Have you ever said “yes” when everything inside of you wanted to say “no”? Maybe it was helping out when you were already stretched thin, or agreeing to avoid letting someone down. That guilty tug you feel afterward isn't proof you're selfish - it's often a sign you need healthier boundaries. In this episode, we'll discuss how to set boundaries without guilt, how Jesus modeled them, and how they can actually strengthen your relationships instead of straining them.

Trying to raise kids who have a genuinely healthy relationship with food and their bodies? Join Jennifer Reid, MD as she speaks with Oona Hanson, educator, writer and parent coach, about how much power parents have to nurture kids who trust their own hunger cues, enjoy movement for joy rather than punishment, and develop the kind of inner voice that supports rather than sabotages them throughout life.Understanding Diet CultureDiet culture isn't just about dieting—it's pervasive beliefs about food and bodies that we're systematically taught."It's the air we breathe. It's the water we're swimming in... We aren't born with these ideas [about good/bad foods]. These are something we're systematically taught through culture."Parent Guilt and Self-Compassion"Parents don't cause eating disorders and parents can actually be the most powerful source of support for recovery."About OonaOona Hanson is a writer, educator, and parent coach specializing in helping families navigate diet culture. She holds master's degrees in educational psychology and English, is a regular CNN contributor, and writes the "Parenting Without Diet Culture" newsletter.

In this candid conversation, Dr. Gillihan shares practical strategies for building sustainable mental health habits, explains why mindfulness and CBT work better together, and even opens up about his own parenting anxieties and recent psilocybin journey.Key PointsBuilding Daily Practices That Stick* Brief, consistent practices (40 words average) can create significant change* Focus on functional analysis: what's actually preventing the habit?* Small environmental changes (book placement, timing) matter more than willpowerCombining Mindfulness and CBT* Mindfulness addresses how our minds work (the process)* CBT addresses what our minds tell us (the content)* Together they create a more flexible relationship with thoughtsFacing Fear Through Values* Identify what you value more than your fear* Use values to guide action even when anxiety is present* Model courage for children by not avoiding what scares usKey QuotesOn making room for natural anxiety:"Of course, of course you're a parent. You're going to feel anxious about these things. And feeling anxious in and of itself is not a bad thing. It's not a problem that we have to get rid of."On the power of small daily practices:"If I can just remember that once a day, I think that that can be a big deal... the thoughts that my mind is telling me aren't necessarily true, and they're probably more helpful ways of looking at things."On self-compassion in mental health:"I think it's really one of the main things I want to do... it's just really wanting people to go easier on themselves, you know, like to not be overly critical of themselves and especially in the area of their own mental health."Daily Reset Strategies* Keep practices brief (1-2 sentences)* Focus on awareness and perspective shifts* Make the book/practice visible in your environment* Don't aim for perfection—consistency matters moreAbout Dr. Seth GillihanDr. Seth Gillihan is a licensed psychologist, host of the Think Act Be podcast, and author of multiple books on mindfulness and CBT.

Send us a textHi, it's Turo here. In this episode, I'm diving into something a little different: how culture shapes the way we eat, move, and think about health.Growing up in Finland, meals were quick, functional, and often tied to rules and restriction. Now living in Italy, I've experienced the complete opposite—meals as social events, daily movement built into life, and a guilt-free approach to enjoying food.I'll share the biggest lessons I've learned from both cultures, from how Italians stay active without “working out,” to why their relationship with pasta looks nothing like the diet culture mindset in Northern Europe.If you've ever struggled with guilt around food or felt like exercise was just a box to check, this episode will give you a fresh perspective on how to build sustainable, balanced habits—no matter where you live.

"You're supposed to be striving for more, but also be really pleased with what you've got... You're never supposed to be seen wanting. You're supposed to be just filled with gratitude for everything that you have, but also constantly trying." -Amy LaroccaListen in as Dr. Jennifer Reid chats with Amy Larocca, former New York Magazine fashion director and author of How to Be Well: Navigating Our Self-Care Epidemic, One Dubious Cure at a Time. Amy pulls back the curtain on how the wellness industry has become the new fashion industry—using the same aspirational marketing tactics to make women feel perpetually inadequate.If you've ever felt guilty for being "just fine" or pressured to optimize every aspect of your life, this episode is your permission slip to stop. Amy's journey from fashion journalism to wellness investigation reveals the dangerous messaging targeting women and offers a refreshing antidote to optimization culture.Key Quotes:On the pressure to optimize:"It feels irresponsible to be satisfied with fine... especially if you're a woman, it's like, okay, well, what about my family? Like, who am I, if I'm saying that's okay. Should be trying to optimize at all times."On the myth of returning to yourself:"The idea that the self is fixed...if I could piece together what this self that we're endlessly being sold promises...but it's not a sustainable idea of itself."On wellness as the new status symbol:"Fashion was becoming less exclusive, which meant people interested in aspiration had to find something more exclusive. And weirdly, it became health. Do you know this doctor? I have better health than you."On the core message:"I look at my daughters and I'm like, you don't have to improve anything. And all I would wish for them is to not waste that time thinking that they're not enough... you're so more than enough."About the Guest:Amy Larocca is an award-winning journalist who spent 20 years at New York Magazine as fashion director and editor at large. Her writing has appeared in The New York Times, Vogue, Town & Country, and The London Review of Books. She lives with her family in New York and North London. Her book How to Be Well: Navigating Our Self-Care Epidemic, One Dubious Cure at a Time, is a love letter to her daughters and all women caught in the optimization trap.Resources Mentioned:* The Invisible Kingdom: Reimagining Chronic Illness by Megan O'Rourke* "Welcome to the Menopause Gold Rush" (NYT article by Amy Larocca)Dr. Reid on Instagram: @jenreidmd and LinkedIn and her upcoming book, Guilt Free.Thanks for listening to The Reflective Mind and reading A Mind of Her Own!

I know I'm dating myself, but here goes… Back in the 1960's there was a television show called “Sea Hunt.”  The show centered around a free-lance scuba diver named Mike Nelson, played by Lloyd Bridges. Mike Nelson was a former Navy diver and a member of the Coast Guard Auxiliary. As a free-lance diver, he was hired for all kinds of dangerous underwater work, everything from salvaging precious cargo from wrecked ships to rescuing people trapped in caves. Each episode had dangerous situations and villains who were ready to slash the hoses on Mike's air tanks.  In nearly every episode, Mike would have to make a hasty ascent from the depths, which he would attempt to time carefully to avoid “the bends,” a potentially fatal condition more formally called decompression sickness. On occasion. Mike would have to spend time in a decompression chamber.  Watching this as a child, I was fascinated by the danger of too hasty a return to the surface. On the one hand, Mike would be running out of oxygen and would need to get back on the boat quickly. But on the other hand, making his return too quickly could prove fatal. Talk about a dilemma. Today's show is not about the bends, but it is about the possible downside, although not a potentially fatal one, of returning to your regular practice routine too quickly after your vacation. If you're like me, you may come back from vacation with your fingers itching to get back on the harp strings. If you run right to the harp however, you might find it more challenging or even frustrating than you expected. Broken strings and creaky fingers are annoying enough to deal with, but the real issue is that the pieces we were working on seem so far from where we left them. In my experience, diving right into your usual kind of practice can instantly deflate your post-vacation high. Instead of being able to keep that feeling of freshness, relaxation and renewal, you're right back into the practice grind you left. What's the fix? The good news is that we don't need a decompression chamber. All we need is the right mindset and a plan, and I have both of those for you today.

Divorce guilt can be overwhelming, especially when it's tangled with religious upbringing, family expectations, and concerns about your children. In this deeply personal episode, I open my heart about the guilt I carried after ending my 20-year marriage, particularly how my Mormon background shaped my beliefs that divorce wasn't a viable option and that I was jeopardizing eternal salvation by making this choice. My journey through guilt included what I call the "parental report card" – this imaginary scorecard where I believed my parents were tallying my life choices and finding me increasingly disappointing. I began seeing myself as "the black sheep" of the family, assuming my parents viewed my authentic choices with sadness and disgust. Despite feeling more connected to myself than ever before, this guilt continued to weigh heavily on me. The turning point came when I discovered a passage that helped me create a powerful reframe helping me create a much needed perspective shift helping me heal from the guilt stories I'd been carrying and embrace a new narrative about my choices and their meaning. Whether your divorce guilt stems from religious teachings, family expectations, or concern for your children, or something else, healing is possible. You can learn to unwind from these stories, forgive yourself for the inevitable pain that comes with major life transitions, and recognize that choosing authenticity isn't selfish – it's revolutionary. You are worthy of setting down the divorce guilt in all its forms and embracing your role as a seeker of liberation for yourself and future generations.To download your FREE GUIDE: "What to Expect When Divorcing: The Ultimate Guide to Dealing with the Emotional Rollercoaster of Divorce" click here.

In this revealing conversation, freelance journalist and former coach Linda Flanagan describes how youth sports have transformed from neighborhood fun into a $30 billion industry that's reshaping American families. Drawing from her book "Take Back the Game: How Money and Mania Are Ruining Kids' Sports and Why It Matters," Flanagan explores the cultural shifts since the 1970s that have turned children's athletics into high-stakes enterprises demanding extraordinary parental sacrifice.The Parental Pressure Paradox* Parents now spend an average of 202 minutes (over 3 hours) daily on their children's athletics* 36% of families reduce family vacations and struggle to save money due to sports expensesThe College Myth * Only 6-7% of high school athletes go on to play in college, and just 2% of these receive any athletic scholarship money.Red Flags to Watch For in Youth Sports* Family life revolving entirely around one child's sports schedule* Siblings feeling resentful or left behind* Parents' emotional wellbeing tied to their child's athletic performance* Pressure to specialize in one sport before adolescence* Sacrificing family relationships, activities, friendships, and personal interestsFlanagan's controversial but liberating advice: "Flee the bleachers at the middle school gym, skip the tournament at school across town, resuscitate your own interests and relationships instead."This isn't about not caring for your children—it's about showing them that:* Their activities belong to them, not you* Adult life has purpose and joy beyond child-serving* Independence and resilience are valuable life skills* Your wellbeing matters tooThe Bottom LineYouth sports can be wonderful for children when kept in proper perspective. The key is resisting cultural pressures that turn childhood athletics into family-consuming enterprises. By maintaining balance, protecting family relationships, and modeling fulfilling adult lives, parents can help their children enjoy sports without sacrificing everything else that makes life meaningful.Website: lindaflanaganauthor.comResources Mentioned* "Take Back the Game" by Linda Flanagan* Aspen Institute Sports and Society Program research* Beyond Stigma Documentary on Women in Collegiate SportsThanks for listening to The Reflective Mind Podcast and reading A Mind of Her Own!

Do you love your job—or just tolerate it for the paycheck? On today’s episode of The Jubal Show, we break down a new survey revealing Gen Z’s non-negotiable job perks… and they are not what you'd expect. From office plant budgets to flexible work hours and pet-friendly ping pong lounges, Gen Z is reshaping workplace culture. But are they onto something—or just allergic to hard work?

What if the key to a happier, more fulfilling life was something you did effortlessly as a child, but have almost forgotten as an adult? Meet Laura Haver, the author of "Play Together” who's on a mission to help families rediscover the transformative power of play. Dr. Jennifer Reid sits down with this happiness and play expert to uncover why so many of us have lost touch with joy, and more importantly, how to get it back.

By starting small, being intentional, and honoring both our own and our children's natural creativity, we can reclaim this essential pathway to joy and connection.* Laura's definition of play - "Play is an invitation to do something for yourself for the pure joy of it and play is a pathway to living a vibrant and fulfilling life"* Self-directed nature - One key aspect of play is "that it's self-led. You want to do it because you want to do it"Practical Tools Mentioned* Meditation and mindfulness: Body scan meditations for getting present* Gratitude practice: "Three new things that you're grateful for" each night to build gratitude muscle* Free playlist planner: Available to help adults remember what they enjoy doingRecommended Resources: Take Back the Game by Linda Flanagan1000 Hours Outside, founded by Ginny YurichLet Grow OrganizationLaura's Playlist PlannerAbout the GuestLaura Haver is on a mission to inspire people of all ages around the world to infuse their lives with play.

Many people think that Dr. Martin is against fruit, but he really isn't. He just doesn't want people living on it, and instead thinking of it as God's candy. When you understand what sugar does to the body you'll want to consume less of it. Dr. Martin looks at two health headlines concerning fruit consumption and sleep apnea. It turns out that fruit suppresses the hormone GLP-1, which controls appetite and satiety, and leaves you feeling hungrier.

In this powerful episode, CJ dives into Chapter 4 of his book Your Diet Fails: The Ultimate Cheat Code to Eating Out and Staying Fit. This chapter is a must-listen for anyone who's ever felt awkward saying no to dessert, pressured to “just have one drink,” or judged for trying to stay healthy while everyone else indulges.CJ reframes the way we think about social dining. It's not about restriction or being the odd one out. It's about taking ownership, showing up with calm confidence, and leading by example. You can enjoy your food and your people—without compromising your health.Key Takeaways:People don't react to what you eat—they react to how you make them feel about their own choices. Own yours calmly and you diffuse tension.Social pressure isn't a reason to cave—it's an opportunity to lead.You can indulge, but make it intentional, not accidental. Control the moment so it doesn't control you.Boundaries aren't rude—they're a form of self-respect. And you don't owe anyone an explanation for choosing what's right for you.Dining out is about more than food—it's about connection, presence, and experience.5 Things You Can Start Doing Today:Use confident language when saying no. Say, “I'm good, thanks,” and move on. No guilt, no debate.Prepare a go-to line for common pressure moments. Example: “I've got an early workout tomorrow, so I'm skipping drinks tonight.”Influence the group early by suggesting healthier shared dishes. Leadership beats resistance.Set your boundary before the meal begins. Decide in advance what you'll have and what you'll skip. Stick to it.Slow down and be present. Savor your food, engage in conversation, and appreciate the full dining experience—not just the plate.This episode is a practical, empowering blueprint for navigating meals without guilt or regret. You're not just making a choice—you're building a lifestyle.
