This past year, I walked through the darkest shadows of heartbreak, grief, and loss after losing my mum — the greatest loss of my life.

Send us a textWhat version of yourself do you bring to work? To family gatherings? To your closest relationships? For many of us, these questions reveal uncomfortable truths about the different masks we wear throughout our lives.We don't put on these masks with malicious intent. They emerge from our deepest fears—fear of rejection, fear of inadequacy, fear that our authentic selves simply won't be enough. But what begins as self-protection gradually transforms into self-imprisonment. The exhaustion of juggling different personas, remembering which version of yourself you've shown to whom, and constantly monitoring your own behavior creates a crushing weight that few can sustain.The most revealing insight comes when we examine what bothers us in others. That colleague whose arrogance drives you crazy? That friend whose neediness feels suffocating? These triggers often reflect disowned aspects of ourselves—mirrors we'd rather not look into. Taking personal responsibility means asking the harder question: "What's my part in this dynamic?" The reflection may be uncomfortable, but it's where true growth begins.Freedom arrives when we commit to authenticity. One face. One truth. Just you. People intuitively sense incongruence between what you say and who you truly are, even if they can't articulate exactly what feels "off." Consistency builds trust far more effectively than perfection ever could. This week, try having just one honest conversation—with your spouse, your boss, or perhaps most importantly, with yourself. Take off just one mask and notice how much easier it becomes to breathe.

In a world that constantly pushes us to hustle harder and do more, this week's conversation is a breath of fresh air. I sat down with the wise and grace-filled Kari Kampakis, and she reminded us of something so important: sometimes the most faithful thing we can do is make peace with accomplishing less in a day.As parents, it's easy to feel like we need to keep up with everything: our careers, commitments, expectations, and a perfectly run household. But what if slowing down is actually the bravest and most obedient thing we can do? Kari gives us permission to step back, breathe, and create space for the things that really matter.Here are four takeaways from our conversation:How doing less can actually strengthen your parenting and your peaceWhy margin in your schedule creates more room for spiritual growthWays to listen to God's leading in the pace of your family lifeThe freedom that comes when you stop chasing “shoulds” and start embracing “enough”Kari Kampakis is a mom of four daughters, a bestselling author, speaker, and host of The Girl Mom Podcast. Her books, including Love Her Well and More Than a Mom, have encouraged countless women to parent with purpose, grace, and deep faith. Kari's message is always full of wisdom and grounded in truth and this conversation is no different.I hope this episode helps you take a deep breath and remember: you don't have to do it all to be a faithful parent.(00:00) Introduction to Parenting Dynamics(03:08) Navigating the Challenges of Modern Parenting(05:58) Building Lifelong Relationships with Our Children(08:47) The Importance of Connection in Parenting(12:07) Embracing Imperfection in Parenting(16:24) Embracing Vulnerability in Parenting(17:16) Navigating Big Emotions(18:40) Understanding Adolescent Emotional Development(20:32) Staying Grounded as a Parent(24:01) Connecting Before Correcting(27:32) Self-Care for Moms(30:00) Modeling Healthy Behaviors for Future GenerationsConnect with KariKariKampakis.comInstagramGirl Mom podcastResources MentionedKari's booksRaising Kind Daughters episode on The Christian Parenting PodcastChristian Parenting resourcesA Great Cloud of Witnesses prayer journalThe Christian Parenting Podcast is a part of the Christian Parenting Podcast Network.

Welcome to the Sustainable Clinical Medicine Podcast! In this episode, Dr. Sarah Smith welcomes Dr. Tracey O'Connell, a radiologist whose career journey took a transformative turn when she left a toxic private practice after 16 years. Together, they dive into Dr. O'Connell's path from aspiring psychiatrist to radiologist and ultimately to her work focusing on vulnerability, shame resilience, and expressive writing—especially among physicians and marginalized groups. Dr. O'Connell opens up about her early influences, the emotional challenges of medical training, and how technological shifts in radiology contributed to feelings of isolation. She shares her personal experience of grappling with shame and the toll that unsustainable work practices can take on mental health. Dr. O'Connell also discusses how discovering expressive writing and the work of Brene Brown helped her reconnect with herself and build resilience—insights she now brings to her coaching and writing workshops. If you're a clinician looking for ways to create a more sustainable career and life, or interested in how vulnerability and self-reflection can transform your wellbeing, this candid conversation offers inspiration, tools, and hope. Let's dive in! Here are 3 key takeaways from this episode: Vulnerability is Key to Physician Well-being: Dr. O'Connell highlights that being vulnerable with ourselves is a crucial first step. This can be made more accessible through expressive writing, providing a safe space for self-reflection before sharing with others. Redefining Career “Success” in Medicine: Her story challenges the idea that conforming to traditional work patterns is the only path forward. Doing things differently to protect personal well-being sometimes feels isolating, but it's a vital part of creating a sustainable career. Expressive Writing as a Healing Tool: She describes how non-judgmental self-reflection through writing can unlock growth and be a gateway to real change—especially for those struggling with burnout, shame, or isolation in clinical settings. Meet Dr. Tracey O'Connell: Tracey O'Connell, MD is a radiologist, professional certified coach, consultant, educator, and facilitator of expressive writing and Brene Brown's shame resilience programs. She provides tools for good people having a hard time, tired of feeling lonely, negative, or out of place. After many years of feeling "not enough" as a person, a physician, a parent, or partner, her work fosters positive self-worth, psychological safety, and shame resilience for others. She is currently adjusting to life as an "empty nester" and is curious about what's next for her.

In this episode, we delve into the pervasive myth that a perfect leader exists—someone who has all the answers and never makes mistakes. Our hosts, Sameer and Ismail, discuss the pressures leaders face to appear flawless and the implications of this mindset on their effectiveness and authenticity. They explore the importance of vulnerability, the impact of admitting mistakes, and how emotional intelligence plays a crucial role in leadership.KEY TAKEAWAYSPerfection is an Illusion: No leader can be perfect; striving for perfection can lead to stress and inauthenticity.Vulnerability Builds Trust: Admitting mistakes and showing vulnerability can enhance a leader's credibility and foster a supportive team environment.Embrace Mistakes as Learning Opportunities: Mistakes are a natural part of growth; leaders should encourage their teams to learn from them rather than fear them.Emotional Intelligence is Key: Effective leaders must develop emotional maturity, which includes self-regulation and the ability to respond thoughtfully under pressure.Focus on Solutions, Not Blame: Creating a culture of psychological safety allows team members to feel comfortable making mistakes and focusing on solutions rather than assigning blame.Feel free to send us an email at info@emotionalintelligents.com and share your thoughts or visit us at https://linktr.ee/emotionalintelligents Send us a text

We're Julietta and Graciela, and we're sooooo excited to invite you into our Cacao Conversations—your weekly dose of heart-opening chats, all served with a warm cup of cacao. You'll feel like one of the family during this podcast where we speak frankly, and humorously, about some of life's big questions. We share wisdom we've picked up along the way and wonder out loud about lots of life's mysteries. Whether we're diving deep into transformation, laughing at life's quirks, or simply talking about the weather (which is, like, a much bigger deal at this age, isn't it?!?), you get a front row seat to our sometimes crazy, mostly spiritual and always authentic lives. From sweat lodge ceremonies to sweaty teen socks, we cover it all. So, grab your favorite mug, fill it with cacao and join us for some profound laughter. Cacao Conversations is about empowering you to remember who you are and step into the life that feels authentically yours. How do you embrace imperfection in your healing journey? We've all been there—wanting to “get it right,” to heal perfectly, to check all the boxes and finally feel “done.” But healing isn't linear, and it definitely isn't perfect. In this episode, we're pulling back the curtain on what it really looks like to embrace imperfection as part of the journey. We talk about the messy, non-glamorous parts of healing that no one posts about on Instagram, the magic of showing up as you are, and the deep liberation that comes from letting go of unrealistic expectations. We'll share our personal stories, the missteps that taught us the most, and how we learned (and are still learning!) to love ourselves through every phase. If you've ever felt like you're “failing” at healing, this is your permission slip to breathe, laugh, and keep going. So pour your cacao, drop the pressure, and let's celebrate the beauty of being a perfectly imperfect work in progress—together. Your cup is ready. Your journey is waiting. Let's sip, chat, and transform—together. Find out more at https://www.bodyandsoulevents.love/ Hey! Thanks for listening!

In this episode of Ambitious, I share my personal journey from the relentless hustle of scaling my business to seven figures, to the emotional and mental toll it took on me.

I talk about the importance of balance and how isolating myself to work harder was not the solution. I discuss the insights I gained from therapy and coaching and how letting go of my old ways and embracing a more harmonious approach has transformed my life, my relationships, and my business. Plus, I explore the powerful, raw discussions at our Ambitious Women's Dinner in Toronto, where female entrepreneurs gathered to share their journeys and support each other.
