Go Ask Sawyer

  • Summary

  • This podcast is a safe space for stories to be told. My intention is to create a place to share, learn, laugh, and cry. Mark Groves once said, 'if you want to find what matters to you, find what breaks your heart and then pursue teaching others how to overcome that.' I kept waiting for the perfect time to start, and in turn, I am still waiting. I have broken my heart over and over again waiting for other people to be ready, when it was me that needed to start. Come along on this adventure into the unknown. I have no idea what I am doing, but I am pretty excited to learn along the way.

    Can you recognize when a friendship has run its course, or are you still holding on to a relationship that's draining your energy? On this episode of Go Ask Sawyer, I share my personal journey of grappling with ending friendships, reflecting on my own shortcomings and struggles to show up for others. From constant arguments to feeling emotionally exhausted and untrue to myself, I discuss the key signs that a friendship may need to end. We also delve into the tough conversations around aligning values and deciding when it's time to distance oneself from negative influences.

    Navigating the end of a friendship is never easy, and as a self-confessed "big ghoster," I open up about my desire to transition towards more direct, albeit awkward, communication. Join me as I uncover the complex dynamics involved in recognizing when a friendship is no longer beneficial. We'll explore the imbalances in effort and emotional investment, and how to address the persistent arguments that signal it's time to move on. This episode aims to provide valuable insights and encourages the courage needed to prioritize your personal well-being, offering a candid and heartfelt discussion for anyone grappling with difficult friendships.

    Can embracing your flaws lead to genuine happiness and stronger character? Tune into this enlightening episode of Go Ask Sawyer, where we explore the profound impact of self-acceptance on personal growth. We delve into the essence of integrity, not as an absence of mistakes, but as the courage to own up to them. This episode emphasizes the critical importance of being honest with oneself, confronting hard truths, and breaking generational cycles. By accepting our darker parts, we can diminish the power others have over us and ultimately strengthen our sense of self and character.

    We also tackle the often uncomfortable realm of difficult conversations in relationships. Sharing personal experiences, we discuss the pitfalls of avoiding these necessary talks and the resulting unresolved conflicts and missed opportunities for growth. The episode highlights the need to address hurt feelings early and the influence of insecurity on our interactions. Evaluating the people in our lives, we underscore that great character doesn't demand perfection, but rather an acknowledgment of our humanity and the inevitability of mistakes. Listen to gain insights into how these principles can impact your relationships and personal development.

    Ever found yourself paralyzed at the starting line of your own ambitions? Join me, Jamie, as we tackle the mental hurdles that keep us from chasing our dreams in today's episode, with insights from Brianna West's illuminating work. I'll open up about my own dance with procrastination and how embracing the philosophy of 'starting before you're ready' can lead to unexpected triumphs. Through my marathon training anecdotes, we'll discover the true value of committing to our goals, despite the fear of failure looming over us like a persistent shadow.

    Rise and shine with a dose of morning motivation that could be the game-changer for your passion projects. I'll reveal how a mere 10 minutes a day can build the momentum you need to achieve what once seemed unreachable. It's not just about showing up; it's about being present and forgiving ourselves for the occasional stumble. So, let's break free from the chains of perfection and instead, celebrate each step forward. And remember, the journey we embark on today could be the story we tell tomorrow.
