It helps protect the lender against certain title-related risks such as: ✔️ Fraud or forgery ✔️ Title defects ✔️ Registration errors ✔️ Unknown liens or ownership issues This policy protects the lender's mortgage, not the homeowner. Owner Policy An owner title insurance policy protects the property owner. It can help cover losses related to certain title issues affecting ownership, such as: ✔️ Title fraud ✔️ Boundary or survey issues (depending on coverage) ✔️ Title defects ✔️ Certain encroachments or undiscovered title problems The key difference: Lender Policy = protects the lender's mortgage interest Owner Policy = protects the homeowner's ownership interest Understanding title insurance is an important concept in real estate and mortgage education. #AlbertaRealEstateSchool #PassYourRECAExam #HowToBecomeARealtorInAlberta #HowToBecomeAMortgageBrokerInAlberta #RealEstateEducation

Three veterans of critical infrastructure security trace how the field went from arguing that infrastructure was even a target to treating digital risk as an engineering hazard. Ginger Wright, Sarah Freeman, and Marc Sachs define cyber-informed engineering in plain terms, share real examples of consequences engineered out of a system, explain why adversaries already read your engineering documentation, and make the case that engineers don't need to become hackers to belong in this conversation. They close with why engineers should come to Level Zero.Guests: Sarah Freeman (MITRE); Marc Sachs (Center for Internet Security) Host / moderator: Ginger Wright (Idaho National Laboratory)Chapters: 00:00 Welcome and panel introductions 02:52 Why engineering is up first at Level Zero 04:24 From 'not a target' to target du jour 08:03 Y2K to WannaCry: when the OT/IT boundary became fiction 12:28 Engineering out the consequence (NIST 800-82 Rev. 3) 14:31 Why engineers belong at the table 19:01 Digital risk and defining CIE / CCE 22:13 Real examples of designed-out consequences 28:34 Where CIE runs into regulation 32:40 Engineer pushback and 'fighting the scenario' 37:01 Digital risk is just another hazard 40:01 The five whys, and why come to Level ZeroRecorded at the CS²AI Online Symposium, "Level Zero: Visions & Reflections."Join us at Level Zero 2027, April 23–30 at Georgia Tech in Atlanta: pre-conference training, the Conflag Zero™ tabletop exercise, and three days of practitioner-led sessions built so you can put what you learn to work the Monday you get back.Questions: info@levelzeroconference.com · Sponsorship: sponsor@levelzeroconference.com Produced by CS²AI (Control System Cyber Security Association International).

You can know every script. You can know that no is a full sentence. And you can still say yes — because some quieter part of you doesn't believe you're allowed to say no. This week Jo goes underneath the boundaries series to look at the self-esteem doing the real work behind every hard conversation. THE SIGNAL → Self-esteem = your satisfaction, confidence and self-respect. Not fixed — trainable, like any other skill. → Four scenarios where it shows up: family, patients, colleagues, yourself. → A script is only half the equation. Words + self-esteem, not words instead of self-esteem. → Boundaries have two parts: the request, and the consequence. → The neuroscience: social disapproval activates the same pathway as physical pain (Eisenberger, UCLA). That's why willpower alone doesn't hold a boundary — but the circuitry is trainable. → Counterintuitive truth: weak boundaries look like closeness. Healthy ones are what actually build trust. THE RESET → Family: practise one small no this week, no justification, no rush to fill the silence. → Patients: "I want to give this the time it deserves — let's book you back in." Protecting quality of care, not abandoning it. → Colleagues: before saying yes, try "let me check and come back to you." → Yourself: end each day this week noticing where you spoke to yourself in a tone you'd never use with a colleague. Pick one scenario. Practise one boundary. Write down what you notice afterwards — that's your evidence file.

What if the reason you can't settle at night isn't that you need to think more — but that your mind hasn't realized the day is over?

Have you ever set a healthy boundary, said no to the extra request, protected your time, or closed your laptop, and then spent the next few hours feeling guilty anyway?In this episode of Work it, Live it, Own it!, SaCola Lehr sits down with Dr. Kim Foster, a former family physician, TEDx speaker, identity-based transformation expert, and author of Redesigning You: Change Your Inner Story, Transform Your Health.Dr. Foster shares why a boundary can be healthy and still feel emotionally difficult. The issue is not always that you need a better script, more willpower, or another routine. Sometimes the choice is colliding with an old identity story, especially the belief that you must always be the dependable one.From her own transition out of a 20-year career in family medicine to the health crisis that forced her to reconsider what she was prioritizing, Dr. Foster offers a compassionate, practical way to approach lasting change. You will hear why your past can be a foundation rather than a cage, how identity shapes behavior, and how a bridge identity can help you take one believable next step toward work-life harmony.If you have ever wondered why saying no can feel so hard, this conversation will give you language for the guilt, and a way to move forward without abandoning yourself.Top Takeaways• Guilt after setting a boundary does not automatically mean that the boundary was wrong.• Habits can support change, but behavior often returns to the identity you believe at your core.• Being “the dependable one” can be a meaningful strength, but it becomes restrictive when it leaves no room for your own needs.• You do not have to reject your past to begin a new chapter. Let it be a foundation, not a cage.• A bridge identity gives you a believable next step: “I am someone who is learning how to prioritize myself.”• Small promises kept to yourself become proof that you can create a new inner story.• When guilt appears, pause and ask: Who am I being in this moment? What identity is calling the shots here?“Your behavior is going to start to gravitate back to who you believe you are.”— Dr. Kim FosterIf this episode gave you language for something you have been carrying, tap follow, leave a review, and share it with the woman in your life who is known as “the dependable one.” She may not need permission to care less. She may need permission to include herself in the care.Click here to learn more about Kim Foster, M.D. Connect with Dr. Kim Foster• Website: https://drkimfoster.com/• Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drkimfoster/• YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@KimFosterMD• Book: Redesigning You: Change Your Inner Story, Transform Your HealthEpisode Page and TranscriptRead the complete episode reflection and transcript: https://sacolalehr.com/dr-kim-foster-identity-boundary-guilt/Stay Connected with Work it, Live it, Own it!Ready to join the WLO community for exclusive updates and resources? https://workitliveitownit.com/Follow SaCola on Instagram: https://instagram.com/workitliveitownitSubscribe to Work it, Live it, Own it! on YouTube: https://bit.ly/2lxB1TSBrowse more podcast episodes: https://sacolalehr.com/podcast/Email for business inquiries: info@workitliveitownit.comResources Mentioned:• Harmony Hustle for Women: Master the Art of Thriving in Life and Career• PRONE to Power FrameworkConnect:• Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/workitliveitownit/• Website: https://SaColaLehr.com/Email for business inquiries: info@workitliveitownit.com

Wigram was one of the closest races at the last election with veteran Labour MP Megan Woods holding on by less than 1200 votes. But it's a different seat now, picking up large swathes of the largely rural and safe blue neighbouring seat of Selwyn in last year's boundary changes. Timothy Brown took a trip from the centre of the Garden City to the farms now on Wigram's southern border as part of our series on the electorates to watch.

Are You Helping Your Kids Too Much?Watching your child struggle can make every parenting instinct scream, “Help them!”But sometimes the most useful thing a parent can do is wait.In this episode of Parents of the Year, Andrew and Dr. Caroline talk candidly about watching their daughters become increasingly independent and how surprisingly difficult it can be to resist jumping in and fixing things.From overflowing sinks and flat tires to bank cards, student loans, schoolwork and household chores, they share what happens when parents give kids room to solve problems themselves.Dr. Caroline explains why independence can start much earlier than the teenage years. A toddler reaching for a toy, a child learning to make their bed or a teen dealing with a problem at school can all practise figuring out what to do before an adult steps in.You'll also hear why independence still needs boundaries, how scaffolding can make responsibilities easier without doing them for your child, and why constant nagging can work against the autonomy parents are trying to build.If you've ever caught yourself fixing something your child could probably handle, this conversation may make you reconsider when to help, when to guide and when to simply get out of the way.Homework for ParentsThese exercises closely reflect what Andrew and Dr. Caroline discuss throughout the episode, particularly their emphasis on stepping back, boundaries, scaffolding and reducing friction.The Three Things RuleBefore solving a manageable problem for your child, ask: “What are three things you've tried first?”Don't immediately suggest the three things. Give your child time to generate possible solutions.Your homework: Try this once this week with a problem you would normally solve for them.The 10 Second PauseNotice what happens inside you when your child struggles.Before stepping in, wait ten seconds.Ask yourself: Are they unsafe, or am I uncomfortable watching them struggle?If they're safe, give them another moment.Hand Over the ToolsLook for one task you normally complete for your child that they could attempt themselves. Instead of doing it, provide what they need. The episode gives a great real-life version of this: Andrew's daughter needed help, so he dropped off the tools and left her to handle the job.Reduce Friction Without Removing ResponsibilityChoose one responsibility your child regularly struggles to start. Make starting easier without completing the job.Dr. Caroline describes having the dog waste bags ready when Willow already had her jacket and shoes on. The responsibility remained Willow's, but one barrier to getting started disappeared.Set the Boundary, Then Stop NaggingPick one recurring responsibility.State:What needs to happen.What choice your child has.What happens if it isn't completed.Then resist repeated reminders.Andrew and Dr. Caroline describe using this approach with dishwasher duties, where Willow has choice within a clear household boundary.Send us Fan MailEnjoying the show?

In this eye-opening episode of The Unapologetic Man Podcast host Mark Sing breaks down the five tests (or frame check) women love to throw at guys to test whether they have a strong frame, or are going to be pushed around easily by her. These tests are intentionally designed to push your buttons and get an emotional reaction from you, and that's why most guys fail them, instantly killing her attraction for them. In today's episode Mark walks you through the 5 main frame checks women are going to hit you with, and provides detailed instructions on how to breeze through every single one of them like an absolute champion. You do NOT want to miss this one! Key Takeaways: How to spot a compliance test and turn doing her a favor into her doing one for you Why staying completely unaffected by a reactivity test wins you more than trying to fix it How to flip a frame check, an insult or a jab, back on her instead of explaining yourself How to correct her when she crosses a boundary without losing your cool or her attraction Key Timestamps: [00:00:00] – Episode Intro [00:01:03] – Frame Control Masterclass Announcement [00:06:11] – Compliance tests [00:11:40] – Reactivity tests [00:16:39] – Frame checks [00:19:33] – Boundary tests [00:23:18] – Qualification flipping [00:28:32] – Episode Outro  Get your spot in the Frame Control Masterclass here: https://coachmarksing.com/frame-control-masterclass/  About The Unapologetic Man Podcast The Unapologetic Man Podcast is your resource for mastering dating, attraction, and relationships from a confident, masculine perspective.

Unclench your jaw. Drop your shoulders out of your damn ears. Stop squeezing your butt cheeks together like you're holding in a secret.If you are sick of feeling exhausted, bitter, burnt out, and constantly pissed off at everyone around you—welcome home. In this episode of Gettin' in the Grove, we are exposing the ugly, raw truth about resentment: Resentmentisn't just "being mad"—it is a boundary that you were too afraid to speak.Whether you are swallowing a hard "NO" and serving up a fake, agreeable "YES" to keep the peace, or bottling up yourrage until you explode over something tiny, you are torching your own spirit from the inside out. We dive deep into somatic architecture—explaining exactly where unexpressed anger lives in your body (your jaw, your throat, your lower back, and your gut) and how staying quiet is physically trashing your health.We're breaking down the anatomy of a muzzle for both men and women, ditching "fake peace," and giving you a 3-step actionable blueprint to start setting clean, unapologetic boundaries in real-time.In this episode, we talk about:Why resentment is self-betrayal in disguiseHow unexpressed anger mutates into physical symptoms (chronic tension, jaw-grinding, gut issues)the difference between external compliance and internal peaceHow men and women hoard emotional debt differently3 steps to catch your physical "clench" and speak your truth without exploding

More often, it reflects the standards you have quietly accepted across your business, from the clients you continue working with to the boundaries you keep overlooking and the decisions you know need to change.In this episode, we explore the connection between personal standards and business results, and why increasing your revenue often requires more than another sales strategy. The things you tolerate shape how you lead, how you sell, what clients expect from you, and ultimately what your business is able to sustain. When your standards are inconsistent, your results often become inconsistent too.This conversation is for women business owners who know they are capable of creating more but can feel there are areas of their business where they are settling for less than what they actually want. We look at how stronger boundaries, cleaner decisions and higher standards can change the way your business operates and create the conditions for more aligned, sustainable revenue growth.Tune in to hear:The connection between personal standards and business results.The hidden areas where low standards can quietly cost you money.Why revenue growth often begins with stronger boundaries and better decisions.How what you tolerate in your business can shape what you ultimately receive from it.Find the Complete Show Notes Here → ⁠https://sigmawmn.com/podcast⁠In This Episode, You'll Learn:Why revenue problems are not always solved by changing your sales strategy.How the standards you accept influence your clients, boundaries and business results.Where tolerating misalignment can quietly reduce profitability.Why better boundaries can support stronger business growth and more aligned client relationships.How raising your standards can influence the way you lead, make decisions and create revenue.Themes & Time Stamps:0:00 – Intro: standards and what you tolerate in business1:33 – To Be Magnetic and the energetics of boundaries3:24 – Boundary tests and letting your standards slip7:31 – Examples of standards: reliability, communication, honouring contracts8:13 – Vetting clients before you even take the call9:17 – How your branding vets the right people10:50 – Story: the call I should have canceled13:05 – Letting your existing structures actually support you14:34 – Enforcing contracts with contractors and clients17:23 – Closing thought: getting comfortable with being "meaner"

(DJOW) Follow us on Instagram @pebcakpodcast   Please share this podcast with someone you know!  It helps us grow the podcast and we really appreciate it!   Simple 6 signup link https://simple6.co/r/CFUR98   Zero Data Retention is a contract term, not a law of physics - and the first CISO who finds that out the hard way is going to get fired for it. https://openai.com/index/navier-stokes-solution/ https://www.axios.com/2026/09/08/openai-math-solution-navier-stokes-credit https://www.rubrik.com/company/newsroom/press-releases/26/rubrik-unveils-code-guardian https://www.tenable.com/blog/microsofts-september-2026-patch-tuesday-addresses-964-cves-cve-2026-81963-cve-2026-85880 Chamath predicted on All In that some poor CISO or CIO gets fired in the next few months for trusting a frontier lab's ZDR agreement, and Chris thinks that prediction ages well. ZDR promises no storage, no logging, no training - but it's best effort, enforced by contract language instead of a technical security boundary, and OpenAI just admitted that while unlikely, it cannot rule out that de-identified data from product usage helped improve the models behind its Navier-Stokes result. Worse, the legal bar is lower than email: a warrant gets your inbox, a subpoena gets your prompts, and you may never know. Ben's CISO take: the real problem isn't the frontier model you let in the front door - it's the vetted software that quietly became AI-enhanced after you accepted the risk. Excel with Copilot bolted on is Clippy on steroids. Can you disable it, can you cancel, can you get a refund, and what's your recourse when the vendor can't tell you where your data went? The flip side is real upside: Rubrik's new Code Guardian points a Claude Mythos 5 harness at an air-gapped copy of your repo and chains small, unremarkable findings into validated attack paths - three CVSS 3.0s become a 9.8. That same AI-assisted discovery is why Microsoft shipped 974 CVEs in a single September Patch Tuesday, and why "patch for patch's sake" is officially dead. Is the cure worse than the disease when the fix breaks your ERP?   An Anthropic researcher quit after six weeks at Anthropic and three years in pretraining, said AI could kill us all by 2030, and Chris is here to say the emperor has no evidence. https://www.cnbc.com/2026/09/09/anthropic-researcher-quits-ai-safety.html https://www.forbes.com/sites/siladityaray/2026/09/09/anthropic-alignment-lead-warns-ai-could-kill-all-humans-as-researcher-quits/ Jacob Coxon's resignation thread hit 70 million views, Anthropic's own Alignment Science Lead Evan Hubinger publicly agreed with the >10% extinction estimate, and Congress started drafting. Chris isn't buying it: a whistleblower produces evidence a company tried to bury, and Coxon produced conjecture. Every doomer prediction so far has missed - no mass AI job losses, no water crisis, no energy apocalypse - and the scariest thing frontier agents have actually done is break into another lab to cheat on a test, which is high school antics, not an extinction event. Ben wants the smoking gun: what spooked you, what's the roadmap from lost agent control to dead planet? Both hosts land on human-in-the-loop as the real backstop: Robinhood makes Chris confirm an agentic trade three times, and poisoning a water plant still runs into a dozen downstream checks and someone eventually testing the water. Meanwhile the robots at the Chinese Robot Olympics can't stop running or climb stairs. The more likely motive is regulatory capture - write the RFP, win the deal, then pull the ladder up on open-weight competitors while China ignores the pause entirely, exactly like it ignored Paris while firing up a coal plant a week. Same playbook as Uber lobbying for a human in every driver's seat. AI is a nail gun, not an emerging god.   Dad Joke of the Week (DJOW)   Find the hosts on LinkedIn: Chris - https://www.linkedin.com/in/chlouie/ Ben - https://www.linkedin.com/in/benjamincorll/

What happens when you set a boundary, hold it, communicate it clearly… and absolutely nothing changes? In this episode, I'm talking about why boundaries can feel so confusing when you're parenting teens, college kids, and adult children. At this stage of motherhood, we often judge whether a boundary “worked” by looking at what our kid does next. Did they change the behavior? Take it seriously? Learn the lesson? I'll help you rethink what a boundary is actually meant to do, so you can stop overthinking every decision and putting pressure on yourself to find the perfect consequence or the perfect words. You'll learn how to get clearer about what you are willing to support, pay for, participate in, or be around, while letting go of the part you cannot control. That shift can help you feel more grounded, confident, and peaceful even when your big kid is still figuring things out.

Setting a boundary is not the end of the conversation.Once you've stopped yourself from reacting, created space and said “no” — what do you actually do next?In this episode, I'm talking about what clear-headed action looks like after the boundary: how you support yourself first, return to the conversation without getting hijacked, understand what's really going on and respond differently.I share the breath sequence I use to interrupt automatic patterns and to regulate anxiety quickly before difficult conversations and high-conflict situations.We also look at how to reconnect with someone after confrontation without agreeing with or excusing their behaviour, why asking “What specifically is the problem?” can completely change the conversation, and the leadership trap of continually fixing other people's problems.Because every time somebody brings you a problem and you solve it for them, you're training them to bring their problems to you.If you've ever:Walked into a difficult conversation already anxious about how someone might behaveAutomatically appeased, fixed or taken responsibility when someone came at you with urgencyFelt bombarded by problems your team expects you to solveTaken over because “it's quicker if I do it myself”In this episode, we cover:The empathise → explore → activate sequence How I use the 4-7-8 breath to regulate anxiety quicklyHow to reconnect after conflict without validating unacceptable behaviourWhy asking “What specifically is the problem?” creates clarityWhy resistance and discomfort don't necessarily mean you're doing something wrongA boundary interrupts the pattern. What you do afterwards determines whether you actually change it.You can find out more about working with me at www.kayaramjee.com

Jon Harvey has worked on programmes like “The Thick of It” and “Have I Got New For You” but is best known for performing as the “intergalactic space warrior” who has taken on the likes of Theresa May, Boris Johnson, Andy Burnham and most recently Nigel Farage in by-elections. Harvey also discusses his lifelong love of cricket and TMS including how he modelled his bowling action on Phil Tufnell.

In this segment, host Taranjeet Kaur Ghuman led an open-line discussion following a viral social media video involving a landlord allegedly interfering with tenants inside their home. The conversation explored where the legal boundary lies for landlords, whether they can restrict cooking or other aspects of a tenant's daily life, and tenants' rights to privacy, with listeners sharing their views on the issue.

Send us Fan MailIn this week's episode 369 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I'm talking about why workplace boundaries often collapse—not because we don't know what to say, but because of what happens inside us after we say it. Knowing how to set a boundary and being able to stay with it through discomfort are two completely different skills.I explore the sequence that can happen when we set a boundary: external pressure, an internal reaction such as guilt, fear, or self-doubt, and finally the urge to back down in order to make the discomfort go away. I also share a personal experience from my work life that helped me understand how easily I could abandon what I knew about my own capacity when someone else needed something from me.Some of the talking points I go over in this episode include:Why another person's disappointment or pushback can feel like relational dangerHow boundary collapse can provide immediate relief while weakening self-trust over timeThe difference between responding to new information and changing your decision simply to make discomfort stopA practical process of pausing, orienting yourself to the present, and naming what is trueHow to identify what is yours, what isn't yours, what support you need, and the next smallest safe actionThis episode is a reminder that you don't have to become comfortable with someone else's disappointment before you can hold a boundary. The goal isn't to guarantee that another person will like your boundary—it's to remain present long enough to make a conscious decision instead of letting anxiety make the decision for you.Because a boundary isn't only the words you say to another person. It also includes what you do inside yourself after you say it. You don't break a boundary because you're weak; sometimes it simply doesn't yet feel safe inside you to hold it. And that safety can be built.Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of practical tips on living a more whole life and to hear even more about the points outlined above.Thank you for listening!

Send us Fan MailIf you've ever said yes while your whole body begged for no, this quick Spiritual Spotlight is your permission slip to come back to yourself. We're naming a truth that can feel hard to believe when you're a helper: your boundary is not a betrayal. A limit doesn't mean your heart is closed. It means your energy, time, and capacity matter, too.We talk about why boundaries feel so uncomfortable for healers, empaths, caregivers, nurses, moms, intuitive spaceholders, and lifelong people pleasers. When you've been taught that love equals availability, you can start to confuse being loving with being endlessly accessible. But those aren't the same thing. You can care deeply and still say no. You can be spiritual without carrying everyone else's emotional backpack. A boundary is simple, honest clarity: what you can offer, what you cannot carry, and where you end and someone else begins.We also get real about what happens when you change the pattern. Not everyone will celebrate your new limits, especially people who benefited from you having none. Their discomfort doesn't automatically mean you're doing something wrong. Sometimes it means healing is finally happening. We close with grounded self-reflection questions to help you spot where you're overextending, what you fear will happen if you honor your limit, and whether “selfish” is actually just “unfamiliar.”If this landed, subscribe, share it with a fellow overgiver, and leave a review so more people can find support in setting healthy boundaries.

Join the DadAwesome PRAYER TEAM:    Recieve updates on the 20-minute DadAwesome prayer Zoom Calls on Mondays/Fridays: Text "pray" to (651) 370-8618   EPISODE SUMMARY: Most men have never pictured David's mighty men as real flesh and blood warriors who bled, prayed, and screamed to God for covering before they ever swung a sword. In this episode, novelist and Army veteran Cliff Graham shares what twenty years inside the world of the Old Testament taught him about sacrifice, mentorship, and becoming the kind of father whose absence is felt when he's gone. You'll also hear why your kids see the things you thought you did in the dark, and why aimlessness in a dad leaves an entire family unmoored. TAKEAWAYS: Your kids are watching at all times. The thing you think you did in the dark and nobody noticed is the thing they saw. The toughest men in scripture didn't charge in confident in their own abilities. They cried out for God's covering first, and so should you. Sacrificial choices still count when your heart isn't in them.

In this episode, Alissa tackles a question she hears constantly. "How do you know if you're actually allowed to be upset, or if you're just being too sensitive?" If you've ever replayed a conversation for days, questioned your own reaction, or wondered if you made something out of nothing, this one's for you. Alissa traces that self-doubt back to where it actually started, and what it takes to fully trust yourself even when someone else insists you're overreacting.In this episode, you'll learn:Why the question "am I overreacting or do I have a right to be upset" usually points to a deeper lack of self-trustWhy the people who dismissed your reactions were often responding from their own depletionWhat writing out your personal values and boundaries does for you in the middle of a triggering momentHow to recognize when a reaction is bigger than the situation because it's hitting an old woundWhy "cleaning up your side of the street" comes before deciding whether a boundary conversation is necessarySign up for Unshakable Interactions during presale for just $17!: https://www.sensitiveandsoulful.com/offers/DfoKpzEo/checkout?coupon_code=UIPRESALEUncover your sneaky internal belief that's stopping you from being your most confident self TAKE The FREE Shadow Archetype Quiz NOWLearn my 6-step process for managing & neutralizing your triggers as an HSP in our FREE UN-Botherable Workshop!Join the Not Too Sensitive Club

Akasha Mudra -- Caught a Lite Sneeze/On the Boundary (9 September 2017 - Ghent, BEL)

Setting boundaries and protecting your peace has become a popular topic in personal development.  Alecia and Jonathan break down the real difference between a healthy boundary and boundary language that's actually just avoidance in disguise, and why getting that distinction wrong is costing you the relationships and results you actually want.  Join Podcast Club: Get behind the scenes access to every episode before anyone else hears it. Meet other listeners of the show and connect live with guests, Alecia's cohosts, and Alecia herself.  Episodes are recorded in front of a live virtual studio audience, then a private, unrecorded conversation opens up where you can share your thoughts, ask questions, go deeper on the topic, and even shape what gets covered next.  Get access at consciousedge.com/club.  Get Full Show Notes: www.consciousedge.com/ep117 Let's Connect on Instagram: @aleciastg In this episode, Alecia St. Germain and her longtime co-host Jonathan Dugger dig into a phrase that's everywhere right now: "I'm setting a boundary and protecting my peace." They unpack what actually separates a boundary that's grounded in your values from language that's just avoidance wearing a boundary's clothes. Alecia gets honest about her own break from recording this podcast and whether that was a boundary or something else entirely. Jonathan brings the clinical lens, breaking down avoidance as a short-term, immediate reaction versus boundaries as long-term and value-driven. Together they get into ghosting, people-pleasing, the body's reaction the first time you set a real boundary, and a simple three-step process for knowing which one you're actually doing.

Jonathan Agnew is joined by award winning actor and presenter Colson Smith.He was part of the iconic soap opera Coronation Street for almost 15 years playing the role of Weatherfield Police constable Craig Tinker before his dramatic demise last year.He's also appeared on reality shows like “The Games” and “Celebrity Big brother” and has become a popular radio presenter in Yorkshire.Colson is a self-confessed cricket badger who's a director of cricket at Castleford CC and is involved in a documentary about starting a women's and girls' section called “Colson's cricket club”.

ABOUT THE EPISODE:You‘ve probably watched your child make a decision so obviously terrible you could not understand how it made sense to them. Darren Hobbs can tell you exactly how it looked, because he made that decision. He had done treatment. He had a sponsor, a home group, a year chip. Then he took some cash he made, drove back to his old dealer, and fully believed he could be the sober cocaine dealer in a small college town.His story starts at 14, with a Vicodin prescription after surgery and the discovery that with substances in him, everything was better, easier and more fun. It runs through years of drinking and cocaine, wrecked cars, stolen money, and parents who kept trying to love him out of it. It ends, or maybe begins, on the floor of a Nashville bar with undercover detectives on top of him, staring at 20 years in prison.What changed him was not the arrest. It was a phone call from his mother, and one sentence she said that I know broke her heart - and drove his recovery.Darren is a Certified Intervention Professional, founder of The Firm Addiction Consulting in Nashville, and a cast member on A&E's Intervention. He has taken hundreds of families through interventions, and he is blunt about what parents do that keeps their kids stuck. He also told me the most extraordinary story of divine timing I have heard on this show. If you watch on YouTube, you will see the goosebumps on both of us.This is the first of four recovery stories this month, and I started here because Darren says out loud the things our kids cannot.If you are watching your child choose the things that will hurt them and cannot make sense of it, this one is for you.YOU'LL LEARNWhat Darren told himself the day he decided he could sell cocaine and stay soberThe one sentence his mother said on the phone that did what years of crime, jail and chaos never didWhy he says parents are the ones who installed the buttons their kids know how to pushThe two things he sees in almost every family who calls him at crisis pointThe tool he calls an industry guarded secret for families who cannot get in a room togetherEPISODE RESOURCES:The Firm Intervention and Addiction Consulting, Nashville, TNDarren on InstagramDie Sober Podcast, hosted by Darren Hobbs and Zach Livingston: https://www.thefirmaddictionconsulting.com/podcastThe Stream, free two-week trial: https://hopestreamcommunity.org/tryWorried Sick free ebook: https://hopestreamcommunity.org/worriedThis podcast is part of a nonprofit called Hopestream CommunityLearn about The Stream, our private online community for momsFind us on Instagram hereWatch the podcast on YouTube hereDownload a free e-book, Worried Sick: A Compassionate Guide For Parents When Your Teen or Young Adult Child Misuses Drugs and AlcoholHopestream Community is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and an Amazon Associate.

If setting a boundary feels like you're risking the whole relationship, your unhealed father wound might be why. When the person who was supposed to protect you didn't, you can grow up without the sense that you're even allowed to say no. In this episode, I'm walking through how the father wound shapes your boundaries, the different father archetypes and the specific boundary struggles each one creates, and why so many of us never learned we were allowed to protect ourselves in the first place. Whether your father was absent, critical, emotionally distant, abusive, unreliable, narcissistic, passive, or played favorites, those wounds can make certain boundaries especially difficult. It often comes back to the same things: learning to protect yourself, honoring your needs, and being able to disappoint other people without abandoning yourself. The best part of healing your father wound is that you don't have to keep going along to get along anymore. Not sure if your father wound is affecting your boundaries? Get the journal prompts from this episode to uncover how your father wound may still be shaping your boundaries, relationships, and ability to say no.  terricole.com/860 KEY TAKEAWAYS If your father didn't protect you, you may have learned you weren't worth protecting. That belief shapes your boundaries in adulthood. Different father archetypes create different boundary struggles: absent fathers make saying no feel like abandonment, critical fathers make you fear getting it wrong, narcissistic fathers teach you that your needs don't matter. Pleasing, being compliant, achieving to belong — these are the opposite of having healthy boundaries. They kept you safe as a child, but they're not serving you now. You'll never build the life you want if it's built on self-abandonment. You don't need your father's permission or participation to heal your father wound. This work is for you. I wrote an entire book to walk you through this work. Pre-order Father Wound and get access to a free 3-hour virtual retreat with me. fatherwoundbook.com

Tenderoni Hotline #42: What happens when you finally set a boundary you've been terrified to say out loud, only to have someone ignore it completely? And how do you know when you're stuck in a victim mindset that's keeping you from creating the life and relationships you want?In this episode, I answer two listener questions about boundaries, accountability, and nervous system healing.First, we explore what it really means when someone walks through a boundary you've clearly communicated. If boundaries aren't meant to control other people's behavior, then what are they actually for? And what do you do next when someone shows you they aren't willing to respect your limits?Then we dive into victim mindset as a nervous system strategy. We'll talk about why this pattern develops, how it can keep us feeling powerless, and practical ways to build more agency, responsibility, and self-trust without shame or self-blame.Got a question for the Tenderoni Hotline?

Why doesn't she just leave?  It's a question survivors of domestic abuse hear again and again. But it places the focus in entirely the wrong place.  Laura interviews Grace Stuart, survivor and host of Why She Stayed podcast, to examine how coercive control can develop gradually - and why it can be so difficult to recognise when you're living inside it.  Grace was just 20 when she met her former partner, who was 14 years older. What initially felt intense and intoxicating became a complex spider's web of grooming, manipulation and control.  Grace shares how apparent honesty and vulnerability built trust, while her boundaries were crossed incrementally and each violation explained away. Laura unpacks the pattern: the love bombing, age and power imbalance, gaslighting, isolation, sexual coercion and the gradual erosion of Grace's trust in her own instincts.  They also explore how addiction became an explanation for behaviour that Grace did not yet have the language to identify as domestic abuse.  Laura and Grace discuss:  Grooming, love bombing and accelerated intimacy   Age and power imbalances   Boundary testing and incremental erosion   Gaslighting and self-doubt   Isolation and dependency   Sexual coercion and violence   Addiction versus abusive behaviour   Why recognising the pattern matters   The question isn't why did she stay? It's what did he do that made staying make sense?  #GraceStewart #WhySheStayed #CoerciveControl #DomesticAbuse #DomesticViolence #SurvivorVoices #SurvivorStories #TraumaBond #EmotionalAbuse #PsychologicalAbuse #SexualCoercion #ReproductiveCoercion #PowerAndControl #AbuseIsAPattern #TrustYourInstincts #CrimeAnalyst #LauraRichards #BehaviouralAnalysis #TrueCrime #TrueCrimePodcast #Podcast     More from Grace Stuart Why She Stayed Podcast on Spotify   Why She Stayed Podcast on  Apple   Instagram      Clip     https://fb.watch/Jgz69E5Y1u/  Thank You to the Crime Analyst Sponsor Who Make the Show Possible.

We are experiencing burnout, so we fantasize about leaving it all behind. What does this mean, and how can we find the middle way to achieve balance, boundaries, and ultimately a happy and content life? It turns out it's normal to fantasize about packing it all in, ditching the corporate grind, and running away to live in a tree with the squirrels. Rather than just daydreaming about abandoning all our adult responsibilities, we explore how to bring that elusive "cabin in the woods" peace directly into our messy, everyday lives. We break down practical ways to reclaim your time and sanity so you don't actually have to leave society to find your peace.Get the full show notes, show references, and more information here: https://www.insideoutmoney.org/178-burnout-boundaries-balance-middle-way/

You know the moment: you say yes again, even though your whole body meant no. You keep the peace, manage the mood, and make it all look effortless and then you end the day feeling a little farther from yourself. We get honest about that pattern and why it creates the exact distance you're trying to avoid: resentment, exhaustion, and a thin version of you that wants less and less.We also clean up the word “boundaries.” We don't treat boundaries like a rule you hand to your partner or a threat designed to control behavior. We define a boundary as protection for your own needs so you can stay in your relationship as a whole person. Then we draw the line between a boundary and a wall: a wall keeps love out, while a boundary lets you stay close without self-abandonment.To make it practical, we walk through five sovereign relationship needs that often sit underneath conflict and people pleasing: love and belonging, freedom, fun, inner power, and safety. You'll hear what each need looks like when it's protected and what happens when it isn't, plus two small steps to start right now without a big “table talk” or a perfect script. If you've been scared that a boundary will push him away, this will help you see why protecting a need is often what makes real intimacy possible.If this puts words to something you've carried for a long time, take the free quiz at needs.drhawks.com, then subscribe, share this with a friend who needs it, and leave a review with the need that hit you hardest.Send us Fan Mail Support the showIf you found your way here, something probably brought you.

Dependable. Reliable. Accommodating. Do these words describe you? Often seen as positive attributes, our need to embody these traits can sometimes lead to overcommitment and burnout. Bridgette and Lindsey talk through how constant overexertion for others can leave us with nothing for ourselves at the end of the day; how resentment can appear in our lives; and how boundaries can allow relationships to thrive.Key TakeawaysSurvival mode looks different for everybody and includes being overproductive or constantly flexible for others' needs over our own.Generational, cultural, and learned behavior contributes to our belief that productivity and dependability overshadow a person's need for relaxation.In professional settings, burnout can feel like a personal failure or shameful, making workplace culture on mental health integral to organizational wellbeing.Resentment due to stress looks different for everyone, including annoyance, flattened emotional response, and simply saying “yes” instead of assessing capacity.Boundary-setting does not limit a relationship or someone's commitment; it allows breathing room for everyone to communicate transparently about needs and space.Resources Mentioned“Employers need to focus on workplace burnout: Here's why” by American Psychological Association, 12 May 2023.Denise Albieri Jodas Salvagioni et al. “Physical, psychological and occupational consequences of job burnout: A systematic review of prospective studies”, PloS One vol. 12(10), 4 Oct. 2017.Connect and Learn More☑️ Bridgette Stumpf | LinkedIn☑️ Lindsey Silverberg | LinkedIn☑️ Volare | LinkedIn | Instagram | Facebook☑️ Subscribe to the TraumaTies newsletter ☑️ TraumaTies Website | Instagram | TikTok | YouTube☑️ Subscribe Apple Podcasts | SpotifyBrought to you by Volare, TraumaTies: Untangling Societal Harm & Healing After Crime is a podcast that creates space and conversations to dissect the structural and systemic knots that keep us from addressing trauma.Rooted in a belief that survivors of crime deserve respect for their dignity in the aftermath of victimization, Volare seeks to empower survivors by informing them of all of the options available and working to transform existing response systems to be more inclusive of the diverse needs that survivors often have after crime.Volare also provides free, holistic, and comprehensive advocacy, therapeutic, and legal services to survivors of all crime types.

What happens when a $50 bet changes the course of your life? For comedian Shang Forbes, it happened when a friend challenged him to perform at an open-mic comedy night. Forbes took the bet, took the stage, won the $50—and discovered a career he never saw coming. This week on “Talk About Las Vegas With Ira,” Ira talks with Shang Forbes, who brings his distinctive, avant-garde and socio-political brand of comedy to the Laugh Factory at Horseshoe Las Vegas, August 24–30. Raised in Brooklyn, New York, Shang graduated from Carnegie Mellon University with his sights originally set on becoming an illustrator. But that fateful open mic sent him in an entirely different direction. Rather than simply trying to be “funny,” Shang set out to develop his own voice, embracing comedy that pushes boundaries while resisting being pigeonholed into one particular style. Shang talks about why he wasn't nervous during his very first stand-up performance, how he learned the craft, and why he performs under the single name “Shang.” He also shares how working as a comedy-club barker gave him an unexpected advantage: more opportunities to get onstage and hone his material. His approach is anything but conventional. Shang describes his natural stand-up style as “pushing the envelope,” while also maintaining a family-friendly set. He explains why he doesn't want to be narrowly defined as simply a “funny” comedian, but instead wants to be “broad funny.” We also discuss his move from New York to Los Angeles, his use of television acting appearances to introduce audiences to his personality and drive them toward his live comedy, meeting legendary comedian George Carlin, and the thought process behind creating his material. And when it comes to politics, Shang doesn't pick a side—he takes aim at both. His comedy gives Democrats and Republicans equal time, while he explains why a simple smile can help make edgy material more accessible. We also get into one of the great challenges of stand-up comedy: hecklers. Why does Shang rarely get heckled? It's a fascinating conversation about comedy, creativity, performance, risk-taking and finding your own voice. (Also Watch Full Podcast Video)

We all know what it feels like when someone violates our boundaries but how do we know when we are the boundary violator? Have you ever... offered unsolicited advice? Gossiped? Said what you would do if you were in someone’s situation? Asked personal questions? Interrupted someone in the middle of a conversation? Touched someone’s hair? Touched someone on the shoulder? Asked a coworker where they lived? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you, like most of us, have been a boundary violator. In today’s throwback episode, Terri and Dom take us through multiple situations (including current events from pop culture and a subscriber question) in which we may be unintentionally invading someone’s personal space and offer us tips on how to navigate those situations.

This week, Elle and Vee chat with returning guests Eden and Ross about the difference between magnetic, fuck-yes energy and the thirsty energy that can quietly kill a connection, whether you're flirting with a third, navigating a play party, or opening your relationship. From worshipping a woman they met dancing in Ibiza and breaking down their favorite threesome positions to energy sex, sexy boundaries, and staying connected when your partner is fucking someone else, they get into what actually makes group play feel good for everyone involved. Plus, they explore why feeling secure and chosen in your relationship can make you more magnetic outside of it, how to boldly ask for what you want without hunting for an outcome, and why their approach to ENM is more sacred than swinging.Getting sexy in Europe: Ibiza, pleasure, and the Europe adventure.

This week we're discussing Courage to Set a Boundary: Most solo parents aren't avoiding boundaries because they don't care. They're avoiding them because the relationships that need the boundaries are also the ones they depend on most. The co-parent they need to cooperate with. The family member their kid loves. The boss they can't afford to lose. And so the line goes undrawn, the cost gets absorbed, and somewhere along the way you stop noticing how much it's taking from you. Robert Beeson, Founder & CEO of Solo Parent, sits down with Elizabeth Cole, single parent, and Marissa Lee, author and single parent, and each of them brings a real situation to the table. Not a theoretical one. Elizabeth's summer this year was derailed by a boundary she didn't set early enough. Marissa learned the hard way what years of staying silent actually costs. Robert found out that shutting everyone out isn't the same thing as having boundaries. What comes out of it is practical, honest, and closer to home than most of us would like to admit. Key Insights from This Episode: Setting boundaries starts with two honest questions: What do I feel, and what do I need? These two questions cut through the noise and give you the language for what a boundary actually needs to look like — not in theory, but in the specific situation in front of you. Fear and wisdom can lead to the same action, but only one of them will hold. A boundary set from panic or exhaustion tends to swing to extremes. One set from an honest assessment of what you're protecting tends to stick. Knowing which one you're operating from changes everything. Courage in boundary-setting doesn't always look like a hard conversation — sometimes it's a quiet internal decision. Especially in volatile co-parenting situations, the most powerful move is often the one nobody else sees. Deciding what you won't engage with, what you won't say, what you won't let go further. That's a boundary too.

In this episode, executive coach Lauren LeMunyan explains why that advice is quietly burning leaders out, and gives you a better model built on core values, not self-sacrifice. You'll learn: ✅ Why boundaries have to be tied to your core values to actually stick ✅ The exact language to use when a boss or client crosses a line after hours ✅ Why "people should just know" is the #1 boundary myth ✅ How to spot the moment you've stepped outside your own scope ✅ Why saying yes to everything is a fast track to resentment and burnout If you've ever hung up a call feeling stretched thin and wondering how you got talked into it again, this episode is your reset.

Quick update episode before I head out to walk the Camino! A few episodes ago, I told you about coming off my medication and sleep aids, the brain zaps, and the nights I barely slept.Here's where things landed: I'm fully off everything, sleeping better than I have in months, and I'm sharing exactly what worked.I'm also telling you about the day I broke my own rule, paid for it until 12:30am, and what I did the next morning — because that part is the whole lesson. If you've ever blown a boundary with alcohol and used it as a reason to give up on the whole thing, this one's for you. In this episode, you'll learn: The full update on coming off sleep aids and medication, including the last little crutch I didn't even realize I was using The two simple changes that made the biggest difference in my sleep What happened the day I broke my own caffeine boundary (and why it felt exactly like drinking) How to get back to a boundary after you break it, without the shame spiral or the "I'll start Monday" trap Why your body knows how to get back to baseline when you stop interfering Quick reminder: this is my personal experience with medication. Always talk to your doctor before starting or stopping anything.Also, I recommend you listen to 'How to Stop Talking Yourself Out of It When It Gets Uncomfortable' before you listen to this one, to get the full context!
