Welcome back to Truth, Lies & Work, the award-winning psychology podcast from the HubSpot Podcast Network — hosted by Chartered Occupational Psychologist Leanne Elliott and business owner Al Elliott. This week, we're taking on a big leadership myth: that kindness is weakness. Alongside guest Jeff LeBlanc — lecturer, Forbes-featured strategist, and creator of the Engaged Empathy Leadership Model — we unpack what kindness really means in a leadership context. Not just whether it works, but whether we're defining it all wrong. From setting boundaries to building trust, Jeff shares real-world examples and practical strategies to make kindness a powerful leadership tool — not just a feel-good slogan.

Lately, I've been struggling with something I didn't have a name for until recently - demand avoidance. Tasks that used to feel manageable, like switching laundry or clearing the counter, suddenly feel heavy, frustrating, or impossible. Even the things I want to do are met with resistance, and it's been hard to understand why.After doing some research, I realized this is something a lot of people with ADHD deal with, and I'm not alone. In this episode, I'm sharing what I've learned about demand avoidance, why it's been showing up so strongly in my life, and how it often gets worse as we get older and take on more responsibilities.I'll also walk you through the strategies I've started trying, what's helped, what hasn't, and how I'm learning to work with my brain instead of fighting against it.If you've been feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or frustrated with yourself, this episode is for you. You are not lazy or broken. Let's talk about what's really going on and how to move forward with more self-compassion and less pressure.Follow along & connect:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thejaimemclaughlin/Website: https://www.jaimemclaughlin.com

We've all had moments where we watch ourselves make the exact wrong choice: procrastinating on an important task, picking a fight in a good relationship, or pulling back just when things are starting to go well. This is self-sabotage, and in this episode Dr. Rick and Forrest explore why we do it and how to stop. They talk about how self-sabotage often serves as a form of psychological self-protection, and why doing well can feel like a threat to our identity, before discussing avoidance coping, the conflict between aspects of who we are, and why we stay safe rather than stepping forward. Along the way, they offer practical strategies for updating outdated internal models, working with different parts of ourselves, and building the inner resources that make real change possible.

Inner Work Coaching is a raw, real, personalized experience.--Understanding and Healing Trauma: A Guide to Emotional FreedomIn this episode of "It's Not You, It's Your Trauma," Joe Ryan explores the profound connection between trauma, fear, and connection. He emphasizes that many of us avoid uncomfortable feelings—whether through busyness, substances, or distraction—because we're afraid of our body's reactions and the pain they bring.Joe highlights that our deep desire for connection often clashes with our fear of intimacy, especially if we've experienced childhood neglect or abuse. This disconnect from ourselves manifests as anxiety, panic, shame, and emotional numbness. To heal, he advocates for getting comfortable with discomfort by intentionally sitting with our feelings, particularly in quiet, safe environments. This exposure helps tame the "beast" of unresolved trauma.He stresses that addiction is often a misguided attempt to numb these feelings, but ultimately, every addiction fails and worsens emotional suffering. Instead, Ryan encourages reconnecting with the "inner child"—the vulnerable part of ourselves that was silenced or abandoned in childhood—and integrating these suppressed emotions into our adult consciousness.The process involves recognizing that feelings are energy in motion that need to be felt and released. Avoidance only deepens the pain and shrinks our world. Through mindful presence, breathing into discomfort, and allowing ourselves to feel, we can begin to heal and reclaim emotional freedom. Ryan assures that while this work can be challenging, it is essential for long-term well-being and authenticity.---Would you like a shorter or more detailed version?- Website: https://joeryan.com- Instagram: https://instagram.com/joeryan- Subscribe: https://joeryan.com/subscribe/- Coaching: https://joeryan.com/coaching/

The gender divide is tearing through every corner of our lives right now, and honestly? It's fucking confusing out there. While ambitious women are crushing it in boardrooms and lecture halls, we're watching a crisis of masculinity unfold in real time—and the dating challenges that follow are enough to make you want to swipe left on humanity altogether.How did we get to a place where traditional gender roles feel both completely outdated and weirdly appealing again, where toxic masculinity battles with something called "tonic masculinity," and where the trad wife movement is somehow trending on the same timeline as record-breaking female college enrollment? If you're watching this cultural battlefield from the middle like I am, wondering what the hell happened to just... connecting with people, then buckle up because we're about to unpack why everyone feels so damn lost.In today's episode, we're talking about everything from the rise of incels to why Gen Z is rushing back to church, plus the real tea on why building meaningful friendships in adulthood feels harder than landing your dream job. This isn't about picking sides—it's about understanding how gender and mental health, modern family dynamics, and our collective fear of rejection are shaping the way we love, work, and show up in the world.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why the gender divide is creating an 80/20 dating crisis that's leaving high-achieving women struggling to find equal partnersThe shocking data behind the crisis of masculinity—including why suicide rates among young men are skyrocketing and what it means for all of usHow toxic masculinity versus tonic masculinity is reshaping what it means to be a man in 2025 (and why Tim Walz is the perfect example)The real political agenda behind the trad wife movement and why "prairie core" isn't as innocent as those sourdough starters make it seemWhy 60% of college students are now women and how this educational flip is changing modern family gender roles foreverThe connection between avoidance of pain, dating challenges, and why everyone's rushing back to traditional gender normsHow ambitious women are burning out trying to prove their worth while simultaneously being told to "lean back" into feminine energyThe surprising strategy for building deep friendships in adulthood that actually works (hint: it involves getting comfortable with rejection)If this episode hit a nerve, GOOD! It means you're awake and ready to stop avoiding the hard conversations that actually change things. The state of gender roles is playing out in every boardroom, bedroom, and dating app, and understanding why we've ended up here gives you serious power to navigate it all differently.So tell me: which part of this cultural shift resonates most with your own experience? Are you feeling the dating struggles, the friendship challenges, or maybe you're questioning everything you thought you knew about modern gender norms?If you're ready to build something meaningful in your business, relationships, or leadership while working through any of this cultural chaos, book a free strategy call with me at allisonhare.com/freecall to find your voice in this shifting landscape.Links & Mentioned Resources"The Mask You Live In" - Documentary by Jennifer Newsome (Gavin Newsom's wife) about how boys are socialized to suppress emotionsThe Lost Boys Study - Research from The Center for Social Justice (UK-based organization) examining educational and economic disparities affecting young menEmily in Your Phone - Substack newsletter by Emily Amick discussing the political undertones of the tradwife movementLaunch your podcast - Book a free clarity call with AllisonNotable Time Stamps00:01 - Episode introduction: The elephant in the gender studies room and why everything feels confusing right now02:30 - Growing up in the 90s: How women were socialized to be small, pleasant, and pick-me girls06:45 - The makeup bag story: Personal reflection on teenage socialization and the need to "present perfectly"09:15 - The Lost Boys Study: Data on how men are struggling educationally, economically, and mentally12:20 - Male suicide crisis: Why suicide is now the leading cause of death for men under 5014:10 - "The Mask You Live In" documentary discussion: How boys are limited to only two emotions17:35 - Toxic vs. tonic masculinity explained (Tim Walz as an example)19:45 - The incel movement and Andrew Tate's influence on frustrated young men25:30 - The tradwife movement: Political undertones behind the "prairie core" aesthetic31:20 - Personal story: Leaving corporate job and unlearning "never rely on a man" messaging36:15 - Modern dating crisis: The 80/20 problem and educational gender flip40:25 - Friendship struggles: The shame of not having a best friend as a high-performing woman43:50 - Coach Dara's friendship strategy: Being upfront about wanting deep connections48:30 - Avoidance of pain as the root of cultural problems52:15 - Final thoughts on connection, rejection, and getting out of comfort zones Be sure to rate, review, and follow this podcast on your player and also, connect with me IRL for more goodness and life-changing stuff.Schedule a FREE podcast clarity call with me - Your future audience is out there.

This week I'm joined by Tanya Gallagher, MD and founder of Limitless Leadership, an award-winning leadership development consultancy. Tanya brings a wealth of wisdom to the space of leadership development, and what stood out to me most in our conversation is just how practical and human her definition of extra-Ordinary leadership is.We dig into the difference between good, bad, and terrible leadership, and what it really means to take ownership. It's a conversation that will shift how you see your role as a leader. We discuss psychological safety, promotion dynamics, and the underrated power of what Tanya calls “contracting conversations”—those small yet powerful exchanges that can transform working relationships.If you've ever avoided a conversation because it felt awkward, if you've ever felt resentment building under the surface, or if you're leading people without ever asking what they need from you, this episode is for you.

In this episode of the Sex with Emily podcast, Dr. Emily teams up with Dr. Scott Lyons, a licensed holistic psychologist and trauma expert, to tackle one of the most common relationship challenges: when sex starts feeling like just another item on your to-do list. From exploring why intimacy can lose its spark to practical strategies for reigniting desire, this conversation gets to the heart of what happens when pleasure becomes obligation. We dive deep into the psychology behind sexual disconnection, examining how stress, routine, and unspoken resentments can transform what should be joyful into something that feels burdensome. Dr. Scott shares insights on nervous system regulation and how our bodies respond when we're overwhelmed, while Dr. Emily offers practical advice on communication, scheduling intimacy, and the importance of prioritizing pleasure throughout the week—not just in the bedroom. This episode addresses the reality that many couples face: mismatched libidos, the pressure to perform, and the challenge of maintaining sexual connection amid life's demands. We explore how to shift from duty-based sex to desire-driven intimacy, the role of variety and spontaneity in long-term relationships, and why "priming for pleasure" throughout the week is essential for a fulfilling sex life.

For a long time the central part of our galaxy was mostly hidden from us because of all the dust. It was even called the Zone of Avoidance. But with better telescopes and modern techniques we can peer inside and reveal what's hiding. Even build 3D-maps of the region.

In this heartfelt episode of the Next Level Podcast, Brianna McIntyre steps in for Michael to explore a deeply personal and relatable topic: avoidance. Speaking candidly from her own experience, Brianna shares how seasons of hiding or silence—sometimes spiritual, sometimes fear-based—can lead to a subtle kind of stuckness. She unpacks how comfort zones can masquerade as wisdom, and how true growth often begins with recognizing where we've avoided action, emotion, or even God's prompting. Through gentle insight and spiritual encouragement, Brianna invites listeners to examine their own hearts, pray for clarity, and take just one brave step forward. The episode closes with a powerful prayer over listeners, releasing them into supernatural clarity, compassion, and actionable peace.

In this episode we'll discuss the concept of relational bypassing, a pattern where individuals avoid emotional pain in relationships, particularly after infidelity. This behavior can hinder intimacy and healing, so there is a real importance of emotional presence and truth in rebuilding the trust. Key Takeaways: Relational bypassing can kill intimacy in relationships. Fixing without hearing leads to disconnection. Emotional shortcutting delays healing. What we resist stays stuck; what we feel can move. Both partners in infidelity need to process their emotions. Avoidance strategies prevent real connection. Emotional presence is crucial for rebuilding trust. Truth must come from a real place for healing. Controlling the narrative can be a form of bypassing. Choosing connection over comfort fosters intimacy.

How much of your life is cluttered with things that distract from your true priorities?Today Art speaks with professional organizer Angie Hyche. Angie reveals her five-year struggle with fear before finally pursuing her calling as a certified pro organizer. Her story begins in a theater prop room where she discovered her obsession with bringing order to chaos. Yet fear kept her in a safe school job until a bike trail conversation with her husband changed everything. "There are thousands of people less intelligent than you starting businesses," he said. That moment of courage launched not just a business, but a complete transformation of character.Angie's wisdom goes far beyond physical organizing. She courageously admits to avoiding God through busyness and mental clutter. "I can have a full schedule and be promoting my business, yet I'm not taking time to spend with God," she confesses. Her definition of clutter as "anything that distracts from priorities" revolutionizes how we view our stuff, schedules, and spiritual lives. What would change if you stopped avoiding the "horrible alone" and pushed past fear to discover what's calling you?Angie Hyche is an author, speaker, podcaster, and retired certified professional organizer (CPO®) who helps people overwhelmed with clutter in their homes, schedules, or minds. She spent 7+ years working in client homes, believing only by eliminating what doesn't matter can we prioritize what does. Her books include "Unholy Mess: What the Bible Says about Clutter" and "Uncluttered: Shaping Your Heart & Home for What Matters Most" with co-author Liana George. Living in East Tennessee with husband Eric, Angie's goal is helping people declutter their lives to focus on what's most important.About The Show: The Life in Transition, hosted by Art Blanchford focuses on making the most of the changes we're given every week. Art has been through hundreds of transitions in his life. Many have been difficult, but all have led to a depth and richness he could never have imagined. On the podcast Art explores how to create more love and joy in life, no matter what transitions we go through. Art is married to his lifelong partner, a proud father of three and a long-time adventurer and global business executive. He is the founder and leader of the Midlife Transition Mastery Community.

This about about diving deep into your greatest fears lying in the Shadow. Confront What You Fear. There is no other choice. Confrontation fears does not ensure a successful outcome. Avoidance of your fears guarantees failure, only resulting in a delayed manifestation of your worst fears.In this episode, we explore how Luke Skywalker obtained the power of the Force by confronting and experiencing his greatest fear. It is not one of the ways to solve your greatest challenges. It is. The Way. Only those that have confronted their Dark Side can be trusted with the power of the Force.

In this episode of Authentically ADHD, we dive deep into a behavior that many ADHDers know all too well: ghosting. Whether it's avoiding difficult conversations or disappearing unexpectedly from social situations, ghosting isn't about lack of care—it's about how our brains process and react to emotional stress. Carmen explores the neuroscience behind social avoidance in ADHD, explaining how executive dysfunction, emotional intensity, and dopamine dynamics contribute to the impulse to withdraw.Through a blend of science and real-life anecdotes, this episode reveals why ADHD brains struggle with navigating challenging interactions and how this can lead to patterns of avoidance. Carmen then shares practical, science-backed strategies for managing social avoidance, including recognizing triggers, developing communication scripts, utilizing time management techniques, practicing mindfulness, and building supportive networks.By the end of the episode, listeners will have actionable tools to improve their communication skills and foster healthier, more understanding relationships. Tune in for a compassionate exploration of how ADHD affects social behavior and why it's time to stop ghosting—and start engaging with confidence.show notes with minutes Get full access to carmen_authenticallyadhd at carmenauthenticallyadhd.substack.com/subscribe

My guest is Dr. Mary-Frances O'Connor, PhD, Professor of Clinical Psychology and Psychiatry at the University of Arizona and a world expert on the science of grief and loss. We discuss what happens in the brain and body when we grieve, the role of dopamine and yearning in the grieving process, the health risks of getting stuck at particular stages of grief and how to move through loss while also deeply honoring the person, animal or thing that is no longer with us. Dr. O'Connor explains that grief involves cycling back and forth between protest and despair (often guilt and anger too) and explains science-supported ways to move through that process in the healthiest possible way. Everyone experiences grief and loss at some point. Dr. O'Connor provides valuable knowledge and tools to help you navigate grief under any circumstance.

In this episode, we address a common concern among families—distinguishing between a child's anxiety and personal preferences. We explore how to identify if a child's behavior is driven by anxiety or simply a lack of interest in certain activities. Tune in to gain insights on this important topic and learn strategies to better understand your child's needs. Don't forget to rate, review, and subscribe to my podcast for more valuable content!Takeaways: Understanding the distinction between a child's anxiety and their preferences is crucial. Avoidance behaviors in children may indicate anxiety, requiring careful observation and support. Encouraging children to experiment with their fears can help differentiate anxiety from preference. Social anxiety often overlaps with introversion, necessitating nuanced approaches for understanding children's behaviors. Parents should consider their child's interests and motivations when addressing anxiety-related issues. Regular engagement in anxiety-provoking situations can enhance a child's coping skills and resilience. Links referenced in this episode:childanxietysupport.com/podcast

During a recent retreat I led for my business coaching clients, we had the opportunity to do a deep dive into visibility avoidance.  We discussed this phenomenon that happens when we want to grow in new ways, but the prospect of heightened visibility holds us back.  Sometimes, when we take steps into higher visibility opportunities, we are excited by the outcomes.  But, shortly after the perceived win, we feel a sense of vulnerability that pulls us back to our pre-visibility zone of comfort, and we determine that pre-visibility space is the safer or more appropriate place for us to stay for the time being.   Visibility can be wildly uncomfortable.  It can bring up a lot of thoughts, feelings, and beliefs in which we create swirling narratives that are more harmful than helpful.  When we get stuck here, we stunt our own growth.  We shrink ourselves.  We play small.  We allow ourselves to tap into only a fraction of our full potential.   In this episode, we explore the concept of visibility avoidance and highlight the common underlying self-limiting beliefs that hinder your personal and professional growth. I talk through how specific thought patterns undermine behavior patterns, keeping you accepting less than the best for yourself.  Then, I give you simple steps for overcoming visibility avoidance that will allow you to strategically increase visibility through small steps over time, allowing you to reach those goals you've been dreaming of in a way that feels exciting and rewarding!  This episode will help you recognize the payoffs of stepping into your full potential when you do it in a way that feels safe and aligned with who you are and where you want to go.  Episode Highlights: 00:00 The Magic of Expansive Time 04:14 Understanding Visibility Avoidance 12:03 Overcoming Self-Limiting Beliefs 16:18 Strategies for Increasing Visibility 24:47 Embracing Vulnerability and Growth Links Mentioned: Hire me to speak: saradean.com/speaking Coach with me: https://saradean.com/executive-coaching-services Connect with me on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/saradeanspeaks Interested in becoming a sponsor of the Shameless Mom Academy?

Today our favorite counselors, David Thomas and Sissy Goff, are back to talk about their new project- children's books!
