Middle school is a terrible time for teenage girls. Their bodies are changing. Acne is developing. Boys are starting to look at them. And for whatever reason, girls start being really mean to each other. They often feel like no one understands them, like they have to pretend to be someone else, like they're supposed to mold themselves into what society expects them to be. Carrie Penna remembers these feelings. Now she's on a mission to make sure no Seacoast girl ever has to feel them again. In today's conversation from my makeshift studio in Portsmouth, the Executive Director of Soul Models and I discuss: Why I care about women's issues (00:00) Carrie's middle school experience (02:45) Living in San Diego (07:04) Working at Lululemon in NH (12:50) Why Carrie joined Soul Models (26:05) What Soul Models does (28:02) How to participate in Soul Models (38:18) Boys' struggles vs. girls' struggles (42:55) Soul Powerful event (47:10) Why Carrie froze her eggs (48:58) What's your mission? (58:13) Carrie Penna is the Executive Director of Soul Models, a Seacoast nonprofit that gives middle school girls the tools they need to become confident young women. With the help of facilitators like Amy Tilton or Bridget Jenkins, Carrie creates a curriculum featuring local leaders in art, mindfulness, cooking, and more. Formerly a leader at Portsmouth's (extinct) Lululemon showroom downtown, Penna grew up in Durham, N.H., attended Stonehill College, and also lived in San Diego for five years following a stint working at Dana Farber in Boston. --To get Soul Models into your daughter's school district, visit SoulModels.org.

In this solo episode, I dive into my recent work in manifesting and how it has helped shift a lot of stagnation, frustration, and confusion in my life. I share how I came to the To Be Magnetic course and what I was looking for going into the course, how it helped me prioritize being present, and how I have felt aligned and reaped the benefits of manifesting throughout the course. I also talk about what I discovered during my unblocking session, how societal and inherited blinders can make us feel less-than, and how freeing it is to tap into who you are and find your authentic joy again. Finally, I answer two listener voicemails on dealing with friends' judgment over career paths and bachelorette party location ideas.Key Takeaway / Points:On feeling stuck and wanting to tap back into spiritualityOn regressing back into my need for controlOn manifesting from within the subconsciousMy experience in the To Be Magnetic courseOn prioritizing being presentOn feeling aligned and reaping the benefits of manifestingWhat I discovered in my unblocking sessionOn taking off societal and inherited blinders and finding your joy againAnswering listener voicemails on:Dealing with friends' judgment over career paths and staying confidentBachelorette party location ideasBuy a ticket here Listen to Elizabeth's episode about her To Be Magnetic experience hereFind the To Be Magnetic course signup here and use code CAMERON for 15% offFind my Voicemail/AMA link hereFollow @sweatsandthecityFollow @elizaendFollow my spinal energetics healer Tiffany @heyimtiffanymarieFollow @thewellnessprocesspodFollow Chloe, my creative right hand @chloesappernThis episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.

In this episode of the Moms for Trans Kids podcast, mamabeast Dr. Lulu and Kim is joined by Joey Morelli, a trans queer man, to discuss the importance of living authentically and supporting gender diverse individuals. Joey shares his personal journey of coming out later in life and emphasizes the significance of understanding the soul journey that trans individuals go through. The conversation highlights the need for safe spaces, the power of being oneself as an act of resistance, and the importance of role models for trans individuals. Joey also discusses the book "Authentic Selves: Celebrating Trans and Non-Binary People and Their Families," which he contributed to, and the impact it has in creating visibility and understanding. Key Takeaways: Being yourself is an act of resistance in a world that wants to erase and discriminate against trans individuals. Transitioning is not just a physical journey but also a soul journey, and it is important for parents to understand and support their child's self-discovery. Creating safe spaces and providing role models for trans individuals, especially younger ones, is crucial for their well-being and self-acceptance. The book "Authentic Selves" celebrates the diverse journeys of trans and non-binary individuals and their families, providing visibility and understanding.

We're living in an era filled with both excitement and fear, where we have new opportunities. Yet the pressure to conform to traditional norms can be overwhelming. The idea that the world is our oyster can be empowering, but the reality is often a struggle against the pressure to fit into a mold.   Living up to others' expectations may result in a sense of disconnection from our true selves, creating a distorted sense of reality.   How do we break free from doing what's traditional and can it help our children to do the same? How do we challenge the conventional norms and encourage our kids to embrace both new opportunities and what they want?   In this episode life strategist, author, therapist and co-host of Be.Play.Love Sophie Chiche joins me to talk about living life the way we want to, why it's so important to do things the way we want to and not the way the world expects us to.   A lot of pain is from living a life that is not really your own. -Sophie Chiche   3 Things You'll Learn in This Episode   -Being busy vs. being burnt out How do we know if our level of activity is masking something else?   -Start to say no How do we use the word “no” with confidence?   -Masterful self-management  How do we mentor ourselves so that we can mentor our kids?    Guest Bio   Sophie is a French import on an emotional asylum visa. An entrepreneur by breed, she started a pencil trading business by the age of six. Later, with $11 in her pocket, she grew an innovative spa concept to 12 locations in LA and NY and $9M in revenue.

Self-Awareness Series installment: Join ORRA The Informationalist as he delves into Why We Must Be Our Authentic Selves? Authenticity is an important aspect of life. It's the basis of self-trust, self-confidence, and self-love. When you are authentic, you're able to look in the mirror and see your true self, not the person you think you should be. You're able to be honest with yourself and with others about your thoughts and feelings. You can be vulnerable and open, without fear of judgment. Authenticity allows you to be true to yourself, even in difficult situations. It allows you to take risks and live life to the fullest. It allows you to create meaningful relationships and experiences. Authenticity is a challenge, but it's worth it. It's the key to leading a fulfilling life. When you embrace yourself and your authentic self, you can make decisions and take actions that are aligned with your values. You can have meaningful connections with others, and you can live life with purpose. Authenticity is the foundation of true happiness and success. It's the key to living an honest, meaningful, and fulfilling life. Welcome to the Network of Awareness Podcast Radio Show!

She provides valuable information on the 6 categories that she helps neurodivergent individuals understand and accept as they move forward to create their most authentic life. Other topics addressed include: Understanding your autistic (or AuDHD) characteristics and getting clarity about what you accept and what you may want to work on or change. Making sense of things after diagnosis or self identification. Art can help move the emotions through you and help you tap into the subconscious and look at what needs to be processed. You may need to focus on and process your grief before moving forward. Know that it's okay to have feelings and they are happening for a reason. The importance of getting to a place of understanding yourself in 6 categories: Mental/Thinking; Emotional, Sensory, Body, Social and Passions. Passions are used to regulate your nervous system. Don't take it personal when your autistic partner wants to be alone. Emotionally may have higher highs and lower lows and experience intense emotions more frequently. Autistics may have enhanced senses and this can be physically and mentally exhausting. Understand what each partner needs to regulate their nervous system. Learn how to take care of your brain. Know your social quota. May have challenges having conversations when there are a lot of sensory issues to deal with. Increase self-awareness and understand yourself so you can take a break before you've reached your limit. One thought can lead to a hundred other thoughts (constellation or multilayered thinking). Understanding interoception and proprioception Being aware of the needs of your body and being able to sense when you're hungry, thirsty or need to use the bathroom. Food sensitivities and understanding the mind/gut connection. The challenges of being misdiagnosed. Looking at how you've been treated and how you've treated others. You can learn more about the services Jackie offers and her writings on her website: www.jackieschuld.com Jackie's book "Life as a Late-Identified Autistic" will be published in January 2024. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/neurodiverse-love/message

Mona and Olga are back to talk about how challenging it can be to be our authentic selves in any relationship. They also share some of the challenges they have experienced with past and current relationships. Some of the other topics discussed include: Not understanding ourselves, our partners, or their lived experiences. Our perception can change our reality. Apologizing can be so hard. The value of asking "how can I help or support you?" Being respectful, kind and compassionate. Concrete, black and white thinking. The importance of listening to "understand" your partner and if you don't understand be curious and ask questions. Be open to changing your perspective and your mind. How definitive decisions can result in no path back. Maybe it's not personal. Coming from a place of fear, because of past trauma. How can you trust each other? How addictions can be used to help when you don't feel like you fit in. Alcohol may be used to be more present and serve as a social lubricant. Focus more on fun. ___________________________________________________ To listen to more episodes of the podcast with Mona and Olga check out Season 1 of the Neurodiverse Love podcast.

"When I told my lesbian love that I was transitioning, she sat with me for four hours, and I said, I don't know what this means for us.

Authenticity is knowing who you are beyond your limiting beliefs and sharing that human with the world. - Karen Caton- Brunings Karen is a certified life, health and authenticity coach. She shares her background and how she found her way to authenticity coaching after learning that she had built a life based on limiting beliefs that made her feel uncomfortable with who she was as an authentic little girl. Karen shares her experience of being lonely and depressed at the age of 38 and being locked in a battle between her authentic self and her constructed version of herself. She decided to lean into her authenticity and rewrite her story from a place of authenticity. She started using authenticity in her work as a personal trainer and found that it transformed her way of doing business and relationships. Karen became an authenticity coach, creating a space for people to rediscover who they are beyond their limiting beliefs. I absolutely adored this conversation with Karen. You will be able to feel her loving energy radiate through the air and straight into your soul. She is a permission giver. A cheerleader. She gives you the courage to be unapologetically you. And when we can do that, it impacts every single aspect of our lives. I spent a long time feeling like a stranger in my own life and not knowing how to get back to myself. If that's you, this conversation will be a light on your path home. Below is Karen's website if you would like to work with her as a coach. She will also be starting a podcast with Stephanie Bacon, whom I also interviewed. You will hear her episode in the coming weeks. Their website is also listed below. The podcast will be called Authentically Yours. Lastly, a link to sign up for my weekly mindful moments newsletter is also below. The newsletter will recap our show for the week and invite you to try an exercise that will help move you toward self discovery. Love To You All My Friends!

Welcome back to rediscover! It's Taurus season, and this month's conversation is all about slowing down and getting grounded in our most authentic selves. We're going inward and examining the spaces that we want to heal, nurture, and grow, and that require vulnerability.  From contemplating the concepts of sober curiosity and intentional drinking to surrendering to our circumstances and unpacking what it means to truly design a life that is aligned with our most honest desires, we are digging deep into what it means to know who you are and live accordingly. We're getting comfortable with being uncomfortable, and with being on the outside looking in. Being authentic has nothing to do with being liked or admired, but everything to do with feeling content in our day-to-day lives and comfortable in our own skin. It's not always easy, and it definitely takes time, but we're here to help you out along the way; to hold space for whatever you're walking through and remind you that you're never alone. We hope you resonate with today's conversation and that you feel like you're right here with us - sitting on Jess' bedroom floor, two hands wrapped around a cup of something cozy, having a chat with your best friends. Thank you so much for being here, and we'll talk to you again in June!    Resources Mentioned: Faith | @thathealingfeeling | Nervous System Coach Kathrin | @manifestationbabe | Manifestation Teacher   Past rediscover Episodes Mentioned: 12.
