she has studied the science of miracles through working on the power of our thoughts and how we talk to the powers that support us and which some people call god, the divine, grace and others may call the universe.

Click to listen to Episode 79 How YOU can get Miracles in your relationships.

For Angela, this is actually the power of our words. How can we control the words we use and send out into the world to transform our way of relating to physical matter, the people around us, and our own consciousness to manifest and allow miracles into our lives?

More recently, Angela has had a miracle of Soma in her life, which is blessed sacred water manifesting in her home altar and also manifesting in special events happening globally. One is happening in her hometown, Sydney, Australia, on Dec 1, 2023, Perth, Australia, Dec 3, 2023, and Melbourne, Australia, Dec 8, 2023.

Angela recovered from an aggressive cancer in 2019 and was struck with a rare autoimmune disease, and she was unable to walk again in 2022; however, now she is fully recovered and teaching again.

How does she explain the miracles that have saved her life and given her renewed life and the ability to live in causeless ease and joy with herself and her relationships?

Angela shares the following:

*Her insight into the possibility of miracles for all of us.

*What is grace to Angela?

*How do we recognize grace in our lives?

*How can people listening can get miracles at home and work?

*What is Soma?

*How is it possible that Soma is manifesting in people’s homes globally now?

*What is a phenomenon? 

*How does believing in Miracles Build Better Relationships?

Exploring Active Listening as a Manager and Supervisor from Chaos to Calm

In this podcast episode, we explore active listening as a manager and supervisor.

Click to listen to Episode 26 – Exploring Active Listening as a Manager and Supervisor from Chaos to Calm.

Hi, Managers and Supervisors

How’s it going?

As a manager and supervisor, sometimes in our work-life moments, we want to be left alone and don’t want to listen to others at work, yet the other person needs to be heard and understood. We may be tired, exhausted, have deadlines, and want to avoid dealing with one more interruption or problem.

Let’s explore active listening techniques as a way of helping to improve leadership skills. As a manager or supervisor, active listening helps build a healthy working relationship with your boss, co-workers, employees, clients, and customers. Becoming deeply aware of and working on the skill of listening may enhance communication with others in the workplace and your personal life. 

Active listening encourages and allows others to speak and convey their wants, objectives, and concerns. Listening and building positive work relationships with employees and others demonstrates engagement and is the core of solid leadership skills.

Active Listening Techniques to Explore:

*Be silent when others are speaking

*Keep an open mind

*Be aware of your body language

*Watch the other person’s body language

*Listen for keywords to understand

*Ask short, direct questions to understand

*Paraphrase what was said and ask if you understood correctly

The intention is to build trust and understanding by listening deeply so your employees open up and discuss their wants, needs, suggestions, and challenges so they can resolve them in the workplace.

What else could you do at work to listen more intently?

How do you feel when people listen to understand?

How does it help the work environment when everyone feels heard?

Practice stopping thinking about what you will say next and be in the moment of listening. You miss connecting with others and learning new things when you are too busy interrupting and expressing your opinion. Active listening is a great way to work on improving relationships. Making these small changes may enhance your relationship with others. Give it a try, and let me know how it went. 

Today’s podcast Affirmation

I am an active listener!

I would love your thoughts on this topic, and if there is a topic you would like me to explore, please leave a comment. 

If you are struggling with the daily grind and feel alone, a leadership and work-life balance coach like me will help you work through those everyday challenges to continue moving forward to where you want to be.
