Episode 6 — Returning Without ShameUnderstanding the Relapse Stage of ChangeIn today's episode we conclude our Change Is Not Linear series exploring the Stages of Change model developed by James Prochaska and Carlo DiClemente.This episode explores the relapse stage, or what is often referred to as “recycling” through the stages of change.Relapse is one of the most misunderstood and shame-filled parts of behaviour change, yet it is also one of the most human.In this episode we explore:Why relapse does not mean failureThe cyclical nature of healing and behaviour changeHow shame can keep people stuck longer than the behaviour itselfNervous system responses and returning to familiar coping strategiesThe emotional build-up that often happens before relapseWhy relapse rarely begins with the behaviour itselfAll-or-nothing thinking and shame spiralsThe importance of compassion, honesty, and supportHow relapse can provide important insight and informationReturning to yourself without self abandonmentWe also talk about how relapse does not erase growth, awareness, healing, or progress, and why many people move through the stages of change multiple times before long-term transformation becomes sustainable.This episode is an invitation to view setbacks with compassion instead of self punishment, and to remember that healing doesn't equal perfection but an opportunity to return to yourself again and again.Journal Prompts & ReflectionWhere in my life do I still equate struggle with failure?What usually happens emotionally before I abandon myself or return to old patterns?How do I speak to myself after mistakes or setbacks?What would change if I viewed relapse as information instead of proof that I'm broken?What support helps me return to myself when I'm struggling?Can I believe that healing is still possible, even when the journey is imperfect?In This SeriesEpisode 1 — Protecting the BehaviourEpisode 2 — Living Between Two WorldsEpisode 3 — Imagining Another LifeEpisode 4 — Practising a New Way of BeingEpisode 5 — The Practice of StayingEpisode 6 — Returning Without ShameIf this episode resonated with you, share it with someone who may need the reminder that setbacks do not erase progress, and that healing can still continue after difficult moments.

Episode 5 The Practice of Staying on TrackUnderstanding the Maintenance Stage of ChangeIn today's episode we continue exploring the Stages of Change model developed by James Prochaska and Carlo DiClemente.This episode explores the maintenance stage, the stage where change is sustained and gradually integrated into everyday life.Maintenance is often misunderstood as the point where things become easy, but in reality it is an ongoing practice of continuing to show up for yourself long after the excitement of change fades.In this episode we explore:Why maintenance is an active and ongoing stage of changeThe myth of “arriving” in healing and recoveryWhy peace and stability can sometimes feel unfamiliarLearning how to live without old coping mechanismsNervous system regulation and sustainable healingIdentity shifts and building long-term self trustRomanticising old behaviours and coping strategiesSocial pressure, relationships, and changing environmentsWhy maintenance is about consistency, not perfectionDaily practices that help support long-term changeWe also talk about how maintenance is less about becoming perfect and more about learning how to remain connected to yourself through all seasons of being human.This episode is an invitation to explore what it means to build a life you no longer need to constantly escape from.Journal Prompts & ReflectionWhat practices genuinely help me stay connected to myself?What environments or relationships make it harder to maintain the changes I've made?Where am I romanticising old coping mechanisms instead of remembering the full picture?What does support look like for me in this season of life?Am I expecting myself to never struggle instead of learning how to support myself through struggle?What would it look like to build a life I don't constantly need to escape from?

Understanding the Action Stage of ChangeIn today's episode we continue our Change Is Not Linear series exploring the Stages of Change model developed by James Prochaska and Carlo DiClemente.This episode explores the action stage, the stage where change becomes visible.Action is where people begin actively changing behaviours, creating new routines, interrupting old patterns, and practising a different way of living.But while action can look exciting from the outside, it is often one of the most emotionally vulnerable stages of change.In this episode we explore:Why action is more vulnerable than many people expectThe emotional intensity that often comes with early changeNervous system responses during behaviour changeThe difference between stopping a behaviour and building a new lifeIdentity shifts and becoming someone newRelationship changes and social discomfortWhy consistency matters more than perfectionThe “pink cloud” and what happens when motivation fadesSelf compassion during the change processWhy sustainable change is built through repetition and supportWe also talk about how healing is not about becoming a completely different person overnight, but about practising a new relationship with yourself one choice at a time.This episode is an invitation to honour the courage it takes to take action — especially when change feels uncomfortable, emotional, and uncertain.Journal Prompts & ReflectionWhat new way of being am I currently practising in my life?Am I expecting perfection instead of progress?What support structures help me stay connected to the version of myself I'm becoming?What old coping mechanisms am I still grieving?Where do I need more compassion for myself in the change process?What would it look like to trust that small consistent actions matter more than dramatic transformation?

In this episode, Lisa continues her deep dive into intentional weight loss through a trauma‑informed, mind‑body‑spirit lens. Building on previous discussions about Maslow's hierarchy and conscious decision‑making, she explores what it truly means to approach weight loss from love, presence, and self‑leadership rather than fear, shame, or diet‑culture conditioning. Lisa reflects on a recent conversation from the Mind and Fitness podcast, where a listener experienced “effortless” weight loss after shifting his mindset. She explains that mindset alone doesn't change the scale—mindset changes behaviors, and behaviors change outcomes. Lisa emphasizes the necessity of waking up and becoming conscious, intentional, and present in your relationship with food, your body, and yourself. Weight loss cannot be passive or dissociated.Topics Include:Conscious Creation & Self‑EnergyLove vs. Fear as a MotivatorBringing All Parts of You Along[0:56] Lisa announces several upcoming opportunities for deeper community engagement, including the first live Patreon Q&A happening Thursday, May 22, 2026 at 6 PM EDT, ongoing Patreon membership tiers at $5, $10, and $25 per month offering behind‑the‑scenes content and live calls, and a five‑day in‑person Omega retreat from July 12–17, 2026.[5:28] Lisa explains that sustainable weight loss requires operating from a higher level of consciousness by taking full responsibility, waking up from “passenger seat” patterns, and stepping into true ownership of food decisions; she highlights Eddie Lindenstein's experience, where moving from self‑force to self‑worth naturally changed his eating behaviors and led to effortless weight loss, demonstrating how internal shifts must translate into physical action to create real results.[13:05] Lisa highlights that sustainable weight loss happens when it is driven by self‑love and safety rather than fear‑based control, noting that love sustains long‑term alignment while fear only fuels short bursts of effort; she also emphasizes the need to fully grieve and accept personal responsibility for every food‑related choice because many people stall until this responsibility truly lands. [28:28] Lisa explains that intentional weight loss requires pairing inner work by continually aligning mindset with nutrient‑dense, high‑volume, low‑calorie eating while observing outcomes and iterating an act of self‑love, liberation, and self‑actualization rather than self‑loathing allow the pursuit to become an embodied expression of growth and personal freedom.[47:17] Lisa underscores the importance of grounding intentional weight loss in safety by maintaining clear health boundaries while accessing capital‑S Self energy from IFS and spiritual frameworks (presence, perspective, patience, playfulness, persistence; calm, clarity, courage, curiosity, compassion, confidence, connection, creativity) so that behavior change arises from wholeness and self‑leadership rather than deficiency‑driven pursuit.. [54:16] Lisa teaches that readiness for intentional weight loss requires reliably meeting basic needs—eating when hungry, stopping when full, and trusting food consistency—because the same behaviors can be safe or unsafe depending on the energy behind them; she reminds listeners that they are spiritual beings who have bodies, not bodies who occasionally feel spiritual, and she emphasizes integrating and honoring all past selves rather than exiling them, modeling this through keeping old photos visible and her “302” tattoo as a way of carrying her history with love and sustaining long‑term change.Embody Peace With Food: A Revolutionary Holistic Approach - Omega Institute: July 12-17, 2026LISA IS NOW ACCEPTING: One-on-One Clients!⁠Purchase the OOTC book of 50 Journal Prompts⁠⁠Leave Questions and Feedback for Lisa via OOTC Pod Feedback Form ⁠Email Lisa: ⁠lisa@lisaschlosberg.com⁠⁠Out of the Cave Merch⁠ - For 10% off use code SCHLOS10Lisa's Socials: Instagram⁠ ⁠Facebook⁠ ⁠YouTube⁠

In this episode, Lisa talks about how safety, conscious input, and mind‑body awareness set the foundation for intentional weight loss. She shares new updates from “Bob,” whose real‑time shifts show how tools like safety visualization and breath awareness create real change. Lisa explains why movement only becomes therapeutic when your mindset and your body are working together, and she reframes stress through seasonality and bioindividuality—reminding us that our capacity changes across life seasons. She introduces Maslow's hierarchy to show why a steady, safe relationship with food must come first before any aesthetic goals. This episode sets the stage for the next phase of the Solo Series: a trauma‑informed, grounded approach to sustainable weight loss.Topics Include:Conscious InputEmbodied ShiftsSeasonal CapacityFoundational Safety[0:33] Lisa announces current community offerings: a free trauma‑informed restorative yoga class on May 14, a free one‑hour coaching session for anyone who registers for the Omega retreat by May 15, details for the in‑person Omega retreat happening July 12–17, and the launch of the Patreon community with bonus content and a monthly live Q&A.[20:01] Lisa expands on embodied safety as the starting point for any real change, showing how practices like the safety bubble help your body feel protected enough to grow. She uses Maslow's hierarchy to illustrate why stability with food and basic safety must come first, explaining that intentional weight loss sits higher on the pyramid as a growth‑based goal—something you can only pursue once your foundational needs are met and your system feels steady, supported, and resourced.[32:17] Lisa introduces the three‑level framework by explaining that intentional weight loss only becomes possible when you move through a clear progression. She frames the entire process as a trauma‑informed path from safety to connection to intentional change. [34:13] Lisa explains that Level 1 is about building emotional sobriety and food stability, where she teaches you to feed yourself regularly and predictably so your body learns it is safe, supported, and no longer in survival mode. Level 2 focuses on reconnecting with your body through interoception, breath, posture, and conscious input, helping you make choices from regulation instead of reactivity. Level 3 is where intentional weight loss becomes possible, because you are grounded, resourced, and able to make growth‑based adjustments with clarity, agency, and self‑trust rather than urgency or self‑rejection.[1:02:54] Lisa explains the difference between pursuing weight loss from deprivation versus growth, naming how her past survival‑driven attempts came from unmet needs while her current aesthetic goals only make sense because her foundation is stable. She shows that intentional change can only happen when radical acceptance, self‑compassion, and trauma‑informed awareness are woven into every level turning the pursuit of any goal into a gentle, shame‑free practice of reparenting rather than a return to urgency or self‑abandonment. [1:25:27] Lisa wraps up the episode by bringing the focus back to safety, readiness, and pacing, reminding listeners that intentional weight loss can only happen after the foundational work is in place. She emphasizes that the next episode will finally move into the “how‑to,” but only because the groundwork has now been fully laid. She closes by encouraging listeners to stay with the process that makes sustainable change possible.Embody Peace With Food: A Revolutionary Holistic Approach - Omega Institute: July 12-17, 2026LISA IS NOW ACCEPTING: One-on-One Clients!⁠Purchase the OOTC book of 50 Journal Prompts⁠⁠Leave Questions and Feedback for Lisa via OOTC Pod Feedback Form ⁠Email Lisa: ⁠lisa@lisaschlosberg.com⁠⁠Out of the Cave Merch⁠ - For 10% off use code SCHLOS10Lisa's Socials: Instagram⁠ ⁠Facebook⁠ ⁠YouTube⁠

In this episode, Lisa shares community updates—including her upcoming Omega retreat, new Patreon offerings, and a free trauma‑informed restorative yoga class—before diving into the mind‑body foundations that make intentional weight loss safe and sustainable. She reflects on validating research about trauma‑informed weightlifting, explores how conscious input reshapes our relationship with discomfort, and reads powerful real‑time shifts from a friend practicing breathwork, posture awareness, and internal safety. Lisa unpacks pendulum swings around boundaries, spiritual fitness, and gym confidence, and she illustrates how practices like cold exposure, saunas, and mindful movement build resilience when approached with titration and choice. Throughout, she emphasizes safety, agency, and embodied presence as the groundwork for the intentional weight‑loss guidance coming next.Topics Include:Trauma‑Informed StrengthReal‑Time Mind‑Body Shifts Through PracticePendulum Swings, Boundaries, and Spiritual FitnessConscious Effort, Agency, and the Work Ahead[0:51] Lisa announces upcoming community offerings: the Omega Institute retreat (July 12–17) with a free one‑hour coaching session for anyone who registers before May 15; a free live trauma‑informed restorative yoga practice on May 14 focused on cultivating bodily safety and mind–body union; and the launch of her Patreon, where the $25 tier includes a monthly live call, the $10 tier offers extra behind‑the‑scenes content, and the $5 tier supports the podcast as an energy exchange.[9:55] Lisa shares that she is currently in a doctoral program in trauma‑informed practice and leadership, and she describes how her coursework—especially a class on bottom‑up, somatic interventions—deepens and validates everything she teaches. She reflects on an assigned research article on “trauma‑informed weightlifting,” noting how the findings mirror her lived experience of strength training as a pathway to empowerment and healing. She emphasizes how affirming it feels to see academic research catching up to what she has known in her body for years.[15:28] Lisa shares a text exchange with “Bob,” who applies the Solo Series tools and sees real‑time shifts—reframing high involvement/low attachment, correcting years of “backwards” breathing shaped by the male gaze, improving posture, easing digestive discomfort, and meeting fear with love—showing how consistent, embodied practice creates tangible change. [35:15] Lisa highlights how building safety, competence, and agency in the gym transforms strength training into an empowering, trauma‑informed practice that reinforces confidence and embodied trust. Lisa shows how reframing conscious inputs shifts discomfort into choice and safety, creating the conditions for sustainable, self‑directed change.[45:31] Lisa explains that stress isn't one‑size‑fits‑all—what your body can handle changes depending on your season of life, your responsibilities, your energy, and your unique biology. She highlights that sustainable change comes from noticing those shifts and adjusting your expectations accordingly, instead of forcing yourself to operate the same way in every season. [1:08:29] Lisa positions intentional weight loss as the next phase of the Solo Series, emphasizing that upcoming episodes will translate all the groundwork—safety, agency, conscious input, and emotional regulation—into clear, trauma‑informed guidance for sustainable change.Embody Peace With Food: A Revolutionary Holistic Approach - Omega Institute: July 12-17, 2026LISA IS NOW ACCEPTING: One-on-One Clients!⁠Purchase the OOTC book of 50 Journal Prompts⁠⁠Leave Questions and Feedback for Lisa via OOTC Pod Feedback Form ⁠Email Lisa: ⁠lisa@lisaschlosberg.com⁠⁠Out of the Cave Merch⁠ - For 10% off use code SCHLOS10Lisa's Socials: Instagram⁠ ⁠Facebook⁠ ⁠YouTube⁠

In this solo episode, Lisa invites listeners into a deeper exploration of how we relate to discomfort—whether it shows up as sweat, strain, self‑judgment, or the instinct to contract under stress. Through stories from the gym and trauma‑informed insights on titration, conscious input, and nervous‑system safety, she shows how movement becomes a living laboratory for practicing presence, nuance, and “high involvement, low attachment.” This conversation sets the stage for the more concrete intentional‑weight‑loss guidance coming next. Topics Include:Rewriting the Relationship With DiscomfortExercise as a Practice of Embodied SafetyBiology of CourageFinding the Middle Ground[2:22] Lisa opens the episode by inviting listeners to join her on July 12–17 at the Omega Institute, encouraging anyone drawn to this work to register and experience the retreat with her and her guest instructors.[3:18] Lisa reframes her once‑insecure relationship with sweating as purposeful and athletic, and she explains that stress is adaptive; treating exercise as healthy acute stress while practicing high involvement, low attachment so she can work hard, stay safe, and build sustainable resilience in movement and intentional weight loss.[13:36] Lisa shows how bringing a playful at the gym shifts her entire physiology, explaining that the stories she tells herself during movement determine whether her body feels pressured or safe, and that conscious input makes hard work feel lighter, sustainable, and regulated. [16:28] Lisa highlights how self‑judgment becomes an “inner predator” during movement, and she practices discipline as an act of courage and presence rather than shame, choosing compassionate attention and taking responsibility for both her physical actions and the narratives she tells herself so she can work hard while staying emotionally safe. [20:00] Lisa notices how her body can swing from healthy alertness into unnecessary hypervigilance during movement, and she practices focusing without excess tension by relaxing the areas not involved in the exercise—allowing discomfort where it belongs while preventing added contraction everywhere else. [23:49] Lisa practices directing discomfort only to the muscles she's intentionally working while relaxing the rest of her body, using posture and conscious input to stay highly involved in the effort but lightly attached to the outcome—embodying safety, strength, and chosen discomfort through both targeted tension and expansive, empowering body language. [29:28] Lisa practices titration by meeting discomfort in gradual, manageable doses so she stays present rather than overwhelmed, training herself to inhabit the balanced “in‑between” instead of swinging to familiar extremes.[34:12] Lisa rejects both diet and anti‑diet extremes and embraces weight loss as a spiritual, embodied journey—pairing fierce and tender self‑compassion, grounding her choices in genuine care, taking responsibility for emotional and physical actions, and drawing on her 150‑pound transformation to build agency, alignment, and sustainable change.[57:39] Lisa uses a driving metaphor to show that intentional weight loss requires active agency rather than waiting for change to happen on its own.[1:08:41] Lisa wraps up this episode by reminding  listeners that everything she has been teaching around discomfort, safety, agency, and conscious input is preparing them for the upcoming “how‑to” guidance on intentional weight loss.Join Us on Patreon!Embody Peace With Food: A Revolutionary Holistic Approach - Omega Institute: July 12-17, 2026LISA IS NOW ACCEPTING: One-on-One Clients!⁠Purchase the OOTC book of 50 Journal Prompts⁠⁠Leave Questions and Feedback for Lisa via OOTC Pod Feedback Form ⁠Email Lisa: ⁠lisa@lisaschlosberg.com⁠⁠Out of the Cave Merch⁠ - For 10% off use code SCHLOS10Lisa's Socials: Instagram⁠ ⁠Facebook⁠ ⁠YouTube⁠

If you find yourself not achieving the things you think you want for yourself or being inconsistent with what you're meant to be doing, it might be that you're identifying with the wrong goal. This episode explains why it's so important to connect with the key feelings you want to feel in your life, and understand how the external goals you have will (or won't) create those feelings on a genuine level. By understanding how each decision and choice you face every day will take you closer or further away from your desired feelings (rather than tying them to the unhelpful pressures of external outcomes like weight, salary, houses and holidays), you can start to see everything as an opportunity that has immediate impact on your day-to-day life experience which will inevitably have a cumulative impact.Identifying your feelings goals will help you lead a more authentic life that lights you up from the inside out, rather than following presumed ideas of what's best for you. Journal Prompts: - identify 2-3 feelings goals- why are these feelings important to you? what will they mean about you? how do you know when you're feeling that way?- what do you do currently that helps you feel this way?- what do you do currently that detracts from these feelings? - what are your top 2 extrinsic goals right now? will achieving those goals create these feelings on a true and deep level for you? why or why not?- what are your takeaways from this exercise?My next 1:1 coaching intake starts 27.04.26! ⁠⁠⁠⁠Find out more and book your free consultation call here >⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Buy my 3 month food & drinks journal here >⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sign up to the Stop Emotional Eating 20 lesson podcast course here >⁠⁠⁠

This episode is a breakdown of how I use journaling as a tool for self-awareness, self-trust, and real personal growth.I share a series of prompts from my Heart Alchemy Writing Challenge that are designed to help you think differently, access parts of yourself you normally avoid, and get honest about where you are right now. This isn't surface-level journaling — this is about understanding your patterns, your habits, your identity, and where you're holding yourself back.We get into power, commitment, confidence, and the relationship you have with your future self — and how journaling can help you close the gap between who you are and who you're becoming.This is about using writing as a tool to get clear, build self-trust, and actually move your life forward.⭐️YOUR SUPPORT MATTERS: Please: Subscribe + leave 5⭐️Star rating +review HEREEnjoy! xRxFIND ME ON:️INSTAGRAMSUBSTACKYOUTUBEXTHREADS

Here's a powerful truth: there is a realll reason why ancient civilizations carved “Know Thyself” into temple walls. Not “achieve more”Not “manifest faster”Not “find your soulmate”But ‘know yourself' – because *everything* begins with exactly that. If you don't truly know who you are beneath people-pleasing, perfectionism, and the masks you wear, it's easy to live on autopilot—following others and building a life that doesn't feel like your own.In this episode, we explore the deep, sometimes uncomfortable inner work that brings you back to yourself—covering trauma, nervous system patterns, unconscious beliefs, masculine and feminine balance, and self-awareness that goes far beyond journaling.This is your invitation to slow down, tune in, and reconnect with YOU.

In this solo episode, Lisa explores authenticity and safety while sharing her personal story as part of the podcast, addresses privilege and fragmented consciousness with concrete examples, and offers mindfulness, breathing, visualization, and mind-muscle practices for workouts and daily life. She reflects on social capital tied to weight loss, how to care selectively about others' opinions using values-based filters, and how judgments reveal inner states. Lisa shares how she overcame chronic left-sided hip/lower-back pain through interoception, emotional processing, and tension release. Topics Include:Privilege AwarenessOvercoming DistractionsSelf RegulationMindfulness as a Practice[0:33] Lisa begins this episode with a few announcements. She announces the opening of registration for the retreat on July 12-17, 2026, at the Omega Institute. Lisa shares that as she continues to record the solo series episodes, she feels pulled to share more of her personal story. While feeling nervous about sharing more personal stories in an open forum, she has made the decision to start a Patreon account as a place to share them. [5:45] Lisa talks about the distraction she feels as she records video episodes but feels committed to continue to do so. As a way to support herself through this discomfort, she shares the items and clothing she has as a way to support herself in her discomfort and authenticity.  [11:19] Lisa discusses privilege as the experience of not having to think about certain things. She explains that privilege can mean moving through the world without constantly scanning the social environment for judgment or safety, and she connects that to both race and body size. Lisa shares a simple example of white privilege such as being able to easily find a bandage that matches her skin tone, and then names the thin privilege she noticed after weight loss like wearing a hair tie on her wrist and eating without people making assumptions.[17:49] Lisa discusses Brene Brown's idea around how to stop caring what people think about you and how you just get to be intentional about how much you care and who you give your attention to. She uses this as a filter for feedback and judgment through her own values. Lisa points out that caring is human and wired into us, but discernment is a skill that can be practiced.[27:59] Lisa discusses different breathing tools she's been using to stay present during workouts when it would be easy to get distracted. She talks about breathing only through her nose, even during cardio, and noticing that it turns into a mindfulness practice because she has to stay so focused and feels less stressed. She then highlights the power of the exhale because she can feel her nervous system regulate in real time when she stops holding her breath or trying to be “quiet.” Lisa frames breathing as a simple, body-based way to communicate safety to the system while doing something intense or vulnerable. [1:01:58] Lisa wraps up the episode by discussing mindfulness as a practical, moment-to-moment skill of bringing your attention back to what's happening inside you—your breath, your body, and your direct experience. Lisa also highlights that mindfulness isn't just meditation—it's learning to notice where you unconsciously hold tension (shoulders, grip, toes, hip, etc.) and practicing releasing it, which can become a lifestyle of interoception and self-regulation. Join us on Patreon!Embody Peace With Food: A Revolutionary Holistic Approach - Omega Institute: July 12-17, 2026LISA IS NOW ACCEPTING: One-on-One Clients!⁠Purchase the OOTC book of 50 Journal Prompts⁠⁠Leave Questions and Feedback for Lisa via OOTC Pod Feedback Form ⁠Email Lisa: ⁠lisa@lisaschlosberg.com⁠⁠Out of the Cave Merch⁠ - For 10% off use code SCHLOS10Lisa's Socials: Instagram⁠ ⁠Facebook⁠ ⁠YouTube⁠

You can be capable, accomplished, and still find yourself questioning whether you're doing enough or truly belong in the room. For many high-performing women, self-doubt doesn't disappear with success, it just gets quieter, more subtle, and harder to name. In this episode of Monday Morning Mojo, Anna unpacks imposter syndrome through a more honest and empowering lens. She shares why these thoughts often show up when you're growing, stretching, or carrying more responsibility, and why they may have far less to do with your ability than you think. Why imposter syndrome is often misunderstood and what it may actually be signaling beneath the surface The hidden reason so many capable, high-achieving women still wrestle with self-doubt How your mind can misread growth, discomfort, and uncertainty as evidence that something is wrong The 5 common patterns of imposter syndrome and why recognizing yours can change everything If this has been showing up for you lately, this episode will give language to what you may have been feeling and a new way to think about it. Listen now and start your week with a little more clarity, confidence, and self-trust.

In this week's episode of Master Your Marriage, we continue our series on Terry Real's Losing Strategies in relationships. Last week we unpacked Unbridled Expression. This week we dive into Losing Strategy #2: Controlling Your Partner.We all slip into control tactics — sometimes overtly through criticism, insults, or demands, and sometimes more subtly through guilt-tripping, gaslighting, blame-shifting, triangulation, or emotional manipulation. While these behaviors may give us a quick sense of relief or power when we're in “The Crunch,” they ultimately damage trust, create resentment, build emotional walls, and erode intimacy.Sharla and Robert explore:Why our brains are wired to crave control (and why it almost always backfires)How control shows up in both overt and covert waysThe real hidden cost of trying to manage our partner's behavior, choices, or emotionsWhy “If only you would change…” is such a compelling but losing strategyIf you've ever caught yourself thinking “If only my partner would just…”, this episode will hit home. Learn how to recognize control in yourself and move toward real connection instead.Journal Prompts from this episode:When do you notice “The Crunch” — that frustration when things aren't going the way you want?How do you reach for control in those moments? Which tactics show up for you?What would your wisest, most loving self do differently next time?Consider sharing one honest insight about your own behavior (not theirs) with your partner.Resources Mentioned:Terry Real's Relational Life Therapy and The New Rules of MarriageJohn Gottman's Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (Criticism)If this episode resonated with you, please take a moment to leave us a 5-star review and comment — it helps us reach more couples.

In this chapter, Lisa explores how body image, trauma, and the internalized outsider gaze pull us out of our bodies and into self‑objectification. She unpacks how fat phobia, the male gaze, and chronic shallow breathing keep the nervous system in fight‑or‑flight, blocking sustainable change. Drawing on somatic research and her own history of dissociation as protection, Lisa shows why healing begins with coming back inside through breath and interoceptive awareness. The episode closes with a grounding practice to shift from “How do I look” to “How do I feel,” the first step toward embodied change. Topics Include:Nervous System SafetyBreathwork for SafetyInternalized Outsider GazeComing Home to the Body[0:20] Lisa begins the episode by announcing that registration for the next OOTC Retreat at the Omega Institute scheduled for July 12–17, 2026 is open. Lisa apologizes for the potentially lower sound quality as she is traveling and recording without her microphone. She frames this as a deliberate choice to prioritize "messy action" and consistency over perfection. [4:50] Revisiting the “Devil's Snare” metaphor, Lisa emphasizes that healing isn't about pushing harder—it's about learning how to breathe and soften back into the body. She introduces a quote taught by Caroline Lee Dewey: "We don't learn how to push. We learn how to breathe." Highlighting that healing and coming back into one's body is about breathing and release, not pushing and control.[8:08] Lisa examines how internalized fear of fatness often shows up as shallow breathing, especially discomfort with the belly expanding during a deep, diaphragmatic inhale. She explains that feeling safe in one's body is presented as a necessary prerequisite for intentional and sustainable weight loss. If a person's breathing pattern is constantly signaling danger, it undermines the foundation required for healthy, lasting change.[18:42] Citing somatic therapist Ailey Jolie from Instagram, Lisa explains the internalized male gaze and that internalized objectification lives in the nervous system, manifesting in micro-adjustments the body makes before conscious awareness. Referencing Iris Marion Young's essay "Throwing Like a Girl," Lisa describes how women learn to move with "inhibited intentionality," taking up less space and moving tentatively, as if always being watched. Lisa also discusses research by Barbara Fredrickson and Tommy-Ann Roberts on "self-objectification," where girls adopt an observer's perspective on their bodies, measurably impairing the ability to feel internal bodily states like hunger or heartbeat.[45:24] Lisa shares her disconnection to the trauma of her younger sister's death when she was five and how she coped with using food. She explains that denial, disconnection, and dissociation became her primary defense mechanisms and sent her the message that the world was safe despite her weight. [1:09:09] Lisa wraps this episode up by inviting listeners to practice re‑centering through two anchors: deep breathing and replacing “How do I look?” with “How do I feel?” She emphasizes that mindful breathing is a skill that must be practiced to come back inside the body and become aware of what is happening within oneself.*The views of podcast guests do not necessarily reflect the views and beliefs of Lisa Schlosberg or Out of the Cave, LLC.Embody Peace With Food: A Revolutionary Holistic Approach - Omega Institute: July 12-17, 2026LISA IS NOW ACCEPTING: One-on-One Clients!⁠Purchase the OOTC book of 50 Journal Prompts⁠⁠Leave Questions and Feedback for Lisa via OOTC Pod Feedback Form ⁠Email Lisa: ⁠lisa@lisaschlosberg.com⁠⁠Out of the Cave Merch⁠ - For 10% off use code SCHLOS10Lisa's Socials: Instagram⁠ ⁠Facebook⁠ ⁠YouTube⁠

Last week we introduced the Three I's of change: information (knowing), implementation (doing), and integration (becoming).But this week, I realized something was missing.In this episode, I expand the model into the 4-I Framework by adding the most important piece: intention.Because here's what we see all the time — runners have plenty of information. You know easy runs should feel like a 2–3/10. You know strength training prevents injury. You know consistency matters.But knowing isn't the problem.The missing link is intention — your direction, your chosen outcome, your commitment. Intention is what bridges information to action and supports real identity-level change.Sometimes intention comes after learning something new. Other times it comes first — like deciding to run a half marathon and then seeking the right guidance. Either way, if your intention isn't clear, you end up overwhelmed, misaligned, and relying on willpower instead of alignment.In this episode, we'll help you clarify what you actually want from your running and strength training — and show you how revisiting your intention is the key to sustainable, long-term growth.If you've ever felt stuck between knowing and becoming, this one's for you.03:09 Missing Piece Intention05:58 Defining Intention07:45 Why Behind Workouts11:33 Ordering the Four Is12:51 Pathway One Example15:35 Pathway Two Goal First18:20 Rechecking Intention Loop20:18 Ultras and Identity Shift25:16 Information Culture After 4028:25 Stop Running All Out28:51 How Elites Train Easy29:45 Intention Bridges Identity31:47 Integration Builds Consistency33:02 From Willpower to Who I Am35:55 Journal Prompts for Intention37:53 Enjoyment First in Lifting43:20 Align Behavior With Goals46:23 Avoid Information Overload51:46 Set One Monthly Intention53:08 Four I Framework Recap54:11 Sustainable Change and WrapJoin the 30 Day Running Reset and get a plan that will help you build a strong and injury-proof body by combining running and strength training in a way that actually works for runners like you.Gain access to my new secret podcast, Unbreakable: The Runner's Guide To Injury-Proofing Your Body After 40.

Hello Witches In this episode of the podcast I am joined by Roman Hanis, the author of Beyond Ayahuasca for a grounded, honest conversation about ayahuasca. Often referred to as the Mother Plant it has become one of the most sought after spiritual experiences in the modern world. Roman's work invites us to look beyond the visions, beyond the mysticism and into something far more important - integration, nervous system safety, humility and sovereignty. Together we explore why peak mystical experiences are not the same as embodied transformation, the difference between insight and real, lived integration and the risks of chasing ceremony after ceremony. This conversation is not about romanticising plant medicine but about how true transformation is not found in the ceremony alone but how you choose to live once you return. Ayahuasca is a powerful psychoactive substance and carries significant physical and psychological risks. This episode is for educational and reflective purposes only. If you are considering plant medicine please research thoroughly, seek qualified medical advice and prioritise your safety and mental wellbeing. If you are considering an ayahuasca ceremony I highly recommend Roman's book - you may also want to consider the following journal prompts. The book also has a number of exercises you can work through. Journal Prompts for Reflection What am I hoping an altered state would give me that I am not currently giving myself? Where in my life am I mistaking intensity for growth? What would true integration look like in my day-to-day behaviour? How can I build nervous system safety before seeking expansion?

You're not doing anything wrong. But you are carrying far more than your brain was meant to hold. The lists. The reminders. The mental tabs you keep open so nothing falls apart.If you're the person who remembers everything, anticipates everything, and keeps everything moving, this one is for you.This episode builds on Part One of the Beyond Awareness series. If you listened on Tuesday, you identified the thought loop behind your mental load. Today, we slow it down and give your brain space to let go.Journal Prompts To Release the Mental LoadList everything that is currently taking up space in your brain right now. Work and home tasks.Things you're afraid you'll forget. Decisions you haven't made yet. Don't organize it. Don't clean it up. Just write what's actually there.From that list, choose the thing that feels most urgent or most stressful. Ask yourself what you believe will happen if you stop thinking about this. If you let it go. If you trust someone else to handle it. If you forget it completely. What is the worst case scenario your brain is trying to prevent?If you weren't the person who remembered everything and held it all together, who would you be? What would that mean about you? Would you still be valuable? Still worthy of your career, your family, and the life you're building? What would you need to believe about yourself, or trust about your life, to let your brain rest? What permission do you need to give yourself?If something came up while you were writing, that's your signal you've gone beyond awareness. You didn't find another solution.

In this solo episode of Masks Off: Inner Freedom for People-Pleasers & Perfectionists, host Kim Gross unpacks the deeply rooted pattern of approval addiction—the unconscious need for validation that often drives people-pleasing, perfectionism, and self-abandonment.Kim shares personal reflections and excerpts from her memoir Free to Be: A Pathway to Inner Liberation, revealing how approval-seeking behaviors form in childhood as survival strategies tied to safety, belonging, and love. Rather than framing these patterns as weaknesses, Kim offers a compassionate reframe: approval addiction is learned—and therefore, it can be unlearned.Listeners are invited into a gentle process of self-awareness through journal prompts, reflection, and nervous-system-informed insight.

In this solo episode, Lisa takes a step back and asks a different question about “disorders”—especially eating disorders—not as something broken or pathological, but as ways the nervous system learned to survive. Lisa's discussion centers on healing through safety, trust, and behavior-first change—embodying new patterns until the nervous system habituates—through tender and fierce self-compassion, balanced integration, and very small, sustainable steps. Along the way, Lisa offers practical examples that apply to intuitive eating, weight loss, and everyday habits, inviting listeners into a more human, aligned, and compassionate way of changing.Topics Include:Survival StrategiesSelf-CompassionEmbodied ChangeHumanized Healing[0:55] Lisa welcomes listeners and encourages listeners to catch up for the full context of this episode. This chapter marks a transition toward topics she has long been eager to address more directly.[2:45] Lisa discusses graduate social work training where the DSM is treated as authoritative. Lisa discusses how eating disorder categories have expanded over time due to observed patterns, not necessarily because human behavior fundamentally changed.[7:58] Lisa contrasts dissociative identity disorder with Internal Family Systems (IFS), which validates natural inner parts or sub-personalities. She talks about how clients doing the work notice conflicting inner parts; she normalizes this as human, not psychosis..[10:45] Lisa challenges reframing things as not an eating disorder but a strategy to regulate the energetic mind-body-soul system involving food. Similarly, Lisa points out that it's not about the substance or behavior but the function it serves and how it regulates the nervous system. [16:02] Lisa talks about how some addictions like overworking are socially rewarded; while others are condemned. She talks about how a person in a larger body overeating and a person in a smaller body undereating may be driven by comparable nervous-system conditions. Despite opposite behaviors, both can produce similar nervous-system sensations, reinforcing familiar physiology and cycles.[20:42] Lisa talks about not being impressed by things such as weight loss if they cost health, relationships, and well-being. She values outcomes integrated into a balanced, joyful life—sustainable, gradual changes with work-life balance, fulfillment, family time, and hobbies.  [27:18] Lisa shares her thoughts on how it's more that we accept the love we feel safe to receive, not necessarily the love we think we deserve. She discusses how many are conditioned through diet culture, hustle culture, family dynamics, social systems, into self-objectification and suppression of feelings, relating to themselves as bodies to control rather than whole beings. [31:09] Lisa discusses acting as if you are worthy and safe to receive care, even if feelings lag behind. She suggests one does not need to feel worthy to receive care but be willing to receive it and do the caring behaviors anyway. She states the method for this is baby steps to honor the nervous system; progress paced to sensitivity and regulation rather than idealized timelines.[56:04] Lisa closes the episode with a discussion of the growth zones, embraces the learning zone; avoids overshooting into danger and how discomfort is necessary for learning. She states to integrate action and acceptance across behaviors for sustainable change, one must pair outer steps with inner care.*The views of podcast guests do not necessarily reflect the views and beliefs of Lisa Schlosberg or Out of the Cave, LLC.LISA IS NOW ACCEPTING: One-on-One Clients!⁠Purchase the OOTC book of 50 Journal Prompts⁠⁠Leave Questions and Feedback for Lisa via OOTC Pod Feedback Form ⁠Email Lisa: ⁠lisa@lisaschlosberg.com⁠⁠Out of the Cave Merch⁠ - For 10% off use code SCHLOS10Lisa's Socials: Instagram⁠ ⁠Facebook⁠ ⁠YouTube⁠

You know what to do for your health. You've known for years. But knowing hasn't made it stick - and starting over is getting exhausting.This episode picks up where my conversation with Dr. Amy Beheimer left off and slows things down enough to look at what actually stops health habits from sticking. Not willpower. Not discipline. The thoughts and feelings that show up before you ever take action.This is a guided journaling episode designed to help you understand why certain health goals keep falling apart - and what needs to shift so you can follow through in a way that actually fits your life.We go beyond “I should be doing this” and into the beliefs, expectations, and quiet pressure that keep pulling you back into the same cycle.Journal through these prompts:What health habit do you know you “should” be doing, but keep not doing because it feels too small to matter?When you think about doing that habit, what do you tell yourself that stops you? Not the logical reason - the automatic thought that shows up.If you're brutally honest, do you actually want this health goal? Or do you think you should want it because everyone else does? If you don't want it, what would feel good to your body instead?What would need to change about this habit for you to genuinely want to do it? Not force yourself. Not white-knuckle it. Actually want it.Dr. Amy says habits aren't just what we do or don't do - they're the thoughts and feelings that come first.

Have you noticed how your body can be still, but your mind keeps going?The same thought. The same worry. The same unfinished conversation looping, even after you've rested. You might be sleeping more. Taking breaks. Trying to slow down. And yet, you still wake up tired.In my conversation earlier this week with Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith, author of The Seven Types of Rest, she shared something important: emotional rest doesn't come from stopping the noise. It comes from processing what your mind is holding onto.Today, we slow things down. Not to fix anything. Not to solve the problem. But to create space for what's been quietly draining you.Journal with me using these prompts:What thought, worry, or conversation keeps replaying in my mind right now? Write it down exactly as it sounds in my head. No filtering. Just capture the loop.What type of rest deficit might this be pointing to? Mental, emotional, social, spiritual, physical, sensory, or creative.Why am I actually holding on to this thought? What do I believe will happen if I let it go or don't solve it right now? What am I afraid this situation means about me?If I truly wanted to pour back into this depleted area — not just stop the bleeding — what would that look like? What would help me feel restored, not just less drained?By the end of this episode, you'll feel calmer and clearer — not because everything is resolved, but because you understand what your mind has been trying to protect.Resources Mentioned:Free Calm Mind Blueprint: http://www.samanthapenkoff.com/calm-mind-podNewsletter: www.samanthapenkoff.com/promptsWork with me:Breakthrough Intensive - You already know you should slow down, delegate more, stop overcommitting.

Too many business leaders rush into goal setting fueled by excitement, comparison, or urgency, only to find themselves overwhelmed, misaligned, or burned out by February.  In this first episode of Monday Morning Mojo for 2026, I am challenging the idea that more planning is the answer and introducing something more important you need to do: pause.

Resources Mentioned in the Show: DISC Assessment (pdf) Quotes to Remember: There is power in the pause. Nothing changes unless we get into action. The universe is here to support you.

Kick off your new year with a refreshing and hope-filled conversation about the pressure to set body-related goals and the journey toward real freedom. Hosts Heather Creekmore and Amy Carlson dig deep into why so many women set weight loss as their top resolution and how our culture’s diet obsessions impact families, friendships, and faith communities. You’ll hear honest stories, including “are we getting left behind?” anxiety, the latest health fads (GLP1s and fiber, anyone?), and powerful encouragement to seek God’s “how much more” rather than settle for the world’s lesser goals. Whether you’re a goal-setter, a recovering dieter, or someone wondering what you might be missing by chasing smaller jeans instead of a fuller life—this episode will inspire you to open your hands, journal, and pursue the abundance only God can give. **Get your FREE Obsessed-to-Blessed Mini course here. Journal Prompts from Today’s Episode What am I going to miss if I invest my time and energy into weight loss this year?(Reflect on what parts of your life could suffer or what experiences you might lose out on.) What parts of my life feel stunted or neglected because of my focus on body goals?(Take inventory of relationships, passions, or spiritual growth you could nurture instead.) What is my mind telling me ‘my life will begin when…’?(Finish this sentence honestly and challenge what you believe about starting to live.) What am I not asking God for that would truly bring “how much more” into my life?(Go before God with open hands – ask Him what He wants for you in 2026.) Who else is impacted by my health and eating practices?(Consider your kids, spouse, friends, or community and how your choices ripple out.) How does seeking smaller goals (like a certain weight or restriction) limit the breadth of my ‘garden’—my life?(Picture your life as a garden and consider what fruit you aren’t tending to.) “My life will start when…” versus “How much more does God have for me?”(Contrast your answer to these two prompts and pray for wisdom to pursue God’s best.) Bonus: Community Conversation StarterIf something in this episode resonated with you or led to a new insight or goal, Amy encourages listeners to share their goal or what God is inviting them into for 2026. Imagine how uplifting it would be to see what God’s abundance is unfolding in lives beyond just body-centered achievements! EncouragementYou’re not behind, and you don’t have to settle for less. Hear stories, biblical truths, and real talk that help you stop comparing and start living with open hands, trust, and greater faith. Need more support?

You don't have to know exactly where you're going to start walking toward it.In this episode of Stay Magic, Sara Walka shares the magic of Capricorn season and why this energy is perfect for casting a vision you can't fully see yet. She also reflects on 10 years of The Sisters Enchanted (!) and the seeds she planted back in 2016 that she never could have predicted would grow into this.If you're afraid of getting your long-term vision "wrong," or you're stuck because you don't have all the answers, this one's for you.In This Episode:What is Capricorn energy good for?Capricorn is the energy of foundations, devotion, and the long game. It's not about quick wins, it's about planting seeds for things that need time to grow: ideas, finances, relationships, wisdom, and identity shifts. This is the perfect season to think beyond the year ahead and ask yourself what you want to devote your energy to over time.What does the sea goat symbolize?Capricorn is represented by the sea goat, a creature with hooves on the mountaintop (the long view, what we can see) and a fish tail in the ocean depths (the unknown, what we can't predict). This symbol reminds us to hold our visions loosely: trust where you're headed, even when you can't see the full picture.What is a Saturn return?Saturn takes about 29.5 years to move through all twelve zodiac signs. When Saturn returns to the sign it was in when you were born (around age 29, 59, and 88), it often marks a major shift in what you're devoted to and how you see your life's structure. These are powerful turning points worth reflecting on.How do I cast a long-term vision when I don't know the outcome?You don't need a detailed plan, you need a felt sense of what you want to devote yourself to. Create a sacred space, a talisman, a sticky note, or a simple reminder of that energy. The Capricorn invitation is to do the work, trust the process, and let the path reveal itself.Journal Prompts for Capricorn Season:

A Higher Self Hypnotic Journey for Clarity, Completion, and the Next Version of YouIf you've been feeling unclear about what actually changed this year…If part of you wonders whether anything really shifted, even though you know so much transformed internally…If you're craving a meaningful end to the year that feels intentional rather than chaotic…This episode is for you.In this hypnotic journey, you'll connect with your Higher Self - the version of you who sees the bigger picture, who already understands what has completed, and who knows what's rising next.This is a gentle, powerful reset you can listen to any time of year when you need clarity, validation, or alignment.//  INSIDE THE JOURNEY  We'll ask your Higher Self...What can your Higher Self help you recognize about the growth you achieved in the past year? What can you give yourself more credit for?What inner strength, clarity, or wisdom quietly expanded within you this year?What is your Higher Self gently asking you to set down, not because it was wrong, but because you've simply outgrown it?What helps you receive guidance more clearly: stillness, movement, journaling, breath, nature, or something else entirely?How can you carry your connection with your Higher Self into daily life, not just during journeys or meditation? What would that look like for you?What is the next aligned action your Higher Self wants you to take as you move into a new season of your life?After the journey, you'll deepen your integration with optional journal prompts for integration below. I recommend writing about your experience for at least a few minutes after the journey. It can help to solidify the information and perspectives into your mind AND give you even more insights and trust into this connection you have to your Higher Self.//  HYP SUGGESTIONS YOU'LL RECEIVE  These suggestions gently continue the work long after the episode ends:With every breath, your Higher Self becomes easier to hear, easier to trust, and easier to follow.Your body now recognizes the difference between what's complete and what's truly yours to carry forward.As you set down what no longer fits, space opens naturally for the new version of you that is already rising.//  JOURNAL PROMPTS  Let your Higher Self say even more + use these to anchor the shift. Sit quietly after the hypnotic journey and write the answers that come to you when you read these questions.What habits, beliefs, or emotional patterns made it harder for you to hear your Higher Self this year?What supported you the most in staying connected to your Higher Self this year? Even in small, quiet moments?What feeling, energy, or expression is beginning to rise within you next? What wants space to grow?//  TIME STAMPS :00 - 4:45 :: A few mins for me to tee-up this journey for you4:46 - End :: Journey to your Higher Self// MORE HYP JOURNEY INFO + PREP Access the PDF, hypnotic track and more here - https://www.jinaseer.com/session-prepEpisode 3 - Anatomy of a Past Life RegressionEpisode 214 - Awareness: Your New RealityEpisode 215 - Anatomy of a Hypnotic Journey: Another Lifetime, Higher Self & SuggestionEpisode 245 - A Soft Ending: Your 3-Journey Ritual for Releasing the Year | Seer Sessions #245//  THE  VIDEO  Another full-color sunrise from my backyard.
