This year didn't go as planned… and that's okay.In this soft wrap-up episode of Classy & Sassy, I'm reflecting on the quiet wins, the stalled goals, and the lessons that didn't come with applause. We're talking about releasing unrealistic timelines, redefining success, and carrying a little less pressure into the new year.This episode is for anyone who showed up imperfectly, learned the hard way, and is choosing grace over grind as the year comes to a close. Soft, honest, and just a little sassy - because growth doesn't always look how we expected, but it still counts.Send us a text

If you've ever felt the benefit of a loved one's warm embrace when you're feeling stressed or sad, it might not surprise you that strong relationships can do wonders for your wellbeing. Research over the years has shown that people with strong social ties tend to be healthier, but a 2025 study, published in Brain, Behaviour and Immunity now suggests that it could also slow down the ageing process.如果你曾在压力大或情绪低落时，从挚爱的人温暖拥抱中得到力量，那么你大概不会惊讶：稳固的人际关系对身心健康有奇效。多年来的研究显示，拥有强大社会联系的人往往更健康；而 2025 年发表在《大脑、行为与免疫》上的一项研究更指出，人际关系甚至可能减缓衰老过程。Researchers in the United States came up with a measure called 'cumulative social advantage', which takes into account the benefits of maintaining strong, supportive relationships over time, rather than just newer relationships. They looked at things like support from parents growing up, participation in the community, and ongoing support from friends and family. People who had these things were more likely to have a younger biological age and less inflammation in the body. Co-author of the study, Anthony Ong, says "Think of social connections like a retirement account. The earlier you start investing and the more consistently you contribute, the greater your returns".美国研究人员提出了一个名为“累积社会优势”的指标，它强调的是长期维持稳定且具支持性的人际关系所带来的效益，而不仅仅是新建立的关系。他们考察的因素包括：成长过程中来自父母的支持、参与社区活动的程度，以及来自亲友的持续支持。具备这些条件的人，往往拥有更年轻的生物年龄和更低的身体炎症水平。该研究的合著者安东尼·翁（Anthony Ong）说：“把社交联系当作退休账户。越早开始投资、越持续投入，回报就越大。”So, how are friendships so powerful? Humans have evolved over hundreds of thousands of years as social beings – we're wired for connection. For our ancestors, being part of a group wasn't just about having company, it kept us safe and made it easier to find and share food and raise offspring. And it now appears that these connections affect our bodies on a biological, cellular level.那么，友谊究竟为什么如此强大？人类在数十万年的演化中始终是社会性动物——我们生来就需要连接。对祖先而言，成为群体的一部分不仅意味着有伙伴，更是保护自身安全、寻找食物、分享资源与养育后代的重要方式。而现在看来，这些连接甚至会在生物学与细胞层面影响我们的身体。"While it is always good to make new friends, there is often a greater sense of trust and dependability with people you've known for a longer time," says Hillary Ammon, a clinical psychologist at the Center for Anxiety and Women's Emotional Wellness. Of course, maintaining relationships as we get older can be difficult as people closest to us move away, or prioritise other things. Hillary says not to worry if your friends are newer, as connection is what really matters. A strong network of friends not only adds years to your life, it adds life to your years.“虽然结交新朋友当然很好，但与认识更久的人往往更容易建立深度的信任与可靠感。”来自焦虑与女性情绪健康中心的临床心理学家希拉里·阿蒙（Hillary Ammon）说。当然，随着年龄增长，维持关系变得更困难——朋友可能搬离，或将生活重心转向其他事情。希拉里强调，即便你的朋友比较新，也无需担心，关键是“连接本身”。稳固的友谊网络不仅能延长生命，更能让生命更有质量。

Send us a textWhat if one simple question could help your teen break free from anxiety, self-doubt, and the negative stories they've been carrying all year?In this powerful end-of-year episode, we revisit one of the most transformational tools I've ever used as a school counselor and teen anxiety coach: the story your teen is telling themselves — and how to help them rewrite it for 2026.Teens are living with heavy narratives like:“I'm the anxious one.”“I'm always behind.”“I mess everything up.”“Everyone else has it together except me.”These aren't truths — they're stories, often written by fear and anxiety.And parents have more influence than they realize in helping teens choose a healthier, braver, more grounded identity.Inside this episode, you'll learn:✨ The #1 question every family should ask before the year ends✨ How anxiety quietly rewrites your teen's identity✨ A 3-step reflection activity you can do together this week✨ How school counselors and educators can use this in January✨ How to help your teen name the story they WANT to live in 2026✨ Why chapter-title exercises build confidence, clarity, and emotional resilienceThis is a gentle, hopeful reset — for you and your teen — before the new year begins.If you want to build connection, calm anxious patterns, and support your teen's confidence in 2026, this episode will walk you step-by-step into the conversations that change everything.If you want deeper support as you raise a teen who struggles with anxiety, join Parenting Through the Maze — my private parent community where I teach calm communication, confidence-building strategies, and practical tools to help your child grow into their strongest, healthiest self.https://www.betterregulatethannever.com/parenting-through-the-mazeI also work 1:1 with young people to help them write a new story.

Christmas can be beautiful… and heavy—especially when you're living with kidney disease. In this special seasonal episode of Diary of a Kidney Warrior Podcast (in partnership with Kidney Care UK), host Dee Moore is joined by two renal counsellors, Sarah and Paula, to talk honestly about the emotional realities of the holiday season and how kidney patients (and loved ones) can navigate it with more calm, support, and hope.   Together, we explore why Christmas can bring a mix of emotions—from joy and community to grief, exhaustion, overwhelm, and pressure—especially when you're balancing dialysis, medication side effects, fatigue, and changing family expectations.   In this episode, you'll hear:   ✅ Why Christmas can feel emotionally challenging (and also uplifting) with chronic illness ✅ A powerful way to think about kidney disease during the holidays: the “uninvited guest” analogy ✅ How hope helps you keep going—and what to do when you can't generate hope yourself ✅ The mental health benefits of gratitude, including simple “top and tail” daily practices ✅ Practical coping strategies: cutting the “Christmas fluff,” planning ahead, protecting your energy, and taking 5-minute self-care resets ✅ Permission to do Christmas your way (yes—even if you hate turkey!)   If this season feels hard, please remember: you're not alone. You don't have to carry everything by yourself. Be gentle with your body, be kind to your mind, and take things one moment at a time.  

The holidays are supposed to feel joyful — but for many, they feel heavy.  If you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally drained, you're not alone.On this week's Love to Live Healthy show, Josephine & Jake talk honestly about holiday stress, anxiety, and how to protect your mental and physical health during the busiest season of the year.  Because it's okay to slow down, set boundaries, and choose yourself — even during the holidays. 

Hey lady! You know we’re all about our gentle growth and continuous improvement over here so we’re excited to share an episode that will help grow your toolkit for whatever life may bring your way.As we heal and process it’s common to notice where your childhood has yet again shaped your behavior and caused patterns that at one time seemed normal but now no longer serve you. Growing up in environments where our caregivers were doing the best they could with the tools they had means that we may not have always had the space to be your full self. And, if you grew up in a Black household it’s entirely plausible to not be allowed to feel your feelings and bury them instead.But, we’re grown now and you are not only allowed to feel your feelings but you are encouraged to and there are frameworks that can help. This week, Dr. Dom and Terri present the RULER method, a powerful tool that can help you make your way through difficult and complex emotions so that you can remain in your sovereignty and stand in your integrity.This five-step method can help you meet life as it comes, which will help you loosen the grip of needing to control life. Understanding your emotions offers you more choice in your experience, which can lead to feeling more stable, grounded and having increased capacity to feel the richness and beauty that life has to offer you. Using RULER in Real Life· Recognizing: “How do I know what I’m feeling? What signals does my body send?”· Understanding: “Where did this emotion come from? Is it layered with past wounds?”· Labeling: Talk about the power of language—using words like “disrespected” vs “angry.”· Expressing: “Who is safe to share this with? What’s an empowered way to show this?”· Regulating: Tools and tips (breathwork, journaling, therapy, movement, prayer, etc.)Quote of the Day:“If you don’t know what you’re feeling, it’s hard to know what to do with your feelings.” – Dr. Marc Brackett Goal Mapping Starter GuideCultivating H.E.R.

Employee Engagement on the Brink In 2024, the globalpercentage of engaged employees fell from 23% to 21%. Engagement has only losttwice in the past 12 years, in 2020 and 2024. Last year's two-point drop inengagement was equal to the decline during the year of COVID-19 lockdowns andshelter-in-place orders.  According to the latest State of the GlobalWorkplace 2025 report, released by Gallup. $9.6 trillion in productivity could be added to theeconomy if the global workforce were fully engaged.That would represent a 9% increase in global GDP. But ifleaders seize the moment, a productivity opportunity awaits. In fact, someorganizations are already enjoying the benefits of a highly engaged workforce.Manager engagement is the key to reversing declining productivity, improvingemployee well-being, and unlocking trillions in economic potential.As Founder of HEARTnomics, Hanna Bauer equips top teams with actionablestrategies to build cultures of resilience and clarity.

In this video, I'm sharing an early look at the ideas from my new book coming out in 2026—work that is very close to my heart. I've spent the last several years asking one big question: How do we give ourselves the best possible chance of becoming the healthy, joyful, connected 90-year-old we hope to be? Why is it that some people are able to stay committed to a plan… while others struggle, even when they truly want to feel better? If you're someone who has a hard time staying consistent, please know this book—and this conversation—is especially for you. I break our well-being into eight important buckets: Hormone Optimization, Nutrition, Movement, Body Composition, Sleep, Emotional Wellness, Relational Wellness & Intimacy, and Fun & Joy. These are the areas that shape how we age, how we feel day to day, and how we show up in our relationships. In today's video, I walk you through each of these buckets and share why tuning into what you already know is good for you can become the motivation that carries you forward. With small, intentional choices, we can begin shaping the elder version of ourselves—one step, one day, one decision at a time. I've also included a PDF of the “Best Elder Day” wheel if you'd like to reflect on where you are now and where you'd love to go. LINK - https://bit.ly/3MpwfJX My hope is simple: that this gives you clarity, encouragement, and a gentle path toward becoming the elder you dream of being.

On Reimagining Love, we've done several solo episodes where Dr. Alexandra takes a seemingly simple and straightforward statement that folks are making about relationships. Then she pulls it apart to try to find more shades of grey, to add more complexity and layering to a phrase that she finds has gotten too simplistic. In today's episode, we are going to look at what it means when people say they've outgrown their relationship*. First, Dr. Alexandra will talk you through what she thinks people are saying when they say they've outgrown the relationship. Then she is going to look at the internal stuff - what might be going on inside of you that's shaping this feeling that you've outgrown the relationship that you're in. Then she is going to look at the relational stuff - what might be going on in the space between you and your partner that's shaping this feeling that you've outgrown the relationship. And then finally, she will talk about some strategies that you can use to bring clarity to the situation. *This episode often uses the language of intimate partnerships but much of it can be applied to other relationships, like friendships, as well.Other Solo RL Episodes that do a deep dive on a too-simplistic phrase:“I Love Them, But I'm Not In Love With Them” https://dralexandrasolomon.com/podcasts/i-love-them-but-im-not-in-love-with-them/“Right person, wrong time” https://dralexandrasolomon.com/podcasts/right-person-wrong-time/“If They Wanted To, They Would.” https://dralexandrasolomon.com/podcasts/if-they-wanted-to-they-would/Resources to support the episode:Reimagining Love episodes, Relational Ambivalence: Should I Stay or Should I Go?

By exploring the 'what-if mind,' we unpack how these relentless thoughts can spiral into overwhelming anxiety. The discussion centers on recognizing where our concerns originate, often rooted in our instinct to protect ourselves. While our minds are hardwired to anticipate dangers and potential problems, this survival mechanism can easily turn into an exhausting cycle of worry.The show emphasizes that these what-ifs can feel convincing and powerful, often painting scenarios that never materialize while neglecting positive outcomes. This pattern leads to a narrowed perspective, amplifying fear beyond reality. I stress the importance of not fighting or suppressing these thoughts but rather acknowledging their presence and gently guiding the mind back to the present—where our true power lies.Throughout the episode, I share strategies to help listeners identify and manage their what-if thoughts. The key is early recognition—skills that can be cultivated over time. I discuss the significance of labeling anxious thoughts as they arise, reframing them to acknowledge that they are simply future predictions and not current facts. This technique enables listeners to replace anxiety with grounding affirmations and return to their breath, thereby reclaiming their calm.#AnxietyRelief, #FutureAnxiety, #Overthinking, #WorryLess, #CalmYourMind, #WhatIfs, #AnxietySupport, #StressRelief, #AnxietyAwareness, #AnxietyTips, #EmotionalWellness, #QuietMind, #Mindfulness, #PresentMoment, #ReturnToNow, #BeHereNow, #BePresent, #MindfulLiving, #InTheMoment, #MindfulnessPractice, #CalmMind, #PeaceOfMind, #GuidedMeditation, #MeditationPractice, #BreathingExercises, #Breathwork, #Grounding, #Mantra, #Affirmations, #DailyMeditation, #MeditationJourney, #MindfulBreathing, #MentalHealth, #MentalHealthMatters, #SelfCare, #SelfLove, #PersonalGrowth, #InnerPeace, #Wellness, #Wellbeing, #Healing, #EndTheStigma, #AnxietyCoachesPodcast, #GinaRyan, #AnxietyCoach, #LifeCoach, #WellnessPodcast, #Coaching, #PodcastLife. #ACPSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode of Fishing Without Bait, counselor and mindfulness guide Jim Ellermeyer takes listeners on a thoughtful and practical journey into the world of inherent truths—the deep personal values and qualities that define who we really are beneath expectations, judgment, and fear. Jim opens the conversation by reminding us that self-discovery isn't about finding a ready-made identity—it's about creating ourselves with honesty, open-mindedness, and a willingness to try. He introduces the idea that inherent truths are fundamental aspects of identity that aren't shaped by outside forces. These truths include qualities like empathy, honesty, dependability, intelligence, and the capacity to learn and love. Through stories, affirmations, and compassionate guidance, Jim breaks down the barriers that commonly derail personal growth: societal pressure, family expectations, fear of judgment, and the tendency to discount our own worth. He encourages listeners to practice “I am confident…” statements to reinforce these inner truths and reclaim ownership of their choices. Listeners also learn practical tools for maintaining emotional grounding, including a powerful breathing exercise: inhale with the word “Let…” and exhale with “…go.” This simple practice helps calm the nervous system and release self-doubt. Jim adds a gratitude ritual—affirming small wins throughout the day with the phrase, “That's a positive.” As always, the episode emphasizes actionable mindfulness: accepting compliments instead of dismissing them, setting boundaries with clarity, exploring what energizes you, and paying attention to the moments that reveal who you really are. Jim closes the episode with an invitation for listeners to share their own inherent truths and continues the show's mission of offering practical, compassionate tools for living purposefully, mindfully, and without definitive expectations.

In this conversation, I sit down with Beatriz Victoria Albina, a family nurse practitioner, somatic experiencing practitioner, and author of the newly released book End Emotional Outsourcing to unpack why so many of us struggle with people-pleasing, perfectionism, and burnout.Beatriz introduces the concept of "emotional outsourcing" (a term even Oprah is talking about) which describes how we've learned to source our sense of worth, safety, and belonging from everyone and everything outside ourselves. But here's the revolutionary part: she explains that these aren't personality flaws. They're survival skills we developed as kids, and we can unlearn them.We get real about the invisible labor women carry, the pressure to be productive over everything else, and why setting boundaries feels so physically uncomfortable. Beatrice then walks us through practical, body-based techniques you can start today. This conversation is for anyone who's exhausted from putting themselves last, who feels guilty for saying no, or who's ready to stop apologizing for taking up space in their own life.Connect with Beatriz: https://beatrizalbina.com/Link to Beatriz's book: https://beatrizalbina.com/book/Free Meditations: https://beatrizalbina.com/free-meditations/Beatriz on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/beatrizvictoriaalbinanp/Connect with Sabrina:https://www.instagram.com/Sabrina_Soto/www.SabrinaSoto.com

Episode 272: healing isn't linear (Full Episode on Patreon) | This is a preview of a subscriber-only episode from Aligned Access, my sacred space on Patreon where we go deeper than ever before.In this bonus episode, I'm opening up about what it really looks like to heal; the messy, non-linear, deeply human parts we don't always talk about. If you've ever felt frustrated for not being “over it” yet or confused when old emotions resurface, this one's for you. We'll talk about grief, self-compassion, emotional growth, and how healing isn't something you finish - it's something you live, one gentle moment at a time.

Throughout the discussion, I reflect on how Tolle's teachings have significantly impacted my own journey towards overcoming anxiety. His philosophy encourages us to identify and appreciate the hidden gems within our struggles, ultimately guiding us toward greater peace and happiness.We begin our exploration with the idea that seeking happiness can paradoxically lead to unhappiness. Tolle emphasizes that true happiness stems from facing our current realities rather than fabricating stories in our minds. By addressing the present moment and recognizing the stories we tell ourselves, we can reclaim our freedom from unhappiness. I highlight the importance of understanding how our thoughts shape our experiences and how anxiety often arises from our thoughts about future uncertainties rather than our immediate circumstances. Through practical examples, I encourage listeners to remain grounded in the facts of their lives, empowering them to take effective actions rather than succumbing to the stories of despair.As we proceed, we venture into the concept of separating our thoughts from the situations we face. I discuss Tolle's assertion that the primary source of our unhappiness often lies not in external circumstances but in our interpretations of those circumstances. By catching the inner voice that fuels our anxiety, we can cultivate a greater sense of awareness and autonomy in our responses. I emphasize the significance of developing a 'wise mind'—an observer that transcends our egoic thoughts—allowing us to engage more fully with our present experiences.#EckhartTolle, #AnxietyCoachesPodcast, #AnxietyRelief, #ThePowerOfNow, #Mindfulness, #PresentMoment, #InnerPeace, #SpiritualGrowth, #Consciousness, #MentalHealth, #SelfHelp, #OvercomingAnxiety, #StressManagement, #HappinessGems, #TheNow, #Ego, #BePresent, #PersonalGrowth, #EmotionalWellness, #Acceptance, #WiseMind #GinaRyan #ACPSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
