Podcasts about Anxiety

On Day 2, we move from the foundation to The Rest. In our modern world, we treat rest as a luxury, but the Ancient Sumerians saw it as a mechanical necessity for the soul. Today, we step out of the "horizontal" struggle of our Wednesday to-do lists and sink into the "vertical" depth of the present moment. We are learning that you don't have to "earn" your peace; it is the ground upon which you already stand. In today's episode: Ancient Insight: The Sumerian concept of the "Abzu"—the quiet, primordial deep where all life begins. The Emotional Arc: The Rest. Transitioning from "doing" to "being" without guilt. The Anchor: An affirmation to ground yourself. This is day 2 of a 7-day meditation series, "Morning Anxiety Rituals for a Calm Start to Your Day," episodes 3486-3492 THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE -  THE ARTIFACT HUNT Each day, find one physical object in your home that has "weight" and "texture"—a stone, a heavy book, a piece of wood—and hold it for 60 seconds to anchor your senses. THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY Day 1: VISUALIZATION: Ground yourself in peace. Day 2: AFFIRMATION:  "I am the steady ground upon which my life is built." Day 3: EARTH INHALE BREATH Inhale. Inhale for 4, imagining breath rising from the soles of your feet; hold for 4, feeling the weight of your hips; exhale for 8, sighing out the future. Day 4: PRITHVI EARTH MUDRA Touch the tip of the ring finger to the thumb. This encourages stability and physical healing. Day 5: CHAKRA FOCUS: First chake to feel grounded. Color is red. Element is earth Day 6: ANXIETY RELEASE FLOW MEDITATION: Combining the week's techniques Day 7: WEEKLY REVIEW MEDITATION: Closure with a review of the week's highs and lows.

Dave and Bethlie continue their Overcoming Series with part 3 of overcoming anxiety. Do you know someone who struggles with anxiety? Be a blessing to them and send them this series. Reach out and let us know how it has been a blessing in your life and others around you. Decide it is wrong (based on the teaching of Jesus) It is wrong because the past is over and gone Healing is available for everything we face Forgiveness is essential for our wrongs It is wrong because the future is not here yet Nothing can ever be done about the future Only God knows about the future Jesus is teaching that it is wrong to allow tomorrow's problems to tear you apart today It is wrong because only God knows the future It is wrong because it damages today      Today is a gift from God We should handle our emotions wisely so we can fully live for Him today Know the difference between worry and planning Planning is preparing for the future while simultaneously leaving it all in God's hands and trusting God's goodness. Worry does not plan. Anxiety assumes the worst Anxiety presumes to know outcomes Anxiety gives into our feelings rather than make an attempt to overcome them. Anxiety accepts our feelings as the norm of our life. Redirect your concerns Emotions are not wrong They are right when they are used properly according to the commands and principles of God's Word Move into Psalms They show us that emotions are real They show us that life is hard They also show us that truth trumps it all Emotional concern is the God-given ability to mobilize the forces of our bodies and minds to focus upon a problem and solve it. Anxious concern is when we focus on our problems and hang onto them. Literally all the energy is released but has it has nowhere to go  This energy can even eat away at the lining of the stomach This energy leaves us feeling hopeless and helpless This energy often leads us into other issues Depression Social withdrawal  Loss of sexual desire  

In this episode, I reflect on my time leading a cottage at a group home and how stepping into a leadership role challenged my identity, anxiety, and desire to just be the “fun guy.” I unpack the psychological shift from being liked to being responsible, and how consistent structure reduced chaos, stress, and mental overload — ultimately allowing me to lead with both authority and warmth.Why I initially hated being in charge despite caring deeply about the kids and staffThe internal conflict between being the fun, relational leader vs. enforcing rules and boundariesHow anxiety, rumination, and self-doubt intensify in leadership rolesThe realization that structure (being “the law”) creates the conditions for fun and connectionHow consistency and staff alignment helped the environment run itself over timeWhy silence, avoidance, and unclear expectations increase stress for everyoneA key reframe: you may not hate leadership — you may hate unstructured chaosPractical takeaway: clarity, consistency, and support reduce mental load and make leadership sustainableThrive With Leo Coaching: If you want to reduce your psychological pain, regain your purpose and forge your own path, go to www.thrivewithleo.com to begin your journey.If you or anyone you know is considering suicide or self-harm, or is anxious, depressed, upset, or needs to talk, there are people who want to help:In the US: Crisis Text Line: Text CRISIS to 741741 for free, confidential crisis counseling.

What if the reason your hormones feel “off”… has nothing to do with supplements, diets, or doing more and everything to do with what you're not doing daily? In this episode, we break down the five simple but powerful habits that can dramatically improve your hormone health in as little as 90 days. These aren't trendy hacks or complicated protocols. They're foundational lifestyle shifts that most women overlook while chasing faster, flashier solutions. We dive into how your morning routine, movement, and evening habits directly influence cortisol, energy, metabolism, and overall balance. You'll learn why something as simple as morning light exposure can reset your internal clock and why daily movement doesn't have to mean intense workouts to be effective. We also unpack one of the most overlooked disruptors of hormone health: your nighttime routine. From screen exposure to late-night eating, these small habits may be quietly working against your body more than you realize. This episode challenges the idea that you need to do more and instead shows you how to do what actually matters. Because when your lifestyle supports your body, everything starts to work with you instead of against you. If you've been feeling stuck, exhausted, or like your body just isn't responding the way it should, this conversation will give you a clear, practical path forward. Start with one habit, stay consistent, and watch what changes. Because your body isn't broken. It's just waiting for the right inputs.   Time Stamps:   (3:37) Changes In Hormone Health (4:47) #1: Morning Light Exposure (9:17) #2: 20 Minutes of Daily Exercise (14:49) #3: Screens Off 60 Minutes Before Bed (16:58) #4: A Calming Wind Down Routine (20:02) #5: Eating Your Last Meal 4 Hours Before Bed --------------------- Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching --------------------- Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation.  --------------------- Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program --------------------- Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life! --------------------- Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share! --------------------- Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

Fear and anxiety don't just affect how we feel, they shape how we live and the decisions we make. In this message, we explore how cycles of stress and control can lead to regret, and how trying to force outcomes often increases anxiety instead of relieving it.Through the story of Abraham, Sarah, and Hagar, we see a powerful reminder that shortcuts and control are not the answer. Instead, surrender, waiting on God, and obedience from the inside out lead to lasting peace.When you understand that God sees you, knows you, and is working on your behalf, fear begins to lose its power and your life can be guided by trust instead of anxiety.Click here to view the episode transcript.

Happy Sunday! On this last Sunday in March, Palm Sunday, we are culminating our anniversary celebration of six years of the  “And The Church Said” podcast!Dr. Mo has been celebrating six years of God's faithfulness to the work of the podcast! Today, we continue to discuss Dr. Mo's hesitation to do the work of the podcast. She discusses how her hesitation was rooted in social rejection and fear and how she has come to understand her close association with the sufferings of Jesus. Dr. Mo reads from Philippians 3:10 and Luke 22:39-46. She discusses when we anticipate doing the will of God we can experience anxiety and anguish. Especially when we are doing really difficult things. Just like Jesus as He prepared to go to the Cross. Tune in to this episode as we think about how God might be inviting us into fellowship with Him through our sufferings. Information for Dr. Gadson https://www.drmoniquesmithgadson.com/Link to order “Finding Hope in A Dark Place”:https://lexhampress.com/search?query=Finding%20Hope%20in%20a%20Dark%20Place%3A%20Facing%20Loneliness%2C%20Depression%2C%20and%20Anxiety%20with%20the%20Power%20of%20Grace&sortBy=Relevance&limit=30&page=1&ownership=all&geographicAvailability=allhttps://www.amazon.com/Finding-Hope-Dark-Place-Loneliness/dp/1683596358/ref=rvi_sccl_7/138-1785751-1148333?pd_rd_w=decCb&content-id=amzn1.sym.f5690a4d-f2bb-45d9-9d1b-736fee412437&pf_rd_p=f5690a4d-f2bb-45d9-9d1b-736fee412437&pf_rd_r=GMEBCA5ZB54MM98HHN5F&pd_rd_wg=pwctW&pd_rd_r=0cf054c6-aedd-427d-ac2a-563757407228&pd_rd_i=1683596358&psc=1Follow us on social media: https://instagram.com/drmoniquesmithgadson?igshid=1bmt2hei1j6i8Support And The Church Said:Cash App:  https://cash.app/$andthechurchsaid

Fluent Fiction - Danish: Blossoms of Love: A Spring's Tale of Anxiety and Affection Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/da/episode/2026-03-29-07-38-19-da Story Transcript:Da: Foråret havde taget København i sin favn med blomstrende kirsebærtræer og milde briser, og på en lille hyggekafé, Freelancer's Home, fandt mange ro i den travle by.En: Spring had embraced København with blooming cherry trees and gentle breezes, and at a small cozy café, Freelancer's Home, many found peace in the busy city.Da: Med træborde og kunst på væggene, var caféen et tilflugtssted for kreative mennesker og studerende.En: With wooden tables and art on the walls, the café was a refuge for creative people and students.Da: Her, blandt dampen af nylavet kaffe, satte Lars sig ofte, dybt begravet i sine designs.En: Here, amongst the steam of freshly brewed coffee, Lars often sat, deeply immersed in his designs.Da: Freja sad ved siden af ham, bøjet over sine bøger.En: Freja sat beside him, bent over her books.Da: Hun var normalt organiseret og dygtig, men det sidste stykke tid havde hun været plaget af uro og hjerteslag, der dansede hurtigere end normalt.En: She was normally organized and capable, but lately, she had been troubled by restlessness and a heart that danced faster than usual.Da: "Hvordan går det, Freja?"En: "How are you, Freja?"Da: spurgte Lars, mens han forsigtigt placerede sin laptop på bordet.En: asked Lars as he carefully placed his laptop on the table.Da: Freja så op, hendes pande rynket.En: Freja looked up, her brow furrowed.Da: "Åh, det er bare stress.En: "Oh, it's just stress.Da: Eksamenerne nærmer sig, og jeg vil ikke skuffe min familie."En: The exams are approaching, and I don't want to disappoint my family."Da: Lars nikkede forstående.En: Lars nodded understandingly.Da: Han værdsatte Frejas beslutsomhed, men han mærkede, at der var mere sikre på det.En: He appreciated Freja's determination, but he sensed there was more to it.Da: Påsken stod for døren, en tid hvor Danmark emmede af traditioner og familiehygge, men Freja kunne ikke finde ro.En: Easter was approaching, a time when Danmark buzzed with traditions and family coziness, but Freja couldn't find peace.Da: Med dagene der gik, blev Frejas symptomer værre.En: As the days passed, Freja's symptoms worsened.Da: Hun forsøgte at ignorere dem og slugte sin frygt med hver kop kaffe.En: She tried to ignore them and swallowed her fear with each cup of coffee.Da: Lars kunne se bekymringen male sig i hendes ansigt.En: Lars could see the worry painting itself on her face.Da: En eftermiddag, da en særlig kraftig palpitation nærmest fik hende til at tabe pennen, tog Lars hendes hånd.En: One afternoon, when a particularly strong palpitation nearly caused her to drop her pen, Lars took her hand.Da: "Vi skal måske tage til lægen.En: "Maybe we should go to the doctor.Da: Bare for at være sikre," sagde han blidt.En: Just to be sure," he said gently.Da: Freja tøvede, men Lars' varme og faste greb gav hende mod.En: Freja hesitated, but Lars' warm and firm grip gave her courage.Da: "Okay, lad os gå," sagde hun til sidst.En: "Okay, let's go," she finally said.Da: De gik sammen til en nærliggende klinik.En: They went together to a nearby clinic.Da: Forårsvejret blidt mod ansigterne, mens nervøsiteten hang i luften.En: The spring weather was gentle on their faces while nervousness hung in the air.Da: Lars holdt fast i sin beslutning om at være der for hende.En: Lars held firm in his decision to be there for her.Da: På klinikken ventede de, mens Freja stirrede på sine hænder med rastløse fingre.En: At the clinic, they waited as Freja stared at her hands with restless fingers.Da: Da lægen kom ud med resultaterne, åndede Freja lettere op, da han sagde, at symptomerne var forårsaget af angst og ikke noget fysisk alvorligt.En: When the doctor came out with the results, Freja breathed more easily as he said that the symptoms were caused by anxiety and not something physically serious.Da: "Det er vigtigt at tage sig af sig selv, særligt i stressede perioder," rådede lægen.En: "It's important to take care of oneself, especially in stressful times," the doctor advised.Da: Da de forlod klinikken, mærkede Freja en bølge af lettelse.En: As they left the clinic, Freja felt a wave of relief.Da: Hun så på Lars, der smilede beroligende.En: She looked at Lars, who smiled reassuringly.Da: "Tak," sagde hun, taknemlig for hans støtte.En: "Thank you," she said, grateful for his support.Da: "Jeg tror, jeg har været for hård ved mig selv."En: "I think I've been too hard on myself."Da: Lars trak vejret dybt, følte trang til at dele noget, der havde ligget på hans hjerte længe.En: Lars took a deep breath, feeling the urge to share something that had been on his heart for a long time.Da: "Freja, jeg holder meget af dig.En: "Freja, I care a lot about you.Da: Mere end som en ven," sagde han, håbefuldt.En: More than just as a friend," he said, hopefully.Da: Freja rødmede og smilede.En: Freja blushed and smiled.Da: "Jeg har det på samme måde," svarede hun, lettet over endelig at kunne sætte ord på sine følelser.En: "I feel the same way," she replied, relieved to finally put words to her feelings.Da: De gik tilbage til Freelancer's Home, klar til at tackle både eksamener og nye følelser med fornyet energi.En: They walked back to Freelancer's Home, ready to tackle both exams and new feelings with renewed energy.Da: For Freja, var det en påmindelse om, at hendes sundhed skulle sætter front, og for Lars, en sejr i at turde være åben og ærlig.En: For Freja, it was a reminder that her health should come first, and for Lars, a victory in daring to be open and honest.

5 Let your reasonableness[a] be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; 6 do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:5-7, ESV)

Welcome to Day 1. Today, we begin at the Threshold. In our high-speed world, we often live in the "future-tripping" mind—exhausting ourselves with scenarios that haven't happened yet. We are reaching back 5,000 years to the First Civilizations of Sumer to learn how to land our energy and build an internal sanctuary as durable as stone. In today's episode: Ancient Insight: Discover how the first city-builders used the "Now" to create a civilization that lasted millennia. The Protocol: A tactile visualization of the "Clay Tablet of the Mind" to reset your mental scripts. "The future is a thought-form; the only thing real is the ground beneath your feet." This is day 1 of a 7-day meditation series, "Morning Anxiety Rituals for a Calm Start to Your Day," episodes 3486-3492 THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE -  THE ARTIFACT HUNT Each day, find one physical object in your home that has "weight" and "texture"—a stone, a heavy book, a piece of wood—and hold it for 60 seconds to anchor your senses.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 3-26-2026: li> Dr. Dawn announces a UCSF study recruiting participants for psilocybin therapy to help patients cope with chronic low back pain, requiring ages 25-70 with failed prior treatments. A caller preparing for bladder stone surgery asks about avoiding a repeat of severe post-anesthesia disorientation. Dr. Dawn recommends pharmacogenomic testing through 3x4 Genetics to identify slow acetylator status and other detoxification enzyme variants that can guide anesthesiologists toward better drug choices. A clinical trial found that 24 minutes of music with binaural beats—where slightly offset audio in each ear generates synchronized brainwaves—significantly reduced anxiety in medicated patients. Dr. Dawn encourages trying this accessible, low-risk intervention. Chronic noise exposure triggers oxidative stress, inflammation, and endothelial dysfunction, increasing cardiovascular disease risk. Data centers and server farms are emerging noise pollution sources, and Dr. Dawn recommends affordable noise-canceling headphones as a health investment. A Crohn's patient in Switzerland reports alarming neurological symptoms including speech arrest with preserved awareness and transient visual disturbances. He is having trouble finding any Functional Medicine trained physician and Dr. Dawn recommends emailing to info@ifm.org. Furthermore, Dr. Dawn suspects possible seizure activity from brain inflammation and recommends pursuing a sleep-deprived EEG and MRI through a neurology referral. MIT researchers discovered Interlectin-2, a protein that both strengthens the mucus barrier by cross-linking mucins and directly traps and kills pathogens like Salmonella and Shigella. Imbalanced levels may contribute to inflammatory bowel disease. Synthetic versions may be an effective treatment for inflammatory bowel disease. A 33-year-old man survived 48 hours without lungs after flu-triggered bacterial pneumonia caused ARDS and multiple organ failure. Surgeons removed both lungs treat septic shock while ECMO (extracorporeal oxygenation)sustained him until a successful double lung transplant. A meta-analysis of 43 studies involving millions of births found no evidence that acetaminophen use during pregnancy increases autism, ADHD, or intellectual disability risk, contradicting recent political claims.

Food Freedom App - https://studio.com/apps/harriet/freedomfood The pursuit of thinness and body perfection is raging as strongly as ever. With popular podcasts, YouTube, and TikTok influencers delivering extreme food regimes daily; countless people using the skinny jab; AI making online beauty standards even more unachievable; it's no wonder that the average human spends many minutes of each day obsessing over food choices and body proportions. You may not have a full-blown eating disorder fitting neatly into a diagnostic box. But, if you are experiencing high levels of body distress and intense preoccupation around food, then this needs to be taken seriously, as it will be impacting your mood, body image and life. Here are 20 disordered eating behaviours that have become normalised in 2026 daily living. 1. Preoccupation with food and body 2. Anxiety about eating the right foods 3. Always being on and off a regime 4. Intense emotion around food 5. Obsessing about weight, leanness, muscularity, 6. Over-exercising 7. Temptation towards more destructive behaviours 8. Filling up on low calorie foods, Pepsi-max, coffee 9. Googling private skinny jab stores at midnight 10. Obsessing over someone else's food intake 11. Having a whole language around food which is detrimental 12. Thinking that a completely flat stomach is normal 13. Zooming in on other's people eating and weight loss 14. Watching What I Eat in Day as normal entertainment 15. 1200 kcal meal plans 16. Feeling obsessed with sugar due to restriction 17. Not knowing hunger signals anymore 18. Being starving or overly full 19. Feeling cold, tired, weary, sub-optimal 20. Fantasising about weight loss and the dream life it will create What would you add to the list?

Welcome to Hacking Your ADHD. I'm your host, William Curb, and I have ADHD. On this podcast, I dig into the tools, tactics, and best practices to help you work with your ADHD brain. Today I'm joined by Skye Waterson for our research recap series. In this series, we take a look at a single research paper, dive into what it says, how it was conducted, and try to find any practical takeaways. In this episode, we're going to be discussing a paper called "Improvement of Anxiety and ADHD following goal-focused cognitive remediation: a randomized controlled trial." This study investigates goal-focused interventions and looks at whether they can improve executive function and emotional well-being for adults with ADHD. There's not too much to the intro, so let's get into it.

Want to talk about what you hear on this episode? Join us in the Disordered community space:https://disordered.fm/community---In this episode, Josh and Drew tackle a common hurdle in anxiety recovery: what happens when an exposure feels like a "failure" or when you choose to "bail."An exposure is the deliberate act of evoking an anxious response. It is a way to rewire the brain by intentionally lighting up the threat response and practicing response prevention. The goal is to teach your brain that you are safe even when you feel scared, rather than trying to force yourself to feel calm.Many people believe that feeling high levels of anxiety during an exposure means they have failed. This is a misconception. The exposure is designed to make you feel anxious; therefore, feeling those symptoms is exactly what is supposed to happen."Failure" is often a label generated by your Inner Critic based on perfectionist expectations. True growth comes from being willing to experience the discomfort, even if the execution feels "messy".Bailing occurs when the discomfort becomes overwhelming and you choose to retreat. While this can feel like a setback, it is often a signal that you need more self-compassion. We discuss the "punch in the face" moment. That's the the point where the plan goes out the window because the physical sensations or intrusive thoughts become intense.The "Bad Day Playbook": Don't try to make it up on the fly when you're panicked. Have a pre-planned set of actions to take if an exposure doesn't go as intended.Avoid "White-Knuckling": Simply "pushing through" while counting down the seconds to escape is not the same as a willing exposure.The Goal is Willingness: Recovery is about changing your relationship with the anxiety, not eliminating the feeling. Even an "unplanned" exposure—like a sudden intrusive thought or a physical symptom—is an opportunity to practice these principles.Go Through the Peak: If possible, try not to leave the situation at the height of your distress. Leaving on the "back end" of the peak, on your own terms, provides the best learning opportunity for your brain.We also share "Did It Anyway" stories from the community, including a powerful example of navigating health anxiety during a family party.---Struggling with worry and rumination that you feel you can't stop or control? Check out ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Worry and Rumination Explained⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, a two hour pre-recorded workshop produced by Josh and Drew.

In this meeting of The Late Diagnosis Club, Dr Angela Kingdon welcomes Michael Kelly, a late-diagnosed Autistic artist and recent PhD graduate in design whose work explores how art can help us think about thinking.Michael's path to diagnosis began unexpectedly during his wife Susie's autism assessment. After sitting in on several sessions as her carer, the clinician suggested that Michael pursue an assessment as well, leading to his own diagnosis a year later.Together, Angela and Michael explore childhood solitude and special interests, creative practice as a way of understanding the mind, and how art can disrupt the systems that shape our thinking.

Nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses nutrition and menopause, defining menopause as 12 months without a period and noting it can occur naturally or due to surgery/medical procedures. She links declining estrogen to increased cardiometabolic risk, endothelial dysfunction, vascular aging, musculoskeletal pain, and higher risks with early menopause (including cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease, and dementia), and notes many estrogen-modulated conditions are associated with gut dysbiosis. She emphasizes lifestyle—especially nutrition—as key, highlighting anti-inflammatory, minimally processed eating and warning against ultra-processed foods, refined carbs, and excess omega-6. She cites research that high adherence to a Mediterranean diet improves markers like heart rate, lipids, triglycerides, CRP, and overall cardiometabolic risk, and mentions omega-3s lowering triglycerides while modestly raising HDL and LDL. She reviews diet approaches for hot flashes, suggests reducing caffeine, alcohol, sugar, and carbs, notes some women require (bioidentical) HRT, and describes clients improving symptoms with dietary change.

It's impossible to be still and worried at the same time. It's impossible to listen while talking. It's impossible to be calm while everything inside of you is buzzing with worry, doubt, fear, anger, rage, so on and so forth. This meditation aims to help recenter the meditator into the moment by encouraging stillness while listening to the silence. To listen to the silence you need to be still, inside and out. One breath at a time.

Don't Blame Your Parents Or Anyone Else Who are you blaming? The weather? The economy? Your ex-boss? Your trauma? Your parents? In this deeper dive from the FMQ seed "Who or What Is to Blame?", I take you through something powerful: Blame feels like a reason… but it's actually an excuse. And here's the uncomfortable truth: If you stop blaming… what happens to your story? In this episode, I walk you through two simple but life-shifting processes to help you: Let go of resentment and emotional baggage Reclaim your personal power Release blame without denying what happened Stop living at the "effect" side of life Move back to cause — where choice lives We're not denying the past. We're learning from it. And when you learn… you're free. What We Explore Why blame keeps you stuck in victimhood The hidden fear behind letting go of your story The shift from "This happened to me" to "This shaped me" How empowerment feels safer than excuse-making Why your parents were doing the best they could How to stop dragging emotional baggage through life Process #1 – Letting Go of Someone You Blame A short but powerful visualisation to: Thank the person for the lessons Recognise the connection between you Cut the emotional cord Dissolve resentment Reclaim your personal power This works for: Ex-partners Parents Former bosses Friends Anyone you still feel "connected" to emotionally You neutralise the emotional residue… without denying what happened. Process #2 – Releasing Blame Toward Your Parents This one is beautiful. You visualise your parent as a tiny innocent child. Before the beliefs. Before the limitations. Before the behaviours. You see them as they truly began — just like you. And something shifts. Blame dissolves. Understanding appears. Compassion grows. Empowerment returns. Because now you realise: They were doing the best they could with the resources they had. And now… You get to choose differently. The Core Shift Instead of: "This happened to me." You say: "This happened. I learned. And now I choose." That's the difference between living at effect and living at cause. Blame keeps you small. Learning makes you powerful. Responsibility gives you freedom. And here's the kicker… If you let go of blame, you don't lose your story. You gain your future. In This Episode You'll Discover Why blame feels protective (but drains your energy) The emotional cost of carrying resentment How to release anger without suppressing it Why compassion doesn't mean approval The difference between remembering and reliving How empowerment naturally replaces excuse-making Key Takeaway You are not defined by what happened. You are defined by what you decide now. And once the emotional charge dissolves… clarity appears. Confidence grows. Choice returns. No more dragging the past around like a suitcase full of bricks. Just freedom. If This Resonated… Share this episode with someone who: Blames their past Blames their parents Blames their boss Blames themselves Sometimes the people who need it most are the quiet ones holding it all in.

March 26 2026: In today's solo episode, I'm getting into a question I get a lot... my experience with ADHD medication, anxiety meds, and navigating perimenopause. I'm sharing what I've tried, what's worked for me, what hasn't, and what I'm thinking about doing next. If you've been curious about any of these or trying to figure out what might feel right for you, this one's for you.Then, we need to talk about a video I posted over the weekend. My 7-year-old and I were laughing about my extremely bloated belly and he called it a “big fat belly”… and the internet had thoughts. Some people felt it should have been a “teaching moment”... so let's unpack that. I'm sharing my perspective on body talk, intention vs. impact, and why not every single moment needs to turn into a lesson.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Is entrepreneurship making your anxiety worse, or is it actually revealing something deeper about how you work and cope? In this episode, I talk with entrepreneur Chris Brogan and writer Ada Calhoun about the complicated relationship between freelancing, mental health, and the illusion of stability. Chris shares what it's really like to build a career while living with depression, why success and struggle can coexist, and how he's learned to “negotiate” with his mental health instead of letting it define him. Ada also breaks down the emotional and financial realities of freelance life, and the fears many of us carry about money and security.

In this episode of the Celebrate Kids podcast, Dr. Kathy addresses the prevalent issue of anxiety in children and explores innovative methods to support them. Traditional cognitive behavioral therapy has been the go-to approach, but Dr. Kathy considers a new technique known as Childhood Independence Therapy, developed by the nonprofit Let Grow. This therapy focuses on fostering independence in children by encouraging them to take on new challenges on their own, with parental permission but without direct involvement. The discussion highlights the benefits of this approach, including reduced anxiety, increased confidence, and enhanced independence, providing parents with practical strategies to help their children navigate anxiety both now and in the future. Tune in to learn how these methods can serve as a form of preventative medicine for your child's emotional well-being.

If you're stuck in your head, constantly overthinking, replaying thoughts, or trying to “figure it out”… this episode will show you how to stop rumination the right way.Rumination isn't just thinking—it's a compulsion that keeps you trapped in the OCD and anxiety loop. And the more you try to solve it mentally, the worse it gets.

Before we dive in: this episode includes discussion of childhood mental health struggles and discusses suicidal ideation and self harm. Please take care while listening. You're listening to Voices of Your Village, and today we're talking about something that so many autism parents know in their bones but don't always hear said out loud: sometimes what looks like defiance, aggression, or “too much” is actually overwhelm, burnout, anxiety, and a nervous system that cannot keep carrying what the world is asking of it. In this episode, I'm joined by Lisa Candera of The Autism Mom Coach, and we talk honestly about parenting an autistic child through anxiety, OCD, burnout, and big behaviors. We get into the difference between can't and won't, what it looks like when the strategies that used to work stop working, how our own nervous systems shape what happens next, and why support for the parent matters just as much as support for the child. This conversation felt especially powerful to me as the mom of an autistic child, because there is so much nuance here. There is grief, love, exhaustion, advocacy, and so much invisible labor. Lisa brings both lived experience and deep compassion to this conversation, and I think so many parents are going to feel less alone in it. Alright folks, let's dive in.

Have you ever imagined finally being well… and instead of feeling excited, you felt anxious?Have you quietly wondered, “If I get better… who will I be?”Or maybe you've been so deep in chronic illness that it feels safer to stay where you are than to face the unknown future of being healthy again. If you said yes to any of those questions, this episode is for you. Today's episode continues our series exploring the emotional weight of chronic illness. No protocols. No strategies. No fixing. In this series on chronic illness and mental health, I'm sharing the things that anchored me on my journey toward wholeness — even in seasons where I felt like I was making zero progress. The goal is simple: to slow down and talk about the matters of the heart. To sit together for a moment and ask — with who you are right now, not the future healed version of you — how do you tend your heart? How do you find emotional, internal health when chronic illness anxiety is quietly shaping your future? This is for you if you've been sick for months or years. And if you're not sure you'd call yourself chronically ill, but you've been carrying something heavy for a long time, this is for you too. In today's episode, we're diving into:Chronic illness anxiety and fear of the futureThe difference between being impacted by illness and becoming your illnessA powerful journal prompt you can do today to reveal any hidden fears you may have about getting better If you've been doing everything you know how to do and you're still not better, I hope this episode meets you exactly where you are. Not to fix you. Not to promise a breakthrough. But to gently surface something that may be quietly influencing your healing more than you realize. P.S. In this episode, I'll be sharing from my own faith background, because that's where many of these lessons were shaped for me. But these conversations are for anyone who's looking for steadiness, clarity, and courage as they look toward a healthier future. I hope this blesses you.

Working Mom, If You're Struggling with Comparison and Mom Guilt—Listen to This   Do you ever feel like you're falling behind… even when you're doing everything you can to show up for your family, your work, and your faith? Comparison and mom guilt can quietly steal peace from even the most faithful Christian working moms. You may find yourself wondering if you're doing enough, being present enough, or measuring up to what other moms seem to manage with ease. In this episode, we look at what the Bible says about comparison, identity, and the pressure to “keep up.” Scripture reminds us that God never called us to live someone else's assignment. Instead, He invites us to walk faithfully in the work He has prepared specifically for us. If you've been feeling discouraged, stretched thin, or unsure whether you're doing enough as a working mom, this episode will encourage you with biblical truth and a simple mindset shift to help you move forward with greater peace and confidence. You are not behind. You are not less-than. You are walking in a life God intentionally entrusted to you.   WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE • Why comparison often leads to mom guilt • What Scripture says about feeling “not enough” • The difference between conviction and condemnation • How comparison distracts you from your God-given assignment • A simple practice to help you respond to discouraging thoughts with truth • How to find peace as a Christian working mom trying to balance faith, family, and responsibilities KEY BIBLE VERSES Ephesians 2:10 — We are God's handiwork, created for specific good works Romans 8:1 — There is no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus Galatians 1:10 — Living for God's approval rather than people's expectations ENCOURAGEMENT FOR THE CHRISTIAN WORKING MOM Comparison often convinces us that we are behind or not doing enough. But God's Word reminds us that faithfulness is not measured by someone else's pace or priorities. You have been created intentionally, placed in your specific season on purpose, and equipped for the work God has prepared for you. Your life does not need to look like someone else's in order to be meaningful, impactful, or pleasing to God.

Anxiety has become incredibly common. Many people feel constantly on edge—worried about work, relationships, money, the future, or simply the pace of modern life. The usual advice focuses on calming down, reducing stress, or trying to eliminate anxiety altogether. But Dr. John Delony believes that approach misses the point. Anxiety itself is not the real problem—it's a signal. Like a smoke alarm going off in your house, the goal shouldn't be to silence the alarm but to figure out what's causing it. Dr. Delony argues that anxiety often points to deeper issues such as unresolved conflict, unhealthy relationships, lack of boundaries, or living out of alignment with what really matters to you. When you address those underlying issues, anxiety often begins to ease naturally. Dr. John Delony is a mental health and wellness expert, host of The John Delony Show podcast (https://www.ramseysolutions.com/shows/the-dr-john-delony-show), and author of Building a Non-Anxious Life (https://amzn.to/4aabU1G). In our conversation he explains why anxiety may actually be trying to help you—and how listening to that signal can lead to a calmer, more intentional life.
