Sylvester McNutt III, 10-time best-selling author, podcaster, speaker, retired arena football player, and father, joins Dr. Tara Perry for a grounded and deeply personal conversation on healing, identity, and reclaiming your story. Sylvester shares how growing up with two parents battling addiction through a violent divorce set him on a lifelong search for answers, why a stolen notebook at age 12 saved his life, and how football gave him both his greatest advantages and his biggest blind spots. He opens up about the difference between wallowing in the past and truly integrating it, the blind spots he sees in the high achievers he coaches, and why he refuses to pass a victim story down to his sons. The conversation closes with the mindset shift that changed everything for him — and a powerful invitation to stop beating yourself up and fall in love with your life right now.KEY TAKEAWAYS(02:46) What football didn't teach him — why sports prepare you to be an athlete but not for who you are when the identity is gone(04:47) The athlete's advantage — with 60-70 plays a game, there's no luxury of shame or rumination; you learn to refocus and return to baseline fast(07:58) What athletes hide — how fan culture dehumanizes athletes, why accepting verbal abuse is written into the job description, and the pain and fear that get masked(13:41) How Sylvester is raising his own sons in sports — keeping it about fun and learning, not performance, pleasing dad, or going pro(15:32) Growing up with two parents in addiction through a violent divorce, being separated from his brother and sister, and refusing to stay in a victim mentality(18:31) The power of imagination — why he saw an "image" of a different life, how football became the one place his parents couldn't influence, and how school field trips showed him what was possible(20:51) Why he chose communications as his college major: to solve the childhood riddle of what happened to his parents(25:57) Wallowing vs. avoiding the past — how to know when a wound is truly integrated, and why Sylvester feels nothing but love when he tells his story now(26:53) Holding parents accountable while honoring them — accepting the duality that his biggest pain points were also his biggest providers(30:59) The blind spots of high achievers — imposter syndrome, inflated shame, lying to the people trying to help you, and the epidemic of missing boundaries(37:37) The stolen 7-Eleven notebook that saved his life at 12 — and the full-circle moment when he returned as an adult to repay it(39:20) The biggest mistake people make when they want a better life: obsessing over how it will happen instead of anchoring to why(44:39) What 10-year-old Sylvester needed to hear — and the message every adult's inner child still needs: everything will be okay(46:50) Sylvester's closing invitation: stop beating yourself up, and fall in love with your life right nowIf you're ready to take your healing to the next level, schedule your free consultation with Dr. Tara at: https://ConsultTara.com/book

In Episode 525 of Fishing Without Bait, Jim Ellermeyer welcomes Vic Costik for Part 1 of a conversation about community, authenticity, connection, and finding the courage to become more fully yourself. Vic is a designer, community advocate, and the creator of New Rust, a podcast exploring Pittsburgh's transformation through the individual stories of people doing interesting things throughout the city. Growing up surrounded by the enormous crowds of New York City, Vic expected proximity to people to create connection. Instead, it was moving to Pittsburgh that showed him what community could truly feel like. Vic talks with Jim about discovering Pittsburgh's LGBTQ community, building a found family, participating in the city's creative and wonderfully unusual spaces, and realizing how helping others can create a support network in return. From jam nights and local zines to simply meeting people doing something they care about, Vic explains why Pittsburgh's smaller communities became so important to him. The conversation also explores judgment, curiosity, and what can happen when we approach unfamiliar experiences with a willingness to listen instead of immediately forming conclusions. Vic shares stories of talking with coworkers who had little or no previous experience with transgender people and choosing conversation as an opportunity to create understanding. Vic also reflects candidly on his own journey toward authenticity. He discusses growing up without the language to understand what he was experiencing, repressing parts of himself, getting married to his high school sweetheart, and eventually recognizing that the life he was living did not feel like his own. As Vic puts it, transitioning allowed him to “meet myself for the 1st time.” What followed was more than a change in identity. Vic discovered a version of himself who loves being around people, participating in his community, sharing ideas, and embracing the wonderfully weird interests that make each person unique. This is Part 1 of our conversation with Vic Costik. The conversation continues in the next episode of Fishing Without Bait. Learn more about Vic's New Rust podcast at NewRustPodcast.com.

Authenticity is not just being honest with the world. It is learning how to recognize the false identities, nervous system patterns, and subconscious programming that have been shaping your life beneath the surface.In this episode of Walk In Victory, NaRon Tillman sits down with Dr. Alena Candova to explore the journey of unmasking the true authentic self.Dr. Alena brings together subconscious reprogramming, applied neuroscience, somatic work, nervous system regulation, yoga, intuitive coaching, and deep inner awareness to help people recognize the patterns that keep them living from old conditioning instead of true identity.Together, NaRon and Dr. Alena discuss false personas, early-life programming, trauma patterns, body-based healing, intentional inner work, and why transformation requires more than information. It requires awareness, embodiment, and the courage to meet yourself honestly.Connect with Dr. Alena Candova:Website: http://www.sattvaintegralhealth.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-alena-%C4%8Dandov%C3%A1-4155a317/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/walk-in-victory--4078479/support.If this conversation connected with you, don't just listen—take the next step.Start with the audiobook: Awakening I AMThis is where clarity begins. https://walkinvictory.me/awakening-i-am/audio-bookPrefer to read?

Why do so many children lose their authentic selves and what can parents do to protect them?In this powerful episode of the Parenting Collective Podcast, Donna Moala sits down with Alexander Kopelman, social entrepreneur, advocate, whole-being coach, and author of For Real: Helping Children Remain Their Authentic Selves in a Limiting World, to explore how modern parenting can either nurture or unintentionally suppress a child's true identity.As the founding President and CEO of the Children's Arts Guild, Alexander helped build a nonprofit dedicated to helping children discover, express, and develop their authentic selves through creativity, connection, and personal growth.Together, Donna and Alexander unpack why children often disconnect from who they truly are, how shame and generational patterns quietly shape our parenting, and why raising emotionally secure children starts with our own self-awareness. They also discuss practical ways parents can respond instead of react, support children through difficult emotions, and create an environment where kids feel safe to be fully themselves.In this episode, you will learn:* Why children lose their authentic self* How generational patterns influence parenting* The hidden impact of shame on child development* Why your child's behaviour may be reflecting your own triggers* How to build emotional safety and stronger parent-child connection* Practical ways to raise confident, emotionally resilient childrenWhether you're parenting a toddler, teenager, or somewhere in between, this conversation offers practical insights to help you foster connection, emotional wellbeing, and authenticity in your family.Follow Alexander Kopelman:LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/alexander-kopelman-701547Website: http://authenticityworks.orgFacebook: http://www.facebook.com/childrensartsguildInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/childrensartsguildBuy the book: https://forrealbook.org/I would appreciate it greatly if you could please LIKE and FOLLOW this podcast and if you are not following me over on instagram, head over there for all of my top tips and advice around sleep and parenting @parentingcollective.au.  I also offer a free 15 minute phone chat to run through all your questions CLICK here to book your FREE 15 minute chatMuch Love

Co-Host Emily McKay (https://www.deservewhatyouwant.com) Nobody in Western culture wants to come off as fake to anyone. Authenticity rules, especially if we expect to build meaningful, connected relationships...especially with MOTOS. But the tricky question has always been about how to know when you're being your true self. What context is that most likely to occur in...and with whom especially? Well, the hot take this show is built around is that we just might be our most authentic self when we're around those we feel most comfortable with. That's a heavy statement...especially if you don't exactly like who you tend to become around family, best friends and other loved ones. But is it necessarily true? And even if it is, is it necessarily a bad thing that we can express who we really are and what we really feel with those we're closest to, even if it's occasionally unpleasant? Similarly, is it not a good thing to respond plainly and truthfully when they interact with us? And what about "reading the room" and tailoring our behaviors, and even our mindset, to specific situations? Is it "fake" to be adaptive? As it turns out, Emily and I were reminded of this topic and the value of discussing it after a legitimately weird occurrence this past week. We got the perhaps once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to interact with each other as total strangers--even though we've been together for over twenty years. How in the world does that happen? Stay tuned for the story...and why it matters.

[Content Warning]: Discussions of childhood trauma, family violence, compulsive coping behaviors, religious and cultural trauma tied to LGBTQ identity and shame, and grief following the death of a parent. What happens when the anger you've been taught to suppress finally has somewhere to go? In this episode of Trauma Interrupted, Jan Broberg sits down with Devin Scott, LMSW, NBC-HWC, and founder of Find Your Meaning, to talk about the parts of trauma recovery that don't get talked about enough: rage, disgust, and the long, non-linear road back to an authentic self. Devin brings both clinical training and lived experience to this conversation, walking through why anger needs to be permissioned before it can be processed, how a child's disbelief from the adults around them can turn PTSD into complex PTSD, and why the coping strategies that once kept us safe often resemble pieces of who we really are underneath. The conversation moves through breathwork and embodied consent, Buddhist and yogic frameworks for integrating mind and body, the double bind many LGBTQ people face between social conformity and countercultural pressure, and in one of the episode's most tender turns, what it means to make new meaning after profound loss. This is a conversation about slowing down, trusting the body, and learning that healing isn't a straight line toward feeling nothing. It's learning to read the pain, the anger, and the grief as information, and building a life that can hold all of it. Where To Find Devin M.

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

Del Bigtree, Emmy Award-winning producer, founder and CEO of the Informed Consent Action Network (ICAN), and host of The Highwire, joins Dr. Tara Perry for a thought-provoking conversation on medical informed consent, government transparency, and the question he believes everybody should be asking. Del is the executive producer of the documentary An Inconvenient Study, viewed more than 130 million times worldwide, and through ICAN has pursued more than 1,000 FOIA requests and legal actions involving the FDA, CDC, NIH, and HHS. Del shares the nine-year backstory behind the film — from a 2016 dinner challenge with Henry Ford Health's head of infectious disease to the hidden-camera footage and the two-month sprint to finish the documentary — along with why he believes we're in the "violently opposed" stage of truth, where his fearlessness comes from, and the faith that anchors his work. The conversation closes with Del's megaphone message to the world: speak your truth, get involved, and let go of fear.KEY TAKEAWAYS(02:06) The handshake bet that started it all — Del's 2016 dinner with Dr. Marcus Zervos of Henry Ford Health, and the admission Del calls one of the most remarkable he's ever heard from a pro-vaccine scientist(04:59) The study gets done in 2020 — and why Dr. Zervos refused to publish it, captured on hidden camera at a second dinner in 2021(06:36) The phone call that changed everything — Senator Ron Johnson agrees to publish the study on the Senate website, giving Del just two months to make a documentary he thought needed a year(08:13) Two awards at FreedomFest — and why Del says he still gets tears in his eyes watching the finished film(10:59) Why Del says this is now "repeatable science" — what he describes as the 10th–12th study comparing vaccinated and unvaccinated children, all pointing the same direction(13:00) Del's challenge to the New York Times and Washington Post — "show your evidence" — and how he says the expert defense has shifted(16:44) The communicator's craft — how Del layered animation, music, visuals, and nine years of Highwire interviews to make a complex subject land for every kind of learner in just 70 minutes(19:30) Taking the film to Italy, France, Poland, England, the Netherlands, and Japan — nearly 10 languages and counting, with free translations on request(20:53) The Australian Senate moment — how Del realized the study at the center of his film is reaching health departments on the other side of the world(22:46) Schopenhauer's three stages of truth — why Del believes we're in the "violently opposed" stage, and the vaccinated-versus-unvaccinated study he says RFK Jr. is still fighting to complete at HHS(29:17) Why Del is optimistic — the 15% it has historically taken to change a system, and the 30% he believes "can't be hypnotized"(34:49) Where his courage comes from — parents who marched in the 1960s and celebrated his challenges, an unshakeable optimism, and a faith that leaves no room for fear(37:32) Del's biggest heroes — from Andy Wakefield and RFK Jr. to the unsung heroes history will never name(39:48) What he'd tell his 18-year-old self who dreamed of being the next Spielberg — "you have no idea how much fun your life is going to be"(42:43) Del's biggest concern for the years ahead — global governance, AI, and why he says rebellion is in our DNA(46:08) Del's megaphone message to the world: wake up every morning, ask what you can do to make the world better — then listen, and go do itIf you're ready to take your healing to the next level, schedule your free consultation with Dr. Tara at: calendly.com/consulttara/consult

Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1443DM Gaming personality Pokimane distinguishes fitting in, feeling socially acceptable, from truly belonging among people who understand your soul. 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.

Veronica Blair, certified hypnotherapist and former professional aerialist, breaks down what hypnosis actually is, why you're in a trance more often than you think, and how intentional self-hypnosis can help you dissolve the programming that's been running your life since childhood. From growing up in the San Francisco housing projects to performing 60 feet in the air, Veronica's story is proof that the mind is the most powerful tool we have — and hypnotherapy is just learning how to use it on purpose. About the Guest Veronica Blair is a certified hypnotherapist through the National Guild of Hypnotists and the founder of Millennial Hypnosis. A former professional aerialist who performed across the US, Japan, Spain, and South Africa, Veronica brings a uniquely embodied approach to healing — blending traditional Ericksonian hypnosis, past life regression, age regression, and clairvoyant energy reading into one deeply holistic practice. Her work is rooted in helping people decolonize their mental space, dissolve generational programming, and return to their most authentic selves. Connect with Veronica Blair

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 the Dethroning Your Inner Critic podcast, Joanna Kleinman shares one of the most powerful discoveries she's made after 30 years as a psychotherapist and executive coach: your life isn't shaped by your circumstances—it's shaped by the predictions your automatic mind makes about them. You'll discover why confidence isn't something you build, but something that naturally emerges when you update the outdated mental maps that have been running your life for years. If you've ever wondered why positive thinking falls short or why you keep repeating the same emotional patterns, this episode will give you a whole new understanding of how lasting transformation really happens. ✨ Tune in to learn how updating your internal map can change the way you lead, live, and experience your life.   Your weekly reflection questions: What is my automatic mind predicting about this situation that may not actually be true? Where in my life am I following an outdated map instead of creating a new one? What would my Authentic Self predict instead?

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.

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

If you've been trying to feel more confident, less anxious, or more certain before taking the next step in your life, this episode is for you. I'm exploring why the real obstacle isn't your fear, self-doubt, or uncomfortable emotions—it's the relationship you've developed with them. You'll learn how the MIND Method helps you stop resisting discomfort, understand what your nervous system is really telling you, and build the emotional capacity to move forward even when uncertainty is present. ✨ Tune in to discover how changing your relationship with discomfort can free you from the Inner Critic and help you lead your life from your Authentic Self.   Your weekly reflection questions: What uncomfortable feeling have you spent the most energy trying to avoid, and how has avoiding it shaped your life? How would your decisions change if you stopped waiting for fear or uncertainty to disappear first? What would it look like to respond to discomfort with curiosity instead of resistance this week?  

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 Martin is a spiritual healer and the founder of Army for Love, a free global healing community she built after surviving cancer and dying three times, each time returning with a deeper gift for healing. 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™. He is the author of Your Journey To Success and Your Journey To Being Yourself.TOPICS COVERED: anhedonia, why do I feel empty, emotional numbness, why do I feel nothing, survival persona collapse, dead spots, emotional shutdown, high-functioning burnout, Worst Day Cycle, Authentic Self Cycle, Emotional Authenticity Method, Kenny Weiss, childhood emotional suppression, titrated re-entry0:00 — The Couch, the Show, the Person You Love, the Nothing1:30 — The Successful Client Who Forgot How to Want3:00 — Why Your Emotional System Pulled the Master Breaker6:00 — Anhedonia Is Exhaustion, Not Chemistry9:00 — The Worst Day Cycle Underneath the Numbness11:30 — Why Antidepressants and Cold Plunges Cannot Reach It13:30 — The Authentic Self Cycle Inside the Shutdown16:00 — The Emotional Authenticity Method as Titrated Re-Entry19:00 — Identity Close

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?  

What if you could practice energetic boundaries, attunement, and tending to life's quiet nudges every single day? This week, Jessica welcomes gardener, designer, author, and TBMer Bailey Van Tassel for a conversation about reconnecting to authenticity through the land and allowing abundance to flow through alignment instead of force. Bailey shares how The Money Challenge transformed her relationship with worthiness, how childhood conditioning created financial blocks, and how learning to honor herself shifted everything: her business, her nervous system, and her experience of success. Together, they explore the healing power of gardening, co-creating with nature, inner child work, and simplifying life around what truly lights you up. It's time to behold the magic around you — and to be witnessed in return. Ready to step into your power? The Be Seen Challenge is live — drop into the TBM app to take the kickoff quiz and begin.

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.

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.
