013 - Step Outside of the Drama

Too often difficult conversations never end, because we avoid, strategize and are often trying to protect our stance. In some ways, it feels like the same conversation over and over. Even when that pattern is recognized, it’s difficult to interrupt the pattern and even more difficult to see what part we play in this frustrating communication. As you listen you’ll hear about: What you require of other people when you’re in the role of Victim, Rescuer or Persecutor. Once you see what you’re unconsciously requiring of others, you’ll know why the same patterns emerge when in difficult conversations. Awareness, acknowledgement and accountability are game changers. These 3 A’s give you options, which include stepping outside the drama.

Om Podcasten

Inviting all women, in particular my Black sisters, to take up space and just be. An invitation to talk about what we think about, but rarely speak about. Conversations about spirituality, relationships, the “ism’s,” sex, mental wellbeing, secrets and feelings that we stuffed. We will celebrate! You will laugh, cry, be pissed, disagree, and begin to count yourself in where you’ve been counted out. Lisa Lackey, therapist, consultant and chief conversation starter and her guests will challenge you to keep the conversation going. Think of Insideout Conversations as brunch with your main girls right in the middle of the week.
