Ridley Speaks Podcast

Seeking validation from others can be harmful to your overall being.  The problem is when you try too hard to fit in or please everyone around you, little by little, you lose a part of yourself in the process.  Do not give anybody the power to starve you by not giving you the validation you are craving for. And I admit, I learned this the hard way.

In this episode, I discuss #race and #racism in this country and how that affects us all. Racism is a thought trait. We are not born with it. How do we overcome as a society? How do we stop pointing fingers? When will we look in the mirror and understand that if we are not part of the solution then ultimately, we are part of the problem?

In this time of isolation from COVID-19, mental health issues are climbing.

 

What are we doing about this? Are we giving encouragement to others that might be suffering from isolation, being alone, and losing jobs?

 

Reaching out to others and encouraging them can go a long way in helping someone going through mental health issues. I discuss this in this episode.

What is your role as a leader? I want to continue the conversation about "positivity" and I want to bring this topic of positivity from a leadership perspective.

 

There is a lot of conversations going on about leadership, especially after this last political cycle. How hard is it to lead in this new environment? Do we, as leaders, lead with positivity? Do we bring and immerse positivity into our work, community, and families? Or, do we give in to pressure to satisfy one side over another?

This episode is more of an "open mic" podcast.

 

How many times do we tell the people we love and care about "no"? What would it look like if we said "yes" instead of "no"? What kind of impact would that have on the other person or, what kind of impact would that have on you?

In this episode, we discuss adversity and how we as humans deal with it. Where does adversity come from? Do we create our own? Do we allow other people to cast adversity in our way? Are we willing to deal with it in a powerful way that creates a positive impact?

In this episode, I discuss "what is your calling" as an individual and how we make excuses on why we have not acted or pursued that "calling". I speak about my own "calling" and how scary it was to really put myself out there. But ultimately, I did ... and now I want to help others do the same.
