Ever feel like your energy's been hijacked by something you can't quite explain? Maybe your vibe is off, your mood's in the gutter, and your soul feels like it's been buffering since Mercury went retrograde. If so, this episode might be exactly the vibrational upgrade you've been waiting for. In this electrifying and unexpectedly hilarious conversation, Will and Karen sit down with Alex Urbina - a renowned Shamanic Practitioner, Energy Alchemist, and Transformative Spiritual Healer - to uncover how unseen energies could be the root of your emotional, physical, and spiritual distress.

I just hold the frequency of your healed self so you can meet yourself there.” “Your suffering feels like it's not a choice—but it is. The moment you decide you're done is the moment healing begins.” “You don't have to be a forever client.

Robbie Bent is the co-founder of Othership—a multi-million dollar wellness movement centered around sauna, breathwork, cold plunge, and emotional connection. After a devastating startup failure left him broke and struggling with addiction, what began as backyard ice bath experiments during COVID evolved into one of the most innovative wellness concepts today. In this raw conversation, Robbie shares how his darkest moments led to discovering somatic practices that not only saved his life but inspired a business helping thousands heal together. Robbie and Megan explore why traditional therapy often falls short, how Othership became a "Trojan Horse" for emotional processing, and why the real transformation happens not in the sauna or ice bath—but in the vulnerable sharing that follows. Beyond the emotional insights, Robbie gets tactical about scaling brick-and-mortar businesses, dealing with copycats, founder mode versus delegation, and the profound loneliness of building something meaningful while trying to be a present father and husband. This conversation reveals why the future of wellness isn't about optimizing alone; it's about witnessing each other's humanity—and healing in community. Topics & Takeaways What Othership is and why it's more than sauna and ice baths The emotional regulation crisis and the new wave of wellness How hot/cold contrast therapy is a Trojan horse for emotional healing The science behind breathwork, group sharing, and co-regulation Why Robbie believes emotional health is “where fitness was in 2009” The story behind Othership's founders and their radically intentional space design Building emotional safety in a luxury-meets-humility environment From addiction and startup failure to healing and service How Robbie overcame shame, scarcity, and perfectionism The power of vulnerability and the healing force of group connection What makes Othership polarizing—and why that's the point Cult-like brand love, social wellness, and the death of shame How Robbie manages competition, fear, and founder pressure Why success is about how deeply you impact someone, not how many   The Failure Factor Podcast was brought to you by Off The Field Coaching.

Inspired by the need for a kinder place, Tenaz started Kind Hearts Brigade as a space to empower people to be kind in easy ways. Through her experience in working as a marketing professional, or even observing people, she was inspired to create easy to access tools to enable people to be kinder to themselves and to people around them.In this episode, we chat about what it really means to live kindly, the messy and magical ways kindness shows up in real life, and how small acts can ripple into something much bigger.

On this episode of Groove with Portia, I'm joined by grief recovery mentor, photographer, and author Helen Fernald, whose book Love, Helen: Letters to My Mother came from years of pouring her heart onto the page. After losing her mother, father, and experiencing two miscarriages, Helen turned to writing as a way to release what couldn't be said out loud. And through that process, she found her voice—and her healing.We dive deep into how creativity can be a lifeline through grief. Helen shares what it was like to cry while writing, wrestle with anger, and find peace in remembering. We also talk about the pressure to hide our pain, especially as women, and the importance of making space for real emotion—without shame.This conversation is an invitation to be honest with yourself about where you are in your grief and to trust that expression—whether through tears, writing, or silence—is powerful. Grief isn't the enemy.Sometimes, it's the teacher.Connect with Helen: https://helenfernald.com/

So many of us are silently struggling- navigating parenting, trauma, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm while pretending we're fine. But silence doesn't heal. In this episode of Mom Essentials, I'm joined by Kelli Melissa Reinhardt, founder of Make Mental Health Matter, to talk about breaking the silence surrounding mental health, grief, and the emotional burdens we carry as parents. Kelli shares her personal journey through trauma, the loss of her sister to suicide, and the moment she realized that talking about it could save lives. We explore the difference between survival and thriving, how to recognize when your coping mechanisms aren't healthy anymore, and what it looks like to raise emotionally aware children- especially when you're still learning to care for your own mental health.

Ever wonder how you'll ever stop people-pleasing and say yes to yourself instead? This episode is for you! Set small boundaries first. Start with low-stakes situations to practice saying no or expressing your preferences. For example, choosing the restaurant when asked, or declining a small favor when you're genuinely busy. These smaller moments build your confidence for bigger boundary-setting situations.Pause before automatically agreeing. When someone asks something of you, try responding with "Let me check my schedule and get back to you" or "I need to think about that." This brief delay gives you space to consider what you actually want to do rather than reflexively saying yes to avoid disappointing someone.Remember that disappointment isn't dangerous. People-pleasers often fear others' negative reactions, but someone being temporarily disappointed or mildly upset doesn't mean you've done something wrong or that the relationship is in jeopardy. Most healthy relationships can handle occasional "no" responses, and those that can't may need reevaluation.Notice your internal warning signs. Pay attention to feelings of resentment, exhaustion, or anxiety that often accompany over-committing. These emotions are signals that you're stretching yourself too thin to accommodate others. When you catch these feelings early, you can course-correct before burning out.Practice stating your needs directly. Instead of hinting or hoping others will guess what you want, try expressing yourself clearly. Say "I'd prefer to meet at 2 PM" rather than "Whatever time works for you is fine." Direct communication often leads to better outcomes and reduces the mental energy spent on trying to read between the lines.The key is building these skills gradually. People-pleasing patterns developed over time, so changing them takes patience and consistent practice. Some resources for you:Want to see how you score as a confident communicator? Take The Confidence Cocktail Assessment: https://karenlaos.com/confidence-cocktail-fb/Project more confidence and credibility with my free tips: 9 Words to Avoid & What to Say Instead: https://karenlaos.lpages.co/words-to-avoid/My book “Trust Your Own Voice”: https://karenlaos.com/book/Episodes also available on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEwQoTGdJX5eME0ccBKiKng/videos Karen Laos, Communication Expert and Confidence Cultivator, leverages 25 years in the boardroom and speaking on the world's most coveted stages such as Google and NASA to transform missed opportunities into wins.

The focus of perinatal mental health is often on mothers, but we can't discount the importance of fathers' mental health on children, families, and relationships. Dads everywhere are struggling, and they often do so in silence. We need to raise awareness of this aspect of mental health! The Monday after Father's Day is International Fathers' Mental Health Day, so I'm discussing this topic and sharing helpful information in today's episode. Show Highlights: The messaging to boys and men from society My approach with clients and their partners is to try to reach more fathers. A compassionate approach promotes healing. M&M episodes focused on fathers and their mental health: 345: A New Father's Experience Through His Wife's Postpartum Psychosis with Tony Pacitti 286: Foundations in Paternal Perinatal Mental Health with Dr. Daniel Singley 274: Healing from Paternal Postpartum Depression with Kevin Seldon 273: The Emotional Wellness of Fathers with Adam Angel, LCSW  242: The Value of Fathers and The Black Voice in Parenthood with Reginald Day 195: Paternal Postpartum Depression with David Levine  181: Fathers and Perinatal Mental Health with Dr. Sheehan Fisher  177: The Loss of a Wife and Mother to PPD with Steven D'Achille   23: “He's Not Talking About It,” A Father's Journey with Mark Williams Frightening statistics about fathers' mental health Stigma prevents men from reporting symptoms and seeking help. Risk factors for dads are similar to those of moms. (Dads are up to 50% more likely to experience perinatal mental health issues if their partner experiences them.) Dads can feel excluded from caregiving and disconnected from mom and baby. Dads should be screened just like moms! We can do better to meet the needs of fathers! Partners should check in with each other and check on each other's mental health.

In this powerful episode, Monica Wisdom shares a deeply personal reflection on the ways Black women have been conditioned to give our time, our energy, and our brilliance, often without receiving anything in return. From community service to corporate projects, we have been taught to equate value with self-sacrifice. But what happens when we stop, look back, and realize we were always in the background of our own story?Through storytelling rooted in lived experience, Monica challenges the charity mindset and invites listeners to explore a new possibility: sacred commerce. This is a conversation for every Black woman who has ever asked herself, "What did I do, and what did it get me?" It is also an invitation to stop surviving and begin your next chapter.

Why is it so hard to just be? In this episode, we unpack the tension between knowing we need rest… and still choosing productivity instead. From cleaning baseboards to reorganizing closets, we explore the emotional discomfort of stillness, the pressure to "earn" downtime, and why so many of us—especially parents and overachievers—find it easier to stay busy than to slow down. We also talk about the cultural messaging that ties our worth to our output, the guilt that creeps in during moments of rest, and how we can start to unlearn it. If you've ever felt like you need to “accomplish something” before you can relax, this conversation will help you reframe rest as necessary—not a reward. Listen in and let's challenge the narrative that rest has to be justified.

In this episode, Cindy Esliger explores emotional exhaustion, the extreme weariness that makes everything feel like just another item on an endless to-do list. It's a common lived reality, and Cindy addresses what it feels like and how it can snowball into impacting everything from work quality to health. However, it can be managed. There is a way to reframe setbacks and find the good among the chaos, a way to regain control and prioritize our well-being, that Cindy lays out for us. How do we know if we're in the midst of emotional exhaustion? Cindy shares four telltale signs that we're running on empty: 1) Struggling to find joy, 2) Increased resilience on distractions, 3) Feeling stuck or hopeless, and 4) Numbness. She assures us that not only is emotional exhaustion not a personal failing, but everyone feels it at some point. But just because it's normal doesn't mean we have to stay stuck in it.Cindy asks us to remember that bad things will happen, but we can choose to find something good to focus on. We can also assess what's draining us by using these four tips on how to decide whether we're putting energy into the right things: 1) Take inventory, 2) Solve or shift, 3) Break the pattern, and 4) Restore energy. When we shift from trying to control outcomes to focusing on our responses and energy allocation, we have the key to maintaining resilience and progress. Resources discussed in this episode:Guide to Turning Exhaustion Into EmpowermentAstronomic AudioConfidence Collective—Contact Cindy Esliger Career Confidence Coaching: website | instagram | facebook | linkedin | email

In this episode of Literally First Class, Keri Ford dives into the often-misunderstood world of healing and mental health - specifically, what the industry gets wrong. From the limits of talk therapy to the overuse of trauma buzzwords, she breaks down why somatic work is the missing piece for real transformation. You'll hear why “trauma-informed” isn't enough, how to spot trained practitioners, and how true healing starts with permission, not perfection. It's candid, eye-opening, and packed with insights for growth-driven women ready to deepen their personal evolution.   Takeaways: The healing and mental health space has significant gaps. Cognitive behavioral therapy often fails to create real transformation. Awareness alone is not enough for healing; integration is key. Healing involves allowing all feelings rather than trying to eliminate them. Permission is essential for true healing to occur. Over-pathologizing can perpetuate feelings of shame and brokenness. Spiritual bypassing can hinder genuine healing efforts. Not all practitioners are equally trained; discernment is crucial. Somatic work addresses the deeper layers of trauma. True healing requires a personalized approach based on individual experiences.   Episode Resources: Book your free 15-minute Somatic Strategy Call with Jalena (no sales pitch, just a free nervous system audit)!

Many places in the world still need perinatal mental health resources. In most cases, the key to accessibility is someone with the vision and passion to take action and lead with innovation. Today's guest is making it happen with her groundbreaking work in India, and she's here to share her story with us! Dr. Paridhi Mehra is the founder and CEO of⁠ HappiNest⁠, India's first dedicated platform for parental mental health. With nearly a decade of experience in health tech and public health innovation, Dr. Paridhi has led digital health solutions that improve access to healthcare for all. After experiencing firsthand the lack of awareness and support for maternal mental health in India, she founded HappiNest to bridge this gap, ensuring that every mother can access the care she deserves. She works at the intersection of healthcare, technology, and community to bring a happy start to parenthood for all. In this episode, Dr. Paridhi shares her journey, along with issues related to stigma and culture in maternal mental health.  Show Highlights: Dr. Paridhi's journey from being a dentist and entering her first pregnancy, when she immediately knew something was “off.” After her son was born, she felt like she was in a parallel universe where she didn't know what to do or how to function. Breastfeeding challenges, sleep deprivation, and feeling disconnected and distant from her baby Cultural stigma in India about postpartum depression and the sacred role of a mother With her husband pushing her to get help, she found the support she needed. What it feels like to keep asking, “Why am I not happy?” Working on a self-discovery journey and learning to enjoy her baby Talking to a childhood friend and fellow new mom helped put Dr. Paridhi at ease, and things started to improve The birth of HappiNest to fill the gaps for families in India with care AND prevention (but the stigma still prevents many women from reaching out for help) An overview of the HappiNest program and process for offering online services Dr. Paridhi's perspective on what needs to change in India to offer help to more people Resources: Connect with Dr. Paridhi Mehra and HappiNest:⁠ Website⁠ Call the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline at 1-833-TLC-MAMA or visit⁠ cdph.ca.gov⁠ Please find resources in English and Spanish at⁠ Postpartum Support International⁠, or by phone/text at 1-800-944-4773.

She's been listening to older, wiser women, and noticing the powerful patterns that emerge when we prioritize meaning, connection, and nervous system support over the relentless push to do more, be more, fix more.From hormone health and adrenal burnout to grief, rage, and the unprocessed emotions that surface at midlife, this conversation goes beyond symptom lists and into what it really means to design this season of life, rather than just survive it.Heidi and Ann Marie also dig into the nocebo effect, why outdated menopause narratives can actually make us feel worse, and how to reframe this transition as a gateway – not a decline.Highlights:Dr. Heidi Lescanec's integrative approach to hormone health, combining science, spirituality, and food-as-medicineIntroduction to The Pink Zones: envisioning supportive environments that celebrate women's agingExploration of how past generations managed menopause, transforming stigma into strength About Dr Heidi Lescanec:Dr Heidi Lescanec is a licensed naturopathic physician practicing in Vancouver, BC.

Mother's Day can stir up a lot—especially when you're navigating life after divorce. Maybe your ex's voice is still echoing in your head, or your teens are too cool (or too cranky) to make plans. Maybe your kids aren't even with you this year. If any of that sounds familiar, this episode is here to help you mute the noise, return to yourself, and reclaim this day as something sacred and satisfying—no matter what it looks like on the outside. Together, we'll explore how to celebrate yourself without apology, even if no one else is showing up the way you hoped. I'll share what it means to be both realistic and radiant—from managing kids who are resistant or unavailable, to creating a solo tradition that fills your soul (including my own story of picnics, peace, and blooming flowers at the Arboretum). Because Mother's Day isn't about perfection. It's about presence. Whether you're feeling joyful, tender, or somewhere in between, this episode invites you to step into your power, choose your own joy, and design a Mother's Day that honors the incredible mom—and woman—you are.

Hey there, beautiful soul!

Sometimes the most powerful shift you can make is simply choosing to show up—messy, overwhelmed, uncertain—and still commit to your own growth. As Dr. Michelle and Bayleigh navigate their own life transitions, they open up with honesty, humor, and heart about what it really takes to maintain mental and emotional wellness during chaotic seasons. Through reflection, grace, and intentionality, they remind us that well-being isn't about perfection—it's about alignment, commitment, and learning to nourish yourself from the inside out, one small change at a time. Key Takeaways: True mental wellness begins with self-awareness and the courage to meet yourself exactly where you are. Small, consistent actions—like hydration, movement, and gratitude—create meaningful long-term change. It's okay to ask for help or say no; boundaries are a form of self-care and self-respect. Transitions are invitations for clarity—use them to reflect, release, and reset your vision. Self-commitment fuels transformation; you can't lead others well if you're not caring for yourself first.   Connect with Dr. Michelle and Bayleigh at: https://smallchangesbigshifts.com hello@smallchangesbigshifts.com https://www.linkedin.com/company/smallchangesbigshifts https://www.facebook.com/SmallChangesBigShifts https://www.instagram.com/smallchangesbigshiftsco   Thanks for listening!
