High performer pressure feels like motivation, but it's actually survival. In this episode, Julie Holly unpacks why pressure becomes a safety strategy — and how internal steadiness becomes the real path to mastery. Learn to shift from stress to alignment.Why do high performers rely on pressure — even when it's draining them? In this episode, Julie Holly reveals the identity-level truth beneath performance pressure, burnout recovery, and the internal exhaustion so many high-capacity humans carry.When life looks successful but doesn't feel sustainable, it's not a motivation problem — it's a safety problem. Pressure becomes the nervous system's way of creating stability, clarity, and urgency. But pressure doesn't produce mastery. Internal safety does.Drawing from Self-Determination Theory, internal coherence, and the embodied practices of elite performers like LeBron James, Julie explains why pressure narrows your identity, fragments your clarity, and keeps you locked in survival-mode excellence.Inside this episode you'll learn:why performance pressure becomes a default survival strategyhow identity misalignment drives decision fatigue and success without fulfillmenthow allostatic load creates internal chaos even when life looks stablewhy safety expands creativity, mastery, and grounded ambitionhow internal coherence replaces adrenaline as your true internal stabilizerwhy ILR is the only pathway that shifts excellence from stress to identity-level alignmentJulie walks you through practical, accessible micro-recalibrations you can use today to interrupt the pressure loop and retrain your nervous system to trust safety instead of urgency — without sacrificing your edge.Named Entities: LeBron James (elite performance + regulation), Self-Determination Theory (Deci & Ryan), Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR).Today's Micro Recalibration:Ask yourself:Where have I mistaken pressure for motivation? Choose one area and explore:What would this look like if safety led instead of stress?What would excellence look like from alignment, not adrenaline?What small cue of safety can I give my body before I begin?Team Extension: Ask your team: “Where are we driving performance through pressure instead of clarity?”If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

No matter how much personal transformation work we've done, there will always be layers we haven't yet uncovered and places within us that still need healing. In this episode, I'm joined by Master Coach Robyn Graham to discuss what it means to heal from a place of connection and safety, and how everything begins to shift–for you and your coaching clients–when you open yourself to a more holistic way of thinking about growth and change.Robyn Graham is the host of a globally acclaimed podcast, The Robyn Graham Show, and the best-selling author of You, Me, and Anxiety: Take Action Over Anxiety to Enjoy Being You.

When we experience feeling safe–within ourselves and within a community–that's when healing can finally emerge. You'll hear from Robyn about how being surrounded by like-minded women in an encouraging environment is an invaluable experience. The deep healing and transformation that happens in a community of women is truly the magic of Master Coach Training.As coaches, we have a powerful opportunity to model what it looks like to know ourselves and lead from a place of peace. We don't just change our lives when we do that inner work; we ripple that peace and presence out to everyone around us.

It is estimated that there are at least 28 million adult children of alcoholics in the United States alone. The statistics are staggering. Combine those numbers with a deep understanding of the impact of growing up in an alcoholic home, and it becomes easy to understand why so many adult children struggle with emotional regulation, telling the truth, setting boundaries and with emotional dependencies that result in seeking approval and validation in order to feel somewhat 'normal'. Many adult children of alcoholics do not even know their parents or grandparents were alcoholics. Toxic family systems are enmeshed and shrouded in denial. When the adults in the family are not addressing their trauma, they inadvertently pass that trauma down to their children. Listen in as Lisa A. Romano offers adult children across the globe an opportunity to better understand themselves, how they process their emotions and perceive themselves and the world through a trauma lens, offering all those who are willing and ready an opportunity to live above the veil of consciousness, the only place where true transformation can occur.  This episode is a must-listen if you: Grew up with a parent who struggle with addiction. You are the grandchild of an alcoholic. Recognize that you struggle to know what you want or need. Identify as a cyclebreaker, who is ready to speak the truth and end generational trauma with you! ✨ Pro tip: Understanding your parent's trauma is often a key in recovering from subconscious faulty, negative childhood survival patterns.  Begin Your Healing Journey: Lisa introduces her signature 12 Week Breakthrough Method—a trauma-informed, neuroscience-based coaching program designed for adult children of narcissistic, neglectful, or emotionally immature parents. Inside the program, you'll discover: Brain retraining techniques rooted in neuroscience. Inner child healing and self-concept reorganization.

Thousands have transformed their lives with this method—learning to step out of survival mode and into authentic, empowered living.

Summary In this episode, Ali Damron explores the intricate relationship between stress, repressed emotions, and the nervous system. She discusses how stress manifests in our bodies and minds, the impact of childhood experiences on emotional development, and the importance of radical acceptance in managing anxiety. The conversation emphasizes the need to recognize and process emotions rather than suppress them, highlighting the role of coping mechanisms and the significance of teaching our brains to feel safe. Ali encourages listeners to engage with their emotions and live their lives despite the presence of anxiety and stress. Takeaways Life is inherently stressful, affecting various aspects of our lives. Stress can lead to hormonal imbalances and various health issues. Managing stress is often oversimplified; we need deeper strategies. Repressed emotions can keep us stuck in anxiety. The nervous system interprets suppressed emotions as danger. Childhood experiences shape our emotional responses and coping mechanisms. Coping strategies often involve avoidance behaviors. Radical acceptance helps in acknowledging and processing emotions. Teaching the brain that it is safe to feel is crucial for healing. Engaging with life despite anxiety can promote emotional safety.

“Fake it till you make it” can keep you moving, but there is a cost. When the prefrontal cortex tries to do the job of the whole brain, it burns fuel fast, cravings rise, and coping loops take over. This episode breaks down emotional regulation as a full-body, brain-wide process, not a mindset trick. You will learn how integration across interoception, proprioception, the insula, anterior cingulate, cerebellum, and prefrontal cortex supports flexible, context-appropriate responses. We explore why shutdowns, flooding, or masking are often adaptations to threat, how sensory mismatch and modern screen habits compound dysregulation, and why big peak experiences without preparation can overwhelm rather than heal. Expect practical, trauma-informed ways to build capacity with minimum-effective-dose practices, daily nervous system hygiene, and a simple “emotional retrospect” journaling flow that plants new options for next time. If you have ever thought, “I know I am safe, but my body does not,” this conversation offers science, compassion, and usable tools to reconnect brain and body.   Timestamps: 00:00 What “fake it till you make it” costs the nervous system 05:12 What emotional regulation really is and why context matters 12:30 Integration 101: body signals, brain networks, and coordination 21:45 Everyday patterns: flooding, shutdown, perfectionism, doom-scrolling 29:10 Key regions: insula, ACC, cerebellum, prefrontal cortex 36:05 Sensory mismatch, modern lifestyle, and capacity 44:20 Peak somatic experiences: preparation, risk, and integration 52:00 Building capacity: daily hygiene, minimum-effective-dose practice 58:40 The “emotional retrospect” journaling protocol 1:05:00 Individual and collective growth, closing takeaways Key Takeaways: Emotional regulation means full-spectrum access to feelings without being hijacked, not suppression. Integration is a brain-body loop; accurate interoception and proprioception improve predictions and choice. Sensory mismatch and chronic stress bias the system toward protection, which can look like flooding, masking, or collapse. Peak intensity does not equal integration; preparation and real-time capacity building matter. Small, consistent practices create new options by improving signal quality and planting novel responses.

Most women don't realize how often they unintentionally emasculate the men they love — through tone, criticism, or constantly “doing it all” themselves.In this real-talk episode, Jannine breaks down what emasculation actually looks like, why it happens, and how to shift from control and resentment into appreciation, partnership, and polarity.You'll hear how the “boss babe” mindset — the one that tells women they have to hold it all together — quietly kills intimacy and attraction, and how one simple energetic shift can bring safety, harmony, and desire back into your relationship.Inside, Jannine shares:

We've all had bad bosses.We might have even been one. At the very least, we've probably let people down who counted on us.We all carry burdens from our past that show up in how we lead. And we're all confronting systems that foster toxic workplace cultures where overwork and blurred boundaries are the norm, spaces that don't feel safe or generative, and where there is little to no accountability.The question we face is simple, but urgent: How do we want to lead?Our leadership can reinforce toxic systems and norms. Or we can learn to recognize our own burdens and do the work to become more aware, adaptable, and flexible. We can create spaces where people feel seen, heard, and valued, even when systems feel unstable or unfair.Because leading is about deciding, in every moment, whether we respond from our burdens or from our values. And my guest today helps us reflect on those choices and decide how we want to lead through her own lived experiences with bad bosses. Mita Mallick is a Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author who is on a mission to fix what's broken in our workplaces.

Politicians love to proclaim CRIME IS DOWN without noting that crime rates are still way out of control compared to pre-2020 life. ABC News law enforcement contributor Don Mihalek, a retired Senior Secret Service agent, weighs the CRIME IS DOWN claim versus how citizens actually feel about their personal safety.Don points out there's a significant difference between the crime stats that are being referred to and the population actually feeling safe. He points out that the latest action by the Trump administration is not without precedent: in the 1980's and 90's federal agencies combined to create a task force to knock back the drug problems of those years.BONUS: Joe Biden audio from 1991 where he describes his nighttime driving habits of evading red light stops for feat of being carjacked in Washington D.C.

In this powerful episode, I sit down with EMDR therapist, trauma specialist, and creator of the Embodied Rise Method, Cassandra Quick, to explore how true healing begins with understanding our inner world. Together, we unpack the emotional layers of trauma, the impact of attachment styles, and the healing power of reconnecting with the inner child. Cassandra shares how modalities like EMDR therapy, EFT tapping, and trauma-conscious yoga can help rewire the nervous system and create a sense of safety in the body. Key Topics Covered: What “parts work” really means—and how our protective parts are trying to help Why so many women were conditioned to suppress anger, and how that shows up today How EMDR works and why it's so effective for trauma recovery Big T vs Little t trauma—and why all trauma is valid Navigating attachment styles and emotional safety in relationships Tools for emotional regulation, energy shifts, and intuition The 3-step Illuminate Blueprint and the Embodied Rise Method for holistic healing A personal story about being triggered after a big life moment—and how to move through it with grace Whether you're new to trauma work or deep in the healing process, this episode is a reminder that your triggers are treasures, your body is a messenger, and healing happens when you learn to connect with yourself, with others, and with your story.

What if your biggest emotional blocks weren't just about pain… but about protection? This powerful insight is at the heart of Part 2 of Brandy's session with the beautiful and insightful Dr. Kim D'Eramo where deep emotional patterns are revealed and rewired live. Even if you haven't listened to Part 1, this episode will speak directly to you—especially if you've been doing the inner work but still feel stuck. Brandy helps uncover how subconscious emotional reflexes, like guilt, anger, and fear of failure, can silently hold pain in place… and how to finally reprogram them for good. In this episode, you'll discover: Why healing doesn't stick until emotional reflexes are rewired How to release emotional triggers and feel safe—without controlling your emotions The hidden reasons we stay stuck in patterns, even when we “know better” A simple shift that changes everything in your relationships, your body, and your life What it really means to feel safe, connected, and emotionally free Whether you're new to this work or deep in your healing path, this session offers life-changing insights you can apply right away.

For years, Dr. Russell Kennedy tried everything to treat his crippling anxiety – therapy, medication – nothing worked. It wasn't until he stopped searching in his head and started looking to his body that everything changed. Today, Russell helps others heal by targeting what he calls “background alarm,” a residue of unresolved childhood trauma stored in the body. On this week's episode of Everyday Better, Leah sits down with Russell to explore why traditional treatments for anxiety often fall short, and what it really takes to heal from the inside out. Russell shares the somatic tools and mindset shifts that have helped him and his patients regulate their nervous systems, reconnect with their inner child and break free from the anxiety loop. He also explains why healing starts not with fixing your thoughts but by feeling what's been buried in your body all along.

We all crave emotional safety and stability in our long-term relationships…But what if that very safety is what slowly smothers erotic desire?In this livestream, I dive into one of the most frustrating and misunderstood dynamics in long-term monogamy: the trade-off between comfort and sexuality.Why does it feel like the more secure your relationship becomes, the more the passion disappears?Join The HFM Brotherhood!

We're often told that courage is about inner strength…that we have to dig deep and face the fear alone. But that's not how it actually works. Courage is a relational experience. We're more likely to take brave steps when we feel emotionally safe, supported, and connected. In this episode, we're exploring how safe belonging, not just fitting in, but being truly accepted becomes the foundation for real change. We'll dig into how the nervous system responds to connection, why we're more likely to take risks when we feel emotionally secure, and what happens when that belonging is missing or conditional. You'll also hear how to tell the difference between false belonging (where you shrink to fit in) and true belonging (where you expand to be yourself). If you've ever wondered why change feels impossible in certain relationships - or why you suddenly feel more capable in others - this episode is for you.   Three Takeaways 1.    The body needs to feel safe before the brain can take a risk. Belonging calms fear and unlocks courage. 2.    You can't be brave in environments where you're trying to survive. Safety isn't optional, it's foundational. 3.    True belonging allows you to make choices that reflect who you are, not just who others expect you to be.   That's what safe belonging does.  It doesn't just hold you-it helps you come back to yourself  and move forward as the version of you who finally feels free to grow.     Get your FREE Boundaries Ebook here!

In this episode, I chat with Dr. Pedram Shojai to dive into the fascinating connection between your gut and your overall health. We break down neuroception — how your body subconsciously scans for safety — and why it plays such a critical role in healing and performance. We get into the gut's “second brain,” the enteric nervous system, and how it drives your physical and mental well-being without you even realizing it. Dr. Shojai also shares real-world insights on tackling dysbiosis, understanding gut-immune symbiosis, and how simple lifestyle shifts can radically improve your health. If you've ever wondered how stress, gut health, and the nervous system all tie together — and how to actually use that knowledge to feel better — this is an episode you won't want to miss. Key Takeaways: Understanding Neuroception: Neuroception refers to the subconscious detection of safety or threat in the body, playing a crucial role in both gut health and overall well-being. Gut as an Immune Organ: The gut houses the majority of the body's immune cells, acting as a critical barrier between the inside of the body and external threats. Role of Stress in Gut Health: Chronic stress can disrupt gut microbiota, leading to issues like dysbiosis and gut permeability, thereby affecting mental health. Food Sensitivities: Identifying and avoiding food sensitivities can prevent chronic inflammation, leading to better overall health. Holistic Approaches to Wellness: Emphasizing mind-body practices, such as meditation and breath work, can improve gut health by promoting a balanced parasympathetic state.   More About Dr. Pedram Shojai: Dr. Pedram Shojai is a man with many titles. He is the founder and director of The Urban Monk Academy. He's the NYT Best Sellingauthor of the books Rise and Shine, The Urban Monk, The Art ofStopping Time, Inner Alchemy, Exhausted, Trauma, Focus, andConscious Parenting.He's the producer of the movies Vitality, Origins, Prosperity, and TheGreat Heist and the docuseries: Interconnected, Gateway to Health,Exhausted, Trauma, Conscious Parenting, Hormones Health & Harmony, and Gut Check.He's the host of“The Urban Monk” podcast and is a key influencer in the health and personal development space.He's a prominent physician in the functional medicine space and is known for his ability to bring people together around ideas that matter. oing all this, he's a chill guy who now lives up in the mountains and values his days on how much time he gets with his family.

Episode OverviewIn this episode of Spiral Deeper, our host, Gaby Azorsky, speaks with Deb Dana. Deb Dana is a clinician, consultant, author, and international lecturer on polyvagal theory-informed work with trauma survivors and is the leading translator of this scientific work to the public and mental health professionals. A founding member of the Polyvagal Institute, Deb developed the signature Rhythm of Regulation® Clinical Training Series: The Science of Feeling Safe Enough To Fall in Love with Life and Take the Risks of Living. By understanding and learning about the nervous system, Deb Dana has created the Rhythm of Regulation® to help humans resolve the impact of trauma in our lives so we may fall in love with life. Deb's work shows how an understanding of Polyvagal Theory is applicable across the board to relationships, mental health, and trauma. Deb believes that we all benefit when we have a basic understanding of the ways the nervous system works and learn how to become active operators of this essential system. Following this passion has led her to offering workshops in partnership with groups and communities outside of the clinical arena - and bringing the Polyvagal perspective to the ordinary, and sometimes extraordinary, experiences of daily living.Together, they dive into rhythms of life, polyvagal theory and her work, our nervous systems, the organizing principles of neuroception, hierarchy, and co-regulation, and more. They also talk about attachment and attunement, safe others to feel nourished, what it means to be regulated as friends/partners/parents, and some ways to start resourcing ourselves to be able to be with what is. Gaby highly recommends this episode if you would like to begin to better understand how our nervous systems function unconsciously, and how we can learn to listen and co-regulate with ourselves and with each other to create lives that are more joyful, grounded, and resilient.
