Podcasts about boundaries

Have we optimized to the point of loneliness? We're breaking down the question “Are my boundaries killing my love life?” and discuss whether a routine (and unwillingness to stray from it) could be impacting your ability to have fun, have friends, and date. We reminisce on millennial party culture and discuss how times and priorities have changed, offer solutions for an “over boundaried” life, and provide baby steps to getting out there more. We also discuss how a lot of today's dating advice is hurting more than it's helping. Before we get into the topic, Rayna gives a relationship status update, Ashley shows off her foster dog, we recap our summers, and unpack the Gen Z stare. Enjoy!

We live in a world that equates happiness with the absence of discipline and boundaries, yet Scripture presents a radically different picture. God's discipline is not a sign of His anger but of His love, producing maturity, character, resistance to temptation, and alignment with His purposes."God loves us and will not allow us to remain in things that are hindering His will for our life." In this new series, "The Chastening of the Lord," Duane Sheriff explains that God's correction does not come from anger, rejection, or punishment. Instead, it is the loving discipline, guidance, and instruction of a Father who wants His children to grow and walk in His ways.Like a caring parent who sets boundaries and teaches that choices have consequences, God establishes boundaries for our good. His corrections shape our character, helps us resist temptation, and reveals attitudes, motives, and actions that can harm us or others.God's love for us never changes, but not everything we do is good or beneficial. Because He loves us, He will correct what hinders His purpose for our lives. Discover why biblical discipline is necessary for spiritual maturity, how boundaries protect and guide us, and why receiving God's correction is an important part of understanding His love.📖 Get your FREE copy ➡️https://pastorduane.com/landing/the-chastening-of-the-lord

Teaching is your job, NOT your whole life, and that means setting healthy boundaries with your students, too! In week two of my New Year, New Boundaries miniseries, I'm sharing five boundaries to establish this school year around availability, respect, workload, consequences, and grading. The goal? To empower students to become more independent, hold the line in your classroom, and still have a life outside of teaching.➡️ Show Notes: https://itsnotrocketscienceclassroom.com/episode253Resources:Download 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:Episode 123: What to Do When You Care More Than Your Students DoEpisode 155: How to Create Active and Accountable Learners in Your Secondary Science ClassroomEpisode 202: What to Do When Your Students Fail the Test Episode 223: What to Do When Students Simply Won't Do Their Work

The world does not need sensitive people to carry more.It needs sensitive people who are rooted enough to trust what they notice, care deeply without absorbing everything, speak honestly without abandoning themselves, and stay connected to their own inner knowing.In this episode of Highly Sensitive & Strong, holistic anxiety coach and mindfulness teacher Daphnie Leigh explores why sensitivity can start to feel like a burden when it becomes tangled with over-responsibility, emotional absorption, people-pleasing, and self-doubt.You'll learn how self-trust can help your sensitivity become a source of discernment, creativity, boundaries, compassion, and meaningful contribution.Daphnie also shares a simple image that has supported her for many years: a gentle bubble of protection that allows love, care, and connection to move in and out, while helping other people's burdens stay outside your body.This episode is especially supportive if you are a highly sensitive person, empath, deep feeler, or anxious person who tends to absorb other people's emotions, feel responsible for everyone's comfort, doubt what you notice, over-edit your voice, or wonder how your sensitivity can serve the world without exhausting you.Your sensitivity has purpose.Not when it is used to carry the whole world.But when it is rooted in self-trust.Learn more about Rooted Resilience, Daphnie's monthly membership for highly sensitive people:https://yogiranger.com/rooted-resilienceNew to the podcast?

Are your business boundaries working for you? As your home staging business grows, the way you work with clients, your team, and your schedule may need to change, too. Early on, saying yes to everything can feel like good customer service. You answer messages after hours, accommodate last-minute requests, and make exceptions to keep everyone happy. But eventually, too much flexibility can lead to overwhelm, frustration, and a business that feels reactive instead of intentional. That's why better boundaries matter. Boundaries vs. Policies: What's the Difference? Boundaries and policies work together, but they aren't the same thing. A boundary is a limit or expectation you establish for how you want to operate. A policy is the formal business rule that communicates that expectation to your clients or team. For example, you might decide that you don't want to respond to client messages after business hours. That's your boundary. Your policy might state that messages received after 6 p.m. will be answered the next business day. The boundary defines the limit. The policy communicates it clearly. Where Does Your Business Need Better Boundaries? If you're not sure where your boundaries need attention, look at the areas that regularly create stress or frustration. Ask yourself: Am I constantly adjusting my schedule for clients? Do I regularly answer messages outside business hours? Am I making exceptions that have become expected? Am I still doing work that should be handled by someone else? Are my clients and team clear about what I expect? These situations can reveal where your business boundaries need to be strengthened. You don't have to change everything at once. Start with the one area that's creating the most friction. Create Systems That Support You Once you've identified a boundary, communicate it clearly and build it into your systems. Client agreements, onboarding materials, scheduling procedures, communication guidelines, and team processes can all help reinforce your expectations. This makes boundaries easier to maintain because you're not having to make the same decision or explain the same expectation over and over again. And having boundaries doesn't mean you can't be flexible. You can still make exceptions when you genuinely want to. The difference is that you're making a choice rather than feeling like you have to say yes. Your Business Should Work for You, Too You built your home staging business to create something meaningful, not to spend every evening answering messages or constantly rearranging your schedule around everyone else's needs. Better boundaries can bring clarity, protect your time, support your team, and create a more consistent client experience. Take a look at your business and ask yourself: Are my current boundaries supporting the business I want to build? If the answer is no, choose one boundary that needs to change. Clarify it, communicate it, and create a system to support it. Sometimes, building a healthier business isn't about doing more. It's about deciding what you're no longer willing to make room for. It requires deciding what you're no longer willing to let take over your time and attention.   WHAT YOU'LL LEARN FROM THIS EPISODE: The difference between boundaries and policies How to identify where your business needs better boundaries How to communicate expectations clearly How systems can help you maintain those boundaries Why better boundaries can protect your time and reduce overwhelm … and more!

What happens when we're so focused on being grace-filled that we start letting everything slide? The beginning of a new co-op year is the perfect time to establish clear expectations and healthy boundaries, but that can be easier said than done! In this episode, we're talking about why those first few weeks matter so much, what happens when we don't consistently enforce our policies, and how we can hold boundaries without becoming rigid, legalistic, or ungracious. We want to lead with grace and love and sometimes the most loving thing we can do for our community is to hold the line.

Rejection fcking hurts. So how do we get better at handling it without taking it as a verdict on our worth? In this episode of Come Curious, Florence and Reed get into the messy reality of rejection across dating, relationships, friendships and work. They explore why rejection can feel so painful, how the way we're rejected can make a huge difference, and why learning to say (and hear) “no” is such an important life skill. We get into: Why rejection activates the same brain regions as physical pain Dating rejection, friendship breakups and workplace rejection ADHD, neurodivergency and rejection sensitivity How to reject someone without making them feel worthless Why people-pleasing and fawning can make rejection harder Navigating rejection inside long-term relationships What kink can teach us about boundaries and respecting “no” The three-step rejection toolkit for having difficult conversations Plus, Florence and Reed share their own experiences of rejection and challenge us to stop treating someone else's “no” as a judgement on who we are. Because rejection isn't proof that you're unlovable. Sometimes it's just information. So let's make rejection our b*tch.

What if your struggle to stay consistent with healthy habits isn't because you need more discipline?In today's episode of The Secrets of Supermom Show, I'm talking with Courtney Townley, author of The Consistency Code and host of the Grace & Grit podcast, about what it really takes to create deep, sustainable health as a busy woman.Courtney challenges the idea that health is simply about eating well, exercising, or looking a certain way. Instead, she encourages women to expand their definition of health and develop the self-leadership skills that help them navigate changing seasons, competing priorities, and real life.We talk about why boundaries are an essential part of your health, how mom guilt can make it difficult to protect your time and energy, and why what looks like “self-sabotage” may actually be a capacity problem.Courtney also shares the four powerful practices behind The Consistency Code: awareness, organization, follow-through, and realignment—and why learning how to realign may be far more important than trying to get everything right in the first place.In this episode, you'll discover:Why health is so much bigger than diet and exerciseWhat “deep health” really meansWhy boundaries are an act of care for yourself and your relationshipsHow your capacity affects your ability to follow throughWhy Courtney doesn't believe most women are actually self-sabotagingHow to recognize when you're becoming misalignedWhy consistency isn't about never getting off track—it's about knowing how to come backOne question that can completely change the way you approach your health in this season of lifeIf you've ever wondered, “Why can't I just be more consistent?” this conversation will help you look at that question in an entirely new way.Because health isn't a destination you finally reach. It's a direction—and you're always one decision away from realigning.Text us your feedback or questions!Stay connected!Join us in The Supermom Society!

Newbies host Kaile Garcia talks with certified health coach and author Britt Olson about how family dynamics change after having a baby, especially with two children 18 months apart. Britt shares moving from Florida to Georgia at eight months pregnant, laboring 33 hours, and experiencing postpartum isolation and later severe postpartum anxiety and depression with intrusive thoughts and panic attacks; she felt significant improvement after weaning. She describes the stress on her marriage when far from family, dividing nighttime duties by child, and the challenges of planned grandparent visits, unmet expectations, and boundary-setting when boundaries weren't respected, including examples around gifts and family trips. Britt emphasizes that hard phases and relationships can improve over time and offers nervous system calming techniques: grounding outdoors using the five senses and somatic shaking to discharge stress.

Trust • Exploration • Authenticity: Creating Relationships Through Honesty, Consent & ConnectionIn this episode of Teatime with Miss Liz, we welcome Victoria Joseph — Certified Professional Matchmaker, Dating Strategist, Founder & President of Birds of a Feather Matchmaking, U.S. Navy Veteran, ENM Educator, Community Builder, Speaker, Writer and Event Host.Victoria specializes in ethical non-monogamy (ENM) and founded Birds of a Feather Matchmaking, a specialty boutique matchmaking firm serving people exploring ethically non-monogamous, open, polyamorous and swinger/lifestyle relationships.With more than 10 years of personal experience with non-monogamy, Victoria brings both professional expertise and lived experience to an important conversation about relationships, communication, consent, boundaries, trust and authenticity.Her work goes beyond matchmaking. Victoria is also a Dating Strategist for men entering ENM spaces, helping clients better understand communication, expectations, authenticity and how to navigate these communities respectfully and confidently.As an educator, community builder, thought leader, writer, speaker and event host, Victoria works to create space for open and respectful conversations about consensual non-monogamy.At the heart of her message are principles that can apply to relationships of every kind:Honesty. Communication. Consent. Boundaries. Trust.Before becoming an entrepreneur and matchmaker, Victoria served in the United States Navy, bringing another dimension of leadership, trust, responsibility and human connection to her life's work.What would you say to someone listening who recognizes themselves in this conversation but has been afraid to talk about their relationship needs for fear of judgment?And what would you say to someone who doesn't personally understand or agree with non-monogamy but wants to become better at respecting people whose relationships look different from their own?Today's conversation isn't about convincing anyone to choose one relationship structure over another.It's about understanding.Putting the word ethical in front of something doesn't make it ethical.Our behaviour does.It's found in honesty.It's found in communication.It's found in informed consent.It's found in respecting a person's yes — and respecting their no.Victoria's T-E-A brought three important words to the table:Trust. Exploration. Authenticity.Trust asks us to create emotional safety.Exploration asks us to remain curious without forcing someone else to follow us.And authenticity asks us to be truthful about who we are while remembering that another person's authenticity matters just as much as our own.Whether someone chooses monogamy, ethical non-monogamy, polyamory, an open relationship, the lifestyle — or chooses to remain single — the labels themselves don't determine whether a relationship is healthy.How we treat one another does.Victoria Joseph, thank you for bringing a different conversation to the Teatime table and giving us an opportunity to replace assumptions with education.Thank you for pouring your T-E-A."Love can take different forms, but respect should never lose its meaning. Trust requires truth, exploration requires consent, and authenticity requires giving others the same freedom to be honest that we ask for ourselves."— Miss LizTrust • Exploration • Authenticity

When two ADHD experts get together to talk about neurodivergence, we can skip the basics and go so much deeper. In this episode, I'm joined by Kate Moryoussef — ADHD coach, EFT practitioner, author of The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Toolkit, and host of the ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast — to explore what it really takes to navigate life as a late-identified neurodivergent woman. We dive into the complex reality of managing your capacity, navigating perimenopause alongside ADHD, unlearning lifelong perfectionism, and why true well-being goes far beyond quick social media hacks. Kate shares openly about her own lived experience, the reality of post-event energy crashes, and how she builds a supportive ecosystem to burn bright without burning out. In this episode, we cover: The deep need for in-person connection and finding "your people" as a late-diagnosed woman The intersection of ADHD, perimenopause, and lifelong hormonal struggles Protecting your energy, honoring bodily cues, and navigating post-adrenaline crashes Why self-identification is valid and how to support yourself while on long assessment waitlists Moving beyond the binary of ADHD as either a "superpower" or a curse Setting boundaries around sleep, screen time, and constant dopamine consumption The hidden perfectionism behind workaholism, people-pleasing, and the internal "not enough" narrative Why coaching, therapy, and nervous system regulation work together as a holistic toolkit The future of neurodivergence assessments and moving toward more fluid, holistic diagnostic pathways Key reminder  You don't need to tick every box, fix everything, or prove your worth by pushing past your limits. Whatever you have done today is enough, and you are worthy of rest. About Kate Moryoussef  Kate is a Women's ADHD Lifestyle and Wellbeing Coach, EFT practitioner, author, and podcast host. Diagnosed at 40, she combines lived experience with professional expertise to help women understand themselves with clarity, compassion, and realistic, sustainable strategies.

Your pattern isn't bad luck; it's self-worth and who you attract, and until you get self-concept vs. self-esteem, you'll keep landing in the same relationship wearing a different face. You don't choose partners with your standards; you choose them with what you believe you deserve. Your standards are the list you post. Your self-concept is what you actually accept when someone shows up. And if you can't hold your own gaze in the mirror, you will take crumbs and call it a meal.This isn't a character flaw; it's wiring.

Have you been doing everything "right" — eating well, training hard — and still stalling, still not feeling like yourself? In this episode, I'm sharing eight things I've seen impact my clients' health (and my own) more than any food swap ever could — and none of them have anything to do with what's on your plate.This one comes from a very personal place. Even as a dietitian doing everything "right" with my own nutrition and training, I hit a period where my body started reacting to things that used to feel fine — and it wasn't until I looked at these eight areas that it finally clicked.In this episode, we cover:- Why nutrition and exercise aren't always the missing piece when your health stalls- Values alignment — how living out of sync with what matters to you shows up in your body, and my own story of building a "free" business that made me feel constricted- Relationships— how the people around you shape your habits, energy, and self-talk (whether you want them to or not)- Boundaries — why they can feel selfish at first (especially for people-pleasers and first-generation Americans), and how I set a loving boundary with my own mom- Nervous system regulation— the real difference between regulating stress and just ignoring it, and why fight-or-flight mode blocks digestion- Sleep — why you can't out-caffeinate poor rest, and what "wired and tired" is really telling you- Self-talk — where your inner voice actually comes from, and the "ladder of believability" technique for making it stick- Creative expression — why it's not just for "creative people," and its surprising connection to your sacral chakra- Novelty — why humans crave newness once our basic needs are met, and how to work it into a healthy routine without losing structure Free 30 minute consultation with ShanonClick here to schedule4-Day mind-body reset designed to change your relationship with food:Click Here for Our Food Freedom ResetAre you ready to heal your relationship with your body and soul? Click Here to Learn More About Our Signature ProgramOur Links:Follow us on Instagram!Like us on Facebook! 

Voices of Courage with Ken D Foster It's Not Burnout, It's Betrayal: Healing Self-Abandonment with Laura Cheadle Ken D Foster talks with attorney, TEDx speaker and burnout coach Laura Cheadle about why what looks like burnout is often rooted in betrayal, and walks through her FUEL UP Method for recognizing self-abandonment, setting boundaries and rebuilding trust with yourself. A Show Built Around Betrayal, Not Burnout Ken D Foster opens Voices of Courage with a cold-open sample of the conversation to come before rolling the show's intro theme, then returns to formally welcome listeners into a subject he says affects millions of people yet is often misunderstood. He tells the audience that many people write off their burnout as needing a vacation, better time management, or more self-care, when the exhaustion, numbness, and loss of motivation they feel may point to something deeper: betrayal, sometimes by a workplace or relationship, sometimes by their own abandoned values. Foster explains betrayal rarely arrives all at once, building instead through one broken promise or ignored intuition at a time until it erodes confidence and purpose. He then introduces his guest as an attorney, author, TEDx speaker, leadership wellness coach, trauma-informed practitioner and creator of the FUEL UP Burnout Recovery Method, citing a statistic that roughly sixty percent of corporate workers carry unrecognized stress they no longer notice until it becomes full burnout. Naming the Symptoms Millions Ignore Foster and Cheadle walk through what burnout actually looks like before it becomes a full collapse. Cheadle names emotional exhaustion first, the feeling of not being able to face another day, return another email, or deal with the same people again, paired with not knowing what she wants except that the current path is not it. Foster adds a second symptom, a quiet loss of energy that can show up as simply not wanting to get out of bed, or as a slow drain nobody notices happening. Cheadle describes a related pattern of chronic lack of motivation, where people start saying good enough is fine and stop attaching their heart to the work. Foster, who says he has coached for thirty years, frames it as people betraying themselves before anyone else gets the chance, setting up the deeper conversation about betrayal as the hidden root of the symptoms they have just described. Betrayal as the Root Cause Cheadle explains that burnout functions like a fever, a symptom that gets treated for years while the underlying infection goes unexamined. She defines betrayal as the breaking of an expectation someone has relied on, one that ruptures how they see themselves or the world, whether that expectation was set by a workplace, a relationship, or an unrealistic idea the person built their own life around. Foster tests the idea against his own experience, describing someone who expected to make partner at a law firm, work hard enough, and finally have it not happen. Cheadle agrees and pushes further, saying self-betrayal often looks like organizing an entire life around an expectation nobody promised, then feeling like a victim when it does not arrive. Foster asks what real success even means, wondering aloud whether it is the next car or house, or something entirely outside material achievement, a question Cheadle answers by asking listeners whether they wake up grateful or already behind. Laura Cheadle's Own Story of Betrayal Cheadle traces her own burnout back to life as a corporate attorney trying to meet everyone's needs at once, walking away into a wellness practice of yoga and meditation that she expected would fix everything, only to burn out again and start questioning why the standard remedies were not working. She tells Foster that raising two children under two while also caring for aging grandparents collided with the promise she had grown up hearing, that hard work alone guarantees success. The deeper reckoning came later, when she discovered her husband had been unfaithful for twenty-three years, a betrayal she says cut her off at the knees and forced total honesty. Looking inward, she realized she had spent years saying yes when she meant no, performing for approval rather than living from presence, effectively telling herself that only her performance for others mattered, not her own needs. The FUEL UP Method, Step by Step Cheadle walks Foster through her FUEL UP Method letter by letter. F stands for finding your why, identifying the core values, such as connection, education or play, that a person has drifted away from. U is uncovering what is really going on beneath a symptom like exhaustion. E is naming expectations honestly, including the uncomfortable ones, like chasing a party for a dopamine hit rather than lasting relief. L is laughter, which Cheadle says the Mayo Clinic links to calming the nervous system, contrasting the old habit of starting the day with the newspaper comics against today's doom-scrolling. The second U stands for unbroken promises to yourself, such as protecting sleep, food and relationships rather than blaming busyness for broken commitments. Throughout, Cheadle insists the process is messy and requires grief, not a tidy two-week fix, and Foster connects it to his own memory of a therapist telling him to follow the inner voice urging him to feel his pain instead of running from it. Narcissism, Boundaries, and a Closing Word on Courage The conversation turns to reconciliation and to narcissism. Cheadle tells Foster she and her husband ultimately reconciled after his infidelity, calling it a difficult but genuine gift once she stopped blaming him and examined her own side of the relationship. Asked whether narcissists can change, she says no one is a hopeless cause, though nothing is guaranteed since everyone retains free will; change becomes possible once someone is in enough pain to want to live differently. Foster calls narcissism fear-based and argues that living with one teaches boundaries by necessity. Cheadle defines a boundary not as controlling another person but as stating clearly what she will or will not tolerate, then following through. Foster closes by naming the show for the courage it takes to walk into the unknown, whether that means opening a book or calling a coach, then directs listeners to Cheadle's book and to workplace-burnout.com before thanking her and signing off.

Boundaries can feel uncomfortable, but they're essential for healthy relationships! Counsellor Debbie Causey joins Karen and Emily today to explain what healthy boundaries actually look like, how over-functioning hurts the people we're trying to help, and how to know when it's time to say no. If boundaries are hard for you, you'll walk away with practical tools, including how to start with a few “baby nos” to protect your relationships without building walls.Episode Recap:Why are boundaries a universal struggle? (2:40)Healthy boundaries aren't a wall, they're a fence with a gate (4:11)We need to learn the difference between a burden and a backpack (6:45)How can I tell if I have a boundary issue with someone else? (10:54)Over-functioning teaches people to be lazy and steals their confidence (14:15)What's the difference between setting a boundary and just avoiding people? (16:00)Get someone objective in the situation if you need to (22:36)Practice saying “ baby” nos (23:31)Scripture: Galatians 6:2-5 (NIV) “Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. If anyone thinks they are something when they are not, they deceive themselves. Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves alone, without comparing themselves to someone else, for each one should carry their own load.”Discussion Questions:Is there a relationship where you're carrying someone else's “backpack”? What would it look like to hand that responsibility back to them?Where are you over-functioning for someone in a way that may actually be keeping them from growing?What's one “baby no” you need to practice saying this week?

[00:00] At just 12 years old, five years after his family fled Vietnam, Ke Huy Quan found himself on the set of "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom," working alongside Harrison Ford. Decades later, he's an Oscar winner, known for his role in "Everything Everywhere All at Once," and now he's telling his story in a new memoir, Never Say Die. Quan talks about making lifelong friendships while filming The Goonies, stepping away from Hollywood, and finding the confidence to begin acting again.[26:49] Saying "no" can be hard, whether at work, or with friends, family, or in a relationship. Anna Holmes, contributing writer for The Atlantic, makes the case that "No" is especially difficult for women and girls, who are socialized to be more accommodating. Holmes discusses her new book, The Power of No, and listeners share examples where they said no, or struggled to say no.Photo: Vietnamese-US actor Ke Huy Quan attends the premiere of "The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist" at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles on March 23, 2026.

Sean Azzaro and Baron chat about rising holiday stress and family estrangement, often fueled by bad counseling that labels disagreement as “toxic.” Sean emphasizes Romans' call to pursue peace as far as possible, encourages honest conversations, and warns that cutting people off over politics, church hurt, or preferences leads to isolation. He distinguishes forgiving someone (a one-sided release of debt) from restoring trust (a two-sided process) and urges keeping communication doors open while setting appropriate boundaries. They address navigating conflict between a spouse and extended family, and honoring parents while making adult decisions.00:00 Show Intro Banter00:36 Office Art Tour02:11 Weekend Sports Recap04:17 Fall Weather Holiday Rush04:57 Holiday Anxiety Estrangement06:34 Boundaries Versus Cutoffs07:43 Politics Church Hurt10:58 Reconciliation Forgiveness12:35 Handling Pushback Leaving14:06 Blessing People Out14:42 Forgiveness Versus Trust16:11 Releasing the Debt18:09 Spouse Versus Sibling20:53 When to Let Go22:17 Honoring Parents' Boundaries23:53 Is It Biblical Oil24:50 Healing Simple Faith27:42 Final Encouragement

What if achieving your highest level didn't require sacrificing your health, values, or sense of self? Dr. Judy Wright shares how her experiences across clinical medicine, academia, managed care, and coaching reshaped her understanding of sustainable success and the importance of pausing long enough to recognize what is truly working.Judy also explores how clinicians can become stronger change-makers by listening across disciplines, bringing the right people to the table, and addressing problems upstream. Her PACE framework (Pause, Audit, Calibrate, and Elevate) offers a practical approach to examining boundaries, redefining success, and building a career that supports both ambition and personal wellbeing.Episode Highlights:From One Doctor to a Difference-Maker: Discover how Judy's patients literally followed her across New York, revealing the profound impact one physician can have.Breaking the “Dark Side” Myth: Why clinicians need a voice inside managed care and payer organizations to influence healthcare decisions.Everyone Belongs at the Table: How bringing physicians, nurses, social workers, nutritionists, and other professionals together can create lasting community change.Burnout Can Follow You: Why changing jobs alone may not solve burnout, and what looking inward can reveal.The PACE Method: Learn how to Pause, Audit, Calibrate, and Elevate your approach to success, boundaries, priorities, and capacity.Turn Awareness Into Action: How simple audits, wearable data, calendars, and daily reflection can uncover patterns and guide meaningful changes.Hope for Healthcare's Future: Why the next generation of medical and nursing professionals gives Judy reason to remain optimistic about healthcare transformation.About the Guest:Dr. Judy Wright is a board-certified family medicine physician and sustainable success strategist who helps high-achieving professional women pursue ambitious goals without sacrificing themselves.

Pausing allows you to notice what you are feeling, examine what is happening, reconnect with your values, and determine whether your current definition of success still reflects what you genuinely want.Audit What Is Really Working: Awareness makes change possible. Look for patterns in your stress, relationships, schedule, energy, and boundaries.

Calibrating may mean changing priorities, delegating, adjusting your calendar, or setting stronger boundaries. By honoring where you are while intentionally building forward, you can pursue greater achievement without losing yourself in the process.

What if you're doing your best to follow God, but you honestly don't know what to do? Life doesn't always come with a clear five-step answer.

A new school year calls for new boundaries, and it's high time we stopped letting email rule our lives. Teaching is your job, not your whole identity, and nobody should expect you to be available 24/7! In this episode, I'm kicking off a 3-week mini-series on boundaries by tackling one of the biggest struggles for teachers: constant digital access. I get personal about my own journey with becoming unavailable, why these boundaries matter, and how they can help us teach others to become independent problem-solvers. I'll also address the biggest pushback I get and share five practical tips for holding the line and responding to email strategically instead of reactively.➡️ Show Notes: https://itsnotrocketscienceclassroom.com/episode252Resources:Inbox When Ready (Chrome Extension)Download 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:Episode 70: “It Isn't an Attack on You: Dealing with Difficult Parents with Guest Zach MatsonEpisode 195: A Simple and Effective Process for Parent Communication with Guest Mandy FarrarEpisode 199: How to Not Take Work Home (In Your Head, or in Reality) This School YearEpisode 207: Dealing With Combative Parents - 6 Tips and 2 Warnings

Was it narcissistic abuse, or were you the problem? Why does the fog lift after a divorce, and you still can't trust your own judgment? In this second live therapist Q&A, moderated by Tony's daughter Sydney, almost every question came from someone in the middle of something: a divorce after ten years of marriage, an only child clearing out her late mom's house, a man texting a grieving partner and hearing nothing back, a listener whose therapist of eight years had died. Tony opens with why the brain, a prediction engine that wants certainty now, grabs the nearest story and runs with it. Then he catches himself doing exactly that on air, and leaves it in. In this episode you'll: Reframe "am I the narcissist?" into a question that can get you further: what happened to you in the relationship, and who were you becoming inside it Recognize "making the right mouth sounds," where "You're right, I'm the problem" brings relief for both people, and the effort for change never arrives Use the four pillars of a connected conversation when every issue you raise gets turned back on you Notice the pathologically kind pattern of absorbing blame that was never yours to carry Stay in grief, estrangement, and overthinking without a formula, with a nod to Dr. Joshua Coleman's Rules of Estrangement and a passage from Alex Michaelides' The Fury on the child still waiting inside the adult Tony Overbay is a licensed marriage and family therapist with more than 20 years of experience helping individuals and couples untangle emotional immaturity, high-conflict dynamics, and the stories the brain tells in the meantime.

Was it narcissistic abuse, or were you the problem? Why does the fog lift after a divorce, and you still can't trust your own judgment? In this second live therapist Q&A, moderated by Tony's daughter Sydney, almost every question came from someone in the middle of something: a divorce after ten years of marriage, an only child clearing out her late mom's house, a man texting a grieving partner and hearing nothing back, a listener whose therapist of eight years had died. Tony opens with why the brain, a prediction engine that wants certainty now, grabs the nearest story and runs with it. Then he catches himself doing exactly that on air, and leaves it in. In this episode you'll: Reframe "am I the narcissist?" into a question that can get you further: what happened to you in the relationship, and who were you becoming inside it Recognize "making the right mouth sounds," where "You're right, I'm the problem" brings relief for both people, and the effort for change never arrives Use the four pillars of a connected conversation when every issue you raise gets turned back on you Notice the pathologically kind pattern of absorbing blame that was never yours to carry Stay in grief, estrangement, and overthinking without a formula, with a nod to Dr. Joshua Coleman's Rules of Estrangement and a passage from Alex Michaelides' The Fury on the child still waiting inside the adult Tony Overbay is a licensed marriage and family therapist with more than 20 years of experience helping individuals and couples untangle emotional immaturity, high-conflict dynamics, and the stories the brain tells in the meantime.

ABOUT THE EPISODE:You might already know what needs to change - or at least that something definitely needs to change in the dynamic with your child. Underneath the crisis calls, the covered debts, the conversations you soften before you have them, there's a quiet voice telling you, “this has to stop.” But how?Brook McKenzie says that voice is right, and then says the harder part. You must go first.Brook is a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor, the CEO of Burning Tree Programs, and a person in long-term recovery. He's also the author of the field guide parents truly need, “You're Waiting On You: Why Real Recovery Starts With You - Not Them.”Brook didn't find recovery until his thirties, and he's clear about why. His parents loved him fiercely and did what most of us do. They softened the truth, absorbed the consequences, and kept the peace. He describes what that felt like from the inside, and it's not what you might expect.The moms in The Stream talked about Brook's book for months before I finally read it, in an hour and a half, and emailed him that same day.What lands here is that Brook does not perform sympathy. He highlights that the things that feel hardest are usually the effective ones, and the things that feel like relief are usually what keeps everyone stuck. He has his own word for what parents are doing when they rescue, and spoiler alert, it is not enabling. He also has an answer to the question that is in the back of every parent's head, the one that starts with "but what if they die?"I asked about the sixteen year old you still have to house and feed, and what belongs on the list of what you will and will not do. He answered both without flinching.If you have been waiting for your child to be ready and change, this one might sting, and then it will help.YOU'LL LEARNWhy Brook doesn't use the word enabling, and the word he uses insteadThe two things he says sit underneath every ineffective parenting decision, without exceptionWhat he says to parents who tell him they will not put their child on the streetThe one change in how you talk to your child that he has watched work in months, sometimes weeksWhat you're really telling your child when you fix their problems, clean up their mess and make decisions for themThe specific thing he wants you to bring to your next therapy sessionEPISODE RESOURCES:Brook McKenzie's websiteGet the book, “You're Waiting On You, Why Real Recovery Starts With YOU, Not Them”Burning Tree Ranch websiteThis podcast is part of a nonprofit called Hopestream CommunityLearn about The Stream, our private online community for momsFind us on Instagram hereWatch the podcast on YouTube hereDownload a free e-book, Worried Sick: A Compassionate Guide For Parents When Your Teen or Young Adult Child Misuses Drugs and AlcoholHopestream Community is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and an Amazon Associate.

Raised in a family affected by alcoholism, Katie as the oldest child was parentified from a young age. Although she was stricken with pretty serious TMS growing up, Katie always showed up with a brave face. At home, nothing was discussed. At school, she shined. This, of course, can't last forever - no human can take it. Join us today for a profound and impactful RTH where Katie shares her story thus far, and then we delve together into the places that might be keeping her stuck. I love these opportunities to move the needle on healing, and I feel confident that Katie will continue to ascend up her own mountains. Enjoy!

Aubrey is calling in from a hospital bed with ultrasound gel as her mic, and she is sharing live with Victoria what went down. What follows is the full account of an emergency room visit that escalated from "please go now" to a wide-awake colonoscopy in about ninety minutes, complete with a doctor who looked like he had been on Love Island, a nurse who played Chappell Roan so she could dissociate, and the “something beautiful” that came from it. Then, because this is still a bestie catch-up, the two of them get into the thing underneath all of it: how much of your life you actually owe the people watching it. Victoria admits how hard it can be to not care about people on the internet's opinion, and how she's letting her life guide her content instead of the other way around. Aubrey shares about the pregnancy no-no's she doesn't care about owning and whether or not she has a favorite baby name.
