In today's episode, we delve into the concept of "relationship spirals," where partners get trapped in unhealthy behavioral patterns. Through societal conditioning, women often feel pressured to support their partners' success, leading to self-identification based on their partner's behavior. Conversely, men may internalize beliefs that tie their worth to their ability to make their partners happy. These conflicting expectations create tension and a sense of helplessness in relationships. By becoming aware of these patterns and untangling codependent behaviors, partners can cultivate a healthier, more interdependent dynamic. Join us as we explore how to break free from relationship knots and foster a more balanced exchange of energy and support.Want more help with this?

Humans experience circumstances vastly differently. One person can internalize an event as traumatic while someone else who experiences the same doesn't. What is this all about? What is the difference between primary and secondary trauma? Does it matter? Which type of trauma tends to remain unseen (people don't recognize a need to get support after the traumatic event(s))? As a coach (or any human), it's important to be aware of--especially with respect to current events. In this episode you'll learn:What primary and secondary trauma is.Why we sometimes fail to recognize or acknowledge trauma,Signs to help you recognize secondary trauma,More about secondary trauma I've been healing from, andSocietal expectations that condition us to minimize or ignore our trauma.Lindsay's current program offerings: Are you a Certified Coach looking to deepen your skillset by Becoming Trauma-Informed?

I used to think I had to be thinner to go to the gym. That sneaky, perfectionistic belief can pop up in surprising ways with self-investment. I've had many clients come to me ashamed that they weren't making “enough” money as a coach or didn't have “enough” clients. In today's episode I talk about this perfectionism and what it can look like, and ask questions to help you consider if money is one of the things holding you back from investing in yourself. We then talk about what beliefs you might need to release to open yourself up to receiving everything you're deserving of. You don't have to have everything figured out perfectly before investing, or going to the gym, or starting or doing the new thing you want to do.In this episode you'll learn about:How that perfectionism can show up,Questions to consider if money is holding you back, andBeliefs you may need to release to open yourself up to receiving.Lindsay's current program offerings: Are you a Certified Coach looking to deepen your skillset by Becoming Trauma-Informed?

Hailee Mae and I crossed paths at an event where I was teaching about trauma-informed coaching a few years ago. At the time, she was already a certified coach and didn't even know about the importance of using trauma-informed tools for herself, and her business. We get into a lot during this episode, and what you'll see is an overall "before and after" theme with respect to how becoming Trauma-Informed has changed Hailee's life personally, professionally, relationally, etc. We also get into some interesting topics like: The lack of certainty in systems where certainty is promised be it organizational structures, religious structures, the ways some coaches market, etc. The power of leaning into your intuition, and the cost of not doing so.Where many coaching certifications fall short.The importance of understanding that there isn't ONE way to do something; just YOUR way. Connect with Hailee:Website: https://www.haileemae.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/haileemaecoaching/Lindsay's current program offerings: Are you a Certified Coach looking to deepen your skillset by Becoming Trauma-Informed?

When not processed or acknowledged, trauma can impact our whole body. Body, mind, brain, nervous system, all of it. Today's episode will explain and illustrate examples of how this can happen and affect us mentally, physically, and spiritually. This is why simply being a Certified Coach in 2024 isn't cutting it. Clients are smarter consumers and demanding/expecting more. This is one reason why being trauma-informed matters, so we can meet clients where they're at. Are you one of these coaches opting into more than mindset work? If so, make sure you tune in for my special announcement and how you can take this work to the next level [pssstt! It has to do with my next round of certification starting soon . . . ;) ].Lindsay's current program offerings: Are you a Certified Coach looking to deepen your skillset by Becoming Trauma-Informed?

You've probably heard the phrase, “Things get worse before they get better”. Today's episode is all about contraction. That tightening or slinging back we often experience before slinging forward. This is important to talk about in relation to your coaching practice and other relationships because sometimes we forget that "up-leveling" isn't always daisies and dandelions. Let's remove some "shoulds," shall we? If you can relate, tune in to this episode where we'll discuss:Questions to consider when you're ready to move forward but triggers are pulling you back,Recognizing if your nervous system has the capacity to act on your intuition, andA helpful way I've found to think about constricting and releasing.There's so much you can do to support yourself (or your clients) when you're feeling constricted.Lindsay's current program offerings: Are you a Certified Coach looking to deepen your skillset by Becoming Trauma-Informed?

If you've been hustling and learned how to successfully run your business, but you can tell it's not sustainable… this episode is for you. Supporters need support too, and I've found that many coaches need support in making sure that they're taking care of themselves so that they can sustainably continue to run their practice or business in a way that's aligned for them. I started a hybrid version of my Advanced Relationship Trauma Certification for those who want that extra, personalized support for themselves and in turn, their clients; and in this episode I describe the benefits and also share a few clips from Molly Claire, an alumnus of this program. And what would November be without offering amazing prime options for those who join my programs this month?

Have you ever been in conversations with people that you couldn't be fully present for, and you're not sure why? Or vice versa? What about as a coach, have you had calls with your clients where it feels like you aren't getting through or connecting and you're not sure why?  If so, you're in good company. Today I'm speaking about a concept called the Window of Tolerance. Understanding this will support you in becoming more aware of your own optimal space for learning and using mindset work to your advantage. It will also help you see when to drop mindset models that aren't helping you or your clients.  In this episode you'll learn:What the window of tolerance is,What it looks like to be above or below your window of tolerance,And what you can do to get out of that hyper or hypo arousal state;All so that you can meet your clients where they're at to achieve the results they're looking for. And don't forget about you! Understanding this for yourself is paramount in creating the sustainable dream life you're deserving of. Lindsay's current program offerings: Are you a Certified Coach looking to deepen your skillset by Becoming Trauma-Informed?

The coaching industry is full of people touting that "Your results come from your thinking," "All problems are a thought problem," that's "Just a thought," etc. While these can be ways to consider the thoughts we have, it needs to be presented properly to clients in order to reduce and/eliminate harm as coaches. In todays podcast episode, listen in to find out:Where coaches using a one-dimensional (aka linear modeled) approach can mess this up,What thoughts actually can be,What thoughts aren't, and A few new ways to consider thoughts that come into you or your clientele's consciousness. Are you wanting to get a hold of my "Gardener's Guide to Thinking?"

What a gift it was to learn from ARTC Alumnus Meagan Skidmore as she shares more about what her experience has been supporting a child as he has shifted how he identifies. Meagan shares what her journey has been as a devout christian and how she her awareness of her expanded nuance has shifted over the years. How her love for her children and others has grown through these experiences, and how compassionate she has been towards past versions of herself that used to think differently.She speaks to how this experience led her to see the importance of becoming trauma-informed not only for herself, but for her relationships, clients, and more.  She also provides a few tips on how to better support members of the LGBTQIA+ community. This episode is a must-listen, as I think it's essential to understand how to support our marginalized teens, adolescents, and adults in this space. Lindsay's current program offerings: Are you a Certified Coach looking to deepen your skillset by Becoming Trauma-Informed?

This episode comes from a place of grief for the loss of a friend's child, feeling sadness for my friends, sadness for tragedies in the world, and raising awareness about how we unconsciously dehumanize ourselves and others. Intellectualization can be a part of this--which is what I speak to today.When we ignore our own inner knowing to others due to someone's degree, status, or title...what happens? Are we forgetting about our humanity? On the flip side, when we hierarchize ourselves and place ourselves above others, are we dehumanizing them? Intellectual, logical thinking is incredible. It set's us apart from other primates. However, when we lock into the cognitive mind so much that it cuts us off from accessing our heart . . . then what? And . . . how does this apply in the coaching industry? There are plenty of 'brain experts' who use cognitive understanding and one-dimensional coaching. This can be a great place to start; however, it is limited to what we can see, intellectualize, analyze, and understand right now. The intelligence of our bodies, our intuition, our souls, goes SO MUCH DEEPER and is limitless. Instead of hierarchize-ing cognitive work over body work, what if we can layer both over each other?  In this episode you'll learn:A personal example of where a degree or letters next to a name aren't the end all, be all.How intellectualizing can be a form of dehumanization.Honoring the importance of cognitive tools AND body-led intuition.The possibility and hope I see for the world.If you want to learn more about this topic, subscribe to get the Problem With Privilege webinar with a FREE Privilege and Oppression mini-workbook.Lindsay's current program offerings: Are you a Certified Coach looking to deepen your skillset by Becoming Trauma-Informed?

For women, anger is often looked at as something negative that we need to keep hidden. This chronic suppression over time can have emotional and physical effects on our body. Today my dear friend and colleague,  Jill Freestone, is here to dissolve some myths with me. What if: Anger is actually a beautiful messenger? Anger isn't always a secondary emotion? Anger is an informer when our values or boundaries are being crossed?Anger can and is meant to be channeled in beautiful, effective, POWERFUL ways?  Jill is an alumnus of my Advanced Relationship Trauma Certification for Coaches. She is an anxiety and emotions coach for teens and adults. To put it lightly, Jill. Knows. Her. Stuff.  When clients come to her needing support with anger, she helps her clients learn to develop a love for their anger and eliminate the shame around experiencing it.  Doing this creates fertile ground for sustainable healing to occur. Can you see why I'm such a FAN? If you've ever experienced anger (hi, that's all of us) and felt shame around it, this episode is for you.In this episode we discuss:The definition of anger (might be different than you think).How to get your body involved to process anger.How anger can actually be beneficial or helpful to you.Physical signs (and misdiagnoses) of anger.Externalized and internalized anger.Tips to integrate this new way of viewing and thinking about anger.Connect with Jill:WebsiteInstagramLindsay's current program offerings: Are you a Certified Coach looking to deepen your skillset by Becoming Trauma-Informed?

Kathy Kinghorn has been a trauma therapist for over 13 years, and was a facilitator in my first Advanced Relationship Trauma Certification for Coaches. In this conversation, we discuss the differences and similarities between trauma therapy and trauma coaching and touch on when's the right time for one or the other. For some, coaching might be the thing that prepares someone for therapy. For others, therapy might come before coaching and sometimes people can benefit from both.  We also talk about the disconnect between some therapists and coaches and how we envision that relationship between the two professions in the future. Our goal is what's in the best interest for our clients' healing and growth.In this episode we discuss:The difference between trauma therapy and trauma coachingWhen's the right time for working with a coachRecognizing that healing isn't linearThe importance of safetyHow we envision the relationship between therapists and coachesHierarchies and barriers to entryHow a collaborative effort can be in the BEST interest of our clients.What really matters when it comes to sustainable healing.Referenced in the episode:Felt Sense EpisodeConnect with Kathy:WebsiteFacebookLindsay's current program offerings: Are you a Certified Coach looking to deepen your skillset by Becoming Trauma-Informed?

I have another "Love Letters" podcast episode for you today, perhaps my most vulnerable podcast release yet.It is meant for those who have or are questioning their religious upbringing. This is something I have personally gone through; I have also witnessed many loved ones and a surprisingly large % of my clients experience in recent years.So, the "Love Letter" portion comes from personal experience as well as observations of those around me (be it clients, friends, support groups, other family, etc.).  Tune in to listen to key sharing points and myth-clearing of this episode:  Excerpt from a journal entry.A slice of my Spiritual Expansion/Deconstruction.Lastly, a Love letter to those affected by religion or similar affiliations/ upbringings.A few myths are also cleared up:People oftentimes don't ASK for their awakenings. People oftentimes WANT to make it work in their religions they were born into.People can be trustworthy regardless of religious affiliationPeople have values regardless of religious affiliation.Everyone's journey is unique. There is no one size fits all answer for where all the humans should be. Whether you are all in with your religion, half in, in and out, etc, I 100% respect your choice to be where you know you're meant to be. I hope this love letter helps you feel validated, loved, and supported in the questions you're asking and decisions you're making. There is space for you to be and exist exactly as you are.Want more help with this?

Join us today as I have my client, Karin, on the podcast to talk about the Barbie movie! If you haven't seen Barbie yet, just know this episode does contain spoilers. But we talked about Karin's story, our thoughts about Barbie, the double standards we face as women, the choices that we DO have, and more.  The importance of finding out who you are as an individual outside of relationships.The system of patriarch, and reversing gender roles. The double-standard so many women are held to today. Following your intuition to find YOUR path, not the one that was laid out for you by society or those around you. Bravely choosing to step into the human experience.Karin helps women move through the grief and trauma of their divorce by reconnecting with themselves, creating lasting emotional resilience and living a truly independent life, so their lives can be even better than when they were married. She's the host of the Becoming You Again Podcast, where she offers the most support and love for anyone going through a divorce who needs some guidance and a friendly supporter (who understands exactly what they're going through). Connect with Karin:PodcastWebsiteInstagramFacebookLindsay's current program offerings: Looking for a Trauma-Informed Coaching Certification?

You've heard people talk about the American Dream, along with the checklist path to acquiring it. The specifics are likely a little different for most, but generally, it's some version of getting a degree, advanced degree, great job, great house in a great neighborhood, having kids, and more. But what then? Does it bring the happiness that it promises? What happens when that fairytale dream suddenly falls apart? Where's the updated checklist for what happens then? That's what happened to me. When I was working two part-time jobs to make ends meet while my partner was non-functioning, I remember thinking; what is this all for?  I barely get to see my children when work is crazy, and I come hope to a house full of never-ending jobs and projects. This is NOT my American Dream. In today's episode I'm sharing how I got to that point, and how I pivoted and moved forward towards a life that I am passionate and excited about--where I no longer get Sunday blues.  The path to moving forward contained things I had to say goodbye to in order to say hello to something better. This includes a farewell to:Hustle, grind, repeat culture and the glorification that comes with it. Being robotic in my workA 9-5 jobThe belief that you can't have a career you love and earn the money you want. Since saying goodbye to that in a way that supports my nervous system, I have been able to open up to so much more Freedom, Peace, Joy, Aliveness, Flexibility with respect to my children, family travel, and more.Listen in to hear my story of navigating those unforeseen life circumstances and find hope in the fact that if you have the desire to do something different with respect to your career, it's there because it's possible. Lindsay's current program offerings: Looking for a Trauma-Informed Coaching Certification?

Since birth, our connection to ourselves and our desires has been systematically stripped from us. This episode will provide insight and awareness around some of that and help you practice moving forward in reclaiming your sovereignty.By the end of this part 1 and part 2 episode series, you'll understand:  An easy metaphor for setting boundaries for yourself,  Boundaries at a deeper level and how conditioning plays into our struggle to maintain them,Why you may have struggled to set boundaries in the past, and Questions to consider and help you set a boundary.Other episodes referenced: One MAJOR thing missed when it comes to healing: Our Felt SenseLINK FOR BOOK (quote about wild woman, cycles, conditioning)Lindsay's current program offerings: Looking for a Trauma-Informed Coaching Certification?

Part 2 of this 2 part episode series continues to explore the reality of society today–one where varying levels of abuse and oppression exist–yet maintain the truth that this subject matter can be discussed appropriately from an empowered place. Tune in to learn more about what emotional abuse can look like in your most difficult relationships with humans, but also institutions and organizations. The hope is for you to feel seen, witnessed, validated–or for you to see that you can be this person for your clients in the future. And I'm not exaggerating in mentioning that you could be the “first” person to see your clients in a way that they've never experienced before–without bias or agenda. Carried forward from part 1: Oftentimes, when we hear the word “abuse” we think “ugh, I don't like that word,” “people overuse and abuse the word ‘abuse,'” or “people who use that word are being victim-y and can't get over the past”. This is a topic we cover in-depth in my programs but for the purpose of this episode, you'll still come to discover a high-touch, general definition of abuse. You'll see that if this applies to you, that you can talk about “Your Lived Experience” from an empowered space. In this episode you'll learn the definition of emotional abuse, every-day examples of abuse (some might surprise you), and the distinction between behaviors and attitudes. My hope is for you to leave this episode feeling witnessed, validated, and empowered enough to create enough safety within to set boundaries where appropriate in your intimate and other relationships. This work moves us all closer towards living into our authentic self.Are you already a life coach who is ready to become Trauma-Informed?
