If you've been coaching for any length of time, you've probably experienced this. A client introduces you as their financial therapist or thanks you for their financial therapy session. It might seem like a compliment, but there's something important we need to address.Money is deeply emotional. When we help clients work through their financial challenges, we're often helping them process feelings like shame, fear, anxiety, and guilt. This emotional component can make our work feel therapeutic, even though we're not providing therapy.But there's an important distinction between what we do as financial coaches and what therapists do. Understanding that difference actually makes us better at our job and helps us serve our clients more effectively.Some coaches feel uncomfortable when clients call them therapists because they worry about overstepping professional boundaries. Others feel flattered and take it as a sign they're providing meaningful support. Both responses make sense, but these moments are actually opportunities.When someone calls you their financial therapist, it's a chance to help them understand what coaching really is and set clear expectations about how you work together. And it's important to be crystal clear about your role and be confident in what you do (and don't do).This isn't about diminishing the support we offer or making our work seem less meaningful. Financial coaching absolutely changes lives. It's about being intentional with our professional boundaries in a way that actually serves our clients better.The coaches who thrive understand when their clients might need something they can't provide, and they see making referrals as professional integrity, not failure. They've learned how to acknowledge the emotional aspects of money while staying firmly within their coaching role.Being clear about the distinction between coaching and counseling doesn't take away from what we do. It actually helps us do it better.Links & Resources:Ultimate Growth GuideJoin the Facebook groupKey Takeaways:Coaching focuses on the present and future while counseling explores the past. This timeline difference shapes everything about how you work with clients.You don't tell clients what to do, you help them discover what they want to do. Financial coaches act as sounding boards, not financial advisors making recommendations.The basic presumption of coaching is that clients are mentally and emotionally ready to receive guidance. They're in a good place to make changes toward their goals.Money is deeply emotional, which makes coaching feel therapeutic even though it's not therapy. Acknowledge the emotions without stepping into a therapeutic role.Making a referral isn't a failure, it's professional integrity. Recognizing when clients need mental health support shows genuine care for their wellbeing.Use it as a teaching moment when clients call you their therapist. Say, “I appreciate that our work feels supportive, though as a coach, my focus is helping you build financial skills.”Include the coaching vs therapy distinction in your onboarding materials. Set appropriate expectations from the start with clear explanations in your welcome packet.
If you've been moving through your days on autopilot and suddenly realize you don't quite feel like you anymore, this episode will gently guide you back to center with real, honest steps that worked for me when I needed them most. If you've ever hit a point where you feel totally disconnected from yourself, you are not alone. I recently found myself there after a super fun but unexpectedly exhausting trip, and I had to intentionally work my way back to feeling like “me.” In this episode, I share five things that helped me recalibrate and start moving forward again. I hope these ideas support you, too, when you feel off track. Action Plan: 1 - Stop and listen: Pay attention to the signals your body and mind are sending before they escalate. 2 - Remove what's misaligned: Say no to the things that feel heavy, even if they're small. 3 - Really, truly rest: Let go of the urge to push and give yourself time to recover. 4 - Offer yourself grace: Reframe negative self-talk with truths and compassion. 5 - Own your energy: Acknowledge your role in your overwhelm so you can choose differently going forward.

Are you afraid of your anger?Anger is the misunderstood arsonist teenager who roams inside each of us wreaking havoc and setting fires. This inner rebel is simultaneously the protector, the vigilante, the protestor, and Ultimate Fighting Champion. It's hot, impulsive, and feels so dangerous.When anger is around, so is judgment. Of others, and especially ourselves. We think anger isn't spiritual. It's low vibe and means we haven't gotten very far on our journey. We're supposed to be better than this...OK, but we're not doing it like that, Family.If anything, our rage is a sacred and holy messenger. An ally. A burly partner with a lot of metaphorical weapons. It is righteous and beautiful and necessary and NORMAL.4 Easy Steps to Engage with Anger (And turn it into your teacher and ally):Acknowledge it. Let it be valid. Anger is not bad, it's just big energy.Feel it somatically. Pause. Breathe. Move with it. Allow it to be there and to be kinetic inside you. Doing this lets your nervous system know that anger is safe to feel.Let it teach you. Ask, “What are you protecting me from? What truth is trying to emerge? What boundaries do I need to enact here?”Channel it consciously. Anger doesn't need to be released AT people or things. It can instead be channeled into boundaries, healing conversations, activism, and as fuel for creative projects and transformation.Anger is the messenger letting you know that SOMETHING IS RISING TO BE HEALED. Plant medicine can be the bridge to accessing repressed anger and learning to relate with it in an empowered way. Where it is your teacher instead of your enemy.
You are not reading the post I had prepared for today.The hot vomit of my pain Attacking the confusion this old gay man feels in the Rainbow tribe of 2025.Written in blind fury.Staggeringly numb. On edge, teetering on the precipice of oblivionUnaware of its grip on my heart.This heart, clenched. These guts, a slithering knot. My presence in this moment; Impossible.The venomous edge stalks like a desperate lover. Full of blame, attack, defiance, rage…He's a gaslighting lover.Insisting my existence is at risk while this body swallows freshly cooked organic food in my cozy condo…He pretends not to be here. Invisibility clever, Void of reflection, Death without renewal.Insisting I am separate from the tribe, From the tribe of humans…Better than, smarter than, Wiser, kinder, gentler…A poisonous muse.Words flew with vigor from my fingertipsCharged with venomRipping open the fear in my soul Spilling blame on those closest to me…For who else can withhold the sustenance I need?I'm on edge.But with eyes open, With heart open,I reluctantly acknowledge This reality is not mine alone.We are ALL on edge.Who in this moment has not been abandoned by their people? Rainbow lovers eating their own, A country no longer protected by law, Workers unable to breath free, Elders forgotten and discarded, Children entering a planet on fire.Today, I will not add more faggots to fuel of the pyre of fear and serperatrion,With embarrassed reluctance, I reach out. Acknowledge the shared pain.I bow to my ancestors, Placed in front of me through the prayers of chosen family.Thank you, father.Thank you, Bill Gerle. “If it's not about love and kindness, it's not a conversation worth having.”I just want to cry. The tears have been many,So many, Each one a blessing. Allowing me to fall apart in the fertile strength of known wisdom.Only love. Only love.

Courses based on doctrine with some social science mixed in Eternal principles and daily principles taught (money, sexuality etc) 5:50 We don't have to convince BYU students that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints values families, but they don't often know why. 8:30 D&C 131 and 132: The Degrees of Glory and importance of eternal families 10:40 The Family: A Proclamation to the World. Quotes document. 11:40 President Oaks Quote: “Our theology begins with Heavenly Parents. Our greatest aspiration is to be like them.” “The purpose of mortal like and the mission of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is to prepare the sons and daughters of God for their eternal destiny- to become like our Heavenly Parents.” 13:35 Divine Identity and Divine Destiny… as children of God 15:45 Mother in Heaven: foundational doctrine 16:35 When speaking to single adults after the foundation has been laid, what do you say next? …Well someday?!? NO! Acknowledge their pain and the issues they face. 17:45 Neil L. Anderson quote: “We will continue to teach the Lord's pattern for families, but now with millions of members and the diversity among those in the church we need to be more thoughtful and sensitive. Our church culture and vernacular are sometimes quite unique. The Primary children are not going to stop singing 'Families can be Together Forever' but when they sing 'I'm so happy when Daddy comes home' or 'With father and mother leading the way…', not all children will be singing about their family.” 20:50 What do we need to know now, to feel joy now? Four overarching principles: No one denied any promised blessing because of something outside of their control YOU are included in the plan of salvation, and because of that inclusion there is hope. Heavenly Father will not abrogate agency. God loves us with a perfect love and will do anything in his power to exalt us. Through the grace of Christ, Heavenly Father can provide solutions to those things outside our control (24:51) 26:04 Quote President Kimball: “We promise you that in as far as eternity is concerned, NO soul will be deprived of rich and high and eternal blessings for anything which they could not help. That the Lord never fails in his promises. Every righteous person will eventually receive ALL to which they are entitled and have not forfeited through any fault of their own.” 28:15 Stay covenant-connected. 28:30 Quote President Nelson: Through no failing of their own “they” deal with the trails of life alone. May we all be reminded that in the Lord's own way and time no blessing will be withheld from his faithful saints. The Lords will judge and reward each individual according to their heartfelt desires as well as deeds.”

We live in a world that offers false hope—success, image, money, status. But when the storms of life come, those things collapse. Matthew 7 reminds us that only those who build their lives on Jesus will stand. He is the only foundation that holds. So, ask yourself: What are you standing on? The world—or the Word? The gospel is simple: Acknowledge your way isn't working. Turn from it. Declare your trust in Jesus. That's the message kids will hear at our True North VBS—and the message we all need.Check out our video version of this episode: https://youtu.be/my8QxlO2q2oSubscribe to our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/8wmeCwBf_zkLearn more about us at chestnutmountain.orgFollow us on Facebook & Instagram @chestnutmtn_Don't forget to subscribe to this podcast, leave a review, and let us know what you think.

Case and Sam are looking back at the earliest episodes of the show! Check out their thoughts on this classic episode when Case sat down with Geoff Moonen and chatted about Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back! Overview Episode dedicated to Kevin Smith's influence following his recent heart attack, underscoring the importance of his work in nerd culture. View Askewniverse detailed as an interconnected film universe that began with Mallrats and culminated in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. Jason Mewes faced significant personal challenges during filming, impacting production due to substance abuse issues. Film characterized as having a weak overall plot with awkward transitions, relying on 'and then' storytelling. Subplot regarding animal rights deemed problematic and outdated, particularly in post-9/11 context. Noted lack of diversity in casting and representation, with a predominantly white male ensemble. Humor criticized for not aging well, featuring outdated jokes and problematic themes reminiscent of early 2000s comedy. Suggested structural improvements include framing devices and varying visual styles to enrich storytelling. Interview with Sam introduced new perspectives while affirming original hosts' critiques of structural flaws in the film. Overall legacy reflects a blend of quotability and cultural relevance, highlighting Kevin Smith's early comedy style compared to current film pacing. Notes Episode Context & Background (00:05 - 07:17) Another Pass at Another Pass podcast episode featuring hosts discussing a previous episode about Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. Episode prompted by Kevin Smith's recent heart attack, wanting to honor his work and influence on nerd culture. 49-minute brisk episode with good audio quality featuring Case Aiken and Jeff Moonan discussing Kevin Smith's filmography. Discussion positioned as 'most meta episodes' - an episode about an episode about a movie that references many other movies. Kevin Smith Universe Analysis (08:40 - 19:26) View Askewniverse explained as interconnected reality starting accidentally with Mallrats, tying together story elements from previous films. Movie served as intended conclusion to the View Askewniverse with Jay and Silent Bob as main characters after being minor characters in Clerks. Jason Mewes struggled with substance issues during filming, drinking heavily while trying to get off drugs, making production difficult. Film positioned as 'greatest disc two of some other movie ever made' - ultimate bonus feature content rather than standalone film. Film Structure & Content Issues (21:58 - 48:37) Movie suffers from awkward transitions and 'and then' storytelling rather than consequential plot progression. Light plot structure with random elements, particularly weak animal rights terrorist subplot that feels dated post-9/11. Racial and gender representation problems - almost exclusively white cast with limited female characters in meaningful roles. Film's humor hasn't aged well with numerous gay jokes, misogynistic elements, and dated comedy style reminiscent of Austin Powers era. Proposed Improvements (24:51 - 42:01) Restructure with framing device - open with Jay and Silent Bob at diner with Suzanne the orangutan, telling story in flashback. Jay as unreliable narrator would allow for cutting awkward transitions and explaining absurd elements as his perspective. Blues Brothers structure suggested - characters piss off everyone along the way, leading to massive chase sequence at climax. Different visual styles for Jay's version vs. Bob's version vs. reality to distinguish narrative perspectives. Kevin Smith's Evolution as Filmmaker (12:18 - 42:01) Smith writes about his current life experiences - Clerks while working retail, Mallrats about studio experience, Chasing Amy about creative ownership. Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back represents Smith dealing with internet trolls and fan expectations in nascent online era. Zack and Miri Make a Porno mentioned as better examination of filmmaking process, with Jason Mewes delivering strong performance. Smith's limitation as visual director acknowledged - focuses on dialogue and character interactions over cinematography. Cultural Context & Legacy (07:17 - 17:45) Film represents early 2000s comedy style with extended gags and slower pacing compared to modern rapid-fire editing. Miramax studio system comparison made to classic Hollywood, allowing for cross-pollination of actors and characters. Movie's quotability exceeds its actual quality as a complete film experience. Clerks cartoon praised as superior Kevin Smith work with only six episodes but high quality content. ️ Sam's Perspective (New Co-host) (58:03 - 01:02:25) Sam agrees with original hosts' assessment - movie is quotable and fun but structurally flawed. Acknowledges problematic elements while noting they're not mean-spirited but reflect era's comedy standards. Harold and Kumar comparison resonates - better execution of similar stoner road trip concept. Kevin Smith's wife's involvement in diamond thief subplot makes misogynistic elements slightly less problematic but still problematic.

As athletes, we all know what pre-race anxiety feels like. The difference between elite athletes and those still finding their stride isn't that they don't experience nervousness—they feel it just as much as we do. But they've learned to frame it differently. Coach Steve Magness says it best: "Elite athletes don't feel less anxiety before competition. They feel the same tight chest, sweaty palms, racing heart, and butterflies that the rest of us do. The difference? They've trained themselves to interpret those sensations differently." This shift—from seeing nervousness as a threat to seeing it as a challenge—is where the magic happens. Research shows that high performers don't experience less stress—they just frame it better. Rather than trying to eliminate that anxious feeling, they embrace it, knowing it's a sign that they're ready to rise. Nerves aren't the enemy. In fact, they're your body's way of saying, “You care. Something meaningful is about to happen.” So, instead of running from it, lean into it. Understand that those nerves are helping you prepare, keeping you sharp, and sharpening your focus. They're not a sign of weakness—they're a sign of strength. We can often think that nervousness means something is wrong or that we're not prepared enough. But the reality is, it means you do care. It means your mind and body are ready for the challenge ahead. The goal isn't to eliminate the nerves, it's to work with them. See them as fuel, not fear. Feel them, acknowledge them, and let them guide you forward. When you feel those pre-race jitters, remind yourself: You're about to do something meaningful. Action item: Next time those race-day nerves hit, don't push them away. Instead, breathe into them. Let them be the signal that you're ready for the challenge. Harness that energy to fuel your focus, and remember, those butterflies are pushing you toward greatness. Ready to learn how to channel that energy? Clear the Mechanism and Rise Above Nervousness before a race can feel overwhelming. But how do you take that energy and channel it into focus instead of letting it distract you? The answer lies in a simple but powerful mindset technique from For the Love of the Game, where Kevin Costner's character, a seasoned pitcher, uses the phrase “Clear the mechanism.” This technique isn't just for baseball—it's something every triathlete can use. When the nerves start to flood your mind, and you feel like you're about to be overwhelmed by the noise, distractions, and pressure, the key is to clear the mechanism. When you clear the mechanism, you're intentionally blocking out everything that isn't directly related to the task at hand. It's like hitting the reset button, shifting your focus from the fear and doubt to the one thing you can control: your next move. Whether it's your swim stroke, your pedal cadence, or your run stride, you zoom in on that one thing and let everything else fade away. Coach Steve Magness reminds us that nerves aren't the enemy—they're a sign that you care, that your body is getting ready. But we can use those nerves to fuel us, not flood us. And just like the pitcher who needs to block out the crowd, the score, and the noise, as a triathlete, you can clear out the mental clutter and focus on what's in front of you. Here's how to apply it: When the nerves hit, take a deep breath, and clear the mechanism. Shut down the distractions, the what-ifs, and the self-doubt. Focus on your next step—the one thing you can control right now. Maybe it's your breath, your form, or the rhythm of your movement. Acknowledge the nerves, then let them guide you forward, not pull you under. By clearing your mental space, you give yourself permission to focus on the task, to be fully present, and to perform at your best. It's not about eliminating the nerves; it's about making them work for you instead of against you. Action item: Before your next race or workout, practice clearing the mechanism. When you feel overwhelmed, mentally shut out everything except for the next task at hand. Clear the mechanism, focus on your breath, and take control of the moment. You've trained for this. Let the nerves fuel your focus and guide you to greatness. TriDot Workout of the Week: Strength Recovery Week Training - Strength Strength training is a crucial yet often overlooked component of triathlon preparation. Exercises like reverse lunges, single-leg deadlifts, and quadruped band kickbacks help build unilateral strength and stability, which are essential for efficient running and injury prevention. Core-focused movements such as plank reaches, V-ups, and half-kneeling rotations enhance balance, posture, and power transfer across all three disciplines. Functional exercises like burpees and cross-pull lawnmowers improve overall athleticism, coordination, and cardiovascular resilience. Together, these movements not only boost muscular endurance and joint integrity but also help triathletes maintain form under fatigue, reduce injury risk, and ultimately perform more consistently across swim, bike, and run segments. Rotate 1-3x through the following exercises doing 10-20 repetitions or 30 to 60 sec efforts of each. Reverse Lunge Single Leg Deadlifts Half-Kneeling Rotation Plank Reaches Cross Pulls Lawnmower Burpees V Ups One leg Quadruped Band Kickbacks Fun Segment: Trail Fail or Win! It's time for Trail Fail or Trail Win! — the game where we throw out some wild off-road triathlon scenarios, and Rich and I decide: was this a total disaster… or a sneaky success in disguise? Some of these could be race-ending nightmares—or just epic stories waiting to happen. Let's find out! Scenario 1: The Wild Animal Detour Mid-race, a deer darts across the trail and you crash while trying to avoid it. You roll into the bushes, get back on your feet, and still finish 3rd in your age group—leaves and twigs in your helmet included. Scenario 2: The Wrong-Turn Bonus Miles You miss a poorly marked turn on the trail run, add nearly 1.5 miles to your race, and come in well over your expected time. But… you didn't quit and still finished smiling. Scenario 3: The Creek Shoe Sacrifice You nail the bike leg and enter the run feeling great… until you sink into a muddy creek crossing and one of your shoes stays behind. You finish the run with one barefoot foot. Scenario 4: Transition Tent Tantrum Your gear bag somehow ends up in someone else's spot. You panic, yell a few expletives, throw your hands up—and then remember your gear is on the other side of the rack. You recover… barely. Scenario 5: The Mid-Race Snack Catastrophe You reach for your trail mix on the bike—your new homemade “clean fuel”—and spill it all over your top tube. The rest of the ride, you're being followed by bees. You still PR the course! So whether you're dodging wildlife, losing shoes in creeks, or baiting bees with your snacks, remember—off-road triathlon isn't just a race. It's an adventure. Keep sending us your crazy scenarios, or better yet—live them. And we'll see you next time on Trail Fail or Win! Closing: Thanks again for listening this week. Please be sure to follow us @303Triathlon and @grit2greatnessendurance and of course go to iTunes and give us a rating and a comment. We'd really appreciate it!

This is the last in a 5-part series I've been doing on unconscious bias. These are made up of episodes 121, 122, 123, 124, and 125. I wanted to share some of the content of my in-person/Zoom three-hour unconscious bias workshop. In Episode 121, I provided an introduction, and in 122, I did most of the background section, in 123 I finished the background and then talked about unconscious bias purpose and description. In 124, I walked through two segments titled “Filters, Lenses, & Worldviews” and also “Types of Biases. Then in this last one I share strategies to help us do better. I also have resources below. I hope you have enjoyed this series! Enjoy the summer.

In this episode, I talk about the idea that we can hold two seemingly opposite truths at the same time - and how that can actually be where our real growth and success as entrepreneurs live. I'm so glad you're here for another mindset-focused episode of Eat Blog Talk. Today, I'm diving into a topic that's been heavy on my heart lately—duality in entrepreneurship. As entrepreneurs, we often think we have to fix our flaws before we can feel successful, but what if it's actually about holding space for both our strengths and imperfections? I'm sharing a story from the Flavor Media Summit that beautifully illustrates how powerful it can be to embrace the “both/and” in ourselves. Action Plan: 1 - Acknowledge duality in your journey: Notice when you're feeling two things at once and give both feelings permission to exist. 2 - Resist the urge to fix yourself first: You don't need to wait until you're fearless or confident to move forward—just start. 3 - Stay present in your imperfections: True success comes from showing up, even when things feel messy or imperfect. 4 - Honor your contradictions: You can be both proud and nervous, grateful and overwhelmed—this is normal and powerful. 5 - Practice naming the dualities: Say them out loud or journal them—“I am both X and Y”—to build resilience and self-compassion.

In this engaging episode of "Shark Theory," host Baylor Barbee discusses the significance of building the right foundation in both personal and professional settings. Reflecting on his marathon training under extreme weather conditions, Baylor draws an analogy between choosing the right running shoes and establishing a strong base of values and principles in life. As he emphasizes the diversity of personal and professional journeys, Baylor shares how finding what matters to each individual is crucial for effective decision-making and sustained success. Baylor Barbee delves into the concept of heat acclimation during physical training, illustrating how each person's journey is unique, with different thresholds for challenge and adversity. He challenges listeners to focus on their own path rather than compare themselves to others. Highlighting the importance of perseverance and self-awareness, Baylor encourages staying true to one's course regardless of external pressures. This episode is packed with motivational insights that resonate with anyone striving to overcome obstacles and achieve their goals in business and life. Key Takeaways: Building a solid foundation based on personal values and principles is crucial for sustained success. Recognize and embrace the unique nature of your journey; avoid comparing yourself to others. Proper tools and preparation, like the right running shoes, can mitigate potential setbacks and improve performance in any venture. Acknowledge that acclimation to new challenges requires time and patience, but persistence is key. Focus on perseverance and commitment to your path, as only you can determine your true capabilities and limits. Notable Quotes: "Your foundation matters so much, right?" "You got to get the basics right, that you get the foundation right." "Can it measure your ability to stick with it when it gets tough?" "You got to run your race, because it may look hopeless." "I know one thing and one thing only. I don't know my acclimation, but I am not going to quit here."
In this empowering and heartfelt episode, Catherine and Karen sit down with Dr. Tara Egan, founder of Egan Counseling & Consulting, to discuss the emotional and practical realities of co-parenting through divorce—especially in high-conflict situations. With over two decades of experience and her own personal journey through divorce, Dr. Egan shares real-world strategies that prioritize peace, protect children, and reduce costly legal and emotional power struggles. Key Takeaways: Parent Coordination: Dr. Egan explains how a Parent Coordinator acts as a neutral party helping parents follow custody agreements and make day-to-day decisions without returning to court—saving time, money, and stress. Nesting Isn't Forever: Nesting (kids stay in the home while parents rotate in/out) can be helpful short-term but rarely works long-term. Stability comes from clear routines and emotionally safe environments—not physical space alone. Kids Need One Healthy Parent: Divorce doesn't "mess up" kids—how parents behave before, during, and after does. Kids thrive with at least one emotionally healthy parent showing up with consistency and compassion. Responding to Financial Blame: When children repeat financial accusations (“Mom took all the money”), avoid defensive responses. Instead, calmly reassure them with facts, warmth, and emotional safety. Set the Tone in Co-Parenting Conversations: Stay out of judgment. Acknowledge that families change and model positive, future-focused communication, even when your co-parent does not. Don't Expect Your Ex to Suddenly Be Different: Your ex won't magically become a more emotionally responsive or financially generous person post-divorce. Accepting that helps reduce your stress and disappointment.

Are you a coach who secretly wonders if you're “doing it right”? You're not alone, and this episode is for you. In this episode we unpack a topic that nearly every coach wrestles with at some point: CONFIDENCE. Whether you're just starting out or years into your practice, it's normal to question yourself, "Am I doing this right?" "Could I be better?" We see it time and again in our training rooms and our own journeys, that shaky moment when you step into the coaching seat and doubt creeps in. In this episode we cover: Confidence is fluid: It changes over time and across clients; uncertainty may stem from the coaching dynamic, not just your ability. Lean on trusted peers: Having another coach to talk to is invaluable, especially when supervision isn't immediately available. Acknowledge competence gaps: Confidence and competence go hand in hand; recognise where you need to grow your skills and take action. Choose aligned training programmes: Confidence flourishes in learning environments that align with your values, energy, and coaching style. Know and own your coaching style: Understanding your natural style helps reduce comparison and builds authentic confidence. Stretch yourself with CPD and variety: Try different coaching formats, durations, and approaches to expand your ability and confidence. Seek intentional feedback: Ask for meaningful, specific feedback to grow in areas where you feel uncertain. This episode is full of lived experience, reassurance, and practical steps. Confidence doesn't arrive all at once, it's grown, session by session, conversation by conversation. If you're feeling unsure or stuck in self-doubt, you're not alone. Confidence is something we build through the work, not before it. Whether you need CPD, supervision, peer support, or just a community of coaches who get it, we're here for you.

Shame in Supervision – Creative Learning During an Academic Break In Episode 342 of the Counselling Tutor Podcast, your hosts Rory Lees-Oakes and Ken Kelly take us through this week's three topics: Firstly in ‘Ethical, Sustainable Practice', we explore the art of apologising as a counsellor - why it matters, how to do it effectively, and how to avoid making it about yourself. Then in ‘Practice Matters', Rory speaks with Dr. Ruth Birkbeck about a powerful and often unspoken topic: shame in supervision. We explore what it looks like, how it can impact both supervision and client work, and what can be done to repair it. And lastly in ‘Student Services', Rory and Ken look at how you can make the most of your academic break with creative learning - offering tips for staying engaged without overwhelming yourself or contaminating your core training. The Art of Apologising as a Counsellor [starts at 03:10 mins] In this section, Rory and Ken explore what makes a meaningful apology in the therapeutic relationship. Key points include: Apologising isn't part of most training, yet it's crucial when a rupture occurs in therapy. A well-placed apology can strengthen the therapeutic relationship and model healthy repair. An apology should focus on the client's experience, not your own discomfort. Avoid justifying your behaviour or offloading guilt onto the client. Principles of a meaningful apology: Clarify your intention – Why are you apologising? Acknowledge the impact – Understand how your action affected the client. Resist the urge to justify – Don't make excuses or shift the focus. Take ownership – Use “I” statements to show accountability. Invite the client's response – Open the door to dialogue. Don't expect forgiveness – That's the client's choice, not your right. Repair the rupture – Explore what can be done to rebuild trust. Tolerate discomfort – Apologising can feel hard, but it's part of ethical practice. Shame in Supervision [starts at 29:12 mins] In this week's Practice Matters, Rory speaks with Dr. Ruth Birkbeck about the impact of shame in supervision. The key points of this discussion include: Shame in supervision can silence supervisees and damage the working alliance. Common causes include: Judging or criticising supervisees' clinical decisions. Idealising supervisees and ignoring their vulnerabilities. Expecting them to know everything, especially in second trainings. Shame often results in withdrawal, silence, and loss of trust. Supervisees may internalise shame and stop bringing important issues to supervision. How to avoid shaming supervisees: Be aware of your own power and possible transference. Stay curious rather than critical. Show your own vulnerability, e.g. by talking about past mistakes. Openly name and repair ruptures if you suspect shame has occurred. Create an attuned, safe supervisory relationship that allows for growth. Shame often arises not from what was said, but from how it was experienced. Creative Learning During an Academic Break [starts at 53:10 mins] In this section, Rory and Ken offer advice on how to use your academic break effectively without overwhelming yourself or stepping outside your core training model. Tips for creative learning: Avoid cross-modality contamination – If you're training in one modality, don't dive deep into others during a break. Focus on areas that are universal and always useful: Counselling skills Personal development Professional ethics Use your break to: Review past material to reinforce what you've already learned. Read ahead if you know the next module topic. Connect with peers through study groups or online communities. Watch live skills demos to see techniques in action. Other ideas: Explore special interest CPD (e.g. grief, young people,
With just days until the release of Hi World, I'm Dad, James Gutman opens up about the journey that inspired his most personal work yet.

Is the true heart of pediatrics found in the connection between practitioner and family?In this powerful episode of Pediatric Meltdown, Dr. Lia Gaggino sits down with physician, educator, and hand-in-hand parenting advocate Dr. Pam Oatis, who brings decades of primary care and hospital experience to the forefront. Together, they explore how listening, humility, and authentic relationships transform patient outcomes far beyond medical treatments alone. From the challenges of working in high-need communities to navigating tense family moments and exploring ethics in end-of-life care, this episode delves into the artistry that makes pediatric medicine so uniquely soul-filling. If you've ever questioned whether technical skill is enough—or wondered what truly heals—this conversation will invite you to see the science of medicine through the eyes of connection and compassion. Don't miss the life-changing insights you'll carry into every patient encounter.Be sure to catch the special announcement in the Takeaways.[0:01 - 07:59] Leaning Into Pediatrics: Beginnings, Inspiration, and Learning From FamiliesUnderstand why primary care pediatrics is infinitely rewarding—not just for the broad medical knowledge it demands, but for the lifelong learning about people, relationships, and cultures it provides.Learn the importance of setting parents at ease through open-ended questions and authentic appreciation, establishing trust and safety from the very first visit.Explore how humility and willingness to learn from families reveal the limitations of one-size-fits-all approaches and fuel long-term, mutually respectful relationships.Hear personal stories illustrating the deep impact of simple listening skills, such as appreciating each parent and seeing profound transformation in both relationships and care outcomes.[08:00 -16:40] The Power of Listening and Cultural Humility in Pediatric CareUncover how being attuned to parents' fears and self-doubt allows physicians to connect deeply, providing reassurance and support that transcends medical advice.Examine situations where cultural differences and past experiences inform parenting approaches, challenging providers to pause, listen, and reflect rather than judge.Appreciate how open, honest dialogue about discipline and race can lead to decades-long partnerships founded on mutual respect and understanding.Acknowledge that the wisdom and resilience of families, when honored, can lead to better outcomes than following protocols alone.[16:41 - 26:01] Human Connection: Biology, Society, and the Foundation of CareInvestigate the deep human need for connection, acknowledging our social wiring and the essential role that physical and emotional closeness play from birth through adulthood.Discover why the medical “team sport” approach leads to improved outcomes—not just for children, but for providers and families navigating medical complexity together.Identify the under-recognized burdens society places on parents and why framing parental challenges as cultural rather than personal failures empower families.Explore how respect, dignity, and honest collaboration form the backbone of effective care—and why accurate patient histories and trusting relationships matter as much as diagnostics.[26:02 - 07:59] From Touch to Teamwork: Bioethics, Palliative Care, and Listening PartnershipsLearn how physical touch is not just diagnostic, but profoundly healing, fostering trust and well-being in children and families.Understand the evolution of bioethics and palliative care as disciplines built on listening, respect, and honoring families' definitions of meaning and...

Episode Overview: In this Q&A episode, Dr. Elizabeth McIngvale & Cali Werner tackle listener-submitted questions about navigating anxiety in everyday life. They discuss practical strategies for managing negativity, overcoming imposter syndrome, finding balance between productivity & rest, coping with current events, & understanding the difference between OCD & preferences. Plus, they offer insights into how parents' anxiety can impact children & how to foster a healthier relationship with discomfort.Key Insights:Balancing Self-Compassion, Grace, & Behavior Change: It's crucial to find the right mix of self-compassion, grace, & behavior change when addressing negativity. Excessive self-compassion can lead to stagnation, while focusing solely on behavior change without self-acceptance can be counterproductive.Reframing Productivity: Relaxation & connection are productive activities. It's essential to evaluate which activities truly drain your energy versus those that fill your tank.Overcoming Imposter Syndrome: Moving through imposter syndrome is key. Acknowledge feelings of inadequacy, but don't let them paralyze you. Embrace new challenges as learning opportunities.Setting Boundaries with Current Events: Limit exposure to news & social media to manage anxiety related to current events. It's okay to set boundaries in conversations with friends & family.OCD is Not a Positive Performance Enhancer: OCD is disruptive & dysfunctional. It doesn't improve performance; it hinders it by consuming mental energy.Anxiety in Parenting: Children are perceptive + sense their parents' anxieties. Open communication + modeling healthy coping mechanisms are vital.Notable Moments & Timestamps:[01:10] Cali shares her anxious moment about adopting two new puppies.[03:20] Elizabeth discusses her anxious moment about negativity during pregnancy.[05:25] Q&A begins with a discussion on managing negative self-perception.[07:51] Addressing guilt + productivity, + the importance of rest.[13:02] Strategies for managing imposter syndrome.[20:17] Exposures for anxiety about something bad happening.[23:19] Managing the need to be hyper-productive.[26:10] Coping with terror related to current events.[29:01] Debunking the myth that OCD enhances performance.[35:19] How parents' anxiety affects children.[43:16] Increasing willingness to tolerate discomfort + start treatment.Call to Action:Submit your questions for future Q&A episodes via our website or social media!

Guest: Tom Wardach Guest Bio: After serving for a few years as an officer in the US Army, I ventured into the business world, and that wasn't even my original plan! After almost 35 years in my current industry, I never thought that I would be in it for that long. And yet after more than 3 decades, here I still am. I have had the capacity to work for some great companies and wonderful teams in sales, personnel, customer service, product, and information management. Key Points: Background and Career Path · Tom attended a military college in South Carolina and served in the Army. Leadership and discipline learned there laid the groundwork for his career. · Transitioned to sales through a connection his wife had with Georgia-Pacific, where he began as an inside salesperson. · Emphasizes the importance of connections, not burning bridges, and seizing opportunities. Military Lessons Applied to Sales · Experience in leading teams in the military helped him lead sales teams. · Military discipline translates well to self-motivation and accountability in sales roles, especially in remote work settings. Egger Wood Products Role · Initially hired for a key account manager role, was later promoted to lead the U.S. sales team as part of a succession plan. · Tasked with building the U.S. sales team essentially from scratch. Building a Sales Team · Before hiring, he and the company identified what traits they were looking for in candidates. · Uses a collaborative approach to hiring, incorporating feedback from other team members and HR. · Emphasizes collaboration, input from colleagues, and a structured onboarding process. Hiring Philosophy · Candidates must have a proven sales background. · Prefers candidates with a short learning curve on the product side due to immediate business needs. · Ideal hires have both sales and some industry familiarity (e.g., OEM experience). · Doesn't hesitate to make quick decisions when it's clear a hire isn't a good fit, unlike companies that wait too long. · Acknowledges the emotional difficulty of letting people go, even when necessary. Sales Team Expectations · Key account managers are expected to both acquire new business and grow existing accounts. · Sales at Egger involve long sales cycles and complex conversions (e.g., product switching or manufacturing changes). · A key priority is expanding Egger's brand presence in the U.S. since its local manufacturing started in 2020.

In today's episode of "Shark Theory," host Baylor Barbee delves into profound life lessons from Paulo Coelho's renowned novel, "The Alchemist." With a metaphor that pits camels against horses, Baylor explores the dangers of pushing oneself to the brink of exhaustion and the importance of recognizing our human limitations. This episode is a wake-up call to reassess the pressures we self-impose and the societal narratives that glamorize relentless endurance. Baylor tackles the often misunderstood concept of strength, urging listeners to move beyond the stoic resilience of a camel and adopt the steady, self-aware approach of a horse. Through his experience in leadership coaching and mental health advocacy, Baylor shares how acknowledging fatigue and seeking help are crucial to personal growth and long-term success. His rich insights are supported by his analogies and real-life examples, like the detrimental effects of rental car treatment on individuals. Key Takeaways: Recognize the detriment of glorifying unyielding endurance; like a camel, this can lead to sudden burnout. True strength lies in understanding your limits and asking for help before reaching exhaustion. Effective leaders identify when their team members are struggling and take proactive steps to offer support. Assess if you are being treated as a replaceable commodity or a valuable asset deserving of care and support. Acknowledge that acknowledging fatigue is not a sign of weakness but a step towards sustainable productivity. Notable Quotes: "Camels are traitorous; they walk thousands of paces and never seem to tire, then suddenly they kneel and die." "We've been taught that it's weak to show that we're tired, that we're struggling, but true strength is asking for help." "If you start to lose your grip, don't you think I want to know that in advance so we can set it down?" "Just because you can do it, doesn't mean you should." "Your thresholds in life are there to help you grow."
What if the most powerful thing you can do as a parent… is let go? Today’s episode dives into one of the most radical and relieving ideas in parenting: trusting your child’s natural development. Drawing on powerful research from McGill University, Dr Justin explores why pushing less can actually lead to more—less stress, more confidence, fewer behavioural issues, and healthier relationships. Learn how to spot the traps of controlling parenting and discover the four key ingredients to raising capable, self-motivated kids—without the pressure. KEY POINTS The Research: A 2008 study by Landry et al. found that parents who trust their children’s natural development feel more competent, enjoy parenting more, and have children with fewer behaviour problems. Trust ≠ Permissive Parenting: It’s not about doing nothing—it’s about guiding without controlling, believing that your child has an innate drive to grow and learn. The Stress Trap of Controlling Parenting: When parents feel responsible for every part of a child’s progress, they become ego-involved. This leads to micro-managing, overstimulation, and undermines the child’s self-motivation. Four Core Practices of Trust-Based Parenting: Explain why – Not just "because I said so" Validate feelings – Acknowledge the struggle without removing limits Offer real choices – Not manipulative options, but genuine autonomy Minimise control – Step back from bribes, threats, and pressure Cultural Insight: Norwegian mums, with more social support, showed higher trust in natural development than Canadian mums—highlighting how systemic pressure affects parenting mindset. Trust Leads to Growth: Kids with trusting parents show better self-regulation, higher intrinsic motivation, and fewer behavioural problems. They trust their own capabilities—because their parents do. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE “The most radical thing you can do as a parent might be to trust your child.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Landry et al. (2008) study on trust in development The Parenting Revolution by Dr Justin Coulson happyfamilies.com.au – Parenting resources and support ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS Stop Comparing Ditch the charts, milestone checklists, and other kids' timelines. Trust your child’s rhythm. Pause Before You Push Ask: “Is this about my child—or my anxiety?” Shift from Director to Facilitator Create opportunities, then step back and let your child take the lead. Use the Four Trust Tools: Give reasons Recognise feelings Offer choices Minimise control Remember the Long Game Development isn’t a race. If you're planting seeds, don’t keep digging them up to see if they’re growing. Just nurture, support—and trust. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
They sleep with you— but won't commit. Wondering why they won't date you seriously? Here's what you need to know if you're stuck in a loop of hoping and waiting. Maybe it's not about you. Maybe it is. They could be committed to casual dating. Maybe they're emotionally unavailable, unskilled for partnership, or lack sufficient attraction. In truth, you may never know. But the reason you're stuck in a painful situation-ship is because you're committed to the dream— and a partner who won't commit. Acknowledge the Reality Accept the Truth Keep the Dream.

Through poetic reflection, Yrsa Daley-Ward helps us embrace the in-between moments, reminding us that the unknown can be the very terrain where real change begins. Settle into Stillness: Find a quiet space, get comfortable, and take a few slow breaths to arrive in the moment. Acknowledge the Unknown: Gently notice and name any uncertainty, confusion, or emotional fog you're feeling without needing to fix it. Welcome the Silence: Allow the silence and stillness to be here, trusting it holds meaning even if it feels uncomfortable. Reflect with Gentle Words: Repeat silently or write: “To love yourself through the darkness is to plant gardens at night.” Feel Your Connection: Remember that many others are also sitting with uncertainty, and you are not alone in this experience. Close with Compassion: Offer yourself kindness through touch or words and affirm that this pause is part of your growth.
