In this episode, we step into the world of boundaries — what they are, why they matter, and how they can transform our relationships with ourselves and others.We're joined by the brilliant Ann Weiser Cornell — American author, educator, and worldwide authority on Focusing, the self‑inquiry psychotherapeutic technique developed by Eugene Gendlin — for a conversation that deeply moved us (it even brought Gwen to tears!)If you've ever said ‘yes' when you meant ‘no', struggled to speak up for your needs, or wondered how boundaries and healing are connected — this episode is for you.We explore:How to actually feel what we want and need (and use that to make better decisions)Why our inner child — desperate to belong — still influences our people‑pleasingWhy Ann believes there's no such thing as being selfishWhy she chooses not to do what's merely convenient, but instead what truly mattersHow to say ‘no' without guilt (and still honour the other person)How setting healthy boundaries can be a huge part of trauma healingAnn has been teaching Focusing all over the world since 1980 and is one of its leading voices. She has written several definitive books and created transformative courses — including 21 Days to Better Boundaries and The Power of Focusing — and developed Inner Relationship Focusing, expanding on Gendlin's original work.More about Ann:Website: Focusing Resources - Inner Relationship FocusingBook & courses: 21 days to better boundaries 21 Days to Better BoundariesAnd here's a link to the Get Bigger Than What's Bugging You courseFor all RUMP info in one place: visit our linkt.ree Get a shout-out:Want a mention on the next RUMPette?

Msg me "ACADEMY"   for details on Your BINGE FREE Life Academy where you get  personalized coaching & mentorship to becoming BINGE FREE for life.In this episode, I'm bringing on a special guest, Christine, who's been a powerhouse in her own transformation journey inside the Academy. From battling binge eating to embracing her intuition, boundaries, and self-love, Christine went from struggling with obsessing over what she was eating, using food for comfort when emotions hit to becoming empowered, grounded, and fully committed to a life where she is in the driver seat, not food.Christine shares her journey of going from the membership to the Academy, where she gained not only control over her relationship with food but also deeper insights into herself. This journey wasn't just about food, it's been about learning to listen to her body, set boundaries, and show up for herself in every area of her life. We talk about how she was able to normalize foods she once binged on (she had dried mangos in her pantry for 8 months and completely forgot that they were even there) and how she built a sustainable lifestyle that feels effortless and empowering.Key Takeaways:How committing to long-term growth leads to lasting transformation in your relationship with food.The power of trusting your intuition to make decisions that align with your true self.Why setting boundaries is key to emotional freedom and overcoming self-destructive behaviuors.How food becomes effortless when you stop seeing it as “good” or “bad” and instead tune into what your body needs.Real-life stories of how Christine was able to move beyond binge eating and become the confident, grounded woman she is today. She says "the best project I'll ever work on is myself"

With candor, he shines a bright light on the real costs of design at a certain echelon of the industry. He also explains how a shift toward cultivating deeper relationships helped him find the right size for his firm, why landing celebrity clients isn't always all it's cracked up to be, and why he's thinking bigger as he embarks on the next stage of his career.This episode was sponsored by Lutron and Serena & Lily. LINKSAdam HunterKaitlin PetersenBusiness of Home

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!

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?

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.

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!
