Nutrition Nugget! Bite-sized bonus episodes offer tips, tricks and approachable science. This week, Jenn is talking about slowmaxxing, the viral trend that flips hustle culture on its head. Is the answer to burnout really found in 48-hour chocolate chip cookies and 15-minute coffee rituals, or is that taking things a little too far? Jenn breaks down what slowmaxxing really means, why it might be the antidote to internet brain rot, and how it connects to the priorities we already claim to care about. Does slowing down mean getting less done, or could it be the missing piece that makes everything else work better? Tune in to hear how Jenn is putting this trend to the test in her own life, and whether she thinks it is worth adopting or just another wellness fad dressed up with a new name.

**Women Connected in Wisdom on YouTube** Resources & What we are up to Don't drown in the demands of caregiving. Veronica Pulido shares how to stay Aflote and protect your mental & emotional wellness while supporting a loved one through serious illness. In this episode of Women Connected in Wisdom, my guest co-host Cynthia Phelps and I, Christine Gautreaux, are joined by Veronica Pulido, the Founder and CEO of Aflote (formerly Good Grief). Veronica's mission was born from her personal journey of caring for her father during a rare form of cancer. She realized that the medical journey is often as exhausting for the caregiver as it is for the patient, and she created Aflote to ensure no one has to navigate that path alone. We focus on the Mental and Emotional Wellness dimensions, specifically addressing the heavy load of supporting someone through a serious illness. Veronica explains how Aflote provides the community, tools and resources needed to manage the complex logistics and emotional strain of caregiving. If you are currently feeling overwhelmed by a medical crisis or the responsibilities of being a caregiver, this whole-self conversation offers the clarity and support you need to keep going.

The all-or-nothing cycle is one of the most common and most damaging patterns in PCOS healing. Women start strong, burn out, stop completely, feel guilty, and restart again. Over time this cycle erodes self-trust and makes genuine consistency feel impossible. In this episode we look honestly at why this happens and what actually breaks the pattern for good.Overrestriction and PCOS: Why Cutting More Out Often Makes Things WorseRestriction feels like control. But for women with PCOS, chronic under-eating and over-restriction create significant stress physiology that directly disrupts hormone signaling. This episode explores the mechanism behind why restriction backfires, including the cortisol and androgen connection, and what the body actually needs instead.Stress Physiology and Hormone Health: The Connection Worth UnderstandingStress is not just an emotional experience. It is a physiological one with direct consequences for hormone health. In this episode we explore how chronic stress, whether from life circumstances or from an overly rigid wellness routine, activates the stress response in ways that amplify PCOS symptoms rather than supporting healing.Your Nervous System and Your Hormones: Why Feeling Safe MattersThe nervous system and the endocrine system are in constant communication. When the nervous system is in chronic threat mode, the body prioritises survival over reproductive and metabolic hormone function. This episode explains why creating a sense of nervous system safety is not a soft concept but a genuine physiological requirement for hormone health.Sustainable Hormone Support: What Gentle Healing Actually Looks LikeSustainable PCOS healing is not about doing nothing. It is about doing the right things consistently in a way the body and real life can actually sustain. This episode offers a warm, grounded picture of what supportive healing looks and feels like in practice, including what to prioritise and what to let go of.Cycle Loss from Overrestriction: Important Body Feedback Worth UnderstandingLosing a menstrual cycle during a restrictive or high-stress protocol is one of the most significant signals a body can send. In this episode we discuss why this happens physiologically, what it means, and why the response it calls for is more support and nourishment rather than more restriction and effort.Emotional Wellness and Hormone Health: The Piece Nobody Talks AboutGuilt, shame, and fear around PCOS health habits are not neutral. They activate the stress response and make consistency genuinely harder over time. This episode validates the emotional experience of PCOS healing and offers a more compassionate, sustainable framework for moving forward.Consistency Without Perfection: The PCOS Healing Approach That Actually CompoundsSmall supportive habits done consistently over time create remarkable results. Not dramatic protocols done occasionally. This episode closes with a grounded, hopeful look at what real consistency looks like and why the gentlest approach is often the most powerful one over time.You can take the quiz to discover your root cause herePCOS Supplement GuideLet's continue the conversation on Instagram!

"The opposite is always the medicine. You people-please to others — so how do you people-please to you?" — Kari Brunson WrightThere's a particular kind of exhaustion that comes from bending yourself into whatever shape a room needs you to be. Kari Brunson Wright knows it well — from a ballet stage, to a restaurant line, to running her own businesses. It took three full reinventions before she learned how to stop.In this episode, Kari shares the honest story of walking away from a decade-long career as a professional ballerina, building and eventually selling a cafe and an ice cream company, and becoming a Psycho-Spiritual Leadership Coach. This is real conversation and authentic storytelling about identity, boundaries, and the whispers that show up long before the big changes do — the kind of personal growth for women that doesn't come with a tidy bow.If you've ever bent yourself into a shape that wasn't really yours, this one's for you.

Have you ever had someone choose to step away from a relationship with you? In this heartfelt episode of The Spiritual Cupcake Podcast, Candace shares an unexpected conversation that began with a simple question about her sister's garden and unfolded into a meaningful discussion about family, boundaries, and personal growth. When Candace's son asked why someone might not want a relationship with a family member, it opened the door to an important life lesson: we all get to choose who we invite into our circle, and others get to make that choice too. Candace reflects on being blocked by her sister on social media and why, surprisingly, she feels grateful for it. If being connected to someone doesn't bring peace, joy, or well-being, perhaps the most loving thing we can do is respect their decision and release the need to hold on.
(Show Notes) What if addiction isn't the real problem? In this powerful episode of Why Not Me? Embracing Autism and Mental Health Worldwide, Tony Mantor sits down with psychologist, TEDx speaker, and bestselling author Dr. Adi Jaffe to challenge everything we've been taught about addiction, recovery, trauma, and personal transformation. Drawing from both his professional expertise and his own remarkable journey from addiction and prison to becoming a UCLA-trained psychologist, Dr. Jaffe explains why destructive behaviors often begin as attempts to survive emotional pain—not moral failures. Together they discuss: • Why addiction is often a response to trauma, pain, and unmet emotional needs • The powerful role shame plays in keeping people trapped • Why willpower alone rarely creates lasting change • How habits are formed in the brain—and why changing them takes time • The connection between anxiety, depression, addiction, and self-worth • Why healing begins with understanding instead of judgment • The importance of self-compassion during recovery • How changing your mindset can transform your life Whether you struggle with addiction, love someone who does, or simply want to better understand human behavior, this conversation offers practical wisdom, compassion, and hope.

What if the greatest heartbreak of your life became the doorway to your greatest purpose?After the devastating loss of one of his sons, Romain Daumont found himself asking the same questions so many of us do after tragedy: Why did this happen?

In Fishing Without Bait 522, Jim Ellermeyer begins a new conversation with Missy Sorg about one of the most difficult challenges many people face today: how to stay connected when political differences feel personal, painful, and divisive. Missy shares why she wanted to return to the show and talk openly about strained friendships, lost connections, and the fear of being reduced to a political label. Jim and Missy explore the idea that even when people disagree, there may still be a shared “ice cream” — a common point of connection that allows a real conversation to begin. This Part 1 episode moves through themes of political polarization, patriotism, social media, assumptions, “contempt prior to investigation,” and the need to focus less on identifying problems and more on finding solutions. Missy also opens up about women's health, fertility treatments, abortion, birth control, and the way women's bodies are often discussed or legislated without enough listening or understanding. Rather than a shouting match, this is a conversation about conversation itself: how to disagree without dehumanizing, how to listen without surrendering your values, and how to look for the person behind the label.

In this episode of The Spiritual Cupcake Podcast, Candace shares a moment from a publishing conference, speaker from Penguin said it looked like he was wearing shoulder pads throughout the 80s, but really his shoulders were simply stuck up by his ears from stress. The comment sparked a deeper reflection about the ways we carry tension in our bodies—not just from our busy lives, but perhaps from old emotional wounds, family patterns, and experiences we haven't fully released. Candace explores the connection between the physical and the emotional, sharing her own journey with chronically tight shoulders and a chiropractor's comment that they would likely never change. But what if that's not true? What if healing is possible in ways we don't yet understand? This episode is a gentle invitation to notice what you're carrying, question the stories you've been told about your limitations, and remain open to the possibility of miracles.

Emotional wellness is a part of our holistic health. Many are very aware of their physical health, but may take for granted other aspects of their health. Emotional wellness is a foundational aspect of how we function and show up in the world, our communities, and our families. However, we may often neglect our emotional health because it is not as visible as other aspects of our health. Remember, our emotional health is just as important as other aspects of our health.

From the Inside Out: With Rivkah Krinsky and Eda Schottenstein
Send us Fan MailLetters for Life: Levi Y. Shmotkin on Rebbe's Guidance for Emotional Health From the Inside OutIn this episode of From The Inside Out with Rivkah Krinsky and Eda Schottenstein, we interview Levi Shmotkin, author of Letters for Life, a practical guide to emotional health based on the Lubavitcher Rebbe's letters, recorded in honor of Gimmel Tammuz. Shmotkin shares how his own teen experience of heaviness and apathy led him to the Rebbe's counseling, emphasizing gratitude, humility, and shifting focus outward through giving and responsibility. He contrasts popular self-help's self-focus with the Rebbe's “third way” that validates feelings while expanding the mind toward Hashem and others, including examples from education. He discusses tools like structure and productivity, trust to counter anxiety, hesech hadas (redirecting attention), loneliness as eased through awareness of Divine providence, Torah and halacha as the enduring path to spirituality, discovering purpose, and the Rebbe's message that “nothing stands in the way of the will.”EPISODE SPONSORSSwimplyThis episode is powered by Swimply — and with summer here, the timing couldn't be better.

Have you ever looked around at the life you've worked so hard to build and wondered, "Now what?"Not because you're unhappy. Not because you've failed. But because something inside you is asking for more growth, more meaning, more curiosity, or a deeper connection to yourself.In this episode of Healthy Mind Healthy Self, we explore the difference between building a life and fully experiencing it. You'll learn why feelings of restlessness aren't always signs that something is wrong, how life asks different questions in different seasons, and why curiosity may be the key to your next chapter.If you've been feeling stuck, uninspired, disconnected from yourself or unsure of what's next in midlife, this episode will help you reconnect with what matters, identify what you're looking forward to, and begin creating a fuller life without starting over.Because the life you've built and the life you want don't have to compete with each other. Sometimes they're simply waiting to become the same life.
June is men's health and mental health awareness month with the theme, "It's not weak to speak". Emotional wellness is defined as "the ability to successfully handle life's stresses and adapt to change and difficult times." It's unfortunate that when discussing men's health, we often neglect to mention or include emotional wellness. Our mere humanity includes assessing our emotional health. NIH provides an emotional wellness checklist that may be beneficial for men to improve their mental health. Let's talk about emotional resilience. www.talkingwithdrtoy.com

Send us Fan MailThe Capacity to Have and Live “Whole” - ContentmentWhat if the word you've been underestimating your whole life is the very key to what you've been reaching for? In this episode, we explore contentment — not as a lesser version of happiness, but as the deep, stabilizing foundation from which real growth, goals, and real quality of life are built.We'll walk through the “Goal Sandwich framework” for grounding your desires in what you already have. We'll unpack the concept of capacity — your internal readiness to hold good things when they arrive. And we'll close with three reflection questions designed to take you from the surface all the way to your soul.This one is foundational. This one is for you. Quote of the Week: “He who is not contented with what he has, would not be contented with what he would like to have.”— Socrates I want to leave you with three questions to carry into your week. To sit with. Let them breathe. 1. What am I happy with right now? (The surface check-in. Start here. It's a valid place to begin.) 2. What brings me genuine satisfaction? (Go deeper. What actually feels like enough? What do you already have that you truly wanted?) 3. Do I have the capacity to hold this satisfaction? (The transformational question. Am I willing to let this be real? Am I home to receive what I've already been given?) That third question — that is where the work lives. That is where wellness deepens from concept into lived experience. This is where our maintenance of the good things we build remains.Let's go, let's get it done.Get more information at: http://projectweightloss.org
In this heartfelt episode of The Spiritual Cupcake Podcast, Candace shares a beautiful conversation with her friend Magda about creating a life and home that feels intentional, soulful, and truly your own. Magda has been lovingly beautifying her forest home — bespokeing every detail, handcrafting spaces with care, personality, and warmth. From the outside, everything looked peaceful and stunning. But then she discovered a martin had made its way deep inside the walls and created a nest hidden within the home. At first, she tried to handle it herself. But eventually, she realized she needed to call in an expert — someone with wisdom, experience, and the ability to help with what was happening beneath the surface. Candace reflects on how deeply this mirrors our own lives. We can style our hair, nourish our skin, decorate our homes, curate our wardrobes, buy beautiful things, and work hard to create lives that look peaceful from the outside. But sometimes, inside us, there are still hidden places carrying old pain, fear, grief, stress, or unresolved emotions quietly nesting in the background. This episode is a gentle reminder that healing is not about perfection. Even the cleanest, most beautiful homes become messy simply from being lived in. The same is true for us. Life happens. Emotions build up. Experiences leave marks. The goal is not to become flawless — it's to become aware. Candace talks about the importance of checking in with ourselves, tending to the hidden rooms within, and allowing ourselves support when needed. Sometimes our own rituals, practices, and self-awareness help us move through things. And sometimes healing asks us to reach out to someone with deeper expertise to guide us through the murky places we cannot navigate alone. This episode is about inner peace, emotional honesty, self-awareness, and creating a life that feels beautiful not just on the outside, but deep within the walls of who we are.

What if you could practice energetic boundaries, attunement, and tending to life's quiet nudges every single day? This week, Jessica welcomes gardener, designer, author, and TBMer Bailey Van Tassel for a conversation about reconnecting to authenticity through the land and allowing abundance to flow through alignment instead of force. Bailey shares how The Money Challenge transformed her relationship with worthiness, how childhood conditioning created financial blocks, and how learning to honor herself shifted everything: her business, her nervous system, and her experience of success. Together, they explore the healing power of gardening, co-creating with nature, inner child work, and simplifying life around what truly lights you up.

Busy has become a badge of honor for many of us.In fact, the Urban Dictionary defines “busy” as what people say when they're too overwhelmed to explain what's actually going on.

Summer has always been my favorite season, but over the years I've realized how easy it is to put pressure on myself to make it "perfect."In this episode, I'm sharing a reminder that summer doesn't have to be packed with expensive vacations, nonstop plans, or picture-perfect moments to be meaningful. Instead, I'm inviting you to define what this season looks like for you. We talk about creating a summer that aligns with your current season of life, scheduling things that genuinely bring you joy, reconnecting with the simple things you loved as a child, and learning how to be present instead of performative. If you've been feeling the pressure to do more, this episode will encourage you to slow down, focus on what matters most, and create a summer that feels good on your terms.

This episode was inspired by a teenage boy Candace keeps seeing on her drive to work — running full speed down the street trying to catch the bus before it turns the corner. Every time she sees him, she wonders the same thing: what if he simply left the house one or two minutes earlier? That tiny adjustment could completely change the energy of his morning. No panic. No sprinting. No racing against time. Just calm, steady movement. And that thought sparked something deeper. How often do we do this in our own lives? Repeating the same stressful patterns while hoping things somehow feel different? Sometimes we think massive change is required, when really it might just be a tiny shift in timing, mindset, habits, boundaries, or perspective. In this episode of The Spiritual Cupcake Podcast, Candace talks about the power of small adjustments and how little intentional changes can create completely different outcomes. It's an invitation to audit your life with curiosity instead of judgment and ask yourself: What tiny shift could change everything for me? Because sometimes the difference between chaos and peace… is only two minutes.

We focus on how grief can intensify anxiety and panic, and we discuss ways to stay supported during this time.We explain that grief is individual and does not follow a fixed timeline. We note that people may grieve differently depending on the relationship, the type of loss, and their own resilience. We also say that grief can apply to many kinds of losses, not only death.We then describe common grief reactions, including shock, numbness, anger, sadness, fear, and anxiety. We mention that physical symptoms can include insomnia, fatigue, and changes in appetite, and we encourage listeners to notice these responses without judging them.We offer practical ways to cope, including meditation, short stress breaks, music, aromatherapy, prayer, and other calming rituals. We also encourage maintaining social support, reaching out to others when needed, and paying attention to sleep, exercise, food, and rest.We close by encouraging journaling, doodling, crying, and other forms of emotional release. We emphasize that allowing feelings to move through can help the nervous system settle and support a return to calm.#Grief, #Anxiety, #PanicAttack, #Loss, #Bereavement, #Mourning, #MentalHealth, #EmotionalWellness, #GriefSupport, #AnxietyRelief, #OvercomingPanic, #ShockAndNumbness, #GriefAnger, #DealingWithSadness, #OvercomingFear, #DealingWithUncertainty, #InsomniaRelief, #Fatigue, #SelfCare, #DailyRoutine, #StressManagement, #StressRelief, #Meditation, #Mindfulness, #StressBreaks, #Aromatherapy, #PetTherapy, #InspirationalQuotes, #SocialSupport, #TherapyWorks, #GriefCoaching, #SupportGroups, #PhysicalHealth, #ExerciseForMentalHealth, #Journaling, #CreativeRelease, #EmotionalExpression, #LetItFlow, #CopingMechanisms, #HealingJourney, #NervousSystemRegulation, #EmotionalRelease, #AnxietyCoachesPodcast #GinaRyan #ACPSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In Episode 200, host Karena Dawn pauses to celebrate five years of The Big Silence and over six million people reached through the podcast's mental health mission. She opens up about growing up with a mother diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, surviving teenage suicidal ideation, and why she built a foundation dedicated to making mental health support accessible to everyone. Karena shares five concrete tools for protecting your peace, including morning routines, boundary-setting, movement, sunlight, and therapy, along with the stats that remind us why this conversation cannot stop. What does it actually take to break the silence around mental health when the stigma runs this deep? It starts with one person raising their hand and saying they're not okay. Five years in, that simple act is still the most powerful thing we can do for each other. (01:37) Five Years, Six Million People: The Big Silence by the Numbers The podcast has reached over six million people through episodes, live events, and global awareness campaigns Ninety-six thousand people directly supported through mental health tools and the Therapy for All program Over one hundred thousand participants in the free seven-day mindset reset Why Karena finally stopped keeping her mother's diagnosis a secret (05:14) The Origin Story: Growing Up with a Mentally Ill Parent Karena's mother was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia in the nineties, before anyone was talking about mental health What it meant to grow up without language, resources, or anyone to talk to Her own decade of darkness and how she became a teenage suicide survivor The two statistics that still drive every episode: someone dies by suicide every 11 minutes, and it takes 11 years for the average person to ask for help (09:22) Five Things to Protect Your Peace Walk it off or dance it off: how movement clears anxious morning energy before it spirals Sunlight and red light therapy as accessible tools for depression and anxiety Why the first boundary you set is always the hardest, and what happens when you hold it The joy list: building a personal go-to for when you're in a slump Therapy is not just for crisis moments; it is maintenance for your mind Thanks for the support from our partners, including: If you're struggling with your mental health, someone is waiting to help: If this episode moved you, please consider supporting The Big Silence Foundation and exploring our resources: Connect with The Big Silence Community Order: The Big Silence Memoir audiobook Shop The Big Silence Self Love Collection Subscribe on YouTube Donate to The Big Silence Foundation The Big Silence Resource Guide Find exclusive offers from our supporters Show Resources: VISIT THE CHALLENGE PAGE THE BIG SILENCE PODCAST TONE IT DOWN PODCAST Tone It Up App Tone It Up YouTube Tone It Up Instagram Have a message for Karena?

What if one conversation could change — or even save — a child's life? In this deeply meaningful episode of The She Believed She Could™ Podcast, Allison Walsh sits down with pediatric psychologist Dr. Chloe Barry of AdventHealth for Children and radio personality Sondra Rae from Johnny's House on XL106.7 for an honest conversation about childhood mental health, emotional regulation, parenting, resilience, and the growing need for emotional wellness support in today's world. Together, they unpack the powerful mission behind the Be A Mindleader movement and why creating emotionally safe spaces for children matters now more than ever. From navigating anxiety and behavioral challenges to understanding the lasting impact of COVID on emotional development, this conversation gives parents practical tools to help kids process emotions, communicate openly, and develop lifelong coping skills. Dr. Barry explains the critical difference between “will vs. skill” when it comes to emotional regulation, shares simple daily practices like “High-Low-Buffalo” check-ins, and reminds parents that therapy isn't only for crisis moments — it can also equip children with essential emotional tools for life. Sondra Rae vulnerably shares her own parenting journey, how therapy has helped her twins build confidence and coping skills, and why normalizing mental health conversations at a young age is so important. If you're a parent, caregiver, educator, or someone passionate about emotional wellness, this episode will leave you feeling empowered, informed, and reminded that you are never alone in the journey. In this episode, they discuss Why emotional wellness conversations should start early The mission behind the Be A Mindleader movement Childhood anxiety, stress, and emotional regulation How COVID impacted children's emotional development Why today's kids are “built different” Practical tools for helping kids process emotions The “will vs. skill” framework for emotional regulation How therapy supports both children and parents Parenting through overwhelm and emotional burnout Why family connection and communication matter more than ever The importance of reducing stigma around mental health Creating emotionally safe spaces for children Supporting kids through stress, frustration, and big emotions How parents can model healthy emotional behaviors The role of mental health navigators and community resources
What if the version of success you've been chasing is actually the thing keeping you trapped? Today we welcome back executive coach and bestselling author Keren Eldad (Gilded: Breaking Free from the Cage of Ambition, Perfectionism, and the Relentless Pursuit of More) to unpack the hidden emotional architecture beneath ambition, manifestation, perfectionism, and the relentless pursuit of "more." Jessica and Keren explore why so many high-achievers manifest the external markers of success—money, relationships, recognition, opportunities—yet still feel anxious, disconnected, or deeply unfulfilled. If that sounds familiar, this episode offers a roadmap for anyone ready to stop building gilded cages and start living from authenticity, openness, and genuine self-worth. As we navigate this new chapter of soul-led visibility, this conversation is one you won't want to miss. Your higher self is calling.
