We are each hard wired to connect. When we don’t connect it hurts and when it hurts, too often we medicate in a fashion that brings about more pain. Authentically You is a breath of fresh air and in our 3rd year of sharing, we’re just scratching the surface. Instead of focusing on problems, Dr. Richard Himmer and his lovely bride, Cheri, focus on solution-based conversation. Listen to what 37+ years of a happy marriage sounds like. They have no problem with conflict; however, they don’t engage in contention. Conflict is a focus on what is right and is necessary for growth. Contention is a focus on who is right and is the primary source of discord, divorce, bullying, poor management, and dysfunctional relationships. Authentically You is the energy behind discovering happiness, joy, and well-being. When you know who you are, you are free to become your true self. Too many people want happiness without the necessary skills and understanding that support the lifestyle of being happy.

The theory of scaffolding, which is how the MKO (More Knowledgable Other) organizes and presents the learning process. Sometimes support is tapered off and other times it is enhanced.
ZPD is the distance between the actual development of a person and the potential learning capability under the guidance of a more knowledgable other (MKO). It is the difference between “knowing" and "knowing how."
Moses is perplexed. He wants to understand the justice of God. Why do the wicked prosper and the righteous suffer? Moses gets his questions answered. When we know the answer to primary questions, we leave doubt behind, but we never stop asking questions.
Using Hebrew legend, we illustrate primary questions and the existence of God with an ancient story about Moses. We live in troubling times, political chaos, and broken families. Now, more than ever, we need a firm understanding of our faith. Does God exist? How does that firm belief sustain one in times like this?
Have you ever wondered what’s wrong with a loved one and wished you knew how to fix them? Such questions mostly lead to more frustration and stress. Change the question, change the energy!

Florence was/is Cheri's best friend. They were college roommates and I met them at the same time at a university dance. Florence passed away recently after 7 years fighting ovarian cancer. Cheri remembers Florence and her quest for happiness.
Is love a principle, application, or a result (feeling)? Once the principle is understood, one can develop and follow applications that are specifically designed for success. An application is personal and not meant for others.
Living a principle-based life is admirable on the assumption that you know what a principle is. In this episode, we unzip the principle, application, and results of love. Love is universal, or is it?
Terresa Fagan James is our guest. She is Cheri’s health coach. She shares some challenges to weight loss and we collectively discuss how to address the challenges.
Once you’ve practiced and become skilled at naming behavior, recognizing your body brains, and noticing the energy associated with maladaptive behavior, you use the “What if…” process to bypass the critical faculty and create the foundation for change. This is the integration of the upstairs and downstairs brains.
There are three areas of behavior to start your behavior research. Cognitive distortions, the Drama Triangle, and Rules of Engagement. Become the Sherlock Holmes of social interactions. Self-awareness leads to self-regulation.
I grew up being guilt-leveraged (shame based parenting, teaching etc.) and most everything I did seemed like it was a sin according to the adults in my life. What if focusing on the sin is dysfunctional and not productive? For every sin there is a cause. You address the cause you stop the sin. Seems to make more sense.
