We all have parts of ourselves that we like, parts that we don\u2019t, parts that we showcase, and parts that we try to hide away. It\u2019s really difficult to be honest about all sides of who we are\u2014the good, the bad, the messy and the downright ugly. But recognizing and confronting all of our parts is really important if ever we are to move through this world with a healthy sense of clarity and intentionality. Today\u2019s episode is about all kinds of bad words our society likes for us to keep on the DL\u2014words like limitations, weaknesses, submission, boundaries and, you guessed it, self-awareness. These words ain\u2019t pretty \u2026 they ain\u2019t sexy \u2026 and they sure as ain\u2019t great conversation starters. But they are important words. They are words we shouldn\u2019t be afraid to embrace nor speak about. And they are words Cindy &amp;amp; Renae spend an entire episode confronting. \u201cThere are quick choices in life to either act out of our strengths in really beautiful and positive ways, or to lash out through our weakness. I think the centerpiece that holds the power for all of our choices is intense self-awareness.\u201d \u2014Cindy Keating ","author_name":"Confronting Normal","author_url":"https:\/\/confrontingnormal.com\/feed\/podcast\/","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/13346714\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/item\/13346714"}
