Welcome back to Part 2 of our transformative conversation with April Mason on "Women of Impact." In this half, Lisa and April dive into the essential traits every woman needs to master her self-worth, set boundaries, and stop settling for less—from respecting your own time to building individuality, authenticity, and uncompromising standards in relationships. April breaks down her 24 core traits for feminine self-mastery, illustrating how deep self-respect not only influences the dating world but ripples out into parenting, career, and personal fulfillment. April unpacks the often-overlooked superpowers of sensitivity, warmth, and charisma, guiding listeners to reconnect with their bodies and heal deep-rooted trauma. There's an honest look at the struggle of putting your own name on the "building," literally and figuratively, and the ongoing work that real change requires. April and Lisa share actionable ideas for cultivating self-ownership and internal validation, putting the power back in your own hands for love, business, and life itself. If you're ready to take practical steps toward your next level, this is your blueprint.

ABOUT THE EPISODE:Figuring out your evolving role as a parent during your child's adolescence is difficult, even if you aren't dealing with substance misuse. The natural inclination to protect and nurture is already being challenged by your child's growing sense of autonomy. You're told to step back, control less, and allow them to make their own mistakes.  So, for parents of kids who are misusing substances and struggling with mental health, this process is especially agonizing. How do you walk the line between healthy support and “enabling?”  How do you, as a parent, even understand your own role anymore? Thankfully, my guest today has lots of answers.Beth Hillman's 16-year-old son attended a wilderness treatment program at the age of 16. Immediately afterward, he informed her that he would continue using.  Today, Beth is a double-certified life and parent coach who brings her lived experience to other families through a podcast, private and online coaching, and workshops. She has not only lived in the trenches, but has also helped many other families who found themselves navigating a painfully difficult path.In this episode, we discuss specific, actionable ways to understand what it means to be a parent during this challenging time, ideas for building the scaffolding of both boundaries and safe spaces for our kids, avoiding power struggles with curiosity, and what it actually means to “meet kids where they are.”  EPISODE RESOURCES:Beth Hillman Coaching websiteParenting Post Wilderness podcastThis podcast is part of a nonprofit called Hopestream CommunityLearn about The Stream, our private online community for momsFind us on Instagram hereFind us 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.

Send us a textWelcome to the June Q&A with Cynthia & Trisha. This month we kick things off with a conversation about a midwife who dropped her client in early labor because her HBAC labor was taking too long to get going--as you can imagine, we have a lot to say about this! Next we take your questions:One mom writes about her 3rd attempt at a homebirth after two hospital transfers and wonders if it is ok to keep her birth plans from her family with whom she is very close with. We also answer:My midwife told me I should do a cervical check at 36 weeks to help understand the baby's position and offer recommendations based on the findings. Is this really necessary? And, if a baby isn't breathing after a minute of being born and is still attached to the placenta, do babies need to be stimulated or is intervention required?In the extended episode, available on Patreon, we discuss vaginal birth with a nuchal hand, scheduling C-sections for planned VBAC at 40 week, and vaginal birth after a shoulder dystocia.Finally in quickies, we touch on spray tans while breastfeeding, induction vs cesarean, elastic nipples & pumping, third labors, length of umbilical cords, and our favorite seasons and candy (except Cynthia doesn't eat candy).**********Our sponsors:Silverette Nursing Cups -- Soothe and heal sore nipples with 925 silver nursing cups.Postpartum Soothe -- Herbs and padsicles to heal and comfort.Needed -- Our favorite nutritional products for before, during, and after pregnancy.

Emotional Mind Loops: When You're the Hero, the Victim… But Never the Villain”   Midlife Fire Drills, Victim Loops & the Truth in Your Human Design Arrows Karen Baldridge, Inspired Action Life Podcast   EPISODE SUMMARY: In this next raw, honest, and richly layered episode, Karen reflects on a recent series of emotional challenges that have tested whether she's truly embodying her Human Design. Using lived experience as the ultimate curriculum, she unpacks the link between our recurring patterns, self-abandonment, and energetic burnout—especially in midlife—and explains how understanding your Human Design (particularly the four arrows/variables) can be the key to shifting the script.   BIG IDEAS & THEMES: Midlife feels like one long pop quiz from the Universe
 Tests will keep showing up until you disrupt your old response patterns
 Blame loops are seductive but keep you stuck; responsibility is freedom
 If your needs always come last, your body eventually tells the truth
   “If it's hysterical, it's historical” — trauma shows up loud when unprocessed
   Knowing your Human Design = owning your energetic user manual
 Right-facing arrows = passive, receptive, go-with-the-flow design
   Alignment isn't laziness — it's wisdom in action
 Your best life can't come in if you're performing your way through burnout
     KEY QUOTES: “God keeps testing me to see if I'm really living my design — and I'm grateful. It keeps me honest.”
   “You cannot fake alignment. If your aura says ‘I'm exhausted and resentful,' no amount of smiling will mask that.”
 “Boundaries are how you interrupt patterns. You can't change a system without dropping something disruptive into it.”
   “Right-arrow people aren't lazy. We're designed to observe, respond, and receive — not force.”
   “If it's hysterical, it's historical. What's loud today started long ago.”   
 “You've got 75 summers if you're lucky. What are you going to do with them?”
   HUMAN DESIGN TEACHING: breaks down the significance of the 4 arrows (Variables) in a Human Design chart: Digestion / Determination
 Environment
 Perspective
 Motivation
   She shares how her four right-facing arrows validate her natural rhythm of receiving, observing, and aligning (not grinding or forcing).
   She explains how ignoring your natural design often leads to illness, burnout, and unprocessed trauma patterns.

After betrayal, it's easy to feel like you're stuck reacting, trying to manage your partner's behaviour, walking on eggshells, or questioning your own emotional limits. But here's the truth: You don't need their permission to protect your peace. In this episode, we unpack what real boundaries look like in the aftermath of infidelity, not as walls or punishments, but as powerful acts of self-respect. You'll learn: Why boundaries aren't about control, but clarity The difference between emotional avoidance and self-protection When to share a boundary out loud, and when to keep it for yourself How boundaries give you back your agency after betrayal Whether you're in the thick of rebuilding or figuring out what you want next, this episode is your reminder that your healing is not negotiable.

Do you notice micro changes in people's facial expressions and ask yourself, “What did I do wrong?” Are you able to sit with someone in pain without trying to fix them? Are you so emotionally attuned to everything and everyone that you feel exhausted? If any of this sounds familiar, you're not broken; you just lack the skills (boundaries!) needed to embrace your superpower (being an empath). You can care, love, and feel deeply without losing yourself in someone's pain, which is what I'm talking about in this episode. I hope it helps you hit pause on taking on people's emotions and gives you the tools you need to manage your energy. Read the show notes from today's episode at terricole.com/730

After 30 years of wrestling with the tension between vision and limitation, I've come to see that how we handle limits can make—or break—our leadership. In this episode, I explore the subtle but powerful difference between good and bad limits. Bad limits are driven by fear, faulty thinking, and self-protection. But good limits? They're gifts from God—meant to ground us, guide us, and grow us. You'll hear how ignoring God's limits nearly cost me everything: my marriage, my leadership, my soul. But when we stop trying to be God and instead embrace the limits He gives us, we begin to see Him in ways we never could have imagined. I'll share practical ways you can discern the difference and walk in the freedom of wise, Spirit-led boundaries. This episode is both personal and pastoral—meant to help you lead from a deeper place. Listen now—and rediscover the God who meets you right in the middle of your limits.  

This is a Fan Fav episode. Ever felt like setting boundaries is just too damn hard? I hear you, and honestly, you're not alone! So many of us women struggle to stand our ground—then end up feeling resentful, invisible, or straight-up used. That's why I sat down with legendary psychotherapist and “Boundary Boss” Terri Cole to break down exactly why we freeze, people-please, and self-abandon—and, most importantly, how to stop. Terri gets brutally honest about the root causes of poor boundaries, from family expectations to people-pleasing patterns, and gives us the roadmap for becoming our own damn advocates. With real talk, tactical steps, and compassion for every woman still learning to use her voice, Terri reveals the warning signs of weak boundaries (they're not what you think!), the power of resentment as your wake-up call, and scripts for even the most awkward family encounters—hello, narcissistic mothers and nosy Aunt Betty! Get ready to ditch guilt, drop the drama, and start setting limits that honor YOU.

In this episode, Lyndsay Soprano gets real about the mess behind the scenes: home renovation hell, relentless exhaustion, and the kind of stress that clings to your skin.This isn't a glamorized version of pushing through. It's about those moments when everything feels too loud, too heavy, too much.

She shares what it's like to live in a body that feels like a battleground, and how something as simple as a swim can feel like coming home.More than anything, she talks about finding purpose inside the pain. The power of community. The reminder that you are not your diagnosis. And the importance of setting boundaries that protect your peace—especially when life feels like a construction zone.This one's for anyone who feels like their body is breaking and their life is a little too chaotic to keep pretending everything's fine.Tune in if you're craving honesty, connection, and a little more room to breathe.Find The Pain Game Podcast Online Here:Website: thepaingamepodcast.comInstagram: @thepaingamepodcastFacebook: The Pain Game PodcastLinkedIn: Lyndsay SopranoYouTube: The Pain Game PodcastEpisode Highlights:(00:00) Introduction to Chronic Pain and Trauma(02:38) Living with Chronic Pain: Personal Struggles(10:54) Coping Mechanisms and Strategies(16:57) Conclusion and Community Engagement

You can have a hard no and a beautiful yes, and when you know the difference, you'll stop abandoning yourself just to keep the peace.One of the things I teach women inside my membership is how to hold healthy, loving boundaries, especially when emotions are running high.We talk through six types of boundaries (physical, emotional, sexual, intellectual, time, and material) and how to honor them without guilt or resentment.You'll also hear some powerful boundary-setting phrases you can borrow and practice - because the more we build that muscle in our day-to-day lives, the easier it is to protect our peace when it matters most.Setting boundaries isn't about pushing people away.It's about letting them see who you really are, and deciding what you're no longer willing to carry.Struggling to decide whether to stay or go in your marriage and you're serious about finding that answer? Book a Truth & Clarity Session with a member of my team. We'll discuss where you are in your marriage and explore if there's a fit for you and I to work together so you can make - and execute - the RIGHT decision for YOU and your marriage.

In this episode, we explore the often underestimated power of consistency—how showing up for ourselves in small, daily ways can become the foundation of lasting self-esteem and unshakable self-confidence. Whether you're working toward personal goals, healing, or trying to break old patterns, consistent action sends a powerful message to your nervous system and your inner self: I am worthy of showing up for. Check out the blog, here. We also dive into the role parents play as role models. When children see us follow through—on promises, on routines, on our dreams—they internalize the message that consistency is safe, empowering, and achievable. This episode is an invitation to consider how our habits speak louder than our words, and how consistency can become a radical act of self-trust and leadership in both our lives and our parenting.Tune in for a grounded, encouraging, and real conversation on how to build the life—and the self-worth—you've been reaching for, one small step at a time.Bria Wannamaker, RP.@therapywithbria_www.briawannamakerpsychotherapy.com As always, please remember that these podcast episodes are for educational purposes only and are not a substitute for medical healthcare or mental healthcare.

People can be complicated—but wisdom doesn't have to be. In this message, Pastor Lindsay Rangel breaks down how-to "people" well without losing your mind. You'll learn the three types of people the Bible warns about—wise, foolish, and straight-up harmful—and how to recognize those patterns in others and yourself. Spoiler: this message isn't about fixing everyone else. It's about becoming the kind of person others feel safe around. If you've ever struggled with boundaries, fake friends, or feedback you didn't want to hear—this one's for you. One question might change your life:

When we think of autoimmune disease, we often hear the same story: the body is attacking itself. But what if that view is incomplete? What if autoimmune patterns are not self-attack, but an intelligent protective response of a nervous system shaped by trauma, chronic stress, and relational wounding? In this episode of Trauma Rewired, we're joined by Anna Gieselman, neuro-somatic practitioner and founder of Beyond Functional. Anna sits down with Elisabeth and Jennifer for a powerful, eye-opening conversation about how trauma, attachment wounds, toxic shame, and boundary violations condition the immune system and shape autoimmune responses, and why nervous system-first healing is essential for lasting change. Together, we explore how relational trauma and suppressed emotions fuel chronic inflammation, why boundaries are critical for immune health, and how shame responses become embodied drivers of disease. Anna also shares her personal journey of healing from lupus, and how nervous system regulation, emotional processing, and boundary repair changed her relationship with her body and her health. This episode is not about blaming yourself for illness or fighting your body. It's about honoring your body's wisdom, understanding the survival intelligence beneath autoimmune patterns, and building the capacity to heal from the inside out. If you've struggled with chronic illness, emotional repression, toxic shame, or boundary repair, this conversation offers a compassionate, grounded lens to understand your experience — and new tools for healing. Topics discussed in this episode: ● Why autoimmune is not self-attack ● How trauma and attachment wounds drive immune dysregulation ● The role of chronic stress in autoimmune flare-ups ● Boundaries, self-abandonment, and immune dysfunction ● How shame fuels inflammation and disease ● Emotional repression and autoimmune patterns ● How to support immune healing through nervous system work ● Why emotional expression reduces inflammation ● The role of nervous system regulation in long-term autoimmune healing ● Honoring your body's intelligence and protective responses   Explore the Neurosomatic Intelligence Coaching program: https://www.neurosomatic.com/leadership Learn more about Anna Gieselman's work: Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/beyond_functional Learn more about the Neuro-Somatic Intelligence Coaching program and sign up for the fall cohort now: https://www.neurosomaticintelligence.com Get started training your nervous system with our FREE 2-week offer on the Brain Based Membership site: https://www.rewiretrial.com Find Trauma Rewired on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TraumaRewired Connect with us on social media: @trauma.rewired Join the Trauma Rewired Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/761101225132846 FREE 1 Year Supply of Vitamin D + 5 Travel Packs from Athletic Greens when you use our exclusive offer: https://www.drinkag1.com/rewired Trauma Rewired podcast is intended to educate and inform but does not constitute medical, psychological or other professional advice or services.

Born with Rare Brain Disorder, Suzy Fischer Was Told She'd Never Walk, Talk, or Thrive—But She Did All That and More Doctors gave Suzy Fischer a grim prognosis at birth: she would never walk, talk, live independently, or have meaningful relationships.

IIn today's episode, we explore the calming power of boundaries—and why they're one of the kindest, most respectful ways to care for yourself and your relationships.

Whether it's saying no, asking for space, or protecting your time, boundaries help reduce stress, prevent resentment, and bring you closer to the life you truly want. Peace begins with knowing where you end and someone else begins. “Every time you set a boundary, you tell the world—and yourself—that your peace matters.” Thanks for Listening!

If you think you're calm, logical, and in control... neuroscience says otherwise. Your brain scans for threats approximately 4–5 times per second. And if you're not training the pause, you're reinforcing the panic! In Part 2 of this raw and revelatory series, therapist and relational neuroscience expert Juliane Taylor Shore joins Dov Baron to dismantle the myth that change is solely about mindset. If you've ever thought: ·       “Why do I keep attracting the same kind of chaos?” ·       “Why do I freeze in moments where I should speak up?” ·       “Why do I feel unsafe… even when everything looks fine?” This episode is your blueprint for breaking that unconscious cycle. Permanently.

Setting boundaries can sound easy in theory. But trying to implement boundaries when your nervous system is fried and you're knee-deep in a conversation that's going off the rails is a whole different story. At times it can feel impossible, but with the right tools, anyone can become good at it. In part two of this series, Justin and Abi get personal about the real-life messiness of learning to set and hold boundaries in romantic relationships. They talk about how unresolved childhood patterns shaped their earliest conflicts, how compassion without boundaries created chaos, and how learning to communicate needs around capacity, time, and space helped protect their connection. They also open up about the painful trial-and-error of figuring out what respect looks like in practice—not just in intention. If you've ever felt guilty for needing space, afraid to disappoint someone, or confused about how to set boundaries without creating more distance—this episode is for you. You won't want to miss out.
