Ep. 98 Pause, Ponder and Pivot... Grief, Generations & Gentle Pivots in a Busy World with Justine...

Welcome / bienvenidos to Episode 98 of Love Learning You, sponsored by ProTeachAI Foundation (https://proteachai.com) . In this solo episode, Justine gets honest about why 2024–2025 have been some of the most challenging years of her life, and how three practices keep resurfacing as a lifeline: pause, ponder, pivot. Drawing from her research on intergenerational communication, the loss of her mother, and the quiet reshaping of her own partnerships and projects, she invites listeners to slow down and take inventory: • Who are you partnered with and why: professionally, personally, spiritually? • Who is truly supporting who you’re becoming? • Where is grief, caregiving, or unresolved family pain quietly steering your choices? Justine shares a powerful reflection inspired by Thich Nhat Hanh’s Answers from the Heart, including three core questions about childhood pain, caring for aging parents, and power dynamics in relationships. From there, she connects the dots between family systems, trauma, love, caregiving, and faith, weaving in the classic “Footprints in the Sand” image as a reminder that we are often carried when we feel most alone. You’ll also hear a big update about the future of Love Learning You: • Why long-form video episodes are shifting to shorter “micro-dose” audio episodes • How the Love Learning You YouTube channel (   / @lovelearningyou  ) (   / @lovelearningyou  ) will become a home for free workshops, trainings, and featured learning labs • What’s ahead with featured voices like Dr. Lynda Hodges, Dr. Brent Comer, and Marla Echols, and a new production partner, Vivid Scope Creative Solutions. This is an episode for anyone who feels like they’ve been wandering in the desert a bit and/or balancing caregiving, grief, ambition, faith, and the constant need to adjust course. You are not behind. You are pivoting. 🔗 Resources & Links • Sponsor: ProTeachAI Foundation tools and support for educators and leaders: ProTeachAI.com • Newsletter & introspective tools: IntrospectiveProfile.com (https://introspectiveprofile.com) → click “Newsletter” • YouTube (free workshops & future series): search @lovelearningyou and hit subscribe • Show notes & resources: linked in this episode’s description • 00:00 – Welcome & sponsor ProTeachAI shoutout, branding updates, and why 2025 has been the year of “pause, ponder, pivot.” • 03:10 – Grief, generations & rebuilding after loss Losing her mother, the weight of 2020–2025, and how intergenerational communication research deepened in the midst of grief. • 07:40 – Thich Nhat Hanh & three burning questions Reflections on Answers from the Heart and three core questions about painful childhoods, caregiving for aging parents, and unequal relationships. • 12:30 – Parents, trauma & the way love shows up imperfectly How parents and elders shape our norms and values, and why we can honor their intentions while naming the hurt and unresolved wounds. • 16:45 – Caring, burden & boundaries The emotional and financial strain of caregiving, raising children, and navigating relationships where love and exhaustion coexist. • 19:20 – Why the podcast is pivoting formats Behind-the-scenes of hosting long-form video episodes, increasing speaking requests, and the decision to move toward shorter, more frequent audio episodes. • 22:30 – Upcoming featured voices & new production partner Sneak peek of episodes with Dr. Lynda Hodges, Dr. Brent Comer, and Marla Echols, plus collaboration with Vivid Scope Creative Solutions. • 25:10 – YouTube as a home for free workshops How the Love Learning You YouTube channel will host workshops, trainings, and companion content while the podcast platform's audio feed becomes your 10–20 minute “micro-dose” space. • 27:00 – Faith, footprints & being carried through the hard years Justine’s reflections on “Footprints in the Sand,” Christ, Yahweh, and feeling carried through some of the hardest seasons of her life. • 29:10 – You’re not alone: pause, ponder, pivot A closing reminder about loneliness, grief, community, and your direct connection to the Great Creator!
