My journey is a testament to the strength within us all, and I'm honored to share it with you this Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

By fostering empathy and understanding, we can offer more than just resources—we can restore hope and confidence to those who need it most.

Have you ever found yourself pointing fingers rather than looking inwards? This week on MAMI on a Mission, join me, Mariana, as we embark on an eye-opening journey into the depths of personal accountability and self-reflection. We'll uncover why it's so easy to blame external factors, especially in our workplaces, and identify the hidden patterns in our behavior that reveal we might be the problem. Through my experiences as a life coach and employment coach, I’ll guide you through the challenging yet transformative process of recognizing and addressing our own faults.
Key Points:

• Acknowledging Our Tendency to Blame Others:
  • Reflect on recent conflicts or issues. How often have you blamed others without considering your own role?
• Reflecting on Our Own Actions:
  • Ask yourself: Am I contributing to the problem? Am I part of the solution or part of the problem?
  • Scripture Reference: Matthew 7:3-5 (NIV) - Understanding the importance of self-reflection before judging others.
• Seeking Forgiveness and Reconciliation:
  • Apologize sincerely and take responsibility for your actions.
  • Scripture Reference: Ephesians 4:32 (NIV) - Emphasizing kindness, compassion, and forgiveness.
• Committing to Personal Growth and Change:
  • Start a journal to track progress and reflect on actions.
  • Seek a mentor or join a support group for encouragement.

Discover the profound power of seeking genuine forgiveness and making amends. I'll recount my personal struggle with pride and anger, detailing how Celebrate Recovery helped me understand the true meaning of repentance. Through a poignant story about asking my mom for forgiveness, we’ll highlight the journey from self-interest to sincere contrition.

Accountability starts at home, and it’s something I’ve learned firsthand through my own marital communication challenges. By exploring the wisdom of Matthew 7:3-5, we’ll confront the hypocrisy of judging others when our own flaws loom larger. Reflecting on our recent social media interactions, we’ll discuss how our responses can either fuel conflicts or foster understanding. This episode encourages each one of us to pause and genuinely introspect, enhancing self-awareness and improving our relationships both personally and professionally.
