The Best of Refractive: Surrender to Greatness

For the Best of Refractive, turn the dial back to February 2020 for an all-time favorite episode- powerful, raw, uplifting. Enjoy "Surrender to Greatness." Magnificence is our birthright. The illusion of struggle, expectations, status, and what's "fair" causes us to actually fight against our own greatness as we desperately seek to control our existence. We can begin to see life as a series of threats and hardships. The truth is: something IS hurting us, and it's US. The self is the only opponent powerful enough to drag us down. And when we put down the weapon and realize that we were fighting shadows, our true power begins to manifest and doors swing open. In this episode of Refractive Johnny G looks into the saga of our battles through examples of interpersonal relationships, the epidemic of shame, and growth lessons from the allegory of Adam and Eve's fall from grace. Are you ready to surrender? Because despite our best efforts, while we can temporarily blind ourselves to it, our magnificence will win in the end.

It involves an overwhelming worry that people close to you will cease to be available (physically or emotionally). Whether through walling yourself off, sabotaging relationships, or developing unhealty forms of attachment, it can seem nearly impossible for someone with a fear of abandonment to develop healthy relationships. Author and life design coach Connie Monroe joins host Johnny G as they discuss their experiences with this paralyzing fear, how it contributed chaos in each of their lives, and how they found relief and healing.
