In this vulnerable session, Christine coaches Chloe, who finds herself caught in a painful loop of anxious and avoidant attachment patterns within her marriage. Chloe's husband is navigating a midlife crisis and exploring his own healing journey, leaving Chloe feeling uncertain, hyper-vigilant, and emotionally stuck. As they unpack Chloe's longing for clarity and security, Christine gently guides her to examine the deeper soul lesson at play: reclaiming her own truth, needs, and emotional expression without waiting for external validation. If you've ever dimmed your emotions to “keep the peace,” or found yourself anxiously waiting for someone else to decide your future, this episode will speak directly to your heart. Consider/Ask Yourself: Do you find yourself waiting for someone else to give you clarity or permission? Are you stuck in a cycle of people-pleasing, withholding, or over-functioning? Do you often feel anxious in your romantic relationships—even if nothing is “wrong”? Are you afraid to fully express your emotions for fear of rocking the boat? Key Insights and A-HAs: Anxious and avoidant attachment styles are two sides of the same insecure coin. Waiting for someone else's clarity can disempower your nervous system and inner child. Love without truth is not real intimacy—truth and love must go hand in hand. Emotional safety starts with allowing yourself to feel, express, and be seen—fully. We often attract partners who mirror the healing we still need to do within ourselves. How to Deepen the Work: Pay attention to the moments you “pretend” everything is fine. Start telling the truth—gently but consistently. Stop waiting for clarity. Ask yourself: Is this relationship, as it is now, enough for me? Use the phrase: “What I'm making that mean is…” to clarify miscommunications in real time. Reconnect with your inner child and notice where she still believes love must be earned or tiptoed around. Set an anchor point in your calendar (like a retreat or personal milestone) to reassess from a place of greater embodiment and clarity.   Upcoming Retreat: October 17–19, 2025 Christine's next live retreat for women is happening this October, and applications are now open. This is a curated, transformational space designed to help you release old patterns, reconnect with your inner wisdom, and receive the love and clarity you truly desire. This retreat isn't about pushing, fixing, or performing—it's about truth, embodiment, and healing in a sacred space.

Decode Your Birth Chart at https://www.quietmindastrology.com/101Become Your Own Astrologer at https://www.quietmindastrology.com/workshopIt's August 2025 and we're stepping into eclipse season by the end of the month. I'll walk you through all of it in this episode and invite you to join me for some of the most powerful trainings I offer.August 2nd kicks off with the Decode Your Birth Chart workshop — the one to attend if you've ever looked at your chart and thought, “What am I looking at?” I'll show you how to interpret the signs, planets, and houses so you can understand your chart and others' more clearly.August 9th brings the Full Moon in Shravana, Capricorn, an invitation to emotionally process what's unresolved from July's Mercury and Saturn retrogrades. This Full Moon is about listening inward, reviewing your routines, and aligning your day-to-day life with your deeper purpose. Sit in meditation. Listen to nostalgic music. Reassess what's working and what isn't.August 11th marks Mercury Direct in Cancer, but the shadow period continues through the month. During Mercury retrograde it's not a good time for starting new things. Let this time be about emotional catharsis, creative expression, and finishing unfinished business. I've been seeing tech issues, lost files, and missed details — all part of the process. Don't resist it. Laugh at it. Flow with it.August 14th is the Become Your Own Astrologer workshop, where I share the 7 steps to practice astrology skillfully and avoid the misinformation so common in AI and online tools. There's still no AI that's actually trained for Vedic astrology. They're all trained on Western. If you want to read accurate, astronomically based charts, this is where to begin.August 16th, the Sun moves into Leo, its own sign. Now's the time to “step into your power and let it go.” It's paradoxical, but with Ketu in Leo, the fire of personal power is being redirected toward spiritual growth. If you've been asking yourself, “Who am I? Where am I going?” — that's this transit.August 17th, we get a little reprieve with the Moon exalted in Rohini, a great day for self-care, yoga, walks in nature, spa days, or anything Venusian. Ways that you feel like you're taking care of yourself, enjoying life, enjoying the senses — very favorable.August 20th, Venus moves into Cancer, shifting the tone from emotional cleansing in Ardra to emotional nourishment. If the first half of August is about crying and catharsis, the second half is about comfort and connection. Deepen the friendship part of your relationship. If you're single and looking to date, the second half of August is quite nice.”Watch for overindulgence or overwhelm, but lean into creating beauty, intimacy, and play.August 23rd opens the Eclipse Portal, beginning with a New Moon in Leo (Magha) — this is when everything shifts. You go into it one way, you come out another way. This is a powerful time to reflect on your identity, your lineage, and what you're here to change. It's no coincidence the Vedic Astrology Mentorship begins the same day. If you've been practicing astrology by listening to this podcast, you're already an astrology practitioner. Now it's time to go deeper.August 30th, Mercury enters Leo, completing its post-retrograde cycle and bringing clarity, creativity, and spiritual communication. You'll feel this especially if you're studying astrology, personal development, or any self-awareness practice. You'll be ready to move forward with new awareness and clear thinking again.5 Key Ideas• “Feel it so you can heal it”• “Step into your power… and let it go” — Sun and Ketu in Leo are asking for humble strength.• “If you're listening to this, you are practicing astrology”• “We all get the same 168 hours a week. How do you want to use that time?” — Use the Full Moon to reflect.• “Find your gifts and give them away” — That's your purpose, and that's what this month is about.

In the third episode of this "Start Small" series, Nicole shares some ways we can deepen learning by replacing *quantity* with *quality* in our science classrooms. More isn't always better, and while it can sometimes feel counterintuitive, cutting back on the amount of work we assign can open the gateway for richer discussions, natural differentiation as opportunities to extend and reteach emerge, and better student learning. Let's invite our students to move away from the "I just need to get it done" mentality to focus on the actual content and skills they are learning!More Resources: Teaching Science in 3D on Instagram & FacebookAre you looking for a quick, easy and FREE way to improve your lessons?  Download Erin's 3D Lesson Planner.  Then, all you have to do is write down what you are already doing in class.  Then, she will send you instructions for EASY next steps.   Click here to grab this FREE download. You're invited to check out Bring Wonder Back, an on-demand video series designed to help you take your first steps to transforming your students into scientists with 3D teaching practices — what the NGSS is all about!

A paper co-authored by Tatsuya Amano was rejected recently without review because its level of English did not meet the journal's required standard. His research suggests that 38% of researchers who are not fluent in English have experienced similar rejections.Amano, whose first language is Japanese, describes how dismantling language barriers will result in improved knowledge sharing, and in the long run, better research.Journals, he argues, can help by taking steps to distinguish the quality of science from the quality of language when assessing manuscripts. And conference organizers can adopt a range of measures to support presenters and attendees whose first language is not English.The biodiversity researcher is one of eleven scientists leading TranslatE, a project which strives to make environmental science more accessible to non-fluent English speakers.AI and translation tools can bring huge benefits to researchers like him, he says, but they won't all have been trained on many of the world's estimated 7000 different languages, deepening inequities in science. Cost is another factor, particularly for those in global south countries. “People from high income countries may be more likely to benefit from those emerging AI technologies,” he says.

The environmental issues currently at hand, including global warming, are related, but I believe that at their root lies the decline of our listening ability and the power of listening as humanity. This decline is not merely a matter of our listening ability weakening as we age, but rather it encompasses what we choose to listen to, how we perceive it, and all the various subjects of listening and methods of comprehension. I believe this decline is a collective issue for humanity, particularly in modern Western contexts where we have been taught that this is how to listen, especially in relation to music and everyday listening practices, and how we have become confined to these methods. We must have once believed in more locally rooted ways of listening, but we are losing that I think that is fundamentally connected to the current environmental issues. My conversation with Japanese musicologist and soundscape researcher Keiko Torigoe at her home in Tokyo on May 21, 2025. Keiko is retired from her position as professor at Aoyama Gakuin University in Tokyo and is currently President of the Soundscape Association of Japan. Keiko is a long-time friend and colleague in the international acoustic ecology community who has done important research on soundscapes in Canada and Japan. Keiko answered the two following questions in Japanese: first, ‘what is role of arts and culture is in times of crisis, collapse and renewal' followed by ‘what about your current activities as a researcher and producer of community arts projects and what action points do you recommend'). I loved how her answers included the more-than-human world and locally rooted ways of listening. You can also listen to the original Japanese version of our conversation here. この対談のオリジナル日本語版はこちらでも聴くことができる。Show notes generated by Whisper Transcribe AIAction pointsRecognize the decline of listening ability in modern society and its connection to environmental issues.Broaden the concept of music to include communication with the natural realm.Deepen your connection with the land and local communities through artistic activities.Engage in collaborative projects that promote understanding and respect for diverse perspectives.Consider the impact of your actions on those around you, fostering intergenerational connections.Story PreviewImagine strolling around a tranquil pond in Japan, guided by a soundscape researcher who unveils the hidden stories of the land through music and conversation.

If you are someone who loves building healthy relationships, communication skills, and personal growth, then this episode is for you.A few years ago in couples therapy, I learned one simple relationship tip that completely changed the way I communicate, especially during conflict. It's something I come back to again and again, whether I'm arguing with my husband or navigating tension with a family member.This advice is so powerful because it works outside of romantic partnerships too—whether you're navigating tension with a friend, a family member, or anyone you love and respect.In this episode, I'm walking you through the exact phrase my therapist said that stopped me in my tracks, helped my husband and I reconnect, and later, helped my sister and I move from feeling misunderstood to finally hearing each other.But first, a big disclaimer: this tip only works with emotionally intelligent, securely attached people. It's not for those in abusive dynamics or with people who are committed to misunderstanding you. If that's something you've struggled with, I hope this episode gives you clarity on when to apply healthy communication tools—and when to have the self-worth to step away.You'll learn:Why being “right” is overrated in relationshipsHow to shift from objective truth to subjective experiencesWhat emotionally-intelligent conflict resolution actually sounds likeHow to move from defensiveness to connection in under 10 minutesWhether you're in a long-term relationship or just want to improve how you show up for the people you love, this episode will give you the mindset shift you didn't know you needed.Deepen your self-love journey with Mary's books:*The Gift of Self-Love,* an interactive workbook that will help you build confidence, recognize your worth, and learn to finally love yourself.*100 Days of Self-Love,* a guided journal with 100 prompts to help you calm self-criticism and learn to love who you are.Follow Mary on IG: @maryscupofteaa and @maryspodcastIf you're enjoying this self-love podcast, share it with the women in your life to spread the gift of self-love!Mentioned In This Episode...Ep. 170: Intentional Wedding Planning and Artful Gathering with Priya ParkerEp. 257: Me and My Sister Recap Our Trip to France Ep. 258: Confidence Advice for Teen Girls (feat.

In this powerful and emotionally honest session, Christine coaches Tiffany—a gifted, intuitive woman who's been living inside the identity of caretaker, rescuer, and savior. As someone raised in a family marked by addiction, loss, and emotional chaos, Tiffany learned early on to take responsibility for others' well-being, often at the expense of her own. Now, with a brother spiraling and a deep longing to create a family of her own, Tiffany finds herself stuck in an exhausting cycle of overgiving, people-pleasing, and spiritual burnout. Christine gently but firmly guides her toward a redefinition of love—one that includes boundaries, dignity, and surrender, not depletion. This episode speaks to every empath, helper, or healer who struggles with giving too much, confusing martyrdom with love, and forgetting their own needs in service of saving others. Consider/Ask Yourself: Do you feel responsible for other people's healing, happiness, or choices? Have you been confusing helping with over-giving—or love with martyrdom? Are you exhausted from trying to fix or save others who haven't asked for your support? What might open up for you if you believed that everyone is on their own soul path—and you don't have to intervene? Key Insights and A-HAs: Being the “savior” is often a survival role rooted in early identity confusion—not your true purpose. There's a sacred difference between being of service and being responsible for others. You can give people the dignity of their own process—and that is its own act of love. God/Source never asks you to deplete yourself in the name of love. When you stop over-giving, you make space for reciprocal love, rest, and your rightful life. How to Deepen the Work: Reflect on this mantra: “I no longer rob others of the dignity of their own process.” Get honest about where you're still playing the role of rescuer—and release it with compassion. Reorient your energy through prayer, meditation, or spiritual practices that restore you. Redefine your non-negotiables in relationships, especially around addiction, boundaries, and reciprocity. Begin to build a new identity: one rooted in self-trust, clear agreements, and spiritual alignment—not sacrifice.   Upcoming Event: The San Diego Women's Retreat (Oct. 17–19, 2025)If this episode resonated, you're invited to Christine's signature women's retreat—a high-frequency, transformational experience designed to reconnect you with your truth, your joy, and your courage. Whether you're in a season of rebuilding or simply seeking maintenance for your soul, this retreat offers intentional support and sacred community. Early bird discount ending soon.

In the final week of the In the Arena series, Pastor Joby unpacks what it means to be angry like Jesus and what to do about it. In John 2, we see Jesus flip tables in the temple, not out of sinful rage but with righteous anger that leads to right action. What stirs your anger? Is it about defending yourselves or protecting what God loves most?

What happens when you're doing “all the right things”—and yet life just won't give you a break? In this vulnerable coaching session, Christine supports Lauren, who finds herself stuck in a difficult season marked by frustration, stagnation, and unmet desires. From canceled dates to cockroach infestations and business disappointments, Lauren feels blocked on multiple fronts—despite years of doing the inner work. What unfolds is a compassionate deep dive into the exhaustion of “efforting” without reward, the hidden cost of spiritual performance, and the powerful shift that comes when we release the idea that life must be “fair” to be good. Together, Christine and Lauren explore how to trade spiritual perfectionism and judgment for something much softer: acceptance, self-advocacy, and grounded trust in the unseen support that's already working on our behalf. Consider/Ask Yourself: Do you feel like you've done the work, but life still feels hard or stagnant? Are you stuck in a loop of striving, yet not seeing results? Does part of you still believe life is supposed to reward effort like a transaction? Are you ready to shift from pushing to receiving—from performance to presence? Key Insights and A-HAs: Sometimes, when life “isn't working,” we're actually in a season of integration, not failure. “Life isn't fair” is often a core wound—and learning to advocate for ourselves is the healing path. Taking empowered action is only part of the equation; our energy and beliefs must match. Self-advocacy is different from self-protection or hyper-independence—it's rooted in worth. Relief, not elation, is the most powerful emotional setpoint to restore inner alignment. How to Deepen the Work: Ask: “Where in my life can I lovingly advocate for myself?” Practice shifting from judgment to relief. Try the affirmation: “This is what is—and I am safe.” Notice when you assign meaning to disappointment. Can you stay curious instead of collapsing? Look for the difference between resignation and true acceptance. One drains, the other restores. Journal on this question: “What am I learning to receive in this season of life?”   Upcoming Event: Christine's Women's Retreat – October 17–19, 2025 If you feel stuck, depleted, or unsure where to go next, Christine invites you to her signature Women's Retreat. It's designed to help you shift frequencies—not just fix external problems. This immersive, high-frequency weekend supports deep healing, soul reconnection, and sustainable transformation.

Our guest in this episode is Mike Wittenstein, the founder of Storyminers and a brilliant strategist who helps leaders become true architects of their future. Mike masterfully blends the art of deep listening with the science of new technology to forge innovative paths forward. In our fascinating conversation, he explains how we can use AI as a powerful co-pilot, not to diminish our humanity, but to amplify our strategic thinking and create even deeper connections.Key points discussed include:* Use AI to handle analysis, freeing you for genuine, heart-to-heart conversations with clients and colleagues.* Your greatest differentiator in the age of AI is simply becoming more authentically you through deeper self-knowledge.* Turn AI into your personal coach to mindfully track your evolution and accelerate your personal and professional growth.Listen to the podcast to find out more.Innovabiz Substack is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Show Notes from this episode with Mike Wittenstein, StoryminersIt was a genuine pleasure to welcome Mike Wittenstein, the founder of Storyminers, back to the Innovabuzz podcast. So much has happened in the world since our last conversation in episode 532. Back then, we explored how powerful stories grow from deep listening, which feels like the perfect foundation for what we discussed this time: how to apply that same human-centered philosophy in the rapidly expanding world of AI.Mike is approaching this new technological wave not as a simple tool for productivity, but as a way to fundamentally improve the creative and strategic work that leaders do. He shared his belief that in a world changing so quickly, executives can no longer get by on just setting new target numbers. They must become true "architects," as he puts it, who can clearly define and envision the future. It's a call to elevate our thinking, and he's using AI to help chart the course.The Grand Experiment: An End-to-End Consulting Journey with an AI Co-pilotMike recently put this philosophy to the ultimate test by running an entire consulting engagement, from the very first client meeting to the final deliverables, using ChatGPT Pro as his partner. He kicked things off with a crucial step: complete transparency. He informed his client that he would be using the tool extensively but also promised that his own expertise and experience would touch every single word of the final output, ensuring accountability and quality.The results of this experiment were remarkable. The AI became the project's perfect "collector of all the information," creating an infallible memory that got smarter and more fine-tuned with every interaction. This new process allowed him and his client to accomplish five full iterations of their strategy in the same amount of calendar time it would normally take to do just one. More than the efficiency, Mike noted he had much higher confidence in the work because he essentially had "hundreds of co-thinkers" contributing to the process.The "Eye to Eye, Heart to Heart" Conversation, Amplified by AIPerhaps the most compelling outcome was a beautiful paradox: using a machine for the analytical heavy lifting actually paved the way for deeper human connection. Mike described how he could feed conversation transcripts to his AI and ask it to extract to-dos, pinpoint moments where someone had a change of heart, or highlight key themes. This freed him from the burden of being a constant, meticulous note-taker during meetings.By offloading that task, he could be fully present with his client, engaging in the kind of "honest eye to eye, heart to heart conversation" that is so often lost in the shuffle of agendas and action items. It's a powerful testament to how technology, when used thoughtfully, can remove distractions and allow us to focus on the genuine dialogue where the most profound strategic insights are born.The AI Toolkit: Genius Hacks for Traffic Jams, Doctor's Visits, and MeetingsMike is a fountain of practical, real-world applications for AI that go far beyond writing emails. He shared a brilliant hack involving the "Hey, Otter" voice command during meetings. By saying the trigger phrase followed by an instruction, like "soften this language," he could embed prompts directly into the live transcript, creating a ready-made to-do list that saved him hours of searching later.His personal use cases were just as inspiring, demonstrating the sheer versatility of these tools. He turns traffic jams into productive language lessons, practicing his Portuguese with AI coaching him on pronunciation. When he was unwell with pneumonia, he logged all his symptoms and meals, then had the AI generate a concise, one-page brief for the ER doctor, leading to clearer communication and better care.In a Sea of Sameness, Why the Human Element is Your Most Valuable AssetWe also waded into the deeper, more philosophical waters of our AI-driven world. I had made the point that these tools are fed by human knowledge, but Mike offered a gentle and important course correction. He reminded me of the colossal volumes of non-human data being generated daily, from weather patterns to train schedules, meaning the purely human voice is becoming a smaller part of the whole.This led him to a profound conclusion: as our digital lives become noisier and more automated, the authentic human element will become our most cherished and valuable asset. He believes it is our shared responsibility to consciously "put people first" in how we design and use these systems. That mindful distinction, he argues, will set a pattern for others to follow.Your Ultimate Differentiator: Using AI to Simply Become More YouWhen I asked Mike how people can differentiate themselves in an age where everyone has access to AI, his answer was refreshingly simple. It is not about mastering a new technical skill; it is about knowing yourself better and being "more you." The more authentic you can be in your voice, your intent, and your thinking, the more you will naturally stand out.He offered a wonderful reframe, suggesting we use AI not just for output, but for introspection. You can turn it into a personal coach. By telling it what you are working on, whether it is improving your turn-taking in conversations or being a more empathetic leader, you can ask it for feedback on your own progress. It becomes an accountability partner, using your own metrics to help you grow.Your Action Plan: Prompting Your Own Personal EvolutionThis brings us to the core of our conversation. AI can be more than a research assistant or a content creator; it can be a co-thinker, a coach, and a catalyst for our own development. It is a tool that can help us become better, more mindful versions of ourselves.Mike left us with a clear and inspiring call to action. Take a moment to think about your own journey of growth. What are you trying to learn? What path are you on to evolve and become a better you? Once you have that clarity, open your favorite AI tool and start a conversation about it. Ask it to create reminders and help you check in on your progress, and you will be surprised at how it can accelerate your journey.In Summary: My conversation with Mike Wittenstein was a masterclass in how to approach AI with curiosity, intention, and a deep-seated commitment to human connection. His message is that the true power of this technology lies not in its ability to replace us, but in its potential to amplify our best human qualities: our creativity, our strategic thinking, and our capacity for growth.The Buzz - Our Innovation RoundHere are Mike's answers to the questions of our innovation round. Listen to the conversation to get the full scoop.* Most innovative use of AI to enhance human relationships – Using the role-playing tool Yoodli to enhance confidence and build crucial communication skills in a safe, risk-free environment.* Best thing to integrate AI and human connection – Creating a personal brand voice template that ensures your authentic personality and humor shines through in all AI-assisted writing.* Differentiate by leveraging AI – Focus on becoming more authentically yourself and use AI as a personal coach to guide and track that journey of growth.ActionTake a moment to think about the path you are on to become a better, more evolved version of yourself. Write down what you are learning, and then ask your favorite AI tool to create prompts and reminders that will help you mindfully check your progress over time.Reach OutYou can reach out and thank Mike on LinkedIn under his name, Mike Wittenstein, or find him online through his company website.Links* Website – Storyminers* LinkedIn* Twitter – @mikewittenstein* Facebook* Youtube Channel – StoryminersCool Things About Mike* He uses the folksy and memorable adage, "You can't teach a pig to sing... it doesn't work and pisses off the pig." This piece of unexpected, down-to-earth wisdom reveals a humorous, practical side that cuts through the corporate jargon. It's a phrase you don't forget.* He champions bringing a live sketch artist into high-level business strategy sessions. In an era dominated by digital presentations, this dedication to an analog, creative, and deeply human tool is refreshingly unconventional. It shows a commitment to multi-sensory communication that is both cool and highly effective.* His company, Storyminers, has a classic entrepreneurial origin story. He and a friend were in a Starbucks, saw a dramatic headline about mass layoffs in their field, and instead of seeing a crisis, they saw an opportunity and immediately launched their business, successfully landing their first six prospects.Imagine being a part of a select community where you not only have access to our amazing podcast guests, but you also get a chance to transform your marketing and podcast into a growth engine with a human-centered, relationship-focused approach.That's exactly what you'll get when you join the Flywheel Nation Community.Tap into the collective wisdom of high-impact achievers, gain exclusive access to resources, and expand your network in our vibrant community.Experience accelerated growth, breakthrough insights, and powerful connections to elevate your business.ACT NOW – secure your spot and transform your journey today!

Your first month as a leader matters—don't let the momentum fade.In this week's episode of Promoted: Stop Doubting, Start Leading, Karen Gombault breaks down what really needs to happen in the critical first 30 days of a new leadership role. The initial excitement has worn off, the hallway hellos have faded, and now all eyes are on you to lead.This episode delivers five strategic moves to help you transition from being the “new hire” to a respected, trusted leader who gets things done—without falling into the trap of overthinking, overworking, or burning out.Whether you've just stepped into a new role or want to reset your leadership presence, this episode will help you lead with confidence and intention in the moments that matter most.5 KEY TAKEAWAYS:1. Clarify your mandate—don't assume alignment. Ask your boss directly: “What does success look like in 90 days?” Get it in writing and compare it with what your team expects. Misalignment erodes trust fast.2. Define your leadership style early. Let your team know how you operate—your preferences, boundaries, and expectations. Consistency builds psychological safety and makes you easier to follow.3. Deliver a visible, meaningful win. Find a low-risk, high-impact problem to solve. Don't wait for people to notice—communicate what you did and why it matters.4. Deepen relationships with key players. Schedule check-ins with your boss, your team, and key peers. Use “reverse feedback” meetings to invite trust and collaboration.5. Anchor yourself emotionally. Imposter syndrome often kicks in by week four. Keep a list of what's working and give yourself credit—your brain needs proof that you're making progress.“People this month might not be giving you polite in the hallway anymore. And they're looking and starting to judge—which by the way is completely normal.” - Karen GombaultBy the end of your first month, you're no longer the new person. You're the leader. This episode gives you the practical steps to solidify trust, define your leadership brand, and stay grounded while pressure builds.

Capricorn Full Moon Chaos? How to Ground, Rise, and Navigate Uranus in Gemini

How can we deepen our relationships? Andrea Miller, editor of Right Here with You, discusses how mindfulness can help us open our hearts, strengthen communication, increase intimacy, and allow us to be more fully present with each other.

In this deeply tender session, Christine works with Holly, who's navigating the exhausting grip of fear and the inner conflict that arises when she tries to override it. Holly describes the frustration of knowing she's done the inner work—yet still feeling paralyzed by fear when it comes to speaking up, setting boundaries, or simply sending a message to a friend. What emerges is a powerful reframe: fear is not the enemy. It's a messenger from past pain, particularly childhood wounds of abandonment and emotional neglect. Christine guides Holly through a shift from judgment to compassion, from pushing through fear to gently parenting the scared parts of herself with curiosity and care. This conversation is for anyone who feels “stuck” in their fear despite years of personal growth—and who needs a reminder that softness, not force, is the path forward. Consider/Ask Yourself: Are you judging yourself for still feeling fear, even after doing years of self-development work? Do small tasks, like expressing a need or setting a boundary, send you into overanalysis or self-doubt? Were you raised in an environment that didn't feel safe or affirming—and are you carrying those patterns into adulthood? What might shift if you treated your fear with compassion instead of frustration? Key Insights and A-HAs: Fear often stems from childhood wounds, not present-day reality. Self-judgment reinforces abandonment. Compassion heals it. We don't have to “push through” fear to transform—it's more powerful to honor it, tend to it, and respond with care. Hyper-independence can be a trauma response—not a personality trait. Healing happens through curiosity, compassion, and courage—not pressure and shame. How to Deepen the Work: Practice speaking to yourself the way a nurturing parent would: “It's okay to be scared. I'm here.” Try the three-step emotional approach Christine recommends: Compassion → Curiosity → Courage. Journal about where fear still holds you back—and what your younger self might need in those moments. Explore whether you're bypassing your feelings by “pushing through,” and ask what might happen if you softened instead. Identify safe relationships where you can start practicing self-expression and vulnerability in small ways. Upcoming Event: The San Diego Women's Retreat (Oct. 17–19, 2025)If this episode resonated, you're invited to Christine's signature women's retreat—a high-frequency, transformational experience designed to reconnect you with your truth, your joy, and your courage.

What matters most when we show up to worship?In “Relationships Matter to God,” we’re reminded that unresolved conflict—especially in our closest relationships—matters deeply to God. In fact, Jesus said we should press pause on worship if we know someone has something against us. Why? Because our hearts, our humility, and our willingness to seek reconciliation are acts of worship too. One woman shares how God softened her heart during years of marriage struggles, leading her from resentment to grace—and from pride to peace. Key Takeaways: God prioritizes reconciliation over religious ritual We can’t truly worship when bitterness is brewing Conflict often becomes destructive when left unprocessed Christ calls us to deal with our emotions before they harden into contempt Forgiveness is a gift we give to others and ourselves

Even after shifting to student-centered learning, it's easy to fall into familiar routines: sparking a project, guiding students along, and quietly doing the heavy lifting ourselves. But what does it take to fully hand over the reins—and trust students to direct their own learning? In this episode, inquiry-driven educator Robynne Esther shares how she made that shift herself, and the practical tools she now uses to support real student independence, without sacrificing structure. From co-creating checklists to guiding expert research and using visible thinking strategies, Robynne walks us through how to scaffold agency without oversteering it. You'll hear: How inquiry provocations can open up—not narrow—student-led direction What expert groups and feedback loops look like in project-based units Why the right checklist isn't about control, but about clarity How thinking routines help students reflect, take risks, and follow their curiosity The subtle mindset shifts that allow teachers to lead by stepping back Whether you're refining your role as facilitator or looking for ways to help students take the next leap in self-direction, this conversation offers inspiration—and strategy—you can put to use right away.

Let's dive into some unconscious ways us women tend to sabotage our self-love—especially in times of collective stress, societal pressure, and emotional overwhelm. In a world that constantly demands more from women—more productivity, more perfection, more performance—it's no wonder we struggle to stay connected to our own self-worth.If you've ever felt reactive, rushed, or stuck in regret, this conversation will give you the mindset shifts and grounding reminders you need to return to yourself.You will learn how to...Stay rooted in self-worth when the world feels like it's on fireRecognize the difference between reacting and respondingFree yourself from the cycles of rushing and regrettingThis self-love podcast episode is meant to help you reflect rather than react, slow down instead of rushing, and trust yourself instead of spiraling in regret.We often think of self-love as something fluffy or indulgent, but the truth is: it's crucial. It's the foundation for how we show up in the world, how we treat others, and how we protect our peace. As you'll hear in this episode, the more you cultivate self-love, the less reactive you become. The more grounded you are, the less likely you are to betray yourself in moments of stress or uncertainty.Remember: self-love isn't a luxury—it's the foundation of personal and collective healing.If you enjoyed this self-love podcast, share it with your friends to spread the gift of self-love!Deepen your self-love journey with Mary's books:*The Gift of Self-Love,* an interactive workbook that will help you build confidence, recognize your worth, and learn to finally love yourself.*100 Days of Self-Love,* a guided journal with 100 prompts to help you calm self-criticism and learn to love who you are.Follow Mary on IG: @maryscupofteaa and @maryspodcastMentioned In This Episode…Joy Sullivan's newsletter “Women at the Protest”Meditations for Mortals by Oliver BurkemanEp. 250 on Mary's Cup of Tea: Productivity Advice Meets Self-Compassion with Oliver Burkeman

In this heartfelt, full-circle session, Christine reconnects with Anneke—the very first person she coached on the podcast ten years ago. What unfolds is a deeply moving reflection on growth that isn't measured by external milestones, but by the quiet, powerful shifts that happen on a soul level. Anneke opens up about her journey through addiction recovery, burnout, grief, unexpected caregiving, and stepping into true self-love. Over the last decade, she's released people-pleasing, healed from codependency, and discovered what it means to care for herself without performance or guilt. This episode challenges the cultural obsession with checking boxes and invites you to redefine what a “successful” decade really looks like. If you've ever questioned your progress or minimized your own transformation, this conversation is a must-listen. Consider/Ask Yourself: Are you focused on external achievements while overlooking your inner growth? Do you struggle to give yourself credit for how far you've come? Have you been moving through a quiet season of healing or rebuilding that's hard to explain to others? What would it feel like to reclaim your creativity and joy without needing it to be productive? Key Insights and A-HAs: True transformation often happens in the unseen work of self-trust, boundaries, and healing. Asking “What about me?” is not selfish—it's sacred. Rest, creativity, and reflection are just as valid as action and ambition. We are not here to perform our lives—we are here to live them authentically. It's okay to have mixed feelings about the roles we step into, including caregiving or parenthood. How to Deepen the Work: Take a moment to reflect on the last ten years of your own life. What have you healed, endured, or learned? Release comparison. Shift your focus from goal-line success to soul-line growth. Create space for a joyful, unstructured creative practice—just for you. Allow yourself to ask: Who am I now? And what do I want moving forward?

The modern workspace, increasingly reliant on cloud-based applications, browser-first access, and AI integration, faces significant security challenges that outpace the capabilities of traditional tools.

What if a little bit of delusion might be exactly what you need to boost your confidence? As the kids these days say: “being delulu is the solulu!” Mary shares 4 mindset shifts– that some might consider “delusional”– but will do wonders for your confidence. You will learn how to... - lie to yourself in an empowering way lol - stop comparing yourself to others with one very simple mindset shift - break free from external validation and derive your confidence from within - balance self-trust with consistent, confident action-taking - release perfectionism and believe in yourself Especially for women, embracing a positive mindset is often the first rebellion against a world that profits off of our self-doubt. This isn't about toxic positivity or lying to yourself in a way that's avoidant. It's about consciously choosing beliefs rooted in self-love that remind you that you are enough. Reclaim your self-esteem by choosing self-talk that inspires action and fuels your dreams, regardless of personal insecurities or cultural expectations. Remember: Confidence doesn't always have to be logical. It just has to set you free. If you enjoyed this episode, share it with your friends to spread the gift of self-love!

Being able to name and understand your emotions deepens your connection to yourself and improves your ability to connect with others. Language gives shape to emotional experiences, much like how having more words for color can help us better distinguish shades. By learning the core emotions—anger, fear, guilt, and pain—and understanding their physical and relational functions, we gain tools to navigate conflict and communicate more vulnerably and effectively.
