We're baaaaack! Season 6 is here, we've rebranded, and we're going deeper.I'm so excited to share everything we have in store this season — it's going to be less about finding the “right” answers, and more about asking better questions.We're talking about self-discovery, relationships, identity, change and uncertainty, health, purpose, communication, and what it actually means to build a life that feels like your own.I'm kicking things off by sharing the mini identity crisis I had this summer about how I'm showing up in the world, if the way I'm spending my time is aligned with the person I want to be, and the questions I explored to reflect on how I want to move forward. So today, I'm sharing six prompts to help you gain clarity and insight into how you want to live, where you are right now, and what might have gotten lost along the way. Tune in to explore:How do I want to be remembered? Is there a gap between the person you want to be and how you're actually showing up?Who are you when no one is looking? Do you like the person you are when you're alone and no one is watching?What version of yourself do you miss? What parts of your younger self might be worth reconnecting with?What will you miss about this chapter of your life? How can remembering that your current life will eventually become a memory help you appreciate the present?What is your insecurity trying to tell you? Are insecurity, envy, and comparison clues that you're living out of alignment or self-abandoning?What stories are you still telling yourself? And what would happen if you started gathering evidence that those stories aren't necessarily true?This episode is an invitation to pause, reflect, and reverse-engineer your life around these potent questions. Grab a journal, take a walk, or discuss these prompts with someone you love. You might discover something you already knew but had forgotten.Welcome to Season 6. I'm so happy you're here!

Only a fraction of small businesses make it past the five-year mark, so I wanted to break down some strategies and mindsets that have helped me stay resilient through the highs and lows of business ownership as I look forward to year 8. This episode is shared from the private podcast inside my Ascent coaching program. Inside we talk about: Making decisions like your future selfHow happiness isn't a constant - and why that can be a good thingRemoving the shoulds from your business How rest is not a luxury, but required Journal Prompts: What are some actions and decisions the future version of you running your ideal business would make, that you could apply to your business today? What “shoulds” are weighing on you? What can you do instead to achieve a similar outcome, in a way that feels more fun? What does “fully booked” mean to you? How does this translate to revenue and/or client goals? What are some boundaries you can put around your business to ensure that you have time for rest?

Feel the Fear and Audition Anyway Working actors are not fearless actors. They have just learned how to move when they are afraid. This morning I woke up with what I can only describe as generalized anxiety. And I knew I could take a shower and stew in my own anxiety juices for a while, or I could just do something. So I attacked the email inbox. About 20 minutes later I was like, woo, I am ready, I am going. The anxiety was gone and I was zip-zopping through my day. That is the whole thing. It is not about feeling confident first. Confidence usually comes after the action. Fear Is Not Always a Stop Sign Fear can mean growth. Visibility. Vulnerability. Possibility. I have come to look at fear as an indication of what still needs to be worked on in me. For actors this shows up in a few ways. Avoiding self-tapes because perfectionism feels safer. And what do I always say about perfectionism? Perfectionism leads to procrastination leads to paralysis. Waiting to be fully ready before taking action. You are going to be waiting a long time. Shrinking after one bad class or one audition you feel you messed up. I cannot tell you how many auditions I walked out of thinking that is never going to happen, and then I booked the job. Fear does not mean stop. Sometimes it means you are finally moving. You are out of your comfort zone. And life and adventure begin outside your comfort zone. Perfectionism Is Just Fear in a Different Outfit Perfectionism often hides fear of judgment, fear of rejection, fear of being visible. It keeps you stuck in preparation instead of participating. And what we want to be doing is participating. In life, in our scenes, in the business. The 10 Seconds of Courage Exercise Sometimes you only need 10 seconds to send the email or upload the tape. Here is the exercise. Say to yourself, for the next 10 seconds I am going to do what I would do if I were brave. And then do it. Push the click. Send the email. Do the thing. You have 10 seconds. Journal Prompts What opportunities have you talked yourself out of lately? And what if discomfort was not proof that you were failing? What if it was proof that you were moving forward or that you had something to learn? The Bottom Line The entertainment industry rewards resilience. Rejection, waiting, and uncertainty are all built into this business. Emotional resilience matters just as much as talent does, because your talent is not going to get to shine unless you are emotionally resilient. Your dream career may live on the other side of that uncomfortable visibility. Feel the fear and move anyway. Want to Keep the Conversation Going? I am introducing something called buddy coaching.

In this episode, Lisa explores the tension between control, trust, and surrender in intentional weight loss and in life. Opening with a personal check-in about failing to record on her planned days, she uses her own experience of surrendering to misaligned energy to illustrate the episode's central thesis: true trust means trusting the flow of life itself, not just ourselves. She introduces her framework of total responsibility, partial control — no one can do this work for you, but you don't have complete dominion over your behaviors, biology, or circumstances. Lisa reinforces that the skill set required for sustainable weight loss isn't willpower — it's courage, vulnerability, and the quality of the relationship you hold with yourself in your hardest moments.Topics Include:Total Responsibility, Partial Control Behavior-Oriented vs. Outcome-Oriented GoalsEmotional Eating & the Animal Brain Tender Self-Compassion in Real Time[2:22] Lisa reflects on surrendering her plan to record when the energy wasn't aligned, describing this as no longer being willing to bulldoze her feelings in service of a schedule and naming the episode's core theme: the dance between control, trust, and surrender. She frames control as an illusion that extends beyond the self. [13:30] Lisa returns to the Brené Brown vulnerability framework and her AI conversation about being in the arena, connecting it to the episode's central themes of control, trust, and surrender in intentional weight loss. She reads from her AI conversation and applies Brené's definition of vulnerability (uncertainty, risk, and emotional exposure) to the pursuit of intentional weight loss goals.[15:20] Lisa recommends behavior-oriented goals over outcome-oriented goals, noting that outcomes involve factors outside one's control, while behaviors are where real agency lives. She reads that vulnerability is not winning or losing, but "having the courage to show up when you can't control the outcome." Lisa emphasizes that to pursue safe, sustainable intentional weight loss, one needs an internal emotional infrastructure to ride the inevitable roller coaster.[21:53] Lisa declares that strengthening the skill of trusting, believing, and surrendering is not about food or weight loss but about reestablishing a secure attachment with God, the universe, and the flow of life itself. She introduces her core framework for the episode: total responsibility, partial control — you are responsible for this journey, but you only have partial control over how it unfolds.  [41:01] Lisa reframes the work: the responsibility is not to bulldoze the fear, but to make what is terrifyingly scary feel safe enough to approach — because neglect cycles on itself, making things scarier the longer they're avoided. She brings it back to fierce self-compassion: to be vulnerable, to name the fear — and fierce self-compassion means calling upon your bravery not to fight the fear, but to soften into it.[52:07] Lisa closes the courage section: the question always comes back to "How are you being with yourself to make this happen?" — because if unaddressed fear is running the system, showing up safely and sustainably will remain out of reach. She illustrates that showing remorse without punishment is possible and is precisely what the relationship with the self requires.[1:11:34] Lisa closes with the through-line of the entire episode: "How am I with myself in the hardest moments, when I feel the least in control?" — answering simply: lovingly. That quality of self-relationship is what makes safe, sustainable weight loss a reality, not a theory. ⁠Join Us on Patreon!⁠ ⁠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

In this episode, Lisa builds on themes from previous episodes to explore accountability, remorse, guilt, failure, and vulnerability in the context of intentional weight loss. Lisa argues that genuine remorse is not a sign of self-hatred but a critical expression of self-love and the foundation for repairing the relationship you have with yourself. Lisa introduces failure as another near enemy, encouraging listeners to acknowledge when they've fallen short of a goal without collapsing into the identity of being a failure. She closes with a personal reflection on how setting goals is inherently vulnerable and frames intentional weight loss as an ongoing emotional roller coaster that demands self-compassion as its most essential tool.Topics Include:Remorse vs. Shame Intention vs. ImpactFailure as Information Goals as Vulnerability[2:48] Lisa bridges from the previous episode into a reflection on remorse, drawing a parallel to how courts consider remorse not for determining guilt, but for understanding a person's capacity for rehabilitation and applies this to the inner relationship. She connects remorse to trustworthiness, arguing that a person who acknowledges impact and takes responsibility becomes someone the self can trust — a prerequisite for sustainable, safe weight loss.[9:23] Lisa draws on Brené Brown's shame/guilt distinction to define remorse as the bridge between them: shame attacks identity, while remorse protects the relationship. She shares a personal story of waking up after overeating, catching herself spiraling into calorie math, and instead asking "What happened to you last night?" — which immediately brings tears and honest answers about fear and anxiety.[22:16] Lisa frames reconciliation after self-harm as turning toward rather than away, stating that without doing so, there is no reason to believe tomorrow will look any different than today. She introduces guilt as another near enemy, noting that anti-diet culture can shame people for feeling guilt, creating a spiral of shame-about-shame that prevents learning and integration.[32:18] Lisa reads an Instagram post distinguishing shame-based guilt from self-honoring guilt. She reframes self-honoring guilt as self-love in action: useful, adaptive, and capable of motivating aligned choices from a place of care rather than fear.[33:29] Lisa applies intention vs. impact to anti‑diet culture. She acknowledges anti‑diet culture's good intentions while naming its impact: more shame, fear, and hypervigilance for many people. Lisa outlines the physical and emotional practices that create internal safety. Lisa shows how this acknowledgment restores trust.  [41:53] Lisa introduces failure as the next near enemy and she begins building the case that failure, honestly named, is not the same as being a failure. She compares intentional weight loss to athletic performance: just as athletes study the tape after a loss, she encourages listeners to review what happened without shame and extract the lesson to do something different next time.[54:00] Lisa introduces how having goals is inherently vulnerable, and shares how training for a HYROX race surfaced deep fear of failure; including the urge to not tell anyone about the goal, to avoid being seen in it. She reads an AI reflection on goal-setting as vulnerability. She frames trying, failing publicly or privately, and being seen as acts of courage.[1:04:05] Lisa applies this directly to intentional weight loss: you cannot simultaneously pursue something you care about and pretend you don't care because caring is what drives alignment, and alignment requires vulnerability. ⁠Join Us on Patreon!⁠ ⁠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

In this episode, Lisa explores how self‑perception, emotional regulation, and food noise intersect with trauma‑informed healing. She begins by naming how early nonverbal messages shape self‑belief, using the “visual cliff” experiment to show how fear‑based cues teach us to distrust our own power. She expands this into the internal system: parts that feel scared, exiled, or overwhelmed need attunement, not dismissal. Lisa demonstrates how intention and impact both matter in self‑relationship, showing how conditional presence, imitation of surrender, and defensive self‑talk undermine safety. She teaches listeners how to create emotional safety through regulated communication, compassionate curiosity, and fierce self‑compassion.Topics Include:Internal Family SystemsNear enemies in healingMuting Food noiseFierce self‑compassion and repair[1:30] Lisa describes how children absorb external messages without question, shaping lifelong beliefs about safety and power. She explains how Elsa internalizes the belief that her powers are dangerous because she was met with fear instead of encouragement. Lisa describes babies crawling toward a perceived drop and how parental facial expressions determine whether they explore or freeze. She explains how fear‑based cultural messages teach people to fear their own bodies, choices, and power.[9:12] Lisa teaches how to handle big feelings during a work meeting. She models regulated self‑talk: “I see you. I hear you. I'll come back to this when I have space.” Lisa shows how clarifying “I'm coming back to you” transforms the internal dynamic from neglect to connection.[15:51] Lisa shares the difference between  imitation vs. true surrender. She recounts a part saying, “You're only willing to feel me because you want me to leave,” revealing how parts detect conditional presence. Lisa explores giving vs. receiving in emotional regulation. She explains how people often know how to give support but struggle to receive it even from themselves.[26:48] Lisa transitions to impact vs. intention. She explains that intention matters but impact also matters, and sometimes impact is what must be repaired. Lisa models how the body communicates rupture. She imagines the body saying, “I know you didn't know better and I still don't trust you,” showing how repair begins with acknowledging harm. She explains how to own harm without collapsing into shame.[33:29] Lisa applies intention vs. impact to anti‑diet culture. She acknowledges anti‑diet culture's good intentions while naming its impact: more shame, fear, and hypervigilance for many people. Lisa outlines the physical and emotional practices that create internal safety: “I see you. I hear you. I'm with you.” Lisa shows how this acknowledgment restores trust.  [46:00] Lisa returns to food noise and near enemies. She explains how intentional weight loss behaviors can resemble dieting, and how near enemies help clarify the difference. Lisa shares the distinction between healthy food awareness and intrusive, compulsive food noise. [55:49] Lisa explains food noise as hunger or anxiety. She shows how intrusive food thoughts can signal underfeeding or anxiety, not pathology. Lisa reframes food noise as communication and warns against hitting the mute button. She explains that muting food noise prevents reconnection with exiled parts and blocks sustainable healing.[1:08:03] Lisa describes how meeting fear and perfectionism with compassion naturally reduces food noise over time. She explains that sustainable weight loss requires eyes‑open awareness, not obsessive control or total avoidance. ⁠Join Us on Patreon!⁠ ⁠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

In this episode, we're talking about how to stop living your life based on everyone else's expectations and start getting clear on the life you actually want. Because you only get one life and your desires matter. In this episode:

In this episode of The Mindset Babe Podcast, we're breaking down manifestation from both a mindset and spiritual perspective. I'll show you why “what you focus on grows” isn't just a cute quote and how becoming more intentional with your thoughts can change the results you create in your life.In this episode, you'll learn:

Join me as we explore the Sturgeon Moon, from its connection to the ancient, prehistoric sturgeon fish to some of the other names associated with this full moon including the Hungry Ghost Moon. We will delve into the spiritual themes and symbolism surrounding this moon alongside the flowers, trees, herbs and crystals traditionally connected to its energy. We will also explore some of the fae beings linked to water and this time of year including the Nereids, discovering who they are and the mythology surrounding them. From there we will look at ways you might work with the Sturgeon Moon within your own life and witchcraft practice particularly around themes of reflection, legacy, abundance and what you wish to carry forward into the seasons ahead. To finish I share a River Stone Ritual by The Peculiar Brunette along with a collection of journaling prompts and a Tarot or oracle spread to help you connect more deeply with the energy of the Sturgeon Moon. River Stone Ritual - https://www.thepeculiarbrunette.com/august-sturgeon-moon-spiritual-meaning/?utm_source=Pinterest&utm_medium=organic The song referenced is Thank You by Alanis Morisette (I didn't even give the song title properly! Sorry I was on a tangent) ;-) Prayer to the Sturgeon Moon by The White Witch Parlour  ‘I call to the energies of the sturgeon moon, I give thanks for the warmth and abundant crops that summer brought but now I shall begin the preparation for winter, as the battle between light and dark begins, I find my own balance within. I pray the moon heal and calm my emotions for the month to come. As I open my heart to the flow of the universe and the lessons I may need to learn'  Journal Prompts referenced - What am I building in my life right now, and does it reflect the person I truly want to become?What have the experiences of this past season taught me about myself? What am I ready to leave behind as I begin moving towards the next season of my life? Which parts of myself have I previously tried to soften, hide or make smaller — and what would it look like to fully honour them instead? What traditions, practices, relationships or ways of living feel worthy of carrying forward with me? What do I hope will exist because I was here — through the love I gave, the knowledge I shared, the things I created or the people whose lives I touched? Tarot/oracle prompts - What has this season taught me? The wisdom, lesson or truth that has emerged through your recent experiences. What am I ready to leave behind?A pattern, attachment, belief, habit or version of yourself that has reached its natural ending. What am I being asked to carry forward? The quality, gift, practice, relationship or intention that will help shape the next season of your life. What am I building that will outlive this moment? A glimpse into the legacy you are creating through your choices, creativity, relationships or the way you move through the world.

If you're constantly overthinking, doubting yourself, or believing every negative thought your brain gives you, this episode is for you. In this episode of The Mindset Babe Podcast, we're breaking down a simple mindset shift that will help you stop letting negative thoughts control how you feel about yourself and your life.You'll learn:

Have you ever looked at your life and thought, “Why don't I feel good enough yet?”In this episode, I'm sharing a simple perspective shift that can completely change the way you see yourself and your life.If you've been feeling behind, struggling with your confidence, comparing yourself to other women, or constantly focusing on what's “wrong” with you, you need this conversation.In this episode, you'll learn:

Feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or like your brain is constantly thinking about everything you need to do?In this episode of The Mindset Babe Podcast, I'm sharing one simple mindset shift that has brought me so much peace. When your brain is focused on what's missing, what needs to get done, how far behind you feel, or everything that could go wrong, it's easy to spiral into anxiety and overwhelm.In this episode, you'll learn:

Before you move on to the next goal, take a moment to recognize the effort you've already made.In this Friday reflection, I encourage you to pause and appreciate how far you've come, not just this week, but throughout your entire journey. It's easy to focus on what still needs to be done, but growth happens when we acknowledge the small steps, the consistent effort, and the willingness to keep showing up.No matter what your week looked like, you've learned something. You've taken steps forward, adjusted when necessary, and continued building the life you want. As you head into the weekend, I hope you give yourself permission to slow down, catch your breath, and appreciate the person you're becoming.In this episode, I discuss:• Why taking time to appreciate your effort is an important part of growth.• How recognizing progress builds confidence for the future.• The value of reflecting on your week without judging yourself.• Why personal growth is about continuing to move forward, not being perfect.• How slowing down and taking a breath prepares you for what's next.Sign Up for the Journal PromptsIf you'd like to continue these conversations through personal reflection, sign up for my weekday Journal Prompts. They're designed to help you build greater self-awareness and intentionally apply these ideas to your own life.https://yourlevelfitness.com/email

What if success wasn't about getting everything right the first time?In this episode, I share why one of the most powerful mindsets you can adopt is simply, "Let's try it and see what happens." Whether you're pursuing a new goal, building a business, improving your health, or making a change in your personal life, the path rarely unfolds exactly as you imagined.Instead of viewing unexpected outcomes as failures, I encourage you to see them as part of the process. Every step you take provides new information, new opportunities, and a better understanding of what works for you. The key isn't having a perfect plan. It's trusting yourself enough to begin and adjusting as you learn along the way.Your journey is ongoing, and every experience helps shape what comes next.In this episode, I discuss:• Why taking the first step is often the hardest part of pursuing a goal.• How trying something new changes the way you experience uncertainty.• Why plans naturally evolve once you begin taking action.• The difference between learning through experience and labeling yourself as a failure.• How trusting yourself creates opportunities you couldn't have predicted from the beginning.Sign Up for the Journal PromptsIf you'd like to continue these conversations through personal reflection, sign up for my weekday Journal Prompts.

We've all said it before."That's just the way I am."Sometimes it's a way of describing ourselves. Other times, it's a way of avoiding a deeper question. In this episode, I invite you to become curious about the habits, reactions, and behaviors you've accepted as permanent.Instead of criticizing yourself or becoming defensive, what if you simply asked why? Why do I respond this way? Where did this habit come from? Is this still serving the person I want to become?We'll explore how curiosity creates opportunities for growth, why self-awareness is more productive than self-judgment, and how even small shifts in the way we respond can change our relationships, our confidence, and the way we experience everyday life.Growth doesn't begin by becoming someone else. It begins by understanding yourself a little better.In this episode, I discuss:• Why "that's just the way I am" can become an excuse that keeps us from growing.• The difference between approaching yourself with curiosity versus self-criticism.• How understanding your habits and reactions can lead to meaningful change.• Why small adjustments in your responses can improve your interactions with others.• How choosing who you want to become is more powerful than accepting who you've always been.Sign Up for the Journal PromptsIf you'd like to continue these conversations through personal reflection, sign up for my weekday Journal Prompts.

Getting offended is something we've all experienced. Sometimes it's obvious why something bothers us, and other times our reaction catches us by surprise.In this episode, I explore why it's worth paying attention to the things that offend us instead of simply dismissing the emotion or trying to avoid it. Rather than asking whether you're "right" or "wrong" for feeling offended, I encourage you to ask a different question. Why did this affect me the way it did?We'll also discuss the relationship between respect, boundaries, and personal responsibility, along with why understanding your own emotional responses can help you build greater self-awareness. The goal isn't to judge yourself. It's to better understand yourself.If you've ever found yourself saying, "That's just the way I am," this episode invites you to look a little deeper.In this episode, I discuss:• Why being offended can reveal important information about yourself.• The difference between setting healthy boundaries and expecting others to change.• How self-awareness helps you respond instead of simply react.• Why understanding your emotional triggers leads to personal growth.• The importance of being honest with yourself without judging yourself.Sign Up for the Journal PromptsIf you'd like to explore these ideas on a deeper level, sign up for my weekday Journal Prompts.

Every season of life brings change. Some chapters are winding down, others are just beginning, and sometimes it feels like you're standing right in the middle of both.In this episode, I want to remind you of something simple but powerful. You are going to get through whatever is in front of you.Rather than relying on temporary motivation or hype, I encourage you to trust yourself. You've already navigated every challenge you've faced up to this point. Even when things felt uncertain, you found a way forward. This next season is no different.We'll talk about why building confidence isn't about pretending everything is easy. It's about believing that you can adapt, learn, and keep moving forward one step at a time. My hope is that you leave this episode feeling encouraged, not because life will suddenly become easier, but because you already have the ability to handle what's ahead.If you're currently in a season of transition, this episode is for you.In this episode, I discuss:• Why every season of life brings new opportunities and new challenges.• The importance of trusting yourself instead of waiting to feel completely ready.• Why calm confidence often creates more lasting progress than short bursts of motivation.• How to move forward at a deliberate pace without burning yourself out.• A reminder that you've overcome every obstacle you've faced so far, and you can continue doing the same.Sign Up for the Journal PromptsIf you'd like to take these conversations a step further, sign up for my weekday Journal Prompts.

Welcome to the second episode of The Fearless Female podcast! Today's episode is all about knowing what you really want in this life, what you like doing, what lights you up - away from the shoulds. What would you do with all your time if no one was looking, if you didn't tell anyone what you were doing with your time, and if it was all about you?  I am sharing my journey through this reflection, one that came up in a journaling exercise on a day when I had no plans and I could do anything I wanted. Except instead of living it up, I was stuck and overwhelmed unable to really connect to what I wanted to do - this version of me, who I am right now.  I hope this episode starts a journey back to connecting to yourself, your heart and soul, and you as the main character of your story. Below are the 24 journal prompts I talk about in this episode. I am sharing them with you to enjoy too! Journal Prompts from episode:   What does living life to the fullest  look and feel like? What 3 goals do I have for myself this month? What is my summer bucket list? (Things I want to do because it will bring me happiness, not because I should want to do them!) What places would I like to visit this summer?  What do I find fun? Not what the trends are, not what other people think is fun, not what you should find fun, but what do you find fun? Summer is about life. Everything is in bloom. If your life is fully nurtured, nourished, in bloom, full of sunshine and happiness, what does it look like? If I could sign up for classes today, what classes would I take? What do I want to learn? What would feel fun and freeing to do consistently? Who am I when I am fully in bloom, giving off sunshine whenever someone meets me, at my lightest, most vibrant self? How much playtime do I currently have in my life? How can I carve out more and make it a priority? What am I afraid would happen if I did more of what I loved and made time for me and what I love doing? What am I curious about? What do I want to learn more of? What does living life I want to discover?  What did I love doing as a kid? What did I have most fun playing with? What could I spend hours doing? What did I want to do more of as a kid? And Why did I stop doing those things? What was I afraid of? Why did I feel I couldn't do them anymore? How will having more fun, being playful, taking time away from work add to my life experience? How will it help my writing? How will it help me grow? How can I take more time to relax away from screens? How can I enjoy nature more and quiet? What is zapping my unhappiness? What do I need to release that is in the way of more space in my life, my time, and my energy? There are 5 months left in 2026, what do I want my life to look like December 31, 2026?  Today, create a new vision board for your life. Make sure to add more play and things that light you up into your vision for your life. What is overwhelming you mentally right now? What do you need to do to create more mental space?  Where do you need more clarity in your life?  How has my life changed for the better? How am I living the life I've dreamed of living or how much closer am I to having what I desire? How have I grown and changed to be better ready for what I really want? What have my life lessons taught me up until now? What have I learned about myself? What are memories you have of the past that make you feel warm and fuzzy about who you were? When were you the happiest, having the most fun, and doing things you still think about today? What did you love about them? What is keeping you from doing more of what you love? What fears are you holding onto? What needs to shift and happen for you to create more space for the life you want? What are you ready to STOP doing? What is staling your energy, joy, integrity, happiness, confidence that needs to be released? What plans can you make to release them? Looking at your life right now, what do you love most about it? What feels like YOU? What lights you up? Consider your home, your activities, your relationships, careers, and hobbies. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Resources Created for You: Get Unstuck: The Mindset Assessment Workbook: https://katerinakormas.myflodesk.com/getunstuck The BECOMING Quarterly Journal and Planner: https://katerinakormas.myflodesk.com/vhbzuv5sg4 Future You Guided Visualization: https://katerinakormas.myflodesk.com/futureyou The Vision Board Workbook: https://katerinakormas.myflodesk.com/visionboardworkbook 31 Day Mindset and Confidence Journal: https://katerinakormas.myflodesk.com/mindsetandconfidencejournal The FREEDOM Masterclass - A 3-Part Video Series to Break Free and Confidently Create the Freedom-filled Life You Desire: https://katerinakormas.com/life-of-freedom-masterclass/ The BECOMING Masterclass - Get what you truly want in life and business and become a perfect match for inevitable success: https://katerinakormas.myflodesk.com/becomingmasterclass Website: https://katerinakormas.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/katerina.kormas Did you hear something you loved today? Leave a review, so others know what to expect from the show!

Some things stay on your plate long after they've stopped serving you. Not because they have to, but because somewhere along the way they became part of who you believe you need to be. The task isn't just a task anymore. It feels like proof that you're responsible, capable, caring, or enough.Today's journal is about slowing down long enough to notice what you're really carrying and why it still feels so heavy.Journal Prompts What feels heavy on your plate right now?Did you put it there yourself, or did it find its way onto your plate because someone asked you to, because everyone else was doing it, or because it felt like something you should do?Finish this sentence. By having this on my plate, it makes me a better....Then try the opposite.Without doing this, I would be...Now imagine taking it off your plate completely. What could you do with that space? Not what you'd replace it with. Just the space itself.Sometimes going this deep is all the permission you need to put something down. Other times it shows you there's something underneath that's been keeping it there all along.

The Turning Point Spread: A Litha Collective ReadingHappy Litha and Happy Summer Solstice!This special bonus episode is a collective oracle reading inspired by the energy of Litha—the longest day of the year and the sacred turning point between the reign of the Oak King and the Holly King.Using the Seasons of the Witch: Litha Oracle deck by Lorraine Anderson and Juliet Diaz, with artwork by Tiana Lukovic, I walk through a five-card spread I created called The Turning Point Spread. Together, we explore the themes of abundance, intuition, shadow work, authenticity, and the inner wisdom that emerges when we stop seeking validation outside ourselves.As I moved through this reading, one message appeared again and again:The power was never outside of you.Whether you're standing at a crossroads, dreaming about what's next, or feeling called toward a deeper version of yourself, this reading offers reflections and questions to carry with you into the darker half of the year.In this episode:✨ Where you are standing in your power right now✨ Why abundance and wholeness are not the same thing✨ Expanding your vision beyond inherited limitations✨ What you're being asked to release into the fire this Litha✨ Letting go of spiritual performance and embracing shadow work✨ The importance of your unique voice, gifts, and perspective✨ What wants to be born during the descent into the darker half of the year✨ The deeper lesson woven through every card in this readingCards Pulled

Delegation isn't usually a systems problem.Most people already know what they could hand off. They've thought about hiring. They've considered asking for help. They've downloaded the planner, created the SOP, or promised themselves they'll stop carrying so much.Yet somehow, everything ends up back on their plate.In this strategic journaling episode, we're exploring what makes letting go so difficult, even when the workload is unsustainable. Because the thing that's keeping you overwhelmed isn't always a lack of support. Sometimes it's a belief that makes doing more feel safer than letting go.Through a series of journaling prompts, you'll uncover what's keeping you stuck in the cycle of over-responsibility and begin identifying the deeper reason delegation feels so hard.Journal Prompts:What are you currently doing yourself, even though someone else could handle it? How does keeping it on your plate make you feel?Why haven't you handed it off yet? What's the real reason?What do you think you need in order to start delegating, or what are you already trying to help yourself trust and let go?Even though doing everything yourself leaves you exhausted, burnt out, and overwhelmed, how might it also be keeping you safe?A question to sit with after this episode:How has the belief underneath your need to do everything been shaping the way you work, lead, and show up in your life?Work with me:The Leaders Table: https://www.samanthapenkoff.com/leaders-tableBreakthrough Intensive: You already know you should slow down, delegate more, stop overcommitting & be emotionally present.

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

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

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.
