It’s the debate that’s splitting the 947 family right down the middle! On this episode of Afternoons with Zweli, we’re asking the uncomfortable question: If you’re visiting a city where family lives, are you obligated to see them? Zweli and Noluthando dive into the deep end of family dynamics, exploring why some of us feel an overwhelming sense of guilt for staying "incognito," while others argue that avoiding family drama is the ultimate form of self-care. We hear from listeners who have successfully hidden their trips from the relatives, and others who believe that "showing up" is a non-negotiable sign of respect. Are you team "Family First" or team "Keep It Private"? Join the conversation as we unpack the emotional rollercoaster of coming home. Spend weekday afternoons with Zweli. He keeps you in the loop with everything from music and movies to sport and pop culture. Hear what the Word on the Street is, test your skills with the high-pressure 6 Out of 6, and get ready to be entertained.

Send a textIn this week's episode of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I'm sharing the origin story of my Inner Safety Skill Building Method and why most boundary work fails without internal containment.I didn't learn boundaries from books. I learned them as a byproduct of recovery. And what I eventually discovered is this: external boundaries only hold when internal boundaries exist first. If you've ever thought, “I know how to say no, but I still feel awful afterward,” this episode explains why.Some of the talking points I go over in this episode include:• The difference between self-protection and self-containment• Why rumination, catastrophizing, and self-attack violate your internal boundaries• Why knowing what to say is not the same as being able to stand behind it• The five skills for building internal safety• How unshakability is steadiness, not perfectionYou don't need more scripts.You need more internal containment.Wholeness is not perfection.It's the absence of self-abandonment in the presence of emotion.Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of practical tools on building emotional safety from the inside out and to hear even more about the points outlined above.Thank you for listening!

In today's episode of Psych Talk I speak with Destiny Davis, LPC, CRC about chronic illness and medical trauma. Destiny shares about her journey into specializing in chronic illness as a therapist and her personal experiences with chronic illness. Throughout the discussion, Destiny defines for listeners what chronic illness is, as well as what medical trauma is. We discuss some examples of types of medical traumas, as well as common symptoms that may indicate someone has experienced medical trauma. We discuss the intersection of chronic illness and mental health and the bidirectional nature of these things. Destiny shares how both somatic experience and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) can be beneficial for those who have experienced medical trauma or live with a chronic illness.

Stop apologizing for your boundaries and start protecting your peace. Are you feeling drained by the "external noise" of a chaotic world? In this 10-minute guided meditation, we explore the essential practice of mental shielding and energy protection. Designed specifically for empaths and those struggling with anxiety, this session provides a "somatic anchor" to help you detach from stress and reclaim your inner pilot light. In This Episode, You Will Explore:The Protective Sphere: A powerful visualization to build a "bubble of warmth" around your body, acting as a shield where chaotic energy simply bounces off. Somatic Release: Breathwork techniques (Inhale for 4, Exhale for 6) to signal your nervous system to "relax and unwind." Boundary Affirmations: Reframe your mindset with powerful intentions: "I am the guardian of my own energy" and "I can say no without guilt." The Log Cabin Visualization: Learn to observe the "winter storms" of life—job stress and expectations—through a window of detachment rather than being swept away by them. 3 Caring Tips for Daily Boundary Setting: The One-Minute Wait: Before committing to new requests, take 60 seconds to check your actual energy capacity. Visual Unplugging: Physically turn your phone face down or cover standby lights to give your brain a rest from "visual noise." The Warm Drink Anchor: Use the physical sensation of heat on your palms to ground yourself instantly in the present moment. About the Winter Radiance SeriesThis episode is Part 2 of our special Winter Radiance mini-series. While Part 1 focused on rekindling the spark, today we build the sanctuary.

Send us a textIn this week's episode of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I'm unpacking a topic that sits at the core of emotional healing and change: discomfort. Not all discomfort is the same, and confusing them is one of the main reasons people stay stuck far longer than they need to. One form of discomfort is the kind that keeps us trapped, the other is the kind that helps us grow.This episode is about learning how to tell the difference between chronic, soul-draining discomfort and the finite discomfort that leads to real healing, and how internal safety and support make all the difference.Some of the talking points I go over in this episode include:The difference between the endless discomfort of staying stuck and the temporary discomfort that comes with growth and changeWhy experiential avoidance numbs not only pain, but also joy, meaning, and alivenessHow manageable discomfort creates learning, flow, and forward movement instead of shutdownWhy a “safe base,” internally and externally, is essential for sustainable growthHow boundaries, emotional regulation, and support systems create the safety needed to tolerate changeDiscomfort isn't the enemy. But unsupported, overwhelming discomfort keeps us frozen. When you choose the finite discomfort of growth and pair it with enough safety, healing becomes possible and sustainable.Be sure to tune in to all the episodes for grounded insights, emotional tools, and practical guidance on living a more whole and connected life.Thank you for listening.

This week we're discussing Love as a Boundary Setting boundaries can feel especially difficult when you are a solo parent. You are carrying more, managing more emotions, and often trying to protect your children from further pain. In this conversation, Robert Beeson, Founder & CEO of Solo Parent, and Elizabeth Cole, single parent, are joined by Dr. Henry Cloud, clinical psychologist, leadership expert, and bestselling author of Boundaries, to talk about how healthy limits actually strengthen relationships, protect your peace, and help your children grow. Many solo parents wrestle with the same tensions. Saying yes out of guilt. Overcompensating for what their kids have been through. Feeling exhausted but unsure how to change long-standing patterns. These struggles matter because without boundaries, burnout, resentment, and chaos slowly replace the calm and stability every family needs. Today, we cover three main points: Why boundaries are not selfish Boundaries define where you end and someone else begins. When you protect your time, energy, and emotional health, you are not choosing yourself over others. You are creating the capacity to love well and consistently. Why love requires limits Love without structure often leads to resentment or enabling. Healthy limits protect relationships and allow generosity and connection to flourish in a sustainable way. Why boundaries help children grow Children need loving limits to develop responsibility, emotional regulation, and respect for others. What feels hard in the moment often prepares them for a healthier future. Healthy boundaries are not about controlling others. They are about taking responsibility for what is yours and building a home where both you and your children can thrive.

In this solo episode, Brian Thompson outlines practical steps for business owners to take back their time, including auditing their calendars, defining a 'hell yes' filter for opportunities, using scripts to say no gracefully, and starting small with boundary-setting. He stresses that reclaiming time is an ongoing practice that requires accountability, energy tracking, and celebrating small wins. By protecting their time, entrepreneurs can create space for joy, clarity, and purpose in their lives and businesses. Why do boundaries around time management matter Time is your most valuable resource. You can always make more money, but you can't make more time. And when you waste your time or give it away without thinking, you're robbing yourself of energy, creativity, and alignment. Also, busy does not equal productive. Entrepreneurs often confuse packed schedules with being effective, but being intentional with your time is what leads to real impact. In addition, burnout is real. When you say yes to everything, you eventually hit a wall. Your body knows, your creativity dries up, and your business suffers. Intentional time equals aligned action. When you reclaim your time, you make space for work that lights you up, moves your mission, and actually grows your business. 4 ways to take back your time as a business owner Here are four ways to start taking your time back, starting this week. Audit your calendar. Pull up last month's calendar and look at every meeting, task, or obligation. Highlight what you want more of and flag what needs to go. Define your hell yes filter. Hell yes may be easy to define in some circumstances, but with most things in life, there's a lot of gray. When a new opportunity comes in, check: does it support one of my values or goals? If not, it's a no, or at least a not right now. Use scripts to say no. You don't have to ghost people or be rude. You don't owe anyone an explanation, justification, or apology. Not wanting to is reason enough. You're allowed to protect your time because it matters to you, period. Scripts can be helpful training wheels, but over time, your no will stand on its own. Start small. If saying no feels scary, start with something low stakes, decline in casual coffee, shorten a meeting by 15 minutes, or block one morning a week to focus on work. Small wins build your boundary-setting muscle. How to stay on track with protecting your time Making this commitment is nothing without accountability. Reclaiming your time isn't a one-and-done move. It's a practice. Do a weekly time check. What drained me this week? What felt aligned and energizing? What do I want to do differently next week? Journaling or voice noting works wonders here. Track energy, not just time. Rate how you feel after each meeting or task. Patterns will emerge and they'll guide your decisions. Get an accountability buddy. Whether it's a business coach, friend, or mastermind group, share your hell yes commitment with somebody. Have them check in with you monthly. Celebrate every win. Each time you say no to something that's not aligned, pause and celebrate. You protected your time and your peace. I'll leave you with this. You are the steward of your time, not your clients, not your email box, not your calendar, you. The more you protect your time, the more space you create for joy, clarity, and purpose. Your mission deserves that, and you deserve that. Your action step to setting boundaries and taking back your time Schedule a 30-minute calendar audit this week. Look at what's a hell yes and what's not, then make one change. That's all it takes to begin.

Send us a textIn this week's episode of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I'm exploring what actually shifts when emotional safety stops coming from outside of you and starts being built internally. We talk about how our relationship with emotions changes when we stop using them as evidence about other people and start listening to them as information about ourselves.Some of the talking points I go over in this episode include:Why emotions are not verdicts about other people, but internal signals pointing to our needs, limits, and values.How growing up without emotional guidance leads us to scan the outside world for safety instead of developing self-trust.Why resentment, anxiety, guilt, and numbness are forms of information, not character flaws or signs that something is wrong with you.How repeatedly asking yourself “What do I want or need?” builds self-trust and internal safety over time.Why internal safety quiets emotional chaos and allows you to respond instead of react.When emotions stop being emergencies and start becoming messages, everything changes. You no longer need to fix others, suppress yourself, or abandon your needs to feel okay. Internal safety allows you to turn inward, listen, and respond from alignment instead of fear.Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of practical tools for building emotional safety, setting boundaries, and living a more whole, grounded life.Thank you for listening.

In today's episode of Psych Talk I chat with William Person, former Team USA Bobsledder and CTE advocate about chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). William defines for listeners what CTE is and what he feels is missing from the definition given his work with people who have experienced CTE symptoms. William discusses his personal journey with CTE symptoms from years of bobsledding and the subsequent consequences of these symptoms. He discusses the progression of CTE and some of the devastating consequences of such, especially for individuals who do not get treatment. William discusses what Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is and how it has helped his CTE symptoms. William shares what he believes needs to be done to both decrease the likelihood of individuals developing CTE and increasing access to supports after multiple brain injuries and discusses his Go Fund Fund me and mission to open a CTE Recovery Center. We end the episode with William sharing words of advice and encouragement for anyone who may be experiencing CTE symptoms.Connect with William:Facebook: William PersonLinkedIn: William PersonInstagram: @willp1234567YouTube: One Man With A ChamberTikTok: @hyperbarichealingGo Fund MeMentioned in this episode:NYT Article "Sled Head"Joe NamathConnect with Me:Follow me on IG @jessicaleighphdFollow the podcast on IG @psych.talk.podcastFollow me on TikTok @jessicaleighphdFollow me on Youtube Follow me on Threads @jessicaleighphdWelcome to Group Therapy PodcastJoin my Facebook community: Grow Through What You Go ThroughWays to Work With Me:Mind Over MatterLGBTQ+ Affirming MasterclassBe a guest on my podcastResources:Anti-Racism ResourcesLGBTQ+ Affirming ResourcesThe Helping Professional's Guide to Boundary SettingIntro/Outro MusicLife of Riley by Kevin MacLeodMusic License

This episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson covers the conversations people don't want to have, but that won't go away just because they're uncomfortable.We start with the newly released Epstein files and why their implications are being downplayed, rushed past, or deliberately blurred by our government. Then we address the circulating TPUSA / Erika Kirk / Charlie Kirk assassination-related news, breaking down what has actually been reported, what remains unclear, and why responsible people should care about facts, timelines, and accountability (as Candace Owens does). Truth matters, not carefully crafted false narratives.I also speak candidly about Trump's failures because blind loyalty helps no one, and criticism is not betrayal. If leadership is going to demand trust, it has to earn it. Same goes for respect.Finally, because many of you have asked, I address some personal matters: ongoing unwanted attention from men I have clearly and firmly removed from my life, including an individual by the name of Timothy Ronald C. (I will reveal his full legal name publicly if he does not leave me alone) and an ex whose post-NFL career implosions are not my responsibility to manage, nor care about.To be clear: this is not “dragging” solely for entertainment purposes. This is about boundaries I have made (which are very known). I am in a happy, healthy relationship, I have moved on, and these men will never see me again.This episode is about truth, discernment, and refusing to be bullied—politically, culturally, or personally—into silence.This is America, home of the brave and land of the FREE.--https://www.bible.com/

I just celebrated my 35th birthday, and this year, instead of fearing aging or buying into the narrative that getting older is something to dread, I decided to approach this milestone with gratitude, reflection, and intention.Aging is a privilege denied to many, and at 35, I can honestly say: I've never felt more like myself, and I wouldn't want to go back to who I was at 25.In this deeply personal and reflective episode, I'm sharing the 35 most life-changing lessons I've amassed about everything from confidence, mental health, and communication, to boundaries, purpose, willpower, and courage. Many of these insights were hard-earned over the last decade, and all of them have been shaped by the time I've spent hosting this podcast.This episode is for anyone navigating their 30s, questioning their timeline, rebuilding self-trust, and learning how to live with more intention and alignment instead of fear.Tune in to hear lessons including:Why motivation is a myth and systems matter more than disciplineHow confidence is built by keeping promises to yourselfThe importance of finding your career North StarAn antidote to anxiety, and why communication requires emotional regulationWhy community and relationships are essential to healingUsing boundaries properly, ending people-pleasing, and learning to say yes and no with clarityThe health and wellness changes that moved the needle for meRedefining success and how I use my time and moneyCourage over comfort… and why fear doesn't have to disappearChanging paths, changing your mind, and embracing life in chaptersWhy you are NOT behind in life (there is no correct timeline!)If any of these lessons resonate with you, I'd love to hear which one hit hardest. Comment what you connected with below, or share this episode with someone who's navigating a similar season of life.Thank you for being here, and for the continued gift of getting to grow up with the Teach Me How To Adult community throughout my 30s.

Send us a textIn this week's episode of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I'm talking about why so many couples get stuck having the same arguments over and over, and how real listening isn't about communication techniques, but about the assumptions we bring into the conversation before we ever open our mouths.This episode explores how internal safety, meaning-making, and unmanaged expectations quietly fuel chronic conflict loops in long-term relationships.Some of the talking points I go over in this episode include:Why chronic conflict is usually about exhaustion and meaning, not poor communication skillsHow collapsing disagreement into disrespect escalates fights and shuts down listeningThe danger of assigning meaning to behavior before actually communicatingWhy difference is not a boundary violation and does not need to be “fixed”How internal safety allows you to tolerate difference without panic or controlIf you find yourself stuck in chronic conflict loops, I want you to gently ask yourself a few questions.Where am I assuming disrespect instead of difference?What meaning am I assigning before I've actually communicated?Am I trying to be understood, or am I trying to change who my partner is?Listening doesn't mean agreement. It doesn't mean sameness. It means making room for difference without turning it into a problem that needs to be solved. When we stop trying to win and start trying to understand, connection becomes possible again.Be sure to tune in to all the episodes for practical tools, recovery insights, and real-life examples of what it means to live a more whole life.Thank you for listening.

Send us a textIn this week's episode of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I'm sharing a powerful realization from my own recovery journey: the pattern of emotionally unavailable partners wasn't just about who I was choosing, it was about my own emotional availability.For years, I believed I was unlucky in love. Through ACA recovery and a deep relationship inventory, I discovered how my nervous system, conditioning, and avoidance of emotions were shaping my relationships far more than I realized.Some of the talking points I go over in this episode include:Why attracting emotionally unavailable partners is often a sign of emotional unavailability within yourself.How ACA Step Four and the concept of causes and conditions revealed my relationship patterns.The role of emotional avoidance, numbing, and codependence in romantic dynamics.How emotions like resentment are signals, not verdicts, and what they're really telling you.Why boundaries are about clarity and self-responsibility, not control.If you want healthier, more secure relationships, the work doesn't start with finding better partners. It starts with becoming emotionally available to yourself. Learning to feel, listen, speak honestly, and set boundaries is where real change happens.Relationship inventory categories:PersonWhat I expectedWhat I gotMy dependent behaviorHow relationship endedAdditional categories I tracked:Who was I in love with?Who was I in relationship wth where we both knew “we're boyfriend and girlfriend?”Which relationships included massive substance use?Which relationships included infidelity with either of us?Which ones were friends with benefits?Who did I break up with and who broke up with me?Be sure to tune in to all the episodes for practical tools, recovery insights, and real-life examples of what it means to live a more whole life.Thank you for listening!

Many interior designers spend years honing hard skills like CAD drafting, space planning, and material selection—yet still feel stuck when it comes to client relationships, confidence, or stepping into leadership. I see this all the time, and it can be incredibly frustrating when you know you're talented, but something still feels like it's holding you back.The truth is, talent alone rarely sets designers apart anymore.What creates real career longevity and opportunity in interior design is how you show up as a professional—how you communicate, how you handle challenges, and how you lead both clients and projects. That's where soft skills come in.In this episode, I dive into the soft skills that make the biggest difference in real-world design work, including emotional intelligence, communication techniques, boundary setting, leadership skills, and professionalism. These are often the invisible skills that separate designers who are just getting by from those who are trusted, respected, and thriving in their careers.If you've ever felt technically capable but still struggled with difficult clients, miscommunication, burnout, or feeling overlooked in the workplace, this conversation is for you.What You'll Learn in This Episode✔️ Why soft skills matter just as much as technical design skills in interior design careers✔️ How emotional intelligence impacts client trust, presentations, and decision-making✔️ Communication techniques that improve client relationships and prevent costly mistakes✔️ How boundary setting protects your time, profitability, and mental well-being✔️ The role of leadership skills in managing projects, trades, and client expectations✔️ Why professionalism, enthusiasm, and teamwork set designers apart in the workplace✔️ How holding space for client transformation leads to deeper trust and better outcomesRead the Blog >>> Design Skills Series: Soft Skills for Interior DesignersNEXT STEPS:

Go here to secure your ticket: Here------------------------------What if an angry patient's "eruption" isn't an attack on you, but a desperate attempt to protect something vital, like their health, time, or family?In this essential episode, Dr. Bradley Block sits down with Luke Wiesner, a seasoned conflict specialist who's trained hundreds of healthcare teams, to unpack de-escalation strategies for volatile patient interactions. Drawing from his decade of experience in mediation and coaching, Luke introduces the "volcano" model: eruptions stem from underlying pressures, not malice. He outlines a repeatable framework: regulate yourself, relate to their emotions e.g., frustration over wasted time, seek understanding, and collaboratively solve problems while offering choices. They discuss avoiding defensiveness, acknowledging experiences even if "wrong", empowering staff with boundaries, and knowing when to escalate for safety. Perfect for physicians and teams facing post-COVID edge in offices or hospitals.If tense encounters leave you or your staff drained, this blueprint empowers you to de-escalate safely, foster trust, and reduce burnout, making you the office hero.Three Actionable Takeaways:Regulate yourself first to avoid fueling the fire: When facing an eruption, pause for deep breaths or a quick mental reset, remind yourself they're protecting something vital (health, time, money). This prevents defensiveness, decoupling you from being seen as the "threat," and sets the stage for calm rapport-building.Relate and reflect to build connection: Acknowledge their emotion with muted words like "frustrated" or "concerned", avoid "angry" to prevent pushback. Reflect on their experience: "This probably isn't how you planned to spend your afternoon, I can see how frustrating that is." Genuinely show you care to shift from adversaries to allies, using nonverbal cues like tone for authenticity.Solve collaboratively and set boundaries: Offer options for control e.g., "We can slot you in two weeks or add you to the waitlist, which works?". If inappropriate (e.g., profanity, threats), give a choice: "I'd like to help, but I can't if you continue speaking that way—let's adjust, or I'll need to involve my manager." Know your office's escalation protocol (e.g., security) for safety.About the Show:Succeed In Medicine covers patient interactions, burnout, career growth, personal finance, and more.

When you stop abandoning yourself, you stop building abandonment into your relationships. Boundaries help you stay present, grounded, and connected to who you are, so relationships stop feeling like life or death and start feeling safe.Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive practical tools for building emotional safety, healthier relationships, and a more whole life.Thank you for listening.

She grew up in chaos — emotional abuse, addiction, violence, and zero safety — and spent decades dissociated and trying to survive.Recovery changed everything.Renee shares how reading the 14 Traits of an adult child made her feel seen for the first time, how meetings and therapy helped her start telling the truth, and how she slowly found enough internal safety to live in her authentic identity. We talk about people-pleasing, overworking, childhood roles, and the shock of finally experiencing serenity when you've lived your whole life in chaos.Now she's present. She's grounded. She's no longer apologizing her way through the day. And she's living a life she truly never thought was possible as a transgener woman.This conversation is full of honesty, hope, and the kind of transformation that only happens when you stop surviving and start healing.Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive practical tools for living a more whole life and to hear even more about the points outlined above.Thank you for listening!

Send us a textHoliday gatherings can feel like emotional minefields, and we know how easy it is to slip into using food as a buffer when old wounds or tense dynamics resurface. In this episode, we talk honestly about how we're learning to stop hiding behind food and instead respond with wisdom, calm, and compassion. We reframe emotional eating as a short-term comfort that limits long-term growth, and then share a practical toolkit we use ourselves: crafting truth lists that anchor identity, setting healthy boundaries, and deciding food choices ahead of time so we don't collapse under decision fatigue. When tensions rise, we lean on simple breath prayers, quick pauses, and moments of presence that let grace shape our responses instead of our triggers.We also walk through our “look and learn” practice—an honest, shame-free way to reflect after a gathering and carry forward what actually helped. Scripture grounds every step for us: Romans 12:18, Psalm 139, Proverbs 4:23, Isaiah 26:3, and Colossians 3:15 remind us that peace is possible, even in difficult dynamics. We share real stories of setting boundaries, planning supportive conversations, and checking in with God throughout the day. When we choose presence over perfection and truth over people-pleasing, both our relationships and our food choices align more closely with who we are in Christ.Support the showLearn more about our Revelation Within Community: https://www.revelationwithin.org
Send us a textThe constant focus on things and people outside of your control is draining. I spent too many years of my life in this vicious cycle of external focus and validation, leaving me feeling like a fragmented, boundaryless version of myself. But all that changed with recovery. This week on the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I am sharing the recording of a guest appearance I did with the international recovery community, Friendly Circle Berlin. I share my story of codependency, how ACA and OA shaped my healing, why emotional sobriety is the centerpiece of my life, and five ways to keep the focus on yourself so you can create internal safety from the inside out. The five takeaways I go over in this episode include:Shift your focus to what you can control. Practice the power of self-inquiry. Mind your own business (and seek consent).Identify and own your feelings. Pour from the overflow. You are not shattered; you are whole. The key to lasting emotional sobriety is caring more about what you think of yourself than what others think of you. Start today by choosing integrity over people-pleasing.

In today's episode of Psych Talk I chat with Dr. Will Dobud, social worker, research, and senior lecturer about youth mental health. Will defines the "Kids these days" effect, which is also the title of his recent book with co-author Dr. Nevin Harper. Will discusses what inspired Nevin and him to write the book, as well as how it stands apart from other books on youth mental health. Will discusses the current state of youth mental health and various factors that are contributing to the current state of youth mental health. We discuss how Nevin and Will take a critical approach in the book, challenging their own and mainstream ideas about youth mental health and acknowledging the fact that, despite more therapists, awareness of mental health, and interventions, the research continues to show youth mental health is continuing to decline. Will also points out the cyclical nature of history and how many things we are discussing today with youth mental health have been discussed historically. We end the episode by discussing cultural shifts that need to take place to better support youth mental health, including better modeling from adults.Connect with Will:IG: @willdobudIG: @kids_these_days_bookSubstack: Adults in the RoomBook: Kids These DaysConnect with Me:Follow me on IG @jessicaleighphdFollow the podcast on IG @psych.talk.podcastFollow me on TikTok @jessicaleighphdFollow me on Youtube Follow me on Threads @jessicaleighphdWelcome to Group Therapy PodcastJoin my Facebook community: Grow Through What You Go ThroughWays to Work With Me:Mind Over MatterLGBTQ+ Affirming MasterclassBe a guest on my podcastResources:Anti-Racism ResourcesLGBTQ+ Affirming ResourcesThe Helping Professional's Guide to Boundary SettingIntro/Outro MusicLife of Riley by Kevin MacLeodMusic License

Send us a textThe bulldozer cycle, in relation to people pleasing, is the concept of feeling perpetually flattened by the demands and needs of others, trapped in a hidden cycle that leads to burnout and frustration.

Some of the talking points I go over in this episode include:The meaning of the “bulldozer cycle” and how it affects relationships.The difference between being bulldozed and being a bulldozer (even in subtle ways).The importance of self-awareness and responsibility in breaking unhealthy patterns.Practical steps for setting boundaries and regulating your nervous system.Inspirational questions to reflect on your own patterns of being bulldozed or bulldozing others.You don't have to stay flattened or bulldoze others to feel safe.

In today's episode of Psych Talk I chat with Kisha Reynolds, certified clinical hypnotherapist, certified life coach, and author. Kisha shares her personal journey with body focused repetitive behaviors (BRFBs) and how that led her to hypnotherapy and becoming a certified clinical hypnotherapist. Kisha describes why hypnotherapy is, as well as some common misconceptions about hypnotherapy. We discussed conditions which hypnotherapy can be beneficial for, as well as hypnotherapy can be an adjunctive treatment to traditional mental health therapy. Kisha defines for listeners what BRFBs are and how they impact one's daily life. She also describes how hypnotherapy can be used in the treatment of BRFBs. We end the episode by discussing how individuals can become certified in hypnotherapy or seek out hypnotherapy for themselves.Connect with Kisha:www.321deepsleep.comkisha@321deepsleep.com IG: @321deepsleepFacebook: 321 Deep SleepBook: Beyond the Habit: Understanding the development, triggers, and treatment for body focused repetitive behaviors (BRFBs)Resources mentioned in this episode:Hypnosis Motivational InstituteFifty Shades of Purple Against BullyingThe TLC Foundation for BFRBsThe Lyder FoundationConnect with Me:Follow me on IG @jessicaleighphdFollow the podcast on IG @psych.talk.podcastFollow me on TikTok @jessicaleighphdFollow me on Youtube Follow me on Threads @jessicaleighphdWelcome to Group Therapy PodcastJoin my Facebook community: Grow Through What You Go ThroughWays to Work With Me:Mind Over MatterLGBTQ+ Affirming MasterclassBe a guest on my podcastResources:Anti-Racism ResourcesLGBTQ+ Affirming ResourcesThe Helping Professional's Guide to Boundary SettingIntro/Outro MusicLife of Riley by Kevin MacLeodMusic License

Are you interested in setting better boundaries? Have you been struggling with people-pleasing? In this episode, we talk about how we can all live a life we love. Today, I talk with Susie Pettit. Susie has been helping women live lives they love for over 10 years. She is the host of the podcast Love Your Life Show and owner of the Wellness Company Strength: Mind & Body, LLC. She teaches firsthand about setting healthy boundaries, beating your inner critic, conscious parenting, and how to use mindfulness-based tools to beat overwhelm and anxiety. This is a powerful episode for anyone who struggles with what other people want from them. Questions I asked: How did you get started on this journey? How did you notice your struggles with people-pleasing and leave it behind? Why do we need to understand our reasoning for our co-dependency and other actions? How do our expectations go into co-dependency and boundaries? Why is it important to just start where you are? What are the roots of co-dependency? What's the name of your podcast? How do we avoid caring what other people think? Why is it so important to detach from our thoughts? How can we stop judging ourselves? Why do we benefit from just saying no? Tell everyone where they can find you online, and your Warrior group? Topics Discussed: People Pleasing. Boundary Setting. Loving Life. Co-Dependency. External validation. Self-Esteem. Healing from Trauma. Interdependency Your inner critic.

Bobby Lee (MADtv, Bad Friends) joins us again this week for an open and honest conversation about maturing with success and learning the importance of setting boundaries to help improve your self confidence and sanity. After we talk about Coldplay we get into Bobby's uncomfortability in social situations and the humor and fibs that have been his crutch. We also talk about his bond through Bad Friends, how Hollywood is being impacted by AI, and why he wouldn't be here without the sobriety the found at a young age. Thank you to our sponsors:
