BLBW Ep #15: John Steven Cisneros: Breaking Free From a Segmented Life, Redemption, Quilted Spirituality, and The Ultimate Kindness

In this episode, I have a conversation with one of my former bosses— from 17 years ago.  John Cisneros was the Catholic principal at St. Austin Catholic School where I was a  non-catholic teacher and technology coordinator. Neither of us is the same person we were back then.

Listen in to the story of leaving – or getting tossed out of – an empty and completely segmented life – and the journey through redemption to the ultimate kindness.  

John’s story reminds us that authentic living can’t be done while we shut a part of ourselves off due to pride or shame and that even with great loss and mistake, redemption and a new life await, and that kindness is the ultimate religion. 

 

John Steven Cisneros, Ph.D.  specializes in assisting doctoral students through their dissertation journey.He engages them on their journey as needed.He is also prepared to provide services from proposal preparation to successful dissertation final defense.

  • What an epic evening at the @sistersupperclub Gala hosted by the fabulous @tiffanyjanescott - it was an indulgent and special evening. These, of course are the goofy shots of my amazing sister friends. I was particularly impacted by the model Tiffany lives in creating community, sisterhood, and togetherness. Sister Supper Circles are popping up all over the world and a very special community of diverse and brilliant women are gathering. You can be a part of it too! Follow the links on the @sistersupperclub profile! . So much love. And so much yellow love! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼💛💛💛👏🏼👏🏼💛💛💛
  • Technology supports us but it will never replace us #sisterhood #relationships #sistersuppers @sistersupperclub @tiffanyjanescott @512homestore
  • Yes. I’ve been a bit quiet. Pre-resting and quiet creation before next week’s Camp Star Heart- the final event of this type and in this venue. We’re going out in full on magic and sparkle- we are BECOMING 💛. Many of you I will get to see soon!!! Xoxoxo
  • Afternoon break. Ass in the grass, held by the earth and then cuddled by Clemmo 🐻💛
  • Allow the space. Allow the emptiness. These two can be your greatest acts of creation.

  • As we were building our businesses in 2010-2011, My friend Nikki and I reminded each other often about the ebb and flow - that some days were super flow and fun and productive... and some were just ebb. . It’s normal. . I also think our being, biology, emotions, and thoughts bring the ebb in now and then to serve a purpose. . Allowing the ebb is actually supportive of long term sustainability. . Small business owners are managing so many pieces. Even if it’s fun and successful... it is tons of overstimulation of the nervous system. We never clock out. Even if we take time off, our brains rarely do. . For me, the ebb comes in and reminds me to rest. I fight it. I want to “think a more useful thought,” but that is only me pushing back and realizing that the ebb is ok. . I have done enough. I have support and projects and have met my duties just fine. . Yes, I have some dangling tasks, and eventually they will get done. . There is #ebbandflow - allow the ebb. And remember the flow always comes back. 💛 #smallbizlife #mentalhealth #betterlifebetterworkshow #wisewoman #over40coach #sustainable biz #fuckthehustle #kaisensteps #slowdowntospeedup
  • Yes. I get the irony of me posting this from my device. And, check in and see how your body feels in this moment about the time in tech. No self-criticism- just awareness in your body. . Is your body in the relaxation response? Or does it feel a bit overstimulated and in the hum of subtle stress response? I’m in the hum. My chest is asking for time in nature instead of in front of my device. . I have a love/frustration relationship with my phone... and I’m embarrassed to admit I can be mindlessly attached. . And the inter webs have set my business free! I’m so grateful for the way the web has helped me connect with YOU, reading this. . It’s all good. And like most paradoxes- being mindful and in the present moment helps us make strong intuitive choices. . Do you need a break? I do. Even a short one for the morning will bring renewed energy and flow. . Love, Your favorite life coach, 💛 Allison.
