The Power of Creating the Lives We Want

The SonRise Project creator Kelli Richardson Lawson introduces master coach and CEO of Aiming High, Inc. Sylvia High. She’s also author of The Little Book of Big Questions: A Journey in Self-Discovery. In this episode, Sylvia talks about the pull to renew, restart and re-imagine our lives, especially in the wake of the pandemic. She asks SonRise listeners to consider what may be limiting or restricting them? When it comes to relationships with our children, she says it’s easy to feel constricted, confined and oppressed by their challenges such as anxiety, depression or addiction issues. She explains that we don’t have to let the struggle stop us and shares why it can become a catalyst. She says our biggest breakthroughs don’t come from the brilliant, amazing things we accomplish, but from our breakdowns. Sylvia explains breakdowns are where we truly discover ourselves: the character, strength and wisdom we didn’t know we have. She says once we realize our true selves, we are on the path to creating a rich, fulfilling life.
