Most perfectionists have been praised their whole lives for being perfectionists. That's the thing that makes it so hard to see. In this episode, Monique unpacks what perfectionism actually is, underneath the praise: a survival contract your younger self made with the world that said, if I get this right, I will be safe. She tells the story of a woman called Nina — a successful lawyer whose family and team had stopped bringing her their rough drafts because they'd learned she had a very accurate ruler. And the story of a brilliant writer friend with a folder of forty-three finished, unsent pieces on her laptop. This is an episode for the high achievers who have quietly been paying the price of their own perfection for years. Who can't tell the difference between high standards and fear anymore. Who finish things and feel relieved instead of proud. You will leave this episode with one small, specific experiment to try this week. Not a breakthrough. Not a life overhaul.

Message Us! In this episode of Mad About Podcast, Maddy Alexander-Grout sits down with Alyssa for a brilliantly honest, chaotic, funny, and emotional conversation about neurodivergence, identity, trauma, performance, and the pressure to fit into a world that often doesn't understand different brains.Together they dive into the realities of living with ADHD, the long-lasting impact of bullying, rejection sensitivity, masking, burnout, and why so many neurodivergent people use humour as a survival tool. From cringeworthy moments and public perception to self-expression, grief, nostalgia, and self-care, this episode feels like a conversation between two people who genuinely get it.It's funny. It's vulnerable. It's validating. And it's a reminder that sometimes the people who laugh the loudest are carrying the heaviest stories.In This Episode, We Talk About: ADHD, diagnosis journeys, and late discovery  Bullying and its impact on confidence and identity  RSD (Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria)  Why humour becomes a coping mechanism  Performing, masking, and audience expectations  The evolution of communication and online culture  Alcohol, self-care, and neurodivergent coping strategies  Balancing work, rest, family, and overstimulation  Trauma, grief, and finding laughter in dark moments  Cringe stories, public mistakes, and awkward memories  Authenticity, visibility, and embracing who you really are Key Takeaways Humour can be healing, especially for neurodivergent people navigating difficult experiences.  Many ADHDers grow up feeling “too much” or misunderstood.  Bullying and rejection can deeply shape self-worth and self-expression.  Rest is not laziness — especially for neurodivergent brains.  Authenticity becomes easier when you stop performing for everyone else.  Shared experiences create powerful connection and validation. Favourite Quotes“We're mad about everything.”“I think we need to normalize it.”“Trauma made us funny.”Chapters00:00 – Introduction to Neurodivergence and Humor 02:59 – Alyssa's Journey to Diagnosis and Performance 05:52 – The Impact of Bullying on Neurodivergent Individuals 08:55 – Nostalgia and the Evolution of Communication 11:51 – Navigating RSD and Audience Perception 13:56 – Public Expectations and Algorithms 14:46 – Alcohol, Self-Care, and Coping Mechanisms 18:36 – Balancing Work, Family, and Personal Needs 21:52 – Embracing Neurodivergence and Self-Expression 26:30 – Coping with Grief and Finding Humor 27:35 – Cringe Moments and Professional Mishaps 32:53 – Why Trauma Often Creates Dark Humor 36:46 – Defying Societal Norms and Embracing AuthenticityConnect with MaddyFollow Maddy Alexander-Grout for more conversations around ADHD, visibility, business, money, identity, and showing up authentically as a neurodivergent human. @maddytalksmoney on instagram @madaboutmoneyofficial on TikTok ----------------------Visit Maddy's ⁠⁠⁠Stan Store⁠⁠⁠Follow Maddy on ⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠

Letting go of control is terrifying when control has been the only thing keeping you together.That's where Beth McDonough was, using alcohol to manage what she couldn't say out loud, couldn't process, and couldn't put down.

And working in crime reporting only made it harder to put the weight down at the end of the day.In this episode, Lyndsay Soprano sits down with Beth McDonough for one of the most honest conversations the show has had about addiction, shame, and what recovery actually looks like when you're in the middle of it. Not the cleaned-up version. The real one.This episode is for anyone who has ever used something — anything — to survive a version of themselves they didn't know how to face.

The Devil card in tarot shows us where we are harming ourselves, and where we are stuck in maladaptive and unhealthy loops, often tied to trauma, addiction, shame, and impulsiveness. The Devil can also hint at dark and spicy elements of life, such as polyamory, kink, and things of that nature - though, unless otherwise indicated in the position the card is pulled in the reading, The Devil often does reference excess, lack of control, and being impulsive and intensity in ways that hurt/harm us.The Devil is about patterns and bad vibes - unfortunately including secrets, abuse, addictions, shopping addiction, sex addiction, overspending, gambling, avoidance, cheating, manipulation, and more. Do not ignore The Devil when this card comes up! It's a big deal. However you relate to The Devil, you can heal and work through it.-Secrets of a Witch is a podcast by writer, artist, and spiritual teacher Sabrina Scott.

This word may be deciding how your brain approaches a new habit or behavior. You have probably said it a hundred times that something is just too hard.

Want help uncovering the real reasons behind your urges and build a plan to overcome your pornography use? Click here to book a free call with Sam to get help to overcome pornography – https://stopporn.info/    Have questions you want me to address on future podcast episodes? Email me here:  sam@healingcouples.org   Episode show notes: Is pornography addiction a choice or a coping mechanism? The answer is both — and that one idea can change everything about how you recover from it. If you're a wife trying to heal from the betrayal of your husband's pornography use, this episode will help you understand what was actually driving his behavior — and how to tell whether real change is possible. If you're a husband who wants to quit pornography for good but keeps failing no matter how hard you try, this episode explains exactly why willpower isn't working — and what to do instead. Most pornography addiction recovery advice tells men to manage their urges better. Accountability partners. App blockers. Cold showers. That's not what we teach here. Quitting pornography for good means resolving the pain underneath the urge — low self-worth, inability to be vulnerable, unprocessed stress and shame. Fix the root, and the urge loses its fuel. You'll also learn the single clearest signal that tells a wife whether her husband's pornography recovery is real — and it has nothing to do with what he says in the moment she finds out. In this episode: Is pornography addiction a choice or a coping mechanism — the real answer How to quit pornography by resolving the root cause, not managing urges How to rebuild trust after pornography addiction is discovered Why shame and remorse don't stop pornography use — and what does How wives can heal from betrayal trauma after pornography addiction The clearest sign that pornography recovery is real and lasting Why men keep relapsing into pornography use even when they want to stop How to know if your marriage can heal after pornography addiction

Send us Fan MailSome claim that smoking helps make them calm, but the cigarette or vape is more than likely what caused them to feel irritable and anxious in the first place. For this episode, produced by our media relations intern Haely Shirley, we find out the effects of smoking, vaping and related products on young adults bodies and their mental health and the improvement on both when you quit those products. Our experts for this episode are well known to our listeners, Poorvanshi Alag, M.D., psychiatrist, and Tushi Singh, pulmonologist, both with Texas Tech Physicians. 

Striving can look productive. It can even look spiritual. However, it is often control disguised as obedience. In this episode, I am sharing a conversation from a podcast where I was recently a guest. We unpack how striving can quietly become a coping mechanism. Instead of surrendering outcomes to God, we try to manage them. We work harder, push more, and call it discipline, when in reality it can drift into pressure and legalism. We also talk about the difference between discipline and striving, and what it means to be truly yoked with the Lord. When your work flows from trust and desire instead of control, the fruit looks different. God's path produces growth without the exhaustion that comes from trying to carry everything yourself.

What does it take to go from standing at the edge of a highway at 2 a.m.—ready to end your life… to receiving a miracle heart transplant and living with radical faith?In this powerful episode, we sit down with our dear friend Phillip Gornail to unpack a story that honestly left us in awe of God's grace.Phil opens up about the night he drove the wrong way onto a highway after losing his marriage, his identity, and what he believed was his purpose. Divorce. Financial collapse. Shame. The kind of dark night of the soul that many people silently walk through. And then—God intervened.But that wasn't the end of the story.Years later came cancer. Kidney failure. Chemotherapy. Heart failure. And eventually, a heart transplantAnd yet through every diagnosis, every loss, every moment where fear could have taken over, Phil chose something different: surrender. Trust. Faith in God's authority over his life.This conversation isn't just about survival. It's about transformation.Chapters00:00 Podcast Preview01:33 Topic and Guest Introduction04:46 Meet Phillip Gornail: A “Recovering Know-It-All”07:04 Landmark Forum & The Blind Spots We Can't See09:38 Reflections on Early Life and Family Dynamics13:55 The Mask of Arrogance & Feeling “Not Enough”15:38 Faith Lessons from the Roman Centurion18:35 Marriage, Trauma, and Learned Behaviors24:04 Divorce, Financial Collapse & Identity Loss28:24 The Night God Intervened on the Highway30:44 Men's Ministry and Spiritual Recovery31:50 Reconcile Your Past, Navigate Your Present33:08 Coping Mechanisms & Emotional Awareness35:27 Cancer Diagnosis & Refusing Chemo38:39 Kidney Failure & Radical Forgiveness39:44 Heart Failure at 15% & Transplant Stats42:30 Why He Asked People Not to Pray for Him44:50 Meeting His Donor's Family46:08 Trusting God's Bigger Story48:42 Men's Ministry & Living With a New Heart49:58 Give Away AnnouncementResources mentioned:

It's been a week. In this episode, my husband Rabbi Yonasan Reiser and I sit down to talk about something that's been very alive right now: coping mechanisms in a real, honest, this-is-what-our-nervous-systems-actually-do way. We talk about what coping mechanisms actually are, why we can't just decide to stop doing them, and why the self-deprecation that comes after — the memes, the jokes, the haha-I-ate-everything — is actually just another coping mechanism sitting on top of the first one. I share what my own coping has looked like during this war. My husband shares his. We get into soldiers and dissociation and bitachon. And we close with the idea that during times of intense pressure, the small steps we manage to take — the tiny bits of awareness, the moments of trying — carry exponential weight. Neurologically and spiritually. The olive doesn't reveal its light until it's pressed. This one's for anyone who's been a little hard on themselves lately for how they're coping. Which is probably most of us.

We all use coping mechanisms sometimes. To escape, to offer some distraction or to feel more calm. Coping mechanisms aren't always inherently bad - but they CAN be when they cause distress, don't solve the problem or avoid providing us with the real solution to a problem.   In todays episode, Kylene discusses how coping mechanisms show up, how to identify what they offer, and think through replacements that are more beneficial.    Free Habit transformation template PDF: https://www.canva.com/design/DAHC5rgrKvg/9MDqDOmajKEtC9ZWpHPuuw/view?utm_content=DAHC5rgrKvg&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link2&utm_source=uniquelinks&utlId=h7da8f0b86b   Supplements for Addict: https://us.fullscript.com/plans/kylenet-kylene-terhune-1531288982-addiction-recovery-support   Supplements for Betrayed Partner: https://us.fullscript.com/plans/kylenet-kylene-terhune-1531288982-addiction-recovery-support   If you are a betrayed partner and would like to connect with Kylene go to www.RecoverUcoaching.com for more information!    Sign up for the What's NEXT online course for betrayed partners HERE: https://recoverucoaching.com/whats-next-course   Submit Questions and Feedback to the RecoverU podcast here: https://forms.gle/uww5sWK1WP8T8dbc8    Join the free RecoverU Facebook page for betrayed partners: www.facebook.com/groups/recoveru2    For addicted spouses check our puredesire.org and soulrefiner.org Follow Kylene: On TikTok: @KyleneTerhune  On IG: @KyleneTerhune

In this episode of the Man Within Podcast, Sathiya Sam delves into the complexities of porn addiction, challenging the common misconception that addiction is purely about pleasure. He emphasizes that the true nature of addiction lies in the conflict between desire and self-loathing, where individuals often crave something they simultaneously detest. Drawing on the research of Dr. Gary Wilson, Sathiya explains how early excitement from porn fades, leading to a reliance on it as a coping mechanism for stress and discomfort. This creates a cycle of shame and confusion, where the desire for porn persists despite a lack of enjoyment.  

In this episode of Spiritual Unraveling, hosts Nate and Ashley explore the challenges of letting go of old patterns and coping mechanisms that no longer serve them. They discuss the journey of awakening to new realities, the dynamics of codependency, and the importance of grounding and authenticity. The conversation delves into the discomfort of change, the power of contrast in personal growth, and the necessity of purging old behaviors. Ultimately, they emphasize the significance of practicing humility and balance as a means to connect with one's true essence.

After a few weeks off, Monologuing returns — slightly emotionally bruised but still professionally unhinged. In this catch-up episode, I fill you in on where I've been (life hit a little harder than expected), why I disappeared, and what the last few weeks have looked like behind the scenes. We're talking grief, the weirdness of time when everything feels surreal, and the delicate balance between honoring heavy moments… and still wanting to talk about reality TV. Because obviously we're recapping Love Is Blind. Priorities. I'm also sharing what I've been watching, what I've been cooking, and how I've been keeping myself distracted — because nothing says “coping” like yelling at strangers getting engaged through a wall. It's vulnerable. It's chaotic. It's deeply unserious at times. Basically… it's Monologuing. Thanks for being here.

While Filipinos are known to be one of the happiest people in the world, mental health advocate Giancarlo de Vera says that we should be cautious about always pushing through the hurt and simply 'looking at the bright side' of things. - Kilala ang mga Pilipino bilang isa sa pinakamasayahing grupo sa mundo, ngunit ayon sa mental health advocate na si Giancarlo de Vera, kailangang mag-ingat sa mga coping mechanisms gaya ng 'looking at the bright side' ng mga bagay-bagay.

We're deviating a bit from the normal conversations that focus specifically on SEO. But… you're a whole human. And part of that is made up of your professional life & strategies. The other part is your personal life & fulfillment.As Angela shares—“It's great to build a business, but you don't want it to be at the expense of your relationship and your personal life.”I mean, exactly! So then the age-old question comes up… is it even possible to have both a thriving professional AND personal life?James has this to say—“Our main focus is on the marriage and how the marriage is the catalyst and the foundation for growing the booming business.”I don't know if I've shared on the podcast before, but my boyfriend and I are both entrepreneurs. We are intimately familiar with just what it can look like for the business, or businesses, to be the priority. But with awareness + tools (like Angela & James share in this conversation, including their book Married & Magnetic), we're able to have a much more intentional & balanced approach to both.And while this isn't exactly an SEO-focused episode, Angela attended one of my

What do you do when hope feels hard to hold onto?In this episode, I welcome back author and speaker Kirby Kelly to talk about her new book, The Fabric of Hope, and why hope is not just a feeling—but a vital part of healing.We explore how hope impacts emotional, spiritual, and even physical health, and why surrendering to God in the middle of hard seasons can be transformational. Research shows that people with a strong sense of hope are more resilient, experience less anxiety and depression, and often recover more quickly—yet hope can feel hardest to access when life brings loss, illness, or exhaustion.Kirby shares biblical insight and practical steps to help cultivate hope when you feel stuck, discouraged, or at rock bottom. If you've been longing for healing, clarity, or renewed strength, this conversation will encourage you to see how God can weave redemption into every season of your story.Chapters:00:00 Podcast Preview01:20 Topic and Guest Introduction05:07 Welcome Back & Introducing The Fabric of Hope06:25 The Journey of Grief and Loss12:04 Understanding Grief Without Guilt15:25 The Power of Lament and Honest Emotions18:02 Coping Mechanisms and True Healing22:00 The Role of Faith in Navigating Pain25:13 Stories of Hope: The Example of Joseph30:42 Practical Ways to Practice Hope Daily35:49 A Word for the Listener Who Feels Hopeless30:26 Conclusion and How to Get Kirby's BookResources mentioned:The Fabric of Hope: How God Weaves Redemption into Every Season by Kirby KellyGet Your Copy at: fabricofhopebook.comKirby Kelly's Website: kirby-kelly.comEpisode 150: Overcoming Addiction and Habitual Sin: A Journey to Freedom with Kirby KellyConnect with today's guest:Kirby Kelly is an author, speaker, and podcast host based in Dallas, Texas.

In this episode, we are diving headfirst into coping mechanisms. Aka adapted survival skills. They develop for a reason and yet we judge ourselves so harshly for using them. And while it's tempting to think that they are what keep us stuck, we'd challenge you to consider how embracing them may be the key to getting unstuck. We're also going to introduce you to our adaptive child alter-egos, Taz and Ursula. Key Topics in this episode: The "adaptive child" vs. "wise adult" framework Why coping mechanisms persist even when they're no longer helpful How shame creates loops that prevent change The role of nervous system safety in building new habits Identity shifts and the grief that comes with change Practical approaches: naming your inner child, self-compassion over self-bullying
