What if true confidence isn't something you build—but something you rediscover within yourself? In this episode, Jessica and Kelly explore the theme of building confidence through self-connection, particularly in midlife. They discuss the importance of introspection, recognizing disconnection from oneself, and the core practices that can help individuals reconnect with their values and desires. The conversation emphasizes that true confidence comes from within and is about being authentic and unapologetically oneself. They also provide practical tips for listeners to cultivate self-connection and confidence in their daily lives. Inside This Conversation: Confidence is built through self-connection and introspection. Midlife is a time for rediscovering who you are. True confidence comes from within, not external validation. Recognizing disconnection from oneself is crucial for growth. Practices like journaling and mindfulness can enhance self-connection. Honoring your values is essential for building confidence. Celebrating small wins helps reinforce self-acceptance. Setting boundaries is a form of self-connection. Doubt is a natural part of the journey to confidence. Being unapologetically you is about being at home with yourself. Connect With Us:

Perfectionism feels safe — but it's actually what keeps dancers stuck.In this episode, Brittany shares her obsession with cleaning and reorganizing her office, and how it mirrors the way dancers procrastinate on facials, confidence, and performance. You'll learn why perfection is a moving target, why progress only comes from action, and how confidence is built through repetition, not waiting.

We're getting EXTRA personal. In this episode, we're talking about our sexual journeys, from growing up with shame and silence to finding confidence, connection, and actual pleasure. No fluff, no fake empowerment, just real conversations about what shaped us, what we had to unlearn, and what finally helped us feel comfortable in our own skin.We cover: How shame shaped our first experiences with sex. And how it still shows up in subtle ways today. What we thought “good sex” was supposed to be. And how those expectations completely missed the point. How confidence around sex actually develops. It's not instant, and it's definitely not about performing. What helped us rebuild our relationships with our bodies. The tools, therapy, and mindset shifts that made a difference. Why talking about sex changes everything. We share how these conversations helped us feel more connected, not embarrassed. The difference between being desired and feeling desire. And why that distinction matters way more than you think. How to navigate your own sexual growth. Tips for starting your own “unlearning and relearning” process without judgment. Where to go from here. We share how our new 1:1 coaching program can help you rebuild confidence, communicate better, and reconnect with your body and pleasure. Learn more about 1:1 coaching HERE!

What happens when your past keeps rewriting your future?We all carry stories — ones we didn't choose, ones that shaped our reactions, confidence, and leadership. But what if those stories aren't true anymore? What if the version of you that learned to survive isn't the same one called to lead?In this transformative episode, Jason VanRuler, MA, CSAT — a nationally recognized therapist, speaker, and author specializing in relationships, attachment, and dating — joins the conversation to share how facing your broken places can lead to true connection and personal freedom. Jason's journey from a chaotic, trauma-filled childhood to becoming one of the most respected voices in emotional health and leadership offers a roadmap for anyone ready to take ownership of their story.Featured in major national news outlets, known for his strong social media presence, and having spoken on stages to thousands, Jason brings both professional insight and raw honesty to every conversation. He's the author of Get Past Your Past (Zondervan, 2023) and the upcoming Discovering Your Communication Type, set to be released in April — a groundbreaking look at how our attachment styles shape the way we speak, lead, and love.He reveals why truth is the ultimate kindness, how confidence is something we earn through small, consistent action, and why uncovering your origin story is the foundation of authentic leadership. Whether you're leading a team, a family, or yourself, this episode will challenge how you view growth, success, and self-awareness.Quotes:“The best kind of confidence is the kind you earned. You can only earn it if you know where you're starting.”“If we don't really understand why that's the goal, we'll never get there. What fuels us fools us into thinking, ‘When I get X, I will feel Y,' but fulfillment comes from knowing our true origin story.”“You don't have to do the big thing every day, but you've got to do a thing every day that helps you be better—and do it consistently.”Actionable Takeaways:Identify your “scale moment.”Write down one area of your life where you've been avoiding the truth — your finances, health, or relationships. What would it look like to face it honestly this week?Audit your personal story.Reflect on a belief you've carried since childhood (“I'm not good enough,” “I always mess up,” etc.). Ask yourself: Is this still true today — or just an old story I've never rewritten?Earn your confidence through small wins.Choose one habit or routine you can do daily — no matter how small — that reinforces trust in yourself. Consistency, not perfection, builds authentic confidence.Define your communication type.Are you a Peacemaker, Advocate, Thinker, Harbor, or Spark? Notice how you naturally communicate under stress, and identify one way to better connect with someone who communicates differently.Celebrate progress, not just results.At the end of each week, list one thing you accomplished or handled better than before. Pause to acknowledge growth before moving on to the next challenge.Conclusion:Jason VanRuler reminds us that growth doesn't begin with perfection — it begins with honesty. When we stop hiding behind stories that no longer serve us and start owning where we really are, we gain the power to change everything. Confidence isn't something we're given; it's something we earn through daily discipline, reflection, and courage.Whether you're a leader, parent, or student of life, the path forward starts with one question:What story about yourself needs to change — and what truth are you finally ready to face?Call-to-action:If this episode inspired you, take the next step: dive deeper into Jason's work through his books Get Past Your Past and Discovering Your Communication Type, and begin building a more intentional, truthful, and connected version of yourself.

Confidence doesn't just appear overnight—it's built through action, reflection, and plenty of imperfect work.

So whether you're just starting out or rebuilding momentum, this conversation will help you see how far you've come and remind you that confidence grows one small step at a time.Episode Blog Link: https://www.levelupartists.com/lua-podcast/219Sign up for our studio newsletters at: https://www.AmeighArt.com https://www.JaclynSanders.com https://www.levelupartists.com Connect with us on Instagram: / ameighart / jsandersstudio / levelupartists Music by: https://www.coreyclaxton.com Watching or listening to one of our earlier episodes?

In this episode, Alissa gets real about one of the biggest reasons highly sensitive people stay stuck—overthinking instead of acting.She shares why consuming self-help content isn't enough, why confidence doesn't come from journaling or affirmations alone, and how taking small, messy action steps is what actually rewires your identity and builds self-trust.Through client stories, personal reflection, and her own journey from blog posts to a Penguin Random House book deal, Alissa shows how you can stop waiting to feel ready and start becoming the version of yourself who already does the thing.What You'll Learn:Why awareness alone won't create transformationThe difference between knowing what to do and actually doing itWhy confidence is built through discomfort, not perfectionSimple ways to practice self-trust in low-stakes situationsHow small, consistent steps compound into massive growth over timeFor presale details about the Not Too Sensitive Club, DM me on Instagram @lifebyalissa⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!

How To Keep Kids Listening (and Loving It! | Ms. Monica on Positive Parenting & Preschool StrategiesWelcome to Back Talk, the official podcast from Successful Black Parenting Magazine!

Nurse practitioner Judi Lacinak has spent more than two decades working with patients living with HIV, the last three with those needing long-term or post-acute care. She's both a clinical expert and a passionate advocate for better HIV care. That makes her an ideal candidate to teach others how to treat patients, understand the risks and deliver treatment and services while preserving dignity. During a recent visit to Broadway House for Continuing Care, McKnight's Long-Term Care News asked Lacinak for strategies that can help build confidence for new caregivers. For new staff, she says, training on bloodborne pathogens, infection control, standard precautions, enhanced barrier precautions and various types of isolation are critical. They can improve care for patients and reduce fear or misunderstanding among frontline team members. “I think back to the '80s and the '90s when somebody had HIV and they were put in a room in isolation and they were in there by themselves because we as healthcare providers didn't know,” she tells McKnight's Senior Editor Kimberly Marselas. “But nowadays it's different. You walk into a room, you're going to treat that patient who's HIV-positive the same as you would treat the patient who's in the bed next to them, who's not,” she explains. “Think of it as a chronic illness, and if I can manage your high blood pressure, I can manage HIV.” Lacinak, a nurse educator, also offers advice on how to educate patients to be better advocates for themselves, especially amid continued advances in the medications that control the virus and support their immune systems. And in this final piece of McKnight's HIV in LTC series, Lacinak also takes a few minutes to remember a short-stay patient whose life she touched — and whom she later encountered thriving after treatment. “I really think that it's a privilege to take care of patients here. And I try to get that through to student nurses, when they come through here, that somebody is trusting their family member or their loved one into your hands to be a caregiver to them,” she says. “That's a privilege that we can't take lightly.” Listeners of this special McKnight's Newsmakers podcast will come away with actionable insights and an uplifting dose of inspiration.

On this week's episode, I covered a topic I've never covered before: pegging. So strap onto your strap-on, this is going to be an out there ride! Joining me was Luna Matatas, a Toronto-based sex and pleasure educator with 15+ years of experience in kink, anal play, and Femdom. Luna's expertise and humour made this conversation both fun and very spicy.Pegging, in simple terms, is when a cisgender woman uses a strap-on dildo to penetrate a cisgender male partner. Beyond the physical act, it explores vulnerability and gender role subversion, which many find deeply thrilling. Or not. When it comes to pegging, my personal experience is that it's like Marmite - the sticky brown stuff that the British love to put on their bread that tastes of beef stock. It's personal whether you love it or loathe it. (Maybe that's not quite the right analogy but I'm certain you know what I mean). And same goes for pegging. I know men whom became obsessed after a pegging session and a bigger group that think that any form of anal play means they are almost certainly gay.My personal opinion is that exploring our errogonous zones is one of life's greatest pleasures so why should bums be off limit? However, when it comes to pegging, there are a few ground rules that make the whole experience much more pleasurable.Here are Luna's practical tips:* Preparation Matters: Start small, warm up with external stimulation, and always use plenty of lube. As Luna says, “If you think you have enough lube, add more.”* Communication is Key: When bringing up pegging, focus on the feelings or desires behind the fantasy. This opens the door to mutual exploration without pressure.* Aftercare is Essential: Emotional and physical check-ins post-pegging are vital. Whether it's cuddling, talking, or a warm bath, aftercare helps everyone feel grounded.We also discussed how societal attitudes toward pleasure and masculinity are shifting, with younger generations embracing curiosity and shedding shame.This conversation was a reminder to stay curious and open to new experiences. Luna was an absolute hoot, and I can't wait to have her back to dive into more topics like Femdom. Until next time, take care and remember: desire doesn't retire! 00:00 Introduction to Pegging and Its Appeal02:51 Understanding the Mechanics of Pegging05:38 The Emotional Aspects of Pegging08:28 Power Dynamics in Pegging11:19 Communication and Consent in Pegging14:20 Tools and Techniques for Pegging17:08 Building Confidence in Pegging19:47 Aftercare and Recovery22:50 Societal Changes and Attitudes Towards PeggingYou can find Luna Matatas here.Hi, I'm Suzanne, author of the bestseller ‘The Butcher, the Baker, the Candlestick Maker: An Erotic Memoir,' pleasure seeker and curious about ways to improve our intimate relationships as we age.Each week, I delve into a different aspects of sex, dating and relationships with an expert which I bring to you via the Sex Advice for Seniors podcast.

This week on the Gnar Couch Podshow, we hang with rampage-riding legend CJ Ceilig. Okay, she's not legendary yet, but she will be after this podcast. She somehow makes a terrible sausage party pod team actually worth listening to. She's a Eurotah-bouncing, breakfast sandwich-dodging shredder who's done it all. From bluffing her way through a bike-shop job (“Derailleur? Totally pasta.”) to leading teams at Five Ten and Reverse Components, CJ's story is equal parts hilarious and inspiring. We talk about the chaos of Rampage prep, the magic and madness of Virgin, Utah, and the glamorous side of living in a van, which may or may not include neighbors who poop in buckets.  If you're here for serious bike discussion, you're in the wrong place. But if you love grit, humor, and real stories from the freeride desert and beyond, hit play. Guest info: CJ Celig Check out our store for sick shirts. Got to our Patreon and give us money.

How much should you charge for a talk? This the question Alyssa Zajdel has been trying to navigate recently as she was invited to speak at small, local organizations and a larger college group. As a graduate of the Money Skills for Therapists course, she's confident with her 1:1 pricing and the financial management of her solo practice. However, getting invited to speak on stage to a bigger crowd requires an entirely different math equation and goals conversation. Linzy coaches Alyssa through aligning her service offerings with her personal passions, business goals, and value delivery to arrive at some price options, based on the audience she'll be speaking to. They talk through establishing a starting point for her pricing, the topic, and what the modifiers might be.

The key to raising resilient children isn't protecting them from failure — it's teaching them they're capable of handling whatever comes their way. In this inspiring episode of Real Things Living, host Brigitte Cutshall speaks with Dana Sutton, a veteran tutor and children's book author. Dana discusses her transition from tutoring students (preschool through university) to writing books that teach important life lessons. Her debut book, "You Can Do Hard Things," stems from her belief that children should develop confidence in handling difficulties rather than having parents solve problems for them.Dana's parenting philosophy of setting activity "minimums not limits," her second book "Maddie Finds Her Place" (inspired by her adopted daughter's story), and her approach to addressing challenging topics in children's literature. She emphasizes the importance of listening without reacting, creating safe spaces for children to share experiences, and teaching kids that multiple paths to success exist.Key Takeaways:(1) You Don't Learn From Wins, You Learn From Losses (2) Create Safe Spaces Through Active Listening (3) Address Difficult Topics Early and Age-AppropriatelyVisit Dana Sutton's website at https:// www.danasuttonbooks.com to explore her children's books "You Can Do Hard Things" and "Maddie Finds Her Place."
