Podcasts about emotional health

Around the world, churches are working hard to make disciples, lead faithfully, and impact their communities. Yet many leaders are exhausted, relationships are strained, and spiritual growth feels shallow or stalled. Why?In this episode, Pete Scazzero addresses a core truth that often goes unnamed: emotional health is the missing link in the global church. Drawing from his own painful leadership crisis and decades of ministry experience, Pete explains why it's impossible to be spiritually mature while remaining emotionally immature. He explores how unaddressed emotional issues limit discipleship, distort leadership, and quietly undermine the church's witness—no matter how strong our theology or vision may be.In this conversation, Pete unpacks:Why emotional health is foundational—not optional—to spiritual maturityHow cultural, theological, and leadership blind spots keep the church stuckThe biblical and theological roots of emotionally healthy spiritualityWhat emotionally healthy leadership looks like in real-life ministryHow redefining success can transform churches and communitiesPete challenges leaders to slow down, go beneath the surface, and embrace emotional health as God's pathway to deeper transformation—personally, relationally, and globally.If you long to see a healthier, more Christlike church—and know it must start with you—this episode will reframe how you think about discipleship, leadership, and success.Listen now and take your next step toward building emotionally healthy leaders and churches around the world.▶️ Learn more about Emotionally Healthy Discipleship and spiritual maturity http://www.emotionallyhealthy.org/matureThe SEHL is a 16-week online course for leaders who want to deepen their life with Jesus while gaining practical tools to disciple others.

In today's conversation, former CFL player Steve White joins the podcast to share the story of how his life unraveled — and how he rebuilt it from the ground up. After years of concussions, post-concussion syndrome, seizures, illness, and personal loss, Steve hit rock bottom. What followed wasn't a recovery, but a full reconstruction: rebuilding his brain, body, and faith through disciplined systems rooted in breath, movement, environment, nutrition, nervous-system regulation, and purpose. In this conversation, Steve explains how brain injuries reshape emotion and identity, why trust in yourself must be rebuilt deliberately, and how science and faith-based discipline can bring someone back from the edge. If you want to understand what it takes to come back from neurological collapse and build a life that's stronger than ever, this episode is for you. This podcast dives into: How concussions and PCS alter brain health and emotional regulation. The hidden psychological toll of neurological injury. Rebuilding self-trust after physical and personal collapse. The mindset behind the Brae 100 method.

Send us a textWe all have an inner dialogue. But how often do we lead it?In this episode of Think Again & Be, we explore the biblical practice of speaking to the soul—training the inner voice to align with truth, faith, and joy rather than fear, anxiety, or circumstance.Building on the previous episode Thanksgiving by Faith, this conversation looks at how faith is voice-activated, how joy is cultivated from the inside out, and why Scripture repeatedly shows God's people talking to themselves before they speak to the world.From David encouraging himself in the Lord, to Jeremiah finding hope in the darkest moment, to Habakkuk choosing joy before the harvest, we see that transformation often begins with rightful self-talk.This episode is an invitation to reclaim your inner voice— to speak faith, remember truth, and create an atmosphere of joy that sustains life.Scriptures ReferencedPsalm 42:5; 43:5Lamentations 3:241 Samuel 30:6Habakkuk 3:16–19Psalm 91:2Joel 3:10Philemon 1:6–7Key ThemesFaith is voice-activatedSpeaking to the soulJoy as an atmosphere, not a moodAnxiety is not your identityTraining the inner voiceThanksgiving, praise, and joy as a cycleGet Your Hopes Up!@damiteninwww.bydami.comwww.tribalmarks.com

Procrastination isn't laziness — it's a signal calling you back to stillness, clarity, and aligned action.In this episode of Tao Dialogues, we explore the stillness before action — a Taoist approach to ending procrastination and perfectionism without force, pressure, or self-criticism.Rather than pushing yourself forward, this teaching invites you inward — to the sacred pause where Shen (inner wisdom and clarity) aligns and true action is born. We uncover how procrastination often arises from the Inner Child's need for safety, not a lack of discipline, and how wu wei (effortless effort) restores natural momentum.You'll learn how to:Stop fighting procrastination and listen to its messageRelease perfectionism without lowering your standardsUse stillness as preparation, not avoidanceTake aligned action that flows from truth, not fearRead the blog post that inspired this episode: https://davidjameslees.substack.com/p/shifting-the-storyOur Tao Dialogues are powerful yet gentle teachings about authenticity, spirituality and finding emotional balance and flow in everyday life.

Send us a textA quiet lie can steer a whole life. We sat down with Pastor Gary Thomas, author of Living the Life You Were Reborn to Live: Dismantling 12 Lies That Rob Your Intimacy with God, to name the deceptions that slip into our thinking, even inside church walls, and to rebuild a vision of intimacy with God that can weather real storms. From the first moments, we trace how distraction has become the pattern of our age and why a renewed mind is the only way back to delight, trust, and fruitful obedience.Gary takes us behind his new book and the intentional choice of the word “dismantling”—a call to active agency in pulling down structures that block spiritual growth. We explore how small, untested myths shape daily choices, then map that insight onto spiritual half-truths that leave us frustrated with God. The conversation turns tender and bold when we address “family first.” Jesus warned that allegiance to him can divide households; anchoring identity in the Father's love frees us from chasing validation in our children's responses and equips us to love without bargaining. That shift releases unnecessary shame and restores the courage to hold truth with humility.We also dive into control and the lost art of spiritual adventure. When we surrender outcomes and stay alert to the Spirit's movement, God often uses surprising agents to answer our prayers. Finally, we reframe peace. It isn't situational—stacked on health, money, and harmony—but relational, grounded in the presence of Christ who holds us when the house shakes. If fear imagines futures without God, peace remembers who is with us right now. If this conversation helped you see your life and faith with fresh eyes, subscribe, share it with a friend who needs courage today, and leave a review so more listeners can find the show.Follow Gary Thomas on Instagram: Gary Thomas BooksVisit Gary's Website: Gary Thomas Get the shownotes: SHOWNOTESSupport the showBegin Your Heartlifter's Journey: Support the show: Your Donation Matters Leave a review and rate the podcast: WRITE A REVIEW Make a tax-deductible donation through Heartlift International Visit and subscribe to Heartlift Central on Substack.

Transcript:Ca: Al bell mig d'un petit poble al cor de Catalunya, hi havia una casa gran i acollidora, plena de vida i soroll.En: In the heart of a small village in the core of Catalunya, there was a large and welcoming house, full of life and noise.Ca: A l'hivern, els arbres del jardí estaven coberts d'un mantell blanc de neu.En: In the winter, the trees in the garden were covered by a white mantle of snow.Ca: Era casa de la família de Blai.En: It was the home of Blai's family.Ca: Blai era jove i vivia amb els seus pares i els seus germans, Alba i Pere.En: Blai was young and lived with his parents and his siblings, Alba and Pere.Ca: Tot i l'alegria de la llar, Blai se sentia sovint com una ombra.En: Despite the joy of the household, Blai often felt like a shadow.Ca: Alba i Pere eren molt destacats, ja sigui a l'escola o en les seves activitats.En: Alba and Pere were very prominent, whether at school or in their activities.Ca: Blai, en canvi, acabava d'enfrontar-se a una notícia difícil: necessitava una operació urgent.En: Blai, however, had just faced some difficult news: he needed urgent surgery.Ca: Cada dia abans de la cirurgia, Blai es mirava al mirall intentant trobar valor.En: Every day before the surgery, Blai looked at himself in the mirror trying to find courage.Ca: Els seus pensaments estaven embolicats en pors i dubtes.En: His thoughts were tangled in fears and doubts.Ca: Sentia que no era tan fort com Pere, que sempre afrontava els reptes amb un somriure.En: He felt that he wasn't as strong as Pere, who always faced challenges with a smile.Ca: Ni tan brillant com Alba, que sempre tenia les respostes correctes.En: Nor as bright as Alba, who always had the correct answers.Ca: Una tarda freda, mentre els flocs de neu caient encara cobrien la terra, Blai va decidir parlar amb Alba.En: One cold afternoon, as the falling snowflakes still covered the ground, Blai decided to talk with Alba.Ca: Seia al sofà de la sala d'estar mentre el foc de la llar els abraçava amb la seva escalfor.En: He sat on the couch in the living room as the fireplace embraced them with its warmth.Ca: Ella l'escoltava amb atenció mentre Blai confessava els seus temors de la cirurgia i les seves inseguretats.En: She listened attentively as Blai confessed his fears about the surgery and his insecurities.Ca: —Blai, ets molt més fort del que creus —va dir Alba amb un somriure càlid—.En: "Blai, you are much stronger than you think," said Alba with a warm smile.Ca: Tots tenim por alguna vegada, fins i tot Pere i jo.En: "We all feel fear sometimes, even Pere and I."Ca: Aquella nit, la vigília de la cirurgia, Blai no podia deixar de pensar en les paraules d'Alba.En: That night, on the eve of the surgery, Blai couldn't stop thinking about Alba's words.Ca: Després de sopar, es trobà al menjador amb Pere.En: After dinner, he found himself in the dining room with Pere.Ca: Els nervis van vèncer a Blai i va començar a plorar.En: The nerves got the best of Blai, and he began to cry.Ca: —Ho faràs bé, germà —va dir Pere amb convicció mentre li posava una mà al muscle—.En: "You'll do great, brother," said Pere with conviction as he placed a hand on his shoulder.Ca: Ets part de nosaltres.En: "You are part of us.Ca: Ets fort.En: You are strong."Ca: L'escalfor i el suport dels seus germans el van reconfortar.En: The warmth and support of his siblings comforted him.Ca: Amb els ànims reforçats, Blai va anar al llit, sabent que l'endemà no estaria sol.En: With strengthened spirits, Blai went to bed, knowing that the next day he would not be alone.Ca: El matí següent, la casa es va omplir amb el moviment de la família, tots preparant-se per portar Blai a l'hospital.En: The following morning, the house filled with the movement of the family, all preparing to take Blai to the hospital.Ca: Les preocupacions es van esvair a mesura que Blai sentia l'amor que l'envoltava.En: The worries faded as Blai felt the love that surrounded him.Ca: Quan Blai es preparava per a la cirurgia, s'adonà que no importava la grandesa dels seus germans, sinó la força que trobava en la família.En: As Blai prepared for the surgery, he realized that it didn't matter how great his siblings were, but rather the strength he found in his family.Ca: Va entrar al quiròfan sabent que, vingués el que vingués, sempre hi hauria algú al seu costat.En: He entered the operating room knowing that, come what may, there would always be someone by his side.Ca: L'escalfor dels records d'Alba i Pere va acompanyar-lo, i amb un cor valent, es va adormir amb un somriure.En: The warmth of Alba's and Pere's memories accompanied him, and with a brave heart, he fell asleep with a smile.Ca: Quan va sortir de la cirurgia, va veure les cares somrients de la seva família.En: When he came out of the surgery, he saw the smiling faces of his family.Ca: En aquell moment, va comprendre que mai es tractava de comparacions ni de proves, sinó de ser estimat i tenir coratge.En: At that moment, he understood that it was never about comparisons or tests, but about being loved and having courage.Ca: Va abraçar els seus germans, agraït pel vincle que ara sabia que sempre hi havia estat.En: He hugged his siblings, grateful for the bond that he now knew had always been there.Ca: Amb un sentiment renovat d'autoestima, va saber que podia enfrontar qualsevol cosa amb el suport dels qui l'estimaven.En: With a renewed sense of self-esteem, he knew he could face anything with the support of those who loved him.

Pamela Popper reveals how she lost 50 pounds—and why most diets fail—by confronting the real causes of long-term weight issues. #WeightLossJourney #PlantBasedHealth #HealthTalks

Do you feel heavier, more tired, or spiritually foggy during the darker winter months?  Let's talk honestly about Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), what's actually happening in your body, how reduced light affects your emotions and motivation, and why this struggle doesn't mean your faith is weak. Seasonal Affective Disorder doesn't always announce itself clearly. For many women, it shows up quietly, through lower energy, emotional heaviness, irritability, foggy thinking, or a sense of spiritual distance they can't quite explain. In this episode, I wanted to make this real and human by sharing stories from three women, Chrissie, Melody, and Beth, whose experiences reveal how differently Seasonal Affective Disorder can affect emotions, energy, and faith, especially in darker seasons. This conversation isn't about diagnosing yourself or forcing solutions. It's about understanding what darkness does to the body and nervous system, and how God meets us with compassion instead of shame. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: [00:00] Why Seasonal Affective Disorder Is Real and Why It Affects So Many Women [04:00] What Is Seasonal Affective Disorder and How Does Reduced Light Impact Emotions and Energy? [08:00] Why Does Winter Darkness Affect Motivation, Mood, and Spiritual Clarity? [12:00] How Different Women Experience SAD in Unique Emotional and Physical Ways [17:00] Why Experiencing Seasonal Affective Disorder Doesn't Mean Your Faith Is Weak [18:00] How Can SAD Be Reframed as a “Wilderness Season” Instead of a Personal Failure? [22:00] How God Uses Darker Seasons to Invite Deeper Awareness and Growth [23:00] Using the A.D.D. Model to Confidently Manage Emotions During SAD [28:00] What Practical Supports Help the Body and Nervous System During SAD? [31:00] Why You're Not Alone and Taking Gentle Next Steps Toward Support Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Links to tools and resources mentioned in this episode are shared below to support emotional health and energy during darker months.

What if anxiety, mood swings, and low resilience aren't starting in your mind—but in your gut?In this episode of the Choose 2 Think Inspirational Podcast, host Victoria welcomes Gabe Dough, serial entrepreneur and gut health expert from Good Bru, for a powerful conversation on the brain–gut connection and why the microbiome plays a primary role in mental, emotional, and physical health.Gabe explains why the gut is often called the “second brain,” detailing how its vast network of neurons and its communication with the brain through the vagus nerve influence mood, cognitive function, stress response, and overall nervous system health. Together, Victoria and Gabe unpack how the microbiome helps produce key neurotransmitters like serotonin, regulates inflammation, and impacts digestion, immunity, and hormone balance.Throughout the episode, Gabe shares practical insights on how everyday lifestyle choices—especially diet, fiber intake, exercise, and stress—shape the health of the gut microbiome. He also clarifies the difference between helpful and harmful fibers, explains the role of prebiotics and probiotics, and highlights why many people experience worsened symptoms when gut health is overlooked.The conversation concludes with five practical actions listeners can take to begin supporting their gut health immediately, reinforcing a holistic, whole-body approach to wellness. This episode is a clear reminder that when we care for the gut, we support the brain—and when we support the brain, we strengthen the entire body.The gut functions as a “second brain,” influencing mood, cognition, and emotional regulationSerotonin is primarily produced in the gut and plays a major role in mental well-beingGut dysbiosis can increase inflammation, anxiety, and stress sensitivityLifestyle choices—diet, fiber, exercise, and stress—directly affect the microbiomeSupporting gut health is essential for holistic mental and physical wellness00:00 Introduction to the Brain–Gut Connection15:04 How Gut Health Impacts Mental Health20:45 Dysbiosis and Its Consequences26:22 Gut Health and Chronic Disease31:03 Holistic Health: The Body–Mind Connection42:35 Prebiotics vs. Probiotics Explained49:22 Introducing GoodBru and Gut Support54:15 OutroVisit www.goodbru.com and use the promo code CHOOSE2THINK for 10% off your first order!

We think laughter is a response to something funny.A joke. A punchline. A light moment.But listen closely to real conversations, and laughter shows up in places that are far more important than we realize - and often when nothing is funny at all.Neuroscientist Sophie Scott CBE reveals what laughter really signals, how it works, and why it quietly shapes our relationships, our hierarchies, and our sense of belonging.Sophie Scott is a professor at University College London and one of the world's leading researchers on the science of laughter.

Explore how early conditioning shapes your inner voice, and how to return to your wise, authentic self.Do you know whose voice is guiding your decisions? In this Life Lesson, we explore how the Inner Child absorbs the beliefs, expectations, and emotional rules of authority figures — and how those inherited voices can quietly shape our adult lives. Through Taoist wisdom, we learn how to distinguish conditioned thinking from our true inner knowing and wise inner guide, reconnect with our inherent worth, and gently return to authenticity, clarity, and alignment. This is an invitation to stop living by inherited rules and begin trusting the quiet truth within.With your hosts, David James Lees (ordained Taoist monk, emotional and spiritual health teacher) and Alexandra Lees (mindset and business coach).Discover our online consultations, events and shop: https://www.wuweiwisdom.comSubscribe to David's FREE Journal: https://davidjameslees.substack.com/Other related teachings on our YouTube channel that will help you:SHEN (THE SPIRITUAL SELF) PLAYLIST https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9NQ_PWX4zIBmp50wYcmU7jCBLp1Qvl-jShen (The Spiritual Self) Guided Meditation https://youtu.be/BM2CNYvI45Y?si=KLQdxovVFqbxDYNaINNER CHILD PLAYLIST  https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9NQ_PWX4zICGLRS1b7q1HSJhZRash5qqIs there a question you'd like answered on the show?

In this deeply personal and hope-filled episode of the Choose to Think Inspirational Podcast, Victoria invites listeners into an honest conversation about self-control, grief, surrender, and the quiet exhaustion that comes from trying to do life in our own strength.Drawing from her own experiences—memories of her father, moments of self-pity, struggles with temptation, and the pressure of performance—Victoria explores what it truly means to be a vessel for God's love rather than the source of it. She unpacks how striving hardens the heart and exhausts the mind, while surrender opens the door to healing, restoration, and renewed joy.Blending Scripture, lived wisdom, and accessible brain science, this episode gently reframes failure—not as disqualification, but as a place where God's grace can flow most freely. Victoria reminds us that our worth is not earned through achievement, that brokenness does not cancel calling, and that humility and accountability are powerful pathways to emotional and spiritual healing.The episode closes with a heartfelt prayer and an invitation to step out of self-reliance and into the steady, sustaining presence of God.Self-control is a lifelong journey, not a finish lineGrief often surfaces through memories and emotional triggersSurrender interrupts self-pity and restores clarity and peaceAwareness of our thoughts is the first step toward renewalWe are vessels for God's love—not the source of itOur worth is rooted in who we are, not what we doFailure does not disqualify us; it can deepen our capacity to loveBrokenness can become part of our beauty and testimonyGod's grace is always available, even after serious mistakesHumility and accountability are essential for emotional healing00:00 – Introduction & Personal Reflections03:13 – Navigating Grief and Memories06:02 – Self-Pity and Spiritual Growth09:15 – The Struggle with Self-Control12:00 – Surrendering to God's Will14:38 – Being a Vessel for God's Love19:09 – Understanding Our Worth23:13 – Performance vs. Purpose26:00 – Embracing Failure and Grace28:55 – Closing Reflections and Prayer34:26 – Outro

On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared introduces a refined Emotional Vitality format and tackles one of the most common struggles in modern life: overwhelm. Rather than being a mindset failure or lack of willpower, overwhelm is explained as a nervous system state—specifically a freeze response driven by brain chemistry and stress signaling. Jared breaks down what's happening neurologically, why procrastination is often protection, and how clarity and motivation shut down under chronic stress. You'll learn practical, science-grounded tools to regulate your nervous system through simple physical actions, breathing, language shifts, and small, specific steps that restore agency. Supplement support like magnesium, ashwagandha, L-theanine, and B vitamins is discussed as supportive—not corrective—tools. This episode is about skill-building, self-leadership, and learning how to move forward when life feels heavy.Products:Magnesium BisglycinateUltimate Vitality MultiActive B ComplexAnxiety ReleaseSensoril AshwagandhaL-TheanineVitality Radio POW!

When dismissive language and rigid beliefs are normalized, religious and political bullying becomes acceptable, and it doesn't stop with adults. It bleeds into schools, families, and developing nervous systems. This is a mental health crisis, not a debate.The conversation explores how healing begins with responsibility. Practicing emotional regulation, living the Golden Rule, and modeling respect create the foundation for collective healing. Real change requires moving from reactive outrage to proactive care and taking mental and emotional health seriously at every level.You'll Learn:[00:00] Introduction[01:02] Why school shutdowns expose how unsafe “normal” has become[02:08] How violence reflects a mental and emotional health crisis, not a single issue[03:12] What global events reveal about religion and ideology driving division[04:25] The danger of becoming numb to shootings and public grief[06:01] Why children's fear signals a societal breaking point[08:14] How lockdown drills shape a child's nervous system and sense of safety[10:47] Why moral certainty and righteousness are eroding empathy and respect[15:22] How personal responsibility becomes the only real starting point for change[19:08] Why hiding behind religion or politics blocks compassion instead of creating safety[23:41] How the Golden Rule offers a simple but demanding standard for behavior[27:56] Why teaching children respect and grace matters more than winning arguments[31:12] How being proactive about mental and emotional health changes the future[34:08] Why lasting change depends on choosing to model what society needs nextFind More From Dr. Stephanie Davis:Dr. Stephanie Davis | WebsiteQuantum Rx | InstagramQuantum Rx | Skool

In this raw and powerful episode, Kristen sits down with Dr. Chris Lee—executive consultant, leadership expert, and nervous system educator—for a deeply human conversation that challenges how we think about emotional regulation, productivity, and performance.Together, they unpack why mindset alone isn't enough, why burnout is more than just a busy calendar, and how unresolved emotional patterns are silently influencing everything from our parenting to our leadership. Chris shares vulnerably from his own story of grief, trauma, and growth—and offers practical insights for learning how to regulate before you rewire.Whether you're a high performer stuck in overdrive or a parent trying to model emotional intelligence at home, this episode will shift your perspective in the best possible way.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why nervous system health is the real key to sustainable successThe difference between strategic burnout and emotional burnoutThe two most common dysregulated response types—and how to spot themHow to identify and work with your “parts” (IFS therapy breakdown)Why overstimulation (infobesity) is killing creativity and clarityChris's personal story of loss, self-leadership, and healingHow to model nervous system regulation for your kidsWhy self-care is leadership, not luxuryKey Takeaways:“If the flower doesn't bloom, you don't blame the flower—you change the environment.”High performance without regulation is a fast track to burnout.Information is no longer behind the paywall—implementation is.Kids learn emotional regulation not by what we say, but by how we live.“Regulate first. Rewire second.”About the Guest:Dr. Chris Lee is a behavioral neuroscientist, executive coach, and founder of Elemental Shift Consulting, a leadership and wellness company helping individuals and organizations build emotionally intelligent, purpose-driven systems. Every month, Dr. Chris reaches over 30 million people through his content—teaching executives, creators, and everyday humans how to better understand and befriend their nervous systems.His work focuses on the intersection of behavioral neuroscience, emotional regulation, and modern leadership—guiding people to live more purposeful, productive lives by aligning biology with intention.He's also the host of Wired for Wonder, a podcast that explores the habits, rituals, and perspectives of high-performing individuals living with meaning, creativity, and heart.Outside of consulting and content creation, Dr. Chris is a devoted homeschooling father to his extraordinary daughter and—like the rest of us—is still learning to take care of himself.To learn more, follow him on social media

Learn why you believe something is wrong with you or that success feels unsafe — this is the Inner Child vow you never questioned.In this episode of Tao Dialogues, we explore The Inner Child's vow — an unconscious belief formed in childhood that can create self-doubt, anxiety, and self-sabotage, even when life is going well. Through Taoist wisdom, wu wei (effortless effort), and Shen spirituality, we gently uncover how this survival vow shaped our behaviour, and how it can be dissolved without force, self-criticism, or confrontation. This dialogue is for anyone ready to release old conditioning, trust life again, and return to alignment, flow, and authenticity. Nothing within you is broken. This is a return — not a repair.Read the blog post that inspired this episode:https://davidjameslees.substack.com/p/the-inner-childs-vowOur Tao Dialogues are powerful yet gentle teachings about authenticity, spirituality and finding emotional balance and flow in everyday life.

Welcome to the first Raising Serotonin episode of 2026!!! I wanted to kick this year off by talking about something that's been sitting heavy with me, the idea that glow ups are still being framed as mostly physical. Hair, nails, Botox, weight… and almost no conversation around mental health. And personally, I believe every single one of us can always be working on our mental health.In this episode of Raising Serotonin, I talk about why physical changes alone don't create lasting happiness, and why mindset, emotional health, gut health, and daily habits matter just as much, if not more. I share what my own 2026 glow up looks like, including starting my counseling practicum and stepping fully into the work I feel called to do: listening, supporting, and helping others heal. This year isn't about changing how I look, it's about growing mentally, emotionally, and professionally.I also break down what a mental health glow up can actually look like, because it's different for everyone. There's no timeline, no pressure to change everything at once, and no “right” way to do this. Whether you're focusing on therapy, movement, boundaries, nutrition, or simply being more mindful, you have the next 11 months to grow and growth can start anytime you choose.I talk about two specific things I'm intentionally working on this year: letting go of chasing a number on the scale and being more mindful of my screen time. The scale can quietly mess with our heads, and social media, while useful,  can be incredibly draining if we're not careful. Protecting our peace matters.This episode is a reminder that the work is daily, not seasonal. There is no finish line. The goal is to get 1% better, show up with intention, and choose growth even when it's uncomfortable. You deserve to feel good. You don't have to sit in pain this year. And I'm so glad you're here growing with me.Get your Raising Serotonin Merch here! FOLLOW RAISING SEROTONIN ON INSTAGRAM HERE Support the show

More often, it surfaces quietly through things like physical symptoms, emotional exhaustion, and a slow erosion of joy. This episode centers on how living out of alignment impacts the nervous system, the body, and long-term wellbeing, especially for high-functioning, purpose-driven people.A real world story illustrates how mental and emotional strain can accumulate beneath the surface, eventually manifesting as physical consequences that can no longer be ignored. The pattern is familiar: years of “shoulds,” pushing, and over-leveraging… followed by a moment when the body draws a hard line.This conversation is especially relevant for anyone interested in nervous system regulation, mind-body medicine, integrative health, or understanding how unresolved stress and trauma affect the body over time. Alignment isn't about perfection. It's about honesty, awareness, and choosing a path that supports both health and life.You'll Learn:[00:00] Introduction[04:52] The hidden cost of living by “shoulds” instead of what actually feels aligned[09:14] What happens when stress and misalignment start showing up in the body[12:01] The moment making money quietly replaces fulfillment without you noticing[17:08] What changes when you stop outsourcing your intuition to experts and templates[21:36] The slow erosion of confidence that comes from not trusting yourself[27:45] The role identity confusion plays in burnout, anxiety, and feeling stuck[34:12] What real self-honesty looks like before alignment can return[39:58] Why surface-level mindset work can't resolve deeper misalignment[46:41] The warning signs of unhealthy power dynamics with coaches or gurus[52:14] The skill of taking advice without giving away your authorityFind More From Dr. Stephanie Davis:Dr. Stephanie Davis | WebsiteQuantum Rx | InstagramQuantum Rx | Skool

Have you ever felt pressure to keep the peace and ended up saying “yes” when a big part of you wanted to say “no”? In this episode, we unpack people pleasing – and, at its extreme, fawning – an often misunderstood coping response rooted in survival. We’re joined by Lia Love Avellino, LCSW, director of head and heart at The Well, to explore how boundaries, emotional health, and lived experience intersect. Lia helps us recognize the physical cues that signal self-abandonment – like a tight chest, knotted stomach, or shaky voice – and offers tools to pause, check in with the body, and name what you truly need. Because boundaries aren’t barriers; they’re meeting places that make more honest, authentic connection possible.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
