In this Coaching Hotline episode, I'm answering two listener questions that are all too familiar if you've ever gotten sucked into social media comparison or felt like you're constantly navigating emotional landmines with family. The first is about how to stop feeling awful about yourself every time you scroll through Instagram, comparing yourself to others or feeling like you're not doing enough. The second question is about dealing with a family member who's set boundaries that leave you feeling rejected. This episode will teach you how to separate your feelings from someone else's behavior, take full responsibility for your emotional life, and stop outsourcing your worth to others.

In this episode of Ambition 2.0, Amanda Goetz sits down with psychotherapist and Toxic Productivity author Israa Nasir to unpack why so many high-achieving women feel constantly behind, overwhelmed, and unable to rest—even when they're doing “everything right.” Israa explains how productivity often becomes a coping mechanism for shame, fear, and feeling “not good enough,” and why no system, planner, or habit hack can fix that. Together, they talk about the early warning signs of toxic productivity (including resentment and the phrase “I just need to get through next week”), how unhealed wounds show up at work through perfectionism and feedback sensitivity, and why rest isn't a reward—it's a requirement. They also talk about how convenience culture and “main character energy” are quietly eroding community, why boundaries shouldn't be rigid walls, and what it really takes to build a sustainable, values-aligned relationship with ambition. In this episode, you'll learn: Why productivity is often emotional avoidance, not motivation The earliest signs your productivity has turned toxic How reparenting shows up in your career (feedback, perfectionism, taking up space) The 7 types of rest (and no, scrolling doesn't count) Why convenience is costing us connection and how to build community again 00:00 Intro 04:17 When productivity becomes toxic 09:07 Reparenting at work 15:11 Boundaries 101 18:16 Hyper-optimizing “self-improvement” 26:21 Contentment vs complacency (and the “both/and” mindset) 28:06 The 7 types of rest 31:42 Convenience vs connection 38:28 Rapid-fire questions GUEST LINKS IG: https://www.instagram.com/well.guide/ Subscribe to Well Guide: https://israanasir.substack.com/ https://www.israanasir.com/ Read Toxic Productivity: https://bookshop.org/a/116169/9781962305358 FOLLOW THE PODCAST IG: https://www.instagram.com/girlboss/ | TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@girlboss Amanda Goetz: https://www.instagram.com/theamandagoetz/ https://girlboss.com/pages/ambition-2-0-podcast SIGN UP Subscribe to the Girlboss Daily newsletter: https://newsletter.girlboss.com/ For all other Girlboss links: https://linkin.bio/girlboss/ ABOUT AMBITION 2.0Powered by Girlboss, Ambition 2.0 is a podcast where we'll be exploring what it really means to “have it all” in work, family, identity, and self… and if it's actually worth it.

Send us a textDo holiday conversations, workplace tension, or family dynamics leave you emotionally drained and unsure how to respond? At mid-career, the pressure to stay composed, supportive, and “professional” can feel exhausting, especially when stress is already high in your job or career.In this episode of The Mid-Career GPS Podcast, I introduce a simple but powerful communication tool called the Three H's. With one clarifying question, you can stop guessing, set healthier boundaries, and respond with intention rather than frustration.The Three H's question is simple and direct: Do you want me to hear you, help you, or hug you?That single question creates clarity, consent, and emotional safety in conversations at work, at home, and everywhere in between.I break down how each option works in real life and why this framework is especially valuable for mid-career professionals navigating leadership pressure, burnout, and complex relationships.Mid-career professionals are often expected to manage emotions, solve problems, and stay composed, even when they feel overwhelmed themselves. This episode explores how the Three H's can help you:De-escalate tense conversations without withdrawing or over-functioningSet boundaries around hot-button topics at work or with familyRespond to dismissive or frustrating comments with calm confidenceExit conversations that do not respect your limitsAdvocate for your own needs without overexplaining or apologizingIf you manage people, this framework can also transform your leadership approach. Opening one-on-ones with the Three H's reduces advice overload, builds trust, and helps your team feel genuinely supported.Ask for What You Need Without GuiltI flip the script and show you how to use the Three H's to advocate for yourself. You can ask for a listening ear, targeted help, or comfort and connection. You will also learn why it is healthy to accept that not everyone is available to meet your needs at all times.That realization alone can reduce resentment, stress, and emotional burnout during a demanding season of life and career.Support the showReady to give your career the jumpstart it needs to whatever is next?

A conversation worth revisiting. Mónica Guzmán's work captures the spirit of Talkin' Politics & Religion Without Killin' Each Other at its best: fearlessly curious, deeply humane, and committed to bridging divides without sacrificing conviction. In this Best of TP&R episode, Corey revisits his wide-ranging and deeply grounded conversation with Mónica Guzmán — journalist, author of I Never Thought of It That Way, Senior Fellow for Public Practice at Braver Angels, and one of the most trusted voices in America's bridge-building movement. Together, they explore why outrage so easily masquerades as moral clarity, how curiosity can act as a cooling force in moments of political rage, and why dialogue and activism are not opposing paths but necessary partners. Mónica reflects candidly on her own fears, boundaries, and doubts — including how to know when understanding must give way to action, and how to stay vigilant without becoming certain too quickly. This conversation also digs into free speech, Congress's abdication of responsibility, the ethics of moderation and “proven falsehoods,” and why policing structure rather than content may be one of the most overlooked tools for healthier public discourse. If you're new to TP&R — or if you've been looking for a hopeful, serious, and intellectually honest entry point into what this show is about — this episode remains one of our clearest expressions of that mission.

Notable Quotes “Engagement is not endorsement.” “Dialogue without activism is navel-gazing. Activism without dialogue is doomed.” “Certainty is tempting — vigilance is harder.” “Sometimes courage looks like not burning the bridge.” Connect with Corey Corey is @coreysnathan on all the socials...

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit stayorgo.substack.comTwo days before Christmas can feel especially heavy when you are quietly considering divorce. The holidays have a way of magnifying everything: the grief, the pressure to perform, the old family dynamics, and the fear of being asked questions you are not ready to answer.In this episode, I pull you in close with warmth and honesty. I share a story I had forgotten until I found it in my journals: a Christmas with my in-laws when something deeply personal about my faith journey was shared before I was ready. What followed was a long, well intentioned but deeply dysregulating family conversation that left me feeling exposed, overwhelmed, and pushed into the familiar role so many of us know well: explaining, caretaking, and managing everyone else's emotions.That experience brings us to the core message of this episode: you do not owe anyone answers.Not about your marriage. Not about your timeline. Not about the parts of you that are still tender and unfolding. It is not your job to make your life make sense to other people, especially during the holidays when old patterns of people pleasing and codependency are at their loudest.We talk about how these patterns tend to show up this time of year: staying with family even when it makes you feel trapped, overcommitting to keep the peace, avoiding alone time, overexplaining, staying quiet to avoid conflict, and prioritizing everyone else's comfort while your own nervous system is stretched thin.I offer language you can use when conversations turn invasive, along with permission to let others feel uncomfortable without rushing to fix it. We also spend time on nervous system support and practical ways to protect your peace, from creating small pockets of solitude to rethinking logistics like where you stay, how you travel, and how long you remain at gatherings.Most of all, this episode is a reminder that you matter during the holidays. Your peace matters. You are allowed to choose yourself, even imperfectly, even quietly, even when it disappoints others. You do not have to explain your way into being understood. You are allowed to protect what is sacred while you are still becoming.Show Notes:Subscribe to Stay or Go on SubstackThe Live Awake Podcast - Sarah BlondinText 90MIN to 33777 to book a 90-Minute Session with me. ✨Text STAYORGOCOMMUNITY to 33777 to join the community. ⚡️Text EMAILME to 33777 for the free tarot guide using ChatGPT.

Join Mike and Tim as they dive into a lively discussion about the essence of family, identity, and faith. In this episode, they explore the concept of "adoption to sonship" and how it redefines our understanding of belonging and community. With humor and depth, they challenge traditional views and invite listeners to consider a broader perspective on what it means to be part of a spiritual family. Tune in for an engaging conversation that blends theology with everyday life, all wrapped in the warmth of the holiday spirit. In this conversation, the hosts explore the themes of faith, family, and community within Christianity, emphasizing the importance of understanding God as a father and the implications of adoption and sonship. They discuss the cultural context of Jesus' teachings, the role of individualism versus community, and the concept of loyalty to God's family. The conversation also touches on the distinction between bounded and centered sets in faith, ultimately inviting listeners to engage in a communal journey of faith. Takeaways: Christian nationalism is alive and well. Father is a status word, not a gender word. To be a part of Jesus is to be a part of his people. Jesus is not your personal savior. We're playing soccer, not rugby. The early Christians did not sharply distinguish between commitment to God and commitment to God's family. Salvation is a social reunification. You cannot be a part of two groups. Loyalty to God is loyalty to God's people. We are playing soccer, not rugby.

Disclaimer: We are not professionals. This podcast is opinioned based and from life experience. This is for entertainment purposes only. Opinions helped by our guests may not reflect our own. But we love a good conversation.In this episode we read a raw, vulnerable email from a long-time community member whose 14 year marriage has been rocked by emotional cheating, digital infidelity and self-sabotage on both sides. We break down her story of online flirting, texting clients, TikTok DMs, sending “innocent” selfies to other men, performance issues in the bedroom, hormone struggles, deep insecurity, mom burnout, and a husband who now considers them separated. You'll hear us call out rationalizations like “it was just a selfie,” “nothing sexual,” “we were separated in my head,” and “I don't know why I did it,” and dig into the truth about attention-seeking online, fantasy relationships, and how selfies, DMs, and secret conversations become emotional affairs that destroy trust, respect, and intimacy.We walk you through what accountability actually looks like after betrayal, how to stop blame shifting to “internal demons” and past trauma, how to apologize without justifying, and how to rebuild or walk away when digital cheating and emotional affairs have already crossed the line. We talk monogamy, open-phone policies, boundaries with the opposite sex, no-private-DM rules, parasocial relationships, stay-at-home mom resentment, the self-imposed prison of housework, and why your marriage will always mirror the effort you give it. If you're dealing with emotional cheating, online flirting, TikTok and Instagram DMs, low self-worth, or a partner who says you're “separated,” this marriage advice conversation will give you brutal honesty, practical language, and a clear standard for what real change and healing in a relationship actually require.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/2-be-better--5828421/support.
Let's talk about the guilt loop so many Realtors get stuck in: when you're at work, you feel guilty about missing life — and when you're at home, you feel guilty about stepping away from your business. In this special replay of our Hustle Humbly Community Live Zoom, we're diving deep into how to set boundaries during a season that's naturally full of busyness, distraction, and high expectations (hello, holidays). This conversation is packed with relatable stories, powerful mindset shifts, and real advice from agents like you who are trying to find a way to serve their clients *and* show up for their families. Whether you're fighting burnout, feeling pulled in too many directions, or just wondering if it's okay to take a day off — this chat is your permission slip. We also hear from our friend Emily, who stepped away from real estate for a year after a devastating loss, and came back to have her best year ever. Her six takeaways are gold for any Realtor who wants to build a business that serves their life, not one that consumes it. Here's what we cover in this episode: - The mental load of the holiday season and how to protect your time - The quote that helped Alissa let go of the guilt (thanks RBG!) - The false urgency of real estate — and how to recognize *real* emergencies - Why "no" is a full sentence - What it means to actually build a business that serves you - The power of scheduled texts, second phone lines, and a literal "brick" to lock your apps - Why social time *is* work time (hello, database!) - How one agent stepped away from her business — and came back stronger

I share personal holiday moments, common patterns I see with ambitious moms, and simple mindset shifts that help you stop missing your life while you're living it.Topics in this episode:Why presence is the real thing working moms want during the holidays The connection between joy and being mentally present How holiday stress mirrors year-round work-life balance struggles A simple definition of presence that actually works in real life Practical ways to manage your mind so you can enjoy the moments that matterShow Notes & References:Discover all the details about Ambitious & Balanced: www.rebeccaolsoncoaching.com/ambitiousandbalanced Click here to join my email list: https://www.ambitiousandbalanced.com/emaillist Book a free breakthrough call here: https://www.rebeccaolsoncoaching.com/book Boundaries & Balance Holiday Strategy Call: www.ambitiousandbalanced.com/boundaries-and-balance-session You can watch this episode on YouTube!

What if the romance that felt like destiny was actually data collection for control? We sit down with a counselor-in-training who specializes in narcissistic abuse to map the full arc—from the intoxicating highs of love bombing to the quiet, confusing grind of devaluation, gaslighting, and financial isolation. Together we unpack why narcissism is best understood as a spectrum of traits, how shame fuels rage and blame-shifting, and why change is rare without deep humility and accountability.We dig into the types you'll meet at home and work: the charismatic grandiose leader who dazzles in public, the brooding vulnerable type who lives in grievance, and the communal figure who performs virtue while exploiting in private. You'll learn why boundaries often provoke more testing, how to gray rock without second-guessing yourself, and when “no contact” is safest. For those who can't leave yet, we offer practical scripts and strategies to limit engagement, stop taking the bait, and protect your mental space.If you grew up with an emotionally immature or narcissistic parent, this conversation speaks directly to the people-pleasing reflex that ties worth to productivity and usefulness. We guide you to shift from performance to self-worth: naming needs, building small boundary reps, and choosing safe people to celebrate your wins. You'll hear how to grieve the fantasy of who someone should be and accept who they are, so you can stop relying on unsafe partners for joy, validation, or support.Ready to reclaim your power and clarity?

JOIN "THE REBUILT MAN" ON SKOOL - ▶️ www.skool.com/rebootyourlife In this Q&A episode, Coach Frank Rich is joined by Coach Arnold, Head Coach inside The Rebuilt Man Brotherhood, to answer real questions submitted by men who are actively working to break free from porn addiction and rebuild their lives. This conversation goes far beyond tactics. Frank and Arnold address two deeply personal struggles that silently keep many men stuck: • Trying to change others instead of changing yourself • Carrying guilt, anxiety, and responsibility for people you're no longer meant to carry If you're growing, evolving, and starting to feel resistance from relationships around you — this episode will hit home. Questions Answered in This Episode 1️⃣ "My partner and I watch porn together and don't see a problem with it. How should I respond?" Frank breaks down why it's not your job to convince anyone they have a problem and how trying to do so often drains your energy and pulls you back into old patterns. Coach Arnold adds a neuroscience-based perspective, explaining how pairing porn with intimacy can create dangerous conditioning loops in the nervous system. Over time, this can lead to dependency, sexual dysfunction, and the inability to perform without external stimulation. Key takeaway: Real change doesn't come from arguments. It comes from identity, boundaries, and embodied transformation. 2️⃣ "How do I break free from the savior / rescuer / caretaker mentality while still serving my family?" This question opens the door to a powerful discussion on people-pleasing, guilt, and upper-limit problems, especially with extended family. Frank draws a clear line between: • Being a protector and provider inside your home • Being emotionally controlled by guilt outside your home When a man commits to growth, old family dynamics can pull him back into past identities — often becoming a hidden trigger for relapse. Coach Arnold explains how men unconsciously self-sabotage success to avoid outgrowing others, and why boundaries aren't selfish — they're necessary. Key takeaway: You don't prove growth with words. You live it and let others respond how they choose. Core Themes Covered • Why trying to "save" others keeps you stuck • Porn, conditioning, and nervous system wiring • Identity change vs behavior control • People-pleasing as a hidden relapse trigger • Family guilt, boundaries, and masculine leadership • Outgrowing relationships without resentment • Letting action — not arguments — lead transformation This Episode Is For Men Who: • Feel torn between who they were and who they're becoming • Experience guilt when they start doing better than their family • Keep getting pulled back into old patterns around certain people • Want real freedom, not just short streaks • Are ready to lead their life from identity, not fear Join the Brotherhood If you're ready to stop fighting alone and step into a container built for growth, support, and freedom: ➡ Join The Rebuilt Man Skool Community — Free 7-Day Trial www.TheRebuiltMan.com/7dayreset Inside you'll gain access to: Daily accountability Weekly coaching The 7-Day Reset The 12-Week "Reboot Your Life" Framework And a brotherhood of men who refuse to quit – Follow Coach Frank: IG - https://www.instagram.com/coachfrankrich YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@CoachFrankRich Website - https://www.rebuiltrecovery.com/homepage
Send Us a Message!The holidays can be a beautiful strain on the heart—full of memories, expectations, and a thousand quiet reminders of what's changed. We sit down to unpack conscious grieving with open hands: how to honor what hurts, make space for what heals, and choose traditions that actually support your nervous system. This isn't a tidy list of stages; it's a living practice that meets you where you are, whether you're grieving a loved one, a marriage, a job, or an old identity that no longer fits.In this episode, we explore:
In this special holiday episode of First Round's On Me, Joey and Hannah talk about the side of the holidays that rarely makes it into movies or Instagram posts — the heaviness, the distance, the awkward questions, and the quiet loneliness so many people feel this time of year.They open up about fractured family dynamics, spending Christmas alone, navigating intrusive questions about marriage and children, and the grief that comes not from loss — but from disconnection. This conversation is for anyone who doesn't feel at home during the holidays, anyone returning to complicated family environments, and anyone trying to protect their peace while still craving connection.The episode explores how to set boundaries without blowing things up, why lowering expectations can save your mental health, and how chosen family can be just as meaningful as the family you're born into. They also talk about creating new traditions, being vulnerable enough to ask for connection, and finding ways to make the holidays meaningful — even if they don't look “perfect.”If the season feels heavy, this episode is here to remind you: you're not broken, you're not alone, and you're allowed to do the holidays your own way.

If going home for the holidays leaves you anxious, exhausted, or feeling like you're twelve years old again, this is not emotional weakness. This is your nervous system.When you're around your family of origin, the oldest wiring in your brain comes back online. These patterns were built before you had adult self-regulation. Your limbic system reacts fast, old roles resurface, and your regulated adult self can get pushed offline without you realizing it.What you're experiencing is neurological conditioning, not failure. And this season is an opportunity to do something different. You can interrupt the hijack, respond instead of react, and stay grounded even when everyone around you is not.Family of Origin Dysfunction: Why Going Home Dysregulates Your Brain

Neuroscience shows people trust calm, grounded people more than impressive personalities. This flips everything. Real happiness doesn't come from withdrawing from people - or dissolving into them - but from becoming self-anchored and fully present. Independence creates stability; healthy boundaries create intimacy; rejection sharpens inner alignment. When you stop trying to belong and start standing firmly as yourself, community stops being draining and becomes energizing. Confidence, connection, purpose, belonging...turns out they're not opposite. They're interconnected.
We are in a powerful energetic window right now with the Winter Solstice, a New Moon, and a moment of deep reflection and reset. In this Soul Elevation livestream, I explore the energetic reality of people pleasing, boundaries, and the unseen energy exchanges that shape our health, emotions, and life satisfaction. I share personal experiences from my work as a podcast host and former corporate professional to illustrate how over-giving without reciprocity leads to depletion, imbalance, and eventually burnout. This conversation is about understanding your worth as an energetic being and learning how to honor yourself without guilt. We also reflect on the seasonal energy of the Winter Solstice, a natural time of rest, restoration, and inner recalibration. If you have been feeling tired, unmotivated, or in a quiet void, this is not something to fix. It is something to honor. In this episode, you will explore: • Why people pleasing creates energetic imbalance • How energy exchange mirrors a balance sheet • The connection between boundaries and vitality • Recognizing energetic siphoning in relationships and work • How to protect your energy without conflict or guilt • Using the New Moon and Solstice window for intentional reset This is not about keeping score or tit for tat relationships. It is about honoring your energy, recognizing reciprocity, and stepping into self respect as a spiritual practice.

A raw, reflective journey through the political upheavals, personal reckonings, and hard-won hope of 2025. Episode Summary Corey takes us on a tour of 2025's most pivotal moments—both in politics and in his own life. He recounts the Trump administration's controversial actions, the assassination of Charlie Kirk, and civic responses like the No Kings Rallies. Interwoven are deeply personal stories: Corey's mental health struggles, the loss of a friendship, and a psychotic break that led to crucial self-reflection. But it's also a celebration: of the TP&R community, of new collaborations with Pew Research Center and Weave, and of the many courageous conversations shared on the pod. From Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde to Governor John Kasich, from wildfires to wake-up calls, 2025 was a year of complexity—and Corey captures it all with honesty and heart.

In this empowering episode of Coaching In Session, host Michael Rearden sits down with resilience coach Ronni Landeck to explore how resilience, self-awareness, and personal responsibility shape a fulfilled and purpose-driven life.Ronni shares her personal journey into coaching and the lessons learned along the way including the importance of owning your story, understanding your core values, and embracing joy in the present moment rather than waiting for a "perfect future."Together, Michael and Ronni dive into why so many high achievers feel stuck, the role of pain as a teacher, and why self-compassion is the foundation of genuine personal growth. They discuss how resilience isn't just about bouncing back, it's about becoming stronger, clearer, and more aligned with who you truly are.If you're ready to elevate your mindset, find clarity in your career, and live with greater presence and confidence, this conversation is for you.
How do we prioritize ourselves, especially during seasons of contraction, transition, and overwhelm? It's about reconnecting to your natural rhythms, honoring the wisdom of winter as a time of rest and introspection, and scheduling yourself first so your life reflects what you actually value. My favorite way to reclaim my energy and prioritize myself is by filling my cup until it overflows. This becomes the most sustainable way to support others. Self-prioritization isn't selfish but a sacred responsibility, and thoughts, emotions, and dreams offer a map for healing old wounds and reclaiming your energy. I also speak about discerning which feelings belong to you versus the collective, the importance of energetic sovereignty, and simple practices for calling your power back so you can move through the world with clarity, intuition, and grounded presence.

Holiday anxiety is real for men, even though most of us never say it out loud. Between family expectations, social pressure, financial strain, overstimulation, and the quiet internal battle to “keep the peace,” December becomes one of the most emotionally draining months of the year for men. In this powerful REBUILT episode, Michael-David breaks down why so many men feel anxious, irritable, overwhelmed, or disconnected during the holidays - even when nothing is “wrong.” Through the lens of psychology, neuroscience, masculine identity, boundaries, and faith, this conversation helps men finally understand the hidden pressures they carry and how to navigate this season without losing themselves. You'll learn: • why holiday gatherings trigger anxiety and overstimulation for high-responsibility men • how childhood conditioning shapes your ability to set boundaries today • the neuroscience behind overwhelm, irritability, and emotional shutdown • why alcohol becomes a coping mechanism for men this time of year - and how to stay in control • how hydration, nutrition, and micro-rest regulate the male nervous system • how to set strong, healthy boundaries without guilt or conflict • practical phrases you can use to protect your peace without disrespecting anyone • the spiritual impact of surrendering holiday pressure to God • the “boy underneath” every man who still seeks safety, understanding, and acceptance You'll also hear a vulnerable story from Michael-David's childhood and how an uncle quietly modeled healthy boundaries long before he understood what boundaries meant. Plus, a powerful reminder that honoring your limits isn't weakness… it's leadership. If you're a man who feels stretched thin during the holidays … if you're tired of absorbing everyone else's emotions … if gatherings drain you more than they fill you … or if you've struggled to express your needs without shame… This episode will feel like a breath you didn't know you were holding. Share this with a brother who needs support this season ... and remember: You don't have to carry the weight alone. Your presence is enough. Rise rebuilt.
This episode of The Underground Lounge brings an unfiltered, hilarious, and insightful conversation with one of the WNBA's most dynamic personalities DiJonai Carrington. From the jump, the vibe is loose, honest, and full of laughs, but it quickly turns into a deep dive on what it really takes to survive and thrive at the highest level of women's basketball.DiJonai opens up about growing up in a true sports family, being surrounded by elite athletes and coaches from day one, and how that environment shaped her edge, toughness, and love for competition. She talks about playing multiple sports, including tackle football, and how that physical background still shows up in her game today.The conversation shifts into her journey to Stanford, manifesting her dream school at a young age, graduating early, and the discipline required to balance elite athletics with academics.One of the most powerful moments of the episode centers on the reality of injuries in women's basketball, especially ACL tears, and the growing conversations around why female athletes are more susceptible. The discussion is honest, personal, and educational, touching on everything from youth sports to long-term health.The episode also dives into life off the court game day routines, superstitions (or lack thereof), how players prepare mentally, and the similarities between athletes and entertainers when it comes to performance pressure.Things heat up when the topic turns to social media, online trolls, and dealing with constant criticism in the public eye. DiJonai breaks down how she handles hate, why responding sometimes matters, and how the WNBA's growing visibility has brought both opportunity and backlash. The guys also discuss whether controversy helps or hurts the league and how personalities are changing the way fans engage with women's sports.The episode closes with an in-depth look at the business side of the WNBA free agency, lack of loyalty, constant roster turnover, and why so many players are betting on themselves heading into a new CBA. They also talk about alternative leagues, offseason opportunities, and what the future of women's basketball could look like if players truly get their share.

Welcome back to Part 2 of this unfiltered, in-depth conversation with Dr. Orion Taraban. After laying the psychological groundwork in Part 1, Lisa Bilyeu and Dr. Taraban dive even deeper, breaking down gendered attraction strategies, healthy relationship “marketing,” and why understanding the captain vs. passenger analogy could forever change the way you approach dating and love. In this segment, Dr. Taraban unpacks the mechanics of authentic vs. performative displays of competence, the profound importance of relationship “mission statements,” and why both partners should rigorously inspect what they're signing up for before setting sail. The conversation doesn't shy away from sticky subjects: sex, exclusivity, money, “testing” your partner, and how so many women mistake potential for reality. If you're ready for raw, research-backed advice on navigating modern romance from a place of strength, you won't want to miss this.

Boundaries aren't about being mean — they're about being clear. This week on Getting Better, JVN sits down with Melissa Urban, founder of Whole30 and a leading voice on boundaries, to talk about how to set limits that actually stick — especially when emotions, history, and guilt get involved. From defining what a boundary really is (hint: it's not just what you say, it's what you do), to navigating boundaries at work, in relationships, and even with yourself, Melissa breaks down the practical steps that make boundaries sustainable instead of exhausting. Together, they dive into when “no contact” is the healthiest option, how to recover after a boundary gets crossed, and why patience — with others and yourself — is a key part of the process. JVN also shares their own personal experience going no contact, what self-care looks like when you're holding firm to your limits, and how to get “back on the boundary horse” when things don't go perfectly the first time. If you've ever struggled with people-pleasing, second-guessing yourself, or holding a boundary without spiraling — this episode is your permission slip to do it differently.

Day 4 of the Emotional Reset 7-Day Journey focuses on grounding through inner stability. Building on the foundation of nervous system regulation, this episode explores how stillness, focused attention, and embodied awareness support emotional balance. You'll be guided through a calming meditation using Gyan Mudra, a traditional hand gesture shown to support focus and nervous system regulation through sensory feedback. Grounded in neuroscience and somatic awareness, this practice helps quiet mental noise and cultivate a sense of clarity that can be accessed anywhere. Day 4 reminds us that grounding doesn't always come from the outside — sometimes it's found in the quiet steadiness within. ALL ABOUT THIS WEEK'S SERIES This week on The Daily Meditation Podcast, we're beginning a special 7-day meditation series designed to help you gently release emotional buildup and reconnect with a sense of calm, clarity, and inner balance. So many of us move through our days carrying emotions we never had time to process — lingering stress, emotional fatigue, or subtle tension that quietly accumulates. This series offers a supportive pause, giving your nervous system space to settle and your emotional world room to reset. Each day, you'll be guided through a short meditation with a specific emotional focus, following a gentle daily arc that builds naturally across the week. We'll move from releasing emotional residue, to resting and grounding the nervous system, to creating emotional boundaries, self-soothing, restoring balance, and finally embodying calm presence. You don't need to prepare, analyze, or do anything extra. Simply listening each day is enough. Each meditation stands on its own, while also supporting a deeper sense of emotional ease as the week unfolds. Whether you listen to one episode or join us for the full 7-day journey, this series is an invitation to slow down, soften, and reconnect with yourself. This is day 4 of a 7-day meditation series, "Emotional Reset: Your 7-Day Plan," episodes 3430-3436. YOUR WEEKLY CHALLENGE: "The Gentle Reset Challenge" Pause once daily. Hand on heart. Name the emotion. No fixing. THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY Day 1: Release Emotional Residue Visualization Day 2: Affirmation: "I allow my emotions to move through me with ease and compassion."
