Au Cameroun, la région de l'Extrême-Nord fait face à une crise humanitaire persistante marquée par les conflits armés liés à Boko Haram, des épidémies de choléra et de rougeole, et les conséquences du changement climatique. Des milliers de déplacés internes et de réfugiés du Nigéria et Tchad voisins exercent une pression intense sur des structures de sanitaires déjà fragiles, alors que la situation sécuritaire entrave l'accès aux soins. Aujourd'hui, près de 3 millions de personnes souffrent d'insécurité alimentaire sévère, selon OCHA. Les enfants en sont les premières victimes : au premier trimestre de cette année, 200 000 enfants ont été diagnostiqués de malnutrition et dans l'Extrême-Nord.  [Reportage long format à l'occasion de la Journée mondiale contre la faim] Pour lutter contre la mortalité infantile, l'ONG humanitaire médicale internationale ALIMA soutient des structures locales du département du Mayo-Tsanaga qui assurent aux populations isolées et vulnérables un accès gratuit aux soins : prise en charge médicale et thérapeutique des enfants malnutris à l'hôpital régional annexe de Mokolo et dans six centres de santé périphériques. Mais aussi stratégie communautaire pour dépister et prévenir la malnutrition et former les familles à l'éducation nutritionnelle. Dès qu'un enfant est diagnostiqué pour malnutrition au niveau d'un des centres de santé, il entre dans un programme de 42 jours, c'est-à-dire qu'il est soigné en communauté et s'il présente des complications, il est immédiatement référé à l'hôpital régional annexe de Mokolo.  2 600 admissions depuis 2024 Déshydratation, hypoglycémie, détresse respiratoire, fièvre, anémie, hypothermie, convulsions, épuisement... Les conséquences de la malnutrition peuvent être fatales pour les enfants. Pour sauver les tout-petits malnutris, le centre nutritionnel thérapeutique interne de l'hôpital de Mokolo est le seul fonctionnel dans tout le département. Depuis 2024, il a enregistré 2 600 admissions. Deux volets de prise en charge : d'abord médicamenteuse, pour lever les complications, et nutritionnelle, pour remédier aux défaillances en nutriments et vitamines liées à l'état instable des enfants malades. Aujourd'hui, l'hôpital de Mokolo enregistre un taux de guérison de 93%. La guérison de ces enfants passe aussi par des activités de stimulation physique et cognitive. La psychostimulation est essentielle dans la prise en charge de la malnutrition car lorsqu'un enfant est malnutri, il est amorphe, fatigué, éteint, son cerveau est ralenti. Si ce volet cognitif et psychique n'est pas pris en compte, cela va retarder l'amélioration de son état clinique, son développement psychomoteur et sa physiologie future. Les activités d'éveil vont donc faciliter sa guérison. Un suivi en communauté À la sortie de l'hôpital, les enfants sont suivis dans les centres de santé en communauté : consultations d'évolution, sensibilisations aux bonnes pratiques nutritionnelles et à l'hygiène, visites à domicile des relais communautaires, démonstrations culinaires. Les communautés sont des leviers indispensables à la santé infantile.  À Mokolo, comme dans tant d'autres communautés, chaque enfant sauvé est une victoire collective. Une victoire rendue possible par le dévouement des soignants, l'engagement des communautés et le soutien des agences humanitaires. Des témoignages qui rappellent combien l'accès aux soins reste un enjeu central dans une région où les distances, l'insécurité et la baisse des financements humanitaires compliquent les parcours de santé.   ► Un reportage long format de Raphaëlle Constant réalisé par Victor Uhl, en partenariat avec l'ONG Alima (Alliance for International Medical Action), à l'occasion de la Journée mondiale contre la faim.  Programmation musicale :  ► Blick Bassy – Donalina

You love your partner.So why does a screen feel more exciting than real life?Most people assume it's a relationship problem.But what if it's a brain problem?The brain adapts to what it experiences most.Scrolling. Short videos.Pornography.  Constant novelty.Over time, stimulation becomes the reward.And real-life connections can start feeling less exciting than they used to.Because your brain learned to chase novelty instead of connection. Your brain has been hijacked.Why Does Pornography Lower Relationship Satisfaction? The Neuroscience Explained

For families relying on transfusions, donated blood can mean the difference between life and death. For others, the decision to donate is shaped by culture, experience and how well they understand the system. Lifeblood is urging more Australians to donate blood, warning the need is constant and cannot be met without regular donors. But as Australia's population becomes more diverse, experts say the country's blood supply also needs to reflect that change, with some patients needing blood that is more closely matched to their background.

We have made anxiety a bad term. But anxiety is a normal response of the body to a worry or concern or perceived threat. Your anxiety in and of itself isn't doing anything wrong. We just seem to be responding inappropriately. Britt Frank is a licensed neuropsychotherapist and trauma expert who is trained in IFS (Internal Family Systems) and SE (Somatic Experiencing). She is a speaker and an award-winning adjunct instructor at the University of Kansas where she's taught classes on ethics, addiction, and clinical social work. She has a book, The Science of Stuck: Breaking Through Inertia To Find Your Path Forward. I brought her to us to discuss her research on anxiety and body based feeling vs thought based therapy. Britt ultimately points to anxiety as a cue from your body. Think of it as a dashboard light in your car saying something is not quite right. Like the “check engine” light. But instead of giving the light attention, our culture has primarily normalized anxiety, as it has many pathologies, and decided to just live with the check engine light on. I think what you will hear is some paradigm shifting information that will change how you view your anxiety and get you paying attention to your body's responses in order to better manage your mental state.

Émission Questions de femmes - Comme chaque vendredi, un médecin spécialisé répond aux questions des auditrices de Priorité Santé. Cette semaine, nous parlons des séparations difficiles. En amour, en famille ou encore dans la sphère amicale, les séparations peuvent s'avérer douloureuses. Quelles sont les séparations qui sont nécessaires ? Comment y faire face ?  Dans le couple, avec un ami ou bien avec un membre de la famille : on peut être à l'origine d'une rupture, mais cela n'empêche pas qu'elle puisse être douloureuse. Il arrive aussi qu'on la subisse sans trop comprendre pourquoi. Certaines ruptures peuvent nous surprendre, du jour au lendemain ou alors la relation s'étiole progressivement et la fin devient inexorable. Quel que soit le cas de figure, comment éviter que la souffrance de l'éloignement soit trop importante ? Comment bien vivre ces séparations ? Et que viennent-elles finalement remettre en question chez nous, dans notre identité, notre rapport aux autres ?   Avec : Nawal Uariachi, psychologue clinicienne et psychothérapeute pour enfants, adolescents et adultes à Dakar.

Many times frustration is caused by exhaustion or overstimulation. Today, we look at real ways to reduce your distractions, find a calmer mind, and be stronger in training. We are under a continual assault of information and, at some point, we have to ask: do we have enough information yet? So much of training and racing is being in the moment and at one with yourself, but how do we get there? We'll talk about some good ways to find your true self, appreciate who you are and respect your journey. Training should be a vehicle to build your energy, not take it away. It should be hard, but not miserable. Topics: Busy racing weekend! Cruise to clear the mind Reducing distractions Energizing yourself Getting out of the haze Reducing stimulation takes time Let your body settle into the race Constant loop of stress Mike just started swimming again When we're not rooted in reality The 48 Hour race decision Be mindful Living off the grid AI Data Centers When do we have enough information?

Want to work with me? Go here: https://fos.now/xNUPvDThere are two kinds of businesses, and you can feel the difference the moment you walk into either one.A drained business runs on your grit. Constant fires. Endless meetings. 20+ things on your plate. The second you slow down, everything slows with you.A magnetic business pays you to be you. Small, mighty team. Real leaders running real outcomes. Systems holding the operation. You can leave for a month and come back to something stronger than you left.In this video, I break down what actually separates the two, the founder's scorecard, core velocity meetings, the architect role, and the small set of decisions that turn a draining company into one that magnetizes customers, team, and time.Want to LEARN proven systems to grow your personal brand?

Lucinda welcomes career and leadership coach Laura Ogilvie-Jones to explore the rising corporate phenomenon of "comparativitis" where high-performing, senior professionals secretly lose confidence due to the pressures of social media, rapid technological change, and AI.  Laura shares her insightful, values-driven coaching methods such as the North Arrow and Buzz Sheets to reveal how HR professionals can spot warning signs of fading confidence and foster environments of vulnerability to help leaders rebuild their self-assurance. KEY TAKEAWAYS High performers often project a polished professional image externally while secretly battling severe imposter syndrome and eroding confidence underneath. Constant bombardment from social media platforms like LinkedIn and Instagram pressures professionals to compare themselves to others, leading to self-doubt and second-guessing. True, sustainable leadership confidence is built not by maintaining a flawless, numeric-driven facade, but by embracing emotional intelligence, vulnerability, and self-awareness. HR can identify leaders struggling with confidence by watching for noticeable behaviour changes, such as withdrawal from opportunities, overthinking, or uncharacteristic defensiveness. BEST MOMENTS "They may well appear very confident externally... but actually underneath they might be struggling, and they might be losing confidence and having wobbles, having doubts, but they don't feel able to verbalise that." "The word I often use with my clients to talk about is 'comparativitis'. We are absolutely bombarded with images, news, communication about other people and what they're doing and how amazing they are." "When I'm working with someone one-to-one, it's the first time they've ever actually been honest, vulnerable, and authentic about what is actually going on and how they're actually feeling." "If you don't have that self-awareness, you're just, you know, blissfully carrying on."

You never fit in — and you're tired of pretending. The Impulsive Thinker® and Cassandra Morari rip into what really changes, and what doesn't, after an ADHD diagnosis. No sugarcoating. Just truth.   In This Episode: What actually shifts for ADHD Entrepreneurs after diagnosis The difference between explaining your needs and hiding behind labels Building real systems versus fake "fitting in"   What You'll Take Away: ADHD is not the problem — society's measuring stick is Constant communication isn't just customer service, it's survival Emotional blowups come from old triggers, not your wiring Being direct isn't rude, it's efficient (and saves your business) Fit in by owning how your brain really works — not by advertising your label   ABOUT THIS EPISODE This episode is about what changes after an ADHD diagnosis — and what doesn't. The Impulsive Thinker® and Cassandra Morari take apart the diagnosis moment, the real emotional aftermath, and the hard-won systems that actually work for ADHD Entrepreneurs. You'll hear raw conversations about emotional regulation, ditching fake labels, setting up processes that are honest for how your brain functions, and why "fitting in" is the wrong goal. The Impulsive Thinker® spells out how self-awareness, clear communication, and refusing to waste time on acceptance are edge strategies for neurodiverse entrepreneurs. If you're tired of being told to work harder or fit a broken mold — you need to press play.   Email me about it at andre@theimpulsivethinker.com. Remember — ADHD failure is measured on society's measuring stick. Not yours. Your brain runs on interest, not importance. That's not a flaw. That's a different operating system. ADHD is not a deficit. It's a difference.   GUEST BIOCassandra Morari is an ADHD brain and COO at The Rack, a Saskatchewan family ag-business. She knows small town. She knows family business. And she's been masking her brain for years. www.therackonline.com  

The Learning Leader Show with Ryan Hawk www.LearningLeader.com New Book - The Price of Becoming www.LearningLeader.com/Becoming Ron Friedman is a psychologist and researcher who has spent his career studying what separates great teams from average ones. His research, which has surveyed thousands of professionals across dozens of industries, became the second most-read article in Harvard Business Review history. He is the author of three books, including his latest, Superteams: The Science and Secrets of High-Performing Teams. This is brought to you by Insight Global. If you need to hire one person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world has the hustle and grit to deliver. Key Learnings Ron's dad threw himself into impossible challenges and taught his family the dignity of hard work. A physician in Israel, he didn't want his son in the army, so he picked up the phone and started dialing hospitals in New York City until he landed a job at NYU. He pulled his family out of a country he knew, didn't speak the language fluently, and succeeded anyway. Ron dedicated Super Teams to him. He recently passed away. Only 8% of teams qualify as super teams. Ron's team polled thousands of workers and asked two questions: How effective is your team at meeting its goals? And how does it compare to others in your industry? Super teams hit the perfect score. The only office amenity that statistically drives performance: quiet space for focused work. Not the gym. Not the ping-pong table. Most offices are an attentional war zone. That's why people prefer working from home. How a team works matters more than where a team works. Remote, hybrid, in-office. The data shows none of those predict performance. Intention does. Don't make meetings the default. Make them the last resort. Super teams are 50% better at avoiding unnecessary meetings and 54% less likely to schedule recurring ones. Recurring meetings are insidious. Once they're on the calendar, removing one feels like breaking up with someone. So they just live there forever. Ron's rule: no decision, no meeting. Have a question? Pick up the phone. Have an update? Record a video or send an email. Don't pull people away from their work. The average worker loses 18 hours a week to meetings. And another 11 hours to messages. That's three-quarters of the week gone before they've achieved a single task. Meeting-free days cut stress in half and increase productivity by 71%. People go home feeling satisfied because they were able to actually do the work. Three pillars of super teams: They get more done by managing time, energy, and attention. They don't just collaborate. They actively make each other better. They're never satisfied. They're constantly building skills and improving. Recovery isn't passive. Scrolling Instagram or binging Netflix helps you wind down, but it doesn't restore your energy. Mastery experiences do. Learn a new song. Try pickleball. Cook a new recipe. When leaders recover, their teams perform better. A well-rested leader shows up in a positive mood. That mood lifts the team. Investing in your own recovery isn't selfish. It moves your team forward. The best leaders support their people's side hustles. Not because they assign them, but because their people feel they have permission to grow outside the job. That's a signal you care about the person, not just the output. Three factors predict trust in a leader: competence, caring, consistency. Any one of them breaks down and trust breaks down. "How was your weekend?" is lame. Be specific. Ask about the kid's soccer game by name. Specificity proves you actually thought about the person. People need to be appreciated for who they are, not just what they do. That's how they feel cared for. The top three characteristics of toxic teammates: unreliable, bad attitude, and arrogant. The top three characteristics of the best teammates: knowledgeable, dependable, and a good communicator. Notice what's not on the list. Funny. Good listener. Caring. Those are nice-to-haves. They don't move the team forward. The best teammates make excellence the norm. On super teams, 94% say their teammates motivate them to do their best work. On super teams, 82% say they feel worse about letting down their teammates than their manager. When people know their teammates are counting on them, they work harder. Constant togetherness is not collaboration. The Succession writers' room cycled between solo writing and group critique. Real collaboration protects focus time first. Brainwriting beats brainstorming. Have people generate ideas alone first, then bring them to the room. You get higher quantity and higher quality ideas. 97% of feedback fails to lift performance. Over a third actively makes it worse. What does the 3% do differently? Focus on one thing at a time. Future-oriented, not past-oriented. Top performers want to know what they did wrong. Confidence allows them to absorb criticism and correct it. Most people aren't there. Gauge the feedback to the person. Great football coaches give feedback differently to the quarterback than the lineman. Know your people. Adjust your approach. Comedians get better at the Comedy Cellar because of what happens next door. Seinfeld, Chappelle, and Schumer gather at the Lemon Tree Cafe after sets to critique each other. Ryan calls it the "see it, say it" mentality, an ethos his teammate Geron Stokes brings every day. Great compliment, say it. Falling short of the standard, say it. The best teammates care enough to tell you how you can improve. Ron's champagne moment a year from now: his 19-year-old daughter landing a finance internship she earned on her own. Reflection Questions What's your recurring meeting that should be a breakup conversation? When was the last time you asked a teammate something specific about their life, by name? Or are you defaulting to "how was your weekend?" What's your version of the Comedy Cellar's Lemon Tree Cafe? Who do you go to for the candid feedback that makes you better?

The prosecution built its case on a breakup — Dominic Russo was leaving, Mackenzie Shirilla couldn't handle it, and she drove into a building at nearly a hundred miles per hour. Netflix's The Crash reinforced that framing. But a psychotherapist who has spent three decades in domestic violence and forensic mental health says the relationship between Mackenzie and Dominic was far more complicated than either the trial or the documentary allowed.Constant breakups and reconciliations. Explosive fights. Threats from both sides. An incident on I-71 where the prosecution presented a friend's testimony that Mackenzie threatened to crash the car — while text messages showed Mackenzie told Dominic's mother it was actually Dom who grabbed the wheel. Two completely different accounts of the same violent moment. The defense never challenged the prosecution's version. The jury heard one side.Shavaun Scott examines what these dynamics actually reveal clinically. What happens when two young people are locked in a cycle they can't exit? Why does a breakup feel like an identity collapse for someone with Mackenzie's psychological profile? How do self-harm threats function inside a volatile relationship — and do they indicate premeditated intent or emotional deregulation? The texts were ugly. The threats were real. But what they reveal about the internal psychology is fundamentally different from what the prosecution used them to prove.Scott also takes on the memory claim that has defined the post-conviction conversation. Mackenzie maintains she blacked out. The families say she's lying. An inmate who spent six months with her describes someone unrecognizable from the Netflix portrayal. But dissociative amnesia is a documented clinical phenomenon — and Scott explains that trauma-induced memory loss looks almost exactly like what Mackenzie describes. She examines whether someone can genuinely not distinguish between forgetting and suppressing, what the medical evidence suggests about consciousness at the moment of impact, and a possibility that cuts against everything the public believes about this case — that premeditated murder may not be what happened in that car.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Mackenzie Shirilla says she blacked out and has no memory of the crash that killed two people. The families say she's lying. A fellow inmate says the Mackenzie in the Netflix documentary is an act. The public picked a side before the first episode ended. But Shavaun Scott has spent more than thirty years in trauma work, forensic mental health, and domestic violence — and the clinical answer is more complicated than anyone in this case is willing to hear.Dissociative amnesia is a documented clinical phenomenon. Trauma-induced memory loss looks almost exactly like what Mackenzie describes. Scott examines the claim through a clinical lens — what dissociative amnesia actually presents as, whether someone can genuinely not know the difference between forgetting and not wanting to remember, and what the medical evidence in this case suggests about Mackenzie's consciousness at the moment of impact. She confronts the grief psychology driving the families' certainty and the gap between the documentary Mackenzie and the prison Mackenzie. And she raises a possibility the system may not be equipped to process — that this was never premeditated murder at all.The relationship dynamics make the clinical picture messier. The documentary frames it as one-sided — Mackenzie was toxic, Dominic was trying to leave. Scott says relationships like this are almost never that clean. Constant breakups and reconciliations. Explosive fights on both sides. An I-71 incident where the prosecution says Mackenzie threatened to crash and text messages show Mackenzie told Dom's mother it was actually Dom who grabbed the wheel. Two versions of the same violent moment. The defense never challenged the prosecution's account.Scott examines what the cycle of breakups and threats reveals about Mackenzie's psychology — why a breakup feels like identity collapse for someone with her profile, how self-harm threats function inside a volatile relationship, and whether the evidence points to premeditated calculation or an emotionally deregulated adolescent brain that reached a breaking point nobody saw coming.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Why does it feel like something is off?Your erections aren't as consistent.Pleasure doesn't hit the same.You feel less in control than you used to.Most men blame testosterone, age, or hormones.But the habit affecting all three is often overstimulation.Scrolling. Short videos. Sports betting. Porn.Constant novelty from morning to night.Then real life starts feeling less stimulating than a screen.Now pleasure feels muted. Desire feels different.And erections don't respond the same way.It's because your brain has been hijacked.This One Habit Could Be Affecting Your Erections, Control & Pleasure

Some things don't hurt anymore. They just hold. You've moved on. Said you were fine. You might even believe it. But there's story you keep returning to. A version of yourself you haven't been able to put down. This episode is for anyone who has survived something and is still living inside it. We're talking about the difference between carrying your story as a testimony and dragging it as a weight and what it looks like to finally set it down.Scars to your beautiful Purpose is back. This is where it begins.

We live in a restless world. Constant noise. Constant pressure. Constant hurry.  In a culture searching for peace, resilience, and emotional health, the Psalms give us language for hope, suffering and trust in God.  This summer in Be Still, we'll explore how these ancient songs and prayers can quiet the noise of modern life, steady our souls, and anchor us in the presence and truth of God. 

Fruit of the Root, from June 7, 2026 “We grow in love as we walk with God's Spirit.” Galatians 5 & 1 Corinthians 13 by Michael Lockstampfor (@miklocks)SUMMARYThis sermon teaches that believers grow in love—the loyal, selfless choice to act in others' best interests—as they walk with and surrender to God's Spirit, rather than by adding more rules to their faith. Pastor Michael explains that the “flesh” is the broken, sinful influence of the world, already crucified in Christ, and that Christians are drafted into the Spirit's stronger, victorious battle, where love fulfills the whole law.REFLECTION & DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

À Mokolo, dans l'Extrême-Nord du Cameroun, une radio communautaire sensibilise les populations locales aux questions de santé, d'agriculture et œuvre pour une cohabitation pacifique dans cette région troublée. Au micro de Raphaëlle Constant, l'équipe de la radio Échos des montagnes partage ses multiples défis. Jeudi 4 et vendredi 5 juin, on célébrait en France la Fête de la radio, un événement annuel soutenu par le ministère de la Culture et par l'Arcom, l'autorité de régulation du secteur audiovisuel français. Pour célébrer la radio, sur RFI, "L'atelier des médias" a fait le choix de proposer une plongée dans les réalités d'une radio communautaire comme il en existe des milliers en Afrique. Fondée en 2007, la radio communautaire Échos des montagnes, basée à Mokolo dans l'Extrême-Nord du Cameroun, sert de lien vital pour les populations locales confrontées à l'insécurité et aux crises alimentaires. Cette station diffuse des programmes en douze langues pour sensibiliser les auditeurs aux enjeux de santé, d'agriculture et de cohabitation pacifique entre agriculteurs, éleveurs et déplacés. Malgré des défis techniques majeurs, tels qu'une antenne détruite par les intempéries et une dépendance à l'énergie solaire, l'équipe de bénévoles passionnés maintient une grille d'émissions en misant sur l'interactivité. Elle joue également un rôle crucial dans la lutte contre la désinformation et collabore étroitement avec les autorités camerounaises avant de diffuser des contenus liés aux questions sécuritaires. Aujourd'hui, bien que menacée par un manque de financements institutionnels et des contraintes administratives, la radio demeure une « voix des sans-voix » indispensable au développement social. Ce média de proximité prouve son impact en favorisant l'éducation des filles et en offrant un espace de dialogue essentiel pour la cohésion sociale de la communauté. Avec la cheffe de station Hapsatou Ndjobdi, le chargé de programmes Charles Adama et le producteur René Yahoua.  Portrait d'une radio communautaire au Cameroun: Échos des montagnes, l'âme solidaire du Mayo-Tsanaga, un reportage de Raphaëlle Constant réalisé par Steven Helsly.

For the first time since starting her business in 2012, Kelly went fully off social media: no apps, no posting in real time, no messaging, for two straight weeks while traveling through Italy with her family. This episode is the story of what happened while she was gone, and why it's the clearest proof yet of what breaking founder dependence actually looks like. She also shares the wild backstory of The Miracle Hour book launch: a pivot from audiobook to physical book, a last-minute realization that the sales numbers would anchor the negotiation for The Sacred Art of Selling, and a sprint that sold 4,000+ copies in two months (what typically takes 18), landing the book at #30 on the USA Today list and #10 in nonfiction, and how that momentum set up the traditional publishing deal for The Sacred Art of Selling. She closes on God's timing: six years of wanting this trip, and the deep conviction that it happened exactly when it was meant to (including a highlight moment hearing mass at St. Peter's Basilica).  In this episode: The 2-week, fully-offline test and what the team produced self-led Why a sales system is the heartbeat of every business The Miracle Hour book launch story and the Sacred Art of Selling deal Why founder dependence is fueling an entrepreneur mental health crisis The Italy lessons: presence, simplicity, social connection, less excess Getting intentional about phones, content, and creating from a clear head God's timing, Kairos, and trusting the bigger plan Timestamps: 02:15 — What the team accomplished self-led: sales, revenue, #1 on Substack, brand deals 04:00 — The Miracle Hour book: from audiobook plan to physical book 05:30 — Why the numbers mattered: setting up the Sacred Art of Selling deal 06:45 — 4,000 copies in 2 months, USA Today #30, #10 in nonfiction 08:30 — Gratitude for the "village" that made the launch possible 09:45 — The real prize: watching the team break founder dependence with the Miracle Hour 11:30 — A sales system is the heartbeat of a business (and the entrepreneur mental health crisis) 13:00 — Teaching Miracle Hour sessions in communities every week for the next year 14:30 — Word of the year: presence, and why this trip was different 16:00 — Italy lesson 1: appreciating the little things 17:15 — Italy lesson 2: how social and present the Italians are vs. the US 18:30 — Italy lesson 3: excess vs. simplicity 20:00 — Constant connection, unproductive stress, and the content-phone idea 21:30 — Six years of wanting this trip and the lesson in God's timing / Kairos 23:00 — The Vatican, St. Peter's dome, and mass with Billy and Madison Resources & Mentions Grab your copy of  USA Today best-selling book, The Miracle Hour: Predictable Sales in An Hour A Day: https://a.co/d/02O95ydn  ollow Kelly on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kellyroachofficial/ Follow Kelly on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kelly.roach.520/ Connect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kellyroachint/ Join our next Legacy Leaders Retreat happening August 31st-September 1st in Boca Raton, FL: https://join.thebusinessadvisory.com/legacyexperiencesept Subscribe to Kelly's Substack newsletter: https://kellyroachofficial.substack.com/subscribe

Episode 15: Gratitude during times when Worry feels Constant or Overwhelming In this episode of Paperclips and Periods, Dr. Emily K. Cabrera and Katie Krych talk about gratitude during times when worry feels constant or overwhelming. They explore how anxiety and “what if” thinking can narrow our focus, making it harder to notice what is steady, supportive, and good in our lives. Gratitude is not about ignoring stress, but about gently expanding our awareness so both worry and appreciation can exist together. They share how gratitude does not need to be big or complicated. It can be as simple as noticing small comforts in daily life, like a favorite coffee, a quiet moment in the car, or something practical that makes life easier. The conversation also moves into deeper gratitude for things like family, friendships, meaningful work, and support systems that often get overlooked when stress is high. They reflect on how anxiety can make gratitude harder to access, and how intentionally noticing small positives can help restore balance. The goal is not to remove worry, but to create space for both concern and appreciation. The episode ends with a simple reflection: noticing one small thing and one meaningful thing to be grateful for in the present moment.

Could optimizing your testosterone levels as a woman be the missing piece to improving your sleep, mood, and libido? In this episode, I'm joined by OB-GYN, integrative women's health expert, and author Dr. Suzanne Gilberg Lenz for a powerful conversation about botanicals, hormones, and the menopause symptoms women should stop ignoring. We talk about how herbs like ashwagandha, rhodiola, black cohosh, Siberian rhubarb, saffron, and passion flower may support sleep, mood, hot flashes, blood sugar, and nervous system regulation. Most importantly, we dig into why symptoms like severe hot flashes, night sweats, and sexual dysfunction are not just annoying midlife inconveniences, but important signals your body is asking you to address. What you'll learn: (00:00) Experiencing sexual or orgasmic dysfunction can act as a crucial early warning signal for underlying heart disease. (00:10) Hot flashes and night sweats originate in the brain and can serve as major red flags for cardiovascular disease and dementia. (01:44) Utilizing a clinically studied form of urolithin A helps renew mitochondrial health to improve muscle strength and function. (02:41) Constant hunger and cravings often stem from a gut issue where cells lack the short-chain fatty acids needed to regulate appetite. (06:04) Over thirty percent of conventional pharmaceuticals originate from the botanical world and traditional medicine. (12:07) Starting with adaptogens like ashwagandha or rhodiola provides a gentle, powerful entrance point for managing nervous system and sleep issues. (12:58) Siberian rhubarb acts as a selective estrogen receptor modulator to target brain and bone health without activating proliferation in the uterus or breast. (16:25) Overcoming menopausal sleep issues requires evaluating lifestyle choices, blood sugar stability, and helpful botanicals like passion flower and saffron. Love the podcast?

If you've ever wondered why your child melts down over small things, you're not alone—what looks like overreacting is often a nervous system that has already reached its limit. Learn more about what's really happening underneath these meltdowns, how emotional dysregulation builds throughout the day, and what actually helps calm the nervous system instead of escalating the behavior.It can feel confusing when your child holds it together all day… then falls apart over dinner, a simple “no,” or a change in plans. Parents often say, “Why is everything such a big deal?”Once you understand nervous system regulation in children, you stop reacting to the explosion and start seeing the pattern underneath it. And that's where real change begins.Let's break it down in a way that finally makes sense—and gives you something you can actually do about it.Why This Matters More Than You ThinkWhen you see why your child melts down over small things, it's easy to think it's just a behavior issue or a phase they'll grow out of. But what's actually happening is much deeper—your child's nervous system is telling you they've reached their limit. And when we miss that signal, we end up reacting to behavior instead of supporting regulation. Repeated dysregulation isn't just about hard moments at home—it affects sleep, learning, relationships, and your child's ability to recover emotionally over time.Once you understand that behavior is communication and not defiance, you stop asking “How do I fix this?” and start asking “What is my child's nervous system needing right now?”Why does my child melt down over small things after a “good” day?When parents ask why your child melts down over small things, they're usually looking at the wrong moment. The meltdown isn't caused by chicken nuggets, bedtime, or homework—it's the final drop in a full stress cup.Throughout the day, your child is constantly regulating:Following directionsManaging frustrationNavigating social pressureHolding it together at schoolBy the time they get home, there is simply no capacity left.Key takeaways:Meltdowns are delayed stress release, not sudden reactions“Good days” can still be neurologically exhaustingCapacity matters more than behavior in the momentReal-life example:A child seems fine after school, but at dinner, they explode because the smallest demand tips them over the edge. The issue wasn't dinner—it was everything before dinner.What causes emotional dysregulation in children throughout the day?Emotional dysregulation in children builds quietly through small, repeated stressors that adults often don't see. Each transition, instruction, or expectation adds weight to the nervous system.Over time, the system shifts into survival mode.What fills the Stress Cup:Academic pressure and focus demandsSocial masking and peer stressTransitions (class, home, activities)Sensory overload (noise, chaos, movement)Constant self-control effortWhen the cup is full, even small requests feel overwhelming.Parent-friendly insights:It's not about one trigger—it's about total loadDysregulation is cumulative, not randomYour child isn't refusing—they're depletedReal-life example:Harry gets through school by holding everything together. At home, his system finally lets go—not because he's being difficult, but because he's out of regulation capacity.Yelling less and staying calm isn't about being perfect—it's about having the right tools. Join the Dysregulation Insider VIP list and get your FREE Regulation Rescue Kit, designed to help you handle oppositional behaviors without losing it. Download it now at www.drroseann.com/newsletterHow do I calm a dysregulated child without making it worse?When a child is in a heightened state of emotional dysregulation in children, correction, logic, or consequences will not work. The nervous system cannot process language—it can only respond to safety.This is where co-regulation techniques matter most.What helps in the moment:Pause before respondingLower your voice and slow your paceSay less, not moreOffer calm presence instead of instructionWhat does NOT help:Explaining why they “should calm down”Asking too many questionsRaising your voice to gain controlParent example:Your child is melting down over dinner. Instead of correcting, you sit quietly nearby, soften your tone, and say, “That was a lot today.” The shift doesn't come from words—it comes from your regulated presence.VISUAL: What a dysregulated brain needs first = Safety, not solutionsWhy does parent emotional regulation change everything?One of the most powerful shifts in parenting a dysregulated child is this: your nervous system leads theirs.When you escalate, they escalate. When you regulate, they borrow your calm.That's why parent emotional regulation is not optional—it's foundational.What changes when you regulate first:Fewer explosive cyclesFaster recovery after triggersMore connection during conflictLess power struggle energyMicro-shifts that matter:Pause before correctingBreathe before respondingSlow your physical movementsFocus on connection before correctionReal-life insight:A parent notices that when they stop reacting immediately and instead lower their voice, their child's intensity drops within minutes. Nothing else changed—just regulation first.What is really happening in your child's nervous system?At the core of why your child melts down over small things is a simple truth: regulation takes energy. For dysregulated kids, it is not automatic—it is effortful.That means your child is constantly working to:Stay focusedFilter inputManage emotionsHandle transitionsBy the end of the day, their system has no flexibility left.Key nervous system truths:Low capacity = high reactivityStress reduces emotional flexibilitySafety restores regulation abilityReal-life example:A teenager who seems “fine” all day becomes irritable and explosive at night. It's not attitude—it's nervous system exhaustion.“It's not the chicken nuggets. It's everything the nervous system has been carrying all day.”— Dr. RoseannWhat You're Seeing Isn't the MomentIf your child is melting down over small things, it does not mean they are difficult—it means they are overwhelmed. Once you understand emotional dysregulation in children through the nervous system lens, everything starts to make sense.And the most powerful shift you can make today is simple: slow yourself down first.You're not alone in this—and you're not doing it wrong. You just needed a different lens.Take one step toward regulation first. That's where change begins.FAQsWhy does my child melt down over small things?Because stress builds throughout the day. The meltdown is the nervous system releasing accumulated overload.How do I calm a dysregulated child?Start with co-regulation: slow your voice, reduce language, and focus on calming before correcting.Is my child defiant or dysregulated?Often what looks like defiance is actually a nervous system overload, not intentional behavior.What is nervous system regulation in children?It's the ability to manage stress and emotions. When overloaded, children lose flexibility and react strongly to small triggers.When your child is struggling, time matters.Don't wait and wonder—use the Solution Matcher to get clear next steps, based on what's actually going on with your child's brain and behavior.Take the quiz at www.drroseann.com/helpDr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge is a licensed therapist, certified school psychologist, and leading expert in emotional dysregulation in children.

Every single day living as a trans person in the US is an unending battle on dozens of different fronts, and it all adds up and takes a toll. Let's talk about what it's like when you're attacked every day, from every angle, and the constant fight that bigoted (or indifferent) cis people have turned our lives into. Actress and writer Nicole Maines returns to discuss deciding our own paths, and how there's a million and one ways to be a person. Listen up, Beverly!

The traditional image of leadership is built around the hero. When problems emerge, the leader steps in. If uncertainty appears, the leader provides answers. Finally, as pressure increases, the leader shields the team. According to leadership coach Daria Rudnik, that model is becoming increasingly ineffective. In a world shaped by constant disruption, Facilitative Leadership is replacing heroic leadership as the capability organizations need most.

Real connection feels harder.In this video, Dr. Trish Leigh explains why recovery is not really about a “90-day reset.”It's about whether your brain relearns regulation.How Long Does It Take To Recover From A Porn Addiction?

Todd Gabler had spent 34 years working one side of the courtroom — every case for the defense. Then Eric Richins' family called about a civil matter and the phone records pulled in the first few weeks made staying in that lane impossible.Constant contact between Kouri Richins and a housekeeper with a criminal record and active drug court failures — in the months surrounding Eric's death. Law enforcement hadn't reached those records yet. Gabler flagged the pattern and kept going. Nearly 50 interviews. Multiple vehicles tracked. A body of evidence assembled that would eventually help break open a criminal investigation that had stalled. The behavioral question is what drives a career defense investigator to cross the line he's worked behind for three decades — and the answer is in what the records showed him.This is the first time Gabler has sat down to walk through the beginning of this case publicly — the call, the records, the moment the direction became clear. A conversation nobody else has had with the man who was inside this investigation before any charges were filed.That investigation ended with a conviction. What came after didn't end. Before sentencing, Kouri wrote a message that prosecutors filed with the court: "They picked the wrong one." "They haven't seen anything yet." She allegedly wrote a letter from jail instructing her brother to testify falsely. She's accused of witness intimidation. Her own thirteen-year-old told the court he's afraid she'll come for him if she's ever released.Eric Faddis walks through what someone serving life without parole can still do from behind bars — the mail, the calls, the proxies — and the legal tools available to protect the Richins family. No-contact orders, protective orders, corrections restrictions. Each addresses a different vector. Faddis identifies which gaps remain even when all of them are in place. Kouri Richins is locked up. The threat she represents hasn't been.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

I think that I knew how to do it, except that it was my body, and it's your body, when you're that you're dealing with. So nobody knows as much about you as you know about yourself.Lesley Logan 0:23  Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started. Lesley Logan 1:05  Okay, Be It babe, we've talked we've we've had people talk about boundaries. We've had people talk about listening to your body. We've had people talk about getting to know yourself. And now I have your guest expert who is able to actually explain how to do all these things, explain how to actually listen to your body, explain how you can heal yourself. And really, we had a really great conversation about what it really looks like. And I mean, she was just describing being it till you see it in such a beautiful way, without saying it. And I just, I'm so excited that you're about to listen to this episode, because I just finished doing it, and I am pleased as punch. And I feel like I learned so much and or and even things that I think I knew were more solidified, and I have more confidence in that. And I just, I'm excited for you. So here's Inna Segal. Lesley Logan 1:52  All right, be it, babe, I'm ready to have this conversation. I got to talk with our guest today before the end of last year, and I was so excited about all the knowledge she has in the area that we're going to dive into. Also, she's a best selling author, and I think it's really important to bring that up. She is the author of The Secret Language of Your Body, and, you know, as a Pilates instructor and someone who's really big on mind-body connection, I couldn't agree more with someone having access and information on how we can get to know and talk with our bodies in such a better way, I think the world will be a better place if we all could do that. So Inna Segal, if you can tell everyone who you are and what you rock at.Inna Segal 2:28  Thank you, Lesley. So I teach people how to connect to their body and listen to their body, but I'm going to also add the soul and really work with it to transform their health, to transform their emotions, to essentially transform any area of their life which is stuck a block into something that is much more wise, flowing and deep. And so they get to know themselves in a deeper, more enriched kind of way. So it's not a surface-based experience, it's a deep dive experience.Lesley Logan 3:07  I know and that's the hard one. The surface is, I think, easy and necessary to, you know, wake up and go to bed and do some stuff in between, but getting to know ourselves on a soul level. I mean, that is, it feels like it shouldn't be tricky, but for whatever reason, it feels like it's the hardest thing for people to do.Inna Segal 3:29  I think it's the hardest thing just because we are not taught from an earlier age that we should listen to our inner self, and that's through our sensations, through our emotions, through what's really going on within ourselves, but we're actually taught to ignore everything and adjust ourselves to everybody else in the world, and so because of that, I feel that it became hard thing, instead of natural, and part of everybody's life is to go my body is essentially showing me if I'm in alignment with my life, with my purpose, with my relationships, with every part of my life, with my health, or it's not, you know, and if it's not, what is it that I need to change and adjust so that it can be?Lesley Logan 4:27  Yeah, yeah. I mean, oh my gosh, you said so much there that I couldn't agree more with. I think we're all taught from a very early age, you know, to not listen to our feelings even as babies, you know, babies are crying and people are like, it's okay, you're okay, and it's like, well, they're crying, you know? And I get, I get why. And by the way, we have a lot of moms listen, I get why. I probably too be like, you're fine, stop crying. But also like, you know, at what point are we teaching our, teaching them at such a young age to not listen to how they feel, or for us to not listen to how they feel, or how we feel so, so I find maybe our bodies are their own language, like we, we grow up learning English, but our bodies are speaking Spanish, and we were never taught to listen to that language. But maybe I'm simplifying a little bit. Inna, can you I would just want to know before we get too deep into this. Like, were you born knowing all this? Did your parents teach you this? Did you come from a mother who made sure you knew how to talk to your get to know your soul and your purpose or how did you get here?Inna Segal 5:28  Well, my mom was actually she's very open-minded as a person, but she was very much when I was growing up. She was very much into the medical world, and she thought the word of the doctor was kind of the Word of God, essentially. So I went to a lot of doctors when I was younger. I had digestive issues, I had psoriasis, I had really bad back pain, sciatica, inflammation in my back, a twisted back, and I had anxiety just from constantly being uncomfortable inside my body and being in pain. And essentially, I want to say my turning point came when I ended up seeing this chiropractor that I'd seen for a while, and he came out of his office looked at me and said, Your body's stuck. And I said, yeah, I know that part. What are you going to do to help me? And I've been seeing him for a while, so this was not my first session with him.Lesley Logan 6:28  That's good. He's not like, look like, you're stuck.Inna Segal 6:32  Yeah, you know, we'd known each other for some time, and he so he's basically, he basically said, you know, your your body wants to be stuck at this point go home, and I didn't take very well to that. On the way home, I was pretty angry, but because I actually come from a background of professional writing and journalism and editing, I was and I was studying that at the time, I was thinking exactly like you were saying before, from that linguistic perspective that I'm stuck my body's speaking to me. I don't know what it's saying, because it might as well be speaking. I felt like it was more Chinese or Japanese, because I literally I can't even recognize the letters, but what I was aware of is that I'd been going to see somebody for about it was two years solid, between three and five days a week, And I would have, you know, times, maybe a week to maximum month, where I felt better and I could forget about everything and just do whatever I needed to do in my life. But then I would have this crash, and all the pain would intensify and explode, and I would feel like it would get worse rather than better. And so what occurred to me on this drive home was that I'd always relied on somebody else to do all the healing work, and I never actually did any thing myself, because I didn't think I was qualified to do it. I think that I knew how to do it, except that it was my body, and it's your body to when you're that you're dealing with. So nobody knows as much about you as you know about yourself. And so when I went home, I made a decision, I'm going to heal myself. And I essentially just did the most basic things. I placed my hands on my back. I was breathing into my back because I realized that I was holding my breath. And you know, if you hold your breath, you are stuck. And I know you probably know about this more than most of us, Lesley, from teaching Pilates, and you know, and connecting to your body in that way. And so as I was doing that, and counting backwards from 30, it occurred to me to ask for something higher in terms of help. Because I thought, why not? Why? You know, at this point, I mean, there was conflict in me around, you know, whether I believed in it fully or not. And I say this because most people go, well, you have to believe. I didn't believe in anything. I'm one of the most skeptical people you're going to meet when it comes to things, you know, where I need proof for things.Lesley Logan 9:30  Right, right.Inna Segal 9:31  And so, you know, I have a very scientific, skeptical mind, and I ask, because I just essentially felt like, Why? Why wouldn't I? Why not ask for help? At this point, I had zero expectations, but this warmth just moved through my body, and as my eyes were closed, I saw this golden light, and then I said, for whatever reason, or I thought, I thought, I wonder what my back would look like if I could see it, and without any expectation, within a few moments, I felt like somebody switched the light on and I could see my back. And although I was a bit shocked, I thought to myself, okay, this is kind of my (inaudible) to Japanese. Show me. Show me why I have this. What is the real reason that I have this? And the best way to describe this is as in having a memory meets a vision meets wisdom, right? So it was kind of like there were several, I am very visual. I didn't know that I was until that moment, but I am and visually, I could connect back to memories of things that happened. But not everything was a memory. Some of it was more of an insight, vision, understanding, kind of wisdom, what happened. And so I saw I was born in Eastern Europe, I saw myself coming to Australia and going to school and being bullied, and from there, developing psoriasis all over my skin. I saw the conflicts that my parents had in terms of trying to adjust to a new culture going to high school and not necessarily being bullied for not being able to speak the language, but being bullied for not being one of us, so to say, not being because it was a private school, not being someone who came from a super wealthy family, not belonging to the same club, and all of that affecting me from the perspective of, I don't feel myself, I don't feel supported, I don't feel comfortable in my own skin. I don't want to be here and.Lesley Logan 11:57  I get all of that. I get all of that all and I think so many people are probably nodding along, we don't realize how it doesn't have to be so bad that we would be on news show or be a documentary about you, but those little things that make you feel unsafe and or you don't belong, it means that your body becomes this foreign thing you you no one know. Not only do you not know how to read Japanese to talk to your body, but it just you know, if you can't belong in your own body, it's really hard to feel like you belong anywhere. And if you don't feel like you belong anywhere, it's hard to know what belonging in your body is. You don't know what what that feels like.Inna Segal 12:41  Well, exactly, and the last part of this was an understanding of ancestry meets my own, I guess, challenge everything interestingly was coming up around this communication challenge, right? So not being able to speak and be myself, not being able to speak English, not being able to speak the language, and I don't mean, you know, when I, when I got older, the language that people are speaking about. Oh look, this is my label. This is what I bought here, and so on. Lesley Logan 13:18  Oh, yeah. Inna Segal 13:18  So there was an interesting aspect of that. And then there was this ancestral trauma that was connected to my digestive system that took a long, long time to work on. And it was to do with my grandmother losing a lot of people in her family. And then when I was 19, I got pregnant. It was very hard for me to adjust to that idea that I was going to become a mother at that age. Out of all my friends, I would have been, you know, the one they thought would either have kids the latest, or maybe not even have them. So the fact that I was the first, and everyone went, oh my god, wow, okay, was pretty intense. And then, when, then I just had this sense that something was off, probably about a month or three weeks before the baby was born and when, but I was told by the midwives that I was crazy, that nothing was happening. And this is, again, how medical professionals often kind of push aside anything intuitive that shows up, and essentially, the baby died pretty much 38 weeks.Lesley Logan 14:31  Oh, I'm so sorry.Inna Segal 14:34  Yeah. So it was so I was in trauma. I didn't want to leave. I was, you know, I just want people to understand I was at rock bottom, even wanting to be here, and I was 20. In my mind, whilst I don't, I can't say 100% I was told that the baby would have died two or three days before, which was actually my birthday, where I turned 20. So it was, you know, so I kind of connected it to my. Birthday and all of this stuff and that I didn't want to be here, and what's the point of everything in life, and this, this whole experience of connecting to my body, was pretty profound. So I really saw how my grandmother and her loss, she lost her mother, and she she was part of a family of eight, and everybody died, except her and her father, who survived for a few years after the war, and she never really grieved it or worked through it in any way or form, because people didn't at that time, and everybody had digestive issues in my family, and so I could see how the explosion occurred. Especially, I had issues before, but after I had the baby, it was just, you know, I, my digestive system just wasn't working well, and during that experience, I cried a lot. I understood a lot of things. I also realized that I was a sponger. I was one of those people that just took on everybody's pain in general, as well as it all. And after all of these insights, I fell asleep, and then the next day, when I wake up, about 70% of the pain was gone from my back, and I felt different. There was something different inside of me where I went, oh my god, my body's working with me. I can help I can work with it. It's because I made this step towards it that it's coming towards me, even though I'm still super skeptical that, you know, this is not just something that's not going to return. And so, you know, over the next few weeks, I just journaled a lot, I asked a lot of questions, I connected, and by the end of it, all the psoriasis was gone. So that was the first thing that went that was and again, lots of people, my family, have it and have had it their whole lives. So it wasn't, and I'd had it for by that stage, for 10 years. So it wasn't like, oh, you know, I had this.Lesley Logan 17:10  Mis-diagnosis of some kind. Inna Segal 17:11  Yeah, yeah, exactly. And then, you know, I noticed, yeah, my back pain disappeared. My anxiety went down. Digestive Issues took years and years to work on. Lesley Logan 17:26  They do. But also with that generational and ancestral trauma, it just takes a while, because the gut just takes a while to, like, rebuild and do all that stuff and figure out what you need. Sorry, I cut you off. But yes, I actually it feels better that it didn't happen overnight, because that would feel weird.Inna Segal 17:47  Well, yeah, exactly. And that's what people need to understand, is that, especially when it comes connects, like, well, what's the gut about? It's about digesting life as well as food, right? It's assimilating, every day we have experiences, this is our emotional center, one of them, and we always talk about our what's your gut saying? Right? So we already know we have it in our language. So we have our intuition, we have our emotions here. We have knowingness here. But it's also all about how we, our relationships. It's an area that processes what happened during the day, your relationships, your experiences how something happened in your life, and what you believe you're capable of doing. It's kind of where your sense of self lives, and many of us need to clarify what that even means and rebuild it, because a sense of self has been beaten down over the years through all sorts of things in our you know, family and even at work, relationships for sure, and so this is something that is daily, right? It's a daily experience where you go, you know, how did I, how did I go today? Did I push down and push away and just keep going, or did I face things?Lesley Logan 19:20  Yeah, I think that's a great, first of all, I love that you ask yourself questions. And I think that that's where a lot of people, well, I think a lot of people get stuck on what am I asking? But also do I ask myself how am I doing? Yes, that's a great place to start. But I do think a lot of people, you know, it's, it's okay if you're one day, like, I can't do it today. I just have to go through. Okay, one day. But where I think happens is that people keep going the next day into the next day. We procrat, we keep putting off the prioritization of ourself. And that's where it builds up on top of the ancestral stuff. So it's we have our own stuff, and then there's the stuff. So I guess I have, I don't want to forget to talk about boundaries, because I know you've clearly had to figure out how to do that since you are so, since you were a sponge before, and obviously we're probably not now, since you figured this out. But for the people who I've heard of, ancestral stuff, like it comes through, how do people know what's theirs and what's ancestral, and then how do you cut the ties of that? Because is it visually cutting the ties? Is it telling your family that's your stuff? How do you do that?Inna Segal 20:31  Well, it's, I don't know about visually cutting it. I'm not gonna be a fan of cutting things in general. I think I'm more into clearing or being very clear in things that I feel in terms of, again, boundaries, it often takes a long time for you to gain your confidence first, to become aware of what is a healthy boundary, right? So you have to even come to that place of, what does it mean and who with, right? Because it's completely different with different people. So I can be incredibly good with having healthy boundaries, let's say with my students or with my clients, but not necessarily with family. And I'm saying it as an example, right? It's easier with people who are not close with you. The hardest thing is with those who are because you don't want to hurt them and you don't want to be harsh. And so from my perspective, I've done all sorts of things with boundaries. I've spent, you know, countless hours at different times in my life writing them down again. I write to get clarity, and I actually encourage everyone to do that in terms of boundaries, because what does it mean to you? You know, is it self respect? Is it self love? Is it space that you need? What boundary are you actually looking at? Is it actually you know, I know so many people that are single and don't have healthy boundaries with people that they have dated or been in relationships before with, or they keep going and then they wonder why they can't find the part, you know, the partner that they want, and all sorts of things. So there's many, many different boundaries that you need to look at. I think the hardest are definitely when it comes to your parents, children and partner. You know, I really think it's also how you present it and then sticking to it. So for instance, with my children, it's also changed over time. So there were times when they were younger, where it was like, well, you have to knock on the door. That's my boundary. Can't just barge in. So if you barge in, you go back, you know, and you knock on the door, that's a boundary, right? And they had to write down their boundaries as well when they were younger, when they were kind of teenagers, and so on. And then it became, well, you know, with my son, for instance, he would go into this place of overwhelm, and then he would bombard me with negative messages in the middle of the night. And so even if I turned my phone off, which was part of my you know.Lesley Logan 23:15  Yeah, you wake up to a crappy day.Inna Segal 23:19  Exactly. And so I said I had to clarify this to him over and over and over again. You can't do this. If you do this, I'm going to, I'm actually not going to speak to you for a while. I mean, unless you're asking me for help, don't, don't send me this, unless you're willing to do what I'm what I'm going to say, so we had a lot of kind of like, here's a boundary. Here's a boundary. Here's a boundary. With my mom, she used to call me, and the first thing that she would say would be some kind of complaint, and I'd be like, as she called, I wouldn't pick up the phone half the time. And she would go, you know, you don't pick up the phone. And I was like, well, let's think about why I don't pick up the phone. You know, what do you usually say when you call me? You know, do you say something positive? Is it something encouraging, or do you kind of attack and say all these things to me? And so again, we had to have a break for several months from talking to each other, because I was like, you can't do that. And then we had a break another time, because she learned her lesson where, you know, and I would say, I will hang up if you start being negative and telling me all this stuff, I'm not your therapist. I'm your daughter. So, you know, we need to change our game and the roles that we're playing, because this, I cannot grow the way that you're you're doing this. And also, I don't want to be in, you know, like you are with my children. So I need a completely different overhaul of mothering, you know, so that I can be the mother that I think they need. There's so many different ways, and I think luckily for me, everybody in the family eventually, because they kind of got the message in terms of what the boundaries are. But it takes time, and it takes a lot of effort.Lesley Logan 25:24  Well, I appreciate you, one, giving all those examples, because I have asked other people this question, and I don't get nearly the detail. I get be patient, but also be clear. And it's right? I thank you for the you know, the same thing I could read on a blog. What I appreciate is like, you explain how your how the boundaries, healthy boundaries evolve over time, based on the person and based on your needs. And also that it is, it is hard. You have to keep enforcing that boundary until you know it's an actual boundary that they see and you can and it can be appreciated. And also that means that they could have boundaries too. And I think that's where a lot of people who struggle when people put boundaries up, is that they don't realize that they too can also have a boundary they too can go reflect on. So I think what a great example you are. So thank you for diving into that. So I do, I do want, before I forget. I do want to go into that ancestral stuff. Because, first of all, I can only imagine what your grandmother went through. But I do, I do know that, most of us, no matter where you live in the world, if you're over 40, you have grandparents or great grandparents who were in these were World Wars. So there was, there was a lot of loss. And you know, I know my father was in a war that was not appreciated and liked, and in hindsight, was a terrible thing, and so not treated the same as people who were in one of the world wars when they came back home. And so I think all these things depend. So how do you how did you discover what was ancestral with your grandmother versus, oh, this stuff, this over here is my stuff. How did you kind of figure that out?Inna Segal 27:04  Well, I started looking at everybody in the family, actually, and I started asking questions, which were, was I born with this? I mean, in other words, did I bring this with me into this life? Is it does it feel like completely mine, or does it feel like I've brought it? I'm picking it up, I'm carrying this, and if I am, then am I doing it unconsciously in the same exact way that my grandmother, or great grandmother, whoever else did, or my mom? Or am I doing this differently? So I was closely looking at it, and one of the biggest things that we do take on, and that I was watching myself, you know, absorb, let's just say, was constant worry, right? Constant worry, because that was something my grandmother did. My grandfather did it. They had digestive issues, they had surgeries, they had cancers. My mom had it, and I was like, what are they doing that I don't want to get the same health issue? Let's break that down. So to actually, because the biggest thing in my family is intestinal cancers, I was like, okay, let's look that up. Well, in my book that I write, let's look at that right, and let's go, what causes this? And if I don't want to get this, I need to act in a very, very different way, meaning internally, not just on the external which means I need to go rather than just sitting in that state of tension and worry, it's like, what can I do to transform that worry? You know, what can I what do I need to work on in terms of that? So, how do I change that when this shows up? What am I worrying about? And actually, my daughter asked me the other day. She goes, Mom, what do you do when, you know, when things happen to her, mainly to my son. And you know that's different, because she was asking me about this ancestral stuff, and I said to her, well, actually, I start to think I know so many processes, right? I teach them, I write about them. So I immediately get my journal out. I write down what's going on for me, and then I look at what are the processes that are available to me that can help me and him? And it could be as simple as I am focused on buying into whatever he's telling me, which is negative and he obviously wants me to feel as bad as I possibly can feel because that's his pattern that he's learned from, you know, his dad and other people in the family. So what if I don't buy that, and I actually keep seeing him being healthier and being stronger and being, you know, different and so at different times. I mean, not different who he is, but being aware of where he's at. And you know what I found is that it's not immediately that the change happens when you hold something different for, let's say, your your child, but eventually they have. It's like they have something different to adjust to than that ancestral line that you've worked on yourself, and that's how you change things for your family.Lesley Logan 30:50  Inna, that is freaking amazing. It's like, I'm obsessed with this, because it's instead of me turning on the emotion that they're trying to get me to have, I'm visualizing the person that I wish they could be in that moment. I can stay good, and their stuff stays their stuff, and it's not going to solve it in today's conversation or tomorrow's conversation or whatever. But I'm not taking it on either, because it's not mine. I love this so much. Oh my god. I mean, I could keep talking about this with you, but I do want to pick your brain about something that we talked about that made me so excited. You have a whole thing you talk about archetypes and with masculine and feminine. I just kind of wanted to get into that, because I think it's really easy for, you know, with Instagram, to say, like, oh, you got to be in your feminine. And it's like, well, yeah, and I run my own business, so, you know, sometimes I have to talk about taxes, sometimes just got to do it. So I kind of wanted to hear your take, because I'm I also am someone who's, like had gut issues, and I've had a lot of people who listen, who have that, and I'm like, how do I stay not taking it all in, but also, being in this world, this world is a lot going on.Inna Segal 32:02  Yeah, absolutely, when we're looking at archetypes, essentially, what we're looking at is emotion meets your belief systems and a perspective, a particular way of seeing life, meets your life story. So what's actually occurred to you specifically, and also it connects to your ancestry, what you've picked up and you're playing out that you're not necessarily aware of. So let's say we are looking at feminine and masculine as archetypes. So if I'm looking in the feminine archetype, and I feel hardly anyone talks about this, I need to, actually, to understand my own feminine I need to understand my feminine line. I need to understand, well, what was the feminine in terms of my grandmother, let's say, how did she express that? And is that in alignment with what I feel feminine is at this point, so was she warm, kind, loving, expressive, or was she cold, disconnected in herself? What was the example of feminine from, let's say, my grandmother or my auntie or my mom, ideally, all of these people, because that became my idea of what feminine is. Now around the age of 14 to let's say 16, we are as we're growing in that teenage age, which is also an archetype where we're looking at our family, female and females and males, and we're going, who would I like to be like? Who is showing me something that is more appealing to me than the other person? So for a lot of us, especially of my generation, like you said, people in their 40s. You, you, you kind of had that more of a choice than the generations before that, where you looked at your mom and you looked at your dad and you went, I think I want to be more masculine because it looks more fun and I can and I want to, you know, for me, it was like, I want to be like, Madonna, look, if she can do it, I can do it. Lesley Logan 34:32  I wasn't allowed to have her on my wall, but I am so I feel like I missed out on an amazing chapter of life, if I could have had her as my mentor.Inna Segal 34:41  So, you know, and she was quite masculine, and since she went, I'm going to do whatever men do. I'm going to conquer the world, blah, blah, blah. So to me, it was that, and subconsciously, again, no one does this consciously. Subconsciously, I went, well, my mom, so. what feminine means for her. in terms of what I've seen, is cooking, cleaning, doing what you don't want to do, being subordinate to your partner. I'm not doing that. So I was like, I'd rather be masculine than feminine in that sense, again, not consciously, because my dad has freedom. He does whatever he wants to do. My mom does whatever my dad wants her to do, whatever she feels, she's constantly adjusting herself. And so I kind of went like this, you know, bull into the real, into my earlier relationships, going, oh no, it's my way, like I because I cannot be like what I've seen my mom be, which obviously then create a lot of conflict, and made me go, okay, so when I'm looking when somebody says, be feminine, and I'm looking at this, and it's still work, a work in progress, right? And I'm going, so what does it look like today to show up being feminine in terms of this person and that and I thought about it in so many different ways, and one of the easiest ways I've thought about it is through color. So it was like, okay, let's say I'm wearing pink today, so I'm going, pink is a soft color, quite feminine in that sense of expansion. It's it's a love color, but it's gentle. It's not that red passion, you know, and intensity. It's softer than green. Even the green is connected to the heart and healing the heart. So, I, you know, I might go, okay, so what does it look like to be pink and connect to my son, for instance, through that, you know, more of the gentleness let me, let me get to know myself in that feminine through that color. How do I breathe? How do I feel? How do I walk? How does my voice sound? Can I adjust my voice based on this color? Right? Because people get affected. And so it started to look at that. And I also think that when you're looking at again feminine or masculine, it's about role models. It was like, what what do I already have, and what am I missing? And so one of the things, because I grew up in, you know, both when I was very young, in Eastern Europe and then in Australia, most of the time now, in both of these places, gracefulness is not one of the things that you see in terms of women. But in France, you see that all the time. And so at one point, I was like, what am I missing? Oh, I'm missing this sense of grace that I find really attractive in terms of seeing in other women. And so where do I find this? And I was like, I need to, I need to look at old movies. I need to look at French women, not all of them, but. Lesley Logan 38:06  Yeah, no, Inna, this is so be it till you see it. This is the blueprint for how to be it till you see it. And I agree, oh my god, the French women, they know how to just like they exude luxury and grace.Inna Segal 38:20  Exactly. And just watching it and going, oh, okay, let me, let me embrace this. Let me practice this. Right? Because people think, oh, I am who I am, and I'm, I don't agree with that. It's like, you are a refinement, you know? And this is why I don't agree with this whole idea in the New Age movement of I'm already perfect. It's like, what? Why? What are you doing here? If you're already perfect, what's the point of this? Perfection, as my partner says this (inaudible) perfection is the enemy of creation. It's like, you're not perfect. You would not be here. This is not a holiday. You're here to evolve and grow. And, refine. You know, let's not even use the word perfect. Let's use the word refine. And, you know, grow in that sense. And it's the same with the masculine. What I find, for instance, is that people who find it very hard to be successful in the outside world have a very weakened masculine without any doubt, it's almost like that spine of the masculine is weakened inside of them, usually from childhood, usually from, you know, all sorts of belief systems and early failures and lack of direction and lack of support often from their family in terms of, rather than pushing somebody into direction, actually discovering the direction that and supporting them in the direction that is right for them. And so what ends up happening is that these people start having these very, very strong belief systems. But it shows up in their spine like literally shows up energetically in their spine, because lower back, for instance, is all about finances. And you know, how good are you at looking after and supporting your family? And I grew up with people who constantly thought about finances, so it was not a surprise when I figured it out I had back pain, and love back pain. So it's almost like, as you become aware of it, you actually have choice to do something about it. So with the masculine you can, you know, you can go, oh, I need to work on strengthening that archetype, that part of myself, but also my spine, and my ability to handle rejection, my ability to handle objections, my ability to to guide if it is my own business, let's just say my ability to make decisions, concentration, logic, so all of those are beautiful masculine qualities. But I need to, let's say, whether you're in a masculine or feminine body, feminine is creative. It's light, it's a bit chaotic, but it's, you know, it's flowing at the same time, it's colorful, it, you know that there is that divinity and spirituality magic that it has there, whereas the masculine is more about making it happen, taking something that's creative and amazing and putting it into practice.Lesley Logan 41:35  Well, and you can, I would love to hear, I want to make your own opinion for you, but it just sounds like we need both. We have to we all need both. And it sounds like understanding where we got our our vision of what those two things are and how we are using them in our body is going to either help us or it's or it might be what's harming us. And so the more we can take our time to discover who is. Where did I discover my feminine and where am I, where would I like it to be? And where did the masculine happen? And where would, where would I prefer it to be? And then working towards that. And I love that we are not perfect. There's no perfect. Just keep on evolving and refining and getting better and so but the Instagram world is like, oh, I have three friends who are like, I'm just gonna, live in my divine feminine I'm like, oh, okay. I mean, I think that's gonna be hard.Inna Segal 42:32  Well, actually, interestingly, quite a few years ago, when I was separating from my ex husband, I ended up meeting this friend of mine, and she was doing this whole divine feminine thing at the time. And I remember I would call her and I would say, we caught up three times a week at the time, which was amazing. And I'd call her and I'd go, oh, what have you been doing, you know, this week, besides the times we've, you know, caught up, and she'd go, I'm connecting to my feminine I'm just literally lying next to the pool, journaling, you know, getting the sun, having a swim, and that's all I'm doing, because I'm slowing down internally and and she would speak in this beautiful, kind of very slow way. And I remember thinking, it's like she's the complete opposite to me. I don't even know what that looks like, or what that means to just, you know, go, and this was happening over many months, where she just, you know, it was covered. She wasn't working, and she was, you know, she'd pick up her son and do some things in the evening from school, but most of the day was about this and and really embodying it. And I was well, firstly, I think it's amazing that she's doing it, but most of us do not have that luxury of just or a (inaudible). Lesley Logan 43:53  Right, we do have to kind of go do something today.Inna Segal 44:01  Exactly. And, you know, in the same way that it was beautiful, it was also really challenging for her, because then she was kind of like, well, I want to start a business, but there was all sorts of blocks that were coming up for her to start a n business, because she really got into that state of, well, feminine means there's no time limit. You just do what you want. You just kind of, right? And eventually it's she had to step into her masculine and start to balance it out, because you cannot just be in one, you know, constantly.Lesley Logan 44:41  Yeah, one or the other. Yeah, it goes the same with like, oh my gosh, I we don't have time to get into it. But on the ground, these people are, these dudes, this is what it means to be masculine. I'm like, is it though? Maybe you should find your feminine. Maybe you should. But I appreciate that you sharing that story and also, yeah, we it's kind of taking the time to understand both archetypes for ourselves and what that refinement looks like, and then working on what the transition is between the two and when, when you're applying both. You know, I feel like I could talk to you forever, because, it's so beautiful what you do, and you're so knowledgeable, and there's a lot of kindness and how you approach these things, it's also so patient. So, you know, I appreciate that, because, you know, our listeners are like, okay, but tell me. And I think they need to hear it does take time, so we are going to take a brief break and find out where people can find you, follow you, work with you, and your Be It Action Items. Lesley Logan 45:31  All right, Inna, where do you hang out? Where can they buy your book? Where they take courses? Where should they go to learn more about you?Inna Segal 45:39  So the best place to go to is my website, which is innasegal.com I-N-N-A-S-E-G-A-L dot com, and what I really invite people to do is to take a step forward. And in the last few years, what I wanted to do is to take away people's excuses. So I used to do these master classes, slash mini workshops. I used to charge quite a bit of money for it. And then I said to my partner, you know what? I just feel like I want to spread the seeds, so to speak, and I want to give people an opportunity for, you know, some time. And this can change at any point that we've decided to change it, but for some time, an opportunity to access these, you know, mini workshops for free, because I want to take away excuses, because most people have excuses, non stop excuses, of why they don't do something. And the only excuse I cannot take away is you actually making a time for yourself and going and doing it, right? Actually doing the course, the mini workshop, the masterclass, and giving yourself the opportunity to tune in and there's, there's several master classes, so there's option. It's not, I never believe in one fits all kind of mentality. Some, some people very new to my work, my book, The Secret Language of Your Body, and they just want to go, how do I work with the book in the best way possible, right? How do I work with my body in the best way possible? So we have options for that, where people can, you know, can can do a course based on my book, The Secret Language of Your Body, or they might, you know, we also did something called the eight-week challenge where, you know, connecting to your intuitive body, where I go through all the systems of the body through the eight weeks, as well as archetypes and tuning into your body. And this is a way for people to really get to know and understand all the different aspects of their body that shows up and really befriend it. But then I teach, I teach my kind of 10-day workshop of Awake the Healer Within which is what I'm most excited about, because it's what you know, what is the foundation of healing? What does it actually mean to heal on the deepest level? And we talk about and work with a lot of archetypes, from feminine and masculine to the victim to the, you know, inner child, to really understanding your saboteur and how you sabotage your life, how you procrastinate and so, as well as the archetypes connected to your intuition and your capacity to move forward. So, and there's a lot of kind of tools around working with the body and healing and different conditions and energy and so on in that particular offering, which is a master class as well, but it goes for four hours. You need more time, and we go into all sorts of processes. I always, I don't just talk in these master classes. I actually give people a lot of wisdom and processes. And then I have one on your purpose and the sole purpose, and what it even means and looks like, and one on understanding ancestry and understanding your kind of your stages of development. So there's a lot.Lesley Logan 49:17  Inna, oh my gosh, if you try it right now you can, you can access it for free. So you should go do that. Why would you wait? And if you have to pay, I think it's probably worth it. So, I mean, I learned so much already. You have given us so much, and I agree with that. Like, take a step forward so that could be your Be It Action Item. But if you have any other bold, executable, intrinsic or targeted steps people can take to be it till they see it, we'd love to hear them.Inna Segal 49:43  I feel like step one is making a decision that you're you're somehow responsible for your own healing, not for what happened to you, not for all the trauma that occurred to you and other people's involvement. But what can you do about it and without it, nobody actually really heals in a real way. Other people can do all sorts of things for you, but it won't fully hold, because unless you take that step forward, you're not, you know, you're not really understanding what it's about. And so step one is being interested, being willing to understand, taking that responsibility and then searching for it, taking step a step forward, and then I'm going to say is helping yourself from the perspective of, how does this become part of my life? Right? So, how do I make it part of my life? In other words, what do I do when I wake up in the morning most of the time, right? Because we can't do something all the time. Things change. But most of the time, what is your first thought when you wake up in the morning? Are you focused on meditation, divine connection? Are you focused on what you could do during the day? Are you focused on the positive? Are you focused on stress and worry. You know, what, what happens to you? Then you know what happens to you when you're eating, for instance, are you conscious? And I think that's a huge one for most people, including myself, because we're just running and doing this and this and that in the you know, can you start to create time? And I had this conversation yesterday, actually, with my partner. I went to meet his family. He's from the UK, so we went to England last year, and I was watching his family, and I was like, oh my god, I can't breathe because they just ran. There was no stopping, there was no kind of breathing, there was no self-reflection. There was just doing, doing next thing, next, next, next. And he said to me yesterday, he said, I've just realized that, you know, I do my work. We work together. I think like you do with your husband. And he's like, I finished something, and I go, what's next, what's next, what's what's next. And I never give myself time to really connect and tune in. And he and I said to him, yeah, because this is that's all you've seen when you were growing up, I was exhausted watching your family, and I remember at one point I did a process, and I did in the wrong place, in the wrong room, where everybody could see me, where they started coming into the house. I didn't realize how long it would take. And they were like, what are you doing, wasting your time, as opposed to, actually, I'm doing something really important. Why are you not helping us? I was like, oh, because I'm being I need to, you know, I'm doing something for myself because it was, it's non-existent, and he went, it's almost like I feel guilty, or I feel, you know, that I'm wasting my time. That's why, when you keep saying, do processes, but I have so much more to do, but it's practical. And what you're saying to do is impractical. It's you know, internal stuff, but not, I don't see the practical application of it. And, you know, he's like, can I feel guilty, and he's like, I need to change this, right?Lesley Logan 53:18  Yeah.Inna Segal 53:20  And this is many, many people, especially men, where they kind of go up, I just need to fix stuff, I just need to do stuff, as opposed to, unless you're good inside, and you even give yourself an opportunity, like you said, Lesley, to ask questions, to go within, to discover who are you? What do you stand for? What do you do? What are you about? You know, all of this takes time to self-reflect and self-connect. How can you have boundaries? How can you have good relationships with someone if you never think about it right, because that shows up in your body. So how do you allow yourself to access feelings if you're being taught to push them down? Well, it takes time. It takes time for you to explore, but you have to make that choice to explore.Lesley Logan 54:18  I love this so much, and also, isn't it so funny when we see our partner or our friends, where they come from, and then you're like, oh, that's why you don't sit still. No one is sitting still. And my husband will listen to this when we'll do a recap, but like, hey, babe, do you did you see yourself in that description of her partner? Because, we're going on vacation. And he put he brought the computer to the pool. We brought the computer to the pool. And I was like, I'm gonna shame you. I'm gonna put you on the internet. My husband brought his computer to the pool, everyone. You know, but also, you know it's we're all on this journey. We're all learning the more we can actually take it, take your Be It Action Items, and embody them and use them. I think we can. We all get to grow together, and we can affect so many people's lives. Our bubble of influence will be affected in a positive way. So thank you, Inna for being you and for all that you brought to us and all that you educated us on. We're gonna have to talk again, I'm sure, because I barely, I think we barely touched the surface of all that you know, but y'all make sure you connect with Ina. Make sure you share this episode with a friend who needs to hear it, and let us know which Be It Action Item you use and how that helped you. We would love to hear it. We'd love to celebrate with you. And until next time, Be It Till You See It. Lesley Logan 55:36  That's all I got for this episode of the Be It Till You See It Podcast.
