In this reflective episode, Colleen shares a deeply personal moment—learning she couldn't qualify to assume the mortgage on her own home—and how that realization became a masterclass in emotional sobriety, choice, and self-trust. What begins as a financial obstacle unfolds into a powerful teaching on energetic alignment and cognitive reframing. When life tells you "you can't," your mind begins to collapse into fear, scarcity, and victimhood. But when you pause to challenge that narrative, you remember: you always have a choice. She walks through the process of shifting from agitation to awareness—examining her story line by line, regulating her emotions, and reclaiming her sense of agency. Through this lens, even discomfort becomes data, showing where your thinking needs to evolve. She shares how: Victim and survivor often face the same reality—the difference is in the response. Feeling "stuck" is always a story, not a sentence. Manifestation isn't magic; it's energetic coherence between thought, feeling, and choice. Power begins when you care more about how you feel now than what you think should happen next. Ultimately, this episode invites listeners to practice self-leadership—to stop, drop, and feel what's true before reacting, and then rewrite the story from a place of grounded power.
Send us a textRHOSLC Season 6 Episode 8 Loose Lips Sink Friend ShipsThe yacht trip on The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City continues with a heavy dose of hangovers and even heavier drama. Bronwyn wakes up on the deck after another rough night with Britani, while Heather nurses her own hangover and reflects with Whitney about what to do when a friend won't admit to wrongdoing. Lisa, hoping for sympathy, confides in Meredith about how she was treated the night before, but her attempts to clear the air fall flat when the rest of the group scatters the moment she appears. Things take a turn when Britani starts talking about Bronwyn within earshot, sparking yet another storm of overheard gossip.The tension explodes as Bronwyn tells Mary and Angie what she overheard, and soon everyone's accusing everyone of something. On the way to their snorkeling excursion, Bronwyn claims Britani was flirting with a crew member, and then Angie stirs things further by alleging Lisa once said her friend made out with Todd while he “farted the entire time.” Lisa denies nothing convincingly, while Mary delivers the unforgettable line, “Why is he farting?” The laughter is short-lived as the group struggles to maintain civility amid the island sunshine.A trip to the picturesque Tobago Cays offers temporary peace. Heather swims with stingrays, Whitney wins a beach drinking game, and Angie manages to injure her hand in yet another slapstick moment that brings Captain Jason running. Back on the yacht, Heather hosts a “Zombie Night” dinner meant to resurrect old fights for fun—but, predictably, the evening descends into real conflict. Bronwyn confronts Lisa for dragging her family into gossip, and Lisa promises to stop, though the tension between them simmers beneath the surface.Just when it seems the women might end the night on a calm note, Britani—fresh from being sick overboard—reignites chaos by bringing up a TikTok about Meredith's husband's alleged indiscretions. Meredith snaps, calling Britani a liar and throwing something across the table as Whitney confirms she saw the video too. Captain Jason arrives mid-fight to find the women screaming and slinging accusations once again. By the end of “Loose Lips Sink Friendships,” the only thing truly afloat is the drama, proving that even paradise can't keep these Housewives from sinking their own friendships.TakeawaysThe title 'Loose Lips, Sink Friendships' resonates across all franchises.The yacht trip highlights the complexities of friendships among the cast.Trust issues are prevalent, especially regarding Lisa's honesty.Confrontations often escalate quickly, leading to dramatic moments.Humor, like fart jokes, plays a significant role in the show's appeal.Personal insights about snorkeling reveal character depth.The thematic dinner adds a creative twist to the episode.Emotional outbursts often lead to physical reactions, like throwing things.Meredith and Seth's relationship is a recurring topic of concern.Family dynamics and their impact on friendships are crucial themes.Support the showhttps://www.wewinewhenever.com/

In this part 3 of our Attachment series, therapist Rebecca Prolman joins John Kim to unpack how childhood misattunement wires shame, why anger isn't the enemy, and how “emotional completion” helps you reclaim the parts you exiled to survive. They explore corrective relationships (why real safety can feel scary), co-regulation for kids, and practical steps to move from fawning to sovereignty. Key topics & takeaways: Shame as a survival strategy that blocks primary emotions (grief/anger) Emotional completion: feeling what shame protected so it can release Co-regulation vs. punishment/time-outs for children's anger Corrective relationships: safety, grief, and why “boring” can be secure Depth sustains attraction; chemistry alone burns out Naming early ruptures without making caregivers “villains” Methods mentioned: NARM — Neuro-Affective Relational Model (Dr. Laurence Heller ).

In this heart-stirring exploration of the prophet Elisha's miracle for the destitute widow, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath invites us to uncover our own “cruse of oil” the indestructible spark of holiness within. Drawing from Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi's profound interpretation, we discover that the widow's empty vessels are our empty actions, our daily deeds done even without inspiration. When we keep showing up, praying, loving, giving, building those vessels eventually overflow with divine oil. This class takes the ancient story and turns it into a living roadmap for reigniting the soul when we feel emotionally or spiritually numb.Takeaways:Every soul possesses a pure “cruse of oil” an unbreakable core of divine essence untouched by pain, doubt, or apathy.When inspiration runs dry, the key is action: fill your life with “empty vessels” of goodness, even if your heart isn't fully in it yet.Emotional numbness doesn't mean the soul has died it's a signal that something deeper is ready to be rediscovered.Love, awe, and purpose can be reclaimed through consistent small acts of holiness they become the vessels for divine flow.The moment the spark reawakens, all your past “empty” deeds become filled with meaning, joy, and light.#Bible #Kabbalah #Judaism #Jewish #mysticism #jewishmysticism #chassidus #chassidut #spiritualgrowth #Rabbi #chabad #spiritualgrowth #inspiration #soul #essence #Spiritual #divinespark Sign up for "The Forgiveness Lab" HERE: https://www.jewishndg.com/civicrm/event/info?reset=1&id=89Support the showGot your own question for Rabbi Bernath?

Resilient Couples: How to Stay Strong Through Life's Hardest Challenges Summary: In this inspiring episode of the Human Intimacy Podcast, Dr. Kevin Skinner and MaryAnn Michaelis, LCSW, explore what it means to build resiliency as individuals and as couples—especially in the face of life's most difficult challenges. Drawing from personal experiences, research, and decades of clinical work, they discuss the essential components of resilience: adaptability, emotional regulation, flexibility, and hope. The conversation delves into why emotional self-awareness is the foundation of resilient relationships, how couples can “fight well,” and what it means to create safety before deeper connection can occur. They reference experts such as Dr. Al Siebert, Dr. Dan Siegel, Dr. Stephen Porges, and Dr. Martin Seligman, offering insights into the neurobiology of resilience and the relational skills that sustain connection through adversity. Listeners will walk away with practical strategies to strengthen their emotional core, improve communication, and cultivate hope—even in seasons of deep pain or uncertainty. Key Takeaways: Resiliency begins with emotional regulation and self-awareness. Adaptability and flexibility are learned skills that sustain connection. Safety is the foundation for relational repair after trauma. Emotional intelligence helps us stay curious and connected rather than reactive. Hope is a neurological process—and a critical part of healing together.

After betrayal, couples often feel like they're living the same story, but in completely different timelines. One partner feels miles ahead, ready to rebuild, while the other is still reeling from the shock. This is The Lag - the time delay between awareness, understanding, and emotional readiness in the aftermath of infidelity. In this episode, Luke explains how The Lag shows up in two major phases, first, the delay in awareness between the unfaithful and betrayed partner, and later, the difference in perception as healing begins. He explores deeper layers too, emotional regulation, motivation, identity, and trust, showing how each partner can exist in a different emotional time zone even when they both want repair. You'll learn how to recognise The Lag, stop blaming each other for being “out of sync,” and start walking together again, even when your clocks don't match. Key Takeaways: The Lag is the invisible time delay in awareness, understanding, and healing between partners after betrayal. The unfaithful has been living the truth for longer, the betrayed is only just discovering it. Emotional and physiological recovery move slower than cognitive understanding. Rebuilding trust takes time, being consistent matters more than being “seen.” The goal isn't perfect synchrony; it's staying connected while the clocks re-align. Connect & Continue the Journey If you've recognised The Lag in your own story, you're not alone; it's one of the most common patterns after infidelity. Luke's coaching and The After the Affair Collective community are designed to help you bridge that gap, building clarity, calm, and connection at your own pace.

Fraud usually gets talked about in numbers like how much money was stolen, how many people were affected, how many cases got filed. But behind every one of those numbers is a person who's been blindsided, manipulated, or left trying to rebuild trust in others and in themselves. This episode shifts the focus back to those human stories and the fight to protect them. My guest, Freddie Massimi, has spent more than a decade helping scam victims find both financial and emotional recovery, bringing empathy and understanding to a field that too often feels cold and procedural. As a certified financial crimes investigator and program manager at The Knoble, Freddie has made it his mission to bridge the gap between institutions and individuals. He shares the heartbreaking and hopeful moments that define his work including one phone call that saved a life. Along with how that experience changed the way he thinks about what true fraud prevention really means. Freddie also opens up about The Knoble's Post-Scam Victimization Guide, a collaborative, trauma-informed resource designed to help victims regain control of their lives and prevent re-victimization. From crypto scams to romance cons, he explains how these schemes keep evolving, why empathy is still one of the best tools we have, and how every fraud fighter can make a difference simply by listening and responding with humanity.

Billboard recently honored Shakira with their Global Touring Icon award, which she received backstage at her Cali concert and dedicated to her entire team.The tour's production has been described as the most ambitious of her career, featuring elaborate stage design, custom fashion, and even a CGI animated version of Shakira created by Los Angeles-based Actual Objects.

Protein sources, seed oil panic, aspartame fears — nutritional scientist Dr. Layne Norton dismantles the internet's favorite fitness myths here!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1234What We Discuss with Dr. Layne Norton:Total protein intake matters more than source. Once you consume 30-40 grams of protein in a sitting, the specific source becomes largely irrelevant since the muscle-building signal gets saturated.Aspartame fears are scientifically unfounded. Despite popular panic, artificial sweeteners don't cause insulin spikes, increase hunger, or cause diabetes. Cancer risks only appear at 10,000x normal consumption in lab rats.Context over absolutes defines expert communication. Real experts rarely use words like "always," "never," "best," or "worst." They provide nuance, acknowledge uncertainty, and present opposing viewpoints before explaining their position.Emotional manipulation drives supplement marketing. The more exclamation points and extreme claims in marketing, the less likely it's legitimate. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, not just assertion.Listen to how fitness experts (or any experts, for that matter) speak, not just what they say. Train yourself to recognize measured, contextual language that acknowledges complexity. When you spot fear-mongering or absolute statements, investigate deeper and demand evidence before accepting claims.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!

What if the very place you went for safety, love, and divine wisdom turned out to be the scene of the crime? Today we're diving headfirst into the world of spiritual abuse. This week, I'm joined by Katherine Spearing, founder of Tears of Eden, trauma recovery practitioner, and author of a new book, A Thousand Tiny Paper Cuts. If you've ever been told that “God doesn't want your happiness, He wants your holiness” while you were slowly disintegrating inside, well, friend, you're in for a ride. Buckle up, because we're talking:Why spiritual abuse is often so subtle you won't realize you're bleeding out until you're halfway through a panic attackHow high-control religious environments get you to abuse yourself (sick, right?)The toxic theology that turns God into a cranky toddler with a lightning boltKey Takeaways:Spiritual abuse is real, complex, and often normalized. Just because it's subtle doesn't mean it's not wrecking your soul.You're not wrong for wanting peace, freedom, and autonomy. That's not “selfish.” That's survival.Religious trauma isn't just in your head. It's in your nervous system, and it needs gentle care to heal.You get to get your mail from God. Not from your pastor, your husband, or some elder board in polyester pants.Patriarchy is the backbone of most spiritual abuse. If your theology only benefits dudes, it's not the gospel, it's a con.There's a whole beach of freedom outside that toxic church sandbox. And God's not mad you left.Read the full show notes and/or ask Natalie a question hereRelated Resources:Grab a copy of Katherine's book, A Thousand Tiny Paper CutsConnect with Katherine on InstagramHop on Katherine's mailing list and get some free resources while you're on her site.

Do you ever feel like no matter how hard you try, it's never enough? That is the trap of perfectionism — and today, we're breaking it in Jesus' name. Before we dive in, Sister… it's November, which means my 21-Day Christian Fitness Challenge is open right now— and only this month. If perfectionism has been sabotaging your fitness, food choices, routines, or confidence… this is the Christ-centered refresh your mind, body, and spirit need before the holidays. Join now at https://kimdolanleto.com/christianfitnesschallenge ➞ In This Episode, I Share 3 Godly Ways to Break Free From the Trap of Perfectionism 1. How perfectionism really started I talk about how the "never enough" mindset often begins in childhood and why so many of us end up replaying it in our health, habits, relationships, and spiritual lives. This is where God begins healing the root. Scripture: "His grace is sufficient for you, for His power is made perfect in weakness." — 2 Corinthians 12:9 2. Why performance will never give you peace The enemy uses pressure to exhaust us, guilt us, and push us into all-or-nothing living. But Jesus leads us with peace, not pressure. Scriptures: "Come to Me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." — Matthew 11:28 "You are complete in Him." — Colossians 2:10 3. How to trade perfection for faithfulness This is the real shift: choosing progress over perfection and trusting God in the small, steady steps. Not flawless eating. Not perfect workouts. Not rigid routines. Just faithfulness. Foundational Scripture: "It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves submit again to a yoke of bondage…" — Galatians 5:1 November-Only Challenge Reminder If this message hits home, the 21-Day Christian Fitness Challenge will help you break the perfectionism cycle and rebuild your health and habits with Jesus at the center. Inside the Challenge: Daily devotionals Scripture calendar Reflection questions Emotional-eating support A full Jesus-centered fitness reset Grab your spot before November ends: https://kimdolanleto.com/christianfitnesschallenge ➞ Have a question for me? Leave it in a YouTube comment or in an Apple Podcasts or Spotify review — I read every one. If this episode blessed you… Would you share it with a friend? It might be the breakthrough she's been praying for. Remember, You are Strong. Confident. His. Kim Dolan Leto
A queer South Asian woman's story takes center stage at the start of season 7 of the True Fiction Project! I'm Reenita Hora, your host, diving into the groundbreaking world of queer storytelling with writer, comedian, and filmmaker Aneri Shah. We'll explore her journey from pre-med student to documentary filmmaking, her Eyebrow Queens podcast, and her television comedy pilot she's written called, Not Quite, which is about queer reinvention. Aneri discusses creating LGBTQ+ content that challenges cultural norms and the absence of South Asian women filmmakers creating authentic bisexual coming-out stories. This episode features a concept teaser called Not Quite, demonstrating emotional authenticity in creating authentic LGBTQ+ content about cultural identity and women's friendship dynamics.What You'll Learn in This Episode: How queer South Asian representation is breaking new ground in television through comedy writing and independent film production that centers around South Asian women filmmakersThe creative journey from documentary filmmaking about ER physicians during the pandemic to developing LGBTQ+ television pilots that explore bisexual coming-out stories and cultural identity explorationThe power of podcast creation as a tool for discovering your voice and building community around queer South Asian representation and non-conformist life pathsHow creative reinvention happens gradually through embracing uncertainty, shedding labels, and creating LGBTQ+ content that explores women's friendship dynamics and self-actualizationSubscribe to Reenita's Storytelling Den on Substack for free at https://substack.com/@reenitahora and to her YouTube channel to watch the video version of this episode! https://www.youtube.com/@reenymalCheck out her website to stay up-to-date on events, book releases and more! https://reenita.com/TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Aneri Shah, a South Asian woman filmmaker creating LGBTQ+ content about flawed, funny women and her creative reinvention journey from pre-med student to documentary filmmaking 03:52 Creating I'm Doing My Job documentary about ER physicians during the COVID-19 lockdown09:07 Discussion of Not Quite, LGBTQ+ comedy pilot exploring bisexual coming out stories, cultural identity exploration, and shedding labels in your thirties18:30 The importance of emotional authenticity in queer storytelling and representing South Asian American experience beyond parental relationships22:45 Listen to Aneri Shah's concept teaser called Not Quite.KEY TAKEAWAYS: Queer South Asian representation in media is virtually nonexistent for women—while there are examples with men like A Nice Indian Boy, there are no fully realized queer South Asian women characters on screen, making LGBTQ+ television shows. Emotional authenticity is the true superpower in queer storytelling—it's not just about putting a South Asian woman on screen, but making audiences feel her emotions deeplyCreative reinvention and coming out isn't just about sexuality—it's about questioning all the labels and assumptions you've made about yourself, from career paths to life goals, and recognizing that South Asian Women filmmakers can tell stories beyond the lens of parental approvalWomen's friendship dynamics shift dramatically when one friend stops performing and the other continues—exploring how South Asian American experience friendships evolve when someone begins self-actualizing is a universal theme that resonates across all women's relationshipsABOUT THE GUESTS: Aneri Shah is a writer, comedian, and filmmaker obsessed with telling stories about flawed, funny women - because perfect is boring. She hosts Eyebrow Kweenz, a salon-style podcast where guests blurt out their truths, is developing Not Quite, a comedy pilot about her queer reinvention, and directed I'm Doing My Job, a feature documentary about women of color ER physicians during the pandemic.

How 1517 Fund backs young builders and “Wily weirdos” working on sci-fi-level ideas Danielle's philosophy on education, parenting, and fostering genius in children Quotes from Danielle: “We weren't looking for startup founders—we were looking for people on a mission.” “Dog-on-a-leash energy—that's what we look for. We're here to cut the leash.” “Hyperfluency is the ability to geek out with geeks, and still explain your work to your grandma at Thanksgiving.” “These people are kind of mutants—they don't fit in typical systems.” “All kids under five are geniuses. The system just squashes it out of them.” “The most shocking thing? People publicly attacked the Fellows. Not just the program—the people. Teenagers.” “Crazy, crazy awesome—we can't tell if they're insane or brilliant, and it'll take years to find out.” “Big screens good, small screens bad.” “In the future, I want to be funding 11-year-olds. The world won't be ready, but I will be.” “We just want to talk to wily weirdos who want to be around other wily weirdos.”
Ever had one of those days where your emotions run the meeting, instead of you? You're not alone—and this week's episode is all about giving you the tools to handle those moments with skill (and way less shame).In this episode, we are getting real about the very real challenges ADHD business owners face when emotions take the wheel. No HR department, no middle manager… and nowhere to run when your brain decides to get unhinged.I'm introducing the SPACE Framework, a practical, easy-to-remember tool designed for ADHD brains to manage those high-intensity situations. (If you love frameworks and acronyms, you're in for a treat— your activated brain will actually remember it. Here's a sneak peek at what you'll learn:Spot Your Patterns: Start by noticing your personal triggers—client feedback, high-stakes moments, unclear expectations, time pressure, or those awkward money conversations. I'm sharing physical, emotional, and environmental early warning signs, so you can spot trouble before it hits.Pause the Escalation: Meet the powerful 90-second rule. Emotional chemicals peak and recede in just 90 seconds—if you don't feed them. I share micro-pause techniques you can use in the moment (think hydration breaks, “Let me think for a second,” or strategic note-taking) to ride out the waves.Act in the Moment: When you're already activated, it's about damage control, not perfection. Lower your voice, slow your speech, stick to the facts— I've got you with scripts and tips for how to stay in control when you feel anything but.Clear the Air: Messed up? (We all do!) Learn how to take professional accountability—without over-apologizing or spiraling in shame. Clear, direct language for addressing emotional incidents and a real-world repair timeline are included.Evolve Your System: Set up prevention tools, emotional “first aid,” and recovery supports so you're not always in crisis mode. From environmental tweaks (noise-cancelling headphones, standing desks) to business systems that support your brain, this episode covers it all.Grab Your Free Resource! To make this episode even more actionable, I created a downloadable PDF that breaks down the SPACE Framework with easy-to-use scripts and examples. Get your copy hereTry ONE thing from the episode this week—maybe it's noticing your triggers, preparing a “pause phrase,” or just putting a big water bottle on your desk before calls. Small steps, big changes.You got this!Have a friend this would be great for, but they have a job, not their own business?

When was the last time you truly paused and asked yourself, "How am I really doing?" As single mums, it's easy to get caught in survival mode; you're holding everything together for everyone else, while quietly ignoring how you're actually feeling. But when we suppress emotions, they don't go away - they simply pile up, turning into overwhelm, burnout, or resentment. This episode is your reminder that emotions aren't the enemy - ignoring them is. So, take a moment for you, and let's learn how to tune in, reset, and move forward with more self-awareness and compassion.

Most teams, people and companies don't have a motivation problem - they have a design problem.In this episode I sit down with Ricardo Lopes Costa, founder and CTO of Funifier from Brazil and the author of "The Fantastic Engagement Factory: how to motivate people on a large scale with gamification". We uncover how gamification, psychology, and smart feedback loops can turn apathetic workflows into performance engines people actually want to use. Ricardo's company, Funifier, has worked with global brands like Coca-Cola, HP, Banco do Brasil, and Caixa Econômica Federal, helping them turn dry KPIs into dynamic challenges that spark human motivation — often with billion-dollar impact. Ricardo shares how:A small experiment with locked online lessons accidentally sparked his obsession with engagement.A single leaderboard turned learning into a movement across Brazil.Caixa's “Tamo Junto 9Bi+” initiative became the world's largest gamification case — driving over $1 billion USD in additional profit in just months.Recognition and belonging often outperform money when it comes to performance.Even small businesses — from cupcake stands to ice-cream shops — can gamify experiences to make people participate more.Why the future of leadership lies in designing human experiences, not just managing numbers.“Engagement is not a bonus — it's an asset, just like money or technology.” — Ricardo Lopes CostaIf you're a leader, HR professional, or entrepreneur who wants to build teams that care, perform, and grow — this episode will show you how to make motivation measurable.Key TakeawaysMotivation is designable — when you treat engagement like a system, not a feeling.Recognition > rewards: appreciation drives sustained effort more than money.Start small: pick one unmotivated area, personalize it, make it visible, make it fun.Emotional design is the missing layer in most transformation and culture projects.Everyone — even small businesses — can use gamification principles to spark engagement.

Welcome to Property Unfiltered, a collection of raw and uncensored conversations with Simon Loo and some of the nation's most savvy investors – giving you the insights you need to achieve your property dreams. In this episode, House Finder's Simon Loo and Smart Property Investment's Liam Garman are joined by Isaac, a seasoned investor, to explore how effective property management drives investment success. Isaac shares his journey, which began in 2021 with his first property in Logan, Queensland, growing his portfolio to five properties worth around $4 million. Along the way, he encountered challenges with property managers, having to replace three due to poor communication and a lack of proactive support. Simon emphasises that even initially competent managers can decline without proper oversight, making it crucial for investors to manage and document their property management teams carefully. The discussion also highlights the need for a financial buffer to handle unexpected maintenance issues, as Isaac recounted juggling multiple urgent repairs simultaneously. Health and compliance issues, such as mould, further underscore the importance of vigilance and engaging trustworthy service providers. Emotional factors, including hesitancy to invest outside prime areas, were addressed, with Isaac stressing the value of professional advice and a long-term strategy.

Most people stay distracted because they're addicted to noise and being available all the time. But real power comes from being able to shut the world out and protect your focus.

In this episode of the Addict IIAthlete podcast, Coach Blu Robinson speaks with Sathiya Sam about the complexities of pornography addiction, its impact on individuals and relationships, and the importance of open conversations about sexuality. Sathiya shares his personal journey of overcoming a 15-year addiction and discusses the significance of community support, self-awareness, and shifting one's identity in the recovery process. The conversation also touches on the emotional and relational ramifications of addiction, the role of faith, and practical steps for recognizing and addressing problematic behaviors. Take Aways Sathiya Sam shares his personal journey of overcoming pornography addiction. The average age of first exposure to pornography is between eight and twelve years old. Open conversations about sex and intimacy are crucial for healthy development. Pornography addiction is often linked to intimacy issues rather than sexual gratification. Betrayal trauma can significantly impact relationships when one partner struggles with addiction. Behavioral addictions operate differently than substance addictions, requiring unique approaches to recovery. Recognizing signs of addiction includes changes in viewing patterns and social commitments. Emotional withdrawal can be a significant indicator of dependency on pornography. The relationship bank account concept emphasizes the importance of honesty and integrity in relationships. Finding purpose beyond addiction can aid in recovery and personal growth.

Episode Summary: In this episode of The Advancing Women Podcast, Dr. Kimberly DeSimone explores the science and social conditioning behind women's emotional sensitivity, and reframes it more accurately…as a strength, not a flaw. Research shows that women, on average, have lower baseline serotonin levels than men; but the story doesn't end there. This biological difference interacts with hormonal cycles and cultural expectations to shape how women feel, respond, and are perceived. Dr. DeSimone reveals how emotional responsiveness, so often dismissed as being “too emotional”, is actually a powerful form of emotional intelligence, leadership, and adaptive strength. From boardrooms to families, women's ability to read the room, sense tension, and lead with empathy is not “soft,” it's strategic. This episode offers both a scientific and empowering reframe that helps us honor our depth, protect our energy, and lead from emotional authenticity without apology. In this episode, you'll learn: Why women's serotonin levels affect emotional sensitivity — and what that means for mood and connection. How cultural conditioning distorts emotional intelligence into “overreaction.” The “gendered emotion hierarchy”, and how bias defines which emotions are labeled as strength or weakness. Why empathy and sensitivity are forms of data gatheringand leadership. How to protect your emotional energy through mindful boundaries and self-compassion. Key Takeaways: Sensitivity is strength. Emotional attunement is intelligence. Emotion is data, not drama. Boundaries protect your empathy. Reframing emotional intelligence is revolutionary leadership.

Gout is often dismissed as the outcome of rich food and alcohol, but Heather McKean reveals a deeper story: unresolved anger, shame, and control patterns that crystalize in the body as pain and inflammation. In this episode, Heather unpacks why gout so commonly strikes the feet, how early family dynamics prime a person for “acidic” emotions, and why perfectionism, worry, and feeling trapped can feed flare-ups. Through the composite case of “Marcus,” she traces the path from emotionally absent parenting to high-achieving adulthood laced with suppressed rage—and then offers practical Mind Change steps for releasing bitterness, reclaiming boundaries, and breaking generational cycles.What We Covered
