Chapter Introduction to Prolonged Stress Cycle Dr. AmyVertrees introduces the episode's focus on the prolonged stress cycle, a topic of significant relevance, particularly for female surgeons, given the multitude of stressors present in both medicine and the broader world. She highlights that this subject emerged from discussions within the female boss surgeons group, underscoring its importance and widespread applicability. The Female Boss Surgeons Group Dr. V describes the group of female surgeons who meet weekly, Wednesdays at 6 p.m. Central, and twice a month on Sundays, to discuss topics often overlooked in residency but essential for career advancement and mental well-being. Dr. Vertings' Background and the Boss Business and Surgery Series Dr. V shares her background as a general surgeon and certified coach, emphasizing her experiences in military and civilian settings, as well as in private practice, which inspired her to create the Boss Business and Surgery series. She notes that the business was reinvigorated in 2020 to address new challenges faced by surgeons. Program Structure: Difficult Colleagues and Complications Dr. V details the program's structure, which includes three-month modules dedicated to addressing difficult colleagues and managing the impact of complications. She emphasizes that the program teaches strategies to improve relationships and positively influence workplace dynamics. Pervasive Nature of Stress The discussion emphasizes the pervasive nature of stress, which is exacerbated by global events and the inherent demands of being a surgeon. Dr. V mentions theories suggesting that the high level of stress in the world may be intentional, designed to keep people off balance and disengaged. Stress Cycle in Training and Early Career The prolonged stress cycle often begins during training, with experiences that may have been hostile or malignant, significantly impacting future stress responses. Dr. V reflects on her own training, initially downplaying its hostility but later recognizing its challenging aspects. "What Happened to You?" and Dysregulated Nervous System Dr. V references the book "What Happened to You?" by Bruce Perry and Oprah Winfrey, explaining how prolonged stress can dysregulate the nervous system, hindering rational thinking. She explains that stress can overwhelm the primitive brain, preventing signals from reaching the smart part of the brain. Regulated vs. Dysregulated Stress Dr. V differentiates between regulated stress, which builds tolerance and resilience, and dysregulated stress, which results from extreme, prolonged, and unpredictable situations. She notes that predictable, moderate, and controllable stress can lead to productive stress responses. The Stress Cycle: Trigger, Response, and Physiological Reaction Dr. V explains the stress cycle, which involves a trigger, a stress response (fight, flight, freeze, or fawn), and a physiological reaction. She emphasizes that recognizing these responses is crucial for managing stress effectively. Recognizing Physiological Stress Response Recognizing one's physiological stress response is crucial, as it serves as a red flag indicating excessive stress. Dr. V provides examples such as increased heart rate, muscle tension, and poor sleep. Surgical Scenario and Stress Response Dr. V provides an example of a stressful surgical scenario, emphasizing that recognizing a stress response is a sign of awareness, not a personal failing. She notes that in high-stress situations, the primitive brain can take over, hindering clear thinking. Finding a Colleague for Stability Finding a colleague in stressful situations can provide stability and prevent potentially harmful actions. Dr. V likens this to grabbing onto a stable object during a tornado. Emotional Regulation and Decision Fatigue The discussion covers the importance of emotional regulation, especially for new attendings, and the impact of decision fatigue. Dr. Vertings notes that making numerous decisions can impair one's ability to make further decisions effectively. Impaired Coping Mechanisms Impaired coping mechanisms, such as doom scrolling or overeating, can worsen the stress cycle. Dr. V explains that these behaviors are often attempts to avoid negative feelings but ultimately lead to increased vulnerability. Confidence as Emotional Regulation Confidence is defined as the ability to manage any emotion, including fear and uncertainty, while still acting effectively. Dr. V emphasizes that courage is acting despite feeling fear. Techniques to Interrupt the Stress Cycle Practical techniques to interrupt the stress cycle include deep breathing exercises, focusing on the next best step, and box breathing. Dr. V mentions Dr. Robin Tiger's advice on using deep breathing for both surgeons and patients. Importance of Emotional and Physiological Regulation Dr. V stresses that emotional and physiological regulation is crucial for surgeons, who are leaders of their teams and responsible for their patients. She notes that a calm leader can help the team remain calm and effective. Communicating with Families During Stressful Events Dr. V advises on communicating with families during stressful events, emphasizing the importance of reassuring them that their loved one is okay. She suggests leading with the assurance that the patient is fine before explaining the details. Value of a Second Set of Skilled Eyes The value of having a second set of skilled eyes, such as residents, is highlighted, as they can prevent potentially devastating mistakes. Dr. Vertings shares a personal experience where a resident prevented her from making a significant error. Strategies to Manage the Stress Cycle Strategies to manage the stress cycle include awareness and tracking, physiological regulation, emotional processing, cognitive reframing, and setting boundaries. Dr. V emphasizes the importance of naming and owning feelings. Purpose, Value Alignment, and Gratitude Purpose and value alignment, along with gratitude, are also important. Dr. V suggests reflecting on past experiences to identify one's values and aligning actions with those values. Finding a Challenge Network Dr. V recommends finding a challenge network, a group of supportive individuals who can be relied upon during difficult times. She credits Dr. Jill Clark for this concept. Promotion of Boss Female Surgeons Group Coaching Program Dr. V concludes by promoting the Boss Female Surgeons Group Coaching Program and other resources available at bosssurgery.com. She mentions upcoming topics such as power and negotiating, as well as strategies for managing clinic and developing a CEO self-concept.

In this episode, Lauren continues exploring the connection between behavior and the nervous system, focusing on the stress responses known as fight, flight, freeze, and fawn. She encourages us to look beyond the surface of behaviors like hitting, screaming, or shutting down and ask what's driving them. These reactions aren't choices—they're subconscious responses to feeling unsafe.Lauren breaks down how each state might show up in children: fight can look like defiance or aggression, flight might look like restlessness or avoidance, freeze can show up as silence or disconnection, and fawn often appears as people-pleasing or over-apologizing. Rather than correcting or controlling these behaviors, she urges adults to meet children where they are. Regulation must come before reasoning. When we name what we see, notice the cues, and respond with calm and care, we help children feel safe and can start to make change. Resources:Steven Porges- Polyvagal TheoryOther related resources from Five Ives: Blog Post: Why Traditional Employee Wellness Programs Fail (And What Works Instead)Survive Mode: Recognizing When Your Organization is in CrisisWhat are the Five Ives?Podcast:Part 1: Behavior isn't the ProblemHive- The Last Stage of the Five IvesThrive- The Fourth Stage of the Five IvesStrive- The Third Stage of the Five IvesRevive- The Second Stage of the Five IvesSurvive- The First Stage of the Five IvesWhat are the Five Ives?A Five Category Regulation Framework - Five Ives!Using Our 5-Category Regulation Framework in the WorkplaceImpacting Organizational Culture: Explaining the First 2 PsImpacting Organization Culture: Explaining the Second 2 PsOur Online Programs: Behavior BreakthroughPolicing Under PressureBoard Governance TrainingBehavior Breakthrough Online Summer CourseSubscribe to our mailing list and find out more about Stress, Trauma, Behavior and the Brain!Check out our Facebook Group – Five Ives!Five Ives Website websiteThe Behavior Hub blogIf you're looking for support as you grow your organization's capacity for caring for staff and the community, we would love to be part of that journey. Schedule a free discovery call and let us be your guideAs an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.

Executive presence might sound like a buzzword, but in this episode of the PSM Show, Damion Morris and Deirdre Booth get to the heart of what it really means. They break it down into practical, learnable elements: composure, communication, and appearance. Through honest conversation and real examples, they show how presence is not about being polished or loud—it's about showing up with consistency, clarity, and intention. They explore how poise under pressure signals confidence, why language shapes perception, and how your physical presence—including in virtual meetings—affects how others receive you. Deirdre shares insights from coaching leaders across the AEC space and offers advice for those navigating early leadership roles, especially women and introverts. This episode also touches on personal branding, emotional regulation, and the mindset shifts that help professionals move from reacting to leading. Whether you're already in a leadership seat or aiming for one, this conversation offers guidance on how to carry yourself in a way that builds trust, influence, and long-term impact.

Her style is rooted in connection, creativity, and a whole lot of laughter.Though Mia carried her playful spirit into adulthood, it took a hit when she unexpectedly became a stepmom and felt immense pressure to “get it right.” That moment kicked off an eight-year journey of reclaiming playfulness — a journey that's since helped hundreds of thousands of parents do the same.Today, she helps parents reconnect with their kids (and themselves) through simple, silly moments of play. Above all, Mia believes we all deserve joy and that playfulness is one of the most overlooked — and most powerful — tools in the positive parenting toolbox.Mia's methods for working through challenging situations with your kids are both enjoyable and refreshing!

In this episode, Lauren focuses on why behavior isn't the problem. Behavior is a signal that we need to interpret. She challenges us to ask a different question when seeing extreme behaviors- I wonder what happened that is driving that behavior? There is likely a need under all of that behavior. She talks about why traditional approaches that focus on controlling the behavior don't work. We need to get to the root of the behavior. What needs are driving this behavior and what interventions should I put in place to alleviate that problem.  Expression of feeling is appropriate. When you meet the root cause of the need, the behavior will gradually become less and less. The more I try to control a behavior the more it escalates. When you learn to communicate in a way that understands the behavior you began to build trust with your students and your own children. Try to shift from what's wrong with you/why are you doing that to what's under this/ what's the need and once the need is known what can I do to respond to the need either preventatively or reactively. Other related resources from Five Ives: Blog Post: Why Traditional Employee Wellness Programs Fail (And What Works Instead)Survive Mode: Recognizing When Your Organization is in CrisisWhat are the Five Ives?Podcast:Hive- The Last Stage of the Five IvesThrive- The Fourth Stage of the Five IvesStrive- The Third Stage of the Five IvesRevive- The Second Stage of the Five IvesSurvive- The First Stage of the Five IvesWhat are the Five Ives?A Five Category Regulation Framework - Five Ives!Using Our 5-Category Regulation Framework in the WorkplaceImpacting Organizational Culture: Explaining the First 2 PsImpacting Organization Culture: Explaining the Second 2 PsOur Online Programs: Behavior BreakthroughPolicing Under PressureBoard Governance TrainingSubscribe to our mailing list and find out more about Stress, Trauma, Behavior and the Brain!Check out our Facebook Group – Five Ives!Five Ives Website websiteThe Behavior Hub blogIf you're looking for support as you grow your organization's capacity for caring for staff and the community, we would love to be part of that journey. Schedule a free discovery call and let us be your guideAs an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.

There's a difference between being self-aware—and being self-stuck.In this episode, I'm talking about the fine line between relating to your struggles and building your entire identity around them. Mental health awareness is powerful and necessary—but when the memes, the labels, and the constant self-diagnosing become your main personality trait, it can quietly keep you from actually moving forward.We'll explore: – Why over-identifying with your struggles can feel safe—but keep you stuck – The role of community, language, and internet culture in shaping your identity – How to honor your mental health without making it your entire self – What it really looks like to heal, grow, and lead yourself forwardThis one might challenge you—but in the best way. Let's trade labels for leadership.The Collab Studio: Payment plan: https://app.moonclerk.com/pay/huzc05sqykzPay-In-Full: https://app.moonclerk.com/pay/2xdvrpnxaejiVisit macierenae.com to learn more about Macie & her work!Interested in working with her?

Struggling to feel grounded after your divorce? The path forward begins with something surprisingly simple: being present. When we're caught in the cycle of regret about the past or anxiety about the future, genuine healing remains out of reach. In this episode I'll share a powerful yet straightforward technique that can transform how you navigate post-divorce emotions. The 5-4-3-2-1 grounding exercise engages all five senses to anchor you firmly in the present moment—the only place where true healing occurs. What makes this approach so valuable is its simplicity and accessibility. You can practice it anywhere: during a stressful meeting, while managing chaotic family moments, or when those painful divorce memories resurface unexpectedly. By doing this practice you're actively realigning your nervous system and creating space for healing. This episode goes beyond just teaching a technique—it reframes how we understand emotional regulation after divorce. The goal isn't to achieve perfect calm at all times but to develop greater capacity to navigate life's challenges without being controlled by habitual fight-flight-freeze responses. When we can ground ourselves in the present, we gain the ability to make conscious choices about who we want to be and how we want to show up in our post-divorce lives. To download your FREE GUIDE: "What to Expect When Divorcing: The Ultimate Guide to Dealing with the Emotional Rollercoaster of Divorce" click here. To schedule your complimentary consult with Karin click here.If this podcast resonated with you in any way, please take a minute to follow and give me a rating wherever you listen to podcasts.For more information and full show notes go to:https://www.karinnelsoncoaching.com/post/ep220

When parenting a child with ADHD or anxiety, the emotional rollercoaster can feel unrelenting and the mom guilt? Overwhelming! In this episode, I'm joined by Dana Baker, ADHD and anxiety parenting coach, speaker, and mom who's lived this journey firsthand. Dana opens up about her own parenting story, how she learned to trust her instincts, and what finally helped her advocate for her daughter in a world that said, “She's fine.” We talk about how to recognize your child's triggers, why adjusting expectations is essential, and how validation, not perfection, is key to connection. Dana shares actionable tools for handling emotional outbursts, increasing resilience, and building emotional awareness without losing yourself in the process. Whether your child has a diagnosis or you just feel like you're constantly walking on eggshells, this episode will help you feel seen, supported, and better equipped to parent with clarity and compassion.

Almost everything you've learned about emotional “strength” is not only a flat-out lie, but completely backwards. Toughing it out, staying in control, never letting others see you sweat - these aren't signs of emotional strength, but emotional blindness.  And emotional blindness comes with a steep cost that nobody deserves to pay: It leaves you empty, unfulfilled (even after milestone achievements), and depressed.  Why?  Because the old way of being emotionally strong is really fear in disguise. And fear is the ultimate mind-killer.  That's the bad news.  The good news? Once you realize that emotions are not distractions and are, in fact, the very point of life itself, then you can approach emotional regulation like the skill it is. And skills can be mastered - as long as you're open to the idea.  In today's show, besides debunking the outdated emotional strength myth, you'll also discover the true cost of emotional blindness and how to reconnect with your emotional world before it's too late.  Listen now.  Show Highlights Include: A brutal, real-life story that shows you the devastating cost of emotional blindness (and how it almost cost me my life) (1:37)  How “toughing out” your negative emotions eviscerates your joy, your relationships, and even your ability to love and be loved (6:52)  3 telltale nervous system signs that happen when you receive a snarky text that will tell you whether you're actually emotionally strong… or just emotionally blind (9:21)  The “Emotional Regulation” technique used by the world's most elite athletes that regulates your emotional system instead of being hijacked by it (11:19)  Why thinking of your emotions as distractions is the quickest way to feel so hollow that nothing can fill the void (not even career success, marriage, or becoming a millionaire) (17:27)  The underlying emotional reason behind why you micromanage your team (and how to address your emotions before your entire team quits) (23:27)  The simple, yet difficult 3-step process to finally stop reacting to and running away from your emotions (it will take time and patience, but nothing you achieve in life will be as meaningful as mastering this) (24:40)  For more about David Tian, go here: https://www.davidtianphd.com/about/    Want more success in leadership, deeper connections, or a greater sense of fulfillment?

In this episode, we explore how emotional avoidance and self-abandonment often disguise themselves as being “helpful,” “productive,” or “strong.” Whether it's saying yes too quickly, fixing others' emotions, or numbing out with distractions, these patterns are not bad habits - they're survival strategies we picked up when it wasn't safe to feel or express ourselves. We look at where these behaviors come from, why they served a purpose, and what they're costing us now. We discuss gentle, practical ways to begin recognizing and shifting these patterns. You'll walk away with a deeper understanding of why it's hard to stay with yourself emotionally and how beginning to do so—even for a few seconds at a time—is a powerful act of healing.     We don't always notice when we're abandoning ourselves – it can look like overdoing, over giving, or overcommitting.   Get your FREE Boundaries Ebook here!

In this episode, Lauren and Jessica explore the final stage of the Five Ives framework: Hive. This stage is all about meaningful connection—both personally and organizationally—after individuals have reached a more stable and grounded state. When someone enters the Hive stage, they often feel ready and energized to engage with others, to gather in community, and to offer support from a place of wholeness.On a broader scale, Hive represents the capacity of organizations to truly serve and uplift others. The most powerful communities are built intentionally, often through informal, organic connection rather than rigid structure. Lauren and Jessica remind us to stay present, move slowly, and maintain healthy boundaries. And importantly, if something isn't working—whether in your personal connections or your organizational efforts—don't double down. Pause, reassess, and realign.Other related resources from Five Ives: Blog Post: Why Traditional Employee Wellness Programs Fail (And What Works Instead)Survive Mode: Recognizing When Your Organization is in CrisisWhat are the Five Ives?Podcast:Thrive- The Fourth Stage of the Five IvesStrive- The Third Stage of the Five IvesRevive- The Second Stage of the Five IvesSurvive- The First Stage of the Five IvesWhat are the Five Ives?A Five Category Regulation Framework - Five Ives!Using Our 5-Category Regulation Framework in the WorkplaceImpacting Organizational Culture: Explaining the First 2 PsImpacting Organization Culture: Explaining the Second 2 PsOur Online Programs: Behavior BreakthroughPolicing Under PressureBoard Governance TrainingSubscribe to our mailing list and find out more about Stress, Trauma, Behavior and the Brain!Check out our Facebook Group – Five Ives!Five Ives Website websiteThe Behavior Hub blogIf you're looking for support as you grow your organization's capacity for caring for staff and the community, we would love to be part of that journey. Schedule a free discovery call and let us be your guideAs an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases. 

The best way to stop focusing and ruminating about narcissists in your life is to close your eyes and fall in love with the self. Ancient Persian Philosopher Rumi is an excellent example of how to break up with, let go of, divorce, and go no contact with narcissists in your life. In this lesson, you will learn what Rumi has to say about releasing narcissists from your life, and why doing so is terrifying yet brings emotional freedom at the same time. Healing from narcissistic abuse, requires that you release resistance to the pain manipulation, gaslighting, triangulation, smear campaigns and discard have created. Through radical self awareness, and acceptance, we discover the power of sacred wisdom as it pertains to choosing nonresistance. A narcissist will never follow you into solitude. When you embrace solitude, narcissists will run away because in solitude their masks fall. And that's why you must travel into the silence within. Codependency is akin to spiritual death. It implies you are living in denial of what is, and running from reality. The answer lies in climbing the ladder of the mind, from the subconscious to the higher conscious realms. But first, we must figure out where you are now and at what level of awareness do you reside. Feel free to take my FREE Codependency Quiz to discover more. ✨ Take my FREE Codependency Quiz

Whether you're in a relationship, healing from one, or figuring yourself out, this conversation will help you see that the way you connect isn't random—it's rooted in what you've learned, how you've coped, and what you now have the power to change.Want to join THE COLLAB STUDIO? The Collab Studio is now open!

189  (This episode goes hand in hand with episode 190) Being a highly sensitive person obviously means we are more sensitive than others. This has real ramifications in our love lives— both wonderful and challenging.  Listen in to this VERY revised (almost totally new) version of an older topic, where you will learn that, luckily, you can support your sensitive self in ways that amplify the best parts of your sensitivity, and make the challenges of it so much easier.   . . .and how this will involve caretaking your sensitive Mind Body Heart System, (starting with your nervous system) MORE deeply and consistently than non-HSPs (like it or not!).In other words, even if you resist the idea, the truth is, in order to have an intimate relationship (and life) that feels deeply satisfying, nourishing, and fulfilling as an HSP, you need to attend more to your emotional well-being and nervous system regulation than non-HSPs.  In this episode you will hear my own story around this, and how, as I've accepted this, and learned how to caretake my sensitive nervous system (and sensitive mind, body, heart, and emotions), I've fallen in love with doing it. AND how doing so changed EVERYTHING for the better forever in my love life.This can be true for you, too. You'll also learn:why love and marriage can be so hard as HSP without truly caretaking your sensitive system in the right wayswhy accepting your higher need for emotional caretaking can be difficult, and why it's more than worth it to do sothe 4 simple but essential foundational steps to get started with right away to be able to truly caretake your sensitive systemAnd the best way to truly regulate the most foundational aspect of your emotional well-being (your nervous system) so you can always be able to guide yourself back to that calm, steady, connected-to-your-heart-and-wisdom place from which you'll best relate to your significant other in ways that lead to the deepest connection, love, and collaboration, and the most fulfilling intimacy. Without this emotional tending, the kind of relationship you most want – full of love, lightheartedness, attraction, effective and connecting communication, and mutual supportiveness – is likely to remain elusive.But with it? You set the stage for what can feel like magic to  happen in your relationship.

Meaningful relationships are mutual. Balanced with give and take, equal influence between partners, and a vibrant dance of loving responsiveness and caring attention.Marriage and Family Therapist and professor Dr. Jessica ChenFeng is calling us toward a more justice-oriented approach to relationships and to mental health and well-being, She invites us to open-hearted and empathic perspective taking, and seeking an integrated wholeness that incorporates all of who we are—highlighting the gift of mutuality in our most intimate relationships in marriage and family life.In this conversation with Jessica ChenFeng, we discuss:The importance of integrated and whole experience of ourselves—allowing racial, gender, and cultural identities to weave together in our sense of vocation and contribution to the worldThe importance of mutuality in relationships—but particularly in marriage and family systems.The ways emotional power flows in a relationship and impacts marriage and family dynamicsThe difference between partners focusing on meeting their individual needs and caring for the health of an intimate relationshipAnd she offers a guided practical exercise to help us lovingly notice and accept our inner experience with a heart open to justice, vulnerability, and the reminder that we are beloved in the eyes of God.Episode Highlights"Systems of power harm everyone—and to live life to the full, we have to see each other fully.""I believe our move toward life to the full requires us to see the world through a third-order lens: not just family systems, but the racial, gender, and societal systems they exist within.""Mutuality means not just expressing our needs but being willing to be changed by the needs of others.""If we're not attuned to the pleasant sensations in our bodies, we miss the invitations to thrive.""Cultural norms are not God-given realities; they are social constructs we are invited to discern and transform.""Knowledge without authentic relationship keeps us from truly seeing the embodied experiences of others."Helpful Links and ResourcesCheck out the programs in Marriage & Family Therapy at Fuller School of Psychology www.fuller.edu/school-of-psychology/Fuller Asian American Center aac.fuller.edu/Socio-Emotional Relationship Therapy (SERT) OverviewCircle of Care Model ExplainedPositive Psychology and EmotionsJeanne Tsai's Research on Culture and EmotionAsian American Values Scale ReferenceRace and Trauma ResourcesJeanne Tsai's research on culture and emotion – Stanford SPARQJohn and Julie Gottman Relationship ResearchAsian American Values Scale – Paniagua & Yamada (Academic resource)Show NotesJessica ChenFeng shares her "yes and" identity as a second-generation Taiwanese American grounded in both math and creativity.How earthy aesthetics and connection to nature shape Jessica's professional and personal flourishing.The integration of Christian faith with clinical work at Fuller Seminary."Seeing systems of systems" — why thriving requires understanding how race, gender, and cultural forces shape individuals and families.Introduction to socio-emotional relationship therapy (SERT) and the value of mutuality in relationships.Defining mutuality: mutual attunement, mutual influence, mutual vulnerability, and mutual relational responsibility."Mutuality asks: Are both people tending to the relationship itself?"Practical signs of mutual and non-mutual relationships, including emotional attunement and willingness to be influenced.The importance of humility and relational awareness in building mutual relationships.The Circle of Care model: cultivating healthy relational dynamics through attunement and responsiveness.Discerning relational power dynamics in marriages, friendships, and work relationships."Thriving is an open heart, even on a stressful day."How emotional self-control in Asian American cultures is often rooted in relational ethics, not personal repression.The risk and gift of navigating cross-generational emotional communication in immigrant families.Differentiated selfhood: balancing authenticity with cultural respect in relational dynamics.Race, culture, and relational healing: why systems of privilege harm everyone."Love your neighbor as yourself" as an ethic for mutual flourishing across racial and cultural difference.Building trust by leaning into discomfort and courageous conversations.The need for embodied encounters with real people beyond theories of race and difference.Mindfulness practice: Jessica leads a guided exercise in attuning to pleasant sensations in the body.The transformational power of positive emotions and embodiment for creativity and resilience.The relational impact of systemic racialization and why "colorblindness" fails to honor real lived experience.Final reflections: How knowing who we are through systemic and relational lenses allows deeper thriving.Pam King's Key TakeawaysEach of us in the human family is a beloved child of God—and we need to continue to shape society to reflect this foundational truth.The path to meaning and fulfillment in a relationship starts with noticing and acknowledging the flow of emotional power, and its destination is mutuality and humilityThriving means incorporating all of who we are—our heritage and histories especially—into our love of ourselves, our love of others, and love of God.Our intimate relationships need care and attention as a third reality beyond our selves and our partners.And finally, thriving means opening our hearts each day, connecting our inner and relational realities, and learning to love patiently the multitudes we all contain.About Jessica ChenFengDr. Jessica ChenFeng is Associate Professor at the School of Psychology & Marriage and Family Therapy at Fuller Seminary, and is also Director of the Asian American Well-being Collaboratory at Fuller's Asian American Center.

We do not need a 'free from' diet when it comes to providing young children with emotional wellbeing and support. In the early years children need a safe space to experience, articulate, and process emotions – there is no such thing as a 'bad emotion'; they all have their role to play. Behaviour and emotional regulation coach Samantha Dholakia talks us through why children need the full ‘emotional diet'.

There's a missing link in our mental health routines, and it has everything to do with our HRV (heart rate variability) and the emotional alignment of our mind and heart.In this week's quickie, we're diving into the science of heart coherence — a powerful physiological state that can regulate your nervous system, reduce stress, and help you reconnect to your emotional intuition. This isn't just a woo-woo idea… it's backed by decades of research from the HeartMath Institute, and it shifted how I think about emotional wellness after I tried it in a recent therapy session.Tune in as I recount my experience with HeartMath, a heart rate variability (HRV) tool that measures your emotional state and alignment in real time. We cover how heart-brain coherence works, how it improves emotional resilience, and why regenerative feelings like gratitude, compassion, and connection are more effective than logic or deep breathing alone.Listen to learn about:What heart coherence really means and why it optimizes our mental and physical healthThe science behind HeartMath and HRV (Heart Rate Variability)How emotions like gratitude and humour can instantly improve your physiological coherenceWhy common coping strategies (like walking or box breathing) might not lead to coherence on their ownThe role your heart plays in decision-making, emotional regulation, and stressHow to practice heart-focused breathing and coherence-building techniquesWhether you're feeling burnt out, anxious, disconnected, or out of sync, this one's for you.

Shayna is the founder of "Austin Therapy For Girls" in Austin, TX. She lives next door to her mother Kappie. My guests talk about their similarities and differences through out our conversation. And they both are very keen on helping young ladies figure out/work around all of life's stressors, especially beginning with the tween and teen years. "Pink Chaos-Navigating the Mother-Daughter Relationship with your Tween" is Shayna's book which helps mothers and daughters navigate the tween years. Shayna felt that tween girls need as much help and support as teens, but weren't getting the acknowledgement that they deserved. Tween age range is between 9-12 years of age.Both women agree that they have a special connection, unlike most mother/daughter relationships because " concern for other people connect us in a way that is different from a lot of mother's and daughters," says Kappie. "This is a value that we are sharing" continues Shayna- "always taking care of people."During her teen years, Shayna was wildly influenced by Madonna and her music. It was boldly reflected in the way she dressed and expressed herself which Kappie was happy that her daughter was expressing her self creativity.Shayna and her sister were "latch-key"  kids because their mom was working full time. They kept themselves preoccupied with arts and craft projects such as Shrinky Dinks and more. When I asked Shayna if she felt her mom had any superpowers she said,  "she loved and took care of all of her students, her daughters, worked long hours and still had dinner on the table almost every night." "An education is something no one can take away from you," is what Kappie's mom reinforced throughout Kappie's childhood. Kappie was getting the message very early on in life about the significance of independence, be your own person, make your own way and don't necessarily be dependent on anyone else."In Shayna's book and her practice, she offers a wealth of information that can be worked on at home between moms and daughters. It begins with the correct means of communication, doing things together that both have in common, getting to know what your daughter is truly interested, including getting to see what your daughter's algorithm on her phone is if you don't know already.One statistic that I was shocked to hear is that girls confidence plummets by age of 9! If you go to Shayna's website "PINKCHAOS.COM" you can take a short quiz to find out which on-screen mother daughter duo you are.In her book, Shayna talks about how you can teach your daughter the importance of self love, embracing self love-encourage her to speak to herself with kindness and compassion and lots more.Some topics/issues that Shayna can help parents/girls with include building resilience, effective communication, promoting self worth, supporting friendships, navigating girl world, emotional regulation calming the chaos and embracing individuality.SHAYNA BARKSDALE'S SOCIAL MEDIA:FACEBOOK: @AustinTherapyforGirls INSTAGRAM: @AustinTherapyforGirls WEBSITE: austintherapyforgirls.com   and/or Pinkchaos.com   "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.

Feeling Drained Even in Sobriety? Here's Why (And What to Do About It)You got sober. You did the hard work. So why do you still feel completely emotionally exhausted?In this powerful episode of Confident Sober Women, host Shelby John dives deep into the silent struggle many sober women face—emotional dysregulation and nervous system burnout. If you're walking through life in a fog of overwhelm or feeling like you're doing everything “right” but still running on empty, this one's for you.Sobriety gets you out of the chaos, but it doesn't automatically heal trauma or reset your nervous system. That's the work of emotional sobriety—and it's what this episode is all about.

Get your try anxiety recovry journey started at https://www.TheAnxietyGuy.comToday.  Podcast description:  In this episode of The Anxiety Guy Podcast, Dennis gets real about something so many of us feel but rarely understand: the restless need for constant stimulation and why stillness feels almost impossible when your nervous system is dysregulated. If you find yourself bouncing from symptom to symptom, app to app, or thought to thought—this conversation is for you. Dennis breaks down how years of anxiety, stress, and survival mode train your body to stay on high alert, and why that constant buzz isn't who you are it's just who you learned to be. You'll learn how to stop treating your symptoms like emergencies, how to stop fearing every sensation, and how to finally come back to yourself without needing perfect conditions. Through personal insights and practical tools from The Middle Way (the next book), Dennis shows how healing begins not when everything calms down, but when you stop fighting your experience.

We often think of gut health as a matter of diet. What we eat, how we digest, and how we eliminate. But what if your digestive issues, bloating, or IBS symptoms aren't just physical? What if your gut is holding onto unprocessed emotional trauma, stress, and nervous system dysregulation? In this episode of Trauma Rewired, we're joined by Christy Nault, a root cause health practitioner and founder of Hormone Glow Up and Microflow Healing. Christy sits down with Elisabeth and Jennifer for a powerful conversation about the connection between trauma and gut health, and how healing begins not with food, but with safety in the nervous system. Together, we explore how chronic stress, childhood trauma, and perfectionism deplete our minerals, disrupt digestion, and throw off our hormones, metabolism, and mental health. Christy shares her own story of living with POTS, IBS, endometriosis, and mass cell activation syndrome, and how her recovery began through parasite cleansing, circadian rhythm regulation, and somatic healing. This episode isn't about a one-size-fits-all gut protocol. It's about understanding the gut-brain connection, why your symptoms may keep returning, and how nervous system regulation, emotional integration, and personalized healing can restore your health from the inside out. If you've struggled with leaky gut, autoimmune symptoms, histamine intolerance, or protocols that didn't work, this conversation offers a grounded, compassionate path forward. Topics discussed in this episode: ● The gut as an emotional and sensory organ ● How chronic stress depletes minerals and slows digestion ● Parasite cleansing and root-cause gut healing ● Why top-down protocols often fail without nervous system regulation ● The impact of childhood trauma on long-term health ● Gut-brain axis, emotional suppression, and vagal tone ● Circadian rhythms, blue light, and hormonal regulation ● Emotional digestion vs. food digestion ● Somatic tools for safe and effective healing ● Why small daily shifts create the deepest change Explore the Neurosomatic Intelligence Coaching program: neurosomatic.com/leadership   Learn more about Christy Nault's work at: Website: christynault.com Instagram: instagram.com/itschristynault Learn more about the Neuro-Somatic Intelligence Coaching program and sign up for the fall cohort now: neurosomaticintelligence.com Get started training your nervous system with our FREE 2-week offer on the Brain Based Membership site: rewiretrial.com Find Trauma Rewired on YouTube: YouTube.com/@TraumaRewired Connect with us on social media: @trauma.rewired Join the Trauma Rewired Facebook Group: facebook.com/groups/761101225132846 FREE 1 Year Supply of Vitamin D + 5 Travel Packs from Athletic Greens when you use our exclusive offer: drinkag1.com/rewired Trauma Rewired podcast is intended to educate and inform but does not constitute medical, psychological or other professional advice or services.
