Chance always wants to be there for people, and growing up he realized that meant knowing what they needed: sometimes they need advice and other times they just want a distraction from everyday life. His goal in this podcast is to be there for people and help bring joy into their lives. We all need someone there for us, and Chance just wants to be that person.
Intent vs Impact: Owning Our Growth
In this episode, we explore how good intentions don’t absolve us from the impact we have on others. Even with the best intentions, we can still hurt people, and it's important to take accountability—not for doing something wrong, but for the effect of our actions. We share personal stories, especially about relationships, and how this lesson has shaped our interactions. The conversation then shifts to personal growth, self-awareness, and the need for grace. We open up about struggles with abandonment from losing family early on, and how it influences our relationships. We highlight that self-awareness is more important than being "fully healed" and discuss self-love practices, like mirror rituals. We emphasize that growth is a journey, and it’s okay to struggle as long as we stay mindful and work through our patterns. We wrap up by encouraging listeners to find lessons in every experience and stay patient as they become the person they aspire to be.
