Do you have a teen who feels everything deeply—who's easily overwhelmed, deeply compassionate, or just needs more downtime than others?Have you ever wondered whether your child's sensitivity is actually a superpower rather than a weakness? In this heartfelt conversation, Dr. Judith Orloff, psychiatrist, empath, and New York Times bestselling author, joins Colleen O'Grady to explore how parents can understand and support their highly sensitive teens. Dr. Orloff shares how sensitivity and empathy—often misunderstood—are powerful traits that can help teens grow into caring, grounded adults when they have the right support. From defining what it means to be an empath, to setting healthy emotional boundaries, to helping sensitive teens manage overwhelm, Dr. Orloff offers practical wisdom for parents and heartfelt encouragement for anyone raising a deeply feeling child. Together, Colleen and Dr. Orloff discuss how sensitivity can be both a gift and a challenge, and how moms can nurture these qualities without taking on too much themselves. Guest Bio: Dr. Judith Orloff Dr. Judith Orloff is a psychiatrist on the UCLA Psychiatric Clinical Faculty and a New York Times bestselling author whose books include The Genius of Empathy, The Empath's Survival Guide, and her newest children's book, The Highly Sensitive Rabbit. She specializes in helping highly sensitive people and empaths thrive in an often overwhelming world. Dr. Orloff has spoken at the American Psychiatric Association, Google, Fortune's Most Powerful Women Summit, and TEDx, and her work has been featured in The New York Times, O, The Oprah Magazine, USA Today, Teen Vogue, and Scientific American.

Sometimes the best thing you can do for your business… is slow down. In this episode, I open up about the season of pressing pause — after a launch that didn't go to plan — and what it taught me about simplicity, alignment, and reimagining what success really looks like. From navigating motherhood and loss to rethinking my offers and reigniting ideas I'd tucked away for years, this chat is an honest look at what happens when you stop trying to "do it all" and start creating space for what truly lights you up. If you've ever felt like you're juggling too much, questioning your next move, or wondering what's next for your business… this one's for you. ✨ Listen in for: • Lessons from a launch that flopped — and why that's okay • How creating space can spark your best ideas • What simplicity and alignment look like in real life • The reminder that you don't have to wait for the "new year" to start again If you enjoyed the episode, I'd love for you to share this on your Instagram stories and tag me @ashleybostonhq.    Follow me on Instagram  https://www.instagram.com/ashleybostonhq/   Check out episodes  https://www.ashleybostonhq.com/podcast   Find out more about how you can work with me  https://www.ashleybostonhq.com   Ash x

How do you know when you’re ready to commit? Do you think love alone is enough? Marriage isn’t a destination, it’s a daily practice. It’s the ongoing choice to show up, grow, and recommit to each other through every season of change. In this special compilation, Jay brings together powerful insights from Jada Pinkett Smith, relationship coach Sadia Khan, psychotherapist Lori Gottlieb, and his own reflections with Radhi. Together, they explore how lasting love isn’t built on fleeting chemistry, but on emotional resilience, self-awareness, and the courage to evolve, side by side. Jada shares how marriage can be a spiritual journey, where your partner reflects both your light and your flaws, guiding you toward unconditional love and deeper healing. Sadia reveals the often-overlooked truths about infidelity, self-control, and discipline, reminding us that love cannot thrive without trust. Lori highlights the power of honest communication, from setting boundaries with in-laws to having the tough conversations about money, marriage, and children before it’s too late. In this episode, you'll learn: How to Build Emotional Resilience in Marriage How to Heal and Grow Through Partnership How to Spot Signs of Emotional Distance How to Create Space for Emotional Openness How to Recommit as Your Partner Evolves Every relationship faces challenges, but those moments can become powerful opportunities for growth when met with compassion and openness. The true beauty of love lies in the willingness to listen, to learn, and to keep building something real, together. With Love and Gratitude, Jay Shetty.

On the Secret Witch Show today, Nicole is naming the Oracle Witch within - the part of us with ‘spiritual brilliance' who sees clearly, hears guidance, feels truth, and simply knows things that others don't. As the veil thins toward Samhain, she speaks to the Secret Witch who's been taught that logic is what matters and has learned to second-guess her intuition, hide her gifts, or doubt the unseen. With tenderness and truth, Nicole invites us to remember our innate connection to other worlds - and shares the ‘Clear Quartz crystal' medicine that amplifies what's already within. In this episode we explore how Clear Quartz (the ‘Master Healer') as an archetypal essence helps us move from overthinking and control into embodied spiritual clarity - reclaiming our ‘Clairs' (clairvoyance, clairaudience, clairsentience, claircognisance) and trusting the Oracle wisdom in our bones. Nicole maps the shadow of over-reliance on logic, honours the wounds that made us dim our brilliance, and offers simple practices and enquiries to rebuild self-trust. It's a seasonal rite of remembrance - and a gentle invitation into October's Apothecary journey with Clear Quartz for those who feel the resonance. What You'll Learn from this Episode: Your ‘Oracle' gifts aren't non-existent - they're ‘hidden'. Doubt and second-guessing come from conditioning that taught you that ‘logic' is superior. Your ‘Clairs' (seeing, hearing, feeling, knowing) are recoverable - with practice and compassion Clear Quartz amplifies the Oracle gifts already in you. As the Archetypal Remedy of brilliance and clarity, she doesn't add something new - she magnifies your inner knowing and mirrors the truth so you can finally trust yourself Over-reliance on logic can be a wound. When safety has meant “prove it,” we overthink, control, and disconnect from the body - that's a survival strategy, not your truth, and it's exactly what Clear Quartz helps to heal Gold = the alchemy of intuition and intellect. We are not being asked to reject logic and science; we're invited to weave it with body wisdom so our spiritual and intellectual brilliance can work together as one coherent clarity - true healing is science and art. Samhain is a threshold for trust. With the veil thin, it's an ideal season to practise listening for signs, synchronicities and bodily nudges - begin with small playful ‘intuition' experiments (note them, track them) and rebuild self-trust. Start simple: inquire, feel, record. Ask where you override resonance, where you hide brilliance, and when an intuition is proved true, journal these ‘evidence' moments to soothe the rational mind and reclaim your inner Oracle Witch.

On the Secret Witch Show today our guest is Sarah Robinson. Sarah is an Author and Yoga Teacher based in the green outskirts of Bath, UK. She is fascinated by myth, magic and folklore; which is evident in her books which include the bestselling Kitchen Witch: Food, Folklore and Fairy Tale, the Witch and the Wildwood, and the upcoming Witch Country: Seeking the Witch in the British Landscape – flying out on Samhain 2025 - all published by Womancraft Publishing. Sarah loves exploring the power of myth, magic and story in both her writing and yoga teaching, and is passionate about helping everyone connect to their own special magic and inner power. In this episode we explore how the land can be a living remedy - how it holds our stories, reflects our wounds, and helps us remember the Witch within. Sarah shares her journey of rewilding wonder and rooting back into the magic of the British Isles, offering reflections on the spirit of place, ancestral grief, seasonal rhythm, and the healing power of story. We speak to what it means to be held by land and lore, how myth helps us navigate modern overwhelm and disconnection, and why there is no ‘right' way to find your magic. This is a conversation for the Witch who longs to belong, and is ready to remember - via the land - that you already do. What You'll Learn from this Episode: The ‘land' - aka the wild - acts as a living mirror, reflecting our inner wounds, wonder, and wisdom - places are remedies! We don't need to travel far to find magic - unless we choose to - we belong right where we are, and we can take steps to reconnect to ourselves in our local lands Stories, myths, and folklore live within the land, waiting to be heard There is no one ‘right' way to be a witch or walk the land with reverence - however we do, we can learn and heal Places of grief and wounding hold powerful medicine when we're willing to listen and face the truth Magic begins with presence - start where you are and let the land speak to you - you might be surprised what you learn.

In today's episode, Nicole explores the four distinct energies that Secret Witches often move through when making life choices - Scarecity, Frenzy, Resistance, and Soul. These subtle but powerful states shape how we choose our path as witches - whether from fear and urgency, or from deep alignment with our inner truth. This episode is an invitation for the woman standing at a threshold, longing to say Yes to her magic, but unsure how to discern a Soul Yes from a shadow-driven No. Nicole lovingly unpacks how to begin choosing life from Soul alignment, not wounding - sharing the felt difference between reactivity and resonance, and how to listen to your body as a compass. She offers practical tools and powerful reflection to help you notice (and lovingly welcome) the fear that drives your decisions - and guides you home to the part of you that knows how to choose from truth. If you've been hovering between longing and fear, wondering whether to trust the call of your Witch, this one is for you. What You'll Learn from this Episode: Choosing from fear is not wrong - it's a learned protection. Scarecity, Frenzy and Resistance are old survival patterns, not your truth. And they're not stop signs - they're a call to heal Our Soul Yes won't always feel easy - but it will feel true. It may come wrapped in fear, but underneath is resonance, aliveness, and a deep body-knowing We are always choosing - whether consciously or unconsciously - and recognising that is the beginning of reclaiming our power Soul alignment is rarely comfortable - but it's deeply alive. Our body may tremble, the mind may question, but if it's truly soul-aligned, it will nourish us, not deplete us Resistance isn't a No - it's a sacred pause. It often arises when our soul is whispering Yes, but our wounds aren't yet sure it's safe to trust it. That's normal - and that too can be loved, and chosen differently We don't need to wait until we are fully healed to begin. Choosing from soul is the beginning of our healing. This is how we stop searching for the remedy and become it.

On the Secret Witch Show today, Nicole is illuminating the tender ache that arises when witches dare to want - and then feel unworthy to receive it. This episode is a healing invocation for the women who are opening to name their true desires - only to find shame, doubt, and old fear flooding in. It's for the sensitive-hearted magic-makers who have danced with their longings, but still hesitate at the threshold of letting them come in. In this episode, we explore why desire is sacred (not selfish), how the Witch uses longing as a compass, and what it really takes to receive what we've called in - without burning out, bypassing your body, or shrinking into unworthiness. Nicole weaves the radiant flame of Archetypal Phosphorus through the journey of feminine creation, sharing somatic wisdom, soul stories, and a liberating reframe of manifestation as a state of being. If you've been hovering at the edge of your deepest longing to create a life as a healer witch, this one is for you. What You'll Learn from this Episode: Desire isn't selfish - it's sacred. It's how our inner Witch whispers “this way” to our soul. Naming what we truly want is a powerful spell to create it. Shaming our desires drains our life-force. Suppression doesn't keep us safe - it keeps us sick. Manifesting our desires is actually a return to health and vitality. You're already manifesting - always. The question is, are you creating from your soul, or from your unconscious wounding? If you've experienced trauma, receiving might feel unsafe - but it's not our fault. Our body learned to protect us this way. And now, our healing begins by gently opening again. The feminine body is built to receive - but how safe do you feel in unapologetic pleasure, in asking for what you need, in being seen in your desires? Desire is our birthright - not something we earn when you're finally ‘worthy enough'. The Witch within you already knows she is worthy of a life that lights her up.

At Gen Con this year, we kicked off Ascension's 15-year anniversary celebration. I had the chance to meet so many fans who have been part of this community for over a decade; the experience was both humbling and rewarding.We just launched the Gamefound Campaign for the Ascension 15th Anniversary Collector's Edition and I've been reflecting on the incredible journey that brought us here. What began as a casual prototype I created to play with friends between rounds of Magic tournaments has grown into a game that connects millions of players around the world.Here are the five most important lessons I've learned, each has transformed Ascension from a prototype to a global phenomenon.Lesson 1: Prototype and Iterate FastWhen I first started working on Ascension, I never expected it to become the success it is today. It was 2009, and I had just quit my job to start my own game company. The funny thing about starting a company is that until you're making money and collaborating with others, the difference between “CEO/Game Designer” and “guy sitting on his couch” is mostly a matter of attitude.At the time, I had spent over a hundred hours playing the deckbuilding game Dominion. This game pioneered the genre, offering the fun of deckbuilding without the hassle of collecting cards. As a Magic: The Gathering Pro, I loved that it delivered the joy of constructing a deck without buying packs or managing a collection. Eventually, however, the game became predictable. Because each setup of available cards was fixed from the start, I rarely needed to change my strategy. I also found that the game took too long to set up, impacting the ratio of fun to busy work in a way I thought could be improved.The secret to creating Ascension was simple: remove the things from Dominion that get in the way of fun.My first prototype was literally just a shuffled pile of Dominion cards, which instantly cut 20 minutes off setup time. Mind you, this prototype wasn't good, but it gave me a quick sense of how the gameplay might feel, and I could see a spark of something great there. My next prototype was nothing more than sharpie scribbles on blank cards. Since my prototypes were quick and ugly, I had no problem throwing them out and making rapid changes. That freedom allowed Ascension to go from idea to store shelves in under 18 months.The lesson: Your first prototype should be so ugly you're embarrassed to show it to anyone. That embarrassment is freedom—freedom to fail fast, change everything, and find the fun without falling in love with your first ideas.Lesson 2: When in Doubt, Cut it outMost new designers try to solve problems by adding things to their games. The correct answer is almost always to cut instead.Ascension started by cutting Dominion's purchase and play restrictions. This streamlined the game and gave players more choices each turn, but also required me to add a second resource [power] to keep tension high. This change was just the start, the biggest cut came much later in development.Ascension's signature innovation was the ever changing center row, which dramatically increased the variety in each game. At the same time, this mechanic also created the risk of a stalled board state, meaning that if players weren't able to buy anything from the center, nothing would change and the game would drag on. My original solution was a “conveyor belt” mechanic, where, at the end of each turn, the rightmost card was banished and everything slid down. This guaranteed movement and created tension as cards neared the edge.The problem was that players kept forgetting to slide the cards down. Every. Single. Game.I tried everything: special cards that interacted with the conveyor belt, giant reminder text on the board, entire mechanics to make sliding feel essential. Nothing worked. Then one playtester asked the question that should have been obvious but I was blind to: "What if we just cut that rule?"We shuffled up, played without it, and never looked back. The game was cleaner, faster, and more fun. Did the board stall occasionally? Yes, but we could mitigate that by subtly adjusting card costs and adding banish effects players could buy when needed. In this case, the conveyor belt cure was far worse than the occasional stalled board disease.The lesson: Every mechanic costs mental energy. When facing a design challenge, always ask first: "What can I eliminate to solve this problem?" Remember, "dead now" doesn't mean "dead forever." Cut mechanics make great expansion content later.Lesson 3: Perfect Your Pitch Through RepetitionEvery game needs a killer hook, and the only way to find it is through repetition. Brutal, exhausting repetition.I learned this the hard way at my first Gen Con booth, where we sold the first copies of Ascension 15 years ago. Over the course of the show, you pitch the game a hundred times. You refine, adjust, and figure out what works. By the end, I could pitch and demo Ascension in my sleep. I knew exactly how to get someone hooked, and the moment I no longer needed to be there (for Ascension, it's usually turn three, when players start seeing the new cards they purchased and get excited about improving their decks).Whenever possible, use things your audience already knows as a reference, combine two familiar concepts, or give a twist to something they've seen before. You need to get information about your target audience and customize the pitch to them. Once they're hooked, you can guide them into a demo and, hopefully, into buying the game and sharing it with friends.In 2010, if I knew my audience played Magic, my go-to pitch was:“Imagine all the fun of drafting card packs in Magic, all with just one lifetime purchase.”If they were familiar with Dominion, an effective pitch was:“Ascension is like Dominion, but with a fun fantasy theme and you can play an entire game in the time it takes to set up a game of Dominion.”If they weren't familiar with either game category, I would usually start with a more theme forward pitch:“Ascension is a 30 minute card game where you recruit mighty heroes and weapons to defeat monsters and earn honor.”At first, pitching this way feels awkward. You have to train yourself to read the audience, adapt, and take feedback from their reactions. The best games also make it easy for players to teach friends, and those people become your best marketers. The more you practice pitching and running live demos, the more it will shape your design choices, helping you create games that are not only fun to play, but also fun to learn and teach.The lesson: Practice pitching your game early and often. Alex Yeager's 2-2-2 demo framework is a fantastic tool for game designers (you can hear more about it on my podcast with Alex here). Whether you need a two-sentence pitch, a two-minute overview, or a two-player demo, tailoring the level of detail to your audience is key. This approach prevents overwhelming your audience with too much information at once while still providing a clear and concise introduction to your game.Lesson 4: Know Your Core Tension and Protect ItEvery great game revolves around one central tension that hooks players.* In Uno, you're trying to empty your hand without unlocking your opponents' cards.* In chess, you protect your king while threatening your opponent's king.* In poker, you want to win the pot but must risk chips without knowing what others hold.* In Magic: The Gathering, the one-land-per-turn restriction forces agonizing tradeoffs about which spells to cast.For Ascension, the core tension is this: adapting to an ever-changing market while your opponents threaten to snatch the exact cards you need.The game sings when there are multiple exciting cards supporting your strategy, but your opponent might grab them first. Every choice matters because the board state is temporary. Purchasing a Mechana construct early makes each successive mechana construct better, but if your opponent cuts you off from the cards you need then your strategy could fall apart.Understanding this core tension has guided 15 years of expansions. Every new mechanic is built to enhance this central dynamic, but never replace it. Our newest expansion, Ascension Legends, turns faction choice into a higher-stakes decision than ever with the Legendary Track system. As you climb each faction's track, you unlock powerful bonuses. Suddenly, that “meh” Lifebound hero becomes essential because it pushes you toward a game-breaking legendary power. Multi-faction cards become contested treasures. The tension ratchets up, but the heart of Ascension remains intact.In the 15th anniversary campaign, I've designed an entirely new card type that impacts every game called Chronicles. Chronicle cards were an interesting challenge to design, because I wanted to make something that honored Ascension's history, impacts every game, and could work with whatever expansion(s) you chose to play it with. But I've always believed constraints breed creativity and these constraints were no exception. There are 17 Chronicle cards available in this campaign. At the start of the game, you can select any two of them and set them beside the center row. Each one adds a new game rule or unique cards to the game. Each of these 17 cards was designed to highlight one of our previous expansions and compress its impact on the core tension into a single effect. Because they are promos and players can opt in to which ones they want to play with, I also felt more free to make more powerful abilities that I would never put into a normal set. For example, one card representing Darkness Unleashed, where we first introduced transforming cards, adds the rule: “At the start of the game, each player removes one Apprentice and one Militia from their Starting Deck and Transforms them into one Mystic and one Heavy Infantry.” These cards are a great way to radically shake up the game and have some fun reevaluating old cards and strategies in the light of new mechanics. You can learn more about the new card type in our update here.The lesson: Identify your game's core tension in one or two sentences. Write it down. Frame it. Before adding any new mechanic, ask: "Does this enhance or dilute our core?" As your game inevitably grows more complex, staying true to its core ensures it evolves in the right direction.Think Like A Game Designer is a reader-supported publication.

"Ascension has become our special thing. We play together almost every night, and it's given us this amazing way to connect."His daughter beamed and jumped into the conversation, eager to tell me about her favorite faction (lifebound) and the strategies she'd discovered.What struck me wasn't just their enthusiasm—it was the math. She wasn't even born when Ascension first released in 2010. Yet here she was, fifteen years later, experiencing the same joy of discovery that's captivated players from day one. That's when I realized we hadn't just created a game—we'd built something that bridges generations.From the beginning, Ascension was deliberately designed to feel less confrontational than other strategy games. You're not attacking other players—you're all racing toward your own goals while your opponent does the same. Only the shared center row and occasional monster effect encourage direct competition.This makes Ascension approachable to partners, friends, and family members who might be intimidated by more aggressive games. I've heard from hundreds of players who say Ascension was their entry point into tabletop gaming. Even the partner of a hardcore gamer can enjoy Ascension because even when you lose, you still get to build something cool and feel progression throughout the game.This design philosophy has created a community where parents can genuinely enjoy playing with their children, where couples can bond over evening games, and where someone whose only card game experience is Uno can sit down and have fun within minutes. The rules are simple enough to teach quickly, but the strategy is deep enough to reward returning players.The secret to lasting community is making everyone feel welcome at the table. Even competitive card games like Magic have benefited enormously from more social formats like Commander which allow new players to enjoy the experience without as much direct conflict. Even for SolForge Fusion, the game I co-created with Richard Garfield as a very competitive game, we created a campaign mode and storyline tournaments that make players allies against a common cause, helping them root for each other and take on challenges that are less directly antagonistic with other players.The lesson: Your game's community will outlive any individual player if you design it to include rather than exclude, to welcome rather than intimidate, and to create shared positive experiences rather than zero-sum conflicts. Think about how your design allows players of different skill levels to enjoy the journey together. The best victories are the ones you can celebrate with the person across the table, not at their expense.Fifteen years ago, I was just a guy on a couch with a dream and a Sharpie. Today, Ascension connects hundreds of thousands of players across the world—parents and children, partners and friends, veterans and newcomers. As we launch our 15th anniversary campaign on Gamefound, featuring exclusive anniversary editions and the brand-new designs, I'm not just grateful for the game we've built. I'm grateful for the community you've helped us create.I am beyond grateful for the community that has supported the last 15 years, and I can't wait to continue to grow together over the next 15!Join our 15th anniversary celebration at Gamefound and get exclusive anniversary rewards available nowhere else.— Justin Gary This is a public episode.

When you intentionally create the right space with the right people, magic happens. Chris and I both just got back from trips that reminded us how powerful the right container, the right people, and the right intentions can be. For me, it was my twice-a-year mastermind with some of the most brilliant women I was once too scared to even ask to join me. For Chris, it was a five day road trip up the California coast with his mom and brother, a twist on a family tradition that sparked priceless conversations. In this episode, we share why creating intentional spaces for connection leads to breakthroughs you just can't get any other way, how to start your own version (no matter where you are), and the surprising ripple effects these gatherings have on your business, pricing, confidence, and network.

It's easy to say you're “too busy” or “too tired” because of the job. But what if the truth is… you're hiding? In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton dive into the hard truth about how the uniform can become emotional armor—and how some first responders use it to avoid dealing with what's going on at home (Amazon Affiliate), in relationships, and within themselves.

Music helped former Talking Heads frontman David Byrne come out of his shell and connect with others—and research shows he's not alone. We explore the science behind how music shapes our social lives.Summary: Musician and artist David Byrne reflects on how music opened his world as a shy kid, offering both an outlet and a sense of belonging. We delve into the science behind music's social power and how it can offer both personal transformation and collective healing.How To Do This Practice: Tune Into What Moves You: Think back to the first songs or sounds that made you feel something—excitement, belonging, or wonder. Create a playlist that reflects those emotions or moments. Create Space to Listen Deeply: Put away distractions and really listen. Whether it's on a walk, lying down, or with headphones. Let the rhythm, lyrics, or mood take you somewhere new. Use Music as a Mirror: Notice how the music reflects your mood, identity, or desires. Ask yourself: What is this music helping me feel or understand about myself? Make Music, Even Imperfectly: Play an instrument, sing in the car, hum along. Do whatever feels natural. Self-expression through music doesn't require perfection, only sincerity. Share It With Others: Invite someone to listen with you, send a favorite song to a friend, or sing with a group. Social connection strengthens when we engage in music together. Let Music Move You Into Action or Insight: Reflect on what the music stirs in you. Does it inspire creativity, protest, healing, or joy? Let that feeling guide how you show up in the world.

Send us a textHello you beautiful souls! Thank you for being here, in this episode I dive into why it is important to make space over making plans when trying to manifest things in your life. We all have things that we want to call in to our lives, but are we ready for them? have we made the space we need to hold what we truly desire? Would we even have time in our busy schedules? Creating space is a way we can show the Universe that we are so ready for what we desire. Then the Universe can truly deliver. I love you all so much, xoxo Hannah

Do you feel trapped in the constant cycle of putting out fires, leaving no time or energy to innovate and grow? You're not alone! Innovation isn't just a buzzword reserved for tech startups—it's the lifeblood of every thriving business.

How can we truly believe we're "always enough" while acknowledging we're "never done" growing - especially as mothers who constantly feel inadequate?In this transformative episode of Whinypaluza, host Rebecca Greene sits down with licensed professional counselor and bestselling author Erica Bonham to explore the powerful concept behind her book title "Always Enough, Never Done." Erica, a certified EMDR clinician, trainer, and ketamine-assisted psychotherapist, specializes in serving the LGBTQ community, abuse recovery, and trauma related to social and racial injustice. The conversation delves into nervous system regulation, the challenges of perfectionism in parenting, and how we can break cycles of shame-bound beliefs while supporting our children's sense of self-worth. Erica shares her expertise on EMDR therapy and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy and offers invaluable guidance for parents supporting LGBTQ children. This episode is packed with wisdom about healing trauma, understanding our inherent worthiness, and creating a more inclusive world for our families.5 Key Takeaways ➤ The Paradox of Worthiness: You are "always and already enough, lovable, worthy and inextricably connected to every other living thing on this planet" AND you're in a constant state of growth and evolution - both truths can coexist without contradiction. ➤ Trauma Lives in the Body: Knowledge alone isn't enough to heal trauma because it's stored in the nervous system, not the frontal lobes. This is why body-based approaches like EMDR and somatic practices are essential for lasting change. ➤ Model Self-Compassion for Your Children: The best gift we can give our children is to deconstruct our own shame-bound beliefs first. Children see through our words to our actions and energy - we must genuinely believe in our own worthiness.➤ Create Space for Difficult Conversations: Whether discussing LGBTQ issues, race, or other sensitive topics, approach them with curiosity, acknowledge your learning process, and focus on creating a world where everyone feels safe and valued.➤ Healing is Both Individual and Collective: Personal nervous system regulation and trauma healing directly impact how we show up in relationships and communities, creating a ripple effect that contributes to collective healing.Memorable Quotes from Erica"Trauma doesn't give a shit what we know. Your vagus nerve connects the brain stem to the gut - it doesn't connect to the frontal lobes. So we can know all kinds of things, but when we're activated, all of that goes right out the window.""If you wouldn't say what you're saying to yourself to your daughter, if you wouldn't want that for your child - and if somebody showed up for your kid the way you show up for yourself, you'd be like 'get away from my kid, you're dangerous' - then maybe we need to shift that."How to Reach Erica BonhamWebsite: https://www.avoscounseling.com/ (for signed book copies and coaching packages)Book: "Always Enough, Never Done" (available on Amazon or signed copies via website) Instagram: @avoscounselingFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/avoscounseling/TikTok: @ericabonhamsomaticcoach  YouTube: @ejbonham1207 Learn more about your ad choices.

After building multiple successful businesses, Sabine hit burnout during the COVID-19 pandemic. What followed wasn't a breakdown, it was a breakthrough. She sold her company, her belongings, and moved to a quiet farmhouse in Germany to rediscover what truly mattered. Through solitude, healing, and self-reflection, Sabine found a new definition of success, one rooted in alignment, purpose, and joy. Today, she coaches others through similar transitions, helping them turn burnout into a bridge to something better. This conversation is a must-listen if you're navigating a big life change, questioning your path, or craving a deeper sense of meaning.    You'll learn: Why burnout is often a signal of misalignment, not failure? How Sabine's journey through solitude led to personal healing? The difference between achievement and fulfillment. How to listen to your inner voice when life gets quiet? Why reinvention isn't about starting over, it's about starting wiser? Tools and mindsets for creating a life aligned with your values.   Memorable Quotes: “I had built a successful life, but it didn't feel like mine.” “Stillness gave me answers hustle never could.” “You're not starting over. You're starting wiser.”   Resources & Mentions: Sabine Schoepke's Website:  Explore coaching, programs, and retreats designed to help you realign your life with purpose, peace, and joy. https://www.thepowerlifecoach.com/     Actionable Steps for Listeners: 1. Redefine Success on Your Own Terms Take 15 minutes to journal what aligned success looks like for you, beyond money or job titles. Let purpose lead. 2. Honor the Burnout Signal Feeling off, drained, or restless? Burnout is often a signal, not a failure. Reflect on what your body and spirit are asking you to change. 3. Create Space for Stillness Whether it's a solo walk, a quiet morning, or a weekend away, permit yourself to slow down. That's where clarity finds you. 4. Embrace Reinvention, at Any Age Midlife isn't too late; it's often the perfect time to pivot. Use what you've lived through to guide where you're meant to go. 5. Surround Yourself With Voices That Uplift Whether it's through coaching, community, or content, stay close to people who reflect back your strength, not your fear.   Final Thought: Reinvention doesn't start with a business plan. It starts with a whisper, the one inside you asking, “Is this really the life I want?” Trust that voice. Let it lead you to something more aligned, more joyful, more you.   What listeners have to say: Sabine Schoepke's episode resonates deeply with women navigating career pivots, life transitions, and the emotional weight of burnout. Her story is helping listeners redefine what success feels like, not just what it looks like. Maya S., a former tech executive, shared that Sabine's story gave her permission to step back from constant productivity and finally explore what she wants outside of corporate expectations. Denise K., a midlife entrepreneur, said the idea of “starting wiser, not over” helped her reframe her divorce and business closure as the beginning of something more aligned, not a failure. Nina A., a healthcare leader, reflected that Sabine's move to a remote farmhouse inspired her to take a weekend off-grid, and in that silence, she heard the clarity she'd been chasing for years.   These stories remind us: Midlife isn't a crisis, it's an invitation. Burnout isn't weakness, it's wisdom asking for change. And reinvention isn't about starting again, it's about starting true.   Now it's your turn: What moment, quote, or idea from Sabine's story made you pause?  Did something in her journey mirror your own?  We'd love to hear from you. Share your reflection and help someone else feel less alone in  their own midlife pivot.   Loved this episode? If you found value in this conversation, don't forget to leave a review!

A New Way to Summer: 10 Ways to Slow Down This Year Episode Description What if this summer doesn't have to be another season of cramming in as much activity and productivity as possible? In this vulnerable and transformative episode, host Cherisse shares her heart about choosing a different way to summer - one that prioritizes rest, restoration, and the health of our souls. With shaky hands and an open heart, Cherisse announces she's taking her first sabbatical in 26 years of business, and invites you to join her in discovering what it looks like to summer slowly, restfully, and with intention. Drawing wisdom from Abraham Joshua Heschel's "The Sabbath" and insights from recent guest conversations, this episode offers both inspiration and practical guidance for creating sacred rhythms this summer. What You'll Discover in This Episode: 10 Practical Ways to Slow Down This Summer: Release the Summer Performance Pressure - Stop trying to make your life Instagram-worthy and start living fully in each moment Embrace Morning Sacred Solitude - Create a daily rhythm of meeting with the Lord before the chaos begins Practice Holy Leisure in Nature - Discover "thin places" where heaven feels close to earth Create Rhythms of Preparation and Rest - Learn how preparation makes true rest possible Redefine Summer Success - Measure success by the state of your soul, not activities completed Practice the Discipline of Saying No - Guard your "palace in time" from invasions of busyness Embrace Contemplative Practices in Ordinary Moments - Transform daily tasks into opportunities for prayer Create Space for Holy Boredom - Let creativity and wonder emerge naturally Honor Your Body's Summer Rhythm - Treat your body as a temple to be honored, not a machine to be optimized Practice Sabbatical Thinking - Ask "What do you have for me today, Lord?" instead of demanding your agenda be blessed Key Scripture & Quotes Featured: Isaiah 30:15: "In quietness and trust shall be your strength. In returning and rest you shall be saved." Ruth Haley Barton: "We cannot give what we do not have." Abraham Joshua Heschel: "Sabbath is not for the sake of weekdays, but weekdays are for the sake of the Sabbath." John Ortberg: "Hurry is not of the devil. Hurry IS the devil." Special Announcement: Summer Soul Care Series While Cherisse steps into her sabbatical this summer, she's prepared a special gift for listeners - a Summer Soul Care series based on John Ortberg's book "Soul Keeping" that will release every Thursday in June. This series requires no prep work - simply press play and receive the soul care you need. How to Go Deeper: Order "Soul Keeping" by John Ortberg on Amazon or grab it on Audible/Spotify Invite friends to join you for intentional summer soul care Gather virtually or in person to discuss what God is stirring in your hearts Create your own summer soul care community right where you are A Personal Prayer for Your Summer The episode closes with a beautiful prayer for opening clenched fists, embracing rest as a gift rather than a challenge to conquer, and finding courage to keep our souls intact even if it means disappointing others. This prayer reminds us that our worth isn't measured by productivity, but by whose we are. Connect with Cherisse & Join the Journey

Episode 3542: Clearing space, physically, mentally, and emotionally, creates the foundation for real change. Kathy Robinson shares how decluttering isn't just about getting rid of things; it's about making room for transformation. By setting boundaries, embracing mindful pauses, and practicing discernment, you can align your life with what truly matters and cultivate a deeper sense of peace and fulfillment. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://athenawellness.com/blog/2023/3/1/how-to-create-space-in-your-life Quotes to ponder: "The whole purpose of creating space and reclaiming your time is so you can connect with your still point, a place of spacious calm where you can detach from your thoughts and emotions in a peaceful space of surrender and release." "The choices available to us are endless, which is why discernment is so important. It moves you to a place where you can begin to say no to what you don't want so you can spend more time doing what's fulfilling for you."
