Fourteen hours of excruciating pain, a hospital emergency room, and a curtain separating her from another patient's groaning and complaints — and then, just as the medicine began to kick in, a quiet and unsettling invitation in Kelly Balarie's mind: doesn't it feel good to be taken care of? Doesn't it feel nice to finally get the attention and compassion you've been needing? In this raw and spiritually perceptive episode, Kelly describes the moment she recognized that voice for exactly what it was — and refused to sign the contract it was offering. The paralytic man in John 5 had been lying on his mat for thirty-eight years. He had reasons, excuses, and circumstances that seemed to justify staying exactly where he was. But Jesus did not coddle his pain or validate his helplessness. He simply said: get up, pick up your mat, and walk. Kelly draws a clear and challenging parallel between that man's mat and the mat of self-pity we can each find ourselves lying on — sometimes without even realizing it. Pain is real, need is real, and suffering deserves compassion. But there is a difference between receiving care and making a home in helplessness. The invitation from Jesus is always the same: rise up. Take a step. Walk. Bible Verse "Then Jesus said to him, 'Get up! Pick up your mat and walk.'"— John 5:8, NIV Ponder Today Self-pity can masquerade as a need for compassion. The enemy is not above using real pain and real vulnerability to lure us into a posture of ongoing helplessness. Recognizing the difference between genuine need and self-pity is a spiritually important act. Looking to people for what only God can provide will always leave us empty. When we seek from others the validation, attention, and care that only God can truly give, we set ourselves up for deeper disappointment and deeper need. Pain is often healed as we take a new step. Healing rarely comes in full before we are asked to move. Like the paralytic who rose and walked, sometimes obedience to the command precedes the complete restoration we are longing for. Reject the enemy's contracts early. The invitation to stay down, stay sick, and stay sorry for yourself is subtle and can feel reasonable in a moment of vulnerability. Identify it, name it, and refuse it — just as Kelly did in that hospital room. A Prayer for You Today Father, help us when we feel down and out — when it seems like there is no way forward. Show us Your way instead. May we rise up according to Your strength and not our own. Help us not to look to people for what only You can truly provide. May we be strong in the power of Your might, and may we have the courage to pick up our mats and walk. In Jesus' name, Amen. Don't Miss an Episode If today's prayer stirred the courage to rise up from whatever has been holding you down, we'd love to stay connected.

No one likes to throw up. But for some, the mere thought of vomiting is a Level 12 emergency that halts life in its tracks. Imagine avoiding bars, concerts, and even the grocery store because a stranger might look "pale." This is the reality of emetophobia—a debilitating fear of vomiting that often hides in the shadows of more common diagnoses like anxiety or eating disorders. In this episode, we peel back the layers of this misunderstood condition with ADAA member expert Ken Goodman, LCSW, and emetophobia sufferer Lorraine Leal. Ken breaks down why emetophobia is far more than a gross-out reaction; it is a complex anxiety disorder that forces sufferers to construct elaborate safety behaviors just to survive the day. Lorraine shares her raw, personal journey of living with a fear so intense she would rather die than vomit. She details the isolation of being labeled a bad friend for avoiding germ-filled social spaces and the crushing guilt of feeling like a burden on her family. Listener Takeaways Understanding that for many, the fear of others getting sick is just as paralyzing Learn how safety behaviors can actually fuel the phobia instead of preventing the danger Recognize why emetophobia is frequently mistaken for other disorders Learn what type of therapist to seek out to treat this unique disorder Tune in to dive into the overlap between emetophobia and OCD, the safety behaviors that keep sufferers trapped, and a surprising look at why treatment doesn't actually involve being forced to vomit. This episode has been sponsored by the Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA). "Some people would rather die than vomit, and that is something that most onlookers don't see." ~Lorraine Leal, Emetophobia Survivor Our guest, Lorraine Leal, is 42 and a lifelong emetophobia sufferer. Lorraine is from Long Island where she enjoys performing in local musical theater productions, nail art, and reading. Our guest, Ken Goodman, LCSW, specializes in the treatment of anxiety disorders and OCD.  He is on the board of directors for the Anxiety and Depression Association of America and is Founding Director of QuietMindSolutions.com. He has authored and produced several self-help courses and books including “The Anxiety Solution Series,” a 12-hour audio course, “Break Free from Anxiety,” a coloring self-help book, and “The Health Anxiety Handbook.” He also wrote the top selling book on emetophobia, “The Emetophobia Manual,” and produced a pre-recorded emetophobia course. He lectures at universities and organizations across the country. He earned his bachelor's and master's degrees from UCLA and operates his online private practice in Los Angeles. Our host, Gabe Howard, is an award-winning writer and speaker who lives with bipolar disorder. He is the author of the popular book, "Mental Illness is an Asshole and other Observations," available from Amazon; signed copies are also available directly from the author. Gabe is also the host of the "Inside Bipolar" podcast with Dr. Nicole Washington. Gabe makes his home in the suburbs of Columbus, Ohio. He lives with his supportive wife, Kendall, and a Miniature Schnauzer dog that he never wanted, but now can't imagine life without.

We've all bought something that felt like a great deal at the time, and now we're still paying it off, wondering what we were thinking. If money has ever kept you up at night, this one's for you.This is the final part of a shame-free, guilt-free conversation about money, the kind most of us are already having at home about debt, savings, and what's actually enough. Chris digs into the common traps that quietly drain us, from subscriptions we forgot about to the "emergency" that became permanent, and a 2,000-year-old letter to a young guy named Timothy that names the real problem: it's not money itself, it's the feeling underneath it. The big idea is simple. Live with margin so you can live on mission. No spreadsheets-make-you-cringe lecture, just a practical way to close the gap between your income and your ego.What you'll walk away with:The four money traps that catch almost everyone, and how to spot themWhy wanting to feel rich is more dangerous than wanting to be richA simple give 10 / save 10 / live on 80 starting point you can actually useWhy a budget might be the most spiritual thing you do this weekA reframe on wealth that takes the pressure off keeping up with everyone elseSpeaker: Chris Podlich | Beyond Church, Griffin.Your best next step:

Do you want to know why your narcissistic mother's silent treatment has such an effect? If this toxic behaviour leaves you feeling anxious, confused and hurting you are not alone in this. A narcissistic mother will use the silent treatment as a way to control and punish you, to get you to fall back in line. Each time it leaves you dysregulated and yet it doesn't have to be this way. High chances are your mother won't change, but there's something you can do to break free from this manipulation.

Have you ever felt stuck in the same cycle, making the same mistakes, or carrying the same struggles no matter how hard you try to change? In week eight of our Acts series, Here for Good, Pastor Dwan Hill explores Peter’s message following the miraculous healing of a man who had never walked before. While the crowd focused on the miracle, Peter pointed them to something even deeper: the power of Jesus to heal what’s broken beneath the surface. Acts 3 reminds us that God created the world good, but sin has distorted what He intended. Left on our own, we often find ourselves trapped in cycles of striving, shame, and self-reliance. But through Jesus, there is another way. Peter’s invitation to “repent and turn to God” isn’t about punishment or guilt. It’s an invitation to freedom, refreshing, healing, and restoration. Whether you’re carrying hidden struggles, searching for a fresh start, or wondering if real change is possible, this message offers hope that God can meet you exactly where you are and begin transforming your life from the inside out. What is one area of your life where God may be inviting you to turn toward Him today? Share your thoughts in the comments below. If this message encouraged you, be sure to like, subscribe, and share it with someone who needs hope today. Join our Acts study: crosspoint.tv/acts

"The fastest way to transform your business is to make yourself unnecessary." MYTH #1: "I need to fix everything at once." You don't fix everything at once. You fix one bottleneck. And that bottleneck is you. You're in the middle of every decision, every question, every problem, every client issue. So you don't start by fixing your team. You start by documenting what's in your head so your team can operate without you. The surprising truth: The fastest way to transform your business is to make yourself unnecessary.   MYTH #2: "My team isn't ready for this." You've trained them to need you. Every time they come to you with a question and you answer it, you're training them to come back. Your team isn't incapable. They're dependent. And you created that dependency. The surprising move: Stop answering questions. Start asking, "What do you think we should do?"   MYTH #3: "This will take forever." Most of what you need can be built in 30 days. Not perfected. Built. You need clarity on three things: - What decisions are theirs to make? - What does great look like in each role? - What's the weekly rhythm? The surprising truth: You're six conversations away from a self-running business.   MYTH #4: "I need to fire everyone and start over." Some of your "mediocre" people aren't mediocre. They're just operating in a broken system. Give them clarity. Give them boundaries. Give them a standard to rise to. And some of them will shock you. The surprising truth: Your "mediocre" team might be one conversation away from great.   MYTH #5: "I have to work more to fix this." Fixing this gives you time back. Immediately. When you document what's in your head, you stop answering the same questions over and over. When you create decision boundaries, you stop being pulled into every decision. The surprising truth: The work you do to build infrastructure eliminates the work you're doing now.   MYTH #6: "My business is different. This won't work for me." Your business is unique. But the fundamentals aren't. Every business needs role clarity. Every business needs decision boundaries. Every business needs a weekly rhythm. The surprising truth: The businesses that think they're "too different" are usually the ones who need this most.   WHAT YOU'RE ACTUALLY AFRAID OF: You're not afraid of the work. You're afraid of what happens if it doesn't work. You're afraid of looking weak. You're afraid of admitting you've been doing it wrong. You're afraid of losing control. Those fears are normal. And they're lying to you. You're not weak for needing systems. You're smart. You're not admitting failure. You're stepping into leadership. You're not losing control. You're gaining leverage.   WHAT BREAKING FREE ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE: Week 1-2: Document what's in your head. Define roles. Create decision boundaries. Week 3-4: Roll it out. Some people step up. Some resist. Week 5-6: Your team starts making decisions without you. You get hours back. Week 7-8: You're not firefighting anymore. You're leading.   THE THREE THINGS THAT HAPPEN FAST: 1. Some people rise 2. Some people leave (and that's good) 3. You get your life back   THE BIGGEST MISTAKE: Waiting. There will never be a right time. You have to build the plane while you're flying it.   THE SOLUTION: Bulletproof COO builds the infrastructure that sets you free. 3-5 conversations. You talk. The system builds what's in your head, defines roles, creates decision boundaries, builds weekly rhythm, and structures onboarding. ACTION STEP: You can keep paying the tolerance tax. Keep being the bottleneck. Or you can break free. Not by burning it down. But by building it up. Go to bulletproofbusinessgrowth.com/coo and make the changes. The choice is yours.

Women are constantly told to trust their bodies… right up until their bodies start telling them something medicine can't immediately explain. In this powerful and deeply validating conversation, Nicole sits down with Amy Kurtz — certified health coach, patient advocate, speaker, and author of But You Look Fine: Trapped in the Hell Between Sick and Well and How to Break Free — to unpack the emotional aftermath of chronic illness, medical gaslighting, invisible symptoms, and the complicated grief that comes from losing trust in your own body. Amy shares her experience navigating late-stage Lyme disease, seeing 36 doctors before getting answers, and what she calls “medical trauma brain” — the hypervigilance, anxiety, and identity loss that can remain long after physical symptoms improve. Together, Nicole and Amy explore why so many women feel dismissed in healthcare settings, how chronic illness reshapes relationships and self-trust, and why healing is about far more than just getting a diagnosis. This episode is for every woman who has ever walked out of a doctor's office feeling unheard, minimized, or crazy — and for every person who's ever been told, “But you look fine.” We explore: How chronic illness and invisible symptoms impact identity and self-trust The concept of “medical trauma brain” and illness after the illness Why healing isn't linear — physically or emotionally Practical nervous system regulation tools for anxiety and hypervigilance How to support loved ones dealing with chronic illness or perimenopause The connection between women's health, appearance, and societal expectations Why rebuilding agency over your body is essential to healing This conversation is equal parts rage, relief, validation, and empowerment — the kind that makes you feel less alone and more equipped to trust yourself again.

#215 - You're “Better”… So Why Do You Still Feel Like This? With Amy Kurtz   At some point, you get past the diagnosis. You finally start to feel physically better or the flare passes. And everyone—including you—thinks: okay, this is where life goes back to normal. Except… it doesn't. In this episode, I'm joined again by Amy Kurtz—patient advocate, bestselling author of Kicking Sick, and her new book But You Look Fine—and we're talking about the healing phase no one prepares you for: What happens after the illness because for a lot of people, that's where a different kind of struggle begins. Amy shares her experience of finally getting answers after years of chronic illness (we're talking 30+ doctors), beginning to heal physically, and then being hit with something she didn't expect: Debilitating anxiety. Hypervigilance. A nervous system that refused to stand down. Even though she moved beyond the illness, her body had been in survival mode for so long, it didn't know how to be anything else. What we unpack in this episode: The “in-between” phase of healing—when you're not sick, but you're not okay either Why your nervous system doesn't automatically catch up just because your labs look better The concept of Medical Trauma Brain (MTB)—Amy's term for the imprint chronic illness leaves behind How years of survival mode can turn into anxiety, fear, or obsessive control even after you improve The grief that comes with lost time, missed seasons, and a life that didn't go the way you thought Why healing isn't just physical—and what happens when we ignore the emotional and neurological layers The connection between chronic illness and trauma (including how this differs from traditional PTSD) What it actually looks like to start regulating your nervous system in a practical, doable way We also go here: The subtle ways people self-abandon in medical settings—and how to stop doing that Why “doctor knows best” can keep you stuck (and what to do instead) The fawn response in healthcare—and why it feels so hard to advocate for yourself How to choose the right practitioner for you (not just the most recommended one) The reality that 80% of your healing happens outside the doctor's office   A few moments to listen for: 08:30 – Her husband's provocative question that made Amy realize she wasn't actually “better” 14:00 – What Medical Trauma Brain really is—and why you've never heard of it 19:00 – Living in constant fear even after your body improves 27:00 – The fawn response and why patients stay in bad medical relationships 36:30 – “It all starts with peeing” (stay with us—it's actually profound) 44:00 – Why meditation can feel impossible—and what that tells you 52:00 – What Amy would do differently if she could go back   The part that stays with you: This idea that you can spend years fighting to get better… finally get there… and still feel trapped. If this sounds familiar, you're not failing. It's just that no one told you there's an aftermath to surviving something so hard. Amy calls it the “shadowlands”—that space where you look fine on the outside, but internally, your system is still bracing for impact. If you've ever thought: Why can't I just relax? Why am I still on edge? Why do I feel like something's about to go wrong—even when it's not? This episode will put language to that. If this is you right now, there's a way to actually teach your body that it's safe again. And the steps are easier than you think. This conversation isn't just about chronic illness. It's about what happens when you've been in survival mode for so long that you don't know how to turn it off. And how to start finding your way back.

How can leaders support their team's mental health if they ignore their own? In this episode, Kevin talks with Melissa Doman about why leadership mental health deserves more attention. Melissa explains that leaders are often expected to shoulder more responsibility, model resilience, support employee well-being, adapt to constant change, and deliver results—without the same permission or support to care for themselves. Kevin and Melissa explore the pressure leaders face, the self-sacrifice narratives they tell themselves, and why organizations must make it clear that mental health resources are for leaders, too. They also discuss practical first steps, including reflecting on what you want to share, why, whether your workplace is safe for the conversation, and how organizations can build mental health self-management into leadership development. Melissa's Story: Melissa Doman, MA, is the author of Yes, You Can Talk About Mental Health at Work (Here's Why And How To Do It Really Well), and the new title, Cornered Office: Why We Need To Talk About Leadership Mental Health. She is an Organizational Psychologist, a former Mental Health Therapist, and Founder of The Workplace Mental Health Method™. Melissa works with companies across industries and around the globe, including clients like Google, Progressive, Estée Lauder, the MLS team - Orlando City Soccer Club, Microsoft, and Salesforce. She's spoken and mentored at SXSW and has been featured as a subject matter expert in CNN, Vogue, NPR, Fast Company, the BBC, CNBC, Inc., and LinkedIn's Top 10 Voices on Mental Health. Melissa has one core goal: to equip companies, individuals, and leaders to have constructive conversations about mental health, team dynamics, and communication at work. https://www.melissadoman.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/melissadoman1/ https://www.instagram.com/thewanderingmel/ Looking to Develop Stronger Leaders?

What happens when your body starts to heal, but your mind is still trapped in survival mode? In this episode of hol+, Dr. Taz sits down with Amy Kurtz, certified health coach, patient advocate, speaker, and author "But You Look Fine", for a powerful conversation about chronic illness, Lyme disease, medical gaslighting, nervous system trauma, and what it really means to heal.Together, they explore Amy's 20+ year journey through unexplained pain, chronic symptoms, misdiagnosis, and the search for answers that finally led to a diagnosis of late-stage neurological Lyme disease and co-infections. Amy shares what it was like to be told her labs were normal while knowing something was deeply wrong in her body, and how years of invalidation shaped her relationship with her health, her identity, and her trust in herself.Dr. Taz and Amy also discuss why so many people live in the “gray zone” between sick and well, especially when symptoms are invisible, complex, or hard to explain. They unpack why normal labs do not always mean optimal health, why Lyme disease can be missed for years, and how chronic illness can impact relationships, career, emotional safety, and the nervous system.This conversation offers a grounded and hopeful look at what happens after illness, when the body may be improving but the mind and nervous system are still bracing for the next crash. Amy introduces her concept of Medical Trauma Brain, or MTB, which describes the anxiety, hypervigilance, fear, and survival patterns that can remain after chronic illness, cancer, stroke, chronic pain, or any major health crisis.If you're listening to this and thinking, “I know something is off in my body, but I don't know where to start,” join the Circle here:

Today we finished our Break Free series being reminded that we have to put down our baggage in order to walk in freedom.

Why do driven, high-functioning people sometimes find themselves trapped in codependency  — bound to others in ways that feel obsessive, compulsive, and impossible to escape? In this episode, psychotherapist and Jungian analyst Gary Trosclair explores the hidden connection between compulsive personality types and codependent relationship patterns. Drawing on  attachment theory and Jungian psychology, Gary breaks down how the four compulsive types — the Mentor-Boss, the People-Pleaser, the Workaholic, and the Overthinker — each fall into codependent relationships  in their own distinct ways. You'll learn how popular culture romanticizes dependency, how your attachment style shapes your relationship habits, and why interdependence  — not codependence — is the healthier model for lasting love.

Why does everything feel overwhelming lately?The laundry.The emails.The decisions.The conversations you've been avoiding.Even the smallest things can start to feel heavy.If you've been feeling mentally exhausted, emotionally drained, constantly behind, or wondering why life feels harder than it should, this episode is for you.In this episode of Holistic Mama Speaks, we're exploring what overwhelm really is, why pushing harder rarely works, and what may actually be happening beneath the surface.You'll discover why overwhelm isn't a sign that something is wrong with you... and why feeling lighter may have less to do with doing more and more to do with releasing what's been weighing you down.If you've ever found yourself asking:• Why does everything overwhelm me?• Why do I feel mentally exhausted all the time?• Why can't I seem to keep up?• Why does even the smallest thing feel like too much?This episode may help you see things in a completely different way.Resources Mentioned:Take the FREE Stuck Point Quiz:https://stuckpointquiz.comGet the Unstickify Your Life Workbook:https://unstickifyyourlife.comJoin the Unstickify Your Life Academy:https://holisticmamaspeaks.com/academyFor show notes, free resources, and more episodes, visit:https://holisticmamaspeaks.comIf you're ready to go deeper and uncover what may be keeping you stuck, you can explore the Stuck Point Scan, a simple session designed to help identify and release the biggest block holding you back:https://stuckpointscan.comPodcast Listener Bonus:Receive free access to the Unstickify Your Life Academy:https://holisticmamaspeaks.com/academyReady to go deeper?Grab your copy of the Unstickify Your Life 30-Day Empowerment Workbook:https://unstickifyyourlife.comFollow Us onFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/holisticmamaspeaksInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/holisticmamaspeaksConnect with Your Host, Carrie Marie onFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/carriemarievaughn & https://www.facebook.com/carriemarievaughnunstickifyyourlifecoachInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thecarriemariev

In my recent conversation with Nir Eyal, a best-selling author and behavioral expert, we delved into the nature of beliefs, underscoring how they are neither facts nor fixed. Nir shared an enlightening perspective on how beliefs can be either limiting or liberating. It's fascinating to learn how our minds can be both our greatest allies and our heaviest burdens when clinging to outdated beliefs. The takeaway? We have the power to rewire our perception and shift those beliefs, treating them as tools rather than truths, which allows us to nurture motivation and reduce suffering. Applying this idea to everyday life, I find it empowering to tackle the "muck"—those sticky areas where we feel stuck—by reassessing my beliefs. It resonates with how I coach women to see their identities dynamically. This is a gentle reminder to all of us: let's hold our identities lightly and focus on who we want to become.

High achievers don't get stuck because they lack effort. They get stuck because they're moving fast in the wrong direction. In this episode of The Upgraded Man Podcast, Chris Anderson sits down with high-performance coach Tim Kelly to unpack why so many capable men hit a ceiling and what it actually takes to break through. Tim is a former Navy rescue swimmer, commercial real estate investor, author, and founder of Active Duty Passive Income. After achieving financial freedom and then losing over seven figures, he rebuilt his life around clarity, faith, and disciplined daily action. Now he helps high performers get out of their own way and build lives that are both successful and fulfilling. In this conversation, Chris and Tim cover: The three reasons even the highest performers stay stuck Why clarity is the foundation of high performance, and how to run a clarity audit on yourself The difference between staying busy and making real progress Why financial freedom means nothing without responsibility and purpose The GROWS framework: God, Relationships, Occupation, Wealth, and Strength Why you cannot succeed in isolation and how to get into the right rooms How to reframe failure as a win, progress, or a lesson The courage it takes to have the hard conversations in your personal life This one is for any man who looks successful on paper but knows he's capable of more. It's a blueprint for trading busyness for clarity and finally moving the needle on the things that matter most.

I no longer wish to be CEO of this company."How do you build a female entrepreneurship platform? How do you make it one of the biggest of its kind in the world? And how do you walk away from something like that? Those were some of the questions I had in mind before sitting down with today's guest.During our conversation, she breaks down what makes content actually convert. Why audience growth and revenue growth are two completely different things. And most importantly, how she went from burning out to making over $2.2 million while completely offline for 12 weeks.

But when we uncover the spiritual roots of this struggle and embrace who we are in Christ, the strongholds begin to fall. The call isn't simply to “stop sinning,” but to step into the fullness of life as beloved sons and daughters—walking in holiness and community. To see how this unfolds in real life, let's revisit our three characters.
