  • In this episode, Joel and Casey Johnson talk about how to discern and navigate manipulative leadership.

    A master manipulator can be so magnetic the people unknowingly submit their sense of security to that person, relinquishing there God-given responsibility to govern their own lives, to a spiritous figure who says to them, "trust me, do what I say and everything will be fine."

    But Sadly...

    Controlling, bully-type personalities are often secretly afraid, according to enneagram experts, Russ Hudson and Don Risso. They go on to explain that many maipulators and abusers encountered sever abuse as a child and subconsciously believe people are out to get them. They make themselves big, attempt to sound tough, intimidating others and rarely, if ever allow themselves to be vulnerable. They see no dissonance posing as the righteous hero, all the while lying, cheating and deceiving to protect themselves and their empire.

    In this episode, Joel + Casey talk about:
    - The 5 Characteristics of a Manipulative Leader
    - The 9 Signs of when to leave an Organization (and)
    - Joel and Casey's Real-life experiences with Manipulative Leaders

    "A true leader seeks to serve people, not control them." - Joel Johnson

  • Identifying your own personality and the personalities of others is the road to greater compassion for all. It allows you to extend infinitely more grace and understanding to others and, more importantly, yourself. Personality tools like Myers-Briggs and the Enneagram are incredibly helpful in the journey of self-awareness and other centeredness. Understanding personalities shows us that "we can’t change the way other people see, but we can try to experience the world through their eyes and help them change what they do with what they see" says Ian Morgan Cron.

    Thich Nhat Hanh explains this well. He says, “When our hearts are small, our understanding and compassion are limited, and we suffer. We can’t accept or tolerate others and their shortcomings, and we demand that they change,” he says. “But when our hearts expand, these same things don’t make us suffer anymore. We have a lot of understanding and compassion and can embrace others. We accept others as they are, and then they have a chance to transform.”

    If you want to see a real change in the people you work with, your family or your spouse, the first step starts with understanding them and yourself better.

    Think on what Thomas Merton said:

    “The beginning of love is the will to let those we love be perfectly themselves, the resolution not to twist them to fit our own image. If in loving them we do not love what they are, but only their potential likeness to ourselves, then we do not love them: we only love the reflection of ourselves we find in them.”

    In this episode, Joel + Casey talk about:
    1.)How to Identify your co-worker's, family's and spouse's personality type
    2.)Understanding Enneagram Personality Types
    3.)How to live with more grace and compassion for others and yourself

  • "Vows begin when hope dies." said Leonardo da Vinci. Inner vows set the trajectory of your life. Some are good vows and have positive results, but, conversely, negative vows yield negative results.

    Negative vows will keep you from experiencing all the joy God has for you in this life. If you have found yourself going through the same kind of scenarios over and over again... it may be time to "do your work" and investigate if you've might have unknowingly made a negative vow along the way.

  • In this episode, Dr. Joel and Casey talk about how to heal, set healthy boundaries and reengage!

    When you heal, set healthy boundaries and reengage, you emerge more authentic, more real and more powerful. Reengagement casts off all of the power that a person, organization or wound has over you! Reengaging is refusing to remain a character in your own story. Reengaging is the choice to become the author of your own story and write your own daring ending.

    How will your story to end? That’s entirely up to you.

    Will you reengage?

  • In this episode, Casey and Joel share the lessons they are learning in the wilderness. How to navigate the shame-storm that gathers for every wilderness sojourner. Answering these howling questions: Why didn't I fight for myself sooner? What's wrong with me? How did I allow myself to get into that situation in the first place?

    The desire to "belong" is primal. We intrinsically desire to belong to something greater than ourselves and to find "true belonging." We all look for our group, our people, our tribe.

    Because the desire to belong is so primal, it's easy to give up one's authenticity, freedom and power - and not even recognize it - to fit in with the group.

    But . . . true belonging only happens, as Casey says in this episode, "When we present out true authentic selves to the world." Finding your squad is important, but it should never come at the expense of your authenticity, freedom and power.

    As Brene Brown says, "True belonging is not about fitting in, pretending, or making the people around us comfortable because that's safer."

  • In this episode, Casey share's her story of finding the courage to belong to herself first - to stand alone - and brave the wilderness.

    "True belonging is not about fitting in, pretending, or making the people around us comfortable because that's safer," says Brene Brown.

    One day, Casey chose to deny what felt comfortable and chose courage instead. Her life instantly changed as she discovered true belonging doesn't require you to change who you are. No, it requires you to be who you are! This is her story of when she chose to belong fully to herself - the day she started braving the wilderness.
