Episode #31 - Accepting People As They Are

People have many opinions and tend to have strong emotional attachments to those opinions due to their life experiences. Navigating through different perspectives of those around us can seem like you’re making your way through a minefield and feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be that way!

In this episode of The Bravehearted Podcast, we are breaking down accepting people as they are without violating ourselves in the process. We discuss how important it is to understand that acceptance does not mean that you're accepting defeat. It also does not mean you’re allowing something that contradicts your beliefs into your life. But rather, acceptance is seeking to understand and exercise empathy in the midst of a disagreement.

We also talk about how a lack of acceptance comes from not being accepting of yourself and how to peel back the layers of personal resentment and begin practicing self-acceptance.
 
After listening to this episode you will understand how to accept people as they are, be able to communicate effectively with the intention to build understanding and make more room for empathy in your life. 

It’s our goal to empower you to live bravely and give you actionable tools to do that in a practical way. If you find that you are in need of continuing this conversation or further support, feel free to message us on Instagram!
