Many therapists feel a pull to create income outside of the one-to-one therapy model, but feel conflicted about influencer culture, constant posting, or anything that feels misaligned with their professional values. In this episode, I explore how therapists can diversify their income by teaching, without becoming influencers or leaving the field. I break down why teaching is a natural extension of clinical work, how continuing education fits ethically within scope, and why so many therapists already have teachable expertise without realizing it. I discuss practical, realistic options for therapists, including continuing education, consultation, digital educational products, and podcast-based learning, and reframe income diversification as an issue of sustainability, not commitment. This episode is especially relevant for seasoned clinicians who want longevity in the profession without hype or hustle culture.

How do you find hope when a doctor gives you 8 years to live? This moving episode proves that Living Well with Dementia is about more than just a diagnosis; it's about choosing a new way to thrive. Our guest was diagnosed with young-onset Alzheimer's at 50, but a decade later, he is rewriting the narrative through cycling and advocacy. Living Well with Dementia requires a shift in perspective.

Furthermore, this conversation provides caregivers with practical "hacks," such as using digital clocks and open toolboxes to maintain independence. Ultimately, the secret to Living Well with Dementia lies in making moments, not memories. Specifically, learn why you should stop "testing" a loved one's memory and start entering their world instead. If you want to move from fear to action, this episode is for you.

Jamie Vinck is a seasoned behavioral health executive, therapist, and author of The Rehab Playbook. With a background in corporate HR and a powerful personal journey through family, leadership, and loss, Jamie brings a unique blend of clinical insight and real-world business acumen. As the CEO of The Meadows and a board leader in national addiction treatment efforts, she is passionate about helping people find healthier coping mechanisms and create lasting change. Her work bridges professional success and personal healing — a true catalyst for transformation. Three Key Quotes "Addiction is a chronic brain disease" "We all have coping strategies — they're healthy until they're not." "We heal in community. We're all hardwired for connection." Jamie Vinck shares her journey from corporate HR to behavioral health leadership, highlighting the realities of addiction, coping mechanisms, and life transitions. She unpacks how trauma, stress, and even success can mask addiction — and how finding a healthy outlet can be the catalyst for real healing and lasting transformation. 5 Key Takeaways 1. Redefining Addiction Addiction is not about willpower; it's a chronic disease with biological and psychological components. Misconceptions about addiction can delay treatment and increase stigma. Understanding addiction's complexity helps us become better allies and support systems. 2. Cross-Addiction is Real Switching from one addiction (e.g., opioids) to another (e.g., gambling or shopping) is common. The brain seeks dopamine, not the specific substance. Healthy coping mechanisms must be intentional and structured. 3. The Danger in Life Transitions Moments like empty nesting, divorce, or job loss can trigger relapse or new addictions. Many people don't see these changes as high risk, but they are. Awareness and preparation during transitions can prevent maladaptive behaviors. 4. Healthy Coping Isn't Always Healthy "Healthy" outlets like work or exercise can become addictions if they harm relationships or self-care. Self-reflection questions (e.g., "Am I hurting anyone?") help determine if habits are problematic. Balance is the key — passion shouldn't overshadow wellbeing. 5. Exposure Creates Possibility In treatment, people are introduced to new passions — journaling, sports, horses, music, and more. Discovery is key to replacing negative patterns with fulfilling practices. The light in someone's eyes when they find joy is a powerful catalyst for growth.

In this episode, host Mardi Winder welcomes renowned master addiction counselor Amber Hollingsworth, the founder of the Hope for Families Recovery Center and creator of the "Put the Shovel Down" YouTube channel, for a powerful and honest conversation about one of the most sensitive and challenging issues that can affect a marriage: addiction.Together, Mardi and Amber tackle the real-life complexities that arise when addiction becomes an unwelcome guest in the family. Amber shares her personal and professional journey, describing how growing up in an addicted family shaped her understanding of these patterns, and how she uses this insight to guide others through the storm. This episode goes beyond the textbook treatment model, revealing the emotional rollercoaster faced by supportive partners: the exhaustion of trying to "parent" your spouse, the guilt that seems unavoidable whether you stay or leave, and the deep changes you undergo as you try to hold everything together.Listeners will hear candid advice on recognizing when an environment has become unsafe, setting healthy boundaries, and resisting the urge to make your children confidants in adult struggles. Amber introduces new concepts like "guiltzentiment", the toxic blend of guilt and resentment many non-addicted partners experience, and emphasizes the critical importance of self-care and reclaiming time for yourself, even when it feels impossible.Whether you're considering leaving an addicted spouse, struggling with the impacts on your kids, or just searching for understanding and next steps, this episode provides valuable, actionable strategies and reassurance that your needs matter too. It's an honest, compassionate look at the real issues behind addiction and divorce, and a reminder that hope, recovery, and self-respect are within reach.About the Guest:Amber Hollingsworth is a master addiction counselor, founder of Hope For Families Recovery Center, and creator of the YouTube channel Put The Shovel Down.

Do you leave social gatherings feeling utterly drained, as if you've absorbed everyone else's stress, sadness, or tension? Do you find yourself constantly over-helping or trying to "fix" others, only to end up exhausted? Or do everyday stimuli like bright lights, loud noises, or scratchy fabrics overwhelm you in ways others simply don't understand? If these resonate, you may be navigating life as a highly sensitive person, an empath, or both. In this episode of The Language of Love Conversations, I sit down with Dr. Judith Orloff, a UCLA-trained psychiatrist, empath, and New York Times bestselling author. Known as the "godmother of the empath movement," she beautifully bridges science, intuition, and energy medicine. Her acclaimed books include The Empath's Survival Guide, The Genius of Empathy, Emotional Freedom, and her new children's book, The Highly Sensitive Rabbit. We explore what it truly means to be an empath (and how it differs from being highly sensitive), why empaths are frequently misdiagnosed with sensory processing disorder, and why this growing wave of sensitive souls is precisely what our world needs right now. Dr. Orloff shares her personal journey growing up in a medical family that dismissed her intuitive gifts and how she learned to honor them instead of suppressing them. This empowering conversation covers practical tools to protect your energy, set heart-centered boundaries, and thrive without closing your heart. We discuss raising empathic children in an overwhelming world, the connection between unacknowledged sensitivity and issues like addiction or autoimmune conditions, and simple daily practices like breathwork, earthing, grounding, visualization, and energetic cord-cutting (when you're truly ready). We dive deep into: The true meaning of being an empath vs. a highly sensitive person Different types of empaths and their unique experiences Why empaths are often misdiagnosed (with anxiety, depression, sensory processing issues, or physical illness) The profound gifts of empathy How emotional and physical energies get absorbed and how to release them Essential boundaries, grounding, and shielding techniques The power (and caution) of energetic cord-cutting Why there are more empaths today than ever before, including links to trauma and the rise of "adult-onset" empaths Raising empathic and highly sensitive children and why they need space to thrive How empathic children may soon lead the world Spotting empathic traits in kids (even though all children have some empathy) Coping with overwhelm through addictions vs. healthier self-care paths Empaths in relationships: avoiding love-bombing, narcissists, and learning to voice your needs Five essential daily practices to stay grounded as an empath If you're feeling drawn to Judith's work, explore her classic The Empath's Survival Guide: Life Strategies for Sensitive People (with its invaluable self-assessment quiz) and her empowering new children's book The Highly Sensitive Rabbit, a tender story to help young sensitive hearts feel seen and strong.

With Dr Sohail Jannesari. In this episode we look at the intersecting worlds of sanctuary-seeking and mental health. We consider how refugees, asylum seekers and other people on the move don't just survive displacement, but rather build strength, community, and new ways of coping that challenge everything we know about mental health.  We talk about the global apartheid of borders, how histories of colonialism have shaped mental health services today, and what a more pluralistic ‘marginal psychology' can offer us instead. We discuss the concept of sumud, trauma as interrupted movement, and why joy, play and the erotic can all help to inform a new, decolonial approach to mental health.

In this episode, I sit down with Krista, winner of the Jeffrey Award for Most Tragic FKT, to talk about what might be the happiest tragic FKT of all time. We start with the infamous double Tahoe Rim Trail effort, an adventure that was never officially recognized, never really meant to be an FKT, and somehow still earned an award. From there, the conversation spirals in the best possible way.We get into thru-hiking origins, trail names, COVID-era Appalachian Trail chaos, living in vehicles, selling bikes in Poland, walking across Europe, scary moments on trail, bear encounters, ultra running detours, and the strange emotional comedown that follows big goals. Krista is thoughtful, honest, funny, and self-aware in a way that makes this episode feel less like an interview and more like two people trying to understand why we keep choosing hard, inconvenient adventures.We also accidentally pitch a thru-hiker assisted living facility, question the economics of adventure, and agree that sometimes the process matters more than the recognition.

We talk about why this book is needed, what it took to bring together more than 20 contributors, and why integrating these models can create more options, more flexibility, and more hope for clients.  We talk about: Bringing together 21 contributors and creating a true community project Why integration can help when clients get stuck in one modality The idea that there is a natural, underlying healing process beyond any single model  Coping skills, resourcing, and the diverging views on when and how to use them  Joanne's "fire drill" and using IFS to work with therapist countertransference  Why strong foundational training in both IFS and EMDR matters before integrating them  The belief that there is no "perfect model," and that relationship and Self Energy matter most  There's a lot of heart here, a lot of theory, and a lot of love for clients, the field, and each other. I'm excited for you to listen, and be sure to catch my extended interview with them over on Substack. About the Guests Bruce Hersey, LCSW is widely recognized for his work integrating EMDR and IFS.

In this episode of 8 Self‑Care Practices for Times of Injustice and Rising Fascism — we dive into self‑compassion, and how it can support you when old coping habits like emotional eating, numbing, late‑night eating, or eating for comfort show up. I unpack the nervous‑system science for how self‑criticism triggers stress responses and how (on the flipside) self‑compassion literally calms your body and nervous system, helping you think clearly and respond intentionally rather than reactively . I share real examples from my own journey and how noticing without judgment and asking "What do I actually need?" changes everything. This isn't self‑care fluff. It's much needed support and medicine. Press play. xo Brenda ps.

At some point in your career as a therapist, the work begins to shift. You may feel a quiet pull to share what you've learned beyond the therapy room but feel unsure what that means or whether you're "qualified" to teach. In this episode, I explore the transition from clinician to educator and why this identity shift can feel both exciting and uncomfortable. I talk about common myths therapists hold about teaching, ethical considerations, visibility, and how stepping into an educator role doesn't require a new certification or a major career change. If you're a mid-career or seasoned clinician curious about teaching, mentoring, or continuing education, this episode is an invitation to notice the pull and explore it with clarity and confidence.

Have you ever felt like you have done everything "right" and you still hit a stress ceiling? You have gone to therapy, set boundaries, practiced self-care, learned regulation, and yet you still find yourself snapping, shutting down, or running on empty. This episode explores what it can look like to move beyond coping and into true emotional capacity. Not a life without stress, but a wider internal ability to meet life as it is, without collapsing into burnout or disconnection. In this episode of Trauma Rewired, co-hosts Elisabeth Kristof (founder of BrainBased.com and the Neurosomatic Intelligence Coaching Certification) and Jennifer Wallace (Neurosomatic Psychedelic Preparation and Integration Guide, founder of Sacred Synapse) are joined by RaQuel Hopkins, a therapist and certified coach known for her work on capacity and adult development. Together, they unpack the difference between resilience, distress tolerance, and capacity, why "regulation" can sometimes become suppression, and how relating to emotions as data can create more choice. They also explore boundaries through the lens of self-trust, and why honoring "I do not want to" can be a meaningful step toward recovery and growth.   Timestamps: 00:00 – Why "doing everything right" can still feel like a ceiling 06:30 – What capacity means (and why it is about who you become) 14:30 – Resilience vs distress tolerance vs capacity 23:30 – Emotional strength, fragility, and the regulation misconception 34:30 – Boundaries, self-trust, and choice vs depletion 46:30 – Protective emotions, curiosity, and integration 56:30 – Corporate environments, pressure, and being human at work 1:03:00 – Closing reflections and where to find RaQuel 1:05:30 – Listener invitation and next steps (trial + workshop) Key Takeaways: Capacity is not just "holding more." It can be about meeting life as it is and adapting without losing yourself. Regulation is not the same thing as calm. It is about modulation and appropriate responsiveness. Emotional strength includes feeling emotions without being defined by them. Emotions can be information, not directives. A "hard no" can sometimes be a signal of depletion, not clarity. Self-trust can reduce the need to announce boundaries. Protective patterns once helped you survive. Growth can start with curiosity rather than judgment.

Queer relationships and sample crush rejection coping (perceptions, anger, feeling led on)

In Episode 10, Kim opens Season Two by breaking down procrastination in a way most people have never heard it explained before. This episode isn't about productivity, discipline, or time management. It's about emotional risk, fragile self-esteem, and the identities we built in childhood to survive. Kim explains why procrastination shows up around the things that matter most. Big conversations. Creative work. Boundaries. Healing. Growth. And why avoidance isn't laziness. It's protection. Drawing from attachment theory, trauma, neurobiology, and her own lived experience, Kim connects procrastination to emotional attunement, identity, shutdown, people-pleasing, catastrophizing, and the fear of inner collapse. She also explains why insight alone doesn't change behavior, and what actually has to shift for real movement to happen. –––––––––––––––––– Time Stamps & Topics 00:00 – Rage, triggers, and decades of stored emotional memory 00:25 – Why feeling misunderstood cuts so deeply 00:52 – Procrastination isn't about time management 01:22 – Emotional risk vs practical difficulty 01:50 – Personal example: writing a first book 02:29 – Procrastination around hard conversations 03:01 – Mistakes, shame, and fragile self-esteem 03:59 – Inner collapse and identity threat 05:04 – Why systems learn to avoid emotional danger 05:28 – What self-esteem actually is (and isn't) 05:51 – Self-esteem as emotional resilience 06:25 – Emotional attunement explained 06:44 – Empathy vs shared experience 07:37 – Why "they'll never understand me" isn't true 08:10 – Childhood emotional neglect and minimization 09:14 – Avoidant coping and jumping to solutions 09:57 – Why being sat with matters 10:27 – Religion, conflict avoidance, and emotional bypassing 11:30 – Biology of trauma and implicit memory 12:33 – Adoption, abandonment, and cognitive bias 13:46 – Anger as a lifelong trigger 14:52 – Suppression vs expression of emotion 15:41 – Coping mechanisms and shutdown 16:24 – Anxious vs avoidant responses in conflict 17:09 – Self-esteem and "what happens when something goes wrong" 18:28 – Catastrophizing and control 19:13 – Why anxiety feels protective 20:00 – Avoidance as nervous system safety 21:25 – Silence, minimization, and relational procrastination 23:14 – Childhood roles: good child, peacemaker, achiever 24:38 – Survival strategies vs self-esteem 25:27 – Relational procrastination and suppressed anger 26:25 – Waiting until you're angry to speak 27:08 – Walking on eggshells and staying silent 28:02 – Triggers as accumulated implicit memory 29:12 – Why your partner isn't the whole cause 30:07 – Shutdown as self-protection, not punishment 31:05 – Why insight doesn't change behavior 31:56 – Awareness without emotional capacity 32:23 – Cognitive vs behavioral change 33:11 – Reframing hard conversations 33:56 – Procrastination in personal growth and healing 35:02 – Childhood identities and family roles 36:16 – How family freezes you in old identities 37:35 – Why growth feels threatening 38:05 – Holding competing emotions about parents 39:22 – Letting go of old identities 40:05 – Why growth feels risky, not empowering 41:18 – What actually reduces procrastination 41:46 – Emotional regulation and self-trust 42:09 – Questions to ask yourself about avoidance 43:16 – Tasks that carry emotional weight 43:44 – Identity disruption and behavior change 44:31 – Alcohol, belonging, and identity shifts 44:58 – Pay attention to what you avoid 45:26 – What avoidance is protecting –––––––––––––––––– This episode is especially relevant if you feel stuck despite insight, avoid hard conversations, or keep postponing the things that matter most to you.

River shares how various art forms have served as coping mechanisms for her over the years--from her poetry to her visual art--and how creation is not only a response to, but an antidote to destruction. She also shares two poems from her beautiful book of poetry, Still River.To learn more about River, or to follow River's artistic journey, find her on Instagram. You can also grab any of her books at her next live show!For behind-the-scenes information and more about Journey of an Artist, visit the Journey of Series official webpage, or follow Emmeline on social media at @EmmelineMusic.

What if burnout, overthinking, and emotional exhaustion aren't mindset problems—but system failures?In this powerful episode of Mindset Mastery Moments, Dr. Alisa Whyte sits down with Micov Bogdan, a human system architect who challenges everything we've been taught about healing, performance, and personal growth. This conversation moves beyond motivation and mindset hacks and dives into identity-level transformation—where emotional baggage, internal friction, and subconscious sabotage are not managed, but deleted.You'll hear why coping has become a socially acceptable addiction, how high performers unknowingly use productivity as emotional armor, and why calm—not hustle—is the real power move. This episode exposes why traditional self-help often keeps people stuck in cycles of effort without freedom and what it truly takes to rebuild your internal system from the ground up.If you're high-functioning but exhausted… successful but restless… productive yet unfulfilled—this conversation will disrupt you in the best way.This isn't about doing more. It's about finally removing what no longer belongs.

You are never wrong for being worried about your child. You are allowed to ask questions, ask for help, and ask for another set of eyes. Advocacy is not confrontation, it is care. And the doctors caring for your family are human too, carrying both expertise and emotion into every room they enter. In this episode, I sit down with pediatric ER physician and creator Dr. Beachgem for a wide-ranging, honest conversation about what families often misunderstand about emergency care, how to advocate for yourself and your child in the hospital, and what it really looks like to practice medicine on both sides of the stretcher. And yes, we also talk about The Pitt, why it resonates so deeply with healthcare workers, and why humanizing medicine matters more than ever. We discuss: • What pediatric ER doctors really want parents to know before walking into the ER • Why waiting in the ER does not mean no one cares • How and when to advocate for a second opinion in the hospital • What “Condition H” or rapid response means for patients and families • How social media has changed how doctors listen to patients • Why ER doctors often see risk differently than outpatient pediatricians • Common injuries ER doctors wish families understood better • The emotional toll of emergency medicine and how clinicians cope • Why humanizing doctors matters for the future of healthcare • What gives hope in a system that feels broken To connect with Dr. Beachgem follow her on Instagram @dr.beachgem10 and check out all her resources at linktr.ee/beachgem10  00:00 – The emotional weight ER doctors carry01:00 – Why this episode, and why The Pitt hits so hard02:40 – What medical dramas get right (and wrong) about the ER03:45 – Meet Dr. Beachgem, training, career, and why she creates content07:30 – Burnout, misinformation, and why showing up online matters09:20 – Advocacy as a patient, when speaking up saves lives12:50 – Condition H and how to ask for a second opinion in the hospital14:05 – What parents often misunderstand about ER wait times16:15 – Triage explained, why waiting doesn't mean no one cares18:15 – Risk colored glasses, injuries ER doctors never forget22:00 – Trampolines, e-bikes, helmets, and real-world safety patterns26:10 – Why The Pitt humanizes medicine better than most shows31:00 – COVID flashbacks, grief, and emotional survival in the ER36:35 – Coping with loss, compartmentalization, and burnout43:30 – What gives ER doctors hope, and a message for parents Our podcasts are also now on YouTube.
