    The Agile Self-Development podcast is an absolute delight to listen to. Hosted by Helene, the show offers a refreshing and grounded perspective on self-improvement that sets it apart from other motivational podcasts. With a focus on breaking down the self-improvement process into manageable steps, Helene makes personal growth accessible and relatable for her listeners. The podcast feels like having a warm conversation with friends over a cup of coffee, making it a truly enjoyable and inspiring experience.

    One of the best aspects of The Agile Self-Development podcast is Helene's ability to make big ideas feel achievable. By applying agile strategies commonly used in the software development industry to personal growth and projects, she provides practical and actionable advice that can be implemented in daily life. Her episodes are tightly crafted, delivering valuable insights and mind-expanding perspectives that help people thrive both in work and in life. As a busy mom, I appreciate how the episodes are short yet impactful, allowing me to easily fit self-improvement into my hectic schedule.

    On the downside, some listeners may find the content of the podcast too focused on personal growth and development. While this is the main theme of the show, those seeking variety or more diverse topics may find themselves wanting more. Additionally, although Helene's approach is grounded in reality, some listeners may prefer a more motivational style typically found in other self-improvement podcasts.

    In conclusion, The Agile Self-Development podcast is a gem for anyone looking for practical ways to improve themselves and their lives. With its accessible nuggets of wisdom packed into each episode, listening to Helene feels like receiving guidance from a trusted friend.

    S2 Ep 5 - WTF Is Group Therapy with Robert Pepper PhD

    On this episode, you'll hear from Dr Robert Pepper, author of Some People Don't Want What They Say They Want, and a therapist who's been running groups for over twenty-five years and has a special gift in helping member's resolve conflicts with relationships, both personal and professional. In group therapy, members learn to resolve obstacles to developing healthy relationships through interactions between members of the group. Listen now to learn more about what group therapy can do to support healthy relationships.Reach out to Rob at drpepperphd.com.Bonus thoughts from Dr. Pepper around the topic of using your friends to replace therapy: There are at least two reasons why friends and family can't replace group therapy.  Frankly, I believe it's quite psychologically naive to think that group therapy is unnecessary if a person has good friends and family. Good friends and family complement group therapy; they don't replace it. For one thing, good friends and relatives usually aren't objective. They have their own biases and opinions about what is best for us. And as "Dear Abby" has so brilliantly observed: "Unsolicited advice is always self-serving". Group members in a secure group environment, are in a better position to see our needs and foibles more clearly.           Second, and to my mind more importantly, social relationships are not designed to absorb the full impact of our own, nor friends, family and a life partner's feelings. In group therapy the directive to members is: "Say everything." That is clearly not a wise thing to do in non-therapy relationships. That is because there are some powerful, “dark” feelings that are better left unsaid in close, intense, personal relationships. They are better said in the safe context of a secure group. To share every thought and feeling with a loved one can be hurtful and damaging to the relationship. In group therapy it's different. At the same time, our closest friends and relatives are there to provide TLC when we need it, while group members are there for us only weekly at a specific time and place. The restrictions prohibiting outside contact and physical contact in the group, plus the contract, ensure that there will be no real-life consequences to group interactions and that group is a safe place where members' words can't come back to haunt them in their personal or professional relationships. Visit us at http://www.agileselfdevelopment.com!

    Episode 40 - WTF Is Mind Body Connection with Todd Nils Nyholm

    Play Episode Play 60 sec Highlight Listen Later Oct 13, 2021 31:26


    Many of us have heard about the mind body connection and even have examples from our life to prove it. I've got a recurring rash that shows up in times of my biggest stresses and when I'm feeling anxious, my heart races and my fingers shake, and I get queasy.  And there are positive affects as well. When I practice yoga, my mind comes to stillness and calm which isn't easy for those of us with an overactive mind. I have no doubt of the body-mind connection, the proof is in the pudding. My guest this episode is somatic therapist and author Todd Nils Nyholm. Through both personal and professional experience, he's discovered the undeniable relationship between mind and body. When stress, poor mental mindset, and negative external experiences convene, Todd maintains that the needs of the body are often the first thing we ignore, closely followed by forgetting to preserve our inner world. His new book, Ah, Brain, Why Do You Trouble Me So Much? speaks to:Rechanneling your mindset from self-imposed boundariesBreaking the chains from external expectationsMaking courageous decisions that prioritize your mind, body, and loved ones over work and other stressorsReorienting your inner compass.More about Todd Nils NyholmTodd Nils Nyholm is a Somatic Therapist working through the body with a number of modalities to help people reconnect with themselves and move towards more health and feeling better. He got into using modern and ancient therapies from all around the world in his own struggles to find health which started at an early age, which lead to a life long search for healing modalities and methods and ultimately the development of his own methods. You can connect with Todd through his website at Nytality.com.https://www.facebook.com/Nytalityhttps://www.instagram.com/nyholmvitallifemethod/https://www.linkedin.com/in/todd-nyholm-34662110/
