Recent Episodes of This Lyric, That Truth
Originally published Sep 30, 2024
I’m just reflecting again on some of the recent episodes of the This Lyric, That Truth Podcast and invite you to tune in and check it out. It’s simply an opportunity to have a longer form real conversation on all kinds of ways to grow. Abby Zerrip is a ball of energy and a repeat guest and we talked about a phrase I learned from my daughter that I’m now implementing in my own vernacular “its just not that deep”. Sometimes I overanalyze things and mull them over and over in my mind, or a small thing will go sideways and I can ruminate on it and now I think, Ceci, its just not that deep. Abby also shares a back to school strategy on how we can put energy in the PROBLEM or put the energy into the SOLUTION. I think that is so helpful in dealing with the issues that come up regarding our kiddos and their school year.
Another Abbi, producer Abbi and I chatted about some highlights from all the episodes and different things that stood out to us and what we are learning. I’m so thankful for my chat with Bethany France on grief and how to support a grieving friend. I had an opportunity last week to talk a walk with a friend who lost her daughter in June and I knew how to not make anything about me and to give her space to say as much as she needed to say. Abbi loved ultra marathon runner Dans advice about expecting pain to show up and then kind of greeting it when it arrives, almost saying “there you are, I was expecting you. What are you going to teach me”?
My husband Dave and I just celebrated 24 years of marriage and we talked about giving our spouses grace and recalling the things we fell in love with about them, how not sweat the small stuff, the power of prayer and even whether or not the purpose of marriage is to be happy or not. (Hint: its not:). You’ll also learn who in the relationship is the “cleany” and who is the “messy”.
Our “why” behind this podcast is to keep encouragement going through longer form conversations and we think you’ll learn some stuff and grow along with us! This Lyric, That Truth—wherever you get your podcasts.
