Podcasts about braving

There's a quiet tension in love when you live with OCD—an unshakable feeling that something's off, followed by crushing doubt: Is this real, or is it just my disorder? You learn to second-guess yourself, to dismiss your instincts, to stay in places that feel unsafe because your brain tells you fear is always a lie. But what if it isn't?   In this episode of The OCD Whisperer Podcast, host Kristina Orlova talks with marine biologist, Antarctic researcher, and Braving the Waves author Ally Kristan about the dangerous intersection of OCD and relationships. Diagnosed at 12, Ally knows how OCD can distort reality—how you can mistake manipulation for reassurance, red flags for intrusive thoughts, and chaos for normalcy.   Together, they explore the heart of the dilemma: How do you trust yourself when your mind has betrayed you before? OCD doesn't just invent fears—it can bury real ones, conditioning you to ignore the quiet voice that says, This isn't right.   They unpack how manipulative partners exploit OCD's vulnerabilities—love bombing, gaslighting, instability disguised as passion. And they offer a counterpoint: what safe, steady love can actually feel like.   This episode isn't just insight—it's an invitation. To stop gaslighting yourself. To reclaim your instincts. To step into relationships that feel like peace instead of war.   The question isn't can you trust yourself again. It's: are you ready to try? Let's get into it! In This Episode [00:03] Introduction to Ally Kristan [01:00] Understanding OCD's impact [01:24] Distinguishing intrusive thoughts [02:32] Toxic relationships and therapy [04:48] Recognizing red flags [05:38] Love bombing explained [09:29] Gaslighting and its effects [10:12] Identifying healthy relationships [14:22] The role of reassurance in relationships [15:05] Navigating compulsive behaviors [16:18] Understanding relationship dynamics [16:46] Understanding OCD and relationships [17:10] Healthy relationship dynamics [18:07] Identifying toxic traits [18:54] Consistency in relationships [20:01] Evaluating relationship feelings [20:32] Comparing friendships to relationships [22:18] Good days vs. bad days [22:56] Rebuilding trust in instincts [23:21] Meditation for clarity [26:43] Nature as a healing tool [27:13] Finding the right meditation [28:32] Time and practice for intuition [29:20] Differentiating symptoms [32:03] Closing thoughts and Ally's resources   Notable Quotes [02:09] “It is really difficult to know the difference between the OCD noise and something that your gut instinct is telling you, especially in relationships." — Ally [06:52] "Love bombing is definitely something to look out for, especially if it's somebody pursuing you who you're not initially interested in. That should be a little bit of a red flag." — Ally [08:42] "When you're with someone who does truly love you and have your best interest at heart, they're going to make it feel like loving you is easier than breathing." — Ally [09:37] "Gaslighting is when somebody is basically making you doubt your own sense of reality." — Ally [17:47] "I really do believe that if you're with somebody who's really making you safe and really does have your best interest at heart, it's not going to exacerbate your OCD symptoms." — Ally [28:40] "Trying to regain touch with your own intuition and mind again, it takes time and practice and consistency, but once you get there, it's like the floodgates are open and such a sense of restored peace." — Ally Our Guest Ally Kristan is a marine biologist, wildlife advocate, and author of Braving the Waves, a memoir exploring her journey with OCD and toxic relationships. Her work has been featured in National Geographic, NPR, and Audubon Magazine.

In this heart-opening episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sana (filling in for Avik) sits down with author and retired school counselor Linda Feig Knipe to unpack the deep-rooted cultural and emotional patterns of people-pleasing—especially among women. Drawing from Linda's memoir Braving Therapy, the conversation explores the hidden costs of being the “good girl,” perfectionism, internalized shame, and the long journey to reclaiming authenticity through therapy. Linda shares her personal trauma story, how she buried pain to maintain appearances, and how real healing began only when she learned to speak her truth. About the Guest   Linda Feig Knipe is the author of Braving Therapy: Rape, Buried Trauma, and the Triumphant Journey Over PTSD. With over 20 years of experience as a professional school counselor, Linda now advocates for mental health awareness, especially around trauma and cultural expectations placed on women. A survivor herself, she shares her journey to empower others to break free from silence and perfectionism. Key Takeaways People-pleasing often stems from childhood praise for "good behavior" and suppressing one's own needs. Burying trauma to stay “perfect” leads to anxiety, self-criticism, and strained relationships. Healing starts with honesty—first with yourself, then with others. Therapy, especially with unconditional positive regard, is a safe space to rediscover your true self. Real strength lies in vulnerability and choosing healing over hiding.

Његове очи су биле пуне одлучности док је размишљао о залихама које су им биле потребне. Семена. То је било једино што је имао на уму.En: Milos was the leader. His eyes were full of determination as he thought about the supplies they needed. Seeds. That was the only thing on his mind.Sr: "Хајде," рекао је тихо. Његови другови су га следили.En: "Let's go," he said quietly. His companions followed him.Sr: Јована је корачала лагано, али са вером у његов избор.En: Jovana walked lightly but with faith in his choice.Sr: Она је увек налазила начин да види светлост чак и у овом мрачном свету.En: She always found a way to see the light even in this dark world.Sr: Драган је био знатељ окружења.En: Dragan was knowledgeable about the surroundings.Sr: Његов смирен поглед је проучавао распукле зидове и пратио скривене путеве кроз школу.En: His calm gaze studied the cracked walls and traced the hidden paths through the school.Sr: Унутра, ваздух је био хладан и влажан.En: Inside, the air was cold and damp.Sr: Мрак је био густ, али светлост пролећног сунца пробијала се кроз пукотине на крову, бацајући дуге сенке на под.En: The darkness was thick, but the light of the spring sun pierced through the cracks in the roof, casting long shadows on the floor.Sr: "Пазите на унакажене подове," упозорио је Драган тихо, показујући на делове подова који су се урушавају.En: "Watch out for the damaged floors," Dragan warned quietly, pointing to the parts of the floors that were collapsing.Sr: Милоš је одлучио да крене кроз ризичнији део школе, начин који још нису истражили.En: Milos decided to take a riskier route through the school, a path they hadn't explored yet.Sr: "Можда је овде нешто вредно," рекао је, и водио их напред.En: "Maybe there's something valuable here," he said, leading them forward.Sr: Са пуно опреза, кренули су дубље у шупље срце зграде.En: With great caution, they ventured deeper into the hollow heart of the building.Sr: Како су пролазили кроз мрачно крило школе, одједном су застали пред срушеним зидом.En: As they moved through the dark wing of the school, they suddenly stopped in front of a collapsed wall.Sr: "Морамо се пробити кроз ово," рекао је Милоš, али срце му је убрзано куцало.En: "We have to break through this," Milos said, but his heart was pounding.Sr: Био је свестан опасности која вреба.En: He was aware of the lurking danger.Sr: Док су се пробијали кроз рушевине, нешто се покренуло.En: As they broke through the rubble, something shifted.Sr: Звук пуцања се чуо, пао је део зида.En: The sound of breaking was heard, and a part of the wall fell.Sr: Милоš је морао брзо да одлучи. „Лево, брзо!“ повикао је, водећи их кроз уски пролаз.En: Milos had to decide quickly. “Left, quickly!” he shouted, leading them through a narrow passage.Sr: Прошли су кроз тајна врата која су их изненада избацила напоље кроз заборављени излаз у двориште школе.En: They passed through a secret door that suddenly thrust them outside through a forgotten exit into the school's yard.Sr: Били су исцрпљени, али живи.En: They were exhausted but alive.Sr: "Гледајте!" викнула је Јована, гледајући у стару закопану оставу.En: "Look!" Jovana shouted, gazing at an old buried storage.Sr: Унутра, Милош је пронашао семена којима је толико тежио.En: Inside, Milos found the seeds he had been longing for.Sr: С пролећним сунцем које их је обасјавало, осетили су наду.En: With the spring sun shining down on them, they felt hope.Sr: Милоš је осетио да је снажнији, способан да води своје пријатеље.En: Milos felt stronger, capable of leading his friends.Sr: Иако је свет око њих био разрушен, имали су шансу да поново изграде малени део светла у свом углу годинама порушеног света.En: Although the world around them was shattered, they had a chance to rebuild a small piece of light in their corner of a world destroyed over the years.

Drawing from more than two decades of experience as a workplace executive and extensive research on belonging and workplace trauma, Beth distilled her expertise into her debut book Braving the Workplace: Belonging at the Breaking Point. Named one of the world's leading experts in belonging, Dr. Beth Kaplan is sharing her insights on navigating the rapidly changing, modern workplace landscape. Her nonfiction book, Braving the Workplace: Belonging at the Breaking Point, combines groundbreaking research with engaging storytelling to offer a comprehensive guide for both employees and senior leaders to transform their work environments. Dr. Kaplan provides a clear, actionable framework to help individuals and organizations cultivate a sense of belonging at work while promoting mental health. Belonging is fundamental to our humanity, and the profound consequences of failing to foster it are clear. Gallup reports that more than 80% of Americans are dissatisfied with the way things are going across the board – at work and beyond. Braving the Workplace offers a valuable roadmap for many, from individuals grappling with personal belonging issues to senior leaders tackling leadership challenges and driving inclusivity. In this heartfelt and helpful book, Dr. Kaplan shares her personal journey of discovery, guiding readers through the importance of belonging in workplaces, while offering compassionate insights and practical wisdom.

Inside Braving the Workplace, readers will find:  Strategies for personal growth in finding a sense of belonging in the workplace  Practical tools to help people cultivate a strong sense of personal belonging in any environment  A step-by-step guide on how to understand the modern-day worker and lead with belonging, taking action to increase well-being and bottom-line results  Quizzes and writing prompts for self-reflection to help each reader make informed decisions about their professional and personal lives Dr. Kaplan has spent 15 years helping companies unlock success through a culture of belonging. As a trailblazer in her field, she integrates cutting-edge neuroscience with behavioral development, ushering in a new era of human connection. Her extensive expertise in learning, leadership development, and post-traumatic growth makes her a standout in her field well-positioned to write a book on the subject. “We are in a loneliness epidemic, and I don't think people know where to go or who to turn to. I wrote Braving the Workplace to help people feel less alone. My hope is that this book transforms isolation into a powerful sense of belonging for my readers,” Beth explains. For her work and insights, many call her your workplace best friend. Dr. Kaplan holds an M.S.Ed and Ed.D in learning and leadership strategy from The University of Pennsylvania. She currently lives in Bucks County, Pennsylvania with her husband and two sons.

In this latest podcast, we're talking about winter riding from two different perspectives: the tips and tricks we've learned to stay warm during those cold rides, but also how to make your indoor riding suck the least amount possible on those days when you say, “Nah, I'll just stay inside.” Besides that, we also get into the news. We dive into the latest 2024 UCI Crash Statistics report and some low-hanging fruit solutions to make road racing safer. Alvin talks about why CES 2025 matters if you're a bike nerd, even if they call it 'personal transportation.' Then there's a breakdown of what the latest SRAM Force AXS leak could mean in the near future, and all of our latest gear on test.

Ne aggódj, Emese - mondta Zoltán biztatóan.En: "Don't worry, Emese," said Zoltán reassuringly.Hu: - László tanár úr vigyáz ránk.En: "László teacher is watching over us."Hu: László, a tapasztalt tanár, szigorú tekintettel figyelte a diákokat.En: László, the experienced teacher, watched the students with a stern look.Hu: Tudta, hogy a tundra szépsége mögött komoly veszélyek rejtőznek.En: He knew that behind the beauty of the tundra, serious dangers lurked.Hu: Az arca piros volt a fagyos levegőtől, de a szemében ott csillogott az elkötelezettség.En: His face was red from the freezing air, but his eyes shone with dedication.Hu: Ahogy tovább haladtak, a szél egyre erősebbé vált, és a látóhatárt sötét felhők kezdték beborítani.En: As they continued on, the wind grew stronger, and dark clouds began to cover the horizon.Hu: Zoltán mindenáron látni akarta a sarki rókákat, de a szél süvítése azt jelezte, hogy nincs sok idejük.En: Zoltán wanted to see the arctic foxes at all costs, but the howling of the wind signaled that they didn't have much time.Hu: - Menjünk még egy kicsit tovább - javasolta Zoltán, miközben izgatottan a messzeséget fürkészte.En: "Let's go a little further," suggested Zoltán, excitedly scanning the distance.Hu: László viszont megállt és megfontoltan válaszolt: - Zoltán, az időjárás itt gyorsan változhat.En: However, László stopped and responded thoughtfully: "Zoltán, the weather can change quickly here.Hu: Nem szabad kockáztatnunk.En: We mustn't take risks."Hu: Ebben a pillanatban a hóvihar kitört, mintha a természet saját döntött volna helyettük.En: At that moment, the snowstorm broke out as if nature had made the decision for them.Hu: A hideg szél és a sűrű hó gyors menedékkénytet keresésre kényszerítette őket.En: The cold wind and dense snow forced them to quickly find shelter.Hu: Emese aggódó tekintete Zoltánra szegeződött.En: Emese's worried gaze focused on Zoltán.Hu: A csoport gyorsan egy kis jégbarlangot talált, ahol meghúzhatták magukat a vihar elvonulásáig.En: The group quickly found a small ice cave to shelter in until the storm passed.Hu: A barlangban összebújva várták a szél alábbhagyását.En: Huddled together in the cave, they waited for the wind to subside.Hu: László nyugodt hangon beszélt nekik a tundrai túlélés alapjairól és a természet erejéről.En: László spoke to them calmly about the basics of survival on the tundra and the power of nature.Hu: Emese Zoltán vállára hajtotta a fejét, és így szólított rá:- Tudom, hogy szerettél volna látni a rókákat.En: Emese rested her head on Zoltán's shoulder and softly said: "I know you wanted to see the foxes.Hu: De itt lenni veled és tanulni, sokkal fontosabb.En: But being here with you and learning is much more important."Hu: Zoltán bólintott, elismerve a barátja igazát.En: Zoltán nodded, acknowledging his friend's truth.Hu: A várakozás alatt megértette, hogy a biztonság és az összetartás mindig elsődleges.En: During the wait, he understood that safety and togetherness were always paramount.Hu: Az arktikus világ még sok csodát rejtegetett nekik, és nem egy nap alatt kell mindent látni.En: The arctic world still held many wonders for them, and they didn't have to see everything in one day.Hu: A hóvihar elültével a táj lassan újra megmutatta a fehér szépségét.En: As the snowstorm subsided, the landscape slowly revealed its white beauty once more.Hu: Ahogy visszatértek a táborhoz, Zoltán nem csalódott volt, hanem hálás.En: As they returned to the camp, Zoltán wasn't disappointed but grateful.Hu: Újra kalandozott a lenyűgöző tundrán, tudva, hogy nem csak a sarki rókákért, de az emberekért, a kalandért és az emlékekért is jött.En: He ventured again into the captivating tundra, knowing that he came not only for the arctic foxes but also for the people, the adventure, and the memories.

stedet.En: Beside him, Astrid carefully stepped through the deep snow, while Søren walked a few steps behind them, admiring the place.Da: De havde besluttet at tage en tur i skoven for at nyde vinterens skønhed.En: They had decided to take a trip into the forest to enjoy winter's beauty.Da: Men pludselig vendte vejret sig.En: But suddenly the weather changed.Da: Sneen blev tættere, og vinden blæste stærkt.En: The snow became denser, and the wind blew strongly.Da: Synligheden svandt ind til næsten ingenting.En: Visibility shrank to almost nothing.Da: ”Av!En: "Ouch!"Da: ” Astrid

længere.En: Mikkel realized that they could not wait any longer.Da: Der var en rangerhytte i nærheden.En: There was a ranger's cabin nearby.Da: Han besluttede sig for at bevæge sig varsomt mod den.En:

vandre.En: She nodded, and together they slowly began to walk.Da: Skridt for skridt bevægede de sig gennem skoven, Søren lige bag dem, hans stemme stadig opmuntrende.En: Step by step, they moved through the forest, Søren right behind them, his voice still encouraging.Da: Sneen dækkede stien, men Mikkel brugte sine kendskab til terrænet for at navigere.En: The snow covered the path, but Mikkel used his knowledge of the terrain to navigate.Da: Hjertet hamrede i hans bryst, men han holdt roen.En: His heart pounded in his chest, but he remained calm.Da: Han vidste, det var vigtigt nu.En: He knew it was important now.Da: Efter, hvad der føltes som timer, fik de øje på hyttens kontur.En: After what felt like hours, they spotted the outline of the cabin.Da: Det var et kærkomment syn.En: It was a welcome sight.Da: Med et sidste skub hjalp Mikkel Astrid indhu, hvor varmen fra en lille brændeovn bød dem velkommen.En: With one last push, Mikkel helped Astrid inside, where the warmth from a small wood stove welcomed them.Da: De sank sammen i lettelse.En: They sank down in relief.Da: Mikkel kiggede rundt på sine venner.En: Mikkel looked around at his friends.Da: Astrid smilede svagt, og

him.Da: Trods stormens vrede og usikkerheden på stien, havde han ført dem til sikkerhed.En: Despite the storm's wrath and the uncertainty on the path, he had led them to safety.Da: Skoven var stadig hans ven, og nu vidste han, at han kunne løse problemer, selv når alt ser håbløst ud.En: The forest was still his friend, and now he knew he could solve problems, even when everything seemed hopeless.
