Internalized negative self-talk trapping ND lives? In this episode of Adulting with Autism, host April unpacks Complex PTSD/ADHD mental health with Karen Dwyer-Tesoriero, NYC/FL psychotherapist (25+ years social work/child welfare/intergenerational trauma/CPTSD expert). Using EMDR/IFS/Polyvagal/somatic therapies, Karen undoes limiting beliefs for authenticity/goals; life coaching for non-NY/FL via TikTok, plus parent support for emotional regulation. Key insights: Negative self-talk: Childhood messages (e.g., "lazy" from ADHD struggles) internalized—higher CPTSD risk in ND (adverse experiences like unmet needs). CPTSD vs. PTSD: Relational/micro-traumas (e.g., single-parent absences/narcissistic abuse) vs. single events (war/accidents); leads to anxiety/depression/avoidance. Polyvagal theory: Bottom-up body focus (window of tolerance/fight-flight-freeze/dorsal shutdown); regulate via sensations (e.g., neutral feet vs. chest tension)—ADHD/autism concrete (EMDR eye movement/tappers). EMDR for ND: Bilateral stimulation desensitizes trauma memories; evolving for autism/ADHD (virtual/no light bar); process emotions concretely ("what happened next?"). Rewriting stories: Narrative/motivational interviewing challenges origins ("is it true? strengths? passions?"); experiment authenticity (small steps like "hi" to vendor). Attachment styles: Healthy (communication/vulnerability); avoidant (infidelity/avoid intimacy); anxious (constant doubt/people-pleasing); disorganized (both)—ND rejection sensitivity amplifies. Addictions/substances: Beyond alcohol/drugs (food/shopping/exercise/secrets); red flags (hiding behaviors); regulate dopamine healthily (breaks/routines). Advocacy/relationships: Therapy fit crucial (ask trainings/referrals); healthy dating (experiment/vulnerability); parents model regulation to minimize messages. For autistic/ADHD young adults navigating independence/trauma, Karen's vibe: "You're not broken—rewrite for worth." Free resources at kdtesoriero.lcsw.net; email coffeewithkaren@gmail.com.

In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Cristina Castagnini sits down with Zoe Harwood to dismantle the dangerous myths surrounding the BMI and the concept of "clean eating." Zoe shares her personal journey from a professional dancer praised for her "discipline" to a woman battling severe Orthorexia—a condition often hidden behind a mask of health and wellness. They discuss how the medical community frequently overlooks eating disorders in individuals who sit within a "healthy" weight range, the toxic grip of social media algorithms, and the frightening reality of navigating pregnancy while fearing medical intervention. This conversation challenges the definition of health, proving that well-being is about far more than a number on a scale or the "purity" of the food on your plate.SHOW NOTES: Click hereFollow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/behind_the_bite Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Chips are a beloved snack, especially in regions like Texas. Although not all chips are created equal, focusing on healthy ingredients can make a significant difference. Key points include reading ingredient labels, prioritizing organic corn, avoiding seed oils like canola, soybean, and peanut oils which are linked to health issues, and ensuring no added sugars or only using natural sugars like brown sugar and cinnamon. Investing a bit more in healthier chips can lead to better digestion and overall well-being.

When your business success turns into a personal trap, what's the way out? In this episode, market research entrepreneur Colson Steber shares how committing to a bigger future, installing the right structure, and transforming his leadership turned an overworked owner into a focused, confident entrepreneur with a thriving, growth-focused team. Here's some of what you'll learn in this episode:What made Colson realize he's always been an entrepreneur.How Colson was stuck in a loop early in his career.How Colson got into a positive, healthy routine.What an entrepreneur gains from joining the Strategic Coach® community.  Show Notes: Every successful entrepreneur creates a powerful story about who they are and the future they're committed to. Real entrepreneurial growth starts when you commit to a bigger result long before you have the capability to achieve it. Courage is the bridge between commitment and capability, and it often lasts longer and feels harder than you expect. If you insist on being the central problem solver for everything, your successful company quickly becomes a trap. Installing a proven operating system like EOS® gives your company structure so you can stop doing everything yourself. The right structure turns a grinding, 70-hour-a-week survival business into a Self-Managing Company® that supports your life. Your Unique Ability® gains value as you narrow your focus and design the rest of the company around supporting it. Intense preparation and consistent routines let you show up exactly right in the rare moments where you create 50 percent of the value. Culture becomes an asset when your team members are gaining confidence, growing their skills, and actually enjoying their work. Healthy exits—where people move on to bigger futures with your support—are a sign your company is set up for freedom, not dependence. Entrepreneurial timelines are always aggressive, but beating the market still counts as winning even when it feels “too slow.” Every entrepreneur's story is unique. Strategic Coach gets you thinking about the right things at the right time.  Resources: The 4 C's Formula by Dan Sullivan EOS® The Self-Managing Company by Dan Sullivan What Free Days™ Are And How To Know When You Need Them Unique Ability®

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik sits down with Dr. Melanie Gray to talk about the hidden cost of being “fine on paper.” High performers. Caregivers. Leaders. People everyone leans on. The big idea is simple. If your nervous system is stuck in survival mode then your success starts feeling like burnout. Dr. Melanie breaks down how trauma responses can disguise themselves as personality traits like perfectionism, people pleasing, shutdown, and overcontrol. You will also hear her STOP-IT framework for moving from reaction to regulation. It is practical. It is leadership-ready. It is built for real life, not wellness fantasy. If you are trying to “fix everything” at once, this conversation will help you zoom out, scan what is working, tell yourself the truth, and make a clean pivot toward sustainable performance, better relationships, and calmer decision-making. About the Guest: Dr. Melanie Gray is a registered nurse, educator, and wellness strategist with 20+ years in healthcare leadership and higher education. She is known for her work in trauma-informed leadership, burnout prevention, and workplace wellness. She is the founder of Melanie Gray Solutions and the author of Regulate First, Lead Second: Master Your Biology, Transform Your Leadership. Key Takeaways: High functioning is not the same as healthy. If you are snapping at people, skipping family time, or feeling constant gut-level stress, your nervous system is waving a red flag. Separate identity from survival. Some behaviors helped you rise, but you still get to choose when to put the brakes on and pivot. Use the STOP-IT framework. Scan your whole life. Tell yourself the truth. Own your yes and no. Prioritize the pivot. Be intentional. Commit to transformation. In a stressful moment, regulate first. Breathe. Unclench. Move your body. Buy time. You do not owe instant responses to emails or people. Boundaries are leadership. You teach people how to treat you by what you tolerate and how quickly you react. Inventory beats hustle. Write down what stress is costing you in relationships, health, energy, and integrity. Then decide what you want to be known for. Empower your team. Stop being the bottleneck. Let smart people be smart. Collaboration reduces overwhelm and upgrades culture. Trauma-informed self-leadership at work means empathy, inclusion, and making space for quieter voices. Quiet does not mean less capable. A 7-day reset works. One STOP-IT moment daily. One small keystone habit. Consistency over perfection.

Host and American Family Farmer, Doug Stephan www.eastleighfarm.com shares the biggest news affecting family farmers, starting with the latest information on tariffs and how family farmers are being affected, government assistance set aside for farmers to be distributed between now and the end of February, and questioning why there is more money being made available to bail out farmers in Argentina than farmers in our own country.Next up, Doug covers statistical changes from the number of farms in America in the 1920s verses now, 100 years later. When you compare and combine that with the income of selling crops and how it's gone down since the COVID-19 pandemic, a significant drop over just 3 years. Lastly, Doug shifts into end-of-the-year thoughts and some ideas of finding gifts for your favorite farmer. Gifts that serve a purpose are always nice, like warm boots, slippers, snacks, funny farmer socks, and even a farmstead gift box. It's an enlightening and informative discussion you won't want to miss.  Website: AmericanFamilyFarmerShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks

This week on American Family Farmer, host Doug Stephan heads to the heart of the Cuyahoga Valley National Park in Peninsula, Ohio, to visit with George Haramis, fifth-generation owners of Heritage Farms.Founded in 1848, Heritage Farms has evolved alongside American agriculture—transforming over the generations from canal boat building to potatoes, dairy, beef cattle, and today, one of Northeast Ohio's most beloved Christmas tree farms. George shares how honoring family legacy while adapting to changing times has been key to the farm's longevity and success.Learn what sets Heritage Farms apart, from its iconic scenic location and wide variety of cut-your-own and fresh-cut Christmas trees, including Fraser Fir, Scotch Pine, White Pine, and Blue Spruce, to the high level of personal service that ensures every tree thrives long after it leaves the farm. George also explains why education is such a big part of their mission, teaching customers exactly how to care for their trees at home. Doug and George also discuss how Heritage Farms has expanded into a true destination experience, offering wreaths, greenery, ornaments, seasonal events like Pumpkin Pandemonium, and even on-farm stays through Airbnb and Hipcamp. From holiday traditions to agritourism, this episode highlights how one family farm continues to create meaningful memories nearly 175 years later.It's a conversation about stewardship, service, and the power of family farming to evolve while staying rooted in tradition.Learn more at HeritageFarms.com. Website: AmericanFamilyFarmerShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks

We're living amidst the greatest health scam in history. Find out about the biggest health industry scams shaping everything you do. Uncover the shocking health truth in this video!0:00 Introduction: the biggest health scam ever 0:36 What is food? 2:28 Dietary health misinformation 4:01 Medical fraud 6:01 Ultra-processed foods and disease7:03 More health fraud exposed9:55 Lancet Planetary Health Diet The most significant factor affecting chronic disease is food. Did you know there's a difference between the biological and legal definitions of food? The legal definition ignores biology, allowing literal poison to be marketed as food.Can you create health with ultra-processed food? No! It's not sustainable and doesn't repair tissues in the body. Healthy foods like red meat, saturated fats, and salt have been demonized. Food is often viewed only as a source of calories, making a glass of sugar water and a steak equal. “Balanced diets” are considered healthy, which further allows for the marketing of ultra-processed foods. Fraudulent health claims about food are just the tip of the iceberg. The definition of a drug is “anything intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent a disease.” By this definition, if broccoli can help prevent a disease, it's a drug. We know that the calories from ultra-processed foods are one of the primary drivers of chronic disease, yet there is no established definition for these foods. RFK Jr. is currently working to change this. The definition of disease has been broadened to include risk factors and pre-disease conditions as diseases. This allows doctors to treat more conditions with drugs. Even the definition of health has been changed to increase the demand for drugs!There's more. The Lancet Planetary Health Diet attempts to eliminate healthy animal-based foods and replace them with lab-grown meat, plant-based alternatives, and soy protein. It's argued that we must subsidize these unhealthy foods or people will starve, but why not subsidize real food and support smaller farmers who produce quality products? Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting. He is the Director of Dr. Berg Nutritionals and author of the best-selling book The Healthy Keto Plan. He no longer practices, but focuses on health education through social media.Disclaimer: Dr. Eric Berg received his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 1988.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS! Enjoy this re-release from Season 3 of Mayo Clinic Talks:   Host: Darryl S. Chutka M.D. Guest: Lisa Lammert, R.D.N., L.D.   Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death to individuals in the U.S. Many feel that our typical American diet with its high saturated fat content is a major contributor to this. There's good evidence that shows plant-based diets are cost-effective in lowering the risk factors for cardiovascular disease including obesity, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and diabetes. They may also lower the number of medications an individual needs to take to manage their chronic diseases. So, are there any disadvantages to a plant-based diet? Are all plant-based diets healthy and what are the nutritional challenges for a patient on a plant-based diet? We'll discuss these questions in this podcast on “Plant-Based Diets”. Our guest is Lisa Lammert, a registered dietician and nutritionist at the Mayo Clinic.   Connect with us and learn more here: https://ce.mayo.edu/online-education/content/mayo-clinic-podcasts

This is The Energy to Heal, your resource for all things Splankna, the faith-based inner healing modality that will help you achieve emotional freedom. In this episode, Laura Milliken sits down with licensed therapist Kendal Robertson for a grounded, hope-filled conversation about emotional health, trauma, and faith. Together, they explore how therapeutic wisdom and spiritual formation intersect, especially when working with individuals and families who have experienced deep emotional pain. Kendal brings years of clinical experience, pastoral insight, and a strong faith foundation to this discussion, offering clarity, compassion, and encouragement for listeners navigating their own emotional journeys. ✨ Key Takeaways: Emotional health is deeply influenced by both lived experience and spiritual formation Trauma impacts behavior, relationships, and nervous system regulation Therapy and faith are not in opposition—they can work together powerfully Long-term emotional change often happens through relationship, not quick fixes Faith provides meaning, hope, and grounding in the therapeutic process Healthy support systems are critical for families and children Purpose-driven work can be both demanding and deeply fulfilling

In this solo episode of Don't Waste the Chaos, Kerri Roberts, Christian business & HR consultant and founder of Salt & Light Advisors, opens up about a deeper tension many high-achieving Christians carry but rarely say out loud: when ambition, excellence, and drive cross the line from worship to idolatry. Drawing from her own story as a COO in the insurance industry, Kerri shares how private jets, big titles, and record-breaking performance still left her 50 pounds heavier, exhausted, bitter, and spiritually depleted.Kerri walks listeners through the difference between godly excellence and achievement-as-an-idol for anyone in leadership: employees, executives, entrepreneurs, and business owners. She unpacks the cultural pull toward workaholism and toxic productivity, where identity becomes fused to output and status, and pairs it with the biblical call to worship God alone, honor our limits, and receive Sabbath as a gift instead of a rule. Scriptures like Exodus 20:3 and Colossians 3:23 frame the conversation and help listeners recognize when work, money, or achievement has taken the functional place of God.Finally, Kerri offers six practical guardrails for faith-driven professionals who want to keep excellence but lose the bondage: redefining success beyond output, building real rhythms of rest, creating boundaries and delegation (including automations), seeking accountability and community, regularly checking motives and heart posture, and leading people instead of worshiping productivity. With honest stories about motherhood, job loss, identity, money guilt, and rebuilding her life and business with healthier rhythms, Kerri invites Christian leaders to pause, reflect, and choose one concrete step toward grace, balance, and true godly success.Key TakeawaysExcellence is biblical—but it's not your identity. Workaholism is a warning sign, not a virtue. Idolatry is often subtle and internal. Healthy excellence honors human limits. You can rewrite your relationship with work.  Sponsors & Ways to Work with Kerri1.

HOW TO MAKE YOUR SAVINGS WORK HARDER FROM BALTIMORE WASHINGTON FINANCIAL ADVISORS with Thad Ismart | CFP®, ChFEBC, CEPS  Senior Financial Planner About This Episode Saving money is only the first step. Learn how to make your savings work more efficiently toward your long-term financial goals. Full Description Saving money is an important habit, but where and how you save can make just as much of a difference as how much you set aside. Many people work hard to build savings, only to leave those dollars sitting idle or earning less than they could over time. In this episode of Healthy, Wealthy & Wise, the conversation focuses on how to make your savings work harder without taking unnecessary risks. The discussion explores common places people hold cash, such as checking accounts, traditional savings accounts, and short-term vehicles, and explains why some options may limit long-term progress when used incorrectly. Listeners will learn how aligning savings with specific goals can improve results. Emergency funds, near-term expenses, and long-term objectives all serve different purposes and should be treated differently. This episode highlights why a one-size-fits-all approach to saving often falls short and how thoughtful planning can help improve efficiency. The episode also addresses the impact of inflation on savings and why earning a return that keeps pace with rising costs matters over time. Small adjustments, such as reviewing account types, time horizons, and risk tolerance, can significantly influence outcomes without requiring drastic changes. Rather than chasing quick wins or complicated strategies, this discussion emphasizes clarity, discipline, and intentional decision-making. Making your savings work harder is not about doing more. It is about doing the right things with the money you already have.

You Don't Earn Being A Good Man (Part 2) We're talking about what actually happens in a man's life when he believes one story versus the other, how seeing yourself as good or broken shapes your reactions, your relationships, and the way you show up in the world." SECTION 1 — Identity Split (Good Man vs. Bad Man) When a man sees himself as GOOD: More present and grounded. Slower reactions. Empathy increases. Honest about emotions. Healthy boundaries. Accountability without collapse. Less numbing, more connection. Confidence without performing. When a man sees himself as BAD: Overreactions or shutdowns. Withdrawal, isolation. Harsh self-talk. Perfectionism or procrastination. More porn, alcohol, scrolling, workaholism. People-pleasing or controlling. Difficulty receiving love. Self-sabotage.     SECTION 2 — Personal Stories "My deeper story was…" "My statue was buried under…" A simple memory or scene that shaped your identity wound. A moment when you realized your goodness wasn't gone. Something another man in AMG said that hit you. A time you behaved badly because you believed you were bad.     SECTION 3 — Tools & Practices That Helped "My mistakes are moments, not my identity." Naming shame out loud so it loses power. Shifting from performance to presence. "I'm already good. Start from there." Getting affirmation from other grounded men. Telling the truth in a circle instead of hiding. Practicing receiving encouragement even when it feels uncomfortable. Simple grounding practices: breath, voice, slowing down.     SECTION 4 — Why This Matters for Family & Community Your kids mirror your identity more than your actions. Partners feel your groundedness. Men show up differently when they know they're good. Presence replaces defensiveness. Courage replaces avoidance. Integrity replaces performance. Leadership becomes relational, not controlling.     CLOSING — The AMG Identity Use these lines as talking points: Goodness is original, not earned. Mistakes are dirt, not identity. The statue has never gone anywhere. You don't "become" a good man — you remember you already were one. This is why AMG exists: men remember their identity together. Identity grows in circles, not isolation. And remember,  "You are a good man." We are not saying this as a reward that you have earned or trying to make you feel better, but as a reminder of your identity and how you want to show up for yourself, others, and our community.

Social anxiety is not a personality flaw, it is your nervous system doing its job a little too loudly.  In this episode, we reframe awkwardness and self-consciousness as signals of alert, not evidence that something is wrong with you. If holiday parties, crowded rooms, or feeling “on” leave you tense and overthinking, this conversation will help you understand what is actually happening in your body.  I walk you through seven gentle, practical tools designed to give your nervous system cues of safety so you can stay grounded and present. These are not mindset tricks or confidence hacks, they are body-based resets you can use in real time. You will learn how to quickly orient to the present moment, regulate your breath, and take micro breaks without disappearing.  We talk about why food or drinks often become a coping tool in social settings and how to expand your options without judgment or restriction. You will also learn how to prepare simple connection cues so conversations feel less draining.  This episode emphasizes choice, permission, and self-trust rather than forcing yourself to push through discomfort. Even using one of these tools can shift how safe your body feels. Confidence is not about being calm all the time, it is about knowing how to support yourself when you are activated.  If you want to feel more at ease socially without changing who you are, this episode is for you. Time Stamps: (3:07) Social Anxiety and Awkwardness (8:03) #1: The Name and Notice Reset (9:03) #2: The Anger Breath (9:55) #3: The Micro-Step Away (10:48) #4: The Connection Cue (13:30) #5: The Pocket Script (15:51) #6: The Sensory Grounder (19:58) #7: The Permission Slip---------------------Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

In this episode of the Wise Woman podcast, Erin Doppelt engages in a profound conversation with intuitive counselors Perry Zarrella and Lauren Chapman. They explore themes of intuition, manifestation, and the energetic connections we share with others. The discussion delves into personal experiences, the importance of the felt sense in manifestation, and techniques for reading eyes to understand deeper emotional states. The trio also reflects on the nonlinear nature of time and energy, emphasizing the significance of building healthy relationships through intuitive awareness. We also talk about cleansing energy, reconnecting with God, and how to become intuitive. Takeaways: Peri's near-death experience at seven amplified her intuitive abilities. Manifestation requires engaging the felt sense in our bodies. Reading eyes can reveal a person's emotional state and energy. Time is nonlinear, affecting how we perceive and manifest our desires. Healthy relationships are built on feeling seen and connected. Intuition can guide us in recognizing fulfilling relationships. Sensory experiences can help differentiate between positive and negative connections. The energy we project can influence our interactions with others. Understanding energetic patterns can enhance our intuitive practices. Sharing messages with a larger audience can feel safer than one-on-one interactions. Lauren Chapman is a therapeutic intuitive and the creator of The Embodied Sense. She has a deep passion for the healing power of intimacy with oneself, one another and the greater us. She has a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology & Biology, along with a Masters in Psychology, focusing on the mind body spirit connection. She is also completing a certificate in psychedelic assisted therapy. Lauren has a deep reverence for the interconnectedness of all things .https://theembodiedsense.org/ https://substack.com/@thoughtsontherapy Peri holds a Masters Degree in Clinical Psychology and Education from Columbia University, and an undergraduate degree in holistic psychology. Peri has been a Usui Reiki Master since she was an early teen and finds the most resonance when working at the intersection of energetics and mental health. Peri's lived experience with intuitive phenomenon, and sensory experience has supported her private practice working with people, to help them normalize, process and integrate their experiences. Peri was featured on an A&E series as a mentor supporting intuitive children.

Sign Up for Mostly Dry January--The DailyIn this episode of the Alcohol Minimalist podcast, Molly tackles a common end-of-year mindset trap: the “sin and repent” cycle. It's the idea that December is for overindulgence and January is for repentance—a pattern that often reinforces all-or-nothing thinking and keeps us stuck in old drinking habits.Through personal reflections and practical coaching, Molly unpacks the power of permission-giving thoughts like “It's the holidays, I deserve this” or “I'll get back on track in January.” These seemingly harmless ideas delay change, undermine self-trust, and reinforce avoidance patterns.But there's a better way—and it starts by practicing mindful thought shifts right now, not later. With her See, Soothe, Separate, Shift method and a science-backed approach to building new thought habits, Molly shows listeners how to move through the holiday season with more clarity, agency, and peace.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why the “I'll be good in January” mindset is not harmless—and how it reinforces habits you're trying to breakWhat permission-giving thoughts sound like and why they feel so rationalHow delaying behavior change until January trains your brain to avoid discomfortThe difference between self-compassion and excuse-makingHow to use the See, Soothe, Separate, Shift framework to rewire your thinking in real timeKey Quote“It's not a willpower problem—it's a pattern problem.

You can begin noticing and shifting thoughts right now—before the year ends.Ask yourself:Is this a self-compassionate thought?Or is it a permission-giving excuse?What's one small choice I can make today that aligns with who I'm becoming?Low risk drinking guidelines from the NIAAA:Healthy men under 65:No more than 4 drinks in one day and no more than 14 drinks per week.Healthy women (all ages) and healthy men 65 and older:No more than 3 drinks in one day and no more than 7 drinks per week.One drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor. So remember that a mixed drink or full glass of wine are probably more than one drink.Abstinence from alcoholAbstinence from alcohol is the best choice for people who take medication(s) that interact with alcohol, have health conditions that could be exacerbated by alcohol (e.g. liver disease), are pregnant or may become pregnant or have had a problem with alcohol or another substance in the past.Benefits of “low-risk” drinkingFollowing these guidelines reduces the risk of health problems such as cancer, liver disease, reduced immunity, ulcers, sleep problems, complications of existing conditions, and more. It also reduces the risk of depression, social problems, and difficulties at school or work. ★ Support this podcast ★

This week we're discussing Healthy vs. Unhealthy Relationships Healthy connection is something many solo parents long for, but most of us weren't given a clear model of what it looks like. Between past trauma, unhealthy relational patterns, and the fear of repeating old mistakes, it can feel confusing to know when a relationship is safe, sustainable, or simply too costly for our emotional wellbeing. Today's conversation with Licensed Professional Counselor, Laurie Lokey, matters because it gives practical ways to identify real health, real safety, and real growth within ourselves and in our relationships with others. Today, we cover three main points: What a healthy relationship actually feels like and why it always begins with the relationship you have with yourself. How to recognize red flags and green flags when dating or navigating close relationships. Why modeling health for your kids matters even if you are not dating at all. These pain points matter because many solo parents were never shown what healthy connection looks like. Without a clear blueprint, it is easy to mistrust our instincts, blame ourselves, or repeat familiar patterns that keep us stuck. By naming what feels confusing, learning how to recognize safety, and growing in self-awareness, we begin to build relationships that support healing instead of draining it. Laurie reminds us that healthy connection begins within. When we do our own work, we show up grounded, honest, and present. We stop performing. We stop shrinking. We stop blaming. That shift changes everything: how we date, how we communicate, and how our kids learn what love looks like. Even if we are not dating, our growth becomes a living amends to our children, showing them that it only takes one healthy parent to change a family's story.  Resources Mentioned In This Episode: Licensed Professional Counselor, Laurie Lokey Additional Resources:  Full Show Notes  Learn more about Solo Parent Follow us on Instagram

In this episode, I'm sharing six healthy lessons I wish I had learned earlier in life—truths that would have saved me years of frustration, emotional eating cycles, and self-blame. These lessons shaped my journey toward a healthier mind, body, and spirit, and they may gently shift yours, too. This episode is especially for anyone who feels worn down from trying harder and is ready to abide and yield to God's timing, to their body's signals, and to a healthier way forward. In this episode, you'll learn: 1. Health isn't about control—it's about stewardship Your body isn't something to punish or dominate. It's something to care for with wisdom, patience, and respect. 2. Emotional eating is information, not failure Cravings and overeating are often signals—pointing to unmet needs, stress, exhaustion, or unprocessed emotions. 3. Quick fixes cost more than they promise Extreme diets and shortcuts may offer speed, but they often disrupt hormones, peace, and long-term health. 4. Consistency matters more than intensity Small, faithful habits practiced over time create more change than bursts of perfection. 5. Rest is not laziness—it's medicine Healing and weight regulation require nervous system safety, sleep, and margin, not constant striving. 6. Spiritual health and physical health are deeply connected When your spirit is overwhelmed or disconnected, the body often follows. True health integrates faith, food, thoughts, and daily rhythms. Many of us were taught to fight our bodies instead of listening to them. These six lessons invite a new approach—one rooted in compassion, clarity, and long-term freedom. If you're in midlife, feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, or stuck in emotional eating patterns, this episode will meet you right where you are.

Can you have health or weight loss goals in recovery from food addiction, binge eating, or compulsive eating without being disordered?In this episode of the Food Freedom Podcast, Coach Mary breaks down a common and damaging myth in the recovery space: that wanting to change your body or improve your health automatically means you're slipping back into disordered thinking or diet culture.The truth is having health or aesthetic goals is not the problem. The real issue is how those goals are pursued and whether they support or sabotage your recovery.In this episode, you'll learn: • Why wanting weight loss or aesthetic goals does NOT mean you're failing at recovery • The critical difference between recovery-driven goals and diet-culture behavior • How to evaluate your health decisions through the lens of food sobriety • Why recovery must always come first and how goals can coexist without relapse • How to pursue strength, confidence, and better health without returning to obsession or restrictionIf you're in recovery from food addiction or emotional eating and feel conflicted about wanting to change your body, this episode will bring clarity, relief, and permission to move forward without compromising your freedom.Grab your copy of my FREE 9 page Beginner's Guide to Food Sobriety https://www.foodfreedomwithmary.com/foodsobrietyguideFood Freedom Online Course: https://www.foodfreedomwithmary.com/foodfreedomcourseFood Sobriety Mini Course -https://www.foodfreedomwithmary.com/foodsobrietymcWant to learn more about me and my coaching programs?

“Part of what I found were cultural norms that view the second half of life as being as important and even more important than the first half of life, in terms of what you can do for yourself and for society,“ said Ken Stern, in conversation with host Jane Trombley.Ken, author of Healthy to 100: How Strong Ties Lead to Long Lives (link in notes, below) explored the “culture of longevity” in Asia — Singapore, Korea, and Japan — as well as communities in Spain and Italy. An expression of those cultural norms, he noted, was found in Singapore, where “they view social connection and social health as being critical parts of public health,” with an emphasis on multigenerational housing predicated on the importance of family ties.  In Korea, he explored the cultural importance of lifelong learning, codified in the national constitution in 1990. In Japan, Ken found the creation of “ essentially a second work culture for older workers that's much less about prestige, and more about finding work that brings you into contact with other people.”Ken is a gifted storyteller, bringing each region to life in the context of what contributes to healthy and engaged aging — social connections built around housing, employment, lifelong learning, and a rich community life.  Links: Ken's most recent book: Healthy to 100: How Strong Social Ties Lead to Long Lives “I'm 62.
