Podcasts about authentic self

Your true self is the authentic, pure essence of who you were before the world taught you to become someone else. Today, I'm talking about what the true self really is and how we can begin reconnecting with it. When we are born, we come in with our true essence. But as we grow up, we begin adapting, changing, and creating a false self so we can feel loved, accepted, safe, and like we belong. Over time, this false self can cover up the truth of who we really are. We may lose touch with what we feel, what we need, what nourishes us, and what helps us feel connected to ourselves. But the good news is that anyone can begin to rediscover and live from their true self. In this episode, I'm sharing five simple ways to reconnect with your true self: getting in touch with your emotions, tuning into your needs, practicing self-care, using breathwork, and journaling. These practices help us slow down, listen inward, and begin claiming the parts of ourselves we may have hidden, forgotten, or pushed away. Key Takeaways The true self is your authentic self, the pure essence of who you were born as The false self develops as we adapt to feel safe, loved, accepted, and like we belong Many of us disconnect from our emotions because we were never taught how to feel them Reconnecting with your emotions helps you access deeper parts of yourself Your needs are different from your wants, and learning to identify them is essential Asking for what you need is part of living from your true self Self-care is not selfish. It is self-loving Practicing self-care supports self-worth and helps you reconnect with who you really are Breathwork can help release stuck emotions and take you deeper into yourself Journaling helps you access your unconscious mind, higher self, and deeper inner wisdom Rediscovering your true self happens through awareness, validation, and small daily practices MORE MICHELLE CHALFANT Website: https://www.michellechalfant.com Membership: The Adult Chair® Collective https://www.michellechalfant.com/collective  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/themichellechalfant Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheMichelleChalfant The Adult Chair® Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/theadultchair YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/Michellechalfant

She recalls always lacking deep bonds growing up due to cultural and religious differences that often excluded her socially. Pokimane explains this fostered a lifetime feeling of never quite belonging, with obligations intensifying that sentiment and loneliness. She shares how bonding online helped, but eventually realized occasional disconnect between fans' desires and her own priorities. Pokimane emphasizes needing self-awareness to reevaluate during burnout, seeking to overlap what she enjoys creating and what her audience craves for sustainable balance.

Mike Campbell, men's coach and author of Unleash Your Alpha, joins Dr. Tara Perry for a candid conversation on why so many outwardly successful men feel stuck, unfulfilled, and disconnected on the inside. Since 2012, Mike has coached more than 3,000 men across New Zealand, Australia, the UK, and the US, helping business owners, leaders, husbands, and fathers become more confident, emotionally grounded, and connected. Mike shares the heartbreak and loss that launched his own inner work, why the "armor" men build to feel safe ends up weakening them, and the deceptively simple practices he uses to help men slow down, face themselves, and reclaim the lives they actually want. The conversation closes with what men wish women understood, the biggest mistakes men make in marriage, and the power of doing this work alongside other men.KEY TAKEAWAYS(01:52) The iceberg beneath the surface — what successful men who "have it all" are silently struggling with, and why Mike has conversations with men that most men have never had(09:00) "A strength turned up too high is a weakness" — how coping mechanisms become armor, and why the thicker the armor, the thinner the skin underneath(12:17) Mike's origin story — a broken engagement, losing his mother to lung cancer, and the soul-searching that took him from personal trainer to men's coach(15:46) The realization that changed his career: men come with a physical want, but underneath it is an emotional need at the identity level(21:38) The "Trojan horse" approach to self-awareness — why Mike starts with simple, cutting questions like "Do you like yourself? Do you like your life?"(27:00) The 15-minute daily practice Mike gives every client — sitting alone with your thoughts, no music, no distractions — and why the discomfort points you in the right direction(29:40) "The thing I say I want, I don't allow" — why men crave space, peace, and ease but fill every moment, and the movie-watching homework that exposes it(32:59) The Lincoln axe analogy — why slowing down to sharpen the axe beats exhausting yourself cutting the tree down with a bread knife(39:01) Life as a million-piece jigsaw puzzle — why clarity and ownership of your own picture make everything more intentional and meaningful(42:40) What men wish women understood — why having their efforts witnessed, acknowledged, and appreciated is fuel(45:23) The biggest marriage mistakes men make — being emotionally inaccessible, or making their partner their therapist — and why men need other men(48:04) Inside "Hunt and Gather" — Mike's back-country initiation experience in New Zealand, and the irreplaceable power of men doing this work together(52:30) Mike's megaphone message to the men of the world: an invitation to come back home to yourselfIf you're ready to take your healing to the next level, schedule your free consultation with Dr. Tara at: calendly.com/consulttara/consult

Ode (@thatsod.e / @thatsod_e) and Mo AKA Kid Licorish (@licorishislegit) open this bonus episode of Black and Snerdy with their mental health check-in segment, joined by Chiquita Johnson. Mo describes managing manic and depressive stretches without health insurance or medication, leaning on years of therapy tools. Chiquita places her mental health at a seven out of ten, naming ongoing work with depression, PTSD, and anxiety after returning to therapy. Ode connects her own difficult stretch to ADHD and trauma responses that surface most in quiet moments. The three then shift into a game called Protag Therapy Session, where they assign mental health diagnoses to beloved television characters.The diagnoses begin with Martin Payne from Martin, played by Martin Lawrence, whom the group examines for antisocial and narcissistic personality traits alongside his relationship with Gina. Attention turns next to Issa Dee from Insecure, played by Issa Rae, with discussion of avoidant and dependent personality patterns, possible ADHD, and her long friendship with Molly. The episode closes on Blanca Rodriguez from Pose, played by MJ Rodriguez, examined through generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety, and PTSD tied to the ballroom community and the HIV/AIDS era. Throughout, they trade commentary on trauma, resilience, and chosen family as reflected in each character's arc.Chronicles of a VirgoYoutube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@Chronicles_of_a_Virgo_podcast⁠IG: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/chronicles_of_a_virgo_podcast⁠FB: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/ChroniclesOfAVirgoPodcast/⁠Tiktok: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@chronicles_of_a_virgo⁠Website: ⁠https://chroniclesofavirgo.wixsite.com/my-site⁠Connect with the Snerdy CrewWatch, Listen, or Sponsor the show: ⁠https://beacons.ai/blackandsnerdy⁠⁠

In this episode of Black and Snerdy, Ode (⁠@thatsod.e⁠ / ⁠@thatsod_e⁠) and Mo AKA Kid Licorish (⁠@licorishislegit⁠) are joined by fellow podcaster and friend of the show Chiquita Johnson (Chronicles of a Virgo Podcast) to share her podcast origin, therapy-driven mission, and recent health and grief struggles that shaped her return. Together, they honor the legacy of Georgie E. Johnson, tracing how Johnson Products Co. and brands like Afrosheen and Just for Me helped shape Black hair care and Black entrepreneurship before being sold to Procter & Gamble. They move into a close look at the Nolan Xavier Wells case while laying out the July Fourth timeline, the family's retention of Ben Crump, the ongoing autopsy, and troubling questions about a lone Black teen among a white friend group that have raised concerns about transparency and racial dynamics. The conversation shifts to viral pool and boat clips showing Black children being taunted, life-jacket failures, and the wider pattern that includes cases like Tamia Horsford. The group also touch on a Stanford study about AI hiring tools that disadvantage Black and Asian applicants, weave in astrology comments and show drops, and surface the tension between topical news and personal vulnerability throughout the episode. Truly an episode worth checking out.

You've asked for advice. You've read the books. You've listened to the podcasts. You've taken the courses. You've sought guidance from people you trust. But at some point, a question begins to emerge: Can I still hear myself beneath all the noise? Many of us spend years looking outside ourselves for answers. We learn to trust experts, authority figures, family members, partners, and even strangers before we trust our own inner knowing. Over time, it becomes harder to tell the difference between our truth and someone else's expectations. In this episode of Cacao Conversations, we're exploring self-trust, intuition, conditioning, and the challenge of hearing your own voice in a world full of opinions. We talk about: -why so many women struggle to trust themselves -the difference between intuition and fear -how conditioning shapes our decisions -why seeking advice can sometimes create more confusion -reconnecting with your inner knowing -self-trust as a daily practice -community, support, and remembering your own wisdom What if the answers you've been searching for aren't outside of you? What if you've simply become disconnected from the voice that has been there all along? If you've been second-guessing yourself, feeling uncertain, or struggling to know what's true for you, this conversation is for you. Because remembering who you are begins with learning to hear yourself again. New episodes of Cacao Conversations drop weekly. Sip. Connect. Awaken. Hey! Thanks for listening!

Doug Noll, trial-attorney-turned-peacemaker and internationally recognized conflict resolution expert, joins Dr. Tara Perry for a powerful conversation on why traditional "active listening" fails, how naming emotions can defuse conflict in under 90 seconds, and what a decade of work inside maximum-security prisons taught him about human nature. Doug shares the martial arts and mediation background that shaped his approach, the neuroscience behind why labeling feelings calms a dysregulated nervous system, and the moment he realized he was going about conflict resolution all wrong — and how fixing it transformed the lives of incarcerated women and power couples alike. The conversation closes with his framework for "listening someone into existence" and why he believes childhood emotional invalidation is at the root of most human conflict.KEY TAKEAWAYS(01:26) From trial lawyer to peacemaker — Doug's 22 years in the courtroom, his path through tai chi and martial arts, and the whitewater rafting trip that changed everything(06:14) The mediation with a divorced couple that led to Doug's breakthrough insight: listen to the emotions, not the words(08:34) The UCLA brain scanning study behind "Putting Feelings into Words" — why naming an emotion calms the amygdala and activates the brain's self-regulation center in about 90 seconds(09:47) Inside Prison of Peace — training incarcerated women and men to become mediators, and the staggering recidivism results: 800+ certified life inmates released, zero reoffenses(14:58) The science of affect vs. emotion — why we're born with only nine basic affects and how childhood shapes our ability to name and process feelings(18:17) Why Doug calls emotional invalidation "the most pervasive and insidious form of child abuse" and its link to violence, addiction, and mental illness(23:05) The story behind Doug's TED Talk concept of "listening someone into existence"(24:44) Why Doug teaches people to ignore the words and tune into the feelings — and how competing narratives turn into unwinnable arguments(28:34) Debunking traditional active listening — the real difference between Carl Rogers' original teaching and the "what I think you're feeling is..." formula that backfires(35:32) A story from a women's maximum-security prison: an incarcerated mother reconnects with her son after 18 years using the skills Doug and his colleague taught her(38:02) Where to find Doug's book Deescalate: How to Calm an Angry Person in 90 Seconds or Less, his upcoming book Empathy Leadership, and how to connect with his workIf you're ready to take your healing to the next level, schedule your free consultation with Dr. Tara at: calendly.com/consulttara/consult

You've spent your life being who everyone needed you to be. The responsible one. The strong one. The caretaker. The helper. The peacemaker. The leader. The healer. But have you ever stopped to ask yourself: Who would I be without all those roles? Many of us become so identified with what we do for others that we lose touch with who we truly are. We become experts at meeting expectations, solving problems, and carrying responsibilities, while quietly disconnecting from ourselves in the process. In this episode of Cacao Conversations, we're exploring the roles we play, the identities we've outgrown, and what it means to remember who we are beneath the conditioning, expectations, and labels. We talk about: how roles can both support and limit us why so many women feel lost even after building a successful life the burden of always being "the strong one" what happens when an identity no longer fits the difference between who you are and what you do self-discovery, authenticity, and living your truth remembering who you are beneath the stories you've been telling yourself What if you're not lost? What if you've simply outgrown the version of yourself you've been carrying? This conversation is an invitation to get curious about who you are beneath the labels, the responsibilities, and the expectations. Because remembering who you are may be the most important journey of all. For an intensive experience of remembering your truth, join us in Florida, Oct 15-18 for our Reclaiming Your Sacred Fire Women's Retreat.

Dr. Pierre Kory, critical care physician and outspoken advocate for reexamining suppressed medical therapies, joins Dr. Tara Perry for a wide-ranging conversation on chlorine dioxide, the barriers facing independent medical research, and his current work on mineral-restored water. Pierre shares the personal stories that first pulled him into the world of chlorine dioxide research, why he believes regulatory bodies have effectively blocked oral and IV studies before they can start, and what he's learned from physicians and healers around the world who've used it in clinical settings. The conversation shifts into his newest project: a theory he calls the Geo Hydrological Shift, exploring how changes in water chemistry may be quietly reshaping soil, agriculture, and human health — and what a mineral-based solution using biotite could mean for restoring water to its original state.KEY TAKEAWAYS(02:36) How Tara's own six-week ear infection led her to chlorine dioxide — and how Pierre was first introduced to the field(19:24) Why IRBs worldwide have effectively banned studies of oral and IV chlorine dioxide, and what it would take for the FDA to change course(21:10) Pierre's optimism about the years ahead and the project he's most excited about right now(21:18) Inside Pierre's new book, From Volcanoes to Vitality — his theory of a "Geo Hydrological Shift" and why water chemistry may be driving declining crop yields(24:47) How biotite mineral extract mimics nature's own water-purifying process, and what "restoring water to its original state" actually means(26:32) Where to follow Pierre's ongoing work and researchIf you're ready to take your healing to the next level, schedule your free consultation with Dr. Tara at: calendly.com/consulttara/consult

Debra now facilitates miracles for people around the world, from eliminating chronic pain without surgery to helping people finally release the emotional roots of physical illness.Debra shares how healing is never one-size-fits-all, why a diagnosis should never become your identity, and how staying present with love — even through cancer, grief, and radical life change — is the most powerful medicine available.KEY TAKEAWAYS00:00:57 Healing avoids surgery when the root is addressed, not just the symptom. 00:10:10 Giving a diagnosis your identity gives it power it was never meant to have. 00:12:16 Some people heal instantly; others heal in divine timing, and both are right. 00:13:29 Talking to your illness with curiosity instead of fear changes your relationship to it. 00:15:33 The brain remembers a state of wellness, and you can use that memory to return to it. 00:36:01 Walking away from every form of security can be the thing that sets you free. 01:05:07 External validation can never make you feel whole — authenticity is the only path there.RESOURCES MENTIONEDArmy for Love (free group healing, first Tuesday of every month, 3 PM Arizona time): https://www.debramartihealer.com/army-for-loveDebra Martin Healer — YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DebraMartinHealerIf you're ready to take your healing to the next level, schedule your free consultation with Dr. Tara at: calendly.com/consulttara/consult

Dr. John Gray, author of Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus and the bestselling relationship author in history, joins Dr. Tara Perry to reveal what's actually happening in your body when love feels hard. With more than 50 million books sold across 50 languages and 40 years of research behind him, John connects the biology of stress hormones directly to the communication breakdowns quietly destroying modern relationships, and shares exactly what men and women can do differently to bring those connections back to life.John also opens up about why independent women are unknowingly producing the hormones that push love away, why men's mirror neurons shut down the moment a woman says "we need to talk," and how small, intentional acts between partners can shift the entire hormonal chemistry of a relationship.KEY TAKEAWAYS02:24 Why women's growing independence has changed relationship dynamics and what it means for their hormonal balance.03:59 The three symptoms that tell you a woman's hormones are out of balance: feeling overwhelmed, resentful, or exhausted.07:44 How stress looks completely opposite in men and women at the hormonal level, and why that explains almost every relationship conflict.09:45 What actually produces estrogen in women — and why it's not massage, it's the anticipation of support.19:11 How successful women can shift from their "male side" back to their female side after a high-performance workday.25:03 Why a man's mirror neurons shut down the moment stress enters the room, and how to talk to him so they stay open.33:47 The 10-minute conversation that drops a woman's stress more effectively than a full therapy session.43:29 The "two hands up" signal John teaches women — and why every man, no exceptions, will respond to it.47:41 What the "spark" in a relationship actually is biologically, and why you can keep producing it at any age.49:45 How women in and beyond menopause can continue producing estradiol naturally using the techniques John teaches.If you're ready to take your healing to the next level, schedule your free consultation with Dr. Tara at: calendly.com/consulttara/consultRESOURCES MENTIONEDMen Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus — For Women Only by Dr. John Gray:Available at marsvenus.comDr. John Gray on YouTube:youtube.com/@JohnGrayMarsVenusHeartMath Institute: heartmath.com

Anhedonia is not a chemical deficiency. It is the protective collapse of an emotional system that has been suppressing for too long. Feeling returns when the survival persona is gently dismantled and the Authentic Self is given permission to feel again.This video walks through what anhedonia actually is, why it usually arrives at the moment your life looks most successful, and why pushing harder is the exact opposite of what your nervous system needs. If you sit through your own life feeling almost nothing, this names what your body is actually doing.Kenny Weiss is the creator of the Worst Day Cycle™, the Authentic Self Cycle™, and the Emotional Authenticity Method™. This teaching maps anhedonia to emotional surgery, dead spots, the survival persona, and the titrated re-entry that brings feeling back online safely.Anhedonia is rarely a chemical deficiency. It is the protective shutdown of an emotional system that has been suppressing for decades. The nervous system pulls the master breaker because feeling anything would force recognition that the constructed adult life was built on not feeling.Anhedonia usually arrives at the moment a person's life looks most successful on paper. The survival persona finally earned everything it was trying to earn, and the body underneath quietly said, we did all of this for love, and the love still has not arrived, so I am turning off the lights.Generic interventions cannot reach anhedonia at the root. Antidepressants take off the edge but do not explain why the lights went out. Forced enjoyment, gratitude journals, and cold plunges ask the system to perform feeling instead of letting it come back online safely on its own pace.The Emotional Authenticity Method™ addresses anhedonia in titrated steps. Its six gentle moves trace the flatness from somatic down-regulation through earliest memory to Feelization, where the body builds a new emotional addiction to being alive instead of to being safe by feeling nothing.Kenny Weiss is a relationship, communication, and childhood trauma recovery specialist and the creator of the Worst Day Cycle™, the Authentic Self Cycle™, and the Emotional Authenticity Method™.

Michael Rix didn't choose music — music chose him. Growing up in Faith Assembly, a cult in rural Indiana that forbade medical treatment, secular music, and nearly any form of outside connection, Michael found his escape in a homemade guitar string stretched across a punishment paddle. Today, he's an eight-instrument musician with over 24 million streams, a residency in Nashville, and a Grand Ole Opry performance to his name. His memoir, From Cult to Country: An Asthmatic's Journey to Find More Air, tells the full story — including watching his infant brother die of untreated meningitis, surviving years of stress-induced asthma without medical care, and the long road to healing that followed.In this episode, Dr. Tara Perry sits down with Michael for a raw and remarkable conversation about what it costs to grow up without permission to be human, how trauma lives in the body long after the circumstances change, and why telling the truth about your story is one of the most powerful things you can do.Key Takeaways:When you're in a cult, you don't know you're in a cult (00:00:35) — Michael describes watching his father transform from a joyful, basketball-playing man into someone cold and controlled — and how noticing that contrast was one of his earliest signs that something was deeply wrong. The teachings of Hobart Freeman's Faith Assembly came in slowly, then all at once.A medical doctor who walked away from medicine (00:02:46) — Michael's father completed his residency as a heart surgeon, then quit the profession after a sermon convinced him that modern medicine was equivalent to witchcraft. Michael unpacks the twisted theology behind it — and what it cost their family when that belief was applied to their children's health.Over 300 deaths, all from treatable conditions (00:07:24) — Faith Assembly members died from dental infections, childhood illnesses, and ailments that penicillin would have resolved. Michael describes the congregation, the prosecutions that eventually followed, and the surreal reality of parents being sentenced to prison for letting their children die while trying to follow God.Stress-induced asthma and the body's way of keeping score (00:14:24) — From age 11 to 14, Michael suffered three-day asthma episodes that left him breathless on the sofa, too sick to move. No inhaler. No emergency room. It wasn't until decades later — after hearing a Nashville minister describe her own identical symptoms — that he understood his asthma was emotionally driven, his nervous system responding to a world it didn't feel safe in.Watching his brother die (00:25:24) — At 14, Michael witnessed his six-month-old brother John die of untreated meningitis. His father prayed over the infant until the final breath. Michael was standing in the living room. This is the moment the episode turns — and the anchor point from which so much of his healing work has since begun.Music as the original medicine (00:29:53) — Long before therapy or coaching, Michael found his way out through songwriting. With headphones, a CD player, and a notebook, he translated his interior world into lyrics. His album I Can See the Sun — 24 million streams — grew directly from those pages. He shares the song titles and the feelings behind them, and reflects on what it meant to finally say what he actually felt.The toxic beliefs trauma leaves behind (00:32:48) — Through a process called SoSo Prayer with a psychologist friend, Michael excavated the beliefs he'd built around his worst experiences: nobody will accept me if they know, better keep this buried, telling the truth will get me rejected. Dr. Tara connects this to the subconscious stories that run below the level of awareness — and explains why those stories often control outcomes long after the original wound has passed.What happened when Michael worked with Dr. Tara (00:34:37) — Michael describes the session: a deeply relaxed state, forgotten memories surfacing, and a palpable shift in the heaviness he'd been carrying for years. Within days, the anxiety he'd long struggled to name had lifted — and opportunities began opening around him in ways he hadn't expected. He describes feeling clear, unblocked, and no longer weighed down by a stress he couldn't locate.Ready to take your own next step?

Harper Steele talks about transitioning and the differences in how she experiences the world as a woman and how the world experiences her.  The differences in parenting, writing, and comedy. Trying to fight off who she really was for years. Her fears of being judged.  How finding her true self saved her life. How road trips are different. How being macho was an odd priority before. How that reflected her comedy. How a teacher started her writing. How the movie “Will & Harper” has affected other transpeople and how she has been mostly accepted by the world and completely accepted by her friends. Her love of thrift stores and vinyl records.  And our mutual love of The Eurovision Song Contest.  Bio: Harper Steele is a comedy writer who launched her career in 1995 at the renowned show "Saturday Night Live." For over thirteen years, she served the show in various capacities, eventually ascending to the position of head writer for four years. This period of her career was marked with a notable achievement, with Steele earning a Primetime Emmy Award in 2002. Following this, her creativity found a new platform at Funny or Die, where she assumed the role of creative director. Steele's writing prowess was not limited to television, as she contributed to the scripts of several films, including "Casa de mi padre," "The Ladies Man," and "Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga." Alongside her writing career, she also served as an executive producer of HBO's "Funny or Die Presents." Her multifaceted career in comedy writing and production was depicted in the 2024 Netflix documentary "Will & Harper," which also explored Steele's gender transition and its impact on her friendship with longtime friend and collaborator Will Ferrell. The documentary "Will & Harper" received critical acclaim, premiering at the 40th Sundance Film Festival in January 2024 and earning a nomination for a People's Choice Award at the Toronto International Film Festival. Steele's comedic and political viewpoints, often referred to as "purple-haired woke," advocate for humor as a catalyst for positive change. Such viewpoints have earned her accolades within her industry circles, with Jimmy Fallon describing Steele as "one of the funniest people I think I've ever met in my lifetime."  Learn more about your ad choices.

How much of who you are is actually you—and how much is what you’ve been taught to be? What if the reason you feel stuck isn’t because you’re lost, but because you’re out of alignment? Who would you be if you stopped trying to do life the “right” way? In this episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi sits down with Human Design expert Jenna Zoe for a deeply eye-opening conversation on authenticity, energy, and self-trust. Jenna breaks down Human Design in the simplest terms—describing it as a “manual” for your energy—and explains how each of us is designed to move through the world differently. From understanding your aura and intuition to recognizing how conditioning pulls you away from your natural self, this conversation offers both clarity and permission. They explore the five energy types, how relationships shift when you honor your design, and why so many of us feel disconnected—not because something is wrong with us, but because we’ve been living against our nature. In this episode, you’ll learn: What Human Design actually is and how it acts as a guide to your authentic self The five energy types and how each one is meant to operate in the world Why trusting your intuition (your “authority”) changes everything How conditioning pulls you away from your natural energy Why burnout, frustration, or bitterness may be signs you’re out of alignment How relationships improve when you stop trying to change each other Why being your authentic self makes you more magnetic—not less Simple ways to start reconnecting with your true nature today This episode is a powerful reminder that you’re not here to become someone else—you’re here to return to who you’ve always been.

Self-hate is not a personal feeling. It is the absorbed internal voice of a critical caregiver, mistaken for the self's own thought. You have been arguing with the wrong narrator for thirty years.This video walks through what self-hate actually is, why it has resisted every affirmation and every gratitude journal, and how the voice in your head was installed by a childhood caregiver before you had words to question it. If you have been trying to be kinder to yourself and the voice still wins, this names the speaker.Kenny Weiss is the creator of the Worst Day Cycle™, the Authentic Self Cycle™, and the Emotional Authenticity Method™. This teaching maps self-hate to the Three Internal Voices, the Shame-Based Child, the emotional download, and the survival persona that has been running on a caregiver's recording.Self-hate is not a personal feeling. It is the absorbed voice of a critical childhood caregiver, mistaken for the self's own thought. The voice was installed during the theta brainwave state of the first seven years and has been running in the first person ever since.Three voices live inside every adult, the Hurt Inner Child who is still longing, the Shame-Based Child who relays the caregiver's cruel definitions in the first person, and the Authentic Adult who knows underneath it all that something is off. When a person says I hate myself, it is almost never the Authentic Adult speaking.Affirmations, gratitude journals, and self-compassion practices cannot reach self-hate because they speak to the voice without questioning the source. A person cannot heal a voice they still think is theirs. They can only heal a voice they finally hear as not theirs.The Emotional Authenticity Method™ addresses self-hate at the speaker level. Its six steps trace the voice from somatic down-regulation through earliest memory to Feelization, where the body builds a new emotional addiction to the Authentic Self instead of to the inherited narrator.Kenny Weiss is a relationship, communication, and childhood trauma recovery specialist and the creator of the Worst Day Cycle™, the Authentic Self Cycle™, and the Emotional Authenticity Method™.

If you've been chasing success, achievement, confidence, or fulfillment believing that once you finally get there, you'll feel enough—this episode is for you. I'm exploring the invisible force that drives so much of our fear, self-doubt, anxiety, and striving, and why the discomfort you experience is rarely about the circumstance itself. We'll unpack how the Inner Critic attaches meaning to failure, rejection, and uncertainty, why so many people stay trapped pursuing goals that never truly satisfy them, and what changes when you begin creating your life from your Authentic Self instead of from fear. I also share why fulfillment isn't something waiting for you on the other side of achievement—it's an energy you must learn to access now. ✨ Tune in to learn how to uncover the hidden stories shaping your experience, expand your capacity for uncertainty and discomfort, and stop waiting for life to give you permission to feel confident, worthy, fulfilled, and free.   Your weekly reflection questions: What outcome am I afraid of, and what do I believe it would mean about me if it happened? Where in my life am I waiting for an achievement or circumstance to give me permission to feel enough? How would I think, act, and show up today if I were operating from my Authentic Self instead of my Inner Critic?  

Resentment is not unresolved anger toward another person. It is the rage of the abandoned self toward the survival persona that did the abandoning. Every line item on the receipt is a moment you said yes when your body said no.This video walks through the real psychology behind resentment and why you have been handing the bill to the wrong person. If you are the over-functioning partner who has done everything and still feels invisible, this names the self-abandonment wound running underneath every silent yes.Kenny Weiss is the creator of the Worst Day Cycle™, the Authentic Self Cycle™, and the Emotional Authenticity Method™. This teaching maps resentment to the survival persona, the disempowered codependent, projection, and the caretaking versus caregiving distinction.Resentment is rarely about the other person. It is the body's accounting system, a precise record of every moment a person abandoned themselves to keep the peace. Childhood taught the brilliant child that anger was a weapon used against them or something to be swallowed.The disempowered survival persona will not let a person direct anger inward. So it moves the rage one seat over and projects it onto the partner. Being angry at the partner feels survivable. Being angry at the self who keeps saying yes does not.Caretaking and caregiving are not the same. Caretaking carries an invisible invoice the partner never agreed to pay. The caretaker gives from emptiness and keeps a quiet score. Caregiving gives from wholeness and does not need a receipt.The Emotional Authenticity Method™ addresses resentment at the blueprint level. Its six steps trace the feeling from somatic down-regulation through earliest memory to Feelization, where the body builds a new emotional addiction to the Authentic Self instead of the silent martyr role.Kenny Weiss is a relationship, communication, and childhood trauma recovery specialist and the creator of the Worst Day Cycle™, the Authentic Self Cycle™, and the Emotional Authenticity Method™.

Dr. Liz Graves didn't set out to become a doctor. She discovered chiropractic as a patient, fell in love with its foundational philosophy that the body heals from the inside out, and built a career around that principle. Today, as the founder of Back 2 Real Food, she helps people restore their metabolic health through food, cyclic nutrition strategies, and targeted amino acid therapy — without relying on willpower, calorie restriction alone, or one-size-fits-all dieting.In this episode, Dr. Tara Perry sits down with Dr. Graves for a wide-ranging conversation on why so many people are doing "everything right" and still can't lose weight, what the modern food system is doing to our metabolism, and the counterintuitive strategies that actually work.Key Takeaways:The real reason diets stop working (00:07:00) — Every time you diet without recovery, your body adapts to living on less, slowing your metabolism over time. Dr. Graves explains her cyclic approach: a structured window of fat loss followed by a deliberate high-calorie phase that trains the body to metabolize more, not less.Seed oils are the #1 offender in your diet (00:16:44) — Vegetable, canola, sunflower, and safflower oils disrupt cell walls, cause inflammation at the cellular level, and impair mitochondrial function. Removing them is the first and fastest win Dr. Graves makes with every new client.Three foods worth adding right now (00:19:41) — Healthy natural fats (animal fats, olive oil, coconut oil), quality mineral-rich sea salt, and more whole foods without a label. Small additions that compound into meaningful change.Know your farmer (00:21:49) — Pesticide load, not the food itself, is driving the explosion in leaky gut, celiac, and autoimmune conditions. Dr. Graves recommends the Weston A. Price Foundation as a starting point for finding local farmers and co-ops, and makes the case that buying direct is often cheaper than buying organic at a grocery store.Targeted amino acid therapy changed everything (00:26:56) — Most people have never worked with a practitioner who assesses neurotransmitter imbalances and uses amino acids to correct them. Dr. Graves explains how depleted GABA, serotonin, and dopamine pathways fuel emotional eating, overwhelm, and burnout — and how replenishing them through targeted therapy gives people the neurological resilience to stay on course.Cortisol, stress, and weight retention (00:32:41) — Chronic low-grade stress (email, notifications, relentless demands) keeps the body in protective mode, holding weight and suppressing metabolic function. Dr. Graves connects the modern stress environment to the ancestral body we're still living in, and explains why supporting the brain matters as much as fixing the food.Body composition over the scale (00:58:06) — Dr. Graves uses body composition testing (muscle, fat, water, bone) rather than BMI or scale weight to track real progress. She shares the story of a five-foot-one woman with 105 pounds of muscle who technically "should" weigh 100 pounds — and why that framing is misleading and discouraging.What results actually look like (00:47:24) — On Dr. Graves' six-week protocol, most people lose about 10 pounds and drop one clothing size. On the nine-week plan, 15 to 30 pounds and two clothing sizes. She describes it as achieving six to nine months of focused progress in six to nine weeks — structured and demanding while you're in it, but consistently described as the easiest thing clients ever did when they look back.Ready to take your own next step?Visit calendly.com/consulttara/consult to book your free customized consultation with Dr. Tara Perry and get your GPS map — the coordinates for where you are now and where you want to go.

A situationship is not a modern dating phenomenon. It is the perfect adult re-creation of an inconsistent childhood attachment, where intermittent emotional reward becomes the only way the nervous system recognizes love.This video walks through the real psychology behind situationships and the childhood blueprint living underneath both partners. If you keep ending up with people who almost commit and never quite do, this names the intermittent reinforcement wound from childhood that is running the chase.Kenny Weiss is the creator of the Worst Day Cycle™, the Authentic Self Cycle™, and the Emotional Authenticity Method™. This teaching maps situationships to the survival persona, the love addict and love avoidant dynamic, trauma chemistry, and blueprint collision in relationships.A situationship is rarely a modern dating problem. It is the adult expression of intermittent childhood reinforcement, the same variable-ratio reward schedule casinos use to keep gamblers at slot machines. When a child receives warmth at random intervals, the brain learns to chase rather than rest.The person who stays in a situationship is almost always running an anxious-attached wound, reaching for the inconsistent parent through an inconsistent adult. The person who will not commit is almost always running a fearful-avoidant wound, protecting against the engulfing parent by leaving before being absorbed.Trauma chemistry is not love, it is wound recognition. A nervous system that learned love as adrenaline cannot taste safety as love. A consistent partner feels boring, like there is no spark, because a body calibrated to chaos misreads peace as absence.The Emotional Authenticity Method™ addresses the situationship pattern at the blueprint level. Its six steps trace the chase feeling from somatic down-regulation through earliest memory to Feelization, where the body builds a new emotional addiction to the Authentic Self instead of to the next text.Kenny Weiss is a relationship, communication, and childhood trauma recovery specialist and the creator of the Worst Day Cycle™, the Authentic Self Cycle™, and the Emotional Authenticity Method™.

We are tired of performing. We want to be our authentic selves. We want to have boundaries. But I see and have experienced two challenges. You finally just let it all hang out and tell everyone how you really feel and let the chips of dissension fall where they will. Or, you just fold at the critical moment and feel it's easier just to perform and appease people. Is there another option? Most of you will be aware of Mindvalley, and have likely participated with them. They have become one of the most popular personal development platforms on the planet. My guest in this episode is Mindvalley co-founder, Kristina Mänd-Lakhiani. Kristina is an entrepreneur, writer, international speaker, artist, and philanthropist. She is also someone who spent much of her life striving to please others, but she now cites that you won't find peace being even 95% honest and authentic if you're still 5% fake or performing. But we also want to accommodate others as much as we can. She writes about this in her book, Becoming Flawesome: The Key to Living An Imperfectly Authentic Life, and we dig into the issue here in this episode. We also candidly discuss the dark side of personal growth and how it can feed our insecurities, which coming from the co-founder of Mindvalley, I feel is a big disclosure.

If you've been doing all the "right" things to grow, heal, or change your life—but still find yourself trapped in the same fears, doubts, or emotional patterns—this episode is for you. I'm exploring why changing your thoughts alone doesn't create lasting freedom, and why so many people stay stuck trying to improve an identity they've never stopped to question. We'll unpack how the Inner Critic identity is formed through conditioning, why your mind clings to familiar beliefs and patterns, and what begins to shift when you stop identifying with your thoughts, emotions, and personality as the truth of who you are. I also share why real transformation doesn't come from becoming a better version of yourself—but from discovering what exists beyond the identity you've been trying to fix. ✨ Tune in to learn how to observe your thoughts instead of becoming them, loosen the grip of conditioned identity patterns, and begin experiencing life from the awareness of your Authentic Self instead of the limitations of your conditioned mind.   Your weekly reflection questions: What parts of my identity have I assumed are "just who I am"? What changes when I notice my thoughts instead of believing I am my thoughts? Where in my life am I still trying to fix an identity I may not actually be?

A behavioral scientist with a doctorate, publishing research on the Great Barrier Reef, working alongside world-class scientists for the Australian government — and yet something was quietly draining out of him. In this conversation with Dr. Tara Perry, Jeremy shares how he learned to hear the difference between the heart whisper and the fear shout, why he walked away from a prestigious career to buy a van and wander through America, and what it actually means to live in integrity when the outside of your life looks perfect.In this episode, you'll discover:Why high achievers often feel the deepest emptiness — and what that signal is really pointing toThe "worst case scenario" mindset shift that gave Jeremy the courage to walk away from his PhD careerWhat "heart whispers vs. fear shouts" means and how to tell the two apart in your own lifeHow Jeremy's side project, Long Distance Love Bombs, grew from internet posts into a global coaching and speaking brandWhy chasing happiness at all costs may actually be the thing keeping you stuckThe power of wholeness over happiness — and why shadow, contrast, and difficulty are what give life its depthWhat becoming a father taught Jeremy about presence, feeling deeply, and what it means to truly arriveResources & Links Mentioned:Long Distance Love Bombs website: longdistancelovebombs.comDr. Jeremy Goldberg on Instagram: @longdistancelovebombsJeremy's book: It'll Be Okay and You Will Be TooBook a free intro coaching call with Jeremy at longdistancelovebombs.comReady to take your own next step?Visit calendly.com/consulttara/consult to book your free customized consultation with Dr. Tara Perry and get your GPS map — the coordinates for where you are now and where you want to go.

Weaponized incompetence is not manipulation and not laziness. It is the adult expression of a childhood survival strategy where deliberate failure protected the child from engulfment or punishment for being capable.This video walks through the real psychology behind weaponized incompetence and the childhood blueprint living underneath both partners. The over-functioner is running a parentification wound. The strategically incompetent partner is running an engulfment and shame-of-competence wound.Kenny Weiss is the creator of the Worst Day Cycle™, the Authentic Self Cycle™, and the Emotional Authenticity Method™. This teaching maps weaponized incompetence to survival personas, parentification, and blueprint collision.Weaponized incompetence in marriage is rarely manipulation. Deliberate failure traces to a childhood where the child's competence was punished by a controlling parent or absorbed by an engulfing parent. Strategic helplessness became the only way to keep a small zone of self.The over-functioning partner is almost always running a parentification wound. The easy child, the responsible one, the little adult who managed mom's moods learned that worth equaled usefulness and that stopping would collapse the family.The over-functioner and the strategically incompetent partner form a blueprint collision. Her competence keeps him incompetent. His incompetence keeps her competent. The fight is not about chores.The Emotional Authenticity Method™ addresses weaponized incompetence at the blueprint level. Its six steps move from somatic down-regulation through earliest memory tracing to Feelization, which builds a new emotional addiction to the Authentic Self instead of the survival role.Kenny Weiss is a relationship, communication, and childhood trauma recovery specialist and the creator of the Worst Day Cycle™, the Authentic Self Cycle™, and the Emotional Authenticity Method™. He is the author of Your Journey To Success and Your Journey To Being Yourself.TOPICS COVERED: weaponized incompetence, weaponized incompetence in marriage, strategic helplessness, mental load, emotional labor, over-functioning partner, parentification, engulfment, codependence, Worst Day Cycle, Authentic Self Cycle, Emotional Authenticity Method, Kenny Weiss, childhood blueprint, survival persona, blueprint collision0:00 — The Pattern Nobody Names Correctly1:30 — Why Calling It Manipulation Misses Everything3:00 — The Childhood Blueprint Behind Strategic Failure5:30 — Parentification and the Over-Functioning Partner8:00 — How the Worst Day Cycle Locks Both Sides In11:30 — Why Couples Therapy Cannot Reach This13:00 — Blueprint Collision and the Ghost in the Fight15:00 — The Authentic Self Cycle Inside This One Issue17:30 — The Emotional Authenticity Method as the Rewire20:30 — Identity Close

The Practice of Discovering Your Authentic Self

If you've been doing all the "right" things to grow, heal, or change your life—but still find yourself stuck in the same fears or emotional patterns—this episode is for you. I'm unpacking why your brain stays attached to old identities and familiar patterns, even when they're limiting your growth. We'll explore how the Inner Critic thrives on fear, hustle, and hypervigilance, why childhood survival strategies still shape your adult life, and how real transformation happens when you learn to separate from those conditioned patterns in real time. I also share why discomfort may actually be a sign that your growth is working. ✨ ✨ Tune in to learn how to retrain your nervous system toward possibility instead of danger, recognize the patterns that no longer belong to you, and begin leading your life from your Authentic Self instead of your past conditioning.   Your weekly reflection questions: What old survival pattern in your life still feels familiar, even though it's limiting your growth? Where are you interpreting discomfort as failure instead of evidence of transformation? What part of your identity is your current season of life asking you to leave behind?  

Have you ever sat across from someone and just known they weren't being real with you? Something felt off — the words sounded right, but your spirit sensed a disconnect. That's because human beings are remarkably sensitive to authenticity. We can detect the gap between what someone says and who they really are. And the opposite is just as true: when someone speaks from a genuinely honest place, trust flows naturally.Read more here.Support the show

Dr. Christine Bishara, gut health physician, founder of From Within Medical in New York City, and author of The Gut Revolution, joins Dr. Tara Perry for a live Q&A exploring the science of the gut-brain connection and what most people are getting wrong about healing from the inside out.Dr. Bishara draws on her personal journey, losing over 70 pounds as a teenager through food, intermittent fasting, and microbiome science before most of the research even existed, to lay out a practical, back-to-basics framework for optimizing mood, metabolism, and immunity through the gut.KEY TAKEAWAYS00:00 The conscious mind processes 30 bits of information per second. The subconscious processes 40 million. Lasting healing requires reaching the elephant, not just the rider.07:39 Most Americans are eating in a way that keeps their gut in digestion mode around the clock, leaving no time for immune function or neurotransmitter production.10:04 Inflammation begins in the mouth. Oral microbiome imbalances can deposit arterial plaque directly into the heart.15:34 Serotonin requires tryptophan, an amino acid the body cannot make on its own. Mood disorders are often a nutrient deficiency problem, not just a chemistry problem.22:15 Acetylcholine controls the speed of neuronal communication. Brain fog and sluggish thinking are often tied to low healthy fat intake, not willpower.29:25 Chronic cortisol elevation keeps the body in fat storage mode. It is persistent stress, not short-term spikes, that drives chronic inflammation and disease.45:37 The biggest intermittent fasting mistakes: not eating enough fiber, fasting too long, and confusing restriction with healing. For women, prolonged fasts can backfire by triggering cortisol.54:47 Beneficial gut bacteria produce postbiotics that activate GLP-1 receptors naturally. You can get the satiety effect without medication, just eat the vegetables first.58:13 Children who had high levels of bifidobacteria were largely protected from severe COVID outcomes. Bifidobacteria, which thrive on plant fiber, is the single most important bacteria in the microbiome.01:00:26 Studies show meditation and prayer increase lifespan by an average of five years.

In this video, I share my journey of recognizing the masks I wore to feel safe, accepted, loved, included, and understood. So many of us learned to shape shift, people please, stay quiet, over-give, or hide parts of ourselves just to belong.More people are realizing they are safe to be seen.Safe to speak.Safe to exist as their authentic self.Your frequency is one of a kind.There has never been another you in all of existence.When you stop performing and start allowing your true self to emerge, you become a gift and contribution to the collective. Your authenticity gives other people permission to remember themselves too.This is not about becoming someone new.It is about removing what was never truly you.If this resonates with you, I invite you to join us for CYBO, a playful consciousness and synchronicity game inspired by alignment, excitement, and connection. We gather weekly and explore reality, manifestation, frequency, and the magic of following our highest excitement.You can find all the CYBO links and information on my website:Sabrina Brightstar Official WebsiteThank you for being here.Thank you for allowing more of your authentic self to emerge.The world needs your unique frequency.

Send us Fan MailThis week, I'm joined by my friend and fellow mastermind member, Rianne Klein Getlink, for a conversation about authenticity, self-expression, and the subtle ways we learn to wear masks to fit into the world around us. We talk about how conditioning, professional expectations, and social pressure can slowly disconnect us from who we naturally are, along with why the things that feel most effortless to us are often the biggest clues to our authentic selves. We also explore two Dutch words that don't have direct English translations but completely change the way we think about ease, joy, anticipation, and possibility. This episode is a reminder that reinvention is always available and that maybe the parts of yourself you've been trying to tone down are actually the parts that were meant to shine the brightest. KEY TAKEAWAYS: • Many women unknowingly wear “masks” to fit in • What feels effortless may reveal your authentic self • Conditioning can disconnect us from our natural energy • Anticipation and joy are experiences worth cultivating • “Yes, and” thinking creates more creativity and possibility • Small mindset shifts can change your energy quickly • Reinvention is possible at any stage of lifeABOUT GUEST:Most of us desire to BE ourselves in every context, yet as we age we create a multitude of filters and masks between who we are and how we express ourselves. Rianne (49, The Netherlands) is on a mission to bring out all and more that what makes you YOU into the world.We're all born with an innate energy that wants to be expressed and instead of dimming your light, let's amplify all that lives in you so that we get to witness the real you and in return you feel actually seen as you.A Less Stressed Life because you get to live it as YOU.WHERE TO FIND GUEST:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/riannekleingeltink/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kies.vanuit.je.krachtNUTRITION PHILOSOPHY OF LESS STRESSED LIFE:

Description:Some conversations are so good, they deserve a second life. As we've been building out our Chosen Family series — exploring what it actually takes to find, keep, and nurture the people who truly see you — we kept coming back to this tender conversation because it was resonant then but it hits differently now. Dr. Thema Bryant is a psychologist, author, professor, ordained minister, and former president of the American Psychological Association. Her books Matters of the Heart and Homecoming have resonated deeply with women navigating the beautiful, complicated work of belonging — and her clarity on what it means to truly come home to yourself is exactly the foundation this series needed. In this conversation, Jen and Amy dig into: Why midlife can feel isolating even when you're surrounded by people — and what's really going on beneath that loneliness How to grieve friendships that have run their season while making genuine room for new ones The difference between performing friendship and actually being emotionally available for it Why our wellness matters more than our loyalty — and what it looks like to stop sacrificing yourself in the name of showing up for everyone else Practical tools like writing vows to yourself and how to build community from scratch when one was never ready-made for you Because here's what we keep coming back to: you cannot truly choose people if you haven't first chosen yourself. This conversation is the starting place. Thought-provoking Quotes: When I observe someone making a polite but clear boundary, I respect it. I'm impressed. – Jen Hatmaker Can you come to the place where you admit, I miss myself? And myself is not my labor. Myself is not my role. Myself is a living soul and one of the things that feeds my soul are my friendships but those got neglected because I was told that to be a good leader or to be a good mom, I had to deprioritize the things that nourished me. – Dr. Thema Bryant If a community is not ready-made, something for you to join, it's something for you to create. – Dr. Thema Bryant Our wellness is more important than our loyalty. – Dr. Thema Bryant If you have the tendency of picking people who don't pick you, you're not emotionally available. If you were emotionally available when there was nothing flowing back to you, you would shift. But if you fear intimacy, closeness, or being seen and known, you will continue to pursue that which is fleeing you, because it is safer. This is true in friendships and romantic relationships. – Dr. Thema Bryant Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Matters of the Heart: Healing Your Relationship with Yourself and Those You Love by Dr. Thema Bryant - https://amzn.to/40XMql6 Homecoming: Overcome Fear and Trauma to Reclaim Your Whole, Authentic Self by Dr. Thema Bryant - https://amzn.to/4hVYQ4c The Homecoming Podcast with Dr. Thema Bryant - https://soundcloud.com/dr-thema-bryant-davis Guest's Links: Thema's website - https://drthema.com/ Thema's Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/dr.thema/ Thema's Twitter - https://x.com/drthema Thema's Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/ThemaBryantDavis Thema's YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxpb1ZdNd6M99Fhaw09H81Q Thema's Podcast - https://soundcloud.com/dr-thema-bryant-davis Connect with Jen!Jen's Website - https://jenhatmaker.com/ Jen's Instagram - https://instagram.com/jenhatmakerJen's Twitter - https://twitter.com/jenHatmaker/ Jen's Facebook - https://facebook.com/jenhatmakerJen's YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/JenHatmaker The For the Love Podcast is presented by Audacy.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

What if the very thing you desire most—love, abundance, purpose, fulfillment—is waiting on the other side of feeling safe to truly be seen? This week, Jessica, Lacy, and Janelle unpack the roots of visibility wounds and how childhood conditioning, family dynamics, societal programming, and nervous system protection can keep us hiding from our authentic selves. They explore the subtle ways we abandon our truth to stay safe from people-pleasing and shape-shifting to fear of vulnerability and rejection, and why reclaiming your gifts is the key to true magnetism. If you've ever felt afraid to fully express yourself, share your gifts, speak your truth, or take up space, this conversation is a loving permission slip to stop hiding and finally let yourself bloom.

What if the hardest part of manifestation isn't getting what you want, but feeling worthy enough to deserve it? In this deeply expansive episode, Jessica welcomes Alexis Marie West for a conversation on manifestation, generational healing, boundaries, and the art of truly receiving. Alexis shares her remarkable journey from growing up amidst addiction, instability, and survival-mode conditioning to manifesting a peaceful dream home, financial security, creative freedom, and authentic self-worth.  Together, they unpack the uncomfortable integration phase that happens after manifestations land, the emotional reality of setting boundaries with loved ones, and how reclaiming creativity becomes the gateway back to your authentic self.  This episode is a powerful reminder that healing isn't about perfection—it's about choosing yourself again and again until your external reality finally reflects the safety and abundance you've always deserved.
