Cultivating Hope in a Complex World with Kathryn Goetzke
In this episode, I have the privilege of having a profound conversation with Kathryn Goetzke, the Chief Hope Officer of the Shine Hope Company. We explore the delicate balance between despair and hope, discussing how individuals can navigate these emotions in a world filled with challenges. Kathryn shares her personal journey through mental health struggles and her mission to teach hope as a skill. Our conversation delves into the importance of understanding hopelessness, the impact of emotional despair, and the necessity of teaching hope to the next generation, especially in today's divisive climate. In this conversation, Kathryn discusses the importance of peer learning among youth, identifying what is in your locus of control and focusing on those things, the cultivation of happiness habits, and the role of social media in shaping emotional well-being. She emphasizes the need for awareness and personal agency in addressing global issues, advocating for local actions that can lead to meaningful change. We also discuss the significance of hope as a teachable skill, as any age.
We spoke about the VIA Character Strengths Assessment in this episode because knowing your strengths and utilizing them are so essential to moving away from despair and towards hope by taking action. I encourage you to take this free,15 minute assessment to build awareness around your strengths and what makes you uniquely YOU.
If you are struggling with cultivating hope these days, this is a must listen episode!
