But long before she developed The Bereavement Journey — an award-winning UK-based grief support programme — Jane was just a teenage girl grieving her mother — quietly, and without much support.In this episode, Jane shares her personal story of grief and healing: from losing her mother as a teen, to later losing her young child, to eventually creating one of the UK's most trusted bereavement support resources.

Her story is one of deep faith, unwavering strength, and learning to redefine what "success" truly means.We talk about what it looks like to run a business while navigating motherhood and a cancer diagnosis, and how faith, boundaries, and grace helped Stephanie rebuild not just her business, but her life. Whether you're in a season of thriving or simply trying to stay afloat, this conversation will remind you that it's okay to pivot—and that your legacy is built through grace, faith, and presence, not just revenue goals and to-do lists.

We know firsthand that parenting in a blended family isn't the same as parenting in a first family. A biological parent's role is crucial in helping kids adjust to change, supporting step-relationships, and keeping things running smoothly.But here's the challenge—many bio parents either hold too tightly to their old parenting patterns or step back too quickly and expect their spouse to fill in. Both can create major tension.In this episode, we're breaking down the four key facets of parenting and defining the roles and responsibilities of the bio-parent: Meeting practical needs while avoiding unnecessary frictionProviding support while managing shifting priorities Teaching important life lessons  - and overcoming parental blind spotsDelivering discipline in a way that strengthens relationships rather than tearing them apartIf you've ever felt stuck between your kids and your spouse—or if you've struggled with guilt, fear, or parental paralysis—this episode is for you. You'll Discover:The most common 'easy wrong turns' that bio parents make when trying to “blend” the familyHow to avoid creating unnecessary frustration, and resentment in your homeWhy bio parents need to lead in discipline—and how to set step relationships up for successHow to provide boundaries and emotional support for your kids without letting guilt or fear take overStrategies for building an effective parenting partnership — even when you see things differentlyResources from this Episode:Episode 204. 4 Facets of Parenting:  Clarifying the Roles and Responsibilities (Part 1) Episode 163.

From the complex question of whether to expand the family to grappling with grief, boundaries in marriage, and integrating elderly parents into a household, these issues strike at the core of family life.

Abdulhamid Kircher is an artist from Queens, New York. He was born in 1996 in Berlin to German and Turkish parents, and immigrated with his mother to the United States at the age of eight. His work is a living archive of place and people, as it is also a dedication to the language of photography, the mechanics and aesthetic possibilities of the form. Through his devotion to classical forms of image making and the radical experimentation required for each of his subjects, his process bridges the idea between document and narrative. He received his BA in Culture and Media from The New School in 2018 and his MFA in Visual Arts from the University of California San Diego in 2022. Abdul currently lives and works between Berlin and Los Angeles.Abdul's debut photobook, Rotting From Within, was recently published by Loose Joints in June this year (2024). In it Abdul explores identity, patriarchy, generational trauma and the possibility of reconciliation in a diaristic project between Berlin and Turkey. A solo exhibition of the work is currently on show at the Carlier Gebauer gallery in Berlin until the 31st August. The 53 minute documentary film, Noch ein Kind (Still a Kid), 2024, by Abdul's childhood friend Maxi Hachem, a Lebanese-German filmmaker based in Berlin, is also being screened as part of the exhibition. His documentary investigates the complex relationships and wounded history of Rotting from Within spanning the past three years between Berlin and Turkey. In episode 237, Abdul discusses, among other things:His early life “dragging bags of weed around the house”The history of paternal abuse in his familyHow he ended up moving from Berlin to New YorkHow he got into photography through TumblrHow his interest in photography drove the reconnection with his fatherWhere the books title stems fromParallels between his mum and grandmotherKeeping a diary since highschoolHis obsessive nature and tendency for self-flagellationHis partner, Zoe, who contributed text to the bookHow the documentary his friend Maxi Hachem shot, Noch Ein Kind (Still A Kid)How the work has been received as an exhibitionHow the process of making the work may or may not have helped himWebsite | Instagram “I love it, but it's beyond love because it feels like something that I just need to do. That's why I was talking about photography being such an intuitive thing in my head, it's because I don't really have an option. I need to take these photographs, I need to make these photographs, and it's not really something I have power over. And I think that's the scary bit, it's that yes I love it for what it's allowed me to explore and allowed me to sort of open up to the world, but in that way it's also become a burden.” Become a full tier 1 member here to access exclusive additional subscriber-only content and the full archive of previous episodes for £5 per month.For the tier 2 archive-only membership, to access the full library of past episodes for £3 per month, go here.

Today kicks off a three part, maybe four (lots to discuss!), that goes deep into a subject I broached on Instagram a few weeks back: Eldest daughters/hero children – i.e. the good girls, the rule followers, the helpers, the peacekeepers of the family — and how playing that role impacts our dating and relationship lives.In today's episode I'm digging into the what and the why:What are the unique struggles of this camp of women — my main client — and why does it matter in our romantic relationshipsThe nature of the hero child and their consistent role of trying to fill in the emotional gaps for the familyHow you can have a "great childhood" and feel "really loved" but still fall into this category and suffer the consequencesDifferent permutations of what being the "hero child" looks like based on parental and sibling dynamicsWhy being people pleasers, perfectionists and good girls make relationships such a unique struggleBooks mentioned at top of episode:Ambition Monster by Jennifer RomoliniMating in Captivity by Esther PerelGlynnis Macnicole: I'm Mostly Here to Enjoy Myself, No One Tells YouCatherine Newman: We All Want Impossible Things, SandwichGood Material by Dolly AldertonThat Summer by Jennifer WeinerOld Flame by Molly PrentissCarrie Soto is Back by Taylor Jenkins ReidAfter I Do by Taylor Jenkins ReidWork with me PrivatelyConnect on InstagramWebsitePodcast Production by James Jorge

In an inverted world where we can keep on track by pretty much doing exactly the opposite of what the so-called 'experts' recommend, the resilience of the population depends on actualized men and women dancing and working together to keep the ball rolling forward.When we allow the lines of masculine and feminine energies to be blurred, when we agree to pretend that masculine and feminine roles don't matter, then we agree to our own demise.It's time to turn this nonsense on its head. It's time to stop calling masculinity toxic and pretending that women don't need men. Sure, maybe we can get by, but will be fulfilled? Will we be able to express our true divine feminine without that intimate dance with the strong masculine?And who will we call when the pipes back up? When the car breaks down? When something heavy needs to be moved?I for one wouldn't exchange my relationship for anything. I've always appreciated my man and all he does for me... and he does A LOT. One of his goals is to make my life better, and for that I am deeply grateful and never take him for granted.Tymothy Roy, or Tym, knows relationship... with self or another. He coaches men, women and couples to find the truth of who they are. He sees his clients' strength before they are ready to embody it themselves and he won't let them off the hook because he knows what they are capable of.In this interview Tym talks about the healthy masculine, the psy-op of de-masculating the man, the healthy feminine, and how women can support the blossoming of our men. His insights are so powerful, yet practical and he definitely inspires each of us to find the truth within so that we can fully embody and walk the path we came to walk.In this interview Tym tells us about:How the destruction of the male is part of a larger agendaA document call "Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars" and how it spells out how to dismantle the familyHow the power of the feminine can destroy the masculineHow the masculine thrivesHow Tym regained his backboneHow some women are 'frog farmers'How the current agenda has been planned for aa very long timeHow Tym learned much of psychology in his study of marketingHow the 'idiot' husband is often portrayed in televisionHow respect is a man's version of appreciationHow Tym relates a maxim in equity (for those of you studying law) to the masculine and feminine energiesTym's view of the feminine being 'water'How the masculine gives form to the feminine as the banks do to a riverHow the river/the feminine can erode the masculineHow being taken for granted will erode the masculine faster than anything elseTym's explanation of the 'game' between Wesley and Princess Buttercup in "The Princess Bride"Tym's 5 Tenets of Embodying the MasculineHow men can/should be 'mind readers'The male provider roleHealthy male traitsWhat toxic masculinity really isHow the masculine rechargesHow a conscious woman can draw the man out of the boyThe importance of taking radical personal responsibilityHow the conscious feminine can surrender to the masculine to foster his conscious masculineTym''s principle: Nothing has happened until it is feltand more!I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did. This is a conversation that needs to be front and centre in my opinion... knowing who we are and owning it will lead to empowering the people, creating a freer and ultimately more fulfilling life, and bring forth healthy, well adjusted future generations.Right now we seem to be on a crash course to nowhere, but we can change that with a simple willingness to look within and find what is true and to turn off anything and anyone that is not in alignment with your highest good.Together we will rise above, so please reach out and comment if you enjoyed this show.

What does it mean to you to live a life with no regrets? Is that even possible?What if it's less about avoiding regrets entirely and more about being clear on your values, dreams, and desires and combining that with intentional practices to build a life focused on things that matter to you and the world around you?Of course, this takes work because we're constantly pulled in many different directions and responding to many inputs, just trying to keep our heads above water. To lead well, we must get clarity in our values and develop trusting relationships with our inner worlds and physical bodies.Instead of chasing a life with zero regrets, we need to learn to respond well to our regrets in the moment. If we want to look back and feel good about how we responded, we can't numb out or bypass; we must make amends and correct our course.Today's conversation is with a long-time friend and colleague who reminds us that living an aligned life is a meandering path, a life that is always stretched and tested. It's not always easy, but when we stay connected to our values, desires, and integrity, there can be ease and clarity even in the hard times.Molly Mahar is the founder of Stratejoy, a community helping women reclaim intimate, honest, and joyful relationships with themselves for the good of all.

During the summer, kids have the opportunity for more leisure time, free play and creativity. But as a parent, you might not like the way your kid acts when they're bored. In this episode, you'll learn why encouraging boredom is a good thing and how you can feel more at peace when your kids are bored, dysregulated and frustrated this summer. You'll learn:Why kids act out when they're boredHow to handle your kid's boredomWhy encouraging boredom is great for the whole familyHow to create opportunities for your kids to practice being bored and working through itWhen we give our kids opportunities to be imaginative, creative and overcome boredom, they also develop resilience, grit and confidence. It is powerful for your child to realize that they can deal with discomfort and figure out a solution.----------------------------------The Boredom GapIt can help to think about boredom as the time between activities. I call this the “boredom gap”. Kids are used to having most of their day filled with structure and adult-directed activities. But the way they act when they're bored is often an obstacle to giving them more of that free unstructured time that kids need.When kids are bored, they get dysregulated. Basically, they feel out of balance and uncomfortable. They don't know what to do with that discomfort, so they start acting out. They start bugging their sibling, complaining, being grumpy, having a big feeling cycle, or doing something naughty.Your tendency might be to jump in and give a bunch of suggestions of things your kid can do. I love having some ideas for boredom busters handy, but you have to offer them up at the right time.Often, we jump in with suggestions before our kids are ready. There's a cycle that your child's brain needs to go through when it is dysregulated, and they might not be ready yet for solutions. When your kid is bored and dysregulated, their brain is uncomfortable. It is looking for the easiest way to soothe that discomfort. Screens are a really common request when kids are bored because it's an easy dopamine hit. It's the quick fix that makes them feel better in the short term, but it isn't going to truly satisfy them. Think of it as being hungry and choosing a brownie over broccoli. Plus, the more time kids spend on devices, the more their brains crave that fast, easy stimulation. How To Handle BoredomWait. You have to get comfortable with your kid's discomfort. Be compassionate and acknowledge what is happening. Look at your child and think, “Oh, they don't know what to do with themselves. They're bored, and they haven't figured out something to do with their brain yet.” If you need to calm yourself during this time, try thoughts like, “I can handle this,” or “I know they're going to find a solution.”Connect. If your child is acting dysregulated, you can use the Connection Tool to ask them if they're having a rough time or feeling frustrated. Instead of trying to shut down their complaining, recognize that they are struggling and give them space to release some of that stress juice. It's important to soothe before you solve. Narrate what you're seeing. Help them name what they're feeling. The mental discomfort of boredom can also bring up feelings of loneliness, frustration or annoyance. Offer strategies for them to soothe themself. Encourage problem solving. Once they are a bit calmer, say, “It's normal to feel bored. That makes sense. I'm sure you'll figure out a solution.” You can ask about their ideas or if they

This episode features Erin Lochner, the inspiring powerhouse behind "The Opt-Out Family." Erin takes us on a journey from her high-profile career in social media to her decision to embrace a technology-minimal lifestyle. We delve into her new book, "The Opt-Out Family," and discuss how she and her family choose to engage more meaningfully with the world around them, rather than through screens. Erin's insightful and empowering narrative offers a refreshing view on how conscious choices about technology can lead to a more balanced and fulfilling life.We explore the intentional decision-making that comes with living a low-tech lifestyle, especially in a family setting. From avoiding smartphones for children to steering clear of facial recognition apps, Erin shares the micro-decisions that help maintain a balanced life. The conversation also highlights the joy and opportunities that arise from offline interactions and the preference for face-to-face connections. Erin's experiences provide a compelling case for the benefits of a tech-minimal environment that fosters direct human engagement and thoughtful problem-solving. We discuss the invaluable lessons of healthy challenges and fostering independence in children, emphasizing the importance of real-world experiences over digital consumption.

Today's thoughts center around what to do with the stuff that represents life that has been lived, but is no longer used daily or on a regular basis. Life is a series of transitions. One of the inevitable changes is moving out of the home where you lived with your parents. Consider how many parents continue to live with their children's things long after the children are gone. The trap is created when space is held hostage when their home is storing things instead of children.

What does healing mean to you? What expectations do you hold around how we heal and how quickly we heal?Meeting our basic human need to be loved and experience belonging can be the root of many things we do, say, and want–for better or for worse.Many of us have experienced relationships that shape how we pursue love and belonging, how we respond to folks who are different or have differences, how we handle conflict, and how we navigate not being perfect and not knowing all the answers.So, how we seek love and belonging and perceive and pursue healing are inextricably connected.Under those circumstances, we want to rush our healing process, achieve our desired changes, and be fixed as soon as possible. The stakes are high!But we do not arrive at “healed” and coast for the rest of our lives. There is no three-step plan to change, heal, and thrive ever after.Healing is a lifelong process that must be pursued and revisited with the ebbs and flows of our lives. Sometimes, those ebbs and flows feel like tsunamis, forcing us to revisit old wounds or discover new spaces in our stories that require our care and attention so that we can find love and belonging within, first and foremost.Frank Anderson, MD, returns to the show to discuss his beautiful new book, To Be Loved: A Story of Truth, Trauma, and Transformation.Frank Anderson, MD, completed his residency and was a clinical instructor in psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. He is an author, psychiatrist, therapist, speaker, and trauma specialist who's spent the past three decades studying neuroscience and trauma treatment. He is passionate about teaching brain-based psychotherapy and integrating current neuroscience knowledge with the IFS therapy model. His published work spans contributions to literature and training for a clinical audience and works accessible to the general public.Content Warning: We cover some heavy topics around verbal and physical abuse, conversion therapy, and suicidal ideation. Please take care as you listen to this conversation.Listen to the full episode to hear:How the process of writing his memoir caused Frank to interact with his past in ways that surprised himThe tricky balance of telling stories honestly but from a loving place, especially with his familyHow releasing his anger and coming to forgive and love people who harmed him gave Frank space and freedom to forgive himself for the harm he has doneWhy Frank says healing happens first emotionally and somatically within yourself, and then you can work towards relational healing and forgivenessHow different phases of Frank's life have influenced what and how trauma he unpacked and releasedWhy do we have to stop clinging to divisive polarities and recognize the good and bad in ourselves and each other Learn more about Frank Anderson, MD:WebsiteInstagram: @frank_andersonmdFacebook: @mdfrankandersonConnect on LinkedInTo Be Loved: A Story of Truth, Trauma, and TransformationTranscending Trauma: Healing Complex Ptsd with Internal Family SystemsLearn more about Rebecca:rebeccaching.comWork With RebeccaSign up for the weekly Unburdened Leader Email.Resources:Open Monogamy: A Guide to Co-Creating Your Ideal Relationship Agreement, Tammy NelsonConan Gray - HeatherP!NK - TRUSTFALLFellow Travelers

Finally I'm talking lymph and a bit of fascia. This is a topic I've been wanting to cover for a long time, and who better to do this with other than Kelly Kennedy, the 'Lymph Queen'?In the western world, we often don't hear of the lymph being addressed, but this system, which is larger than the blood circulation system, is key to our good health.Not only does the lymphatic system deliver nutrients, but it is literally our sewer system, and if it isn't flowing, our sewer backs up, stagnation occurs, and we no longer can access our divine, innate healer within.After a receiving a biology degree from Cornell and realizing that the topic of health is vast, Kelly began to pursue her own education in classical alternative therapies culminating with a two year intensive in European Bio-Regulatory Medicine. Since then, she has also received her massage license, certification in Cranial Fascia Technique, and is currently studying to become a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner.  Kelly is the go-to for all things lymph and this is what we get into for our first interview. One hour wasn't nearly enough time, so stay tuned for the second interview!Kelly's story of being raised with a sick father, her severe car accident, the epigenetic patterning of her familyHow after searching for 3 years, her pain was released in one session of emotional releasing and energy workHow fascia is where the autonomic NS fibres areFascia being the frequency fabric of the bodyHow to be free of burdens of the physical bodyHow if you don't know how the body works, you will never be freeThe gifts Kelly has gained from recently breaking her elbowHow when being honest with how we feel we don't hold onto our burdensThe importance of allowing our bodies to expressThe need to align and integrate with our bodiesHow the cells are being signalledThe need for the space to drain for cells to clean outThe fact that we have 3x lymphatic fluid than bloodWe can change signalling by cleaning debris that is causing mis-signallingThe fact that we have 600 to 1000 lymph nodesThe need to move differently and oftenThe vast amount of lymphatic tissue in the body...it's way more than you think!Functions of lymphatic systemHow we can't live for 1 second without a lymph systemThe intricate relationship between lymph and fasciathe whole picture of healing through breath, trust, frequency and resonanceHow fascia doesn't like iceHow our 'puffs' indicate that our filters are cloggedHow draining and moving the lymph changes your terrainThe need to address dental work and scarsImportance of opening the nodesMasterclass on scars (see link below)Symptoms often the inability to filterThe difference between North America and Europe in how they address the big "C" with respect to lymphHow you need to be true to yourself for you health path and work with an advocateHow to connect with Kellyand more!Check out my store page for discounts on various products at: https://www.sovereigncollective.org/shop/Connect with Kelly:Website: www.thetruewellnesscenter.comInstagram: @truewellnesssglobalPodcast: FLOWE: Lymphatic Wisdom- Open Your Heart and Optimize WellnessScar Masterclass: https://www.flowintohealth.com/conquer-your-scar-energy-blocks Get Your Lymph Flowing with the FlowVibrate: https://www.flowintohealth.com/flow_vibe-1680Access Her Free Guide on Manual Lymphatic Drainage:  https://www.flowintohealth.com/lymph-manual-pdf-optin-page3 Week Lymphatic Mini C.U.R.E.

I've always dreamt about becoming a dad. I know little moments like teaching them the ABCs, running them to soccer practice, or helping them pick out their prom outfits are going to bring me a lot of joy. I'm even ready for the challenging moments like sleepless nights, pre-teen outbursts, and difficult “growing up” conversations.One thing that I'm not sure I'm ready for is the cost of children. I was reading a survey and apparently, the average cost of raising a kid from 0 to 18 years old in the United States is $237,000. And I'm not quite sure I would be on the low end of the average.I agree with Maya Corbic, our guest today, that you can't put a price on the love that you'll have for your child but the financial impact has to at least be considered in your decision-making progress.How much does a pregnancy cost? What financial milestones should I accomplish before having a child? Can I realistically afford to take care of a child right now?These are all questions that will be answered in today's episode. As I mentioned, we'll be talking to Maya Corbic. She is the creator behind the popular Instagram page teach.kids.money where she is helping parents raise financially savvy children. She is also the author of “From Piggy Bank to Stocks: The Ultimate Guide for a Young Investor” where she introduces children (and honestly parents) to the exciting world of investing.This is a great episode for anyone considering parenthood and also soon-to-be parents as we discuss a lot of early childhood cost savings tips.Let's get into it. I hope you enjoy my conversation with the 1st gen immigrant, CPA, and energetic mom of 2…Maya Corbic.Key Takeaways:The average cost of raising a childFinancial milestones to consider hitting before becoming a parentFinancial to-dos to prepare for an addition to your familyHow to reduce your child-related expenses and find great dealsHow to invest in your children's education through a 529 accountThe sneaky benefits of a custodial accountThe importance of aligning your family and financial valuesMore of Maya:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/teach.kids.money/From Piggy Bank to Stocks: https://dinariiwealthykidsclub.lpages.co/from-piggy-banks-to-stocks/More of The Struggle is Real:Find show notes and more at https://www.tsirpodcast.com/Follow us on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/tsirpod/
