Who are you once your career title no longer defines you?The team meetings. The decades of being known by peers, subordinates, and bosses who knew the old you. The social interaction and the productivity you're wired for.Like a lot of midlife women and men, you've built the career, raised the kids, and been the one everyone counts on — and now the role that organized your days is ending. You expected relief. What showed up instead was excitement, grief, and fear, all at once.All three are valid. But left unexamined, they can keep you stuck. The identity crisis that follows a midlife career change is what happens when the thing holding it together ends — and the fear underneath it rarely survives a close look.Today I'm joined by Johanna Danaher — mindset, life, and leadership coach, founder of Anchor to Aspire, and former senior director of career growth at Pfizer after more than two decades in HR.We take the excitement, the grief, and the fear one at a time, and get into nervous system regulation, asking for help, and how to stop people-pleasing once you can see where the habit started.In this episode, you'll learn:The three feelings that arrived at once when Johanna left Pfizer — and what each one asked of herWhy grief after a long career has no timeline and can't be scheduled awayHow she memorialized 25 years of work so she could finally set it downWhat she wrote about first, and the second question that made the exercise usefulThe specific fear underneath her midlife transition, and why failure had nothing to do with itHow the body reads uncertainty as danger — and what you can do to recognize it and move through itThe two-part practice for when fear shows up physicallyHow helper energy turns into people-pleasing, and the one shift that keeps it from becoming burnoutThe new perspective on "you can't pour from an empty cup" that stopped Johanna mid-sentenceThe one question you need to answer to redefine success on your own termsWhether you're a year into a midlife reinvention, or still inside the role and already wondering who you'll be without it — this conversation gives you a way to hold the grief, the fear, and the excitement all at once.Much love and freedom,LaurieFree ResourcesClick here to schedule a FREE inquiry call with me.Click here for my FREE “Beginner's Guide to Somatic Healing”Click here for my FREE Core Values ExerciseWant to try somatic work for free?

What do you do when you know something needs to end, but you can't quite let go? This episode gives you the psychological science behind why endings are so hard, plus a six-step practice for moving through them with more ease. Drawing on the concept of the "action crisis" — that push-pull of doubt, confusion, and rumination we feel when we're clinging to something past its time — Diana walks through what she learned by ending something in her life, and the concrete steps that helped her let go and begin again.Listen and Learn:Why endings feel so hard — and the four signs you're stuck in an "action crisis"A six-step practice for letting go: from "so be it, and so it is" to honoring what continues, to giving yourself permission to begin anewWhy getting the "kitten" doesn't mean replacing the "cat" — and why that's okayHow a simple ritual can turn a hard ending into an honored oneListen to the full episode now — and if you're moving through an ending of your own, share it with someone who needs the reminder that beginnings always follow.Related ResourcesGet enhanced show notes for this episode>>>Join Diana live September 24 for a free Word of the Week talk and meditation

We explore breath as a practical healing tool for Long Covid and ME/CFS, especially when breathlessness, air hunger, or panic keeps the body stuck in survival mode. I share why “appropriate breathwork” is gentle, flexible, and powerful enough to support both recovery and everyday health. • Why breathing patterns change during illness and can stay dysfunctional afterwards • The vicious cycle where breath discomfort signals danger and escalates symptoms • How better breathing supports efficiency and frees energy for healing and life • Nervous system regulation through functional breathing and micro moments of safety • Why a one-size-fits-all protocol can backfire and what “meet yourself where you are” looks like • What to avoid in recovery, including deliberate hyperventilation and breath holds • Easing into practices, adjusting dose, and using breath to support pacing and emotions • Resources for safe breathwork including courses, blogs, videos, and Insight Timer tracks Links: Breathing for Long Covid & ME/CFS breathing courses: www.LongCovidBreathing.com Breathing blogs: https://longcovidbreathing.com/blogs Breathe with me on Insight Timer: https://insig.ht/mqSr1s0245b (or search "Jackie Baxter" on the appMore info about working with me: www.JackiesRecoveryRoom.com/WorkWithMe Message me!

"Am I creating from a place of expansion or just overextending myself?"   What if growing your business did not require you to abandon yourself in the process? In this episode, we explore the important difference between healthy expansion and overextension—and why more effort, more availability, and more pushing are not always the path to meaningful success.   This is a conversation for intuitive women, spiritual entrepreneurs, and leaders who are ready to create a bigger impact without disconnecting from their own needs, desires, or nervous system.   We dive into how creating from desire rather than desperation changes the energy behind your work. Through the lens of embodiment, nervous system regulation, and Human Design, you'll be invited to consider a more aligned way of leading, creating, making decisions, and being visible in your business.   You do not have to follow someone else's playbook to build something beautiful, sustainable, and deeply your own.   Key Takeaways: Learn how to recognize the difference between expansion and overextension. Explore why urgency can pull you out of embodied, meaningful creation. Discover how desire-led creation supports more authentic visibility and leadership. Work With Andrea:   1:1 Aligned Coaching: If you are ready to lead, create, and make decisions from a place of deeper self-trust, 1:1 Aligned Coaching (12 week program) offers a supportive space to untangle old patterns and build a life and business that feel more like you.   Soul Aligned Reading: A Soul Aligned Reading is a personalized Human Design experience to help you understand your energy, authority, nervous system needs, and natural way of creating. You'll receive tailored insights, an audio reflection, and space to integrate what is true for you.   Connect With Andrea:   Website: https://www.andreacrisp.ca/offers   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/andreacrispcoach   Insight Timer: https://insighttimer.com/andreacrispcoach   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheSoulAlignedPodcast   Soul Reflection:   Where in your life or business are you being asked to expand—and where might you be overextending yourself because you believe you have to?   Original Music and Production By Stephen Crilly.

The Enlightened Family Business Podcast Ep. 168: You Can't Change What You Can't Be With — A Conversation with David Young   In this episode of the Enlightened Family Business Podcast, host Chris Yonker sits down with David Young — somatic experiencing practitioner, collective trauma healer, co-executive director at Somatic Experiencing International, and founder of The Art of Collective Integration — for a wide-ranging conversation on one of the most underexplored dimensions of human development: why intelligent, well-educated people keep repeating patterns that hurt them, and what it actually takes to change. David brings a remarkable lineage to this work — the son of an African American former Black Panther-turned-missionary and a Taiwanese mother, trained in intelligence analysis, East Asian philosophy, pastoral ministry, and somatic psychology. Together Chris and David explore why transformation isn't a cognitive event but a full-body physiological experience; why self-help books give us the cherry on top without the cake underneath; the difference between cultivating performance and cultivating wisdom; how the nervous system holds patterns that fire faster than the speed of thought; why anxiety in the rising generation is best met with co-regulation before analysis; what resilience actually means and why it's the highway to both personal and collective change; and what it looks like to raise a generation that can hold the complexity of a volatile, uncertain, rapidly accelerating world. This is a conversation for anyone who has ever wondered why knowing better doesn't always lead to doing better.

As a collective trauma integration facilitator, certified mindfulness meditation teacher, and executive coach, David supports communities and organizations through critical transitions — helping them heal from collective trauma, navigate complexity, and enable healthy communication in polarized environments. With 20+ years of experience in leadership development, systems change, and trauma-informed consulting, David brings a unique approach that integrates somatic awareness, collective intelligence, and wisdom traditions to foster resilient, adaptive organizations. He has designed and facilitated large-scale leadership retreats and community healing initiatives in over 30 cities across the US and Europe, focusing on intergenerational leadership, cultural resilience, and conflict transformation. He is also a co-creator and co-facilitator of Attuned: Becoming Trauma Informed & Trauma Responsive in Professional Settings (accredited by the Law Society of Ontario) and The Leadership Dojo, an eight-week practice-based facilitation training.

This episode gives you concrete, science-backed practices for answering that question and reclaiming the life you actually want.

Have you been in a misogynistic relationship for years without ever naming it?You might have called it a difficult marriage, a controlling husband, a spiteful partner or "just a complicated dynamic." Maybe you're only now able to say the word misogyny out loud. If so, this episode is for you.What most people don't realize is that the recent rise in misogyny didn't start with an election or a headline. Researchers tracked the pattern building for nearly two years before it reached the mainstream — quietly moving into ordinary marriages long before anyone had a name for it.In this solo episode, I walk through the rise in misogyny, why your nervous system chooses the partners it chooses, and the specific steps that support healing afterward.You'll learn:Why the rise in misogyny didn't start with a headline — and how long researchers tracked the pattern before it went mainstreamHow childhood trauma and old attachment wounds teach your nervous system what to accept in a partner, long before you ever meet themHow early conditioning determines who you choose as a partnerWhat happens in your body during the fawn response — and why it develops as a survival strategyHow psychological abuse predicts PTSD more often than physical abuse, based on the researchWhy boundary setting can start with something as small as rescheduling a dinner when you're tiredHow body awareness practices — a hand on your chest, noticing your feet on the floor — help regulate the nervous system after it activatesWhat parts work, or Internal Family Systems, reveals about the specific roles different parts of you took on to keep you safeThe difference between your essential self and your social self, and how to find your way back to who you were meant to beHow self-trust rebuilds through small, repeated actions — like saying a true statement in a low-stakes conversationIf you're looking for more self-trust, want to find your essential self, or are working through trauma and divorce recovery, this conversation walks you through the rise in misogyny, why you chose the partner you chose, and what it takes to heal — starting with your own nervous system.Much love and freedom,LaurieFree ResourcesClick here to schedule a FREE inquiry call with me.Click here for my FREE “Beginner's Guide to Somatic Healing”Click here for my FREE Core Values ExerciseWant to try somatic work for free?

Your brain may be protecting you from the very success you want.What if hesitation isn't a lack of ambition? What if overthinking, perfectionism, fear of visibility, and self-sabotage are old survival patterns running automatically? And what if changing the behavior isn't enough because behavior is only the final step in the pattern?Master Coach and “Millionaire Activator” Suzanne Longstreet says the subconscious mind is wired to keep us safe, not necessarily to help us grow. When an opportunity involving greater success, money, leadership, or visibility activates an old belief, the brain may interpret growth as a threat and trigger fear before we consciously understand what is happening.Suzanne Longstreet is the creator of Quantum YOU Activation and the bestselling author of The Millionaire Brain and co-author of The Millionaire Codes. She helps high-achieving women identify and eliminate the subconscious resistance disrupting their decisions, execution, visibility, and income.Suzanne explains the sequence: an external trigger activates an internal message, the message creates an emotional response, and the emotion drives behavior. To create lasting change, she says we must identify the trigger, uncover the hidden belief, and rewire the pattern beneath the reaction.Suzanne traces one of her own limiting beliefs about money to age four or five. After proudly announcing that the 100 pennies in her hand made $100, her mother laughed and corrected her. Although her mother meant no harm, Suzanne internalized a very different message: I don't understand money. That childhood moment quietly followed her into adulthood and business.After years of struggling to build her coaching practice, Suzanne discovered neuro-linguistic programming, hypnosis, and advanced cognitive techniques.

Being seen can feel deeply vulnerable for highly sensitive people.Whether you are sharing an honest thought, setting a boundary, expressing a need, sharing something creative, or letting more of your true self be known, visibility can bring up anxiety, self-doubt, overthinking, and fear of judgment.In this episode we explore why visibility can feel so activating for highly sensitive people, because being seen often touches old fears of rejection, criticism, misunderstanding, or not feeling safe to be fully yourself.You'll learn the difference between exposure and supported visibility, and why self-expression does not have to mean pushing past your limits or overwhelming your nervous system.This episode offers a grounded approach to visibility as a nervous system stretch - something you can practice in small, supported ways rather than forcing yourself into the biggest, scariest version of being seen.You'll explore questions like:What am I protecting myself from?Is this fear trying to protect me from real danger, or from the vulnerability of being known?What is one small, supported way I could let more of myself be seen?What would help my nervous system feel supported before, during, or after that step?If you are a highly sensitive person, empath, introvert, deep feeler, creative person, or someone who struggles with visibility anxiety, fear of judgment, people-pleasing, self-expression, over-explaining, or hiding your true self, this episode will help you understand your fear with compassion and begin practicing small moments of honest expression.You do not have to become fearless in order to be brave.Inside Rooted Resilience, we practice this kind of supported growth in gentle, practical ways.Rooted Resilience is my monthly membership for highly sensitive people who want nervous system support, emotional resilience, mindfulness practices, and tools they can actually use in daily life.It is a space to learn how to come back to yourself in real moments: when you feel overwhelmed, overstimulated, emotionally stretched, afraid to speak honestly, or unsure how to honor your sensitivity without making your life smaller.You can learn more about Rooted Resilience here:https://yogiranger.com/rooted-resilienceYou may also enjoy these Insight Timer practices:Yoga Nidra for Nervous System Reset & Deep Rest:https://insighttimer.com/yogiranger/guided-meditations/yoga-nidra-for-nervous-system-reset-deep-rest_1You Are Already Enough: A Deep Reset For Self-Worth https://insighttimer.com/yogiranger/guided-meditations/you-are-already-enough-a-deep-reset-for-self-worth New to the podcast?

Have you spent years — maybe decades — building a yoga practice or physical discipline, only to reach a point where your body simply won't cooperate the way it used to?If the one thing that once grounded you, defined you, and kept you regulated is starting to slip away — this episode is going to meet you exactly where you are.My guest is Harmony Slater — one of fewer than 20 people in the world to hold the highest level Ashtanga yoga certification, earned through 15 years of immersive training in India. A certified mastery coach and breathwork trainer, Harmony has spent over 25 years helping women navigate midlife transitions, identity shifts, and the particular grief that comes when the body you've relied on starts to change.In this conversation we go deep on why the intense physical practices so many women depend on eventually stop working — and what becomes possible when they do. We explore how the nervous system learns to stay regulated under stress, why body awareness matters more than any pose you can hold, and why the present moment is the only place real choice actually lives.This one is for the high achievers, the disciplined movers, the women who built their identity around what their bodies could do — and who are now being asked to find themselves somewhere new.In this episode, you'll learn:Why your yoga practice was always about more than flexibility — and how it was quietly training your nervous system to stay regulated under discomfortWhat happens to your sense of self when the body you've relied on for control and accomplishment stops responding the way it used toThe difference between living as a human being versus a human doing — and why high achievers struggle most with this shiftWhy your thoughts aren't where you'll find the truth — and why Harmony points you to the heart and body insteadHow midlife women return to nervous system regulation without an hour and a half on the matA hand-on-heart breathing exercise you can try while you listen — a gentle way to feel into your own body awareness right nowWhy the present moment is the only place you can make a real choice — and how tracking breath and sensation gets you thereHow a two-minute breathing practice can bring your nervous system back into regulation on even the hardest daysWhat coming home to yourself actually asks of you — and why it's simpler than you thinkWhether your yoga practice, running routine, or physical identity is falling away in midlife — this conversation gives you something more portable and more permanent than any pose: a way back to yourself through breath, body, and the quiet wisdom of the present moment.Much love and freedom,LaurieFree ResourcesClick here to schedule a FREE inquiry call with me.Click here for my FREE “Beginner's Guide to Somatic Healing”Click here for my FREE Core Values ExerciseWant to try somatic work for free?

What happens when you love your partner, have a strong relationship, and genuinely enjoy your life together—but the sexual chemistry just isn't there anymore?Losing desire doesn't necessarily mean you've fallen out of love. Sometimes, what's missing is polarity—the energetic charge created when two people are connected without becoming so blended that there's no longer any space, mystery, or tension between them.In this candid conversation, JJ Flizanes and Doug Sandler are joined by sex and relationship expert Dr. Jane Guyn to explore what creates sexual polarity, why it can disappear in long-term relationships, and what couples can do to begin bringing attraction, desire, and playfulness back.Dr. Jane explains that when couples become completely merged—doing everything together, knowing everything about each other, and functioning almost as one unit—it can become difficult to experience the separation necessary for erotic charge. Creating healthy physical and emotional space can actually help couples rediscover each other.JJ and Doug also share openly about their own relationship and the changes they've experienced by becoming more conscious of masculine and feminine energy, creating space for individuality, communicating more clearly about what they want, and allowing intimacy to become playful rather than something that has to be performed correctly.In This Episode, You'll Hear About:What sexual polarity actually means and why it mattersWhy loving someone and desiring someone aren't always the same thingHow becoming too merged with your partner can diminish attractionWhy having your own interests, experiences, and space can create more mystery and sexual chargeMasculine and feminine energy—and why polarity isn't simply about genderWhy high-achieving women who spend much of their lives leading, deciding, organizing, and getting things done may have difficulty shifting into receivingHow men can step more confidently into initiation without women having to make themselves smallerThe importance of communicating what you actually want instead of expecting your partner to figure it outHow performance anxiety, shame, and fear of doing something “wrong” can cause partners to avoid intimacy altogetherWhy safety, trust, patience, and curiosity create room for sexual explorationHow playfulness can help take sex out of the realm of pressure and performanceWhy bringing the spark back isn't necessarily about having more sex—it's about creating a different dynamic between youOne of the biggest takeaways from this conversation is that a partner who appears to want less sex may not necessarily want less sex—they may want less of the sex that's currently being offered. That opens an entirely different conversation about desire, communication, pleasure, and what each person actually needs.Sexual chemistry doesn't have to disappear simply because you've been together for years. Sometimes the people capable of creating an entirely new level of intimacy are already there—you just have to create the safety, space, communication, and polarity that allow those parts of you to come forward.Connect with Dr. Jane Guyn: HowToFixMySexLife.com — Learn more about Dr. Jane's work with individuals and couples around intimacy, sexual connection, desire, and relationships.

What if joy wasn't something you had to wait for  — but something you could actually adopt into your life?If you're rebuilding after divorce or navigating a recent loss and are quietly wondering whether you're allowed to feel good again while you're still grieving — this episode is for you.Most of us treat grief and joy as opposites, as if one has to end before the other can begin. My guest today gently dismantles that idea. Her argument is the reverse: your capacity for joy grows in direct proportion to the pain you've allowed yourself to experience. So the question isn't how to get past the grief — it's how to hold both at the same time.My guest is SC Perot. A Stanford Law graduate, Vanderbilt adjunct faculty member, and author of Styles of Joy. After the pandemic, a divorce, and a career shift that dismantled the life she'd planned, SC took a grief sabbatical that led her to 17 Harry Styles concerts across five countries in ten months — and to an entirely new understanding of what joy can look like after loss. In this conversation we explore the identity loss that quietly lives inside divorce grief, why escapism only works when it runs alongside doing the inner work, and the Japanese concept of borrowed views — a practice for turning jealousy into genuine delight in other people's good news. SC also shares her four-part CAPS framework for making joy a skill you build through repetition, and lays out what life after divorce can look like when you stop settling for just okay.In this episode, you'll learn:Why SC says the opposite of joyful is jealousy — and how you can catch envy before it takes holdWhat a grief break is, and how to tell it apart from bypassing your painHow happy music became part of SC's healing journey — and what it means to build a new soundtrack for a new lifeWhy sitting fully inside divorce grief expands your capacity for joyHow the doctrine of borrowed views lets you adopt other people's joy as your ownHow an abundance mindset replaces the scarcity story that someone else's good news means less for youThe 4-part CAPS framework — cultivate, adopt, protect, and spread — and which part trips people up mostHow SC's body told her it was time for a career pivot before her mind caught upWhy collective joy counteracts lonely grief — and where to find it without a concert ticketHow the three circles of connection — intimate, relational, and communal — protect you from loneliness after divorce or anytime.Whether you're deep in divorce recovery or simply carrying more than you expected this season — this conversation offers something rare: a concrete, compassionate path back to more joyful living and feeling like yourself again.Much love and freedom,LaurieFree ResourcesClick here to schedule a FREE inquiry call with me.Click here for my FREE “Beginner's Guide to Somatic Healing”Click here for my FREE Core Values ExerciseConnect with me:Click here to purchase my “Nervous System Regulation Starter Kit” it's $29.99Click here to purchase my book: Sandwiched: A Memoir of Holding On and Letting GoWebsiteInstagramSubstackWant to try somatic work for free?

Do this before bed to calm your nervous system, support your vagus nerve, and drift into deep, healing sleep. This gentle vagus nerve reset meditation is designed to help you shift from fight-or-flight into rest-and-digest using slow breathing, soft sighs, self-compassion, and a tender full-body scan. You're invited to arrive exactly as you are—busy-minded, tired, or tender-hearted—and be reminded again and again: you are safe, you are held, you are okay as you are. In this sleep meditation you will: - Use slow, rhythmic breathing and soft sighs to send a message of safety through your whole system - Explore a somatic hug and soothing (or imagined) self-touch to gently tone the vagus nerve - Experience a warm, tender body scan with visualization, from the crown of the head all the way to sleepy toes - Ground into three points of support beneath you and feel fully held and supported - Practice kindness, acceptance, and letting go of attachment and expectations - Rest into healing affirmations such as: - I am safe to rest - My body is heard - My body's natural healing is active now - rest deeply now This practice is ideal as a bedtime meditation, sleep hypnosis style relaxation, or a nervous system reset at the end of a long day. Listen lying down or seated, let the ground meet you where you are, and allow your body to remember how to rest, repair, and heal. If your mind wanders, that's perfectly okay. Thoughts can simply float by—like leaves on a slow stream—as you are gently guided back to your breath, your body, and the steady support beneath you.
