Having a strained relationship with religion is not new for a lot of people, especially those that come from an Orthodox background. In this episode, Matana and Dr. Leah Katz, a clinical psychologist who specializes in working with teenagers and adults, talks with us about the role of mindfulness in breaking free from the traditions and expectations that keep us from living an authentic life and the journey towards living your authentic self and dealing with the obstacles that come with it. They also tackle the difference between spirituality and religion, and how mindfulness helps in redefining our approach to religion, traditional beliefs, and God.Mindfulness is treating ourselves with compassion, and only then can we start healing and making peace with living our true selves. In the end, bravery is removing the distractions and instead opening ourselves up, taking a pause, and confronting our pains.Dr. Leah is a clinical psychologist working in private practice in Portland, Oregon. In 2022, she published her first book “Gutsy: Mindfulness Practices for Everyday Bravery”. She also speaks, writes, and provides expert commentary on mental health.If you need more support in your mental health journey please reach out to us in our private Facebook group.

Talli Rosenbaum, an individual, couples and certified sex therapist, who deals mainly with human relationships, and in particular, intimate relationships, joins us in this eye opening episode that confronts a controversial topic that needs exploration. Suppressed and overt traumas of all kinds can be often be triggered and revealed in intimate and personal sexual situations. Even more, one's first sexual experience in of itself, can be perceived as a traumatic event, if conversation, mutual expectations, assumptions and desires are not properly addressed in advance.Intimacy and the dynamics between marriage partners have been a taboo subject in the orthodox world. In this episode, Matana and Talli discuss emotional and physical intimacy and some of the issues common in the Orthodox world.What are Orthodox Jewish women facing when dealing with the mitzvah of Niddah?Are Orthodox Jewish men taught the appropriate way to interact with the opposite gender?If not, how does this interplay create conflicts?What happens when one partner is less interested in sex than the other?Matana and Talli tackle these questions and more in this episode. Providing validation and empathy to our spouses are imperative to create relational safety. Communication is key to safety in all good relationships as in the case of every relationship that one is trying to repair. Feelings of rejection, anger and resentment are typical when dealing with sexual issues. Therefore, the ability to be completely present and listen to the other person is imperative for the healing to begin and truly take place. Much of our ability to connect has to do with what we were taught about our entitlement toward pleasure, what we were taught about our autonomy over our bodies, as well as our own understanding of our bodies.About Talli Rosenbaum: Together with Rabbi Scott Kahn, Talli is the co-host of Intimate Judaism, which is one of Matana's Top 5 Podcasts. She is also the co-author of the book “I Am for My Beloved: A Guide to Enhanced Intimacy for Married Couples.”, together with Dr. David Ribner.If you need more support in your mental health journey please reach out to us in our private Facebook group.

In this first episode of 2023, Matana walks through the steps of how to focus on listening. Others often turn to us to unpack concerns, share moments and be a listening ear but we may not give the attention they deserve, despite our best intentions. Moreoften, people aren't using the words to accurately transmit what they wish to convey or the emotions they feel.Human connection is critical and to be a soundboard without presence of mind isn't providing empathy or sympathy to those who may desperately need it at that moment. We often listen without understanding the underlying concern, which is as not effective at grasping the intent. This episode provides real life and personal examples of how we can all learn to focus and provide comfort to those we care about through understanding the deeper message.If you need more support in your mental health journey please reach out to us in our private Facebook group.

A Thanksgiving Holiday Gift to you:Each morning I start my day with a gratitude meditation that grounds me, brings me back to "center" and "balances" me for the day as much as possible. This process helps me to focus on things that matter to me and still allows space for what hurts at the same time. On this Thanksgiving, I want to thank you all, each and every one of you, for being a part of Hope to Recharge, for joining me in my journey and being a part of our mission. I am grateful and appreciate all of your feedback, critique, inspiration, support, and most importantly, for being you.This audio episode is my personal custom gratitude meditation that I practice, and I encourage you to listen and practice along with me, so that you can begin your morning with it and end your day with it. This meditation is intended to be listened to when you have a moment of quiet and calm, and without disturbance, to allow you to focus on the words, breath and devote time to achieve its full effect.Remember: no two days are the same. Some days you will feel words that will be more powerful and meaningful and some days they might feel painful. Sit with those feelings and feel free to customize and/or change the words along the way. I personally know how verbalizing and internalizing the sense of gratitude created a transformative shift in my life, moving from deep depression and trying to embrace the moments that are ordinary to extraordinary. I hope you enjoy this and I hope you "gift yourself" the gift of infusing your day with gratitude.Studies show that gratitude "vibrates" at 540 MHz and being grateful, falls on the same level on the chart as love. It is one of the highest vibration frequencies one can be. The more time spent in the frequency of gratitude and love, the more your body's frequency rises and the healthier you become.Why not "gift" ourselves with something that we can easily give ourselves and choose each morning to tap into the highest frequency God created in the universe? We each have many things that we don't have control over, but we do have the ability to control our mind. Let's tap into the gift of gratitude and have the benefits of the Gratitude effect.Thank you again for choosing Hope to Recharge at this moment and have a meaningful day and a Happy Thanksgiving holiday.With much love and gratitude,-MatanaIf you need more support in your mental health journey please reach out to us in our private Facebook group.

Dr. Jennifer Finlayson-Fife, an LDS relationship and sexuality coach with a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology, discusses how we all want security in our lives, marriage, society and often in religious beliefs. Often the “rule” becomes the most important thing which then creates tension and frays our freedom and structure. Instead of allowing honesty and courage to drive us, we resort to making others happy, which causes us to fracture.Dr. Jennifer discusses how individuals and couples can achieve greater satisfaction and passion in their emotional and sexual relationships, to foster self- and sexual-development, create happier intimate relationships, as well as happier individuals, despite social consequences by becoming self aware and understanding our choices.If you need more support in your mental health journey please reach out to us in our private Facebook group.

In this second part of this episode, (part 1 here) with our returning guest Elisheva Liss, we dive into the controversial topic of the benefits and challenges of making our partners and children aware of the fundamentals of relationships and the taboo topic of sex awareness.Often, religious or community obligations and accepted practices encourage young people to marry, and often without providing the tools to a happy marriage. Expectations in physical and emotional relationships are followed by disappointment, marital distress and divorce, leaving us to ponder what went wrong. Nowadays, the notion of commitment is mocked like an outdated religious construct and Elisheva suggests we take the time and patience to educate children, when age appropriate, and on an easy to understand level, that people experience love in different ways, as a much needed preparation for relationships so as to avoid misinformation and missed expectations later on in life. Listen to previous episodes with Elisheva here and here.If you need more support in your mental health journey please reach out to us in our private Facebook group.

In part 1 of this 2 part episode with our returning guest Elisheva Liss, we discuss the views shared and seen by ourselves and society regarding divorce. Elisheva is a licensed psychotherapist whose training is in marriage and family therapy, and also treats individuals and couples. You can listen to previous episodes with Elisheva here and here.Sometimes divorce is necessary and sometimes the topic is broached because of frustration and stress. When working it out for legitimate reasons becomes impossible, the stigma and perception may be too much to bear. Still, giving it another shot at making peace is often the best option if not only to be certain that you gave it your all and face regret later.If you need more support in your mental health journey please reach out to us in our private Facebook group.

As Hope to Recharge completes its 3rd year and 200th episode, we take a moment to recognize past achievements and accomplishments and give gratitude to those who helped reach this milestone. Although the journey of healing was treacherous and laden with the possibility of defeat, we continue to discuss and practice the essential tools that allow us to move forward each day.While focusing on the past of both the podcast and her own personal journey, Matana discusses the path moving forward, which is full of potential and the continuing course of Hope to recharge podcast rebranding to discuss taking action and living alive while still keeping the goal of breaking the stigma of depression and anxiety.We welcome our community and listeners to join us in the creative exploration of both a name, theme and logo for the rebranding as well as any thoughts or topics to be discussed.If you need more support in your mental health journey please reach out to us in our private Facebook group.

In part 2 of our episode with attorney-turned-Imago-healer Igor Meystelman, Igor shares the nitty gritty of how Imago therapy works, explaining and drawing from his own journey and experience from the dialogs with his wife. Imago relies on the fundamentals of human behavior and our deep and innate desire to grow and form healthy human connections.By sharpening and heightening our intrinsic senses of perception and intuition, Imago allows us to put what we already know, into thought and words. With practice, empathy becomes our initial reaction to any conflict or to any person, and supersedes our reactive and impulsive tendency to be insensitive, critical or harsh.To fully appreciate this episode, be sure to listen to part 1 found here: https://hopetorecharge.com/episode/the-evolution-of-a-divorce-lawyer-to-imago-healer, in which Igor shares the journey of how he got to Imagoland. We previously mentioned how he saw many couples pursuing divorce but after a fateful and explosive conflict with his wife, he discovered Imago Therapy, which helped his conquer obstacles in his own marriage and exponentially strengthen the bond between himself and his spouse.Although its power has the latent ability to overcome tremendous barriers, heal years of unintentional abuse and gain true wisdom, it is most effective when both participants are willing and ready to grow together, to heal and unite. In unimaginable ways, Imago provides the critical tools needed to mend years of chronic dispute and allows each participant to finally feel what their partner has felt all along. In their continuing journey, both participants can adapt new methods of truly understanding their spouses in a healthy and loving way and achieve a true love that comes from a place of safety, deep understanding, empathy and trust.If you need more support in your mental health journey please reach out to us in our private Facebook group.

As an attorney, Igor Meystelman saw many couples pursuing divorce. In his own personal life, after a fateful and explosive conflict with his wife, he discovered Imago Therapy, which helped his conquer obstacles in his own marriage and exponentially strengthen the bond between himself and his spouse. Despite his career aspirations, he decided to take on learning the skills needed to become a Certified Imago Facilitator to allow couples seeking divorce the alternate option of reuniting with Imago therapy to foster rehabilitation and spousal harmony.In this first episode of two part series, Igor reveals how he came to discover how Imago isn't typical therapy.

In their continuing journey, both participants can adapt new methods of truly understanding their spouses in a healthy and loving way and achieve a true love that comes from a place of safety, deep understanding, empathy and trust.Stay tuned for part 2 of this captivating episode which Igor details how Imago works and its transformative power.If you need more support in your mental health journey please reach out to us in our private Facebook group.

Aliza Bulow, a returning guest, shares the path that led to her conversion to Judaism with us, an in depth conversation about finding belonging in our community, and the love, respect and trust she shares with her husband, despite his late-in-life rejection of their religion. Aliza previously shared her journey through her son's depression and eventual suicide in, part 1 here and part 2 here.As a young teenager, Aliza was unsettled with her parents' religious views, and searched for truth and peace. She studied different paths before finding a book on Judaism in her middle school library and immediately felt at home and wanted to convert. The local Rabbi told her she was too young to convert, but that she should go to camp where she ate up every opportunity to learn. Aliza's parents supported her exploration, and off she flew over the North Pole to Israel at 16 years old to see if anyone could tell she was a convert, where it was immediately obvious that she had not been born Jewish, having a last name of Beech from the city of Portland, Oregon.It took time and a great deal of learning to feel that she could claim to be a part of her new community. However, as her kids and grandchildren are born into it, their family feels more established in the community. Becoming a leader has given her a purpose among the people. Aliza still feels like an outsider looking in at mainstream Orthodox Judaism since she believes that she was not made to follow practices commonly held, but to connect herself and other people to Hashem, and to each other, to strengthen the Jewish community so it can shine brightly and cause others to want to join too. Her goal is to guide others to the truth of who God is.As a convert, she has a different perspective on everything. She didn't learn or pursue out of obligation or because it's what “everyone else” was doing. It was all fresh; it was all new. An average Jewish person may not have noticed what she sees because they often see commonly-held perspectives.Her marriage to someone who left Judaism leaves no correct answer on how to deal with such a situation. When tragedy struck her family and her husband left their shared spirituality, they choose to cling to each other through the hardship, without judgment through the grieving process. While Aliza is sad that her husband turned away from God, he supports her in her choice of practicing religion, despite his aversion to it. He works hard to provide enough money for kosher food, eats kosher cheese and is supportive of her dreams to change the world with Hashem. While it is challenging to be disconnected from a spouse because of nonparallel beliefs, there are many married couples who do share their faith but still don't share a spiritual connection. Despite their philosophical differences, their children have grown up seeing parents demonstrate a deep respect and love for someone with an opposing view, allowing for a safe environment for exploration and the choice to choose their own pathIf you need more support in your mental health journey please reach out to us in our private Facebook group.

And not fear that your kids will X, Y, and Z? You can't. The fear is there. So the question is, how do you go there and deal with that fear?” @AlizaBulow @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge“We are on different religious pathways and that's not changing, but it doesn't have to be in two separate houses.” @AlizaBulow @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge—————————————————————————If you need more support in your mental health journey please reach out to us in our private Facebook group.

Coming back from Passover break, we catch up on Matana's journey, and the internal changes seen over the past few weeks. May is crowned National Mental Health Awareness month, but is it enough to just have it marked in a calendar? Growth and appreciation are a constant and required focus to continue along the journey of recovery and noticing the little details are a critical tool to developing a healthy gratitude mindset. Awareness can be fickle if it isn't well defined and intended for long term internalization.Awareness is only successful if we make a commitment to take the required next steps to living a better and healthier life. Each person's journey to recovery is unique and is every therapist's session. No two people will chart the same course and we all must try different avenues that could lead to improvement since we don't know in advance which will be the best choice. We all, however, must put forth that effort to make it happen or there won't be any positive change.If you need more support in your mental health journey please reach out to us in our private Facebook group.

As Matana faces different hectic life events, she navigates from important to more important. Often, we neglect important items for things that are more important, and that's ok. Feeling unaccomplished or missing out on goals can often lead to disappointment but we need to also focus on downtime. Critically important for maintaining proper mental health, taking the time we need to reflect, relax or focus is also needed for continued energy.When we need to, choosing ourselves over others isn't selfish, but is self preservation. When we do get set back, feeling the pain, struggle or anxiety is part of being human and a lesson to learn from, so we can understand why. This understanding will help us to grow, and not to avoid the pain, which is a part of life. Life is busy. Life is hectic. We can use the challenges to grow.If you need more support in your mental health journey please reach out to us in our private Facebook group.

We're human an are programmed to want things in our life. Some people want happiness, others seek weight loss, better sleep, reducing stress, financial success or a healthy mindset. We yearn and it often consumes us. When we receive that which we so desperately seek, how do we react? Do we utilize gratitude? Many of us do, but is the gratitude expressed, proportionate to the intensity of the original yearning?Everything in life is in degrees of frequency, duration, and intensity. Even healing is measured in these terms. We often look for absolutes. Am I completely healed? More often than not, complete healing is the end goal but not easily reached. Still, we are able to applaud our successes by the incremental and small changes of improvement by noticing and logging the frequency, duration, and intensity of our experiences over time.As we all know, sharing can help others.

Jason Wasser is a healer therapist who practices the neuro-emotional technique. A licensed marriage and family therapist, he is one of only a few thousand licensed NET practitioners in the country and a mind-body integrative wellness specialist. His knowledge about the mind-body connection and how to move past traditional talk therapy through trauma muscle testing is extensive.Jason has witnessed firsthand positive patient outcomes that he has facilitated through his use of the neuro-emotion technique for releasing physical pain rooted in emotional trauma. Giving us a rare inside look at the new research being done by Andrew Newberg on NET, he details the rigorous process of clinically validating these findings through FMRI scans and muscle testing.Matana and Jason had a lot to unpack together, discussing traumas and their physiological effect. Jason details his “Home Run Formula” which touches on the four bases of mind-body wellness; removing toxins, assessing nutrition, repairing structural damage, and healing the mind.He coaches his patients to focus on their core values and where in their life those core values were violated. He guides patients through the neuro-emotional technique by focusing on the beliefs associated with their emotional reality rather than specific traumatic events, accomplishing what traditional therapies take years to tackle.As we all know, sharing can help others.

What do you do when you are struggling with your mental health and you are not feeling supported by your family and friends the way you wish? This is a question that I am often asked and is a common concern in the mental health community. This is our last episode in our solo series where I am diving into my own story of healing which included, finding the right support.I want to honestly share with you a perspective that you may have not considered when it comes to your loved ones. Sometimes it is difficult for those that are the closest to you to fully understand what you are going through. It can even be stressful because they may not have the language to support you the way they wish they could and they also might feel overwhelmed because they are carrying the weight of your struggles.Although this may seem like an impossible situation with no clear solution, there is a practical approach that you can take that will not only help you find the support you need but also be a relief to the ones you love. Tune in today to hear how I found support outside of my friends and family and why I recommend that you do the same.Speaking of support, we would LOVE to be a part of your community. Find us on Facebook, Hope to Recharge where we will lock arms with you and be a support when you need it the most.

Children with OCD and anxiety need their parents to understand that they feel terrified. They need their parents to express confidence in their ability to face their fears. What they don't need is for their parents to do everything for them when they're afraid because over time, they will need to learn how to deal with their fears when their parents aren't around. Dr. Lebowitz's book, Breaking Free of Child Anxiety and OCD: A Scientifically Proven Program for Parents, provides a roadmap for how parents can successfully guide their children to overcome their fears. The way parents accommodate their own OCD, severe anxiety or phobias can have an extremely negative impact on their children. Many people use rituals for years and do not seek therapy until they see what their habits are doing to their children.The difference between a quirk and a disorder has to do with how much of a negative impact the particular way you want to do things has on your life.A child not attending school because of their fears, someone is unable to sleep or eat, behaviors which strongly affect relationships are generally examples of a disorder. Getting help with problems causing smaller amounts of distress will improve your current life and may prevent the quirks from developing into disorders According to Dr. Lebowitz's research, the best way to respond to a child who is experiencing anxiety is to first validate their experience and provide confidence. If your child is experiencing a full-blown panic attack, there's not much to do, except wait it out and remain calm.Children who grew up without any serious anxiety and suddenly develops a very intense fear, often had a traumatic experience that will require more support and a different kind of therapy. Try to become aware of periodic anxiety before they culminate into a larger event.At the end of this episode, Matana continues her conversation asking Dr. Lebowitz personal questions of experiences in Matana's life and with her children, and received priceless and life changing advice.

And if what they see reflected back to them is a child who's always weak, vulnerable, helpless, overwhelmed, can't cope, can't deal, what are they going to believe about themselves? Exactly. That's right. They're going to see themselves as unable to stand anxiety. And that is pretty much the worst thing for an anxious child to believe about themselves.” @MatanaJacobs @EliLebowitz #HopetoRecharge“Here's what I'll say about [your kid having] panic attacks… Stay calm… When that plane is bumping around, you're gripping the arm rest, and your knuckles are white and your belly is tightened – in that moment, you don't want to look over at the flight crew and see them freaked out… You wanna see them being normal.” @MatanaJacobs @EliLebowitz #HopetoRecharge“Panic attacks are not dangerous.” @MatanaJacobs @EliLebowitz #HopetoRecharge“Your child is scared at night.

In part 2 of our talk with Alana Shlagbaum, who is not a therapist, doctor or any kind of health expert but a preschool teacher from New Jersey, Matana shares her own personal story with Alana, of how miscarriage and living with chronic bleeding prevented her from becoming pregnant.After having her first son, Matana went on birth control. During that time, she also lived with  chronic feminine bleeding which got worse after her third child. Due to Jewish law, she was unable to physically be with her husband unless she had stopped bleeding and undergone ritual bathing, but her bleeding did not stop. Additionally, her mind and body did not respond well to the strong hormones she was taking. She wanted to travel to a family event without bleeding, so she doubled my birth control that weekend, which put her into a full panic attack that kick-started her massive depression. After that, she dealt with several miscarriages and finally found an alternative hormonal birth control. She unknowingly got pregnant for her last time in my forties, Thank God without any issues, despite her intense fear. It had been a journey full of many tears, hard work, and much growth.Many women suffer through challenges like these silently and alone. Both Matana and Alana want you to know that you're not alone. There are other people out there with similar struggles and they both both made it through. There is real hope.Thank you for listening to Hope to Recharge!

Our guest today is not a therapist, doctor or any kind of health expert but a preschool teacher from New Jersey. She talks about our personal experiences with infertility, miscarriage, and living with chronic bleeding conditions. Alana struggled for years without having anyone who understood what she was going through, so she is here to offer that support she never had to others.Living with an uncommon condition is difficult enough when it's known what i's going on, but so many people are sick with difficult symptoms, and nobody can tell them why. Doctors are too often dismissive because they seem healthy and are told they do not need treatment unless they're literally dying in that moment. Alana fought with the medical system for over seven years and only received a diagnosis after she had gotten a hysterectomy to end her suffering and her organs were analyzed. Before then, there was no one to explain why her body was not behaving in the expected way – why it was not keeping her babies alive and, as an Orthodox Jewish Woman, why it was forbidding her from spending time with her husband, according to Jewish law, by bleeding so many days of the month.In part 2 of this episode, Matana briefly shares her story as well. Many women suffer through challenges like these silently and alone. Both Matana and Alana want you to know that you're not alone. There are other people out there with similar struggles and they both both made it through. There is real hope.Thank you for listening to Hope to Recharge!

Discovering true belonging is a gift. As humans, we crave belonging on both personal and communal levels. The feeling of being connected is a fundamental desire and we can learn to accept others who are different than we are by seeing and validating their choices made, based on their need to belong.We often scold children for making choices we disagree with. Validating and showing empathy would likely accomplish greater results in improving our relationships, and the pressures that we have amongst our social structures often blind us to the needs of others.Feeling discomfort from other people's choices should not stop us from accepting them and accepting their choices, which were made by them, based on who they are - not who we are. Learning to accept others out of love is key to binding us all together in better, longer lasting and healthier relationships.Thank you for listening to Hope to Recharge!

Communities often attempt to silence sexual conduct and misconduct and the associated secrecy and shame it fosters. Intentional secrecy surrounding sexual knowledge, sexual abuse and sexual addiction profoundly harms children and families in any community and especially one that is sincere and devout, such as Judaism. The Chasidic community in particular has an extreme level of secrecy to the degree that the word ‘pregnant' is not said aloud, because it's considered too sexual. Mordecai Salzberg, LCSW, is a sexual addiction therapist who works primarily with Chasidic Jews, and speaks about the havoc that this secrecy is wrecking.The goal of this episode is not to attack any one particular community but rather to bring healthy and meaningful awareness for those affected by these topics and to make them informed that there is hope and healing possible with awareness, conversation and therapy and the experiences described come from years of Mordechai's firsthand client interactions.Shame from sexual abuse can begin at a young age. In a traditional Chassidic home, a child is commonly chastised and often made to feel ashamed about natural curiosity or asking questions about human biology. These children are often unaware that the topic is to be regarded as private and kept within their family until the moment they are scolded for bringing it up. Ill equipped and uneducated adults often respond with panic and shame, desperately trying to ensure that no one hears their child speak of "such things". To make matters complex, parents have an intense fear of being thrown out of the community. There's no margin for error. If something shameful is innocently spoken or if a major incident such as rape happens, most families attempt to hide it, to protect their place in the community. If a young boy discovers his own body and gets caught masturbating, deemed “the sin”, he could be publicly shamed by his family or mentors, without explanation.Victims of sexual assault and abuse are often not provided with the tools to understand the difference between when they themselves do something wrong versus when someone has wronged them. They are shamed for speaking up and instructed not to speak of sinful things. Even when believed and validated, it is rare that anything significant happens to their abuser. The family downplays the event for fear of bringing shame to the community by admitting that someone amongst them could commit such heinous acts. Often, that same abuser continues to abuse without being brought to justice. Abusers are often trusted individuals such as school staff members or religious leaders. Being assaulted by a stranger from outside the community is rare. Sadly, every male client of Mordechai's who struggles with sexual addiction was molested as a child. They often feel that they became “perverted” at a young age and “steeped in sinful desires” after an adult introduced them to sexual touch.It is not uncommon for an accuser to get in more trouble than their abuser. Families gets angry at the individual who speaks up for causing a commotion. In the Chasidic Jewish Community, as in all groups, abuse is often only seen as a problem once made public. The family of the molester or pedophile will be shamed and the siblings will be considered ineligible for marriage matches. Although complex, children still deserve to be protected from molesters who should be brought to justice.When a family does come to the community leaders with an abusive situation, it is uncommon to file charges or bring the perpetrator to justice. This misinterpretation of the Jewish legal concept of “moser” (informant), perpetuates the generational cycle of shame and abuse. Sometimes, a family will simply relocate, so as not to re-traumatize those who have been assaulted. Uneducated and without given therapy, these children are statistically likely to become abusers themselves.At the end of this episode, Mordechai discusses two controversial topics which is available exclusively as premium content here: https://hopetorecharge.com/product/the-fatal-price-of-sexual-shame-and-secrecy-mordechai-salzberg-bonus-content/Thank you for listening to Hope to Recharge!

We are human and are always evolving, growing and learning. Many times, we don't communicate what we are feeling. We often neglect those close to us and lack the skills of how to effectively communicate. Sometimes, our biases feed our agenda and we take others for granted, not recognizing what they do for us or misdirect our mindset due to misunderstanding.Thankfully, the human experience is fluid and allows us to learn from past mistakes to make improvements, which only stand to benefit us, for we are the recipient of our own growth. Matana shares lessons learned in her family relationships, with her husband and children, taking us on her journey from learning to correctly identify caring from those around her to appreciating those closest to us, who often get the least honorable mention.Learning to listen in order to understand is a critical tool in self development and harnessing the power of silence when having a stressful conversation, can deescalate and the defuse the tension, allowing for understanding, healing, connection and growth.Thank you for listening to Hope to Recharge!

Author Gary Sweeney, wrote a brilliant memoir about growing up with his great-grandparents' support. His book, The Light of Other Days, shows us the positive person that his great-grandfather was in his life, rather than focusing on his abusive parents, teachers and others. The title's intent is to focus on the good days that have been or will be, rather than the deep darkness of the present. Gary experienced depression and lives with anxiety and sensory processing issues. He has a talent for describing dealing with those struggles growing up. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has lived through something similar or who has a child going through it.Gary grew up attending Catholic School in Philadelphia. It was a fear-based culture where children were scared into obedience. Tormented with anxiety, he did not do well emotionally under that system. Many children experience this, and it becomes so overwhelming for some that they eventually kill themselves because they can't deal with the terror and confusion of the way they're being taught they must live. Those in authority threatened him with fire and brimstone, assuming Gary was acting out. They did not consider that his behavior might be coming from anxiety or overstimulation. Worse, his stepfather would tell him that “bad guys would going to come take him away in the night if he didn't stop misbehaving”, and Gary wasn't sure what he was doing wrong. No one validated his struggles except his great-grandfather. Anyone who perceived that he was feeling anxious would minimize his feelings, telling him to “stop feeling that way”.At daycare, they had a designated nap time. All the other children would fall asleep on command, but Gary could not, and felt trapped on his floor mat. He described it as being stuck in quicksand. All the sounds happening nearby were blaring in his ears as he waited for it to be over. He had to find a way to cope, so he counted 60 seconds 30 times every day. That way, there was an end in sight, and he knew when it was. Of the many things that Gary's great-grandfather taught him or did for him, the most important lesson, was to be in the present. Gary doesn't remember any gifts anyone gave him, but he remembers the places he went with his great-grandfather and the fun and positive feelings he has about the time they spent together. He learned how important it is for a child to have an authority figure who believes that their struggles are real, comforts them and doesn't take advantage of their fears. His current life mission is to be there for his daughters.Thank you for listening to Hope to Recharge!

Often, we confuse our excuses to be reasons and our reasons to be excuses. We are often certain that the excuse is really a defining reason for us, but we fear it because it might force us to work on something we really don't want to, or face an issue we'd rather not deal with. if we really, truly want to change our lifestyle to move out of a rut, whether mental health, relationships, trying to attract more positivity in our lives, we need to ask the basic question, how much do we really want that change?The amount that we want it is going to be the determining factor of how we will succeed. we will then be on a path moving forward, which can change and change again to something else and then does something else, but change is good. Staying stagnant isn't.Similar to like an onion that we have to peel and peel them with different channels, we keep getting deeper and deeper. Naomi Hope, friend who was interviewed previously, went through a crazy transformation in her life. Many crazy transformations. So many. She taught the idea a few years ago of "living alive". We are entitled to down time, sad moments, anxiety, frustration, resentment and many other things, because we're a work in progress until 120. Its critical to change a little bit of our habits, which turns into a lot of bit of our habits, our routines, our boundaries, and we are working now towards living more alive.We certainly don't enjoy the negativity, so why stay in it? Why not make that change? It all boils down to how much we really, truly want to change, and when we really are ready to change, we take that next step forward towards healing.Are you ready to start moving forward?Join us on the Ignite Your Life Retreat by clicking here, https://hopetorecharge.com/retreat, and see how much forward you can go.Thank you for listening to Hope to Recharge!

Margy's father committed suicide and her struggle with his mental health symptoms didn't end with his death. He was a hoarder. Margy, as his only child, was thrust into the role of going through her parents' house after he passed. She was the one who had to hire help and a dumpster and motivate her mother to go through her belongings every single day until the house was cleaned out.Margy provides us insight into the life of a hoarder by talking about her dad. Her father was funny. He was a successful self-employed lawyer and an animal lover. Margy never suspected he might choose to die by suicide. Many hoarders present well to the world with good personal hygiene and success at work and no one would ever know if they didn't go to their house and see (and smell!) the nightmare.What causes a person to become a hoarder? Margy's observations suggest that it's similar to alcoholism. There is an underlying trauma that has not been dealt with, which causes a person to make decisions every day that may not benefit them or their family. When a person hoards their emotional responses to triggers, those feelings manifest in other ways, such as hoarding behavior. Margy is now the CEO of a company called Interview Connections. They work to connect business owners to podcasters so they can get their name out on shows. The way she moved up so quickly in business and brought it to 7 figures is astonishing. She attributes all her success to the hardest project she's ever worked on, cleaning out her parents' home.Thank you for listening to Hope to Recharge!

There's something that you do that you don't love or you don't feel fully in control of. And I think it's no different.” @MargyFeldhuhn @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge“A big part of hoarding is that hoarders don't believe that they deserve better.

Thanksgiving is a holiday that encompasses the idea into a concrete moment, allowing us to reflect on our blessings, recognize them and appreciate them.Simply eating Turkey or celebrating with others will not make the emotion of gratitude last for any meaningful amount of time without taking the time to focus on our blessings and underscores the opportunity in front of us.Although it may be difficult, taking the time to do the critically important work will allow us to reap the rewards of happiness and consistent daily practice will solidify the work done for a lifetime.Thank you for listening to Hope to Recharge!

In this episode, Matana shares the common thread all religions are woven with. Gratitude is an essential gift for harnessing and focusing our innate power and allows us to grow and gift to others.We are innately blessed with the power of gratitude. This gift from G-d allows us to feel our abundance. Although to some it might come easily, the importance of daily recognition of the blessings in our lives, the things we should recognize and appreciate, this tool can transform our mindset to allow true abundance.See the full youtube video here: https://youtu.be/n30FXOn_eogThank you for listening to Hope to Recharge!

You might know someone with mental illness. Maybe it's you; maybe a family member or friend. But it is someone you wish to see get better. You've seen them suffer, even while in treatment. Perhaps you have suffered as well. You wish there was another way for them to find help and hope in the darkness. Chazkeinu was created to offer that additional support to Orthodox Jewish women living with mental illness. The safety and understanding offered by their peer groups has been transformative for not only the women seeking support but also their communities. Today, we speak to its founder about how they are working to end the stigma on mental illness, one woman at a time.Zahava has been on our show twice before (in Episode 13 and Episode 138) talking about her life with bipolar. Today, she joins us with her husband to talk about where their nonprofit has come from and where they are going. The original goal of Chazkeinu was to create a family of (mostly Orthodox Jewish) women who live with mental illness and to remove the shame and stigma they live with because of it. In the last five years, they have grown support groups, added an emergency hotline, and lessened shame for the women, their families, and the entire Orthodox community.They have developed phone, zoom, and in-person confidential support groups and opportunities for weekend gathering. Their work has lessened mental health stigma in the Orthodox community at large by giving women a safe space to talk openly about what they are going through. Peer support has been proven to provide another level of healing that professionals simply cannot offer. “Peer” doesn't mean the women are all the same. Each peer group is full of women of all different ages and experiences.One unique aspect of women's care at Chazkeinu is to support those who support them. Husbands, children, and other family members, friends, and caregivers have access to listening ears and peer groups as they learn how to best care for their loved one with mental illness. Educating and listening to support givers is essential for the improvement of the women's mental state. Guiding support givers to end the stigma in their own minds strengthens the healing journey for themselves and for the loved one they care for.Zahava and her husband cannot (and do not) do it alone. They need more people on their team. There are many reasons they require support. Not only are they continuing their current work and adding new clients to it, they hope to someday have the ability to give a care package to each of their clients and to build a “chill house” in cities across the globe where clients can come and find refuge from the world. They want to be able to organize and run as the growing non-profit that they are, which will require additional staff, tools, and general finances. Zahava and her husband need strong support to be able to care for their clients well. Join them today by sharing their story or donating financially. You can be a part of saving and improving the lives of individual women and of their communities.Thank you for listening to Hope to Recharge!

Joe Brikman joins us to share with us how he has come to thrive, despite adversity. As a boy, he was sexually abused by a female babysitter and at the age of 12, shortly after he told his parents, his father was diagnosed with cancer. Joe was sent off to a boarding school where, no matter his accomplishments, it seemed he could never live up to their strict expectations. This, combined with the flashbacks and issues he was dealing with, made him feel hopeless, and he attempted suicide on his 14th birthday.After repeated negative experiences, Joe adopted a negative outlook on life, himself and his own abilities. He began expecting things to go poorly, and they did. To combat this, Joe went through years of EMDR and other therapies to deal with his trauma, but he still suffers from depression. He has learned ways of predicting and coping with episodes of depression.In every realm of life, mental health, business, relationships or others, the tool to accomplish our goals is consistency. If we put a structure in place when feeling great, follow the plan even when we feel awful. If we feel that we are failing, change our definition of that word. In business, failure isn't not closing a deal. Failure would be, not following through with our plan to make 5 phone calls every day. Failure would be, not being willing to learn from our mistakes. Failure is, not trying something different when what we're doing isn't working. We can't succeed if we give up.If we aren't living authentically, we aren't giving the world what we actually have to offer, and the world will be missing out on who we were really created to be. When I choose my priorities carefully and somebody feels neglected, instead of apologizing to them for not calling them back immediately, I place a positive focus by thanking them for having patience as they wait to hear from me. When an apology is needed for something done that wasn't intentionally malicious, we can find ways to thank that other person, and bring positivity into the situation instead of focusing on the negative and downplaying my good decision.Thank you for listening to Hope to Recharge!

Today's episode is about a very special and difficult topic that is a struggle for me to talk about. When I heard Erin Bagwell share her perspective on her experience with Postpartum Depression (PPD), I knew I had to have her on the show. In this powerful and raw episode, we discuss our own experiences with mental health in early motherhood and what new moms often go through.All emotions are valid in motherhood. People make it seem that joy is the only acceptable option. Motherhood is hard. No one tells pregnant people that it's not all going to be sunshine. It will be stressful. Mothers often feel strong bouts of fear, sorrow, rage, helplessness, loneliness and other difficult emotions. Many struggle to connect with their babies. There is a spoken and unspoken expectation that they will love every minute, leading them to feel that they aren't allowed to be honest and reach out for support. Those with Postpartum Depression often deal with even more serious, threatening feelings such as the desire to kill themselves or their baby.Making your own choices is valid. Neither Erin nor I had a positive experience with breastfeeding. We felt we were expected to do it, but it did not go well. I came to the conclusion that if possible, breast is best, but really, a healthy mom is what's truly best. A Baby needs to be able to bond with Mom, and it is harder to do so when Mom is suffering from extreme anxiety or depression. If breastfeeding is causing that, logic says it is best not to breastfeed.Erin has just released a new film documentary about her journey through Postpartum Depression: Year One. She began creating the film before she even realized she was dealing with PPD. She was mad that no one had warned her how hard motherhood would be, and wanted to personally process what was going on with her and her daughter. It turned into a much bigger project, one that we can all now view and share (free) on social media. If you have dealt with Postpartum Depression, know someone who has, or just need a new perspective about the struggles of early motherhood, you definitely should watch this film.Thank you for listening to Hope to Recharge!

Bob Baker has been my virtual mentor for years. I have never actually met him before, but every morning, I listen to his podcast and let him guide me in speaking affirmations over my life. He is here today to share with us his own journey to embracing affirmations. Positivity had such a huge impact on my own healing, and Bob plays a big part in keeping that going in my daily life.Despite what you might think because of his current gregariousness and big personality, Bob was actually quite shy and insecure as a teen. His junior year of high school, his good friend handed him a book by Wayne Dyre called Your Erroneous Zones. This book opened his eyes to a new world of possibilities. Suddenly, he realized: he could control his own destiny by choosing positive thoughts. He learned that thoughts influence emotions, which influence actions, which influence the direction a life can go. From there, Bob explored meditation, positivity, and spirituality. He saw success in his career and became a coach to other aspiring entertainers. He started a YouTube channel with all kinds of content and found his affirmation videos to be the most popular, so that has become his focus, and he just published a book about it.Bob explained to me why affirmations work. Whatever you allow to be a consistent part of your thinking, that is what you will see in the world. It's like when you get a new car and you start to notice everyone around you who is driving the same type. It wasn't in your consciousness before, so you didn't see it. If you purposely put positivity into your consciousness, you will begin to see it everywhere. That is why you should speak positive words over your day.What do you do when you don't believe anything positive? Is it all a lie? One suggestion is to reword the affirmation so it is true for you. So, instead of saying, “I am a millionaire,” you can change it to, “I am open and receptive to new streams of income coming into my life.” And when you start your day anticipating new ways of making money, you will see the possibilities around you as possible instead of just dismissing them as impossible. Can't figure out how to be grateful? Try saying, “I'm open to the idea of understanding gratitude.” If that's not working for you, either give that affirmation a break and find an easier one, or double down and tell yourself the positive thought repeatedly until you believe it.The most important strategy in having affirmations change your life is consistency. Do them every day. Believe they are possible, even when you can't see how to get there. Don't give up. Keep saying them over your life until they manifest because you have been open to their truth.Through this journey of leading people to positive thinking, Bob has accidentally built an online family full of encouragement for its members who are, for the most part, not receiving positivity from their in-person communities.

In 2010, Debbie DeMarco Bennett learned that she had borderline personality disorder, (BPD) was in and out of psychiatric hospitalizations, frequently threatening suicide, unable to keep a job and her relationships were very hot and very cold. Having grown up in the foster care system and being placed in group homes, she worked with her psychiatrist and therapist at the health organization Kaiser, where she received her diagnosis of BPD. Her psychiatrist introduced her to Dialectical Behavior Therapy, (DBT), and after she enrolled into treatment, she realized that she was not crazy, but rather, was just someone who felt deeply, intensely, and never really learned how to manage, when difficulty surfaced.DBT is a set of skills that helps people who have difficulty regulating their emotions to be able to learn how to do things in ways that allow them to create what is known as a life worth living and learning how to tolerate distress. It comprises different tools to accomplish this, including a large component of mindfulness, and is geared especially for those that have complex trauma and have difficulty regulating their emotionsAfter 2 years, Debbie was technically classified as "in recovery" and continued the process of rebuilding herself. Debbie discusses her early years in Episode 152 found here: https://hopetorecharge.com/episode/borderline-personality-disorder-the-road-to-recovery-debbie-demarco-bennett/ep152-bpd-road-to-recovery/, which is fascinating.She continued attending DBT for another 5 years and was able to maintain her friendship with someone with whom she had been in a relationship for 10 years. As a milestone, they proudly just celebrated their 20 years of friendship. During her years working with DBT, she felt confident in her ability to heal and was certain that she would find the right person, even setting the table for 2 when she'd make dinner alone, thinking how one day, she won't be eating alone. Debbie attributes her ability to effectively communicate to the BPD skills she mastered.While going to DBT groups, taking notes and documenting every word of Dr. Marsha Linehan, knowing that healing comes in community, that sharing and realizing you're not alone and supporting each other, she started a DBT program, despite working a job. Although the initial turnout was low, Debbie pushed forward and as DBT awareness grew, albeit through Selena Gomez and Lady Gaga speaking publicly about it, Debbie started an online platform, Emotionallysensitive.com. Today, there are students in 44 countries ranging in age from 15 to 80. Enrolled students participate in 12 week-long modules with weekly lecture-style classes, zoom workshops that include mindfulness, DBT skills discussions and somatics. Student have access to a variety of additional resource material, receive guidance from the DBT Path Team and connect with other sharing students in a forum supervised with compassion by a moderator, all with privacy, set boundaries, and guidelines.Emotionallysensitive.com doesn't just offer sympathy, empathy and understanding through years of experience. It allows students to share and rebuild using the power of the community and acquire DBT skills for life. It isn't uncommon for new students filled with despair and pain to lash out personally at Debbie, but she often gets apology emails as those students grow and practice their new DBT skills, as time moves on. Debbie often refers partners, parents, siblings and children of those suffering from BPD to psychotherapist Amanda Smith at hopeforbpd.com who runs online groups to help them cope with those stresses and to learn the "language" of BPD.Debbie's intention, is that people who have been suffering with BPD, who have been cast aside, disregarded or feared, or that people just didn't know how to support them, are clearly feeling seen, heard, loved and supported in the community.Is DBT right for you?

In this powerful solo episode, we hear a story of a daughter's disappointment and how her mother makes space for that pain, with love and without judgement. Matana tells us how her daughter so badly wanted to travel abroad for a family wedding but due to covid travel restrictions, was unable to. Like so many facing mild or severe disappointments, regardless of the level of challenge, being there to help another person in pain can be daunting. Simply holding space for them, allows a feeling of empathy to unfold and can help sooth a broken heart. The knowledge that they are not alone can provide comfort and avoid long term trauma by having a guilt free listening ear to help them feel they are not alone in their struggle.Asking a child or loved one what's wrong isn't being invasive. When done in earnest, without judgement or rebuke and when coming from a wellspring of kindness and love, allows them to share their feelings in a safe place, not only creating a long and strong bond of friendship and trust.Most of us yearn for a listening ear not only to empathize but to help relieve the burdon that at times, weigh heavily on us. Role modeling empathy to our children is an excellent method of training the next generation to be kinder humans and ultimately, makes us better too.Thank you for listening to Hope to Recharge!If we are important to you, help us out and Leave us a review on iTunes here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hope-to-recharge/id1464788845It makes a huge difference! —————————————————————————Quotes “We don't have the answers to fix the pain, but one of the greatest gifts God gave us was the gift of empathy, the gift of sympathy, the gift of holding space for somebody else when someone is in pain or in tragedy” @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge “Trauma is from the child feeling pain during childhood and not having support or a safe place to share that pain”  @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge“The only way we can really get rid of the pain is by sitting in it” @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge “I decided that I'm going to listen in order to understand, not in order to respond” @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge “If your child is suffering in silence, just ask them to share with you what is going on without feeling threatened” @MatanaJacobs #HopetoRecharge—————————————————————————Topics Discussed Holding space for other peopleListening to understand, without being threatened by what you might hearListening to understand, without judgingUsing empathy to help others heal—————————————————————————If you need more support in your mental health journey please reach out to us in our private Facebook group.

For the 20th anniversary of 9/11, I had the privilege of interviewing one of the few people who were inside the building and survived the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center in New York City. Ari Schonbrun worked on the 101st floor in the accounts receivables department of a stock market firm. Of their 960 employees in that office, only 302 survived. Most of those who lived were not in the office that day.Listen to hear his incredible story of why he got to work late that day, the events that transpired on the 78th floor, how he got out of the building, what his journey home across the city was like after he escaped, and how his life has changed now since it happened.Today, Ari has pulled out of the corporate world and is now solely focused on motivational speaking, life coaching, and growing his podcast, Whispers and Bricks. http://whispersandbrickspodcast.com The name of his show comes from the idea that God is always trying to guide his children with whispers. He's always there, whispering in our ears, but when we're not willing to listen, he often resorts to hitting us over the head with a brick. Ari sees 9/11 as a brick in his life. And it changed everything.Thank you for listening to Hope to Recharge! If we are important to you, help us out and Leave us a review on iTunes.

We asked Dr. Kobernick to come back (her first episode is here: https://hopetorecharge.com/episode/dialectical-behavior-therapy-dr-chaya-lieba-kobernick/) because I have been getting tons of questions about Radical Acceptance, which is a building block of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I've also noticed that our most popular episodes have been those about BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder) and DBT so, I knew we needed an expert to come in and talk about it some more.Radical acceptance is the most difficult skill to master in DBT. Normally, the best way to go about it is to start with small, immediate problems like burnt food or missing the bus. Once you are able to accept inconveniences like those, you can start working on accepting the more difficult parts of life like trauma or illness.‘Dialectical' means that there are two things in opposition to each other that simultaneously exist. The major dialectic in DBT is acceptance and change. We can both fully accept the way things are right now and work toward changing ourselves and our situation for a better future, but the acceptance part is not done in order to bring about change. It is done for the parts of life that we cannot necessarily change the outcome ourselves, at least not in this very moment, and we need to accept this moment.Everyone experiences pain. It is inevitable. Suffering, however, is not. When we choose to accept our pain, we can experience freedom instead of suffering. Fighting against what's happening and focusing on how unfair and unjust it is only leads to misery. We can be sad about our current situation and grieve loss and still accept that it is reality. You'll know you have accepted a situation when you stop fighting for reality to be different or hiding from what's happening. Radical acceptance is almost never a one-time decision. After you have chosen to accept something in your reality, you will be reminded of the difficulty of it again and again, and you must choose to accept it every time. It should gradually get easier for each problem.To experience less distress, we need to realize that all emotions are welcome and needed in life. They serve different purposes. Happiness or bliss should not be one's goal. A happier life includes every emotion at its proper time. The goal of DBT is to build a life worth living, not to feel only happiness.Dr. Kobernick works with teens who have multiple problems and need the support of full DBT treatment. Teen treatment always includes family members because it is almost impossible for a kid to implement the changes needed in their life without the whole family system cooperating or at least one advocate being in the home with them. She works with the kid alone, the kid with their family, and the family alone in order to provide the best support possible.Thank you for listening to Hope to Recharge!

Two experts in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Drs. Galen and Aguirre, have just released a new book called DBT for Dummies. They are experts in explaining this to average people with no background in psychology. Together, we explore one of the basic tenets of DBT: radical acceptance. I tell clients about this practice all the time, and there's always so many questions about how it works.Dr. Aguirre shares with me his journey of embracing DBT. He was realizing that he would help his friends or himself feel better in different ways than he would help his clients, and the inconsistency didn't make sense. The first day he first experienced DBT mindfulness by observing a raisin in his mouth was eye-opening, and as he explored more, he found DBT provided a logic that he had not found other places. He and his colleagues have been amazed to see the transformation in the lives of young DBT clients who have found no hope or help anywhere else. Kids who were once in constant emotional distress and wanting to die have learned how to cope with suffering. Families have learned how to support them and cope with their struggles themselves.Dr. Galen breaks down the process of radical acceptance for us. It starts with acknowledging the reality of our current moment. Once we can accept the facts about our situation, we can begin to pinpoint what is causing problems and come up with solutions for our pain or take steps toward a goal that we have been too afraid to pursue. Accepting what is means releasing what isn't (usually, a hope, belief, or relationship). This is often quite difficult and leads people to avoid the entire situation rather than embrace and grow from it. Another hiccup is that even after we have accepted something in this moment, we will get triggered into non-acceptance again later by a memory. And when that happens, we must start the process over again. But hopefully, it will be easier after the first time.Almost every person who is learning this concept asks, “But how can I accept that my future is bleak??” That is not what radical acceptance is about. You cannot accept a future that hasn't happened yet. Anything in the future is simply a fictional story. One of the most important ideas to understand is that we can only accept now. We also cannot change the past. We can only accept the present it has led us to. If we're worried about a bleak future, the best thing we can do is live in the present and make choices that will hopefully turn our future towards where we want to go. And if we must tell stories about the future, why not positive ones? Negative stories so often lead to self-fulfilling prophecies of doom.—————————————————————————Connect with Gillian Galen & Blaise AguirreNew book: DBT for Dummies: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1119730120Blaise's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/blaisemd/Gillian's Email: ggalen@partners.orghttps://www.mcleanhospital.org/profile/gillian-galenhttps://www.mcleanhospital.org/profile/blaise-aguirre—————————————————————————Quotes“You can't accept a future that hasn't happened because it hasn't happened.

Two years ago, I talked to Dr. Jen about preparing for crises on this episode. About a year after that, Jen met the love of her life while in the midst of a very sudden, very public breakup. Today, she joins me from their honeymoon to speak about her healing journey.Jen shares how her close friends, family and even her own body had been trying to alert her to the unhealthiness of her romantic relationship, but she had not been willing to listen. Even when her intuition said something was not right, she could not find a logical reason to feel that way, so she stayed. She kept hoping it would turn out like she dreamed. It wasn't until after the relationship ended that she realized most of the problems they were having stemmed from differing core values. It wasn't that either one of them was a good or bad person at the fundamental level.I asked Jen specifically here today to share with us her secret to not blaming the other person in a broken relationship and not focusing on explaining what they did to cause this pain; but rather to own your own story and keep moving towards healing. The most important thing to realize is, “This has nothing to do with me. This is their story. Those were their choices. And now, I get to choose how I respond to them. And I will act within my core values, even if the other person went totally against them.”Jen was also able to recognize that just because one person had made choices that didn't align with her values and had hurt her very deeply didn't mean that everyone in the world would do the same. If she was able to live by her values, that meant that someone else out of 7 billion must be able to live by those values as well. She could find someone different who was actually a good match for her; there was no need to settle for someone who would not connect to her at the core.Jen met her new man dancing at a club at a physical therapy conference. They connected quickly. He has been able to recognize that when she is triggered, it has nothing to do with him. He can focus on supporting her instead of being hurt by her hurt. They are both coming into this relationship knowing that neither of them is perfect, and they need to be willing to work through their frustrating times. Rather than follow conventional wisdom, Jen chose to go into this new relationship with authenticity and honesty. Together, they have quickly bonded and built a business in the midst of a chaotic year.One therapist Jen worked with, encouraged “anger expression”. In an exercise, women were able to acknowledge and express how angry they were feeling and say all the angry words they wished they could say to the person that hurt them. It's not about hurting the other person or getting revenge; it's about releasing and expressing one's emotion. Anger isn't necessarily a bad emotion; it's what we do with it that matters. Bottling it up doesn't help because it is a deep feeling that is there for a reason, and using it to hurt others or focusing on it in a way that drags you down is not good for anyone. The negative energy needs to be released to make space for the positive.Thank you for listening to Hope to Recharge! if we are important to you, help us out and Leave us a review on iTunes.

We had to bring Naomi back because so many of you reached out asking for more from her! She left us with so many questions after our first episode together. If you haven't listened to that episode yet, do!! This one will not make much sense if you don't.Naomi's original motivators to lose weight did not work in the long term. This was partly because they were all about avoiding something negative, not about gaining a positive (“I want to lose weight so I won't be judged by strangers” vs “I want to lose weight so I can run around with my children”). The people surrounding her encouraged her to change focus. She calls these people her “team.” This includes not only her friends, colleagues, and family but also podcasters whom she listens to and authors she reads regularly, but has never met.Naomi has developed many new habits over the last three years. The only way she has been successful in any of them is that she made one small change at a time and committed to being consistent at it for a few weeks before adding anything else. And as she saw the benefits of those commitments, they became easier to stick to because she knows how they positively affect her life and the life of her community.Instead of getting caught up in how hard a practice is to do, she focuses on how good it will be to have accomplished it. Our bodies are capable of more than we often give them credit for. If we don't have a medical condition or disability, there's no reason we can't accomplish the same feats someone else has. Even if you do have limitations, there's often a way around the obstacles. We just have to tell our bodies it is possible. The important thing to remember in all of this is that we always have a choice. We can choose to see what's positive in our situation. We can choose to accomplish our goals. We can choose to step away from negative influences.A powerful practice Naomi implements is declaring her desires as if they have already come to fruition. Every day, she says them to herself in the mirror. If she has a more short-term goal, she will write it out and say it 50 times every day for up to five days until it becomes her reality. So far, she's never done this with something that hasn't happened. It is important to select realistic goals for this practice. Don't set yourself up for failure. Break up huge goals into smaller steps and do this for each one.Everyone's path to health looks different. A positive mindset is essential for whatever goals or desires we are chasing, but the practices, communities, and medical interventions we use to embrace positivity and reach our destinations will differ from person to person. We each must give different methods a chance until we find what leads us to peace and health.Thank you for listening to Hope to Recharge! if we are important to you, help us out and Leave us a review on iTunes.

Have you ever wondered why the person you want to have a relationship with isn't ready, or doesn't seem to be on the same page as you?  We want other people to be ready to make changes at the same time that we are ready.  But that is rarely the case, and we can't make someone else ready for change.     We have to ask the hard question of, are we making someone else a priority over ourselves.  Because we have our own traumas, our own experiences, and our own things that we have to work through and we have to work through those and find joy for ourselves.  We can't expect other people to fill that void and we can't expect others to be seeking out the same things at the same time as us.   Finding joy should be a priority, and if someone or something is distracting from that, we have to examine why we are allowing that person or thing to distract us from the joy we deserve.     --   Topics Discussed:   Are we ready for the relationship we are in? How to deal with someone else not being on the same page as you. Choosing yourself before someone else. Taking a good look at what stage of life you are in. --   Connect with us!

I wanted to talk to you about one of my favorite quotes. “It is easier to build strong children than it is to repair broken men”. What does this mean? How can we support the men in our lives? I work with a lot of women in my practice who are trying to “fix” the man in their life. Although it may feel instinctual, we have to remember that everyone's healing journey is their own and it is not your responsibility. If we know someone who needs help, we need to encourage them to get professional help. Also, one of the best things we can do is to spend our time and energy investing in this next generation by focusing on spending quality time with our children and investing in them.  This is a wrap on season three! We are looking forward to connecting back with you for a powerful new season coming soon.

We are coming to you today to talk about pursuing your dreams. I have been talking to a variety of people over the last couple of weeks and have heard a common theme. They are in a career but do not feel like they are pursuing their passion. Have you ever felt that way? You deeply want to pursue a certain path but feel like you have invested so much time in something else? I want to challenge you today to take a look at your life and be honest with yourself, what is truly your passion? What would you choose to do as a career if there were no barriers? In this episode, I share with you a simple practice that will help you take small steps to make your dream a reality.  Life's too short to work our entire lives and be unhappy. Even if you are just pursuing your passion as a hobby, you might be surprised how implementing just a little of what you love into your day can help your mental health and even slowly move you towards a career you are in love with.  -- Topics Discussed: Rediscovering your passion A simple exercise that will help you write out your vision Encouragement to go the unbeaten path -- Connect with us!

Have you ever wanted to pursue something but were unsure if it was the right time, or if you had what it took? How many times do we allow fear to keep us from going to the next level? Today we are going to talk about doing it scared. I have been on a journey the past several months challenging myself to do things that scare me. I have been using the hashtag #TeamDoItScared on social media and decided to look and see if that name had been established online...it has not. I knew this was an invitation for me to step into this space and create a community around those who are wanting to level up in their life and relationships by doing the things that they have been avoiding.

Being sick is never any fun, it’s miserable.  When you add onto being sick the fact of being single and not having anyone there to help take care of you it can be even harder to get through.  It’s important to realize that when we feel sick we will feel down mentally, and that’s a normal thing.   During those times it’s very important for us to reach out for help. Reaching out for help is not a sign of weakness and often it can be extremely important not just for our physical health, but our mental health as well.  In addition when we are sick we don’t know if things may take a turn for the worse, and if they do it is crucial we have someone available that we have reached out to who knows what we are going through. Talking through or writing down your mental thoughts during this time can be especially beneficial as it helps us process through the loneliness and emotions that we go through during these times. -- Topics Discussed: Reaching out for help. Dealing with sickness on your own. The emotions that come with being sick. -- Connect with us!
