I Have Things to Say

I Have Things to Say

By Teri Hebert

I don't have all the answers. But I do have things to say. Witty, insightful, wise, thoughtful, unique, probably awkward but potentially brilliant things said by a 40-something career introvert.
No politics. No controversy. Just things.

Make Good Choices

Make Good Choices

This episode is inspired by watching “Botched Up Bodies” and “Surviving R. Kelly” and what weighs heavy on my heart as a result.

We too often make bad choices.

I’m talking about just doing really dumb—or blatantly wrong—with a justification or rationalization that we feel makes it right....despite the horrible or hurtful outcomes.

I’m also talking abut looking the other way when we shouldn’t. Or not speaking up when it’s the right thing to do. Or going with what’s popular when we know it’s wrong. Or focusing on an imperfection that isn’t where our focus should be—then making a series of bad decisions to fix something that doesn’t need to be fixed.

We risk so much when we make bad choices. Find out why I think shows like “Botched Up Bodies” and “Surviving R. Kelly” are situations born from our tendency to make bad choices.

Speak Up!

Speak Up!

Today’s episode is inspired again in part by ShineText.com and of course, my own thoughts and feelings.

Are you ever afraid to say what you think and feel? Today we talk about how you deserve to be heard. But so often, we let our fear of how others will interpret what we say keep us from saying anything at all.

Speak up! You are worthy. But first, listening to me talk about talking.

Feel Your Feels

Feel Your Feels

Today we talk about our feelings. No really. Do you feel your feelings? Do you feel bad about how you feel? Do you struggle feeling like it’s okay to ask for help when you’re struggling?

I’m a life-long guilt-sufferer. I even feel bad about how I feel sometimes. Let’s talk about what that means and how we can feel our feels instead of faking “better” feelings or staying stuck when we’re low.

Shout out again to Daily Shine and Sheila Walsh’s words for helping me gather my thoughts on this one!

Busting Buzzwords—Being Present

Busting Buzzwords—Being Present

Today we have another installment of our “Busting Buzzwords” series. We tackle the phrase “Being Present”. What does it mean? What SHOULD it mean? How do we misuse it in our lives? How can we make it work as intended? I might not have the answers. But I do have things to say about it.
