Start Your Transformation Now  In this episode, Jim Fortin reveals the one thing you must release if you truly want more from life: your emotional baggage. From guilt and fear to shame and self-judgment, Jim breaks down why clinging to these old emotions keeps you stuck at “first base” in life—safe but stagnant. Through powerful metaphors, real coaching stories, and deep subconscious insights, Jim explains how to finally let go so you can receive what your soul is really asking for.  Jim dives into the neuroscience and energetics behind why we resist letting go—even when it costs us everything we want. You'll learn how we become emotionally enslaved by past events, why our brains trick us into choosing safety over growth, and how unresolved fears block the flow of abundance, joy, and personal power. If you've ever felt like you're doing the inner work but still stuck, this episode will help you understand why—and what to do next.  If you're ready to stop circling the same fears and finally step into more, this episode will show you how to drop the weight and open the door to transformation.  What You'll Discover in This Episode:  Why You Can't Keep One Foot on First Base (01:12) Jim introduces a powerful metaphor that illustrates why holding on to the past blocks new opportunities.  Nathan's Story: The Cost of Holding On (05:15) A coaching example that shows how unresolved shame and guilt can sabotage progress—no matter how much we say we want change.  The Furniture Metaphor: No Room for the New (11:40) Jim explains how holding on to emotional baggage leaves no space for new experiences or abundance.  How Your Fears Keep Circling Like Coyotes (24:45) A vivid story to help you see how fear continues to show up until you confront and conquer it.  Are You a Slave to Emotion? (22:30) Jim challenges listeners to consider whether their lives are being run by fear, shame, or the need for external validation.  Your Soul Is Waiting—Let It Out (20:30) A reminder that soulful living requires courage, not comfort—and that everything you want lies beyond fear.  Listen, apply, and enjoy!  Transformational Takeaway  You can't have more in life until you let go of what's weighing you down. Transformation isn't about gaining—it's about releasing. Fear, shame, guilt, and self-judgment don't define you—they delay you. Let go to let in. You were never meant to carry the past forever. The life you want is already waiting… if you have the courage to put down what's holding you back and reach for it.  Let's Connect:  Instagram | Facebook | YouTube | LinkedIn LIKED THE EPISODE?  If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.

Send us a textIf you're looking for a sonic palette cleanser from the mundane, Venamoris' new album To Cross or To Burn is the aural experience you didn't know you needed. Out now via Ipecac Recordings, the album is a seductive, shadowy, and soul-baring effort from the duo of Paula and Dave Lombardo. Yes, that Dave Lombardo—drum god behind Slayer, Mr. Bungle, Misfits, Dead Cross and countless other boundary-pushing projects. But this isn't thrash, metal, or hardcore. Instead, it's something far more intimate and atmospheric—part gothic lullaby, part cinematic fever dream, and entirely its own thing.Think: a darker, stranger Portishead raised on vintage synthesizers and heartbreak. And you're only halfway there.Venamoris, a name derived from the Latin vena amoris ("vein of love"), is a reflection of the real-life partnership between Dave and Paula Lombardo. The musical bond they've cultivated runs just as deep. Paula's roots include everything from backing up Las Vegas legends like Wayne Newton to chasing a singer-songwriter dream in Nashville. With this project, she brings a magnetic presence—equal parts elegance and eerie introspection—on vocals, piano, and synths. Every lyric feels lived-in; every melody, emotionally raw.Engineered and produced by Dave Lombardo, mixed by David A. Lombardo, and mastered by the acclaimed Golden Mastering team, To Cross or To Burn shimmers with sonic depth. Every note and nuance is deliberate, yet full of danger. The Lombardos handle all instrumentation themselves, with Paula on vocals and synths and Dave handling drums, guitars, and more.The album also features contributions from a formidable group of guest musicians, including:Trevor Dunn (Mr. Bungle, Tomahawk) – contrabass on “Stay With Me”Ra Diaz (Suicidal Tendencies, KORN) – bass on “Stain of Pain”Alex Skolnick (Testament) – guitar on “Stain of Pain” and “Burnt Paper”Gary Holt (Slayer, Exodus) – guitar on “Animal Magnetism”Each guest adds a unique brushstroke to the darkly emotional soundscape, enhancing but never overshadowing the central force: Paula's haunting voice and poetic songwriting.The album's opener, “Stay With Me,” is a cinematic dive into surrealist romance—starting in lo-fi crackle and ending in full digital immersion. "Holding On to Nothing" flexes Paula's lyrical teeth as she dissects betrayal with Ben Folds-style piano wrapped in Sabbath-inspired gloom.www.BetterHelp.com/TheBarnhttp://www.betterhelp.com/TheBarn http://www.betterhelp.com/TheBarnThis episode is sponsored by www.betterhelp.com/TheBarn and brought to you as always by The Barn Media Group.

Have you ever had a physical reaction to an emotion you feel? What about as a yoga teacher.. have you ever asked your students to “notice how you feel?”   Noticing how we feel and managing our emotions and the reactions to them in our physical body is part of the study of somatics.    This is part of what you'll learn about when you listen to my conversation with coach, author and podcast host, Laurie James.    Laurie shares her story as well as the work she does with clients, helping them to find more freedom, peace and joy in their lives.    We take time to relate the topic to teaching yoga too so if you're a teacher, you'll find quite a bit in this episode for you.    Here is more about Laurie:   Laurie James is a mother, divorcée, recovering caregiver turned author, somatic relationship coach, and podcaster. Laurie's podcast, Confessions of a Freebird, was inspired by her youngest of four children leaving the nest and is the sequel to her book, Sandwiched: A Memoir of Holding On and Letting Go.   Laurie's book is about her journey from loneliness to finding belonging during a time when she was raising four teenage daughters, her mother had a heart attack and needed care, all while her marriage began to crumble.   Now Laurie coaches' women in midlife. Through blending her somatic training into her coaching she helps women divorce, heal, and date differently so they can find the inner freedom to experience more happiness and joy and create the life they desire.   She primarily works with women who are going through a divorce and supports them through dating and beyond. She blends her coaching and somatic training to help her clients develop a better relationship with their bodies and nervous system. And to work through their unresolved past so they can find more freedom and love in all their relationships.   When she is not coaching clients or podcasting, she can be found nurturing her free spirit by walking her dog, skiing, sailing, hiking, spending time with close friends and partner or planning her next adventure.  Laurie has a free download you can get right now that will help you learn more about somatic healing techniques:   https://laurieejames.myflodesk.com/bgtsh   One more thing:   At the start of the episode, I shared a little bit with you about my new program, The Yoga Anatomy Accelerator.    You can watch a preview and if it's a good fit for you, enroll here:     https://barebonesyoga.thinkific.com/courses/Yoga-Anatomy-Accelerator  

What do you do when God feels silent? On Holy Saturday, we sit in the in-between — after the cross but before the resurrection. It's a day of silence, grief, and waiting.

When the miracle hasn't come yet, and hope seems buried, Silent Saturday reminds us that God is still at work — even in the tomb. If you're feeling stuck between prayer and breakthrough, this message is for you.

What if your emotions, behavioral patterns, and adaptability are formed in the womb?This is the conversation Cynthia Marks, host of the And Now, Love Podcast, and I explore.

This groundbreaking approach helps uncover and understand the unconscious emotional imprints formed early in life. We also discuss the importance of emotional healing and how our earliest life experiences, yes, in utero trauma, can shape how we engage with the world. In this episode, you will learn:What is imprinting in psychology and how it develops before birth.How the Freud theory of psychoanalysis laid the groundwork for understanding the unconscious mind. The ways trauma is stored in the body and passed down through generations.How dream analysis can help uncover the wounds that need healing.The difference between living authentically vs. patterns of survival.Practical ways to connect with your inner self to develop deeper self-awareness.The surprising connection between your nervous system and emotional patterns that may have persisted throughout your life.It's a unique conversation you won't want to miss!

Please leave me feedback. I cannot respond so if you'd like me to respond, please leave your emailWhat does it mean to be ‘the good daughter'?Being ‘the good daughter' is a role many people step into without even realizing it. If you find yourself constantly maintaining peace, prioritizing others' feelings over your own, and seeking your mother's approval, you may be experiencing ‘the good daughter syndrome.' Over time, this role can quietly wear you down, erode your mental well-being, sense of self, and energy to the point where you no longer recognize yourself.In this episode, I sit down with psychotherapist, author, daughter, and mother, Katherine Fabrizio, who coined the term "The Good Daughter Syndrome" and wrote an insightful book on the topic. In our conversation, she shares her experiences with her narcissistic mother and reflects on the moment she realized it was time to leave home and spread her wings. She also recounts stories of patients who have dealt with similar mothers with some exhibiting borderline personality disorder or an emotional immature parent. Together, we delve into the profound emotional impact of toxic mother-daughter relationships and explore what it means to be a daughter who feels compelled to "appease her mother," even at the cost of her own happiness.What you'll learn:The definition of “The Good Daughter Syndrome”Common signs that your mother may be narcissistic or have a borderline personality disorder.Signs that you may be experiencing “The Good Daughter Syndrome,” including people-pleasing behavior and childhood emotional neglect.How to set boundaries with a narcissistic mother.Why you might feel guilty about caring for a difficult or aging parent.The importance of repair in all relationships, including those with your children.How to begin healing from childhood trauma.This rich and compassionate conversation about mother-daughter dynamics, self-awareness, and finding freedom is a must-listen!!  So, grab your AirPods and take some time to listen to this important episode.Much love,LaurieFree GuidesClick here to schedule a FREE inquiry call with me.Click here to fill out my questionnaireClick here for my FREE “Beginner's Guide to Somatic Healing”Click here for my FREE Core Values ExerciseClick here to purchase my book: Sandwiched: A Memoir of Holding On and Letting GoWebsiteKatherine Fabrizio Website***************************************************************************************DISCLAIMER: THE COMMENTARY AND OPINIONS AVAILABLE ON THIS PODCAST ARE FOR INFORMATIONAL AND ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY AND NOT FOR THE PURPOSE OF PROVIDING LEGAL, MEDICAL OR PROFESSIONAL ADVICE.

You see a problem, but there's no solution. When that happens what do you do? Assume someone smarter and more experienced is already solving the problem. Or maybe your fear steps in and says, “Who am I to solve this problem?”But what if you are?In this episode, I have the pleasure to chat with Marie Newman, a former Congresswoman, activist, and author, who has built solutions from scratch time and time again. Whether it was advocating for bullying prevention, fighting for LGBTQ+ rights, or stepping into a midlife career change, Marie has never waited for someone else to create the change—she's built it from scratch! If you've ever wanted to make a difference, start a movement, or even go through a personal transformation, this episode is for you.Your takeaways from this episode:Why it's important to connect with the little voice inside that says, “Yes, this or no not that.”How to start a social movement when no one else is taking action.Overcoming imposter syndrome and how to take your first step.Why waiting for the “perfect” time to make a change might be holding you back.How Marie built a comprehensive bullying prevention program when no solutions existed.How the power of storytelling in advocacy can create real change NOW! How to embrace self-discovery and trust yourself when stepping into something new.Why fighting for LGBTQ+ rights and inclusion is more important than ever.How to take action in politics and activism, no matter what side of the aisle you are on.Marie's journey is proof that you don't need permission to build something that matters.

Healing isn't always pretty. It's messy, confusing, and sometimes it feels like you're completely lost.

Dell deChant Lyrics from “Letting Go of Holding On” by Richard Mekdeci & Mario Freidel:   “I let go of the feelings that feed on lack and greed. I let go of the reasons keeping me in need. I let go of the fear that there's never enough. And I stop holding on, to what is not love.   We breathe in, we breathe out. It's all give and take. They're one with each other, for all of goodness' sake.   The loaves and the fishes were blessed, then released and barely enough, turned into a feast …. I'm letting go of holding on, seeking first the kingdom of God.   I'm letting go of holding on. God is my Shepherd, I shall not want. I'm letting go of holding on. Seeking first the kingdom of God.

I cannot respond so if you'd like me to respond, please leave your emailThis time of year, the media feeds us the message that we should be relaxed, feel connected to others, and experience joy, but our relationships are complex. Trying to “do it all,” that can leave us feeling exhausted, angry, and resentful. When we take on the roles of planning, shopping, hosting, and managing everyone's emotions, it's so easy to put yourself last. I've experienced this many times, and it's not always pretty. In this episode, I'll share a recent “aha” moment that reminded me why taking care of yourself isn't selfish; it's essential. You'll learn:A simple mindset shift that can change how you show up for yourself and others.The sneaky ways stress may manifest in your body (and how to recognize it before it overwhelms you).A 4-step process to manage those overwhelming emotions so you can acknowledge them—without letting them take control.If you've been feeling the pressure of holiday overwhelm, this short episode invites you to slow down, even if it's just for five minutes to turn inward and process what you might be experiencing in order to manage the holidays and find a little joy in them. I'm keeping it real, and simple, and sharing practical somatic tools you can use right now.

Feelings are important, but navigating difficult ones is hard. What do we do with the complicated emotions that often arise in life? Feelings that we've been taught we shouldn't feel as Christians? A lot of us push them down and pretend they don't matter. Others of us get stuck in the pain. But the Bible suggest a better way: "Pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge" (Psalm 62:8). How do we do that? I'm so glad you asked! Anjuli's Paschall's book, Feel: A Collection of Liturgies Offering Hope for Every Complicated Emotion, has been such a gift to me. And I absolutely LOVE our tender and raw conversation. We were both in tears as we talked about the disappointments and hurts that we've faced. Anjuli assures us that rather than tidying up our emotions, we can be real and raw with God as well. Her book helps us Key Takeaways: Emotions aren't good or bad - they're simply part of being human. Rather than denying our emotions, they can be an indicator light for the places God wants to heal. God gives us permission to feel - for we serve an emotional God! We have a Savior who not only understands our feelings, He invites us to bring them to Him. We can be honest with God and ourselves - rather than being overwhelmed by emotions, we can curious as we process them with Jesus. For they often reveal what God wants to heal. This is such an important conversation, you guys. And this book could literally change your life. Stuffing and denying our emotions only makes them come out sideways in anxiety, depression and issues with our health. How much better to bring them all to Jesus. Anjuli's book helps us do just that!

We often hear that we need to be able to let go, let go of things like resentment, control, limited identity, and replaying that embarrassing episode from last year's Christmas party. But letting go wasn't covered in the curriculum at your grammar school, or middle school, or high school. So today we're going to talk about how to develop this skill. It takes practice and courage, but it is possible to learn.

Send us a textI was born in Glasgow, a city carved by raw grit and humor, think of Sir Alex Ferguson and Billy Connolly. Not far from there, I began my career in Edinburgh, a mere fifty miles geographically, but an infinite leap in atmosphere. Imagine stepping into an aristocratic investment house, its rooms brimming with the ghosts of ambition and refinement. Suddenly finding yourself in the domain of tall men in their dead fathers' ill-fitting trousers. Aristocrats in suits hemmed just above their ankles, like ghosts of a forgotten mod era.My first posting? The Japanese department, September 1990, nine months after the Nikkei's spectacular peak at 40,000. I was young, unseasoned, but one thing I knew for sure: Japanese stocks were d-e-f-i-n-i-t-e-l-y not going back up anytime soon. Check the audio tape…This week's show isn't about stock indices or investment attire. No, it's about a curious creature, the tunicate. You see, the tunicate begins its life as a free-swimming entity, darting about the ocean with purpose and curiosity. It seeks, it explores, its a happy soul. And then, it finds its chosen spot, burrows its head into the seafloor, and, get this, it eats its own brain. Why? Because it no longer needs it. The tunicate's life becomes rooted, passive, and fixed, content to filter nutrients from the passing current. A lobotomized existence, blissfully detached from the need for thought or movement.It got me thinking. Is this not the state of many investors today? Consider the lobotomized meme stockholder, basking in the unthinking glow of rising markets. They've eaten their metaphorical brains, trading curiosity and action for the comfort of passive returns. They're Holding On for Dear Life, foolish squirts I call them. Music or no music? You tell me.

It can be big and it can be small, yet many of us yearn for a roadmap to help us navigate through it.Society often provides us with steps, timelines, and catchy phrases like "time heals all wounds."

It's easy to feel alarmed when we read the headlines... Especially when it comes to the immigration crisis. Current estimates suggest over 100 million people have been forcibly displaced from their homes. Many of them desperate to enter the United States - legally or illegally - which causes many people a lot of concern. But what if we could balance the need for secure borders with compassion? What if we could engage with the crisis in a way that reflects the Christian values we cherish? In this episode of The Living Room, author and human dignity advocate, Bri Stensrud shares from her book, Start With Welcome: the Journey Toward a Confident and Compassionate Immigration Conversation. She gives practical tips on how to align your heart with God's heart for hurting people yet still advocate for secure and safe borders. Key Takeaways: Find Out What God Says: Let Scripture shape your view on immigrants and refugees. From Genesis to Revelation, God cares for all, including the vulnerable and outcast. Seek Connection Over Fear: We often fear people different than us. Get to know immigrants' personal stories, and discover the humanity that headlines often miss. Start Small, Start with Welcome: Making a difference doesn't require grand gestures; it begins with small, intentional acts of kindness that demonstrate God's love. Rather than getting caught up in politics and safeguarding "The American Way," let's open our eyes to the opportunities to love those around us. It was the tangible, yet practical love of God shown by Christians that changed the world 2000 years ago. And I believe that's how God wants to change the world today.

HEY REHABBERS: Episode Description: In this raw and real episode, we're diving deep into the ways we unknowingly hurt ourselves the most. Breaking your own heart isn't just about relationships—it's about the choices you make, the habits you hold on to, and the lies you tell yourself. Whether it's chasing validation, staying where you don't belong, or holding on to what's already gone, it's time to wake up and stop sabotaging your own peace. I'm sharing 5 hard truths about how you might be breaking your own heart and giving you the steps to stop.

If you're tired of feeling stuck, undervalued, or like life is passing you by, this episode will hit home. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Chasing Validation Why waiting for others to approve of you is a losing game. How to find your worth within and stop giving away your power. Holding On to What Hurts The pain of clinging to people, habits, or situations that are no longer serving you. How to let go, even when it feels impossible. Expecting You from Others Why people will never love, care, or show up the way you do—and that's okay. How to set boundaries and protect your energy. Staying Where You're Not Respected How tolerating disrespect slowly erodes your self-worth. The courage it takes to walk away and demand better. Waiting for Closure That Will Never Come Why you don't need their apology or explanation to heal. The power of choosing your own closure and moving forward.

Do you ever feel like your instincts are leading you down a different path than others in your field? Have you questioned whether your unique approach is “right” simply because it doesn't match the norm? In this episode of Leadership is Feminine, host Kris Plachy draws inspiration from a recent conversation with a client who, like so many trailblazing women, is choosing to follow her own vision in business—even when it means going against the grain. Diving into the realities of blazing your own trail, Kris captures the complexities of being a woman who doesn't conform to traditional expectations in her industry. She examines how trailblazing women often face doubt, rejection, and even isolation, as they make decisions that may look unconventional or “wrong” to others. Whether you're taking bold steps to create something new or stepping away from business practices that no longer serve you, this episode encourages you to honor your vision. Kris highlights that the journey of a trailblazer is filled with ups and downs—grappling with societal pressures, personal insecurities, and limiting beliefs. But she reminds us that this path, though challenging, is also incredibly rewarding. By standing firm in their choices, these women not only break barriers but also pave the way for others. In Kris's words, "The path of a trailblazing woman is to wrangle doubt and fear and rejection and jealousy and feeling ostracized.” Join Kris in celebrating the courage and resilience of trailblazing women. This episode is a reminder that you're not alone in following a vision others may not fully understand. If you've ever wondered whether you're “doing it wrong” simply because you're doing it differently, this episode will inspire you to keep going, to embrace your instincts, and to continue carving out a path that's uniquely yours. Key Takeaways From This Episode Definition of a Trailblazer and the Challenges They Face Personal Experiences and Observations: Kris shares personal experiences and what she has seen among her clients when it comes to stepping outside the norm.

Do you feel a gap between who you are and who you feel called to be? You're not alone. Many of us find ourselves caught in cycles of self-improvement and frustration, longing for transformation but feeling stuck. In this conversation with Christian psychologist, Dr. Merry Lin, she shares insights from Re-Becoming: Come Out of Hiding to Live as Your God-Given Essential Self offer a fresh perspective on breaking free from the patterns that hold us back. Key Takeaways: Transformation is a process: Lasting change isn't about quick fixes or external improvements but about allowing God to work a deep, inner healing.
