The Intentionally Emotive with Shaun Karim

Episode 36 - Is My Family's Toxic Behavior Holding Me Back?

It can be difficult to fully understand and accept when anyone is holding you back from living the life you want to live and to achieve the things you want, especially from family; but what happens once you have figured things out?

The second step is to take action on their limiting beliefs about you.  Confronting them can be difficult, but the discomfort that you and they will go through is worth the healing that you must have to be happy.

In this episode, Shaun shares an email from a listener precisely about this topic and discusses the limiting behavior tied to toxic or narcissistic traits that some family members have, and how this negatively impacts our relationships with them and ourselves.

What do you do when you’re left with a seemingly insurmountable goal?  Listen to find out.

The Intentionally Emotive Podcast with Shaun Karim

Episode 35 - Safety in Family

This episode is a continuation of the series that includes the episodes “Am I a Bad Person?”, “Integrity”, and “Is Blood Thicker than Water?”

The familial environment is important to so many, especially during this time of the year where we plan to spend time with family.  It’s typically a place of comfort and joy.  A place where you can feel safe.

But what happens if you don’t feel safe in that environment?  What were the causes of that?  Did you do something to foster that way of being?  Did others impose their will on you?  Is there anything you can do to change it?

In this episode, Shaun goes into detail about safety and what it means, and more importantly, identifying the people in your life who belong and the ones who don’t belong; how to identify them; how to keep your sanity; and the steps to take to ensure “safety in family” becomes your reality.

The Intentionally Emotive Podcast with Shaun Karim

Episode 34 - Is Blood Thicker than Water?

This episode is a continuation of the series that includes the episodes “Am I a Bad Person?” and “Integrity.”

During this time of the year, a lot of us are surrounded by the tropes of people telling us how important family is–that no matter what, “blood is thicker than water.”

But is it?

In this episode, Shaun goes into detail and invites you to take an approach that very few people are discussing–one that centers around you so that you take care of yourself first and be happy.  Doing that will allow you to see the world around you through a healthy lens and make the decisions about your relationships that you should make.
