After over 20 years in corporate leadership, she founded Corluma, a consultancy for heart-centered transformation. She is the author of Enough: Finding Peace in a World of Distractions, Hustle, and Expectations, which invites readers to let go of comparison and embrace their worth. Barbara has also brought her message to the stage with a one-woman show exploring identity, boundaries, and grace. A late-in-life mother of two, she blends personal insight with professional expertise to empower others with confidence, purpose, and joy.Throughout this episode, Barbara speaks candidly about leaving corporate life for a more authentic and creative path. She highlights the value of honesty over small talk, the courage to admit struggles, and the deeper connections that follow.

Emotional repression is often invisible to high performers, and it can be one of the biggest barriers to sustainable success. In this episode of Trauma Rewired, we explore how trauma-shaped survival responses like fight, flight, freeze, and fawn can create patterns of overwork, perfectionism, and emotional disconnection. You'll learn how subconscious repression differs from conscious suppression, how shame and perfectionism drive overachievement, and why even big business milestones can feel hollow when your nervous system isn't safe enough to process emotions. Our guest, Margy Feldhuhn, shares her journey from multi–seven-figure business growth fueled by survival patterns to building capacity for joy, presence, and connection through Neurosomatic Intelligence (NSI) tools and regular emotional processing. We break down the health risks, relational costs, and business consequences of chronic repression and give you strategies to expand your emotional capacity so you can actually enjoy the success you've built.

Sometimes the most powerful lessons come when we pause long enough to reflect on where we've been. Marking a year since Bayleigh Soza joined Small Changes Big Shifts as co-host, she and Dr. Michelle Robin share heartfelt stories about calling, growth, and the courage to embrace change at every stage of life. Through laughter, honesty, and wisdom across generations, they remind us that thriving isn't about checking boxes—it's about finding joy, setting boundaries, building community, and choosing to live in alignment with what truly matters. Key Takeaways: Reflecting on consistent themes in your life can reveal your calling and guide your next steps. True growth often requires discomfort, but leaning into it brings new opportunities and resilience. Boundaries are essential, but so is staying open to connection, community, and support. Generational perspectives can expand your understanding and help you see life through a wider lens. Joy is found in small daily choices that align with your values and nurture your well-being.   Connect with Dr. Michelle and Bayleigh at: https://smallchangesbigshifts.com hello@smallchangesbigshifts.com https://www.linkedin.com/company/smallchangesbigshifts https://www.facebook.com/SmallChangesBigShifts https://www.instagram.com/smallchangesbigshiftsco   Thanks for listening!

In this conversation, Kreed Revere addresses the emotional turmoil experienced by estranged parents, emphasizing the distinction between punishment and protection in parent-child relationships. He explores the complexities of healing, boundaries, and the importance of mutual consent in relationships. Revere encourages parents to reframe their understanding of their children's behaviors and to recognize their own emotional pain while validating their children's need for space and healing.TakeawaysA belief of being punished by the adult child can keep parents stuck in pain.Adult children are often protecting themselves, not punishing their parents.Understanding the difference between punishment and protection can shift perspectives.Boundaries set by children are not acts of cruelty but necessary for their healing.Both parents' grief and children's need for protection can coexist.Self-compassion is essential for growth during estrangement.www.TheEstrangedHeart.comEmail: hello@TheEstrangedHeart.comWork with Kreed: https://theestrangedheart.com/services(private coaching, mediation, support groups, webinars, etc.)The Heart Collective: https://theestrangedheart.com/membershipFacebook Support Group for Estranged Moms (facilitated by Kreed)https://www.facebook.com/groups/estrangedmotherssupportgroupTo support the podcast and Kreed's work with estranged and reconciled parents and adult children: https://buymeacoffee.com/kreedrevere

“I deserve to be adored. I deserve to be cherished. I also deserve to not have to wonder if something is going on. That's my boundary — and that brings me peace.”  – Eve,   When betrayal shatters your world, the path forward can feel impossible to find. In this deeply moving episode, I sit down with one of my amazing clients, Eve, who bravely shares her journey through infidelity, devastation, and the long road back to herself. Together, we walk through the raw reality of what it's like to reach out for help, set boundaries, and slowly begin to heal. Whether you're in the thick of betrayal or wondering what's possible for you on the other side, Eve's courage will give you hope, clarity, and the reassurance that you are not alone.   Top 3 Takeaways: You're not crazy, you're not alone. Hearing another woman's real story can dissolve shame and remind you that your feelings are normal and valid. Boundaries bring peace. Even when the road is messy, clarity around what you will and won't accept sets you free. Healing is built step by step. Small choices and daily practices of self-trust add up to powerful transformation over time.   Favorite Quote: “Anytime I think about making a different decision, I don't feel peace. And I always know to go with my peace.” – Eve

In this episode of PivotMe, April dives into one of the sneakiest ways we sabotage ourselves: saying yes after a string of no's. Our brains often trick us into believing we “deserve” a reward after sacrifice—even if that yes derails our goals. April shares how to recognize this moment of weakness, why it happens, and how to build the self-awareness needed to stay aligned with your bigger vision. She emphasizes the importance of being intentional in decision-making, ensuring that every yes or no moves you closer to the life and business you're building. What You'll Learn in This Episode: How your brain uses “rewards” to justify a yes after multiple no's. How to be intentional in decision-making and outsmart your brain. The power of saying the fourth no with the same energy as the first. Why awareness is the first step in stopping sabotage. Quote to Remember: “Your brain will try to trick you into a yes after sacrifice—but the true reward is staying aligned with your goals.” – April Key Takeaway: High performers don't just say no once—they say no consistently, even when their brain is screaming for an easy yes. That consistency is where the magic happens. ______________________________________

Episode Summary: This episode is about confronting hard truths, establishing healthy boundaries, and the emotional freedom that comes from prioritizing our mental health over lifelong dysfunction. Susan Snow reflects on the moment she was written out of her mother's will—and why she still chose peace. She shares how understanding her self-worth allowed her to walk away without hate, guilt, or shame. Susan and the hosts explore how generational trauma, guilt-based parenting, and enabling behaviors can trap us in cycles of self-doubt. With courage, grace, and deep empathy, Susan discusses walking away from a toxic parent, standing in her truth, and becoming the mother, partner, and coach she always hoped to be. SEO Keywords: mental health boundaries, toxic family relationships, PTSD recovery, trauma coaching, choosing peace, mother-daughter estrangement, emotional freedom, forgiveness and healing, Susan Snow, journaling for mental health Meet Susan Snow Susan Snow is a courageous and heartfelt speaker whose life story shines as a beacon of healing and hope. At just 17, Susan's world was shattered when her father, LAPD Detective Thomas C. Williams, was ambushed and murdered on Halloween night in 1985. That moment changed everything, pulling her into the depths of grief and trauma. In the years that followed, Susan faced PTSD, loss, and the long, complicated process of rebuilding her life. But instead of letting the darkness define her, she turned her pain into purpose. By embracing vulnerability and speaking her truth, she has shown that healing is possible—even after unimaginable events. Today, Susan is the Author of a profoundly moving book that reminds us of two powerful truths: life can change in an instant, and recovery is always within reach. Whether speaking on stage or connecting through virtual events, Susan doesn't just share her story—she invites people into it. She creates space for others to see themselves, to grieve, to forgive, and to find their own resilience. Her signature talks, “Other Side of the Gun: Hope Through the Journey of Grief, PTSD, and Empowerment” and “Forgiveness vs. Forgetting,” go beyond inspiration. They offer honest guidance, compassion, and a roadmap for choosing hope over pain.

Sometimes we need to set boundaries in our lives with the people we know, but what does that look like and how can we do it in a healthy way? Brittanie uses her own experience as well as a biblical story to demonstrate how we can do this!

Send us a textHave you fallen into the trap of taking your partner for granted? When comfort turns to complacency, even the strongest PMDD relationships can crumble.Relationships where one partner has Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder come with unique challenges that require extraordinary patience and understanding. Yet over time, we often become dangerously familiar with each other's efforts. That morning text that once made your day becomes expected. The way your partner adapts to your changing needs throughout your cycle seems ordinary rather than remarkable. The boundaries you established early on get casually violated because "what's the big deal just this once?"This familiarity creates a slippery slope. Communication deteriorates first—partners stop checking in consistently or assume silence means everything's fine. Boundaries erode when comfort replaces mindfulness. Perhaps most damaging is how disrespectful communication gradually becomes normalized: "This is just how we talk to each other when we're upset." Each small instance of taking your partner for granted accumulates into significant resentment.For relationships affected by PMDD, this pattern is particularly destructive. The cyclical nature of symptoms means unresolved issues compound month after month until even the most committed partnerships break under the strain. Worse still, when children witness these dynamics, they internalize them as normal relationship models for their future.Breaking this cycle requires intention. Regular emotional check-ins, consistent appreciation for your partner's specific qualities, respecting established boundaries, and developing tools for healthy conflict resolution all help maintain the connection that brought you together initially. Remember—being in a PMDD relationship requires work, but the deep love and care that individuals with PMDD typically bring makes that effort worthwhile.Don't wait until your partner walks away to recognize their value. What will you appreciate about them today?

On this week's solo episode of the Friends in Beauty Podcast, I'm keeping it real with you. This is my last episode before I take a much-needed pause, and I want to share why.I'm opening up about what burnout really feels like as a beauty pro and entrepreneur, and why it's so important for us to prioritize our health for longevity in this industry. From setting and honoring boundaries with clients, to living in Washington, DC during such a tense political climate, to processing the weight of world news in Gaza, Sudan, and Libya — it's been a lot.This episode is my reminder to you (and to myself): we don't have to glorify pushing through exhaustion. Rest is revolutionary. Boundaries are protection. And longevity in beauty comes when we choose peace over pressure.✨ Tune in, reflect with me, and know that this pause is not the end — it's the reset Friends in Beauty needs to grow even bigger and better.Oh yea! And I'm doing my makeup so you get to see some of my favorite beauty products and try some new ones with me!If you've ever felt burnt out, overwhelmed, or unsure how to balance your artistry with your well-being, this episode is for you.

In this episode, I share real coaching moments where we tackle some of the toughest relationship questions.One member is struggling with her husband's ongoing friendship with his ex, even after an affair. She questions whether this connection is manipulation or emotional abuse.Another member shares her frustration with her husband's porn use, and how it makes her feel inadequate.The truth is, both situations require deep introspection and boundaries.It's not about changing your partner—it's about being clear on your own needs and feelings.Desire, trust, and emotional boundaries need attention, and you're allowed to set them in your relationship.These issues don't just affect the marriage, they affect your own self-worth and well-being.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.

Hey mama, welcome back to the Revival Mom Podcast! If your heart longs for revival in your home, for peace in your daily rhythms, and for clarity on how to say yes to what God is really calling you to—this episode is for you. Today I'm sitting down with my guest, Aliese, a Christian mompreneur, speaker, and encourager who helps faith-filled moms trade chaos for clarity. Together we're diving into one of the biggest struggles so many of us face as women of God: how to set priorities, create rhythms, and learn to say no with confidence—without guilt. We talk about: Why saying no is a spiritual skill that brings freedom How to identify and release the good things that aren't God things for this season Simple first steps to creating peaceful, purposeful rhythms for your family and business The power of aligning your time and energy with what God has actually called you to How rhythms can help you be fully present with your kids and still show up in your mission As Christian moms, we know revival starts in our hearts and flows into our homes. When we filter our schedules and responsibilities through God's priorities, we walk in greater peace, steward our families well, and model to our children what it looks like to live fully surrendered to Christ. If you've been feeling overwhelmed, stretched too thin, or guilty for wanting more order and rest, this conversation will encourage you to step into God's freedom. Saying no may feel uncomfortable at first—but it is one of the most life-giving, revival-sparking things you can do for your home. So grab your coffee, open your heart, and let's talk about trading chaos for God's peace and presence.

Is your spouse married to their job, or are you? In today's episode, we're talking about what happens when work takes priority over marriage and how couples can recognize the signs before it causes lasting damage. Let's talk about why this is such a common struggle, what Scripture says about balancing work and marriage, and how to reconnect when work has created distance. If you're feeling like your relationship is playing second to a career, this one's for you. Let's dive in.   Episode Highlights: God gave us ambition and talents for a reason. Work balance in marriage is a common struggle. We tried to look at struggles as growth opportunities instead of failures Society adds to the pressure we feel to pursue success first. If conversations become logistical or date nights become extinct you may be prioritizing work over your marriage. There's a biblical order, that when we get that order right, everything else finds its proper place. Prayer reminds us who our work is truly for. Quotes from Today's Episode: The issue is when our ambition becomes our identity. When we believe our value comes from our next promotion. We are sacrificing our family for our ego. Our culture has us believe rest is laziness. Providing isn't just about money. Your spouse needs your presence, your attention, and your emotional availability. Scripture makes it clear that work is good. We are created in the image of a working God. Bu work has its place in the greater order, and that place isn't first.. Rest and relationship are sacred. Boundaries aren't restrictions. They are protections. Create rituals that prioritize connections. Our ultimate provision isn't in our performance, it's in God's faithfulness. See what happens when you're physically forced to be present with one another.   Couples' Conversation Guide: What one daily ritual can you begin this week to show your spouse and your marriage the energy it deserves. (coffee in the morning, lunch time phone call, prayer in the evening, etc.) When you hear the word “boundaries” do you automatically feel restricted? How can we implement some boundaries that feel like protection instead?  Does our calendar reflect our heart for keeping our marriage first? If not, where can you begin to say “no” so that you can say “yes” to your marriage? What are some physical distractions we can remove during our time together?    Mentioned in this Episode: Find Awesome Marriage on Instagram!
