Summary

The shocking thing that keeps women stuck and the truth about toxic relationships with Terra Mattson Hey Hey! It’s a new year and I’m so happy you are here. Today we are talking about familiarity and how easy it is for us to get stuck, self-sabotage, and fall into the familiar. Have you ever wondered why you keep going back to what is familiar? On the show, we discuss why we always go towards what is familiar and how to create habits to change and deepen our emotional maps. Terra Mattson is a licensed marriage and family therapist and licensed professional counselor who has practiced for nearly two decades and oversees a team of 20 clinicians. Terra’s first book, Courageous: Being Daughters Rooted in Grace, reminds us that the transformation of our relationships, communities, and culture begins with God’s work in our own lives. Her second book, Shrinking the Integrity Gap: Between What Leaders Preach and Live calls readers to discover how real leadership is a way of being and how it’s sustained over the long haul. Join Terra and I as we discuss: How it is easy for us to fall into familiarity Creating habits to deepen our emotional maps Why familiarity can keep us stuck Being honest in toxic relationships Favorite quotes: “So whatever we do in life, we tend to be drawn towards what is familiar and what we grew up with intentionally or unintentionally. Part of the challenge is learning what that is, deciding if that is really healthy, and how to slowly start to make some shifts.” “No matter how healthy we are or how aware we are we still can be in a fallen world around toxic people.” “Anything that is unfamiliar is uncomfortable for a time.” “Part of learning and growing in maturity is being able to trust your own discernment.” “We do not change by knowledge alone. The way God made it, we change by new experiences over and over and over.” Coaching this week: 5 Powerful Self-Reflection Questions (29:54) Links to great things we discussed: Terra Mattson Website Terra Mattson Instagram The Living Wholehearted Podcast Shrinking the Integrity Gap Alli on YouTube Little Things Studio Order your copy of Remaining You While Raising Them here.

0:00.0	The healthier we get, the more mature, the more we can notice how things affect us and actually
0:05.8	care for those things in healthier ways.
0:10.0	Hey, hey, I'm Allie, and I believe that an emotionally healthy you is the greatest gift you can
0:15.9	give yourself, your family, and the world. This is your weekly investment in your personal development.
0:22.2	Join discussions with top experts as we focus on how to achieve your dreams, grow your business,
0:27.8	and deepen your faith. As always, we keep it practical with lots of tools and action steps
0:32.7	that you can put into motion today. I'm so glad you're here. Let's dive in. It's a new year and I am so
0:41.9	happy you're here. There are big changes this year. We are now on YouTube. So if you are listening,
0:49.4	you're getting a more edited experience of the show like you always have. But if you're on YouTube, it's going to be
0:55.3	a little rougher around the edges, leaving in more flubs, and it's going to be a bit more loose.
1:01.1	It's a different experience. Editing video, it just looks weird, right? It's going to look
1:05.7	wonky. Same show, just different experience. On YouTube, rough around the edges. But if you're listening
1:11.5	on the audio, it is normal audio. I look forward to getting to hold up my recommendations at the
1:18.0	end of the show. I have big ideas for the show sometime this year. I want to put in more
1:23.0	multimedia effects. I want to bring in more video clips to show you. I'm going to have some
1:28.3	special things at the end that's just for YouTube and not for audio. So I'm super excited. It's
1:34.8	going to be fun. If I'm honest with you, I'm a little nervous about it. I have been doing my
1:40.2	podcast for five and a half years, but this new venture of putting everything in YouTube
1:46.2	feels a little bit vulnerable. So thank you for going on the journey with me. Now, another thing
1:51.5	that I'm mixing up this year is I'm having a series. So we're going to have guests that come in,
1:56.9	but they're going to be part of a series. The first series of guests this year falls into the
2:01.9	New Year, New You theme. And my first guest is a good friend. She is my coaching client. Her name is
