The place where we connect to meaning, hope, compassion, courage, clarity, calm, and something bigger than us.Together, Alison and Cheryl talk about the wounds, experiences, conditioning, shame, grief, fear, and protective parts that can cover that place inside of us and make us feel like we have lost ourselves.This conversation is deeply personal for Alison, as she shares what it felt like after losing her husband and realizing there were moments when she could not “get back to Alison.”You'll hear:What it really means to lead from the soulHow pain, grief, and life experiences can disconnect us from ourselvesWhy healing often begins with compassion, not criticismHow Internal Family Systems can help us understand the parts of us that are trying to protect usWhy some behaviors that look unhealthy may have started as protectionHow therapists, parents, and leaders can hold hope for someone until they can hold it for themselvesWhy connection is essential in parenting, leadership, and healingHow to help children build identity and self-worth from the inside outWhat it means to stop letting outside evidence define who you areHow to begin finding your way back to your truest selfIf you have ever felt buried under grief, shame, anxiety, expectations, or the weight of what life has done to you, this conversation is a reminder that you are still in there.You are not gone.There is a deeper place within you that can still be reached, strengthened, and led from.In this episode:00:00 What does it mean to lead from the soul?00:50 Meet Cheryl Donaldson03:00 Raising emotionally intelligent children04:48 Getting to the heart of what activates us07:06 Cheryl's path into soul work09:36 When someone needs you to sit with their soul12:52 What is the soul?15:04 Alison opens up about losing herself after grief16:18 How to strengthen the soul17:58 Holding hope for someone who has lost it21:38 Leaving your burdens in the room23:35 Internal Family Systems and soul work27:34 Understanding the parts that protect us31:08 Compassion, forgiveness, and self-understanding34:07 The deeper place beyond yourself36:19 Living from a surrendered and purposeful state37:07 Why some people become deeper after pain39:22 Alison's viral conversation about suicide46:04 Finding peace by connecting with the soul47:46 How leaders can lead from the soul50:16 Why connection comes before correction52:21 How childhood labels shape identity53:31 Choosing how you see your own value56:05 Breaking the evidence that says you are not enough01:00:06 A simple way to reconnect with your soul01:01:43 Alison's experience meeting her higher selfConnect with Alison:Instagram: @alisonanswers | @lagercounselingWebsite: LagerCounseling.comYouTube: Alison AnswersFacebook: Alison Lager Lcsw CasacPurchase Alison's book: “The Wake Up Call”Alison Answers Facebook Group: Join HEREWomen of Excellence FB group: Join HERE⚠️ Crisis Resources:Lager Counseling ServicesCall: 516-221-2123Text: (914) 363-0381Wantagh: 3408 Park Ave. Wantagh, NY 11793988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (24/7, free, confidential)Call or text 988 | Visit 988lifeline.org

Lantz sits down with Chris DeLeenheer — family office leader, investor, former church planter and missionary, and author of The Quiet Drift: Why Successful People lose their Way and How to Find Your Way Back — for a conversation that moves from bow hunting and endurance racing straight into the deep end: identity, sonship, and what happens when a driven man realizes his work has quietly become his worth.Chris traces his own story from planting a church, to a season in India, to building and selling companies (including a stint with Fuego) — all while wrestling with a truth that reshaped everything: "our work is simply an arena" for God's formation, not our identity. He calls it becoming a "mystical entrepreneur" — learning to check in with the Holy Spirit before every room, every deal, every sales call, rather than walking in on performance or proving.The conversation turns personal and honest fast: Chris talks about the moment his wife Libby told him he was "following, not leading," what it cost him to hear that, and why he now believes vulnerability — not bulletproof confidence — is what his daughters actually need to see from their dad. He closes with why he's running the seven World Marathon Majors to raise a million dollars for clean water through World Vision, and why physical discipline has become inseparable from his spiritual formation.What You'll Hear[01:51] Learning to rest as an "output person" — bow hunting, snow skiing, and endurance racing as new inputs[06:29] The weekly date night habit and the questions that help his wife Libby process her week[08:04] The moment on the operating table with God: "I'm committed to being the man of your dreams"[10:23] From church planting to a business born in India — "a mystical entrepreneur" in the making[17:14] Walking into Fortune 500 boardrooms with no résumé — and calling it "the favor of a son"[19:00] "I'm not an entrepreneur or a family office guy — I'm a son"[21:24] The mystical entrepreneur practice: checking in with the Lord before every room, every call[22:14] Feeling too small — or too big — for the room, and why both are forms of the same arrogance[38:01] "Until people are sick and tired of being sick and tired, they usually don't change" — and why it doesn't have to be a crisis[39:26] The word God gave him before he made a dime: "I have enough rich Christians. I don't need another one."[42:34] A therapist's line that reframed his parenting: "Your vulnerability is your strength"[45:09] Libby's role as spiritual discerner in the marriage — and learning not to convince her, just be transparent[47:27] The hard word from Libby that changed him: "You're following, not leading"[48:24] Why control and scoreboards don't work in marriage — "let's outdo one another in service"[51:06] Running toward the seven World Marathon Majors to raise $1M for clean water through World Vision[52:49] Running 12 miles with his daughter — physical discipline as a shared spiritual disciplineIf Chris's story stirred something in you — about letting your work become an arena for formation instead of your identity, about leading instead of following in your marriage — I'd love to help you take the next step:For your leadership and calling → lantzhoward.com For your marriage → championhusband.comIf this conversation was encouraging to you, share it with someone you love and care about — there's probably a name that came to mind while you were listening.Subscribe · Share · Leave a reviewPeace and courage on your leadership journey.

Sometimes finding yourself again begins with simply giving yourself permission to pause and listen. ✨ You are not broken. ✨ You are not behind. ✨ You may simply be becoming someone new.

"The real journey begins when the life you knew no longer has the answers." What if feeling lost, confused, or broken isn't a sign that your life is falling apart, but the beginning of your real journey? In this profound episode of SoulTalk, Kute Blackson sits down with bestselling author and pilgrimage expert Phil Cousineau to explore the timeless wisdom hidden inside Homer's Odyssey and why this ancient story speaks so powerfully to the struggles we face today. Phil reveals that the journey home is not simply about finding your way back to a place. It is about finding your way back to yourself. Drawing from The Odyssey, Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey, mythology, pilgrimage, and his new book The Wisdom of the Odyssey, Phil explores what happens when the identity that once carried us through life no longer works. He explains why the "dark night of the soul" can be a necessary passage toward transformation, why we sometimes need to surrender the illusion that we can do everything alone, and how reconnecting with the deepest parts of ourselves can reveal the strength we thought we had lost. This is a conversation about suffering, courage, humility, healing, purpose, and love and ultimately about one of life's most important questions: Have you lost your way, or are you finally being called home? Timestamps (00:02:16) — How Phil's journey with Joseph Campbell shaped his understanding of The Odyssey. (00:04:18) — Why feeling lost may be the beginning of your real journey. (00:07:22) — Why you were never meant to figure everything out alone. (00:12:14) — The Dark Night of the Soul and why you can't skip the darkness. (00:16:22) — How to hear the inner voice that can guide you home. (00:21:03) — The three stages that turn darkness into transformation. (00:35:39) — Why telling your story may be the healing you need. (00:47:04) — How to stop losing yourself and finally find your way home. Some Questions I Ask: What do you do when you feel completely lost in life? How do you trust the journey when everything is falling apart? Is suffering necessary for real transformation? How do you navigate the Dark Night of the Soul? Why does doing the right thing sometimes feel like losing? How do you find your way back to your true self? In This Episode You'll Learn: Why feeling lost may be where your real journey begins. How to navigate the Dark Night of the Soul. Why suffering can become a doorway to transformation. How to hear your inner voice when life gets noisy. Why telling your story can set something inside you free.

On a trip to Panama a few months ago, Avi Abelow was blessed to sit down with Rabbi Laine of Panama City, Panama, for a fascinating and extremely practical conversation about his book, “GPS for a Happier Marriage.”Marriage is one of the greatest blessings in life, but even the strongest marriages can go off track every once in a while. Daily pressures, work, children, responsibilities, communication challenges and simple misunderstandings can slowly create distance between a husband and wife, even when both deeply love each other and are committed to making their marriage work.That is what makes Rabbi Lane's approach so valuable.In this interview with Avi Abelow, Rabbi Laine breaks down some of the fundamental differences between men and women and explains how understanding those differences can completely change the way spouses communicate with and understand one another.Sometimes what one spouse intends as love, concern or help is interpreted completely differently by the other. Instead of assuming bad intentions, understanding how men and women often think, communicate and process emotions differently can help couples stop unnecessary arguments before they begin.Think of it as a GPS for marriage. Sometimes you make a wrong turn. That doesn't mean the journey is over or the marriage is broken. You simply need to recognize where you are, recalculate and get back on the right road, together.This conversation is filled with practical relationship and marriage advice that I believe can benefit newlyweds, couples who have been married for decades, and everyone in between.A strong marriage requires work, understanding, patience, communication, and a willingness to continue learning about your spouse.I highly recommend watching this interview, sharing it with other couples, and purchasing Rabbi Lane's book, “GPS for a Happier Marriage.” The book can be purchased here: https://www.amazon.com/GPS-Happier-Ma...There is always more we can learn about becoming better husbands, better wives, and building stronger, happier marriages.Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMvFollow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelowJoin our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulseFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=enPulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetworkVisit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/

There is a moment that is coming. You do not know when. You do not know what it will look like. You do not know if it will feel like triumph or disaster. But something is going to happen. Something is going to shift. Something is going to be different tomorrow or next week or next month. And you need to be ready for it. Not ready in the sense of having a plan. Not ready in the sense of knowing what to do. Just ready in the sense of being able to bend without breaking. Being able to hold the shape of your life even when it changes. Being able to adapt to the new thing without losing who you are. That is what readiness really is. Not preparation. Not control. Just the ability to stay yourself through the change.DISCLAIMER
Have you ever been so ready to fix something that you forgot to ask if fixing was even what was needed? In this final episode of the six-part series with therapist and communication coach Jason VanRuler, Candace and Jason shift from how we disconnect to how we reconnect. What does the on-ramp actually look like? It starts with willingness, with curiosity, and with giving the people we love room to grow at their own speed. Listener questions take center stage here: A wife who has been worn down by a husband who seems chronically disappointed. A person who absorbs everyone's moods and can't shake them. A newly married woman asking what no one told her going in. Jason's answers are practical and honest, and Candace adds what she has actually lived, including the moment she realized that praying together changed everything in her own marriage. This one brings the series home with tools you can use today, and a reminder that the relationships worth having are worth the long game.

Most high-performing men have built their identity around their career. And without even realising it, that career has taken over their nervous system, their presence, and who they actually are. In this episode, I share one of the most powerful conversations I have had with a client — a two-year journey of rebuilding identity after years of high-pressure, high-stress survival mode. This one goes deep. Inside this episode: •How your career quietly takes over your identity and rewires your nervous system •Why being in survival mode 24/7 makes it impossible to be present at home •The moment I realised I was chasing a guarantee that life was never going to give me •The Jimmy Carr quote that reframes everything: it's not the pursuit of happiness — it's the happiness of the pursuit •Why most men do not actually know what happiness means for them •How to identify the keywords that genuinely make you feel fulfilled — not just successful •The identity shift that instantly removed my pressure: "I'm not a high-performing coach. I'm a full-time family man who runs a lifestyle business." •Why building your life around your career puts you in a well-paid rat trap •A simple morning challenge that trains your nervous system to switch off survival mode You are the guarantee. Not the business. Not the income. Not the next milestone. The work starts on the inside.

Heather Gates—strategist, facilitator, host of the Stand in the & podcast, and devoted lover of humans—joins me for a rich, imaginal conversation about alignment, paradox, and what it really looks like to live in service to human flourishing without burning yourself to the ground in the process. We explore how metaphor, somatics, and parts work can help us befriend the many versions of ourselves over a lifetime — what Heather beautifully calls "the kaleidoscope of butterflies" — and how to keep watering the orchid of our lives when we're deep in the not-yet. In this episode, we explore: Honoring sensitivity, big feelings, and "too muchness" through somatics and parts work (IFS) instead of shaming or suppressing them Why we often don't realize we're out of alignment until we finally say yes to what we've been longing to do and feel it "click." Actually flourishing vs. performing flourishing — building a life that feels alive in the body, not just impressive on paper Softening as a spiritual and somatic practice: moving from inner ass-kicking to self-regard, gentleness, and open-handedness Why we need at least one person who can meet us in the "I can't tell which end is up" moments — and what becomes possible when we find them This one is for anyone navigating transition, living between stories, or trying to honor their purpose without abandoning their body. If you're longing for a more humane way to work, lead, and live, this conversation is for you.

Have you ever wondered why intimacy feels harder than it should? Why desire feels distant, or why being fully present in your body during sex feels just out of reach — even when everything else in your life seems fine? Most women in midlife assume it is hormones. And sometimes it is. But sometimes the story runs deeper, back through experiences the body absorbed and quietly held onto.In this episode of Pleasure in the Pause, Gabriella sits down with licensed clinical social worker, psychotherapist, and AASECT certified sex therapist Brooke Bralove for one of the most important conversations this show has ever had. They go deep into what trauma actually is, how it lives in the nervous system, and how it shapes desire, arousal, and the ability to feel safe in intimacy in ways most women never connect. They also explore a remarkable and fast-working therapy called Accelerated Resolution Therapy, or ART, and how it is helping women finally feel present and safe in their bodies again.This is a tender topic. If anything in this episode stirs something up for you, please give yourself permission to pause and take whatever space you need.Brooke Bralove is a licensed clinical social worker, psychotherapist, and AASECT certified sex therapist with over 20 years in private practice. She specializes in trauma, sexual health, and emotional healing, helping individuals and couples move through anxiety, trauma, and relationship challenges so they can feel more connected, confident, and fully themselves. A trained Accelerated Resolution Therapy practitioner and sought after speaker, Brooke is known for her warmth, her insight, and her gift for making complex emotional and neurological processes feel accessible and real. She practices in Bethesda, Maryland just outside Washington DC. Key InsightsTrauma is broader than most women realize.The body holds onto experiences long after the mind has moved on.Low libido is not always hormonal. Accelerated Resolution Therapy works fast.You are more than your past sexual experiences.This conversation is for every woman who has ever wondered why pleasure feels so far away — and never thought to look at her history for the answer. The body is not broken. It is protecting itself the only way it knows how. And with the right support, it can learn that it is safe to open again.

Send us Fan Mail What if the emotions you've been pushing away are the very ones trying to help you? In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, co-host Sayan sits down with emotional balance coach and author Sophie Malahieude to explore a quieter, more compassionate way of relating to our inner world — especially in seasons of grief, transition, anger, and fear. Sophie brings a practical framework rooted in yoga, Ayurveda, and 20 years of personal practice. Listeners will walk away with real tools to recognize what their emotions are actually asking, stop suppressing the cycle, and move from fear-based reactions to grounded, love-led responses. About the Guest: Sophie Malahieude is a French-born emotional balance coach, certified life coach, yoga teacher, and Ayurvedic lifestyle consultant currently based in Florida. She has spent over 20 years studying and teaching mindfulness-based practices and is the author of Beyond Emotions: Stop Letting Emotions Control You and Start Living with Love. Key Takeaways: Emotions are not obstacles — they are messengers. Every emotion, including anger, fear, and sadness, carries a purpose and points to something that needs your attention. Emotional balance is not about staying calm all the time. It means getting curious about what you feel instead of suppressing or reacting to it. When an emotion isn't processed, it doesn't disappear — it gets stored in the body and resurfaces as tension, resentment, or even physical illness. Letting the cycle complete is essential. A simple three-step practice can shift everything: return to your breath, locate the emotion in your body, then get curious through journaling or self-inquiry to uncover your truth. You don't always have to do this alone. A trusted, detached presence — a coach, therapist, or grounded friend — can help you see what you've been unable to see from the inside. Responding instead of reacting is not a skill you're born with. It grows through honest self-reflection and the willingness to pause before you speak.

What if the thing you're missing in your healing journey… is actually having fun?

In 1990, 55% of American adults reported having sex weekly. By 2024 that number had fallen to just 37%, and among adults aged 18–29, the share reporting no sex at all in the past year has doubled, from 12% to 24%. We are in the middle of a sex recession. And most of us have no idea why, or what to do about it. In this special episode of Good Is In The Details (recorded live at Podapalooza, a one-day podcast matching event) host Gwendolyn Dolske sits down with Xanet Pailet: nationally recognized sexuality educator and coach, somatic sexologist, and bestselling author of Living an Orgasmic Life: Heal Yourself and Awaken Your Pleasure, a former NYC healthcare lawyer who lived in a sexless marriage for over two decades before experiencing her own sexual healing and dedicating her career to helping others do the same. It's philosophy of intimacy, and genuinely useful psychology all in one conversation. What we explore in this episode: What's actually driving the sex recession, from smartphones and "bedtime procrastination" to the collapse of in-person socializing (young adults in 2024 spend less than half as much time with friends as they did in 2010) and what it means for our relationships. Why inadequate sex education and overexposure to pornography are creating unrealistic expectations and disconnecting people from genuine intimacy, and what healthy sexual education actually looks like. How bad early sexual experiences create lasting somatic patterns that shut people down, and what it takes to heal them. The common thread running through every healthy, intimate long-term relationship, and why most couples never talk about it. How to get unstuck in a long-term relationship that has lost its spark: practical, evidence-based, and compassionate strategies from a coach who has helped hundreds of couples. Why sexual expression is inseparable from emotional needs, and what happens to both partners when those needs go unaddressed for years. Whether you're in a long-term relationship that's lost its spark, navigating your own relationship with desire and intimacy, or simply trying to understand why an entire generation seems to be opting out of sex, this episode will give you a new framework for thinking about one of the most fundamental human experiences. About the format: This episode was recorded at Podapalooza — a live podcast matching event where hosts and guests connect in real time, no pre-research, no prepared talking points.

Are you trading your long-term peace and eternal future for a short-term pleasure? Discover how one small choice can lead to life's biggest regrets and how you can reclaim your spiritual inheritance today. In this powerful message, Elliott Warren explores the life-altering story of Jacob and Esau to answer a critical question: What are you willing to give up for a "single meal"?. While many focus on building wealth or satisfying immediate desires, this sermon reveals the hidden spiritual costs of living for "the flesh" over "the spirit". Through the warning in Hebrews 12 and the modern cautionary tale of Charles Templeton, you will learn how to identify the subtle ways the "spirit of Mammon" and worldly distractions can lead you off course. This message offers a wake-up call to anyone who feels like they've been living "halfway in and halfway out," providing the hope and steps needed to prioritize eternal things before it's too late. 0:00 – Welcome and Prayer for Our Nation 2:20 – Overcoming the Spirit of Mammon and Financial Deception 6:07 – The Life of Jacob: Seeking God's Blessing 7:51 – Genesis 25: Why Esau Sold His Birthright for a Single Meal 11:00 – Flesh vs. Spirit: Understanding the Difference Between Edom and Israel 17:00 – The Solemn Warning in Hebrews 12 for Every Believer 20:41 – The Stupidity of Sin: Sacrificing the Spiritual for the Natural 43:59 – A Modern Warning: The Story of Charles Templeton 58:43 – Is It Ever Too Late?

In this episode, Dusty kicks off 2026 with an honest, unfiltered check-in on life, training, grief, and the weight loss journey. Fresh off a half marathon and looking ahead to the year, he talks about why planning matters more than motivation, how small calorie creep can undo even “good” habits, and why you can't out-train a misaligned diet.Dusty opens up about navigating stress, loss, and long-term food addiction, even after nearly a decade of maintaining massive weight loss. He shares why he's shifting focus from constant racing to strength training, aesthetics, and sustainable routines, plus the reality of gaining a little weight without letting it spiral into quitting.If you've experienced regain, burnout, or just feel off rhythm, this episode is a reminder that you're not broken, you're human. You've done hard things before, and you can do them again, with a plan, a positive mindset, and patience for the long game.

Knowing Who You Are helps you step up and be who God has called you to be.
Today's conversation starts with a simple question: What are we talking about? And it turns into something bigger—something we've been seeing everywhere. Men who feel stuck. Men who feel adrift. Men running on autopilot and wondering, Now what? Guys who know deep down there's more in them, even if they don't know how to get to it. And here's the thing… the women in their lives see it too. In this episode, we dig into why so many men are wrestling with drift, discipline, identity, and disconnection—and why something like Built For More seems to hit a nerve every time it comes up. If you're a man who knows you were built for something deeper, or someone who loves a man who's fighting through this season, this conversation is going to land.5 Key TakeawaysMost men aren't broken… but they are disconnected. They're stuck, adrift, or running on autopilot—doing what's expected, not what's aligned. That disconnection shows up in relationships, work, fatherhood, discipline, and identity. Men carry silent burdens until they explode. Guys bury stress, shame, fear, and failure deep—until it erupts and wrecks their world. Having a place to speak the truth out loud, without judgment, changes everything. Brotherhood accelerates growth. When a man finally raises his hand and says, “That's me,” and another guy says, “Me too,” everything shifts. Accountability, encouragement, and honesty build strength faster than motivation ever will. Identity needs to be reclaimed—not outsourced. Men have spent generations defining themselves by their job, income, or output. Real identity is rooted in who you are, not what you produce. Until that truth lands, everything else feels unstable. You get one dash—write it with intention. Your life sits between two dates, and you decide what that middle line says. Clarity, confidence, peace, strength, purpose… those aren't accidents. They come from ownership, action, and refusing to drift another year.One truth: Most men know exactly where they're struggling… they're just waiting for permission to say it out loud.

Key Takeaways:Becca Shaw has been interested in spirituality, nature, and the esoteric since childhood, feeling like the "weird kid" who was very curious about the mysteries of life.After school, Becca traveled and eventually pursued training in holistic healing modalities like aromatherapy, wanting to help people.Becca emphasised the importance of self-care, self-love, and listening to your body's intuitive signals, which she feels many healers neglect in themselves.She uses tools like the Akashic Records and tuning into her gut/third eye intuition to guide her path.Becca believes that raising your own vibration and finding joy contributes to the collective consciousness, as it has a ripple effect on those around you.Her advice to her younger self would be to keep traveling, learning, and trusting her own power and abilities.Becca hopes her story will inspire others to embrace the journey of self-discovery and relearning to love themselves, even if it's a slow, intentional process.To learn more about Becca Shaw, click the website link below:https://linktr.ee/emberhealingLoved this episode?Don't forget to rate and subscribe to get all the latest episodes uploaded weekly*********************************************************❤️ Let's connect Start Your JOY Journey with my FREE gift to you: https://bit.ly/yourpassionistajourneystartshereDive deeper in one of my Passionista Programs: https://blissful-transformation.com/passionista-programs/Follow me:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thebethtaylor_/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/thebethtaylor13YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@thepassionatepioneerpodcastCOPYRIGHT APPLIES TO BETH TAYLOR @BLISSFUL-TRANSFORMATION.COM **********************************************************#thepassionatepioneer #passionmeetspurpose #motivating #inspiring #podcastforwomen #podcast #pioneer #motivation #inspiring #midlife #nextsteps #breakfreeofthematrix #breakfree #intuition #joy #fulfilledlife #spirituality #choices LEGAL DISCLAIMER:The views and opinions expressed by the guests on this show are their own and do not necessarily reflect those of The Passionate Pioneer or Beth Taylor.

Your Parenting Mojo - Respectful, research-based parenting ideas to help kids thrive
Do you ever feel like your parenting is completely off track from where you want it to be? You promise yourself you won't yell, then find yourself yelling at your kids before breakfast. You intend to be patient and present, but end up getting distracted by your phone, or snapping at your child. This disconnect between your parenting intentions and reality can leave you feeling guilty, ashamed, and afraid that you're passing on intergenerational trauma despite your best efforts. In this episode, we reveal the origins of our harsh inner critic and how cultural expectations set parents up for struggle. You'll discover practical reparenting techniques, step-by-step self-compassion exercises, and how recognizing your emotional triggers can transform your parenting journey. This isn't about perfect parenting - it's about healing your own childhood wounds through a process called reparenting, so you can break intergenerational patterns and build the connection with your child you've always wanted. Questions This Episode Will AnswerHow can I identify and manage my emotional triggers in parenting?Emotional triggers often originate from unhealed childhood experiences. Notice when you have outsized reactions to your child's behavior—these point to areas needing healing. The episode offers a self-compassion exercise to help you treat yourself with the same kindness that you treat others. Creating space between trigger and reaction allows you to respond intentionally rather than reactively. How does my inner critic affect my ability to parent effectively?Your inner critic—which is often a voice of your parent/caregiver—triggers shame spirals that make it harder to parent effectively. It damages your relationship with yourself and teaches your children to develop their own harsh inner critics. Through reparenting, you can recognize this voice isn't truly yours, but one you absorbed from your environment. Learning to quiet this voice creates space for authentic connection with your child and breaks intergenerational trauma patterns. What is reparenting and how can it help my relationship with my child?Reparenting is giving yourself what your parents couldn't provide during your childhood. It involves a five-step process: becoming aware of your patterns, accepting them without judgment, validating your childhood experiences, reframing your beliefs, and taking action to reinforce new patterns. When you heal your own emotional wounds through reparenting, you become more capable of meeting your child's needs without being triggered. How do I break intergenerational trauma patterns in my parenting?Breaking intergenerational trauma starts with awareness of the patterns you inherited. Practice self-compassion exercises when triggered rather than self-criticism. Use the reparenting process to heal your own childhood wounds. Find supportive community to help you recognize when old patterns emerge. Each time you respond differently to your child than your parents did to you, you're disrupting the cycle of intergenerational trauma. Can self-compassion exercises really help when I'm triggered with my kids?Yes, self-compassion exercises are powerful tools for managing parenting triggers. Dr. Susan Pollak's three-step self-compassion exercise can create the mental space needed to respond differently: acknowledge the difficulty ("This is hard"), remember your common humanity ("Other parents struggle with this too"), and offer yourself...

You can't do it all: How to work inside your zone of genius and let go of everything else Do you feel like you're in a constant juggling act in your business? When you're an entrepreneur, things are bound to be busy – and sure, feeling overwhelmed at times is something to be expected. But if you feel like you always have a million plates spinning in the air, then it's high time you start focusing on the things inside your zone of genius, and let go of all the other tasks that someone else can do for you. Passing the torch to an employee, a contractor or a VA can be really difficult, and I know this from personal experience. For ten full years, I insisted on editing my own videos. I thought that because I knew exactly what edits I wanted to make, I could do it quicker than anyone else could. Sure, I was ok at editing videos -- but it sure as heck was not the best use of my time. And when I finally hired someone to do this for me, I found that with a little training and investment on the front end, they were able to do it much more efficiently than I could – leaving me time to work on the things in my business that not only turn the needle, but light me up. In this episode, I share what it means to work inside your zone of genius, why that's important, and how to get back to it if you get lost. This is a great listen for any business owner who feels like they are literally doing it all -- so pop in your earpods and tune in. Here's a glance at this episode... [04:33] If you've ever felt overwhelmed in your business, I would suggest making a conscious effort to work more in your zone of genius. [05:11] Working in your zone of genius is doing the things that you are most proficient in. The work is fulfilling, because it makes you feel good. [06:02] An example of this for me is being on stage. I'm nervous at first, but at the end I feel energized and grounded. [07:34] If there are things that make you feel low energy or have a really low vibe, these may be the things that you might need to find some help with. You should also hire someone if they can do the same thing in half the time. [08:29] An example of this is when I used to edit all of my own course videos. Editing videos isn't in my zone of genius. I was making excuses, because I was scared. [11:35] Prioritizing your zone of genius comes down to getting clear on what the important areas of your business are. For me, it's launching my digital courses, my membership, and my podcast. [13:50] When you plan for the next year, sit down and journal and really discover where your zone of genius is. Check in every season and ask where my zone of genius is now. [15:19] Superwoman syndrome is where you feel like you need to do everything and don't want to slow down and take the time to teach. [15:49] A good leader refuses to spend time on tasks that aren't in their zone of genius. They find the right people to support them and take the time to onboard and teach them. [16:23] Take out your journal and jot down some areas where you're operating in your zone of genius and where you're operating outside of your zone of genius. DM me @AmyPorterfield.
