Ever wondered what actually happens at a healing retreat? In this episode of Boss Bitch Radio, I'm sharing my real, unfiltered experience attending a small, intimate women's healing retreat - the kind that isn't rushed, isn't performative, and goes way deeper than journaling and yoga poses. I talk about why I chose a retreat focused on healing the heart, what it felt like being in such a small group (only five women), and why that intimacy completely changed the experience for me. We get into nervous system regulation, breathwork, silence, somatic healing, and what happens when you finally give yourself the space to slow down and actually feel. And yes - this experience directly inspired me to create my own small, intimate retreat for women, so if you've been DMing me asking to be on the list, make sure you're on the newsletter

Martin Luther King Jr. Day is a chance to reflect on King's life, his words and the work he urged us to continue. King believed in justice rooted in community, in young people as leaders and in the power of any individual to create the change they want to see. Coming up at 9 a.m. on Monday, MPR News host Angela Davis talks with high school students across Minnesota who are engaging with King's message in meaningful ways. They're leading student groups, organizing for change, serving their communities and asking hard questions about equity and justice.

Sam Wegner, pastor, chaplain, longtime ministry leader, and author of The Weight of the Wait, joins us to talk about the hard seasons we never asked for and the hope that sustains us anyway. After navigating years of anticipatory grief alongside his wife's battle with cancer, Sam learned that waiting isn't just something we endure — it's a place where faith is forged, resilience grows, and unexpected purpose emerges. In this conversation, he unwraps how to hold hope in uncertainty, find peace amid unanswered questions, trust in the middle of pause, and discover spiritual strength in the waiting room of life. This is real, raw, and rooted in faith — perfect for anyone who's ever asked, “How long, God?”https://samwegner.com/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/i-am-refocused-radio--2671113/support.Subscribe now at YouTube.com/@RefocusedNetworkThank you for your time. 

Condemnation can quietly weigh down even the most faithful believers, especially when perfectionism and performance replace grace. Romans 8:1 offers freeing truth: for those in Christ Jesus, condemnation no longer exists because Jesus already carried the full weight of sin and shame on the cross. Highlights Perfectionism often disguises itself as faith but leads to exhaustion and emptiness. Guilt and shame push us away from God, while grace draws us closer. Self-condemnation is a burden Jesus never intended believers to carry. Romans 8:1 declares complete freedom from condemnation for those in Christ. Jesus paid the full debt for sin—nothing more is required from us. Our identity is found in Christ’s finished work, not our performance. Grace is a gift to rest in, not something to strive to maintain. Do you want to listen ad-free?

Full Transcript Below: Carrying the Unnecessary Weight of Condemnation By: Emily Rose Massey Bible Reading: “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus” (Romans 8:1, ESV). For many years, I was driven by perfectionism and the feeling that I had to work successfully or perform well in life to be loved by other people… and to be loved by God. On the outside, I looked like I had it all together- high honors throughout school, hyper-involvement in extracurricular activities, serving in any ministry I was asked to be involved in, star of the high school plays and musicals, head cheerleader, first chair clarinet player in the band, and the list goes on and on. But on the inside, I was so empty and constantly searching for true fulfillment. I knew God was there for me, but somehow, I thought I could be perfect in my own strength on my walk with Him. Because we are human, we fail time and time again. We make a mess of things more often than not. Guilt and shame can often push us further away from God, instead of closer. For so long as a Christian, I was allowing self-condemnation to take root in my heart, and it weighed me down as I walked around carrying all of the baggage of my past sins and failures, thinking that I had to continue to strive to keep God’s forgiveness. Thankfully, today, I no longer live burdened by a work-based mentality. I find my identity in the finished work of Christ, and I want to encourage you, dear brothers and sisters in Christ, you should too. Grace is a gift that cannot be earned, and you do not have to strive to keep it either. In Romans 8:1, the Bible tells us that we do not have to carry condemnation in our lives when we’re truly in Christ. If you are a born-again believer, condemnation does not exist because the punishment for our failures and sins does not exist. “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus” (Romans 8:1, ESV). This means that when we embrace and believe what Jesus did for us on the cross, as He took the punishment for our sin that we deserved, our lives are now hidden in Christ. When we come to God with a heart full of repentance, resting in this glorious, finished work of the cross, we can stand before the throne of God without any shame because Jesus bore all of it for us. The debt we owed has been paid in full- we are free from all bondage. Intersecting Life & Faith: Jesus took all of your sin and your shame upon Himself and cast it as far as the east is from the west, friend. Do you struggle with thoughts of shame from your past? Fix your eyes on the finished work of the cross. Christ bore the weight of your sin; you no longer have to live with the weight of your failures. You can come boldly to the throne of grace, beloved, because it is grace that did the work for you. You can rest assured that God sees you as blameless and perfect because you are in Christ. There is no reason to carry that heavy burden of condemnation upon your shoulders… surrender it to Christ today. Let’s pray that you learn to no longer walk around carrying the weight of your past and stop striving for perfection. Remember, Jesus is blameless and perfect for you… lean upon Him.

Carrying the weight of bills, debts, or financial uncertainty? Remember that God is always in control. As we pray for work and finances, let's surrender all our anxieties and ask for wisdom. In our lack, may we hold faith in God as our greatest provider.

Send us a textHiieee. I'm back…And honestly… I didn't plan to be away this long.But something in me needed silence. Needed space. Needed nothing.Because if you'd asked me even a few weeks ago how I felt about 2025, I would have said I was more than ready to burn it to the ground.And look… that wasn't totally wrong.But after a month of blank space, nature walks, long lazy beach days, and doing random little things simply because they felt good (a concept!)… my relationship to the year softened.Not because it was “easy” or “beautiful” -  it wasn't.But because I can finally see what it actually did to me. What it cracked open. What it initiated me into. And what I'm absolutely not taking with me into 2026.This episode is a very vulnerable and off-the-cuff reflection on what last year really held behind the scenes.The shadow stuff. The identity stuff. The nervous system stuff.The “I don't even recognise who tf I am any more” kinda stuff.And I'm sharing the first part of what I'm carrying into 2026… not in a goals/resolutions way- at ALL -  more like guiding lights. Like anchors. Like devotion.Because if there's one thing I KNOW this year is asking from me it's more unfiltered truth, so let's buckle up and dive in.In part 1 of this 2 part episode series I'm sharing: ✨ Why 2025 felt like a full-blown identity death (and why I'm weirdly grateful now) ✨ What changed after a month of silence + space ✨ The difference between forcing your life vs letting life move through you ✨ Why I'm not doing goals / a word of the year / a 47-step vision board plan in 2026 ✨ The first thing I'm prioritising this year ✨ Why “capacity” is the real reason you receive more (or don't) ✨ How to meet a new year differently,  without pressure, pretending or abandoning yourselfIf 2025 cracked you open too… if you've felt tender, disillusioned, confused, reborn… or like the old version of you just doesn't fit anymore…I hope this is the medicine your soul needs today.Let's Connect

Part 2 of Lo and Haley Fitzgerald's 2026 life audit continues with more honesty, more laughter, and even deeper reflection. What begins as a series of shared small wins quickly turns into a conversation filled with humor, vulnerability, and the kind of real moments that only happen between close friends.Between bursts of laughter and unexpected tangents — including a moment where Lo questions his own sexuality — the two open up about confidence, self-worth, and the complicated relationship we have with how we see ourselves versus how others see us. They celebrate the wins that may seem small on the surface but feel massive internally, while also acknowledging the insecurities and doubts that still show up along the way.This episode is equal parts heart, soul, and humor. It's honest without being heavy, reflective without being preachy, and deeply relatable. Whether you're in a season of growth, uncertainty, or quiet progress, this conversation offers perspective, connection, and a reminder that self-discovery doesn't have to be perfect to be meaningful.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Support Without Solving: Stop Carrying It All as a Leader   Serial fixers often experience leadership burnout which quietly shows up as emotional over-responsibility, exhaustion, and feeling like everything depends on you. You care deeply about your people. You want to be supportive, responsive, and present. But somewhere along the way, that helpfulness starts to feel heavy.   Being helpful shouldn't drain you.You weren't meant to carry everything. And pretending you can could be what's breaking you.   In this episode of Impact With Ease, Blake Schofield sits down with psychotherapist and corporate mental wellness expert Leah Marone to explore why so many leaders feel responsible for everything. You'll learn how to lead in a way that supports others without carrying it all yourself.   Episode Highlights   Why Leaders End Up Carrying Everything [06:34] - How empathy and competence turn into over-responsibility [09:20] - The unspoken pressure leaders feel to "hold it all together" [11:31] - Why this pattern is so common in high-performing leaders The Hidden Cost of Being the Helper [13:56] - How solving for others actually increases exhaustion [16:20] - Why teams become dependent instead of empowered [17:26] - The emotional labor leaders rarely name out loud Support Without Solving: What Changes [18:58] - The difference between being supportive and being responsible [20:22] - How validation builds trust without taking ownership [22:20] - What leaders can do instead of fixing Helping Teams Build Confidence and Ownership [27:04] - Why discomfort is part of growth for teams [28:04] - How leaders unintentionally block development [31:44] - Simple shifts that create capability instead of dependence Leading with Boundaries That Actually Work [34:38] - Internal boundaries that reduce emotional load [37:10] - How to stay caring without carrying everything [42:27] - Why presence matters more than perfect answers The Power of Micro-Resets [48:48] - Using daily transitions as opportunities to release stress [47:28] - How small shifts compound into significant change [51:28] - Building the muscle of being present without being perfect   Powerful Quotes "Support doesn't mean solving. It means creating space for someone to build their own confidence." – Leah Marone "It's the thing that helped you feel successful and loved and a sense of belonging. And then it is the thing that becomes cycles of burnout, overwhelm, over-responsibility, worrying about everyone else's feelings while dishonoring your own." – Blake Schofield "People have to have our ownership, we have to hear ourselves, it has to get pocketed away internally for us to be able then to activate." – Leah Marone "You cannot receive when your hands are full. Life is always going to give you something that's unexpected. And when you are so busy and so full that you don't have space for that, then it makes it really hard to manage your emotions, to help deal with and manage other people's emotions, to be present to the greater opportunities." – Blake Schofield   Resources Mentioned Drained at the end of the day & want more presence in your life?

Different responsibilities. The same emotional weight. In this episode of 40 Years to Freedom, Jennifer and Brittany sit down for an honest, unfiltered conversation about what it really means to carry everything — especially when life doesn't slow down for the holidays or the turning of a new year. This episode is for the caregivers, the single parents, the advocates, the providers, the leaders — and the exhausted humans holding more than they ever thought they could.

Human trafficking investigations rarely look like abduction stories, and the biggest failures often start with a single mistake: mislabeling the victim. In this Hall of Fame Series installment of Zone 7, Sheryl McCollum is joined by Maurice Edwards, a 2023 National Law Enforcement Officer Hall of Fame inductee. Together, they clarify what trafficking looks like in the United States, explain why prosecutors and victim advocates belong in the earliest stages of an investigation, and challenge the language and assumptions that can derail a case. Sheryl and Maurice emphasize a victim-first standard: when a child is being bought and sold, the work begins with protection and recovery. Highlights: • (0:00) Sheryl McCollum introduces Maurice Edwards and his career in missing-child and child sex trafficking investigations • (2:15) Maurice’s current role supporting child sex trafficking investigations at the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children • (3:45) What drew Maurice to trafficking work through missing-child cases and pattern recognition • (6:45) The first trafficking case, first convictions, and the task force model that followed • (9:00) Why prosecutors must be embedded early to build cases that survive court • (11:00) Legal precision at the scene, and why Sheryl insists a teamwork mindset makes cases stronger • (13:45) Misconceptions that derail trafficking cases and why language shapes how victims are treated • (18:45) The cases that stay with Maurice: child deaths, coercion, and forced substance abuse tied to exploitation • (21:25) Carrying the work home: Maurice on emotional boundaries and staying steady in child sex-crime investigations • (28:30) Technology’s role in trafficking and the investigative reality of criminals adapting to new tools • (32:15) Practical ways the public can support prevention and a victim-first response • (33:15) The comparison that exposes the double standard in how minors are treated in commercial sex settings • (38:00) Closing reflections on service, humility, and credit not being the goal Guest Bio: Maurice Edwards is a law enforcement leader specializing in child sex-trafficking investigations and missing and endangered child recoveries. He is currently a supervisor with the Child Sex Trafficking Team at the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, supporting agencies with analytical support, operational planning, training, and investigative awareness. He has received multiple professional honors, including the Polaris Star Award, Florida Intelligence Law Enforcement Officer of the Year, the Frederick Douglass Human Trafficking Award, and 2023 induction into the National Law Enforcement Officer Hall of Fame.

Episode #467: “We still believe that engaging is more useful than not engaging,” says Kiat Sittheeamorn , former Thai Deputy Prime Minister and international trade negotiator. In this discussion, Kiat draws on decades of experience in engineering, business, and international diplomacy to reflect on the tough moral and practical choices facing Southeast Asia today. Kiat's approach to public service was shaped by hardship, self-reliance, and a code rooted in early struggle. From power plant engineer to director of the Board of Trade, to an “accidental” entry into politics at the height of Thailand's 1997 economic crisis, he moved quickly into three terms as Member of Parliament and one as Deputy Prime Minister. Carrying technical expertise into public life, Kiat saw integrity as the only defense against the temptations and the “confusion” of power. In Parliament, he explains how he fought corruption, intimidation and bribery, and helped force the repayment of billions in ill-gotten gains. Internationally, Kiat rejects “market fundamentalism,” insisting that global progress requires fairness alongside growth. For this reason, he prefers the term “free and fair trade” than “free trade” alone. Kiat views Southeast Asian economic integration as essential, but laments that Thailand's “bad politics”—corruption, disunity, and passive excuses—have held the country back. His perspective on Myanmar is equally blunt. Thailand has borne refugee burdens faithfully, he says, while Western partners fail to deliver on their promises. On the value of sanctions or “megaphone diplomacy,” Kiat argues that quiet engagement—pragmatic, persistent, and rooted in genuine empathy—offers a better path forward, even when dealing with deeply flawed elections and authoritarian regimes.

Joy grows when we choose each other. We continue our series, "An Invitation to Joy," by exploring Philippians 1, where Paul models a different kind of leadership and a deeper kind of community.From the very first lines, grace and peace reset the heart. Paul writes with gratitude, not grievance, proving joy isn't the absence of hardship but the presence of a different focus. This message seeks to reframe church as a team on mission—people who complete one another rather than compete. The shift is practical: celebrate others and watch how resentment gives way to intercession and honor.Paul's confidence anchors it all: the God who began a good work will carry it to completion. Even in chains, he leans outward, reminding us that pain doesn't require isolation. Carrying each other means getting close enough to lift, listen, and stay. Support the showMade a decision to follow Jesus? We want to know about it!

Hey Heal Squad! If you've ever checked all the boxes of “success” but still felt unsettled on the inside, you need to hear this. On this Throwback Thursday, Maria sits down with Lewis Howes, 3x New York Times bestselling author and host of The School of Greatness, for a conversation about emotional healing, trauma, and what greatness really means. Lewis opens up about the childhood experiences, unresolved pain, and emotional wounds that followed him into adulthood, even as his career, finances, and public success continued to grow…They even unpack why achievement alone can't heal inner pain, how emotional wounds get stored in the body, and the moment Lewis realized he had to stop running from his past and finally face it. He shares the tools that helped him begin healing, and how he learned a specific process completely reshaped his relationships, sense of peace, and definition of success. If you're on a healing journey, navigating emotional triggers, or questioning why “doing everything right” still doesn't feel fulfilling, this episode is a reminder that true greatness starts from within!

Hey Winner, If you've been feeling tired, scattered, or frustrated with your progress, let me remind you of something right up front: You are not behind. In this episode, we're talking about one of the most common—and most overlooked—reasons faith-driven people struggle with consistency: they're carrying too much. Not too little motivation. Not too little discipline. Too much weight. You'll hear why overload quietly fuels the start–stop cycle, how carrying unnecessary commitments drains your clarity and energy, and why simplifying isn't giving up. It's an act of trust. This conversation is especially important as you head into a new season, because consistency isn't built by doing more. It's built by doing what matters most... sustainably. And if you're ready to stop carrying everything alone and start moving forward with peace and focus, I'd love to invite you to my free live workshop: 3 Secrets to Breaking the Start–Stop Cycle for Good It's happening:

Ep. 177In this episode of The Zen Effect Show…We sit inside a deeply human story of heartbreak, choice, and spiritual reclamation. This is a conversation about what happens when a woman decides not to let her past define her and instead writes a new one from the heart.Raised in an environment that required survival before softness, Tamala Baldwin found herself broken open by heartbreak. But instead of staying stuck in the story she was handed, she picked up the pen and rewired her inner world through long-form writing, visualization, and intentional imagination.What began as personal healing became a hero's journey. What healed her heart became a nonprofit. And what rewrote her story is now helping adults, children in foster care, and countless others cultivate inner harmony through storytelling, writing, and creative expression.This episode is a reminder: Your story is not finished and you hold the pen.How heartbreak became the doorway to her hero's journeyThe internal clearing required to heal from the environment you were raised inHow long-form writing reprogrammed her heart, mind, and nervous systemThe heart–mind relationship explained in a grounded, accessible wayHow  visualization + long form writing is a powerful tool for rewiring your inner narrativeHow one aligned decision can ripple into collective healingTurning personal healing into purpose through the Becoming Love ProjectHow storytelling can help you experience “heaven within” even after pain. So many of us are walking around with chapters we never chose. Carrying heartbreak, trauma, and inherited survival patterns like they're permanent truths.Zen's Closing Note: This conversation speaks to the quiet power of choice.In Black communities, especially, healing is often postponed in favor of endurance. But this episode disrupts that pattern. It honors softness as strength. Creativity as medicine. Storytelling as liberation.It shows what's possible when healing the inner world becomes the foundation for changing the outer one  when a single heart healed creates a space for many more to do the same.This is for anyone who has experienced loss, disappointment, or emotional rupture and knows there has to be more than surviving the aftermath.Healing doesn't always announce itself loudly. Sometimes it whispers: “Rewrite this.”You don't need permission to rewrite your story and rewire your inner self You don't need to fully understand the how. You just need the courage to choose again from the heart.Your story is alive. Your heart is intelligent. And one aligned decision can shift generations.Keep choosing love. Keep writing to yourself home to your power. This Episode is Sponsored by: Antlanta Eats Thank You Antlanta Eats for Sponsoring this episode and Supporting culture, community, and connection Follow⁠ and connect with @antlantaeats ⁠Connect with TamalaNon- Profit: ⁠The Becoming Love Project⁠ Film & TV production company: Soul Kisses ProductionsHer Instagram: @tamalabaldwinClick here⁠⁠ ⁠For all things mentioned—and all things Zen Effect ⁠⁠⁠ and tune into my LIVE Broadcast on⁠⁠ ⁠WBNC⁠⁠⁠ Tuesdays at 6pm EST.

OVERVIEW: As we step into a brand-new year, I wanted to pause and do something a little different. In this solo episode, I'm reflecting on 2025 — the highs, the lows, the lessons, and the moments that stretched me both personally and professionally. I'm sharing what worked, what challenged me, and how those experiences shaped the clarity I'm stepping into for 2026. I also take time to revisit the mission behind Metabolic Fix, why this work matters, who I'm here to serve, and what I believe sustainable health, fat loss, and longevity truly require (especially for women 35+ who are done with extremes). This episode is equal parts reflection and intention-setting. I walk you through a simple but powerful goal-setting exercise you can do alongside me, not rooted in pressure or perfection, but in alignment, strategy, and self-respect. If you've ever felt: Proud of how far you've come, but unsure about what's next Burned out by doing “all the right things” with little return Ready for a more intentional, sustainable approach to your health and life …this episode is for you. In this episode, we cover: A real reflection on my highs and lows from 2025 The evolution of Metabolic Fix and why the mission matters more than ever What I've learned after nearly two decades in this industry How to think differently about goals (especially in midlife) A guided goal-setting exercise you can use for 2026 Ways you can work with me if you're ready for personalized support My hope is that this episode leaves you feeling grounded, motivated, and clear — not rushed into change, but confident in your next steps.

Solo Podsnack: Host, Shanta Generally;The New Year is often treated like a reset button—but what if it's actually a threshold? In this episode, Crossing the Threshold: What You're Carrying Into 2026 (and What You're Meant to Set Down), we explore a gentler, more conscious way of entering the New Year—one rooted in discernment, awareness, and energetic maturity rather than pressure or resolutions. I share a personal reflection on how decluttering, cleaning with intention, and releasing what no longer served me became a powerful practice of preparation—one that couldn't be rushed and didn't need perfection. We also talk about:Why the New Year doesn't require a complete reinventionThe spiritual significance of thresholds and conscious crossingsSetting intentions instead of resolutionsCord cutting as a mindful practice of completion and releaseHow mindfulness supports real, everyday life—not just quiet momentsIf you're standing at the doorway of a new season, this episode invites you to pause, reflect, and cross with intention.  Featured Resource:Mindfulness: They Didn't Explain It Like This When We Were KidsBook 4 in the J.A.M.M.

In this episode, I'm joined by my dear friend Andrea Arledge for a rich, expansive conversation on the energetic bridge we're crossing as we move from 2025 into 2026.Andrea is a numerology expert, host of the Soulful Success Podcast, creator of the Business Alchemy Lab, and a Master-trained Shadow Guide—and together we explore what it means to live inside a powerful collective transition.We unpack the deep, continual shedding of the Year of the Snake—a Numerology 9 year—and how this energy has been asking us to release, complete, and let go at levels that may have felt relentless but necessary. This is a time of clearing karma, identities, timelines, and versions of ourselves that can no longer come forward with us.From there, we look ahead to what's emerging with the Year of the Fire Horse—a 1 (or 10) year in numerology—an initiation into bold beginnings, momentum, courage, and creation. This next chapter isn't about forcing or hustling forward, but about rising from truth, aligned power, and embodied clarity.This episode is both grounding and activating, offering practical ways to support yourself as you stand in the in-between—no longer who you were, not yet fully who you're becoming.Connect with Andrea at www.andreaarledge.com and follow her on IG @andrea.inneralchemy.CONNECT with Lisa & get IVF COACHING SUPPORT Download IVF Mindset Shift Guide https://ivfmanifestingamiracle.myflodesk.com BOOK a complimentary DISCOVERY CALL BOOK: ‘HOLD ON, BABY!

High performance burnout often hides a deeper belief: “It's all on me.” In this faith-integrated episode, Julie explores why leadership feels heavy, how self-reliance forms, and what changes when identity rests in divine authorship instead of effort.Many high-capacity humans don't burn out because they lack boundaries, discipline, or emotional intelligence. They burn out because leadership slowly becomes self-reliance carried in the body, mind, and spirit.In this Sunday episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly brings the week full circle through Vertical Alignment — a spacious, invitational integration of faith, psychology, and identity truth.This conversation moves beneath burnout recovery and decision fatigue to the quieter belief that often fuels them both: “If I don't carry this, it won't get carried.” Over time, responsibility shifts from stewardship into isolation. Roles fuse with identity. Strength turns into solitude.Drawing from Scripture and lived experience, Julie reframes leadership not as solitary striving, but as shared authorship with the Sovereign. Biblical figures like Moses, David, and Jesus are explored not as self-made heroes, but as leaders who returned again and again to communion, rest, and trust.Julie also reflects on how modern leadership culture often reinforces identity drift and spiritual exhaustion, and why this work is not about doing less — but about carrying differently.Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR) is positioned clearly as the differentiator here: not another mindset tactic or productivity strategy, but the root-level recalibration that makes every other tool effective. When identity is anchored vertically, leadership no longer requires sacrifice at the level of the self.This episode offers relief, permission, and re-orientation for anyone who feels successful on paper — yet quietly overburdened inside.Today's Micro RecalibrationYou don't need to write this down — it's always waiting for you in the show notes.Pause and gently ask:What am I carrying right now that was never meant to be carried alone?What would it sound like to offer this back — honestly, without spiritual performance?Team extension: Where might your team be mirroring your self-reliance — and what permission would be created if leadership modeled trust instead?Explore Identity-Level Recalibration→ Join the next Friday Recalibration Live experience → Take your listening deeper!

#192 - What I'm Carrying Into the New Year — And What I'm Finally Leaving Behind New Year's Eve has a funny way of making us feel like we should reinvent ourselves by midnight. New rules. New goals. New personality. Preferably someone who loves green juice and wakes up excited at 5 a.m. This episode is… not that. Instead, this is a pause. A breath. A moment to stand in the quiet space between what's been and what's coming—and ask a better question than “Who should I be next year?” In this reflective solo episode, I share what this past year taught me the long way around: that growth isn't about striving harder, fixing more, or optimizing your way into worthiness. The most meaningful shifts often come from removing pressure, listening to your nervous system, and letting go of identities that no longer fit. We talk about discernment over urgency, why discomfort isn't a problem to solve, how progress actually works (hint: it's not linear), and what it looks like to move into a new year lighter—not because you did more, but because you carried less. No resolutions. No hustle. No performative “new you.” Just honesty, integration, and intentions that actually make room for real life. If you've felt tired of pushing, quietly proud of how much you've grown, or like you're standing on the edge of something new—but slower and steadier than before—this episode is for you. In This Episode, We Explore: Why striving, optimizing, and “doing more” often block real healing The difference between urgency and discernment—and why it matters How listening to your nervous system builds real trust with yourself What to keep, what to release, and what doesn't need to come with you Why intentions work better than resolutions (and how to choose yours) How progress actually unfolds—even when it feels messy or invisible Time Stamps 00:00 – Why this episode isn't about goals, resolutions, or reinvention 02:00 – The quiet space between years—and why it matters 04:00 – When striving stops working (and what actually does) 06:30 – Discernment vs. urgency: learning to pause instead of react 10:00 – What I'm intentionally carrying into the new year 12:00 – What I'm finally leaving behind (and why discomfort isn't failure) 15:00 – Intentions over resolutions—and how to choose yours 18:00 – Moving forward lighter, calmer, and more grounded Where to Find Me You can connect with me, explore programs, and see what I'm up to outside the podcast here: Website: https://lisasmithwellness.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/prettywell_podcast

This episode is raw in a way I don't usually get. No expert interview. No structured lesson. Just me sharing the hardest year of my life and the moment I realized I was standing at a fork in the road. Losing myself completely or choosing to rebuild into the woman and mother I want to be. I talk honestly about postpartum hormones, losing routines, grieving parts of my old life, and the quiet identity shift that no one really prepares you for when motherhood collides with ambition, business, and real life.I take you behind the scenes of what this year actually looked like and the realizations that finally stopped the spiral. We talk about the pressure to do it all, why feeling lost doesn't mean you failed, and how I'm redefining priorities without abandoning myself in the process. I also share the non-negotiables I'm committing to as I move into this next season and why rebuilding doesn't have to be extreme to be meaningful.By the end of this episode, I hope you feel less alone in the messy middle and a little more grounded if this year shook your sense of identity. If this year left you feeling lost, stretched thin, or quietly questioning who you are now, this episode is for you.0:19 – What It Feels Like to Lose (and Rebuild) Your Identity After Baby12:09 – How Setting Non-Negotiables Helped Me Reclaim Control14:51 – Why Therapy, Routine, and Flexible Nutrition Became Essential Tools22:22 – How Rebuilding Gently, Not Perfectly, Is My Goal for the Year AheadOther Episodes You'll Love:Episode 132: The #1 Thing No Mom Warned Me About Weaning

Do you take the time, even a few moments, to look back at the year that is coming to a close? We did. Good friends Amy DeFehr, Mary Ann Mariani and I took some inventory from this year - like our favorite memories (time with family, travel, a big move), biggest challenges (a child's anxiety, marital speed bumps, a desire to teach) and something we tried for the first time (going to a conference alone, giving a eulogy, going on a girls trip). Reflecting is a great way to learn and to keep growing forward. Next we thought about the upcoming year - areas that need more focus, things we want to do, and our word for the year. It was an empowering way to kick off the new year envisioning what we want, the work we want to do, and the people we want to continue to grow into being. Join our conversation for the inspiration needed to reflect, and head into the new year with encouragement and intention.Amy has been on UY in Walking Off a Cliff;IKnow Because I Know; and Reflections on 2024, Hopes for 2025.Find May Ann in A Passionate Artist of Story; I Was Mad at Myself;I Write but I don't Love to Write; and Reflections on 2024, Hopes for 2025.Thanks for being part of the UY conversation.The Unabashed You website has a page for each guest of photos, quotes and a blog with embedded audio at unabashedyou.com.
