Send us a textRecovery showed me that I abused and neglected myself physically, psychologically, emotionally, and spiritually.

Send us a text4 Flexibility Options Schools Need NOW to Retain Great TeachersIn this week's episode, I share something deeply personal that has been on my mind since I left the classroom full-time two years ago. The truth? I never stopped loving teaching or my students - I simply needed more flexibility than traditional school structures could offer.The Flexibility Crisis in EducationLet's be honest - teaching has become an all-or-nothing profession. You're either in the classroom full-time or completely out of education. This inflexible system is driving away talented educators who love teaching but need options that accommodate:Young children at homeAging parents requiring carePersonal health needsWork-life balanceIn this episode, I explore four potential solutions that could enable teachers to remain in the profession while enjoying more flexibility in their schedules.They include:1. Reimagined SabbaticalsNot just unpaid leave, but structured breaks (6 months to a year) with:Partial pay possibilitiesGuaranteed retention of tenureMaintained healthcare benefitsReturn-to-position guarantees2. Expanded Job SharesAllow two excellent teachers to split one full-time position:Flexible scheduling optionsMaintained benefits (critical improvement needed)Reduced burnoutPreserved institutional knowledgeCollaborative teaching partnershipsLess disruption for students3. Reduced Load ContractsCommon in higher education but rarely available in K-12:Teach fewer classes/sectionsPerfect for experienced educatorsOpportunity to bring back retired teachers as mentorsReduce burnout while maintaining connections4. Administrative Support SystemsAddress the number one complaint: "I love teaching - it's all the OTHER stuff that wears me out"Dedicated admin support for paperworkHelp with data entry, reporting, emailsGrade management assistanceParent communication supportReduced mental load for teachersBonus Idea: Professional "Break" BankCreate systems where teachers can donate time to colleagues needing mental health breaks - not just for physical illness.Remember: Flexible options aren't a sign of weakness - they're infrastructure for longevity a Want to truly thrive in teaching without sacrificing your personal life?

Send us a textBefore recovery, I had no idea how many areas of my life I didn't even perceive as having a choice in. I thought, ‘This is just the way it is; this is just how life works.' But one of the greatest freedoms recovery has given me is learning that I actually do have choices, and the greatest of those freedoms is the freedom to choose what I think and believe. This week's episode 313 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast is about how to go from victim mentality to empowered living!In this episode of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I share how I went from feeling powerless to living an empowered life by recognizing that I have choices! I delve into the concept of victim mentality, how our internalized beliefs can limit our choices and keep us feeling trapped in destructive patterns, and ultimately, how to choose peace and intentionality over reactivity. I encourage you to start by identifying one area in your life where you've been playing the victim.

Send us a textFor much of my life, I've known that one of my most hated human characteristics is arrogance. So, imagine my surprise when I learned in recovery that I was arrogant. Recovery also helped me understand that I hated it because it was something in me that I didn't like. And you know what we say in recovery: you spot it, you got it, and often, if you're spotting something regularly in other people, it's because you have it and probably don't like it. This week's episode 312 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast is about the humbling truth behind my need to rescue and how I got out of it. Some of the talking points I go over in this episode include:Recovery helped me realize that my desire to help others stemmed from the need for control and superiority. Pointing out the different types of arrogance: intellectual, moral, spiritual, and social. Strategies for overcoming the need to rescue or fix others (including some language to use when doing so). I encourage you to reflect on your own "helping" behaviors. Are you truly supporting others or subtly trying to control outcomes? Challenge yourself to approach relationships with genuine curiosity and respect for others' capabilities.Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of practical tips on living a more whole life and to hear even more about the points outlined above.Thank you for listening!

Send us a textWhen my homeless friend moved in with me, we often listened to music instead of NPR, which was typical for me at the time. I came to realize that replacing politics with music shifted my mood drastically. When I was no longer filling my ears with the horrible things happening in our world, I noticed how much more at peace I felt and how much of a game changer this was for me. This week's episode 311 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast is about choosing peace over panic- why I stopped watching the news. In this episode of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I'm sharing my transformative journey of prioritizing my mental health by stepping away from constant news consumption, some options if you want to limit your news intake, but don't want to be kept out of the loop completely, and a prayer you can read before watching the news should you choose to do so.A Prayer Before Reading the News Written by Rabbi Irwin Keller in early 2016  My God, the soul you have placed in me is pure and vulnerable. I am afraid that looking at today's news will be painful. Encircle me in a robe of lightso that I can witness the wounds of the world without being wounded myself. Let me learn what I need to know In order to be of greatest usewithout being overwhelmed by despair. I feel your protective light nowas I open myself to the world's suffering and the world's joys. Amen Remember, you are not obligated to be constantly informed about every world event. Your mental peace is more important than feeling perpetually anxious about things outside your control. Take a moment to evaluate how news consumption affects your daily life, and give yourself permission to make changes that support your emotional wellness.Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of practical tips on living a more whole life and to hear even more about the points outlined above.Thank you for listening!

This week's episode 311 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast is about choosing peace over panic- why I stopped watching the news. In this episode of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I'm sharing my transformative journey of prioritizing my mental health by stepping away from constant news consumption, some options if you want to limit your news intake, but don't want to be kept out of the loop completely, and a prayer you can read before watching the news should you choose to do so.A Prayer Before Reading the News Written by Rabbi Irwin Keller in early 2016  My God, the soul you have placed in me is pure and vulnerable. I am afraid that looking at today's news will be painful. Encircle me in a robe of lightso that I can witness the wounds of the world without being wounded myself. Let me learn what I need to know In order to be of greatest usewithout being overwhelmed by despair. I feel your protective light nowas I open myself to the world's suffering and the world's joys. Amen Remember, you are not obligated to be constantly informed about every world event. Your mental peace is more important than feeling perpetually anxious about things outside your control. Take a moment to evaluate how news consumption affects your daily life, and give yourself permission to make changes that support your emotional wellness.Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of practical tips on living a more whole life and to hear even more about the points outlined above.Thank you for listening!

Send us a textRegardless of how long I have been working with clients as a boundaries coach, I am still amazed by the mind-blowing revelations my clients have as a result of working with me. Today, I am sharing one of these profound experiences by sharing a story from “Sylvia,” one of my clients who confidently took back ownership of her life. This week's episode 308 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast is about how to go beyond ‘woe is me'- Sylvia's powerful shift to self-ownership. In this episode of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I'm sharing a story from a client call where, with the help of boundaries coaching, “Sylvia” was able to overcome years of trauma, workplace challenges, and personal struggles to emerge stronger and more confident. Some key takeaways I go over in this episode include:You have the right to set boundaries because you get to live your life the way YOU want. You don't have to engage with people who have hurt you. You don't need to explain yourself to everyone. You own your narrative; other people don't get to tell you who you are or were. Give yourself grace, treating yourself as you would a beloved friend. Sylvia's story is a powerful reminder that we all have the ability to change our narratives and reclaim our power– and that's something we can all learn from.Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of practical tips on living a more whole life and to hear even more about the points outlined above.Thank you for listening!

I'm thrilled to share my latest episode where I get real with Elizabeth Strenzel about the magic of setting boundaries. I've always believed that my health journey isn't just about the right diet or workout—it's about the boundaries I set for myself. In this Fit Girl Magic episode, Elizabeth, reveals her “aha” moment (passing out at her desk!) that pushed her to stop running on empty and start choosing herself. Here's What I Learned & Shared: Boundaries Are Verbs: Boundaries aren't just static rules—they're dynamic actions that help you show up better every day. The 9:30 Cutoff: Elizabeth is fiercely protecting of her evenings by not taking calls past 9:30. If it's not an emergency, it waits until tomorrow—because when she's cranky, nobody wins! DIY Scripts & Sassy Strategies: She shares her my favorite scripts to protect your boundaries and tips to help you communicate clearly and confidently, without feeling guilty. Mom & Me Moments: As a busy soul juggling it all, Elizabeth has learned that prioritizing self-care isn't selfish—it's essential. She also shares how I navigate boundaries with family and friends, turning chaos into creativity. If you're ready to ditch the burnout and reclaim your energy, this episode is your invitation to choose yourself without apology. Find Elizabeth on Instagram @boundariesoverbs for more insights.

Send us a textCodependency in relationships can be a complex cycle to break, especially when it comes to family members. We tend to tolerate toxic behaviors for the sake of love and loyalty. That's why today I wanted to unpack some of the myths around loyalty and tolerance in dysfunctional family dynamics and how true love requires setting healthy boundaries. This week's episode 303 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast is about breaking the codependency cycle!Some of the talking points I go over in this episode include:Love and loyalty do not mean tolerating abuse; when we excuse harmful behavior in the name of love, we're being loyal only to the dysfunction. True love includes boundaries, truth, and valuing yourself as a person, not just as a parent.The belief that "I don't matter" is a common issue for those in codependent relationships, leading them to prioritize the happiness of others over their own well-being.If you're struggling with codependency and setting boundaries in your relationships, know that you're not alone. Recovery is about unlearning patterns handed down to us and choosing a different way forward. It's never too late to change, and I am living proof of that. Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of practical tips on living a more whole life and to hear even more about the points outlined above.Thank you for listening!

Comments or feedback? Send us a text! Whether it's in our personal relationships, at work, or even with ourselves, boundaries are essential for our well-being and peace of mind.

In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Sharon Martin discuss insights from your new book "Better Boundaries Guided Journal" which offerings practical advice and thoughtful discussion on how to establish boundaries that protect our time, energy, and emotional health.  In this conversation we cover: what inspired her to create the "Better Boundaries Guided Journal"the most common misconceptions people have about setting boundaries.the flexible application of boundaries.overcoming the fear of conflict or potential for ejection that may come with setting boundaries.the role that guilt play in preventing people from setting boundaries, and how can someone work through these feelings?managing the challenge of connecting with resentment that has built up when we do start enforcing boundaries.  why clinicians may be particularly challenged with respect to implementing the very boundaries that they encourage for their clients.  the influence of family of origin on our boundary-setting abilities. boundaries as an extention of self-care.  the importance of recognizing personal rights in boundary-setting and how someone can begin to assert these rights in a way that feels authentic to them?helping clients who are considering putting hard boundaries between themselves and their family, including no contact.  enforcing boundaries within the workplace. setting realistic expectations around boundary setting and the reactions of others using boundary setting to evaluate the health of a relationship. Bio: Dr. Sharon Martin, LCSW is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and psychotherapist devoted to teaching clients to love and accept themselves.

Send us a textWe learn in recovery that the reason we continue to carry the message of recovery is that, yes, we want other people to recover. Still, first and foremost, we carry the message to continue recovering ourselves. So, for my 300th podcast episode, I wanted to reflect on my journey from numbing myself to finding freedom through recovery and how continuing to share the message of recovery has been transformative in my life. This week's episode 300 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast is about my journey from numbing to freedom!In this episode of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I'm celebrating the milestone of reaching 300 podcast episodes and recapping my story, highlighting the tools that aided my recovery and the spiritual awakenings that changed my life. Some of the talking points I go over in this episode include:How my numbing behaviors evolved throughout my life before recovery. The series of events that brought me to recovery in the first place. Tools and lessons learned along the way that I now help others with. Some of the spiritual awakenings that shifted the way I view my life and situations. Why I continue to carry on the message of recovery. Again, thank you so much for joining me on this journey to 300 podcast episodes.
