The Savage Siblings Podcast

This episode discusses the benefit of working hard even when you feel you are not going to be able to do what is required. The Savage Siblings take a dive into the appeal of what is easy in life. Andre and Anitra connect this concept to the sibling experiences and responsibilities that they didn’t want to do from simple chores to complex decisions. They discuss the consequences of choosing the easy way rather than the “right” way. They share examples of the importance of ethical choices in life that have a direct impact on your future. This episode is for you if you’re struggling with learning to embrace the challenges that life brings and are tempted to find an easy answer rather than building courage, fortitude and patience. If you find that your ethics were shaped by negative childhood experiences that you find difficult to change, take a listen! If you reflect on how you enjoy meeting the challenges, don’t go anywhere, this is the episode for you. The Savage Siblings give you hope and incentive to meet the challenges of life in spite of the appeal of easy.

This episode discusses understanding the differences between valuation and validation in our lives. How and what we value in our lives and what we consider valid in our lives. Andre and Anitra share examples of how we use this knowledge to make decisions and the importance of your sibling relationship in defining valuation and validation. Have you ever wondered what determines your value system? Or even the relationships that you consider valuable and how we justify and validate those relationships. The episode explores the impact that value and validation have on each other and how we use that scale to invest in or disconnect in the relationships in our lives. Let’s take a deep dive into defining value and validity and the influence of our family experiences based on the choices that come from those definitions. This episode is for you if you question your worth, if others seem to lack value in who you are in their lives, and/or if you often do not feel accepted in your current relationships. The Savage Siblings share ways to avoid indecisiveness, understand your worth and choose to move forward beyond validation to purpose.
