Podcasts about boundaries

“How to be more confident” is one of the most common things people tell me they want, and also one of the most misunderstood. If you've ever thought, “I'll finally feel confident once I calm my anxiety, stop second-guessing myself, or stop worrying about what other people think,” this conversation offers a very different starting point. In this episode of Love, Happiness and Success, I'm joined by Dr. Aziz Gazipura to talk about confidence as something deeper than appearances or bravado. I'm revisiting this episode on why confidence is really about your relationship with yourself, how social anxiety and people-pleasing quietly erode self-trust, and why trying to look confident often leaves people feeling more anxious and disconnected. We also talk about the inner critic as a misguided safety system, how avoidance keeps anxiety alive, and why confidence grows through practice, self-compassion, and supported risk-taking rather than positive thinking alone. If you struggle with social anxiety, harsh self-talk, or the habit of saying yes when you mean no, this conversation offers a steadier, more realistic way forward. As you listen, I'd invite you to reflect on this: Where in your life have you been trying to feel confident without being on your own side? And what might shift if confidence started with how you treat yourself when things feel uncomfortable or imperfect?

Moving back in with family can awaken old wounds faster than years of personal growth can prepare us for. In this first coaching episode of 2026, Christine supports Sarah, who recently returned to the United States after six years abroad and is temporarily living with her parents. What she expected to be a short transition has turned into a deep emotional reckoning with childhood patterns, triggers, and the urge to "fix" family dynamics. Christine helps Sarah understand how protector parts, formed in childhood, take over when old environments reactivate unresolved trauma. Together, they explore how to release long-held anger safely, set boundaries that are actually enforceable, and begin reparenting the inner child with compassion rather than control. If family interactions leave you feeling dysregulated, angry, or guilty, this episode will help you see those reactions through a new lens and give you tools to stop trying to change your parents and start changing how you care for yourself.   Consider / Ask Yourself: Do you feel like all your growth disappears the moment you go home? Are you the family fixer, peacekeeper, or emotional mediator? Do you struggle with guilt or rage after spending time with your parents? Are you trying to set "boundaries" that you cannot actually control?   Key Insights and A-HAs: The urge to fix family dynamics often comes from a childhood protector part trying to create safety. What feels like "I can't help it" is usually a trauma-based habit, not a true lack of choice. Asking someone to change is a request, not a boundary. Boundaries are about what you will do. Rage is often stored grief from unmet childhood needs and must be safely released. Your inner child learns to trust you only through consistency, not intention.   How to Deepen the Work: When you feel the impulse to fix, pause and thank that part for trying to protect you. Create a release valve for anger such as screaming into a pillow, shaking your body, or release writing. Practice leaving triggering situations instead of confronting them in the moment. Reparent your inner child through consistent safety rather than promises of change. Ask yourself: "What can I do right now that I actually control?"   Coaching with Christine Christine currently has just two remaining openings in her private one-on-one coaching practice.

"This year didn't knock me out all at once — it chipped away at me. And somehow, that's what taught me surrender, trust, and confidence." -Kristen Olson "I don't need to have the whole plan — I just need the courage to keep showing up, trusting the work, and letting the next step reveal itself." -Ashley Knight Every year, we sit down for one of our most meaningful conversations of the entire season — our annual Year in Review and Year in Preview, and for the seventh year running, I'm joined by the one and only Ashley Simone Knight . This episode isn't about perfection or polished highlight reels. It's about real reflection, honest growth, deep gratitude, and setting intentions for what's next — personally, professionally, and spiritually. Together, Ashley and I unpack what 2025 actually looked like behind the scenes: the breakdowns, the breakthroughs, the lessons in timing, confidence, surrender, community, and what it really means to keep showing up when you're tired but still called. We talk about: Why 2025 felt like a year of being broken down — and rebuilt The power of confidence after doing the work Letting go of control and learning to surrender without quitting The role of community, mentors, and chosen family Navigating career uncertainty, relationships, and self-trust Why "being yourself" is not easy — but it's valuable How rest, fun, and alignment are non-negotiables moving into 2026 As we look ahead, we share what we're hoping for in 2026 — not rigid goals, but intentions rooted in peace, flow, abundance, love, health, and clarity. If you're closing out a year feeling exhausted but hopeful… If you're entering a new season unsure but still willing… If you need a reminder that you're not behind — you're becoming… This episode is for you.

If you've ever told yourself "I know I need boundaries, I just can't seem to hold them," this episode is for you. In Episode 4 of 6 in the Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents series, we explore why boundaries feel so hard — and why that struggle actually makes sense when you understand the emotional environments many of us grew up in. For children raised by emotionally immature parents, boundaries weren't neutral. They were emotional risks. Needs were often dismissed, minimized, or met with guilt, withdrawal, or conflict. Over time, many children learned that connection required self-sacrifice. In this episode, we discuss: What boundaries actually are (and what they are not) Why "just say no" advice often doesn't work How guilt, anxiety, and fear get tied to boundaries The role the nervous system plays in boundary-setting Common misconceptions about being "bad at boundaries" Why compassion — not force — is the foundation of change This episode isn't about pushing yourself to have stronger boundaries. It's about understanding why your body learned that boundaries weren't safe — and how awareness creates choice.

What happens when you stay quiet for too long in your relationship?In this powerful episode of She Believed She Could, Alison Walsh sits down with licensed couples therapist, author, and podcast host Colette Jane Fehr to explore why self-silencing, avoidance, and unhealthy communication patterns quietly erode intimacy and connection. Drawing from over 13 years of clinical experience and her upcoming book The Cost of Quiet, Colette breaks down the criticize–defend cycle, attachment styles, and the real reasons couples feel stuck, disconnected, or on the brink of divorce.This conversation is honest, compassionate, and deeply practical—offering hope, clarity, and tools for anyone who wants healthier communication, stronger relationships, and the confidence to speak their truth.Connect with Colette Fehr:Instagram: @colettejanefehrWebsite: colettefehr.comPre-Order Cost of Quiet 

Heartbreak can turn even the strongest among us into tireless editors of the past. We replay scenes, bargain with “what if,” and try to outrun regret. This conversation changes that script. With transformation specialist Dr. Dravon James, we explore forgiveness not as a soft ideal but as a rigorous, practical pathway to real happiness. Acceptance—“it is what it is”—stops sounding like surrender and starts feeling like authorship. As Dravon says, you can't change a yellow wall to blue without first naming yellow.We dive into a blank-canvas practice that's equal parts tender and disarming: release old labels, whisper “I am nothing,” and notice what appears. From that openness, the questions sharpen: Which version of me is complete? What wants to be created now? Along the way, we trade perfection for progress and explore how safety in relationships grows when we allow the power of “no.” Boundaries become bridges when consent enters hard conversations and curiosity replaces assumption. That's where real repair begins.Dravon's insights on self-trust come alive here: before self-love, rebuild faith in your own choices by noticing how often you've already shown up for yourself. When we tune into that inner station, synchronicity feels less like luck and more like alignment. Sometimes the truth within says a long relationship has run its course. Hearing it is hard. Ignoring it is harder.If you're ready to stop punishing yourself, to let “no” deepen intimacy rather than threaten it, and to turn heartbreak into wisdom you can actually use, this episode is for you. Listen, share it with someone who needs a softer way forward, and leave a review so more people can find their path to everyday peace. Then tell us: what label are you ready to set down today?Connect with Dr. Dravon James:Website: https://drdravonjames.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/drdravonjamesFacebook:  www.facebook.com/everydaypeacewithdrdravonjamesBook: Forgiveness: The Pathway to HappinessChelsea Leigh Trescott: Email: chelsea@breakupward.com Instagram: https://instagram.com/thankyouheartbreak Advice Column: https://www.huffpost.com Writing: https://thoughtcatalog.com/chelsea-leigh-trescott

As we step into a new year, I want to talk today about something that sounds really simple, but in my experience has the power to quietly change everything about how we work, how we earn, and how we show up every day. This year, my word is boundaries. And today, I'm walking you through why boundaries, not hustle, not motivation, not another strategy, are often the missing piece between intentional growth and sustainable success. So I'm going to share the boundary that would have changed everything for me in 2025, the boundaries I'm actively putting into place for this coming year, 2026, and how you can identify the one boundary that would make the biggest difference in your own business this year.

With a career spanning over four decades, John has built multiple multi-million-dollar companies and dedicated his life to helping millions break through self-imposed limits. He is recognized for translating complex neuroscience into practical strategies for personal and professional growth, focusing on the power of identity, mindset, and the mechanics of the brain. John's mission is to empower others to engineer success from the inside out and unlock their full potential. Takeaways: Identity Drives Change: John emphasizes that true, lasting change begins with transforming your identity—how you see yourself—since you will never outperform your own self-image. The Brain is Wired for Safety, Not Success: Our brains are naturally designed to keep us safe and avoid pain, not to achieve success. Recognizing and consciously working with this wiring is critical to overcoming self-sabotage and achieving new levels. Upgrade Your Inner Software: Just like technology, your beliefs, habits, and identity are ‘software' that can be intentionally upgraded through practice, self-awareness, and emotional regulation—leading to greater achievement in all areas of life. Sound Bytes: “We will never, ever, ever outperform our hidden self-image of ourselves.” “Our brain is wired to keep us safe, not successful.” “You can practice a new identity the same way a basketball player practices free throws—until it becomes automatic.” Connect & Discover John: Website: johnassaraf.com Facebook: @johnassarafpage Instagram: @johnassaraf X: @johnassaraf LinkedIn: @johnassaraf YouTube: @JohnAssaraf Website: myneurogym.com

Have an episode suggestion? Text us!In this Mindset Monday, Matt drops a handful of hard-earned lessons from the last month, pulled straight from the notes app, the place where the real thoughts live before the world distracts you out of them.He breaks down why boundaries are one of the most misunderstood concepts in relationships, and why they rarely fix an emotionally immature person, but often do deliver the clarity you have been avoiding. Then he tackles a brutal question for anyone stuck in justification mode. If the behavior is working, why do you keep trying to cut back, manage it, or quit in private?From there, Matt offers a permission slip a lot of people need. There is a difference between processing your pain and keeping it alive. Healing matters, but constantly revisiting the same trauma can become its own kind of trap. And finally, he goes after a sacred cow, acceptance. Yes, acceptance can save your sanity and build resilience, but it can also turn into complacency and keep you tolerating chaos you should not have to survive.If you are in recovery, in a relationship affected by addiction, or on the other side trying to rebuild your life, this episode is a gut check in the best way. Clarity over comfort, wisdom over coping, and growth that actually moves you forward.Find video clips and full length video from this episode on YouTube and our other social media pages!On the web:www.twfo.comSupport the Show:Buy Us a Coffee!Online Program: www.independentlystrong.comSoberlink Device:www.soberlink.com/wheelsCheck out our blog:https://twfo.com/blogFollow us on TikTok:https://tiktok.com/@twfo_coupleFollow us on Instagram:https://instagram.com/twfo_couple/Follow us on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/TWFOCoupleFollow us on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@twfo_coupleFind Taylor Counseling Group:https://taylorcounselinggroup.com/Donate to Counseling for the Future Foundation:Donate Here

Send us a textIn this week's episode of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I'm exploring attachment from a different angle and sharing how boundaries and recovery can actually create secure attachment, even if you didn't grow up with it.Instead of focusing on attachment labels, we look at how internal safety, self-trust, and boundaries change the way we show up in romantic relationships.Some of the talking points I go over in this episode include:The difference between anxious, avoidant, disorganized, and secure attachment and how they often show up in adult relationshipsHow self-abandonment fuels insecure attachment patterns like chasing, distancing, and resentmentWhy boundaries aren't about pushing people away, but about staying connected to yourselfHow boundary work creates internal safety and builds self-trust over timeWhy secure attachment can be developed in adulthood through recovery and consistent boundary practiceSecure attachment isn't something you either got in childhood or missed forever. When you stop abandoning yourself, you stop building abandonment into your relationships. Boundaries help you stay present, grounded, and connected to who you are, so relationships stop feeling like life or death and start feeling safe.Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive practical tools for building emotional safety, healthier relationships, and a more whole life.Thank you for listening.

The “new year, fresh start” energy feels exciting, but can also be overwhelming! This episode cuts through the noise with a refreshingly simple approach to goal setting. Instead of complicated systems, you'll focus on just two questions: what you want to do more of this year and what you want to do less of, both personally and in your science classroom. We'll talk about prioritizing yourself, identifying energy and time drains, getting specific with your goals, and making small, flexible shifts that actually stick. By the end, you'll have a clear, manageable direction for the semester...and maybe even the motivation to reset alongside your science team!➡️ Show Notes: https://itsnotrocketscienceclassroom.com/episode216Resources Mentioned:Shop INRS full year curriculum bundles.Complete unitsWinter science freebiesCore Values Mini-Course SSS Virtual PD Course BundleDownload your FREE Classroom Reset Challenge.Take the Free Labs When Limited virtual PD courseSend me a DM on Instagram: @its.not.rocket.scienceSend me an email: rebecca@itsnotrocketscienceclassroom.com  Follow, rate, and review on Apple Podcasts.Follow, rate, and comment on Spotify.Related Episodes and Blog Posts:Episode 55, Goal Setting for the New Year - A Different ApproachEpisode 56, Scheduling Rest - Why You Need to And How to Do ItEpisode 111, Priorities and Boundaries in the New YearEpisode 165, How Naming What Matters Most Can Change the Rest of Your School YearJanuary 4th - 10th, I will be doing my BIGGEST sale of the year with DAILY discounts that are exclusively for my email list.

This episode is about beginning the new year without pressure, panic, or performance.Instead of “New Year, New Me,” I'm talking about what it looks like to enter this next chapter softly, intentionally, and regulated carrying the lessons without carrying the weight.In this episode, I share:✨ Why I'm letting go of rushed resolutions✨ What softness actually means and what it doesn't✨ How I'm setting boundaries without hardening✨ Carrying wisdom forward without dragging the past✨ Intentions my body can actually keep✨ Choosing peace without waiting for permissionIf you're feeling unsure, tired, or resistant to the pressure of starting over, this episode is an invitation to slow down and begin in a way that feels true to you.No rushing.No reinventing.Just presence.Because this… This Is Healing.

Have you ever caught yourself thinking, “If you felt what I feel, you'd drink too”? Chuck gets that. For years, a combination of work stress, long commutes, and intense back pain had him pouring more than he ever planned. Drinks became his “off switch” at the end of the day and then his go-to whenever his body flared. Eventually, the pain calmed down and the stressful job shifted, but the habit of drinking stuck around—which was the wake-up call he couldn't ignore. In this episode, Chuck and Coach Cole talk through the messy, human side of quitting alcohol when you have chronic pain, including what happened when his back suddenly “went out” again after months alcohol-free. Chuck shares how appropriate medical care, a short course of prescribed meds, and a strong internal “I am not starting over” helped him stay off the bottle. You'll hear how he rebuilt his routine around daily stretching, core strength, and even a zero-gravity nap, plus why music and creative hobbies feel better than any buzz. They also dig into boundaries—leaving family gatherings early, pushing back (diplomatically) at work, and deciding he no longer has to sit and absorb other people's behavior to be polite. If you've ever wondered whether you can rebuild your life around what you love instead of avoiding what hurts, this conversation is for you. Coach Cole and Chuck discuss: Slipping from teenage partying into midlife self-medication with alcohol Realizing the job and pain changed, but the drinking stayed Navigating quitting alcohol when you have chronic pain Facing a second major back episode alcohol-free and nearly getting derailed Why alcohol never truly solves stress, family conflict, or health issues Using “walk away” as a valid backup plan at triggering gatherings And more… Episode links: www.alcoholexperiment.com Related Episodes: I've Used Wine to Numb Physical Pain | Reader Question | E196 - https://thisnakedmind.com/ep-196-i-used-wine-to-numb-physical-pain-now-without-it-my-quality-of-life-is-way-down-what-can-i-do/  Overcoming Using Alcohol as a Pain Reliever | Reader Question | E656 - https://thisnakedmind.com/ep-656-readers-question-overcoming-using-alcohol-as-a-pain-reliever/ Alcohol Doesn't Relieve My Pain, It Steals My Joy | Alcohol Freedom Coaching | E732 - https://thisnakedmind.com/alcohol-freedom-coaching-alcohol-doesnt-relieve-my-pain-it-steals-my-joy-ep-732/ Ready to take the next step on your journey?  Visit https://learn.thisnakedmind.com/podcast-resources for free resources, programs, and more.

I'm pulling back the curtain on my 2025 business insights... nosy bitches, this one's for you! I share the ultimate the plot twist: I made almost the exact same money as 2024, while taking a 3-month sabbatical, working essentially part-time, and living like an eccentric writer.I break down my Pitch Perfect launches (including a surprising feeling I had with my first $20K month), why I'm retiring from being "The Podcast Queen," and the creative possession that birthed SUPERNOVA — my new thinking lab for people who want to build intellectual frameworks that shape culture instead of learning more tactical skills. Plus: why I'm choosing restraint as my 2026 word, and why I'm actively exploring capped business models and circular economies instead of scaling into outer space.Themes from the episode:Making the same money while living exponentially better - I generated $143K (basically what I made in 2024), but took almost 3 months off, worked Tuesdays-Thursdays, and traveled to 10+ cities, which honestly feels more successful than any revenue goal ever could.From reactive hot takes to restrained discernment - I'm retiring the knee-jerk cultural commentary and choosing thoughtfulness over Threads wars, because not everything needs my opinion and frankly, discernment is sexy as hell.Why SUPERNOVA exists and why I refuse to be the podcast queen forever - The sabbatical revealed I don't want my legacy to be "she taught people to pitch/podcast," I want it to be "she taught people to build worlds," which required creating a 4-month thinking lab for intellectual frameworks that transcend your current business reputation.Ditching cold pitching for relational EVERYTHING - I stopped teaching extractive tactics and started focusing on nurturing your actual circle, which resulted in my most collaborative Pitch Perfect cohorts and proved that relationships always win over spray-and-pray strategies.Exploring capped income and circular economies because endless growth is a scam - I engaged in 8+ swaps/trades for high-ticket programs, I'm capping SUPERNOVA at 10 people, and I'm actively researching what it means to redistribute resources instead of building a team-run empire I don't even want.My 2026 themes: CREATE. PLAY. PHILOSOPHIZE. EXPLORE. UNEARTH. ASK BIG QUESTIONS. SIMMER. PONDER. WONDER. THINK.What are yours?!Connect with Chelsea:

In this solo episode of Waking Up With Melissa, I'm breaking down why the first 90 days of the year set the tone for everything that follows: your momentum, your identity, your results, and your capacity to receive.This isn't a hustle or discipline conversation. This is about devotion, obsession, self-concept, and nervous-system regulation.I'm sharing how I personally plan my year, why I script 50 desires every January, and why excitement not pressure is the real catalyst behind sustainable success. If you've ever struggled with follow-through, clarity, or consistency, this episode will completely reframe how you approach goals, growth, and becoming.A BREAKDOWN OF THIS EPISODE:00:00 — Why the First 90 Days Set the ToneHow the way you begin is usually the way you end—and why January matters more than you think.05:12 — Discipline vs Devotion vs ObsessionWhy pressure kills momentum, and what actually gets people to follow through.08:04 — Planning the Year Without Forcing the OutcomeWhy most people don't fail from lack of discipline but from lack of a plan.10:47 — The Power of Scripting & Writing 50 DesiresWhy writing your goals in present tense rewires identity, belief, and possibility.14:58 — Creativity, Clarity & StillnessWhy clarity doesn't come from logic and how disconnection creates alignment.20:18 — Survival Mode Isn't About MoneyWhy success without self-concept still feels like survival.23:02 — Identity-Based Goal SettingWhy setting goals from who you should be creates resistance and how to shift into becoming.25:11 — Relationships, Boundaries & CapacityHow the people you allow close in the next 90 days shape your entire year.28:36 — Paying the Price of AdmissionWhy expansion costs time, energy, money and sometimes comfort.32:48 — Restarting Without ShameWhy pressing “reset” daily is the real growth hack.Stay ConnectedFollow me on Instagram: @iammelissaruizPS: Unleash & Unveil Your Soul Business is officially open for 2026.Whether you're starting your business or refining your launches and attracting more aligned clients, this container is designed to support your next evolution.DM UNLEASH at @iammelissaruiz or visit www.iammelissaruiz.com for details.

Reflection is the cheat code most people skip, and it's the very thing that turns a good year into a great life. Before charging into 2026 with more goals, more pressure, and more noise, I wanted to pause, look back, and extract the lessons that actually mattered. Because progress doesn't come from moving faster, it comes from moving forward with clarity.In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I'm breaking down 25 Terrific Takeaways from 2025, all through the lens of our S.O.U.L.M.A.P.P.I.N framework, the 10 alignments that help you systematically harmonize ambition and well-being. These aren't fluffy ideas or motivational quotes. These are lived lessons. Wins, mistakes, reminders, and truths that shaped my year, and if applied intentionally, can help make 2026 your most aligned, energized, and fulfilling year yet.We start with Selfless Service, because fulfillment doesn't come from accumulation; it comes from contribution. The biggest reminder here? Service is the fastest path to meaning. Giving your time, not just your money, creates real presence, real connection, and real impact. If you want more joy, help more people. It's that simple.From there, we move into Optimized Health, because energy is the real currency of success. Hustling without health always ends in burnout. Your nervous system sets your income ceiling, recovery is a skill (not a reward), and if you don't protect your energy, no amount of productivity hacks will save you. Health isn't a side quest; it's the foundation.Next up is Digital Unplugging, where I get real about distraction, doom-scrolling, and how constant connection is quietly killing creativity. Attention is your most valuable asset, and what you focus on compounds. Creating boundaries with technology isn't about restriction; it's about freedom.When it comes to Loving Relationships, the lesson is clear: success means nothing if you're disconnected from the people you love. Presence beats presents. Dating your spouse matters. Boundaries are love in action. The moments you protect today become the memories that matter tomorrow.In Mindful Spirituality, I share how alignment starts with something bigger than you. Success without purpose feels empty. Stillness creates clarity. Gratitude rewires the brain. Faith, however you define it, provides an anchor when life gets noisy.We then dive into Abundant Financial, where money is reframed as a tool, not a scorecard. Profit creates peace. Lifestyle design beats lifestyle inflation. Generosity unlocks abundance. When money aligns with values, it becomes a vehicle for freedom rather than stress.With Personal Development, the reminder is simple but powerful: who you become determines what you build. Identity precedes behavior. Consistency beats intensity. Reflection accelerates growth. The goal isn't perfection, it's persistent alignment.Passionate Hobbies get their rightful place too, because joy isn't a distraction, it's fuel. Play makes you better at work. You need something in your life that has nothing to do with money. Fun isn't optional; it's strategic.In Impactful Work, clarity creates cash, community is the new moat, and depth beats diversification. Focus compounds. Shiny objects dilute momentum. Doing meaningful work with people you care about is the real flex.And finally, Nature Connection, the ultimate reset button. Time outdoors lowers stress, restores perspective, and reconnects you to what actually matters. Nature doesn't rush, yet everything gets done.The big takeaway? Alignment is the goal. When you align across these 10 areas, success becomes sustainable. More is the myth. Meaning is the shift. And if you build meaning into your days, 2026 won't just look good on paper, it'll feel damn good to live.Let's make this next year your most intentional, fulfilling, and aligned year yet.Keep putting the happy in your hustle.

Have you ever felt pressure to keep the peace and ended up saying “yes” when a big part of you wanted to say “no”? In this episode, we unpack people pleasing – and, at its extreme, fawning – an often misunderstood coping response rooted in survival. We’re joined by Lia Love Avellino, LCSW, director of head and heart at The Well, to explore how boundaries, emotional health, and lived experience intersect. Lia helps us recognize the physical cues that signal self-abandonment – like a tight chest, knotted stomach, or shaky voice – and offers tools to pause, check in with the body, and name what you truly need. Because boundaries aren’t barriers; they’re meeting places that make more honest, authentic connection possible.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this first episode of 2026, Karen shares a raw, chronological wrap-up of the most powerful lessons 2025 taught her—through health, emotional healing, nervous system regulation, faith, Human Design, boundaries, and self-worth. This episode is a lived-experience transmission about what happens when you stop bypassing your emotions, stop playing small, and finally learn the difference between surrender and fear-based giving up. What you'll hear in this episode Why Karen records when the message is ready—not on a schedule—and how that's aligned with her Human Design How 2025 felt like “six lifetimes in one year”… and why the lessons finally integrated in November/December The surprising way a physical cleanse became a metaphor for an emotional cleanse What “as within, so without” looked like in real time (symptoms, signals, patterns, clues) How nervous system regulation revealed a truth she couldn't “mindset” her way around The core wound that linked everything: the invisible girl / making herself too small Why being “easygoing” was actually self-abandonment in disguise A deeper definition of surrender: trusting the outcome after you've expanded your self-worth capacity The difference between boundaries from authenticity vs boundaries from ego The line that changed everything: “Your personality is your personal reality.” Why Human Design helped her finally understand her energy sensitivity, timing resistance, and emotional permeability The “upper limit” problem: why you can get close to what you want… but can't hold it or repeat it The lesson of reciprocity: giving endlessly without receiving as a mirror (not a character flaw in others) The spiritual arc of the year: from being mad at God… to making peace, and trusting again The 2025 lessons Karen names (organized + titled) 1) The Cleanse That Turned Into a Life Cleanse What started as a liver/health cleanse became a full-body “truth cleanse”—revealing how much the body holds emotionally. 2) Your Body Keeps Score (Even If Your Mind Thinks You're Fine) She realized she had mastered “silver lining mindset”… but her nervous system and body were still carrying what she hadn't processed. 3) Nervous System Regulation Isn't a Vibe—It's a Before & After Somatic work, EMDR-inspired practices, energy work, reflexology, and body awareness showed her what regulation actually feels like. 4) The Bad Door: The Emotions You Avoid Hold the Keys Once the door opens, it's an avalanche—but also the beginning of freedom. 5) Surrender vs Fear-Based Exhaustion Surrender isn't “fine, I'll tolerate it.” It's alignment with an outcome you're truly expanded enough to hold. 6) Upper Limits: Why You Can't Keep What You Don't Believe Is Possible If you can't repeat the outcome, you haven't expanded enough to sustain it. The work is widening your capacity. 7) The Invisible Girl Pattern Making yourself small, “low maintenance,” endlessly accommodating… creates a reality where people don't see you—because you trained them not to. 8) Reciprocity and Self-Worth Giving without receiving wasn't kindness—it was a nervous-system safety strategy and a self-worth wound. 9) Boundaries Without the Chip on Your Shoulder Boundaries from authenticity are powerful. Boundaries from ego still keep you trapped. 10) Be For Something, Not Against Something Energy aimed at resentment and “showing them” blocks outcomes. Energy aimed at what you're building expands outcomes. 11) Human Design as a Practical Roadmap Understanding her sensitivity, timing, and energetic permeability helped her stop personalizing everything—and start protecting her system.   “I thought it was going to be the year of ease… and then I got waylaid with tests on tests on tests.” “It wasn't ‘ease' as in easy… it was ease as in I could finally move through the lessons and finish them.” “Your body will tell you what problems you actually have—emotionally and physically.” “Mindset change isn't enough. It's not behavior. It's energetic.” “If you can't repeat the outcome, you haven't expanded enough.” “I wasn't invisible because people were mean.

Taylor knows exactly how to devastate her fans with her lyrical storytelling, and “Ruin The Friendship” is the perfect example of that! After about an hour of Sara and Laura recapping their favorite moments and takeaways from The End Of An Era Documentary (Episodes 1-4), the ladies dig into the lore of the song. Taylor's high school experiences and the early 2000's high school moments bring Sara and Laura right back to their own teenage-dom.

Is anger, regret or sadness still tying you to your past? In this episode, you'll learn how finding forgiveness helps you heal unhealthy emotions, create closure, and move on. You'll learn about the two types of forgiveness and how to shift your mindset so you can finally feel happier, freer, and more like yourself again. If happiness and well-being feel out of reach right now, I hope you dive into this one. Forgiveness often sounds simple, but it can feel deeply challenging when anger, regret, or unresolved pain linger. I'm revisiting this episode because these unhealthy feelings tend to hold on quietly, shaping how we feel long after the moment has passed. In this conversation, I talk about what forgiveness really is and what it is not, and how finding forgiveness can support healing and closure without excusing harm or abandoning your boundaries. We explore the difference between forgiving yourself and forgiving someone else, especially when there has been no apology, no repair, or no justice. You'll hear how to work with difficult emotions like sadness and resentment, how to move on when the other person may never change, and how forgiveness can support your growth, well-being, and peace of mind. If part of you feels like you should be over it by now, but something still feels unfinished, this episode offers a more compassionate way forward. Forgiveness is not about forgetting or minimizing what happened. It's about releasing what no longer serves you so you can heal and feel happier in your life today. Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Finding Forgiveness and Emotional Healing 03:25 The Two Types of Forgiveness: Yourself and Others 05:52 How Anger, Regret, and Guilt Impact Happiness 07:56 Self-Forgiveness Through Compassion and Growth 15:00 Making Amends and Repairing Harm 21:59 How to Forgive Someone Who Isn't Sorry 24:19 Letting Go Without Excusing Harm 28:56 Forgiveness, Boundaries, and Emotional Safety 31:19 Choosing Forgiveness to Move On and Feel at Peace If this conversation about finding forgiveness stirred something tender for you, I want you to know you don't have to work through it alone. I'd love for you to schedule a free consultation with me or someone on my team at Growing Self. It's a private, secure space to share what you've been carrying and get matched with the right counselor or coach for where you are right now. You'll answer three quick questions, and we'll help you take a thoughtful next step toward healing and clarity. xoxo, Dr. Lisa Marie BobbyGrowing Self

Understanding you need boundaries? Fine. Setting them? Different story. This week we're getting practical—I'm walking you through exactly how to set boundaries, what to say, how to hold them when people push back, and what happens when you start protecting your time, energy, and peace. Spoiler: it gets worse before it gets better. When you set a boundary, people are going to test it, question it, call you selfish, tell you you've changed. But here's what's actually happening—what you were doing benefited them, and that benefit is going away. This is Episode 200, and it's only fitting that it's about boundaries. In this episode: The extinction burst: why boundary-testing gets louder before it stops (and what happens if you cave) The five-step process: get clear on the boundary, communicate it without over-explaining, hold the line, expect the guilt, and notice who respects it Scripts for setting boundaries: "I've decided [boundary], and I understand if it's disappointing, but this is what's going to be" Mantras for holding boundaries: "No is a complete sentence," "Their discomfort is not yours to fix," "Boundaries are not mean, they are clear" What boundaries look like with kids (teaching them how to treat you), parents (protecting yourself from what they didn't give you), partners (equity and shared responsibility), and friends (balance on the ladder) The three outcomes when you hold boundaries: some adjust, some resist then accept, some leave—and what each tells you about the relationship Quote of the week: "Their disappointment is not our failure. Their struggle is not ours to fix. It is not our job to make them happy. Your job is to raise them to be capable, respectful, and independent adults." Practice for this week: One boundary. Just one. Ask yourself: Where am I the most resentful? What am I tolerating that I no longer want to tolerate? What boundary would protect my time, energy, or peace? Write it down. Practice saying it out loud. Then hold it, even if it's uncomfortable.

If you keep entering a new year hoping things will change without confronting the patterns you keep repeating, nothing will be different. Familiar habits. Familiar reactions. Familiar relationships. Familiar excuses. Over time, that repetition does not just stall progress. It reshapes your identity and erodes self-trust. In this episode, I break down why motivation always fades under pressure and why discipline without structure collapses into burnout. I expose the internal enemies most people avoid. Undisciplined thinking. Survival tactics that are no longer necessary. Coping skills that numb instead of build capacity. Predictable failure loops. People-pleasing disguised as kindness. Environments that quietly keep you stuck. You will hear a direct breakdown of the internal battles that must be faced before anything external can change. Thought governance. Emotional regulation. Boundaries. Values. Standards. And the real cost of avoiding your blind spots. Not with shame. With clarity and ownership. This episode is for anyone tired of almost becoming who they were called to be. For those who know they are capable of more but keep sabotaging themselves in familiar ways. If you are ready to stop surviving, stop outsourcing responsibility, and start living with intention, courage, and alignment, this is the work. Kate Hastings | Mental Health Coach

Send us a textIn this episode of The Nourished Nervous System, I'm joined by Dr. Nima Rahmany, chiropractor, educator, and creator of the Becoming Trigger-Proof methodology, for a deep and illuminating conversation about people pleasing, trauma responses, attachment patterns, and how nervous system healing transforms our relationships — with others and with ourselves.Dr. Nima shares his personal journey from chiropractic care into somatic psychology and attachment work, shaped by his own experiences with ruptured relationships, trauma bonding, and nervous system dysregulation. Together, we explore how stress, chronic illness, burnout, and relational conflict often stem from self-abandonment learned early in life — and how healing begins by turning inward.This conversation weaves somatic awareness, polyvagal theory, shadow work, and attachment theory into a compassionate framework for understanding why so many of us struggle with boundaries, resentment, and emotional exhaustion.In this episode, we explore:The fawn response and how people pleasing develops as a survival strategyWhy self-abandonment often leads to burnout, autoimmunity, and chronic stressHow childhood attachment wounds show up in adult relationships and parentingThe difference between being boundaryless, walled-off, and elegantly boundariedWhy resentment builds when we ignore our body's “no”How shadow work helps us reclaim disowned parts of ourselvesA somatic approach to working with triggers in real timeWhat it actually means to be “regulated” — and why regulation doesn't mean being calm all the timeHow to build resilience by increasing your capacity to feel, rather than suppress, emotionDr. Nima also walks us through a powerful, embodied example of how triggers with our children or partners can become doorways to healing unmet needs within ourselves — offering a practical, compassionate roadmap for rupture and repair.This episode is especially supportive if you:Identify as a people pleaser or “the strong one”Struggle with guilt around saying noFeel chronically depleted despite doing “all the right things”Are navigating parenting, partnership, or work stressSense that your nervous system is asking for a different way of relatingResources mentioned:WebsiteDr. Nima Rahmany's Attachment Style QuizThe Trigger-Proof ExperienceFacebookResources:Ayurvedic Dosha Quick Reference Guide Abhyanga Self Massage Guide Weekend Nervous System Reset Nourished For Resilience Workbook Find me at www.nourishednervoussystem.comand @nourishednervoussytem on Instagram

After a 2025 defined by “forge” (building, growing, expanding), a family crisis and an overload of opportunities forced her to re-evaluate sustainability, boundaries, and what it really takes to preserve creative focus.Kendra shares the behind-the-scenes story of her year—what went right, what went sideways, and why the systems and people you build now are what save you later. What 2025 Taught Kendra About Growth and OverloadKendra went into 2025 with momentum, capacity, and big goals—and hit them hard.A strong first quarter with focused, energized work timeA goal of 25 speaking gigs that turned into 35+ eventsMovement on major business projects, including a second edition of her bookA huge personal “yes”: becoming a full-time assistant professor at Rochester Christian UniversityThe Moment Everything ChangedA serious fall and ICU stay for Kendra's mom pulled her into months of caretaking and travel.What stood out most wasn't just the disruption—it was the proof that what she'd built actually held up:Her assistant (Carol) triaged inboxes, managed tasks, and kept clients supportedSystems like Asana and strong relationships prevented a total business collapseThe experience reinforced how vital support structures are—even for solopreneursKendra realized: capacity isn't just about time.

In this episode, Meg shares the third pillar of effective parenting: setting clear boundaries and having clear consequences. When kids know exactly what the rules are—and what happens when those rules are broken—the power struggles begin to fade. Boundaries remove the guessing game from parenting and allow you to respond with confidence instead of reacting emotionally.You don't need to lecture, threaten, or yell. The boundary does the teaching for you. Using simple, consistent follow-through (and your Happy Habits as a guide), you can create a home that feels peaceful, predictable, and steady for both you and your children.This final pillar brings structure, clarity, and calm to your parenting—so everyone in the home can thrive.

We're spending the last few weeks of 2025 reviewing our TOP 5 MOST DOWNLOADED episodes!  Why do so many Christians struggle with boundaries?  We are taught that boundaries are wrong, sinful, or selfish — and that we should always say YES and be ready to sacrifice and serve at a moment's notice.  But is this really the way of Jesus? Or could this lead us down a path of emotional burnout, codependency, and unhealthy relationships?  Today, we have an on-air counseling session with my friend, Bianca Olthoff. Bianca has been on the podcast before, processing pain from the past (listen here if you missed it!) but today we dive into the topic of BOUNDARIES and learning to protect your heart and calling. Bianca shares how she lived so many years with low to no boundaries, and the damage that caused in her life and in her relationships. We talk about her childhood, and how the concept of low boundaries began to take root in her life…and followed her into adulthood.  If boundaries have been a weakness for you, you HAVE TO make time to listen to this episode from start to finish!
