Podcasts about authentically

The cost of perfection left me perfectly exhausted. Be thin, but not too thin. Be confident but not overly confident. Be successful, but not too successful. If you're with me and you experience the pressure to be perfect, this is a perfect paradox—and it is time to dump the impossible standards that are destroying your mental health and that are so tied to eating disorders. In this episode, I'm diving into the relentless pressure to be perfect and how it's literally rewiring your brain to keep you stuck. Whether you're just starting your recovery journey or you've been on this path for years, perfectionism might feel like both an old friend and your biggest obstacle. And when you couple perfectionism with the pressure from culture and society to be Instagram-ready? The output you receive is simply exhaustion. You're exhausted, sis. And trying to live up to these impossible standards. But today, we're going to dissect this. We're going to look at what science says about breaking free. Because you don't just have to take my word for it—research shows your brain can actually change. In this episode, you'll discover: The impossible standards we're all trying to live up to (and why they're literally impossible) The shocking statistics: 68% of individuals with eating disorders display clinically significant perfectionism Why perfectionism often appears YEARS before any eating disorder behaviors The deep roots of perfectionism: family dynamics, trauma, social media (users who spend 3+ hours/day are 60% more likely to develop body image issues) The neuroscience: How perfectionists have heightened activity in the brain's "error detection center" How altered serotonin and dopamine systems make it harder for perfectionists to feel "good enough" or satisfied The vicious cycle: threat detection → anxiety → perfectionist behaviors → temporary relief → reinforced neural pathways The HOPE: How mindfulness, self-compassion, and exposure to imperfection can actually change your brain Why true recovery happens when you stop trying to do it perfectly and start doing it honestly A powerful devotional insight: "God won't bless who you pretend to be" The truth: Your worth isn't measured by impossible standards—it's measured by your courage to show up If you're tired of being tired, if you're exhausted from trying to be "perfect," if you feel stuck in the perfect paradox—this episode will give you both the science and the hope you need to break free. KEY QUOTES FROM THIS EPISODE

"Feeling good in your own skin is good for your health, it's good for your vitality."  Authenticity isn't something you manufacture—it's something you remember. When you stop sanding yourself down to fit in, a different kind of strength shows up. This nugget explores what happens when identity is no longer hidden, diluted, or negotiated, and why leading from the heart creates a clarity that effort alone never can.  There's a moment when you realize the parts of yourself you tried to leave behind never actually left. They were waiting. This episode reflects on reclaiming culture, character, and conviction—and how moving through life and business as who you truly are changes what you attract, how you lead, and how grounded you feel in your own skin.  Visit https://www.eCircleAcademy.com and book a success call with Nicky to take your practice to the next level.

Stefanie Carlstedt is a Human Design Business Coach who helps entrepreneurs build businesses that actually fit who they are, not who the online world tells them to be. After building and losing a six-figure business by following one-size-fits-all strategies, Stef was forced to confront a hard truth: success with self abandonment isn't sustainable. Through Human Design, she discovered why burnout, inconsistency, and frustration weren't personal failures, but signs she was operating against her natural design. Now, Stef helps business owners uncover how they're uniquely wired to lead, market, make decisions, and grow in a way that feels clear, sustainable, and deeply personal. Her work bridges strategy and self-trust, helping entrepreneurs stop copying roadmaps and start building businesses that evolve with them. Stef is known for cutting through the noise with honesty, compassion, and practical insight, reminding entrepreneurs that the path is rarely linear and that the most powerful businesses are built from within.

Leaders today face a critical challenge: how to leverage AI effectively without losing their authentic voice or the trust of their teams. Some are avoiding AI entirely, while others are over-relying on it at the expense of their own critical thinking and expertise.AI should enhance communication, not replace it. When used strategically, AI can actually help leaders become more authentic.Gayle Lantz speaks with Allison Shapira, trusted advisor to some of the world's most influential voices. For over 20 years, Allison has helped senior executives from prime ministers and cabinet members to Fortune 100 leaders communicate with clarity, confidence, and strategic purpose.Find the full show notes at:https://workmatters.com/Using-AI-to-Communicate-More-Authentically-with-Allison-Shapira

Speaking is one of our greatest powers as humans, it is also one of our greatest fears. Many of us, especially Women, are terrified to use our voices in all matter of situations after centuries of being told we're unworthy to do so. How can Women come to reclaim, embrace, and use their voices? My guest this week, Jen Oliver, has created a vibrant business around doing just that. Jen is a speaking and communications coach and podcaster - equipping women to speak with greater impact and presence. Her approach is highly connective, collaborative, and customized. She teaches Women how to communicate REAL – in a way that is Relational, Engaging, Authentic, and Life-Altering. Her coaching goes beyond the stage and accolades. She equips her clients with tools to speak with impact in any aspect of life.On this guest episode, Jen beautifully shares about helping women to speak from their truest voice, coaching them in all types of scenarios from big stages to having a voice in their own home. Together we share our love for speaking and sharing our voices (we're both podcast hots!) and discuss the life events that can cause reluctance to be heard. Jen explains how too many women suffer dis-ease when they remain silent, people please, sugar coat or just divert and get performative. Many of us were raised to do this - culturally or as a survival mechanism, and she was one of them. Jen tells us how her work as a speaking coach addresses helping people heal and build self confidence. Jen offers stories of how she has seen over and over - women who are liberated in their voices are happier, healthier, & more prosperous in their work life and enjoy richer relationships. Without fail. Bio Jen Oliver is a speaking and communications coach and podcaster - equipping women to speak with greater impact and presence. Whether you are speaking on stage, promoting your business, or voicing your needs in the bedroom - Jen helps women to dismantle old narratives and limiting beliefs as a gateway to speaking with self-trust and cultivating  connection with any audience. Jen serves as a 4-season Executive Producer, Director of Curation, and Speaker Coach for TEDxFolsom. She is also a committed force behind WomanSpeak™ - an internationally recognized body of work teaching the art and soul of public speaking.Jen hosts the Listen for REAL podcast and is currently founding a second platform with a mission of supporting 1 million women as they speak with a new level of freedom and confidence.Website:https://realjenoliver.com/ Socials:https://www.instagram.com/realjenoliver/https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1250053318https://www.linkedin.com/in/realjenoliver/https://www.podpage.com/listen-for-real/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZwbOwKCl6tsFBJLzVOkwUQ

Today on The Quiet Warrior Podcast, I'm joined by Dr. Jodi Vandenberg-Daves — leadership strategist, consultant, coach, facilitator, historian, and author of Leading with Courage: A Career-Long Guide for Idealistic Women. With more than 25 years in higher education and nonprofit leadership, Jodi brings both scholarship and lived wisdom to the conversation.This episode is a gentle but powerful exploration of leadership for introverted, values-driven women — especially those working inside imperfect systems. Jodi shares how her own career journey moved from the pursuit of knowledge to the pursuit of connection, what she learned about navigating large groups as an introvert, and why values-driven leadership is essential for creating inclusive, compassionate workplaces.Together, we explore:How introverts can thrive in leadership by honouring their energy, creating boundaries, and trusting the processContext awareness as a powerful (and often overlooked) leadership strength — especially for women and women of colourWhy idealistic women need a different kind of leadership guidance than what mainstream corporate literature offersThe emotional agility and relational intelligence women bring to organisational lifeHow values-based decisions become catalysts for courage, clarity, and career directionThe importance of intergenerational wisdom, and why Boomers, Millennials, and Gen Z have more to learn from each other than we thinkJodi also shares remarkable stories from her book, including moments when women took a stand for their values — sometimes at the cost of their job — and how these choices shaped their leadership identities.One Thing Jodi Wants You to Remember“Standing up for your values — even in small moments — is what builds the courage to make bigger, life-changing decisions later on.”Resources & LinksGet Jodi's Book: Leading with Courage: A Career-Long Guide for Idealistic WomenLearn more about Jodi's work:Dr. Jodi Vandenberg-Daves | JVD Consulting LLCJoin The Visible Introvert Community for resources to help you thrive as an introvert: serenalow.com.auIf You Enjoyed This Episode…Please leave a 5-star rating and review to help us reach more introverts, quiet achievers, and idealistic leaders around the world.This episode was edited by Aura House Productions

Every coach has a story — and when you learn how to share yours intentionally, it becomes one of the most powerful marketing tools you have. In this episode, I'm breaking down how story sells — not in a slick or salesy way, but in a deeply human, connection-building way. I'll walk you through how I've used different parts of my own evolving story over the years to shape my brand, connect with my audience, and design offers that truly resonate. You'll hear about: The early days when I was coaching moms juggling work, kids, and identity How my story (and niche) naturally evolved as I entered midlife and perimenopause What happened when I quit drinking — and how that transparency attracted a whole new audience How I created programs around my own transitions, like supporting women through divorce And how the Business Building Bootcamp was born out of my story as an entrepreneur — sharing the lessons, mistakes, and tools I wish I'd had when I was starting out We'll also talk about the ethics and timing of storytelling: why you should “share from your scars, not your wounds,” how to know what to keep private, and how a little vulnerability can go a long way toward helping people see you as a real, trustworthy human (not a perfect expert). By the end, you'll understand how your life's journey can evolve right alongside your business — and how to turn your experiences into stories that attract your right-fit clients and inform your next great offer.

One of the marketing approaches they have refined to achieve that connection is bespoke campaigns with influencers that can attract new consumers and inspire a test drive.

If I asked you why we communicate with others, what would your reply be? I think my mind initially went to sharing information. But as you will soon hear, my guest cites that only 15-18% of our daily communications are about mere information. What is the primary reason we communicate then? We communicate to connect with others. My interest then is considering how much of my communication actually results in true connection. I have a world expert with me. Charles Duhigg. Charles is a Pulitzer prize-winning journalist and the author of The Power of Habit, which spent over three years on bestseller lists is my favorite book on habits. In February of 2024 I had him here on the show for the first time to talk about his then new book, Supercommunicators: How to Unlock the Secret Language of Connection. The book has already sold over a million copies and I brought him back on to talk further about my own evolution in connecting, and to celebrate the release of the paperback version of Supercommunicators. Charles also writes for The New Yorker magazine and previously wrote for The New York Times and is a graduate of Yale University and Harvard Business School.

Send us a textHello you beautiful souls! In this episode, we move into the Throat Chakra, or Vishuddha — the energy center of communication, self-expression, honesty, and truth. This chakra governs your ability to speak clearly, express your needs, and share your authentic voice with the world.When the Throat Chakra is balanced, you feel confident expressing yourself, setting boundaries, and communicating with clarity and integrity. Your inner truth and outer expression align. But when it's blocked, you may struggle to speak up, swallow your feelings, or fear being misunderstood. An overactive throat chakra can show up as talking over others, defensiveness, or using words as protection rather than connection.In this episode, we explore what it truly means to express yourself from a place of authenticity — not performance. You'll learn how to soften fear around speaking your truth, how to listen deeply, and how to use your voice in a way that supports connection rather than conflict.This is your reminder that your voice is sacred. You were never meant to silence yourself — you were meant to speak from the depths of who you are.All my love, Hannah xoxoSupport the showThank you for listening.

In this inspiring episode of Grit, Grace, and Glitz, we sit down with Dr. Melissa Steach to hear her incredible journey of balancing a vibrant creative passion with a successful corporate career. She shares how understanding her "why" has been essential in embracing the seamless integration of her different roles and interests. Melissa emphasizes that thriving comes from nurturing all aspects of ourselves, rather than just surviving. Her story encourages us all to pursue our passions boldly while setting intentional boundaries, reminding us that perfection is neither necessary nor realistic — success often requires perseverance and grit. Throughout the episode, Melissa talks openly about the realities of entrepreneurship, the power of resilience, and the importance of staying true to your purpose. She reminds us that success is rarely overnight and that even the most well-known figures faced setbacks along the way. Melissa advocates for cultivating patience and confidence, trusting that our unique paths will unfold in their own time. Her heartfelt encouragement encourages us to lean into our purpose, celebrate every step forward, and approach life's endeavors with both grit and grace. Connect with Dr. Melissa:https://www.linkedin.com/in/melissasteach/Connect with your host, Erika:LinkedIn (primary)⁦https://www.linkedin.com/in/erikarothenberger⁩IG⁦https://www.instagram.com/erikalearothenberger?igsh=MmhjeTRhbnB1aXM2⁩FB⁦https://www.facebook.com/share/69wqEYVzFKKnci9u/?mibextid=LQQJ4d⁩

"If you consider God your Father, where is His honor? If you consider God your Master, where is His respect?" Do we know how to give honor and how to recognize dishonor, not in other's lives but in our own hearts? We must return back to true worship and authentic honor. Tune in to hear more about it.

In this insightful episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, Avik Chakraborty sits down with Racheal Blackmore, a certified interrogator, journalist, and former editor-in-chief, to explore the journey from invisibility to authentic self-expression. Racheal shares her personal story of surviving abuse, losing her voice while helping others find theirs, and the slow, transformative process of reclaiming her visibility. This conversation uncovers the challenges heart-led entrepreneurs face in showing up authentically, the impact of trauma on self-expression, and practical steps to confidently share your story while connecting deeply with your audience. About the Guest: Racheal Blackmore is a certified interrogator, trained journalist, and former editor-in-chief with over 14 years of experience helping creators uncover their truths through storytelling. After surviving abuse and losing her own voice, Racheal now empowers entrepreneurs and creators to break free from silence, claim their authenticity, and communicate in ways that create real connection and impact. Key Takeaways: Racheal's journey highlights how trauma can teach us to disappear, making invisibility a form of self-protection. Heart-led entrepreneurs often struggle with visibility not due to strategy, but due to nervous system responses rooted in fear of being seen. Working behind the scenes—ghostwriting, scripting, or following templates—can feel safe but may hinder personal growth and impact. Healing and authentic visibility are gradual processes that require listening to your body, honoring micro-moments, and safely stepping into self-expression. Racheal's “Connect Method” emphasizes starting with recognition of self and others' journeys as the foundation for meaningful connection. The episode challenges listeners to distinguish between using their presence as a shield versus as a service.
