BEST MOMENTS   "Fear around money was huge... what price do you put on that emotional peace of mind?"   "You don't really want your lifestyle to be compromised... everyone is completely unique."   "If everybody could get to a stage to do it amicably, life would be quite different."   "People not being open and honest makes it very difficult to get the best results for them."

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed D. Renee Smith. A transformational life coach and mental wellness advocate:

Do you find yourself smoothing over tension in conversations, keeping everyone comfortable while you silently bear the weight? Many of us step into this invisible role, managing moods, filling in awkward silences, and making sure conflict does not surface. It can feel like you are helping others, but often, you are protecting yourself from discomfort, and it can be exhausting.   In this episode, I am exploring the idea of emotional support tights, the pattern of holding everything together, keeping conversations smooth, and preventing friction in relationships. Like shapewear that initially feels supportive but eventually becomes restrictive, this role starts with good intentions but ends up limiting authentic connection. Whether it is at work, with family, or in friendships, constantly smoothing over tensions keeps real issues from being addressed and prevents genuine relationships from growing.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://maisiehill.com/243

This episode of Spirit School is a little different. It is raw, unedited, and straight from my heart. After a summer of filming, I have been reflecting on the surprising ways my nervous system has healed and how being surrounded by a team of supportive, passionate creatives became medicine for my spirit. I share: • How clairsentience and nervous system sensitivity show up in mediumship • The hidden costs of spiritual work on our energy and health • Why holding space for others can tax us more than we realize • The radical shift I felt from letting go of control and scaling back my business • How being with a crew of artists, storytellers, and creatives repaired my nervous system in ways I never expected • A powerful “before and after” moment that changed how I see love, support, and belonging Whether you are a medium, healer, or simply someone navigating burnout, my hope is that these reflections give you both comfort and inspiration. Sometimes healing does not come from solitude. It comes from being seen, supported, and surrounded by others who bring out the best in us. ✨ Mentions in this episode https://www.daniellesearancke.com/  • Spirit School Collective (membership community) • The Declaration program on ethics and integrity (coming this September) • Asha Frost workshop at Spirit School for the Equinox • Sacred Spirit Retreat in June 2026

There are few experiences more painful than relational betrayal. But what happens when that betrayal becomes public and costs you your home and faith community? That was precisely what Toni Collier experienced when she not only experienced betrayal in her marriage but the people in her church, those she heavily invested in, ghosted her during her time of pain. But despite the pain she experienced, she also encountered the grace of God through the loving support of those who knew her, saw her, and stood beside her in her season of intense pain. This experience reiterated to her the importance of finding safe and support community upon whom one can depend. This episode is for everyone who feels alone in their pain and finds themselves in desperate need of a friend.

In this thoughtful episode of the Homeopathy 247 podcast, Mary Greensmith welcomes homeopath Barbara Hanachova to explore the remedy Baryta Carbonica. Known for its gentleness and emotional support, Baryta Carbonica is a favourite of Barbara's—particularly for children with developmental delays, autism, anxiety, and extreme shyness. Why Baryta Carbonica? Barbara shares that she frequently uses this remedy when working with children with complex needs—those who may have autism, ADHD, eczema, or other developmental challenges. Baryta Carbonica, she explains, is like a “little cloud” gently carrying a timid child, helping them feel safe, supported, and a little more confident. While not always a deep constitutional remedy, it's often used at the beginning of a child's homoeopathic journey. As an opening remedy, it can reveal deeper layers, making way for more targeted treatment later. A Remedy for Shyness, Delays & Emotional Insecurity Children who benefit from Baryta Carbonica are typically shy, sensitive, and fearful of the outside world. They may: Be developmentally delayed—late to walk, talk, or meet milestones Show social anxiety and avoid unfamiliar places Cling to parents, especially mum, and resist going out or visiting new environments React strongly to loud noises like hand dryers or hoovers Become anxious if taken out of familiar surroundings Barbara describes how Baryta Carbonica gently helps these children “step outside their shell,” increasing confidence and emotional resilience in subtle, but significant ways. Not Just for Kids – Elderly and Adults Too While the remedy is often used for children, Barbara notes that it can also support older children and adults. In the elderly, Baryta Carbonica may be helpful in cases of cognitive decline, such as dementia, when adults start to show childlike behaviours or lose confidence in themselves. This shows the versatility of Baryta Carbonica—not just a remedy for young children, but also for the young at heart, or those whose confidence has diminished over time. Case Example: Real Change Through Homoeopathy Barbara shares a touching case of a non-verbal six-year-old girl who was highly sensitive to noise and emotionally attached to her mum. After taking Baryta Carbonica for just a few weeks, the girl began showing signs of independence, was more willing to go out, and even became more sociable at school. Teachers noticed she was “coming out of her shell”—playing more, engaging with classmates, and navigating the school day with greater ease. A Holistic View – Treating the Family Too Barbara explains that treating a child often means working with the whole family. For children with autism or other complex conditions, she always starts by asking parents what their biggest challenge is, and then gradually peels back the layers. She also treats parents—especially mothers—whose emotional health can directly impact their children. Issues like unprocessed trauma or chronic stress can influence the child's development, so addressing both can lead to significant improvements in the whole family's wellbeing. Gut Health, Sensitivities & Lifestyle Factors In her holistic approach, Barbara considers gut health, diet, lifestyle, and environmental toxins. Many children she treats are extremely sensitive—to food textures, loud sounds, clothing, or even household chemicals. Healing the gut and reducing triggers can help children become more emotionally and physically balanced. Barbara beautifully sums up Baryta Carbonica as a remedy that gently supports the child until they're ready to lead the way. It doesn't force change but allows the child to open up at their own pace. Whether for a shy child, an overwhelmed parent, or an elderly person in decline, this homoeopathic remedy offers quiet, transformative strength.

In this episode, host Talaya Dendy sits down with Katharine Giovanni, an award-winning author, speaker, and transformation mentor. As a stage three breast cancer survivor, Katharine knows firsthand that everyone tells you to forgive, but no one teaches you how. Katharine shares her journey of survival and demystifies the practice of forgiveness. The conversation explores how to navigate difficult emotions, enhance quality of life, and find peace after a life-altering event like cancer. Listeners will learn how forgiveness can be a powerful tool for healing, self-compassion, and emotional resolution, not just for cancer survivors, but for anyone facing life's toughest challenges.

A diagnosis doesn't mean you have to hit pause on your purpose. In this episode, Lyndsay Soprano sits down with Deb Krier—a powerhouse entrepreneur, stage four breast cancer survivor, and proof that you can still show up and lead, even when life throws its worst.They talk about what it really takes to keep moving forward while living with chronic pain, illness, and the emotional weight of it all. Deb shares how she built her “battle plan” with doctors, used humor as fuel, and leaned into empathy—not just to survive cancer, but to keep thriving in business and in life.This episode isn't about pretending it's easy. It's about choosing to rise anyway. It's for anyone who's ever felt like their diagnosis defined them, or who's been told to slow down when every part of them still wants to show up.Deb reminds us that empowerment starts from within—but it's amplified when we use it to lift others. Because thriving isn't about ignoring the hard stuff. It's about carrying it with purpose.Tune in if you're ready to reclaim your ambition—regardless of what you're carrying.Find Deb Krier Online Here:Website: tryingnottodie.liveWebsite: debkrier.comFacebook Group: Trying Not to DieLinkedIn: Deb KrierPodcast: The Business Power Hour with Deb KrierFind The Pain Game Podcast Online Here:Website: thepaingamepodcast.comInstagram: @thepaingamepodcastFacebook: The Pain Game PodcastLinkedIn: Lyndsay SopranoYouTube: The Pain Game PodcastEpisode Highlights:(00:00) Introduction to Chronic Pain and Trauma(02:29) Living with Chronic Pain: Personal Experiences(05:32) Courage in the Face of Cancer(08:16) Managing Pain and Emotional Support(11:02) Balancing Work and Health(14:06) Advocating for Yourself in Healthcare(19:35) Seven Courageous Steps to Face Cancer(28:13) Conclusion and Call to Action

This episode gets deep. I sit down with Kristian Moore a man who's been through the fire and somehow came out stronger. We're talking real pain: losing his father to suicide, going through a brutal divorce, and still showing up as a single dad trying to do right by his kids. Kristian doesn't sugarcoat anything. He talks about the dark stuff loneliness, court battles, and rebuilding from rock bottom but he also shares how he turned all that pain into purpose. This one's about ownership. About refusing to play victim. About finding your tribe, cutting the excuses, and transforming your lowest moments into fuel for the comeback. If you're a dad going through it or just a man trying to level up after life hits hard this episode is for you.
