Have you ever done all the “right” self-care things, taken the bath, bought a planner, scheduled the massage, and still felt completely exhausted?In this episode, we're unpacking why that happens. Most women aren't bad at self-care. We're just investing in practices that don't actually restore us. In a culture that praises hustle, sacrifice, and pushing through (hello, military life), it's easy to lose touch with our own needs. Over time, we forget how to answer the question: What do I actually need right now?I introduce the concept of low-yield vs. high-yield self-care, and why high-yield practices are deeply personal, discovered through reflection and experimentation, not copied from the internet. When you learn to identify your unmet needs and choose practices that truly replenish you, everything shifts. You regain capacity. You regain energy. You regain hope.In This Episode:Why popular self-care trends often leave you feeling the sameThe difference between low-yield and high-yield self-careHow military culture and life experiences disconnect you from your needsWhy meeting your needs is not selfish, it's essentialA simple way to evaluate your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual bucketsHow to approach self-care with curiosity instead of judgmentRESOURCES:High-Yield Self Care Guide:https://fabulous-pioneer-9504.kit.com/e83556732bSIGN UP FOR THE APP:https://www.christinamattisonyoga.com/lead-your-life-appConnect with me in the Strong and Resilient Woman Community on Facebook HERE (https://www.facebook.com/groups/yogaformilitarywomen)Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/themilitaryyogiPodcast Website: www.leadingwithheartpodcast.comSHOW NOTES: https://www.christinamattisonyoga.com/blog/episode90Connect with me in the Strong and Resilient Woman Community on Facebook HERE (https://www.facebook.com/groups/yogaformilitarywomen), or on Instagram @themilitaryyogiMore about Christina Mattison and the Leading with Heart PodcastHey there!

In this episode of SHE MD, Mary Alice Haney and Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi welcome back Dr. Kelly Casperson to discuss perimenopause, menopause, and hormone therapy with clarity and science instead of fear.Dr. Casperson explains why perimenopause is a clinical diagnosis, not simply a lab result, and why so many women are dismissed as “too young” or “too old” when their symptoms are real. She addresses the biggest myth about hormone replacement therapy and reframes the conversation around individualized, science-backed risk-benefit decisions.The discussion dives into testosterone for women, including its impact on libido, motivation, muscle mass, and mood, along with the risks of high-dose hormone pellets. They explore progesterone for sleep, the hysterectomy myth, and why vaginal estrogen is one of the safest and most effective treatments for dryness, painful sex, bladder urgency, and recurrent UTIs.The episode also tackles the midlife brain, brain fog, and how estrogen influences glucose metabolism. From restoring desire in long-term relationships to navigating alcohol, supplements, and exercise, this conversation reinforces one powerful truth: women are not broken. With the right knowledge and support, midlife can be a season of clarity, strength, and transformation.Subscribe to SHE MD Podcast for expert tips on PCOS, Endometriosis, fertility, and hormonal balance.

Love the episode? Send us a text!What if part of what makes cancer so hard isn't just the diagnosis—but the spaces where care happens?In this eye-opening episode of Breast Cancer Conversations, host Laura Carfang explores how hospital design, architecture, and the built environment directly shape the cancer experience, often in ways patients never realize—but deeply feel.Laura is joined by Abbie Clary, Executive Director of Market Strategies and Growth for Health for All, and a nationally recognized leader in healthcare architecture and experience design. With millions of square feet of cancer and healthcare facilities in her portfolio—including projects at Memorial Sloan Kettering, MD Anderson, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab—Abbie pulls back the curtain on how hospitals are designed, who they're designed for, and why women are so often treated as the “outlier.”Together, they discuss trauma-informed design, survivorship-centered care, caregiver inclusion, gender bias in medical spaces, and why healing doesn't only happen through medicine—it happens through dignity, control, and environment.In This Episode, We Talk About:Why hospitals and medical spaces are often designed for a “default male”How architecture impacts anxiety, trauma, and healing for cancer patientsWhat trauma-informed design actually looks like in practiceWhy cancer patients experience healthcare differently than other patientsThe importance of designing for repeat visits, not one-time careHow caregivers and loved ones should be treated as part of the care teamWhy dignity, control, and privacy matter as much as efficiencyGender bias in medical design—from gowns to equipment to workflowsWhy women's pain and discomfort are often minimized in healthcareDesigning cancer centers for survivorship, not just treatmentAbout Today's GuestAbbie Clary, FAIA, FACHA, is the Executive Director of Market Strategies and Growth — Health for All. Her work spans some of the most ambitious healthcare projects in the world, including Memorial Sloan Kettering's new Cancer Care Pavilion, MD Anderson Cancer Center's 2030 facilities master plan, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab in Chicago.A nationally sought-after speaker and TEDx presenter, Abbie's work focuses on transforming healthcare through strategic, human-centered design—bridging architecture, culture change, patient experience, and health equity.

For many pastors, the AGM is something to be survived — not led.A governance headache. A compliance exercise.And for some, the meeting where old tensions resurface and trust quietly erodes.But what if we've misunderstood the AGM?What if, instead of just doing compliance, we aimed to build confidence?What if the AGM could be a leadership moment — one that strengthens, not damages, your church?Jo Gibbs (Reach Australia) and Dave Moore (Hunter Bible Church) on how to plan and lead an excellent church AGM.Why good AGM preparation is actually pastoral careHow to move from enduring the AGM to envisioning itWhy “no surprises” is kindness, not bureaucracyWhat faithful impact and financial reporting really look likeAnd what a genuinely Jesus-honouring AGM would feel likeFurther reading: https://reachaustralia.com.au/its-agm-time-again/ http://www.thepastorsheart.net/podcast/rethinking-the-annual-general-meetingThe Church Cohttp://www.thechurchco.com is a website and app platform built specifically for churches.  Anglican AidTo find out more about supporting Anglican Aid.

Most brands aren't failing.They're just fading into the background.In this episode, Jeff sits down with David Brier, one of the sharpest and most unapologetic minds in branding, to talk about why so much marketing today feels polished, competent… and completely forgettable.David calls it the Wall of Beige: what happens when brands optimize for speed, safety, and scale - but quietly lose their nerve, their taste, and their point of view along the way.We get into why “meeting expectations” is actually a trap. Why pumping out more content won't save you if it costs you differentiation. And why loyalty isn't built through clever tactics - it's built through intention.From the ritual of opening an iPhone box, to handwritten notes, to small human moments most brands overlook, this conversation breaks down how everyday interactions - when handled with conviction - become the reason people come back, talk about you, and choose you again.This isn't a conversation about trends.It's a conversation about standards.If you're a founder, executive, or brand leader who's tired of sounding like everyone else - and wants people to stop saying “that's nice” and start saying “I want more of that” - this is the episode for you.What we exploreWhy so many brands blend in (even when they're doing “everything right”)The difference between convenience and careHow fanatical intention turns moments into loyaltyWhy anticipation beats persuasionWhere authenticity actually comes from - and where it doesn'tChapters00:00 — Turning Ordinary Into Amazing00:44 — AI, Speed & the Wall of Beige04:42 — Why Playing It Safe Is Riskier06:23 — Freshness, Familiarity & Surprise10:14 — The iPhone Box Lesson12:03 — Practitioner vs Professional vs Genius18:23 — Fanatical Intention22:39 — Why Meeting Expectations Is a Failure27:05 — Human Effort Creates Loyalty30:32 — Apple vs Microsoft: DNA Matters36:40 — Refusing to Let Ordinary Be Ordinary41:58 — Curiosity Beats Confusion44:07 — Why Meaning Beats Marketing55:17 — The Next 4 Years vs the Next 4058:44 — “I Want More of That”Connect with Jeff Abracen on LinkedIn [https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffabracen/]If you are or know a disruptive influencer who would make a great guest, we'd love to hear from you.

Are you overthinking…or under-processing? What if reflection was the missing piece to becoming (and receiving) everything you've ever wanted?Today, Tara Schuster returns to the Expanded Podcast to explore one of the most impactful healing modalities there is: journaling. Her latest book, This Journal F*cking Works, offers a science-backed and historical look at why journaling is so powerful, woven together with humor and Tara's own journey of rewriting internal narratives to break free from toxic, repetitive thought loops. It's an invitation to start “DMing with your soul” and to open up neural pathways of self-understanding, emotional processing, and healing.Jessica and Tara unpack why ritual matters. Not everything is about maximizing habits, productivity, or “doing it right.” Real transformation often comes from giving your brain space to process lived experience: to be honest, imperfect, and fully human. With this outlook, journaling becomes a bridge between science and intuition, seamlessly supporting your own TBM and personal growth practice.This conversation is for anyone who feels stuck in mental loops, wants a grounded and research-backed way to connect more deeply with intuition, and yearns to understand who they are at their core.**Trigger warning: Discussion of self-harm and abusive family dynamics at 00:07:10 through 00:09:28**Find the complete show notes here -> https://tobemagnetic.com/expanded-podcast Resources: Return to Magic - 15 Day Manifestation ChallengeA 15-day guided journey to reparent your inner child, reconnect with your magic, and step into this new year as your most confident, regulated, and magnetic self yet.

The podcast episode featured a conversation with Professor Sharon Lawn about mental health systems, lived experience, and the importance of humanising care for individuals with mental health challenges. We discuss the need for more person-centered, compassionate approaches in mental health services and the value of incorporating lived experience perspectives into research, policy, and practice.

Hey Diabuddy thank you for listening to show, send me some positive vibes with your favorite part of this episode.In today's episode, I sit down with Sara Lerner, Director of Community Engagement at Blue Circle Health, to talk about what it really takes to live well with Type 1 Diabetes—and why the current healthcare system often falls short.Sara shares her personal journey of being diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes (T1D) as an adult at age 25, including the fear, missteps, and challenges that come with adult-onset diagnosis. Drawing from both her lived experience and her professional background as a social worker, Sara explains how access, education, mental health support, insurance navigation, and community all play critical roles in diabetes success.The conversation dives deep into why so many adults are misdiagnosed, why “compliance” is the wrong word in diabetes care, and how Blue Circle Health was created to close the massive gaps between what people with T1D need and what they can actually access.If you've ever felt unheard, unsupported, overwhelmed by insurance, or unsure where to turn for help with diabetes—this episode is for you.

In this episode, Debi Robinson sits down with Dr. Anil Bajnath, MD, a board-certified physician and leader in precision medicine, to explore how personalized healthcare is reshaping the future of bone health and osteoporosis prevention.Rather than waiting for bone loss to appear on a DEXA scan, precision medicine focuses on identifying the root biological drivers of bone loss years earlier—chronic inflammation, mitochondrial decline, hormonal imbalance, gut dysfunction, immune aging, and cellular senescence.This conversation offers a hopeful, empowering reframe: bone loss is not an inevitable consequence of aging, but a reflection of modifiable biological processes. When we understand and support those processes early, we create the conditions for stronger bones, healthier aging, and greater resilience.

Send us a textIn this episode of Soulful Self-Care Conversations, Pearl sits down with LeeAnna Taylor, a coach and mentor for women entrepreneurs in their startup phase, to talk about one of the most overlooked — yet most critical — aspects of business success: systems and organization.After meeting at a high-level women's entrepreneurship event in Las Vegas, Pearl knew LeeAnna's approach to helping new solopreneurs build sustainable businesses aligned perfectly with the transformational work she does with women at her retreats.This conversation dives deep into:Why so many women feel overwhelmed after starting a businessHow lack of systems creates stress, burnout, and chaosWhy organization is a form of self-careHow saying “yes” to structure gives you back time, clarity, and confidenceIf you've ever felt like your business owns you instead of the other way around — this episode is for you.Meet the Guest: LeeAnna TaylorLeeAnna Taylor is a:Military spouseSerial entrepreneurCoach and mentor for women entrepreneurs in their startup phaseFounder of Biz Bytes Collective, a mentorship space built for women creating something of their ownLeeAnna helps new solopreneurs find direction and confidence by guiding them through systems and operations setup, so they can stop feeling scattered and start building businesses that support their lives — not consume them.Introducing Little LeeAnna: The Roots of a High AchieverLeeAnna opens up about her childhood, sharing that she was a high-achieving, easily overwhelmed, and often angry child — something she now recognizes as sensory overload common in many driven women.Growing up in a small town with limited representation of entrepreneurs, LeeAnna followed the traditional path she believed was “success”: college, career, climb the ladder. But that path eventually led to dissatisfaction — and ultimately, to entrepreneurship.Her story highlights a powerful truth:Many women don't lack ambition — they lack representation and systems.Why Systems Matter (More Than You Think)LeeAnna explains that most of her clients don't come to her saying:“I don't know what business to start.”Instead, they say:“I feel disorganized.”“I'm stressed all the time.”“I don't know what to work on next.”“I feel like I'm busy, but nothing is moving forward.”Her first step with every client is a mini audit, asking:What is the one thing causing the most stress right now — and what would immediately make you feel lighter?That answer becomes the starting point.The Most Important System to Build FirstBefore CRMs, email platforms, or automation tools, LeeAnna emphasizes one foundational system:

If you've ever felt like your body has changed and nothing seems to work anymore — even when you're “doing everything right” — this episode will give you hope, clarity, and real answers. At 41, Ashley Shaw — a mom of two, successful entrepreneur, and lifelong health advocate — hit a wall. Despite marathon training and strict keto, her energy crashed, her weight wouldn't budge, and food cravings took over. That's when she decided to look deeper.In this powerful conversation, Ashley shares how functional lab testing and personalized protocols helped her uncover hidden imbalances, repair her metabolism, and finally lose 25 pounds without restriction or burnout. She also opens up about her experience adding peptide therapy — what worked, what didn't, and how it helped her reignite her spark. ✨ Inside this episode: The real reason traditional diets and willpower stop working in perimenopauseHow functional testing changed everything for Ashley's health and mindsetWhat she learned about balancing business, motherhood, and self-careHow peptide therapy accelerated healing and fat loss when used strategicallyIf you've been feeling exhausted, frustrated, or stuck in a body that no longer feels like your own, this episode is your reminder that transformation is possible.

Amanda, a leadership coach and entrepreneur from Toronto, arrived at Enfold after years of personal development work and therapy that could not move the needle on her deepest patterns. Despite knowing exactly what she “should” be doing, she felt stuck in depressive episodes and self-criticism — caught between the part of her that wanted to heal and the part of her that believed love was only accessible when she was suffering.Her 5-MeO-DMT journey became a powerful homecoming to the love within herself. What began with fear — of doing it wrong, of not remembering anything, of wasting another investment — unfolded into a profound rewiring of her nervous system. In her ceremony, she released decades of shame, met the younger parts of herself that had equated suffering with connection, and learned what it felt like to be fully held.Four months later, Amanda's life feels spacious and aligned. She's stopped equating discipline with worth, stopped performing productivity as proof of value, and started leading from self-compassion. What's emerging is a deeper sense of trust, self-love, and creative alignment — both personally and professionally.In This EpisodeWhat happens when self-awareness alone can't shift old patternsHow depression and procrastination can mask deeper misalignmentMeeting the inner child who believed love only came through sufferingThe moment she asked to be held, and realized she was worthy of love and careHow integration deepened through internal family systems therapyRewriting the link between productivity and self-worthLiving from alignment rather than discipline

Episode Description:In this episode of the LIFTS Podcast, host Emily Freeman talks with Pam Ponich, Perinatal Program Manager for One Health, about an innovative program changing the face of perinatal support in Montana — the Peer Recovery Doula certification.Pam, a longtime psychotherapist and program developer, helped create this dual certification for Certified Behavioral Health Peer Support Specialists and Full Spectrum Doulas. The program recognizes the powerful overlap between peer support and birth work — both rooted in trust, lived experience, and standing beside rather than above the person being served.Together, Emily and Pam discuss how this work helps fill critical workforce gaps in rural and frontier areas, reduces stigma, and offers a more compassionate, coordinated approach to supporting families — especially those navigating recovery, trauma, or behavioral health challenges during pregnancy and postpartum.Topics in this episode include:What peer support specialists and recovery doulas doHow lived experience strengthens behavioral health and birth workAddressing trauma and stigma in perinatal careHow the Meadowlark Initiative and other statewide efforts are reshaping systems of carePathways for becoming a certified Peer Recovery Doula in MontanaHow Medicaid reimbursement and certification are evolving for doulasResources mentioned:LIFTS Online Resource Guide: hmhb-lifts.org The Meadowlark Initiative: https://mthf.org/priority/the-meadowlark-initiative/ One Health Recovery Doula Program Information: https://www.ruralhealthinfo.org/project-examples/1123Montana Free Press Recovery Doula Article: https://montanafreepress.org/2023/10/16/montana-recovery-doulas-bridge-gaps-for-pregnant-people-struggling-with-addiction/ Contact: For more information about upcoming Peer Recovery Doula trainings, email Pam Ponich at Pam.Ponich@onechc.org.Enjoying the podcast?

From waiting for the perfect moment to spiraling into guilt when plans fall apart, they share raw reflections on how perfectionism holds us back and what it looks like to embrace imperfection instead.In this episode, you'll learn:Why perfectionism and vulnerability don't play well togetherHow high expectations set us up for frustration and burnoutThe hidden trap of waiting for “perfect timing” before doing self-careWhy nature and movement are powerful (and imperfect) forms of self-careHow rest, even when unplanned, counts as real self-careSimple ways to reset when self-care doesn't go as planned Self-care isn't about picture-perfect timing or flawless execution; it's about meeting yourself where you are. Jill and Linda remind us that sometimes the most powerful form of care is letting go of expectations and embracing the imperfect options in front of you. If you've ever delayed self-care because the stars didn't align, this episode will help you reset, refocus, and take the pressure off. Until next week, we hope you can unstuck your muck!
