Podcasts about Hard Stuff

If you've ever said, “I want to change” — I want to stop drinking, I want to leave this job, I want to stop people-pleasing, I want to feel less stuck — but you keep waking up in the exact same life…this episode is for you. Sobriety isn't just about putting down the wine glass. It's about learning how to live like you actually give a damn about your one life — instead of living on autopilot, numbing out with alcohol, over-functioning for everyone else, and calling it “fine”. In this episode, I asked Andrea Owen, author of Live Like You Give a Damn: 25 Bold Moves to Get Honest, Face the Hard Stuff, and Show Up for Yourself, speaker, coach, and woman in long-term recovery, to share how to actually change your life, not just talk about it. Andrea and I dive into how to get unstuck, move through fear and shame, and show up for yourself in sobriety without numbing out with alcohol.

This episode is personal — and powerful.A recent situation with a close family member brought up a wave of unexpected hurt and confusion right as the holidays approached.What I didn't know at the time was that this moment would become a living, breathing example of healthy conflict, emotional empowerment, and generational pattern-breaking.Most of us grew up believing that conflict is something to avoid, smooth over, fix, or fear.But healthy conflict isn't chaos — it's clarity.And this experience revealed how quickly we can slip into the Drama Triangle (Victim, Rescuer, Persecutor)…and how consciously we can shift into the Empowerment Dynamic (Creator, Coach, Challenger).In this episode, I walk you through:*The moment of rupture with a close family member*What victim, rescuing, and persecutor thoughts sounded like in real time*How I recognized the pull into old patterns*Why conflict is a necessary ingredient in healthy relationships*What it looks like to process hurt without assigning blame*How I shifted into Creator, Coach, and Challenger energy*The surprising gift I found inside the discomfort*Why the holidays don't cause our stress — they reveal it*How this conflict became an unexpected mirror of my own growthThis isn't about perfection or staying “zen.”It's about staying honest, grounded, and self-responsible when the old patterns tug at you hardest.If you're navigating family dynamics, emotional triggers, or unexpected tension during the holidays, this episode will give you a new lens — one rooted in empowerment instead of reactivity.Key Insight:Healthy conflict isn't about winning or fixing.It's about allowing the relationship to hold the truth of both people — without abandoning yourself in the process.Reflection QuestionWhat uncomfortable moment in your life might be revealing something deeper beneath the surface?Resources & Support:HOLIDAY BREAKTHROUGH SESSION: https://www.dianesorensen.net/call- Special pricing is good only through Dec. 31, 2025.

Hey friends, Chase here This week I had back-to-back coaching calls with two different clients. One had the skillset but not the mindset. The other had the mindset but not the skillset. Different people, same roadblock — they were both stuck at the edge of their next level because they were avoiding the hard stuff. Here's the truth most people don't want to hear: You don't level up because you "get discovered." You level up because you build both your skillset and your mindset — and that requires doing the uncomfortable work you've been dodging. Skillset without mindset? You become the talented person who keeps getting passed over. Mindset without skillset? You're inspiring, but not shipping meaningful work. You need both. And the only way to build both is by leaning into hard things. In today's episode: The real difference between mindset and skillset (and why both matter equally) How avoiding difficult work quietly caps your potential The simple practice that makes doing hard things a habit, not a hurdle Enjoy — and remember: the hard thing you're avoiding is the key to your next level.

This episode explores gratitude from an entirely different angle. Not the surface-level gratitude we usually hear about, but the kind that comes from the hardest chapters of life. Kara walks you through the Hawkins Scale of Consciousness and explains how emotions carry vibrational frequencies that shape our experiences. Gratitude sits at the top of the scale, yet it is often born from the moments that break us open.Inside this episode, Kara shares the stories that changed her life. Being shut out by the cool kids in 5th grade. Divorcing in her early twenties and finding her voice. The heartbreak of miscarriage and the spiritual awakening that followed, being let go from a job she overperformed in, and how it pushed her into true alignment. And the freedom that came from coming out of the spiritual closet and releasing the fear of what people think.If you are craving a deeper understanding of why the most difficult seasons often shape the strongest versions of us, this episode will speak to your heart. Kara's stories show how gratitude can transform your vibration, expand your consciousness, and help you rise into the truest version of yourself.Explore more of Kara's resources, workshops, and intuitive tools here:karmicleader.com/resources

In this week's message from Isaiah 7, Pastor Thomas explores what it means to trust God when the plan doesn't make sense. King Ahaz faced enemies closing in and fear shaking his people, but God's message was simple: “Stand firm in your faith.” In the middle of chaos, God gave a strange sign—a promise that a virgin would give birth to a son called Emmanuel, God with us. Centuries later, that promise would point to Jesus. Through the story, Pastor Thomas reminds us that God is still at work even when the map looks foggy, when the world feels divided, and when life doesn't go to plan. This message is about faith, hope, and learning to trust that God's bigger story is unfolding—even when we can't see it yet.

You're listening to Voices of Your Village, and today I got to hang out with science journalist and author Melinda Wenner Moyer to talk about something that so many of us wrestle with-- how to talk to our kids about the hard stuff. From climate change to inequality, to violence in the news, it can feel overwhelming to know what to say, when to say it, or even if we should say anything at all. Melissa's book, How to Raise Kids who Aren't Assholes, gave so many parents tools for raising kind, thoughtful humans. And her new book, Hello, Cruel World! continues that work by helping us navigate these tricky conversations with clarity, honesty, and compassion. In this episode, we dive into how to avoid toxic positivity without overwhelming our kids, how to model emotional regulation while still being real, and how to raise resilient humans in a world that doesn't always make it easy. All right folks, let's dive in.

This is not another leadership conversation filled with trends or recycled advice. This is about the shift that happens when leaders stop performing and start leading with purpose.Dr. Aaron Marshall leads from the front. As a COO managing hundreds and a coach to founders and executive teams, he is trusted to guide the work that actually matters. He's not here to hand you a playbook. He's here to challenge the one that has kept you stuck.In this episode, we get into the conversations most leaders avoid. The ones that expose what's broken, rebuild what matters, and bring clarity when everything feels off. This is leadership without the mask. No performance. No filters. Just the real work of building trust and leading from strength.We dig into: What leaders are afraid to say and why silence kills trust How to catch culture breakdowns before they explode Why most leadership development is just polished armor What burnout really looks like behind the scenes How to move teams from polite and stuck to sharp and aligned Why clarity beats charisma every time The one challenge every stuck leader needs to face

We're closing out July with a conversation that so many entrepreneurs need, but rarely have. You know that thing in your business you keep pushing off? The task, the email, the decision you know matters but it keeps getting skipped? Yeah. That. In this week's solo episode, Monique is breaking down what avoidance actually looks like, why it shows up, and how to gently face the hard stuff without guilt or overwhelm. Because the truth is, your business can't grow if you're stuck dancing around the things that need your attention. And contrary to what hustle culture says, progress isn't just about doing more. It's about being honest about what's holding you back. Whether you're in a season of stillness, stagnation, or quiet rebuilding, this episode will help you reset, refocus, and make room for real momentum. DURING THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN: What avoidance actually looks like in business (and how it disguises itself as “being busy”) Why avoidance doesn't mean you're unmotivated and how it often stems from protection The key difference between stillness and stagnation (and why naming your season matters) Practical steps to start facing the hard stuff without spiraling How to gently rebuild your momentum, one task at a time Thank you so much for listening!

This week I'm joined by Tanya Gallagher, MD and founder of Limitless Leadership, an award-winning leadership development consultancy. Tanya brings a wealth of wisdom to the space of leadership development, and what stood out to me most in our conversation is just how practical and human her definition of extra-Ordinary leadership is.We dig into the difference between good, bad, and terrible leadership, and what it really means to take ownership. It's a conversation that will shift how you see your role as a leader. We discuss psychological safety, promotion dynamics, and the underrated power of what Tanya calls “contracting conversations”—those small yet powerful exchanges that can transform working relationships.If you've ever avoided a conversation because it felt awkward, if you've ever felt resentment building under the surface, or if you're leading people without ever asking what they need from you, this episode is for you.

In today's episode, I share the lessons that only failure can teach, starting with the pressure to succeed in a household where doctor, lawyer, or failure were the only options. I break down how losing over $100 million forced me to rethink everything—from chasing validation to reclaiming the meaning of success. I talk about loving what you don't like, using faith when there's no evidence, and choosing commitment when 98% of people would quit. From food stamps to fake wealth, from overselling to owning the truth, this is about the cheat codes that come from facing discomfort head-on and remembering who you really are.

Psychologist Dr. Marisa G. Franco, author of the book Platonic: How The Science of Attachment Can Help You Make—and Keep—Friends talks about how to navigate honest conversations with friends from setting boundaries to expressing hurt, and offers advice on handling conflict with care. Listeners share their stories and ask questions about having difficult conversations about friendship.

Today, I’m sitting down with Dr. Richard Tedeschi, he's the bloke who literally coined the term post-traumatic growth, and ya'll know that's a massive part of what this show is all about! We’re pulling apart what resilience really means (and what it definitely doesn’t), why the ‘just do more hard things’ mantra can actually miss the point, and how sometimes what looks like strength is just unprocessed survival mode. We talk about why real growth usually kicks off when life punches you square in the face... and how it’s the people around you (not the size of the fight) that can change everything.From navigating trauma, grief and burnout to finding purpose and connection this one’s a ripping listen for anyone who's ever been stuck, struggling, or simply ready to step-up from the battleground.

This week Josh sits down and talks New Years Resolutions, young dogs, and what is in store for 2025

Settle in, listeners. Jen and Amy have invited Greek and New Testament professor and scholar, Reverend Dr. Angela N. Parker to the show to reflect on the Advent season with some words of hope and liberation. She took our butts to seminary, opening our eyes to what it looks like when you examine the scripture through the lens of womanist theology and the experiences of Black women. But as Dr. Parker tells us, “I've lived long enough to know that God will bring me through but sometimes it's hard and sometimes it hurts. But even after the hurt, the tender spots get more resilient.” There's so much to unpack in this one. Jen and Amy discuss their favorite Christmas movies and debate whether classics like Gremlins and Die Hard fit the genre  Dr. Parker explains how liberation is a collective journey, not an individual one – and how everyone, including white men, can need it. We learn how understanding the historical context of scripture is vital for its interpretation. And we also talk about some of the holiday hullabaloo we're ready to Bless and Release this season. *** Thought-provoking Quotes: “If I'm liberated, I don't want to be liberated alone.” – Dr. Angela N. Parker “We don't want to think about the early church being enslavers.” – Dr. Angela N. Parker “If our biblical text is wrestling with the idea of empire from Genesis to Revelation, we are wrestling with empire as well.” –– Dr. Angela N. Parker “When we work as a collective, we actually do better to transform society.” – Dr. Angela N. Parker “The tree at the end of Revelation 21 has the leaves for the healing of all the “Ethnae”, for all the ethnicities, for all the nations. That's what John the Revelator sees in his final vision.” – Dr. Angela N. Parker “In my own work, I talk about how I try to even get whiteness out of me. Even as an African American woman born and raised in these United States, there are elements of whiteness that are in me, on me and a part of me. That's just what we swim in.” – Dr. Angela N. Parker “Hope breaks forth in the midst of terror, fear, and overwhelm. It's normal to have [those feelings]. Don't trick yourself into ignoring them. It's best for us to acknowledge what is going on around us but to remember that hope breaks through.” – Dr. Angela N. Parker “I've lived long enough to know that God will bring me through but sometimes it's still hard and sometimes it still hurts. But even after the hurt, the tender spots get more resilient.” – Dr. Angela N.
