Two Again Tuesday

Posted on by Wynne Leon

We’ve been having fun making YouTube clips from our fabulous podcast guests. So, we’re republishing some of our best clips.

The first comes from the witty and wonderful Beth Kennedy of the i didn’t have my glasses on… blog. She tells of an instant perspective giving moment. True to form, she has us laughing while delivering a delightful story that can’t help but inspire.

And if that isn’t enough goodness, we have some vignettes that Vicki shares from her time as a career counselor in the unemployment office. You will be entertained — and delightfully touched by the stories that remind us “we are all just walking each other home.” – Ram Dass

  2. Great lessons from each of these podcasts. Beth’s suggestion to keep one’s issues in prospective was a good message to be reminded of again. And it was interesting to hear Vicki’s comparisons of the mindset and skills of people seeking employment. Wynne, your remark that “any change is a loss of identity” was poignant. Thank you! 🙂

  3. thanks for the rerun! and loved your observations, Vicky, with regard to the changes and challenges we go through when life doesn’t go as expected and we kind of need to recalibrate everything, not always an easy process

  4. I remember Beth’s podcast from before, but I liked it so much that I had to watch it again. A great lesson about how the smallest of gestures such as a kind word can make all the difference.

    I had also watched part of Vicki’s podcast before, but this time I watched the entire thing. Very interesting stories. I’m sure there are plenty of people who try to take advantage of the system, but many others are doing their best to find work. I only was on unemployment for a short time once in my life, but it’s easy to think of yourself as less than if the employees treat you poorly. As a people person, I’ll bet Vicki was great at her job.

  6. I haven’t seen these before, so it was great to ‘see’ Beth and listen to her wise message. Sometimes, it’s easy to slip into a ‘poor me’ mindset. I’m guilty! 🙂 But then when we look at the bigger picture, it definitely puts things in perspective. Though, this doesn’t mean that whatever we’re going through should be downplayed either. So Beth, I empathize with you because a car door once slammed on my fingers! 😩

    Listening to your conversation about job loss also resonates. My husband was laid off years ago due to new management, no fault of his own. He received the pink slip early in December, completely unexpected. That was a tough Christmas because, to put it mildly, it was devastating. He survived it and moved on but not without experiencing those feelings that you mentioned, even though it had nothing to do with him personally. To him, that was irrelevant. The bottom line was…he lost his job, and losing a job is a form of loss, so grieving was involved. I’m so thankful that event is in the past. On a happier note, I wish you both a wonderful weekend, and thanks for sharing these episodes! ❤️

    1. Oh, such great comments about both videos. It is so interesting to hear other people’s stories and how they resonate — it’s important we keep talking. And listening. So thanks for tuning in, Lauren!!
