Podcasts about embracing imperfection

This episode is part of Body Relationship Month — our special July series where we're revisiting some of our most-loved episodes to help you heal your relationship with your body. Many of us struggle to overcome society's message that you need to look a certain way to be valued. Adopting these messages (willingly or not) often creates debilitating battles with how we see our bodies. This negative body relationship can permeate nearly every aspect of life and diminish our entire experience. We end up living day after day with someone (ourselves) we don't accept, love, or appreciate unconditionally. And well… that sucks. But there are steps you can take to embrace your imperfections, accept yourself as-is, and still pursue your health and fitness goals. The result? Peace, freedom, and finally escaping a lifetime sentence in your food and body prison. In this episode — “Embracing Imperfection: How to Love Your Body at Every Stage” — you'll learn:

Ep. 61 Kids & Separation: What Happens to Our Children During Divorce? w/ Nadine Pittam In this episode, Ang welcomes back Nadine Pittam, a BACP-accredited psychotherapist and host of the podcast "This Won't Fix You." Nadine returns to the podcast once more to discuss the emotional and psychological impact of divorce on children, drawing from her professional experience and her own childhood. The conversation explores the importance of boundaries, emotional validation, and understanding behavioral changes in children during family separation. Nadine offers practical advice for parents navigating this challenging transition, emphasizing honest communication, maintaining routines, and allowing children to express their feelings without burdening them with adult responsibilities. (00:00) Introduction and Welcome (00:26) Introducing the Guest: Nadine (02:17) Discussing Children's Well-being During Divorce (03:25) Boundaries and Containment (03:52) Emotional Validation (03:54) Behavior as Communication (18:01) Parental Responsibility and Modeling Resilience (24:08) Embracing Imperfection in Parenting (24:28) The Power of Apology and Repair (24:58) Never Too Late to Make Amends (25:39) The Importance of Accountability (27:38) Navigating Divorce and Separation (30:20) Respectful Co-Parenting (31:39) Challenges of Co-Parenting (39:10) Emotional Resilience in Children (39:53) Final Thoughts and Advice KEY TAKEAWAYS Children are highly perceptive and sense emotional changes in the home, even if they cannot fully articulate their feelings. Parents should model emotional honesty by acknowledging their own feelings, but must avoid placing emotional responsibility on their children. Validating a child's emotions and allowing them to express concerns—no matter how small—helps maintain their emotional well-being. Maintaining routines and familiar rituals provides children with stability and comfort during the upheaval of divorce. Parents should gently invite children to share their worries, responding to their questions at the child's pace rather than overwhelming them with adult concerns BEST MOMENTS "What you've just done is shown the vulnerability without showing neediness. And so you've essentially created a model for the child." "Minimizing something somebody feels or indeed to eradicate it completely... it's just not a helpful thing to do at all." "We're certainly not asking the children, 'Should mommy and daddy divorce?' The responsibility is not the child's." "Although their problems to us might seem insignificant in a way, actually they're massive things to them."

It's the early 2000s, and I get invited to speak in New York to a room full of tech heavyweights - people and thought leaders I dreamed of being in front of. I am determined to crush it, so I do what any overachiever would: I obsess.  I write, rewrite, and practice endlessly. No improvising. No mistakes. I even buy a stiff, serious outfit that doesn't feel like me but seems like something a “real” speaker would wear. On the day of the event I deliver my Talk flawlessly, every word in place. The audience claps, though I leave feeling like something is off. It was perfect, yes, but ultimately flat. I felt like I had given a transcript instead of a speech. Fast-forward three years later, and I'm at TED for the first time. 5 days filled with 80 speakers. It hits me that the Talks that tend to stay with me aren't the perfectly polished ones. They're the raw, real, unfiltered ones. No armor, no script… just humans being human. And that's when I decide I am done choosing robotic over real. The Talks that move us, that shift our hearts and minds, are the ones that breathe. They make us feel like we've experienced something rare. And speaking of showing up with unfiltered and raw authenticity, my special guest today, Michelle Claffey, embraces that wholeheartedly. Michelle is a leadership and team coach, with a background in organic chemistry, who specializes in helping leaders and organizations embrace authenticity, courage, and confidence. In this episode of the Storytelling School Podcast, you'll learn how effective leadership and communication benefits from being authentic and vulnerable. We'll also answer questions such as: How can you move from simply delivering information to creating an authentic, immersive experience for your audience? How can you use the power of storytelling to connect and motivate? How can you reframe your perspective and shift the narrative to empower yourself and inspire others?  What you will learn in this episode: The powerful tool you can use to connect with your audience Why you don't need to deliver a "perfect" performance How reframing limiting beliefs and self-doubt can empower you What leveraging stories as analogies or metaphors can do for you Who is Michelle? Michelle Claffey is a leadership and team coach who specializes in helping leaders and organizations embrace authenticity, courage, and confidence. With a background in organic chemistry and a career shift into coaching, she truly brings a unique perspective to her work and is passionate about empowering others to find their authentic voice and lead with impact. She often incorporates storytelling and interactive experiences into her workshops and facilitation.

Let us know what you enjoy about the show!Perfectionism keeps us small. It holds us captive with the false belief that we must be polished and complete before showing our work to the world.Today, I'm breaking free from that trap by sharing something vulnerable - an unfinished chapter from my upcoming book, "I Get To: The Power of Energetic Choice." This brief but powerful segment introduces the concept of energetic choice, which transforms how we approach decisions and challenges.Unlike traditional decision-making that feels binary and fear-inducing, energetic choice offers a framework for moving from powerlessness to agency. The heart of this approach is what I call the "choice capacitor" - a method for shifting your energy from "I can't" through progressive stages until you reach the liberating space of "I get to." It's not about forcing positivity but about recognizing your fundamental power of choice.As one colleague noted, this framework functions like Doc Brown's flux capacitor from "Back to the Future" - it doesn't literally transport you through time, but it does allow you to alter your future by changing your energetic presence in the now. I demonstrate this process by sharing how I navigated my own resistance to releasing unfinished work.If you've ever felt stuck in decision paralysis, overwhelmed by expectations, or simply disconnected from your power of choice, this episode offers a practical way forward. Remember: messy can be beautiful, and sometimes your unfinished self is exactly what others need to see.Subscribe if you're ready to transform your relationship with choice and embrace the beauty of being a work in progress. Your future self will thank you.If you are enjoying the show please subscribe, share and review! Word of mouth is incredibly impactful and your support is much appreciated! Support the show

Welcome to the Triple P Life Podcast! In this episode, Dr. Jay LaGuardia dives deep into the mindset challenges that prevent many of us from achieving our goals. A third of the way through the year, Dr. Jay addresses why some people are on track with their goals while others continue to struggle despite their best efforts. He reveals three common subconscious beliefs that sabotage success and shares a practical six-step process to identify and overcome these limiting beliefs. Dr. Jay vulnerably shares his own personal journey of overcoming childhood trauma, anger issues, and fear of abandonment, demonstrating how these early experiences created limiting beliefs that nearly cost him everything he valued. Through this authentic storytelling, he illustrates how our early programming continues to affect our adult behaviors until we consciously work to change these patterns. What You'll Learn: How your subconscious mind operates: Your subconscious is programmed between ages 3-9 and controls 90% of your daily life through habitual patterns. The three limiting beliefs that sabotage success: "Children should be seen and not heard" - creating fear of visibility and judgment "If I'm not perfect, I'll be punished" - leading to anxiety, overthinking, and underexecution "I have to do everything myself" - causing burnout, overwhelm, and inability to scale A six-step process to overcome any limiting belief: Identify and challenge the root belief Reframe your narrative Install new subconscious patterns through affirmations, visualization, and meditation Process emotions through journaling and release Reprogram through new experiences and support Anchor your new identity through consistent action The power of vulnerability: True healing and growth require honest self-examination and willingness to be vulnerable. How to rewire your brain: Practical techniques including box breathing (4-4-4-4), affirmations, visualization, and deliberate imperfection. The importance of self-acceptance: Your self-worth isn't tied to others' opinions or your performance. How to practice delegation: Starting with small tasks to build trust and gradually release control. Dr. Jay offers a compelling perspective on why some people achieve remarkable success while others remain stuck in patterns of frustration despite having the same 1,440 minutes each day. The difference lies in mastering your mindset rather than letting it master you. If you're ready to break free from limiting beliefs, implement the six-step brain rewiring process, and finally achieve the success you deserve, this episode provides the roadmap you need to get started.

Our special guest on this episode is Vania Valtriani, a Brazilian now living in Utah. 10 years ago she suffered a stroke and had a profound near death experience (NDE).During her NDE she saw her father who had passed away 16 years prior. He looked young like he looked when she was 7 or 8 years old. She felt good, she felt peace, and she felt her father's love for her as he opened his arms and said, "daughter."She saw her body on the hospital bed and the medical staff working on it. At one point she felt cold, afraid and alone. Then everything changed as she found Jesus beside her. She describes His amazing eyes. He took her hands and three times said, "Everything will be alright."Vania's life has changed since the NDE. She feels her mission is to share her story with everyone she possibly can. "He is real. He is alive. His love doesn't change, no matter what we do."Please share this beautiful story with someone you love!Chapters:00:00 Introduction to Vania Valtriani02:49 The Stroke Experience09:27 Near-Death Experience and Awakening16:10 Memories of Love and Fear23:23 The Mission to Share28:15 Reflections on Jesus and Love37:22 Embracing Imperfection and Growth40:47 Fear of Death and Embracing Life41:29 RTD Outro Video.mp4.___________________.Video version of this podcast: https://youtu.be/KSveIzlXG-MRoundTripDeath.comDonate to this podcast: https://www.roundtripdeath.com/support/Vania's Book: https://www.amazon.com/Jesus-Me-My-oldest-friendship/dp/B0DRD6P5CM

Do you struggle with feeling like you're stuck in chronic fight or flight?Do you have chronic health issues, and you've heard that your gut health may be linked to your nervous system dysregulation (and vice versa), but you don't know where to start or what will actually work to heal your nervous system?Do you worry that trauma may be behind your chronic illness or chronic health issues, but despite trying dozens of mind body therapies or exercises, you feel like you've made little to no progress in healing your nervous system?If you said yes to any of these questions, then this episode is for you.On today's episode, we're continuing Part 3 of our Brain-Gut Axis Series with Dr. Julia Colangelo, a professor of mindfulness at Columbia University, and a fellow traveler on thid mind-body healing journey.Today, Dr. Julia is going to reveal some AMAZING tips and rarely-talked-about information on WHY trying to regulate your nervous system hasn't created the change or healing you've been looking for - and maybe has even added stress or confusion to your healing journey.Dr. Julia Colangelo is an award-winning educator, speaker, and research on flow - a state of mindfulness that is different than just meditating, and doesn't require you to feel peaceful at all times. As an educator and flow researcher, Julia advises and coaches visionaries, global leaders, public figures, and celebrities. Julia lives on Maui with her little family, and travels globally to speak and consult on mindfulness, flow, creativity, and nervous system regulation and expansion.Dr. Julia trains at companies like LinkedIn, Convene, and more. Her work has been featured in Glamour Magazine, The Washington Post, & The Huffington Post. Julia hosts private retreats, events and coaching experiences that are innovative, fun, and integrate flow strategies and self-awareness exercises for sustainable creativity and alignment personally and professionally.Dr. Julia launched The Flow Brain which teaches nervous system regulation to enter a flow state through nature and neuroscience and encourages a transformative approach to self-healing by entering sustainable flow states.If you've been frustrated with finding the same advice on nervous system regulation online, if you feel like all your problems are in your nervous system (but you can't figure out how to unlock it from it's state of fight and flight), or if you've avoided the topic of nervous system regulation because of feelings of shame or overwhelm around it - then I hope that listening to Dr. Julia today is a breath of FRESH air that breaths into your soul and unlocks new growth and feelings of freedom for you - in both your mind and body.

Ever felt awkward in a meeting, on stage, or in a tough conversation? What if that discomfort wasn't a weakness—but an advantage? In this episode of Leveraging Thought Leadership, Peter sits down with workplace performance expert Henna Pryor, author of Good Awkward, to explore the hidden power of social discomfort. Henna breaks down why avoiding awkward moments only makes them worse—and how embracing them can lead to stronger communication, better leadership, and a more resilient mindset. They discuss why so many leaders fear saying the wrong thing (especially in today's hyper-visible world), how the "spotlight effect" distorts our self-perception, and why placing small bets is the key to building a thought leadership platform. Henna also shares her journey from finance to executive coaching to keynote speaking—proving that growth often comes from stepping into discomfort. This conversation will change the way you think about awkwardness—and might just help you unlock your next big leadership breakthrough. Three Key Takeaways: • Avoiding Awkwardness Makes It Worse – Awkward moments happen to everyone, but dodging them only amplifies the discomfort. Acknowledging and embracing these moments can make you appear more confident and authentic. • Small Bets Lead to Big Wins – Instead of making massive, risky moves, successful thought leaders test ideas by placing small bets—through LinkedIn posts, speaking engagements, or content experiments—to see what resonates before doubling down. • Your Perceived Failures Matter Less Than You Think – The "spotlight effect" tricks us into believing people notice our mistakes more than they actually do. In reality, most people quickly move on—so stop overanalyzing and keep moving forward. Awkward moments often come from misspeaking or making mistakes. Just as Henna Pryor suggests addressing the awkward head-on, Priya Nalkur encourages leaders to embrace imperfection. Both perspectives highlight the power of authenticity and resilience in leadership. If you want to learn how to turn your perceived flaws or failures into strengths, don't miss this episode 554 - Embracing Imperfection!

In this episode I pull back the curtain on the silent dream-killer that's sabotaging your success – the all-or-nothing mentality. If you've ever abandoned your goals at the first sign of imperfection, this episode might just change everything. What You'll Discover: Why your perfectionism isn't a badge of honor but a scientifically proven trap that's heightened anxiety in women by 33% over the last three decades The neurological reason your brain convinces you that doing nothing is better than doing something imperfectly My personal confessions of how perfectionism nearly derailed my own path until I discovered the "all-or-something" approach Why high-achievers are particularly vulnerable to this mental trap (and the UC Berkeley research proving perfectionists actually accomplish LESS) The "Broken Phone Fallacy" that exposes how irrational our perfectionist thinking truly is Why This Matters Now: In a world that glamorizes hustle culture and Instagram-perfect lives, I'm offering a radical alternative backed by research from Stanford's Behavior Design Lab: consistent imperfection beats sporadic perfection every single time. Dr. Barry Schwartz's groundbreaking work reveals that "satisficers" (those who accept "good enough") report significantly higher happiness levels than "maximizers" who endlessly chase perfection. I break down exactly how to apply this research to your real life – whether you're struggling with fitness goals, career advancement, or simply cleaning out that chaotic closet. You'll walk away with a revolutionary mental framework that liberates you from the perfectionist prison: comparing your "something" option to your "nothing" option instead of your idealized "all" option. This isn't just motivational fluff. It's neuroscience. It's behavioral psychology. And it's the exact mindset shift that's helped me and my clients finally build momentum toward our most meaningful goals.  Because 20% effort is infinitely better than 0% – 100% of the time.
