6/28/24: The Looking Glass

Join Celeste Sowder in this heartfelt and insightful episode of "How Peculiar," where she delves into the profound impact of our environments, the power of words, and the art of reflection. Drawing from David Brooks' book *How to Know a Person*, Celeste shares a poignant story about a little girl whose quietness was transformed into a strength by a simple, kind remark from her teacher. She then opens up about her own experience of being labeled as having an "aggressive leadership ability" in kindergarten and how it shaped her self-view for years.

With her signature warmth and wisdom, Celeste explores how our environments and the words spoken over us can either limit or empower us. She brings in biblical insights, highlighting scriptures like Proverbs 16:24 and Ephesians 4:29, to show the transformative power of positive reflection and gracious words. Tune in to discover how embracing our God-given uniqueness and focusing on living for an audience of one can lead to true fulfillment and joy. Don’t miss this episode filled with encouragement, authenticity, and divine wisdom.
