Podcasts about boundaries

In this episode, Marsha shares a recent experience that became a powerful real-time lesson in boundaries, emotional regulation, and subconscious patterns.After a misrepresentation involving her professional identity triggered a strong emotional response, Marsha found herself face-to-face with old patterns that could have easily taken over the moment. Instead of bypassing what she was feeling or reacting from the trigger, she used the very tools she teaches to regulate, create space, and choose how she wanted to respond.Marsha explores the difference between validating your emotions and allowing them to drive your behaviour, why certain situations can activate much older stories, and what it looks like to hold a boundary while remaining grounded in who you are today.This episode is a reminder that doing the work doesn't mean you stop getting triggered. The work shows up in what you're able to do next — how quickly you recognize the pattern, regulate yourself, communicate clearly, and choose a response that reflects who you are becoming.Chapters:[03:11] - Navigating Misunderstandings and Boundaries in NLP[05:20] - Understanding Emotional Responses[11:15] - Retaining Personal Power Through Self-Reflection[12:53] - Embracing Personal Power and GrowthMarsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and PodcasterOUTSPOKEN QUIZ: https://nlp.marshavanw.com/LOCKED IN: https://www.heart-wiredceo.com/locked-inOUTSPOKEN August Cohort: https://www.marshavanw.com/nlpUNBOTHERED Mastermind: https://www.marshavanw.com/offers/w8WVE3PaWrite Your Damn Book Program: https://www.marshavanw.com/writenowOUTSPOKEN Publishing: https://www.outspokenpublishing.comTickets for Heart-Wired CEO Live https://www.heart-wiredceo.com/liveUnbothered Mind Private Podcast https://www.marshavanw.com/unbotheredmindpodcastUnbothered Entrepreneur Masterclass (for the Podcast Listeners): https://www.marshavanw.com/unbothered-entrepreneur-masterclass-podcastDownload “You Are Supported” Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle HERE Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in January 2026, in person or virtual) HEREThe Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program August Promo Save $333 HERE.Tap the “Follow” button never to miss a show, and if you love the show, please feel free to tag me on social media, share it with a friend, or leave me a rating and review.

Nicole recounts childhood sexual abuse by her father, a gang rape in college, miscarriages, and the death of her son Samuel at nine weeks old, followed by being treated as a criminal and enduring an abusive, drug-addicted first marriage before fleeing with her children while pregnant. After remarrying a service member, unhealed trauma led to heavy drinking and a 2019 suicide attempt that she survived, prompting sobriety and intensive healing.

Most artists don't lose their business to one catastrophic decision — they lose it to a hundred small yeses. In this episode, Chelsea reframes boundaries entirely: not as walls that keep people out, but as the architecture that makes a business livable. She makes the case that capacity is finite and non-negotiable, that every yes is a no to something else whether you choose it or not, and that the guilt keeping most artists from setting boundaries is the real obstacle — not the logistics. This is a permission-giving episode with real structure underneath it.WHAT YOU'LL LEARN·  Why a hundred small, reasonable yeses can quietly consume an entire business·  The reframe: boundaries as architecture, not walls — structure that makes a space usable·  Why an empty calendar square is not the same as available capacity·  How to treat capacity as a budget with real deposits and withdrawals·  Why guilt — not logistics — is the actual obstacle to setting boundaries·  The practical reframe: every no is in service of a yesRESOURCES & LINKSMentioned in this episode:· ⁠⁠⁠Join Momentum — Hennapreneur's membership for henna artists⁠⁠⁠· ⁠⁠⁠Hennapreneur website⁠⁠⁠· ⁠⁠⁠Download the Hennapreneur app⁠⁠⁠Connect with Chelsea:· ⁠⁠⁠Instagram — @hennapreneur.official⁠⁠⁠· ⁠⁠⁠Facebook — Hennapreneur⁠⁠If this episode started something for you, share it with another henna artist who needs to hear it.

Sylvia Turner, affectionately known to generations of Lafayette families as “Ms. T,” joins Discover Lafayette to reflect upon a remarkable life of teaching, music, faith, and service to others. For more than five decades, beginning in 1972, Sylvia taught children and adults to swim in the backyard pool of her Lafayette home. But anyone fortunate enough to have taken lessons from Ms. T knows she taught much more than swimming. She taught safety. She taught respect. She taught children to encourage one another, to follow rules, to appreciate their parents, and perhaps most importantly, to believe they could do things that initially frightened them. “One of my greatest compliments was when people would say, ‘You don't just teach swimming, do you?'” Sylvia recalls. “I said, ‘No, I don't. I teach everything I can while I can.'” Two Lives: Ms. T and Sylvia the Singer Many Lafayette residents knew Sylvia exclusively as Ms. T, the swim teacher who could spend long summer days in the pool working with one class after another. Others knew an entirely different Sylvia Turner, a classically trained singer whose musical life was intertwined with that of her late husband, John Turner. Sylvia grew up in Fort Worth, Texas, and came to Lafayette with John, who taught voice at UL for 34 years. Sylvia later received an opera scholarship, and the couple performed opera together as well as singing at university commencement ceremonies. She also became a fixture at the Order of Troubadours ball, serving as the opening soloist for “Make Believe” for 40 years. The separation between her two worlds occasionally created funny moments. Sylvia remembers singing at a commencement ceremony when a family approached her afterward, looking puzzled. “Ms. T, is that you? Did you sing?” “Yes,” she answered. “In the singing world, a lot of people didn't know that I taught swimming,” Sylvia says. “And then in the swimming world, a lot of people didn't know that I sang.” Sylvia Turner is an active member of Chorale Acadienne. She is pictured fourth from left in the photo. A Fear of Water Leads to a Lifetime in the Pool It is fitting that Sylvia ultimately devoted so much of her life to teaching people to be comfortable in the water, because she did not learn to swim herself until she was 11 years old. Her mother, Lucille, had nearly drowned at age 18. The experience was so traumatic that Sylvia grew up repeatedly hearing, “Don't go near the water.” Eventually, her mother enrolled her in Red Cross swimming lessons at a park pool. Sylvia loved the water immediately. At the end of the lessons, the instructor announced a swim meet. Sylvia entered, won a red ribbon for second place, and, as she puts it, “I was hooked.” Her mother began allowing her to spend time at the pool, where Sylvia became fascinated by a group of young men who were accomplished divers. She simply asked them if they would teach her. They did. Before long, Sylvia was diving from the three-meter board and later competed as a diver when she was 13 and 14 years old. Eventually, voice training began competing with diving for her attention, but her love of the water never disappeared. The Pool That Started It All Sylvia's path to becoming one of Lafayette's best-known swim instructors began with a frustrating afternoon at Riverside pool. Sylvia and her husband, John, were living in River's Bend with their three children when, on a beautiful sunny day, the lifeguard announced everyone had to leave the pool because he needed to take a test and there was no one qualified to substitute for him. Sylvia was not pleased. “I went home and I said to my husband, ‘You know, if I had a lifesaving badge, I could have gotten up on the stand and we could have kept the pool open.'” John's response was simple: go get it. Sylvia and a friend took a lifesaving class at Girard Park. At the conclusion of the course, the instructor assigned Sylvia two women from a mothers' swimming program to teach. “My ladies did beautifully,” she remembers. “And so I was further hooked.” As Sylvia and John prepared to build their new home, she began thinking about adding a swimming pool. The price gave her pause, particularly when they realized it would effectively double their house payment. Sylvia had an answer. “Oh, John, if I paid for it, could we do it?” How would she pay for it? “I could teach.” And that is exactly what she did. Sylvia began teaching swimming lessons in 1972. Her first student was a young man she met through the grocery store who was preparing to get married. His future wife could swim, he could not, and he did not want to be the person sitting on the beach while everyone else enjoyed the water. Sylvia taught him to swim. Years later, he returned with his children. It was the beginning of generations of Lafayette families learning from Ms, T. Safety Came First Before any child entered Sylvia's pool, there were rules. “Children like to know boundaries,” she says. Students first sat on the deck while Sylvia sat at their eye level and talked about safety. Then she walked them around the pool. Nothing was taken for granted. She showed them the skimmers. She explained the drain. She taught them what the various parts of the pool did and addressed fears children might be reluctant to express. That lesson came partly from the children themselves. One little boy looked across the pool at the dark opening of a skimmer and asked Sylvia, “Is that where you keep Jaws?” From that point forward, Sylvia opened the skimmers so the children could look inside. “I learned the children are great teachers,” she says. “I learned a lot from children.” Only after the rules and pool orientation were complete did everyone get into the water. Teaching Children to Respect One Another Ms. T in a photo taken by Jan Swift when she taught Kelly Swift, Jan’s daughter, to swim and dive….circa 2009. Sylvia's lessons were intentionally positive. “I had the children applaud each other all the time,” she says. “We applauded for everything. We didn't just applaud for excellence. We applauded for effort.” Criticism was not allowed unless it was constructive. Older swimmers were taught how to watch one another perform a stroke and offer feedback, beginning with something the swimmer had done well. Sylvia traces much of that philosophy to her mother, who was an exceptionally positive person, and to the instructor who taught Sylvia lifesaving at Girard Park. “She made you feel like you were the most special person in the world.” Sylvia wanted children in her pool to feel the same way. One experience still moves her. A little girl had missed the first day of lessons and joined the class on the second day. When it was her turn to get onto the diving board, she hesitated. Finally, she turned to Sylvia and asked, “Do they have to watch?” Before Sylvia could say anything, every child waiting nearby turned his or her back. “I can't tell that story without getting emotional,” Sylvia says. The children understood that their classmate needed to try something difficult without an audience. “A lot of times we have to do things without people watching.” “Are You the Boss of This Pool?” Boundaries mattered because safety mattered. During one family swim, a visiting child began running around the pool and jumping too close to other swimmers. Sylvia called him over and explained that the pool had rules. The boy looked at her and asked, “Are you the boss of this pool?” “Yes, I am.” “Oh.” That was the end of the problem. “Children want to know who's in charge,” Sylvia says. “And they want somebody to be in charge.” Those lessons stayed with her students long after class ended. One mother called Sylvia after taking her children to another pool. Her four-year-old son Nicholas noticed another little boy breaking pool safety rules and corrected him. The boy replied that his daddy owned the pool and he could do anything he wanted. He added that he took swimming lessons. Nicholas had an answer: “Well, obviously you don't take from Ms. T because you don't know the rules.” Relaxation and Rhythm For Sylvia, learning to swim rested on two fundamental principles. “The two most important things in swimming are relaxation and rhythm.” Relaxation came first. A tense body does not float well. Students learned to float before progressing incrementally through kicking, strokes, diving and more advanced skills. “You do it by stages,” Sylvia says. “And that's how you learn anything really, by little increments.” The same principle applied to diving. Sylvia never forced a frightened child from the diving board. Students progressed from a knee dive close to the water, to a falling dive, then standing, springing, and eventually diving from the board. Her goal was not simply for a child to acquire a skill. The child needed confidence in that skill. “If you have a skill without confidence, it's not really productive.” Teaching Adults and Overcoming Fear Although Ms, T is best remembered for teaching children, Sylvia loved teaching adults, particularly because, as she says, “They always have baggage.” Some carried a fear of water for decades. She taught men, women and couples, including two women who were 71 years old. But no adult student meant more to Sylvia than her own mother. Lucille's near drowning at age 18 had shaped Sylvia's childhood and her mother's lifelong relationship with water. Then, on her 70th birthday, Lucille surprised Sylvia by announcing a goal for the coming year. “I've decided I'm going to learn to swim.” Sylvia was stunned. Her mother continued: “I've decided that if anybody can teach me, it's you.” Sylvia responded, “Well, you'll never have to give me another compliment in your whole life.” Lucille was unable to make the trip to Lafayette that year, but the following year she came and took lessons from her daughter. By the end of the week, she could swim across the pool without assistance. Sylvia later asked whether she had finally lost her fear. Her mother answered, “I don't know, but I loved being in the water.” Sylvia thought that was enough. Of all the adults she taught, she describes teaching her mother as perhaps the most gratifying experience of all. Generations of Lafayette Families Sylvia never kept count of how many people she taught during her decades in the pool, particularly because so many students returned year after year and eventually brought another generation back with them. Her classes grew largely through word of mouth. Her youngest daughter attended Broadmoor Elementary, where Sylvia was heavily involved in the PTA. The principal, himself the father of seven children whom Sylvia eventually taught along with his wife, allowed her to distribute information about her lessons through the school. “And then word spread.” For younger children, particularly three and four year olds, Sylvia limited classes to six students and had another adult in the water with her. Older, accomplished swimmers could be taught in somewhat larger groups. Sylvia also encouraged parents to observe lessons so they understood what their children were learning and could reinforce those lessons away from the pool. The lessons often carried into everyday family life: respect your parents, appreciate what they do for you, respect other people, encourage others, follow the rules, and understand that safety is never something to take casually. The Teacher Who Never Taught School When asked how she defines herself after a lifetime encompassing swimming, opera, church music, family and community, Sylvia returns to teaching. “Every teacher I ever had told me that I was destined to be a teacher.” Yet she never became a traditional classroom teacher. “I taught Sunday school. I taught junior choir. I taught swimming. I'm an inveterate teacher.” She also remains a singer, grounded in the classical and religious music that has been part of her life since childhood. Sylvia grew up in the church. Her mother sang in the choir, her father was a deacon, and Sylvia herself began singing in choir at age 12. Faith remained a constant through the joyful times and the difficult ones. And that may help explain the extraordinary positivity so many people associate with Ms. T. Asked how she manages to remain positive, Sylvia acknowledges that it requires intention. “You have to work at it, I think, because it's easy to be negative.” Even in the hardest times, she says, there is something to hold onto. “Even in those darkest days, you have to find something. And gratitude is part of it.” Sylvia looks back on her life with gratitude for the people, experiences and opportunities she has been given, while acknowledging that her life has included hardship like anyone else's. “I've had some hard knocks, as everybody does during my life. I'm here to say that I overcame them.” Then she adds the foundation beneath it all: “With the help of my Lord.” For generations of Lafayette families, Ms. T will always be the woman who taught their children to swim. But her legacy reaches well beyond the pool. She taught children to be safe without being afraid, to respect rules and one another, to applaud effort rather than simply excellence, and to gain confidence one small step at a time. And she taught it all while making each child feel that, at that moment, they mattered.

For years, I gave it all away.Every insight, every hard-won lesson, every piece of advice I'd earned through decades of building businesses and coaching people through the messiest parts of success. I thought that was generosity. I was wrong.In this episode, I talk about the moment I realized that giving everything away for free wasn't serving the people I was trying to help, and it definitely wasn't serving me. I get honest about why privacy and value go hand in hand, why the deepest work I do happens in rooms that aren't public, and what changed when I stopped treating access to me like it should cost nothing.

In this episode of Reimagine Childhood from the Early Childhood Christian Network, host Monica Healer welcomes Devon Kuntzman, founder of Transforming Toddlerhood, certified coach with a psychology degree, former global nanny, author, summit host, and creator with nearly one million Instagram followers. Devon reframes toddlerhood as a critical, beautiful developmental stage and explains differences between babies, young toddlers, and older toddlers, emphasizing that behavior is communication and often reflects missing skills. She shares a three-part approach—decode behavior, nurture development, and build skills—then addresses common challenges: power struggles (exit the struggle while holding limits and offering choices), physical aggression (connect, set limits, teach skills), biting (get curious, track patterns, support both children, and scaffold with safe alternatives), and tantrums (ensure safety, stay calm, uphold limits, and use "less is more" during meltdowns).   00:00 Welcome to Reimagine Childhood 00:50 Meet Devon Kuntzman 01:47 Why Toddlers Get a Bad Rap 05:06 Toddler Stages and Communication 08:52 Power Struggles and Boundaries 16:18 Hitting Biting and Skill Building 30:56 Tantrums Plus Final Takeaways If you enjoyed the conversation today and need a downloadable PDF mini-guide....HERE you go!

What does it take to rebuild your life after decades of addiction, mental illness, and unimaginable loss?In this episode of the Sharing Without Shame podcast, host Donna Marston sits down with author Robert Rickelman to discuss his deeply personal journey through childhood trauma, severe anxiety, alcoholism, psychiatric hospitalization, and ultimately, lasting recovery.Robert shares how growing up with an alcoholic mother shaped his early life, why alcohol became his way of coping, and how addiction nearly cost him everything—including his health, relationships, and future. After years of detox programs, suicide attempts, hospitalizations, and searching for answers, Robert was diagnosed with serious mental health conditions that finally helped explain the struggles he had faced for most of his life.Together, Donna and Robert also explore:

Tim Smale is joined by Jayne Lowe OBE, the DfE's Attendance and Behaviour Ambassador, for his final show of the year: Belonging or Boundaries? The Behaviour Debate. Connection, culture, discipline and exclusions, put to the person shaping national policy on all four. Live on Teachers Talk Radio.

Today, we are talking about requests, ultimatum, and boundaries. Often, we request changes in behavior hoping someone will just do the thing. If things don't get done the say we expect we make if/then statements and rarely follow through. The boundary is what we can actually manage when it comes to our resources of time, space, money, emotions, and thoughts. We are in control of those things. #boundaries #ultimatum #relationships #choices  

We discuss Sarah's algorithm and why it's feeding her lavender marriages, and we debate their merits. We discuss the Presbyterian church debating whether to let their clergy be in polyamorous relationships. Sarah names some of the rules and courtesies the Washington Post says apply to people going on group vacations. Susie seems to be mad about power banks for some reason, so we have to hear about that. We discuss the documentary If You're Happy And You Know It, on musicians who write songs for children, and we learn why kids are the wildest fan base, the traits of a song that helps make it stick with children, and why dancing is so important for little ones. We consider what makes an addiction an addiction, and Susie wonders whether we're all addicted to something.00:00 - Welcome to the Brain Candy Podcast00:23 - Debating Non-Traditional Relationships and Church Rules05:12 - Essential Rules for Group Vacation Rentals14:29 - Susie's Frustration with Uncharged Power Banks19:35 - Navigating Shared Spaces on Group Vacations27:01 - The Wiggles and Kids' Love for Movement35:32 - Exploring Compulsions and Reward Pathways in Life39:07 - Casper Baby Pants and Baby Shark's Origin47:47 - Michigan Bill Protects Young Entrepreneurs50:35 - Support the Show and Join Our CommunityBrain Candy Podcast Website - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/Brain Candy Podcast Book Recommendations - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/books/Brain Candy Podcast Merchandise - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/candy-store/Brain Candy Podcast Candy Club - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/product/candy-club/Brain Candy Podcast Sponsor Codes - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/support-us/Brain Candy Podcast Social Media & Platforms:Brain Candy Podcast LIVE Interactive Trivia Nights - https://www.youtube.com/@BrainCandyPodcast/streamsBrain Candy Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastHost Susie Meister Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterHost Sarah Rice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBrain Candy Podcast on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodBrain Candy Podcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/braincandy (JOIN FREE - TONS OF REALITY TV CONTENT)Brain Candy Podcast Sponsors, partnerships, & Products that we love:Head to https://airdoctorpro.com and use promo code CANDY to get UP TO $300 off today!

If setting boundaries were easy, we wouldn't need podcasts, books, or frameworks to teach us how to make and hold them. Boundaries are hard. But they're also essential to keeping sanity, strength, and confidence before, during, and after divorce. In this episode, I break down what a boundary actually is, and why most of us were never taught it in the first place.  Most of what we call boundaries are actually requests, expectations, or desperate pleas for someone to finally understand how much they're hurting us. But that's not a boundary. I walk through Pia Mellody's framework from her book Facing Codependence, the difference between external and internal boundaries, and how a real boundary describes what you will do, not what you need someone else to do. From there, I get into consequences versus punishment, why follow through matters more than the perfect script, and why a boundary is never the same thing as a wall.  Boundaries are both internal and external, and they both protect you and contain you. It's not about becoming less loving, it's about creating space for love that doesn't require losing yourself. Maybe the most important boundary you'll ever set is the one inside yourself that says you will no longer abandon yourself to keep someone else comfortable.  What you'll hear about in this episode: Why most of us were never actually taught what a boundary is The difference between external boundaries and internal boundaries Why a boundary describes what you will do, not what you need someone else to do The difference between a boundary consequence and a punishment Why your boundary isn't proven by whether the other person likes it or not What to do if enforcing a boundary could put you in physical danger Why follow through matters more than the perfect script The internal boundaries you never have to announce to anyone Resources & Links: The D Word: Making the Ultimate Decision About Your MarriageKate Anthony's Complete Parenting Plan Focused Strategy Sessions with Kate The Divorce Strategy ToolkitPhoenix Rising: A Divorce Empowerment CollectiveKate on InstagramKate on FacebookKate's Substack Newsletter: Divorce Coaching DispatchEpisodes are also available YouTube!

In this episode of Luke21, Steve Wood explores the biblical vision of Greater Israel by connecting Ezekiel 47–48, Revelation 21–22, and Romans 4:13. Rather than pointing to modern territorial expansion, Scripture reveals that God's covenant promises to Abraham find their ultimate fulfillment in the new heavens and new earth, where the River of Life brings healing to all nations and God's Kingdom extends worldwide. Listen now to discover why Revelation is the key to understanding Ezekiel's prophecy, how the promises to Abraham culminate in a global inheritance, and why this biblical perspective reshapes today's debates about Israel, prophecy, and the end times.

A wounded sense of worth doesn't stay in childhood. It follows you into your work, your relationships, and the story you tell about who you are. In Part 2, we trace the value wound into adulthood -- the achievement treadmill that never stops, the relationships where love never quite feels safe, the inner critic that renders verdicts instead of feedback. Then we look at how a value wound shapes identity, why identity crises are often doorways rather than disasters, and what genuine healing actually looks like. IN THIS EPISODE How the value wound shows up at work: perfectionism, imposter syndrome, the inability to rest How it shows up in relationships: over-giving, chronic reassurance-seeking, difficulty receiving love The inner critic as internalized shame -- and why it renders verdicts, not feedback How a wounded sense of worth produces a borrowed identity built on roles and approval Why an identity crisis is often growth pushing back -- not something going wrong What healing looks like -- and why it requires more than insight If the borrowed identity fell away -- the role, the title, the thing you're known for -- what would be left? Is that terrifying? Or is there something in you that's curious about finding out?

Boundaries are taught as a property line, enforced by a consequence, triggered by how you feel. Almost nothing is taught about lifting one. In Part 1 of this two-part episode I lay out the four things that go wrong in how boundaries are commonly taught, and why a tool meant to protect a marriage keeps getting used to end it.

Sober Confidential: Growing Quietly with Personal Care, Boundaries, Gratitude, and Creative Living, and Becoming the Person You Were Always Meant to BeIt's been a while since I sat down behind the microphone, and I didn't want to come back with a big announcement or a polished message. I just wanted to have an honest conversation.Lately I've been thinking about personal care, slowing down, protecting my energy, setting healthier boundaries, and learning that not everything has to be shared. Sometimes the most important growth happens quietly, away from the spotlight, while you're simply living your life.In this episode I talk about gratitude and how it changed the way I see my work, my relationships, my creativity, and myself. I share some thoughts on how we change as people, how our brains continue to evolve, and why it's okay to outgrow old habits, old expectations, and even old versions of ourselves.I also share a little about Sober Confidential, the book I've been writing, and why this season of my life feels different. Less about proving something and more about building a life that feels peaceful, meaningful, and sustainable.This isn't a lesson or a speech. It's just a conversation.I'm glad you're here.

Why can taking PTO, stepping away during the holidays, leaving on time, or protecting even one hour for yourself feel like letting down your team or the people you love? This week, Dr. Ernie Ward and Beckie Mossor, MPA, RVT, unpack the guilt veterinary professionals often carry when they step away from the clinic. Their message is simple: feeling guilty is not the same as being selfish, and discomfort does not mean a boundary is wrong. Beckie reflects on her own evolution from a “baby technician” who felt she had something to prove to someone who learned that rest and boundaries are worth the initial discomfort. As she reminds listeners, “You can't expect that free time to just come.” Even five, ten, or fifteen protected minutes can be a meaningful place to begin, and, after taking that time, “you do come back better.” Ernie shares the lesson that has guided him through decades in veterinary medicine: “If I were trying to protect my time to improve my overall health, that was not selfish. It was essential.” In fact, he makes a strong case for how protecting your well-being can help you better support your family, coworkers, clients, and patients over the long term. Our hosts also challenge practice owners, managers, medical directors, and teammates to examine the culture surrounding PTO and self-care. Comments like “must be nice” or “I wish I could do that” can turn time spent on personal growth into shame. Thoughtful scheduling, appropriate coverage, and genuine encouragement can make healthy boundaries possible, and business leaders must lead by example. They also point out that self-care is not limited to vacations or spa days. It may be a walk, a workout, a chapter of a book, a few quiet minutes, or meaningful time with the people you love. The goal is not perfect balance. It is returning with more energy, patience, and perspective, and building a veterinary career that leaves room for a life beyond the clinic. #VetMed #VetTechLife #VeterinaryWellbeing #PracticeManagement #WorkLifeBalance

Most of us know Stinging Nettle for one thing: the sting.The moment of discomfort. The instinct to pull away. The warning to stay back.But what if the sting isn't the whole story?In this episode of #Napcast, Nick and Mike explore the wisdom of Stinging Nettle...a plant that protects, nourishes, and heals. Through its lessons, we ask a deeper question: What if the behaviors that challenge us most are also protecting something important?Together, we unpack the difference between correction and curiosity. The boundaries children communicate before they have the words to explain them. And the gifts we risk missing when we only focus on the moments that hurt.Because Stinging Nettle reminds us:Protection is not the opposite of love.Boundaries are not the opposite of connection.And a child is never just their hardest moment.Join us as we explore what it means to look beyond the sting, discover the medicine underneath, and create classrooms where children don't need to reach for their stingers as often.

You can't tell the story of art and social change without visiting the brilliant minds of the Harlem Renaissance. For Dr. Minkah Makalani, Associate Professor and Director of the Center for Africana Studies at Johns Hopkins University, that's an area of particular interest and scholarship. He joins us to illustrate how the co-mingling of art and politics was present then, and draw a throughline to how artists and creators interact with our political systems today.Learn more about Dr. Makalani's work here.This season of Race Unwrapped is supported by the Kentucky Center for African American Heritage, and by our listeners.

What if the wisdom you keep searching for is already yours?Mari Wuellner did what many of us were taught to do: work hard, build the business, earn the recognition, care for the family, and keep moving. From the outside, her life looked successful. From the inside, she was operating on a blueprint that no longer felt like her own.After a panic attack forced her to slow down, Mari began redefining success around freedom, joy, rest, and choices she could genuinely claim as hers. That journey eventually took her back to Florence, where she had lived as a pregnant 20-year-old during one of the hardest seasons of her life.Mari returned with the journal she had kept all those years ago. She planned to write back to her younger self with the wisdom of experience. Instead, she discovered that the young woman she had been still carried the hope her present-day self needed.In this conversation, Kimberly and Mari explore:How conventional success can quietly become default modeWhy so many of us wait for permission we do not actually needThe difference between outside recognition and inner freedomWhat old journals and earlier versions of ourselves can revealMari's define, design, and demand frameworkWhy an unsuccessful experiment is information, not an indictmentHow to build work around life instead of sacrificing life to workMari is an entrepreneur, storyteller, life coach, and founder of The Crew Coaching Collective.

From Hawai‘i, we talk through the difference between love and access, and why A Course in Miracles doesn't ask us to use metaphysical ideas to override present, practical guidance. For us, that's the heart of it: love stays universal, but availability is specific, and discernment can be deeply kind.We share how the ego hijacks spirituality with concepts like “no boundaries,” turning them into self-sacrifice, superiority, or compulsive people pleasing. We unpack manipulation and guilt without making anyone wrong, and we use examples like Edgar Cayce's depletion to show why “giving” without guidance can quietly become attack on the self. We also look at a clean inner test: does your choice come with gratitude and peace, or does it come with resentment, obligation, fear, and bargaining?Then the conversation shifts into relationships and intimacy with a real dilemma: a close friendship becomes “couplehood,” but attraction is missing, old trauma gets activated, and honesty is delayed to avoid hurting someone. We break down why “I don't want to hurt them” can mask control, why attraction can't be manufactured, and how to speak truth without blaming bodies, diagnosing the other person, or trying to manage their reaction. The goal isn't a perfect script, it's integrity, consent, and communication that lets the form change without panic.If you've ever confused forgiveness with tolerating what isn't aligned, or confused spirituality with being endlessly available, this will reset your compass.

Trying to explain your feelings to a narcissist is like trying to explain color to someone who refuses to open their eyes, most of them don't respect your emotions or your boundaries, they respect consequences. In this video, I break down three things that could actually make a narcissist think twice: the no‑explanation boundary, the immediate if/then consequence, and emotional indifference when they test your limits. As a clinically diagnosed, self‑aware narcissist, I show you how long explanations become a roadmap to argue with you, why an unenforced boundary is just a speed bump, and how removing emotional reactions turns you into a “high‑cost, low‑reward” target. If you're tired of setting boundaries that get ignored, this video will give you language, leverage, and practical examples to help you hold the line safely. Remember: be the wall, not the mirror because nothing changes if nothing changes.Contact me here - https://link.me/mentalhealness

To discuss her mission through 1 Million Lives Transform, a global movement helping women unmute their voices and lead with authenticity and confidence. To provide actionable strategies for overcoming self-doubt, fear, and imposter syndrome in professional and personal settings. Key Takeaways Background and Roles Served 20 years in law enforcement and continues teaching criminal justice and ethical leadership. Founder of 1 Million Lives Transform, focused on empowering women to reclaim their voices. Unmuting Your Voice Many professionals mute themselves due to fear, lack of confidence, or imposter syndrome. Techniques: Awareness: Recognize when you’re silencing yourself. Pause and breathe before responding. Stand up when speaking in meetings to command attention and project confidence. Use phrases like “I’d like to build on that point” to engage respectfully. Mindset and Fear What you tell yourself matters more than external criticism. Replace negative self-talk with affirmations and surround yourself with positive influences. Neuroscience supports that repeated positive input rewires thought patterns. Boundaries and Time Management Learn to say “No” as a complete sentence. Set boundaries for phone calls and social interactions to protect productivity. Busy professionals should establish communication rules (e.g., “Do you have a minute?”). Authenticity and Leadership Authenticity is key—embrace your natural gifts and use them to transform spaces. Leadership requires mindset shifts when moving from peer to manager roles. Mentorship should be intentional and specific, not generic (“pick your brain” requests need structure). 1 Million Lives Transform A movement to help women rewrite their narratives, reclaim confidence, and lead boldly. Focus on self-awareness, boundaries, and empowerment strategies. Notable Quotes “Notice in that moment that you are muting yourself.” “Stand up when you speak—you command the room.” “No is a complete sentence.” “Our gifts are not for us; they are for other people.” “What you say to yourself does more damage than anything anyone else could say.” “Authenticity isn’t lip service—it’s showing up as who you truly are.” “Boundaries are not selfish; they are necessary.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSteve Harvey Morning Show Online: http://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Are you bringing home more than just your briefcase at the end of a long workday? For many, the hidden toll of workplace stress doesn't stay behind at the office—it seeps into our most intimate relationships, silently undermining connection, emotional safety, and even physical closeness. It's a problem so common and subtle that many don't realize work is affecting their love life until the damage is already done. In this episode, listeners are invited to uncover the overlooked ways that work stress spills over into the home, affecting both partners' emotional well-being and the overall health of their relationship. The conversation explores how chronic pressure at work can disrupt intimacy, communication, and even one's sex drive, while providing practical strategies and ritual ideas to help couples reclaim their connection. Through actionable tips on communication, intentional transitions, and building emotional resilience, this episode offers a roadmap for transforming work-induced disconnect into renewed connection and support. Dr. Guy Winch is an internationally renowned psychologist and bestselling author who advocates for integrating the science of emotional health into our daily lives. His 3 TED Talks have garnered over 35 million views, and his science-based self-help books have been translated into 30 languages: Emotional First Aid, How to Fix a Broken Heart, and The Squeaky Wheel. His newest book is Mind Over Grind: How to Break Free When Work Hijacks Your Life (Simon & Schuster).   Episode Highlights 05:52 How work stress and burnout manifest in relationships. 09:40 The emotional ripple effect: How one partner's stress impacts the other. 12:13 Negative cycles: Perceptions, attachment, and relational downward spirals. 14:55 Naming stress and practical communication tools. 18:39 Micro-expressions, tone, and the subtle cues we send. 20:32 Regression under stress and the impact on coping skills. 24:22 The power of ritual: Transitioning from work life to home life. 27:59 Engaging the senses: Tools and traditions for mindset shifts. 31:16 Intentionality, agency, and the value of compartmentalization. 33:50 Boundaries around work talk and rekindling couple connection. 38:45 Empathy, understanding bids for connection, and reframing relationship challenges.   Your Checklist of Actions to Take Establish a Daily Transition Ritual: Create a routine that signals the shift from work to home life, such as listening to calming music, changing clothes, or lighting a specific candle to help your brain shift gears. Name Your Emotional State: Verbally acknowledge your mood or stress level to your partner when you arrive home, reducing uncertainty and fostering understanding. Communicate Your Needs: Clearly state if you need time to decompress before interacting, setting expectations, and providing your partner with context. Use Venting and Problem-Solving Time: Divide post-work conversations into venting and solution-focused segments, aiming to wrap up with action steps or reframing to avoid lingering stress. Compartmentalize Work Worries: Write down concerns and physically or psychologically "put them away," or schedule "worry time" later, allowing you to be more present at home. Limit Work Talk Boundaries: Set aside a defined period to talk about your day with your partner, then intentionally shift focus to non-work connection and relaxation. Foster Quick Emotional Connection: Engage in brief but meaningful actions such as holding hands, reminiscing over old photos, or talking about a shared show to nurture emotional intimacy even when tired. Practice Mutual Empathy: Intentionally try to imagine your partner's day and emotional needs, using empathy as a tool to bridge gaps and prevent misinterpretations caused by stress or depletion.   Mentioned Mind Over Grind (*Amazon Affiliate link) (book) How to Fix a Broken Heart (*Amazon Affiliate link) (book) Emotional First Aid (*Amazon Affiliate link) (book) The Squeaky Wheel (*Amazon Affiliate link) (book) Shifting Criticism For Connected Communication (free relationship guide) Connect with Dr. Guy Winch Website: guywinch.com Facebook: facebook.com/guywinchauthor X: twitter.com/guywinch YouTube: youtube.com/@GuyWinch Instagram: instagram.com/guywinch LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/guywinch
