Life does not always fall apart in neat, Instagram-worthy ways.Sometimes it blindsides you. Sometimes it knocks the air out of you. Sometimes it leaves your nervous system spinning and your mind searching for answers.In this episode I break down what coaching actually does for you when life kicks you in the junk — not by avoiding pain, but by helping you stay self-led inside of it.I share how I personally navigated a recent season I did not ask for, and the exact mindset and emotional tools that made it possible to stay grounded, connected, and clear when nothing felt easy.This episode is not about positive thinking or fixing yourself. It is about learning how to work with your thoughts and emotions instead of letting them run your life.In this episode, we talk about:Why painful experiences do not mean you are doing life wrongHow coaching helps you stay self-led during hard seasonsThe difference between facts and the stories your brain tellsWhy “neutral” does not mean harmless or okayHow to observe your thoughts and emotions without being consumed by themWhy mindset work does not mean avoiding hard feelingsHow to feel emotions safely instead of suppressing or fixing themThe difference between respecting a thought and agreeing with itWhy not every thought deserves your obedienceThe powerful question that brings you back to yourself when everything feels confusingKey takeaway:You do not need to eliminate hard thoughts or emotions to move forward. You need the ability to stay with yourself, supervise your mind, and choose how you respond — one situation, one thought, one feeling, one choice at a time.That is what coaching builds.Resources:Free Feelings Video + Worksheet: Click HERE to grab it.Jessica's book, In Pursuit Order my #1 New Release book In PursuitGet your complimentary copy of The Unblocked Journal to help bring awareness to perfectionist thinking and what it's creating in your life.Join My Do The Thing Community Want more support?If this episode resonated with you and you want deeper, personalized support, you can learn more about working with me at jessicasmarro.comStay connected:Follow me on Facebook & Instagram: @jessicasmarroShare this episode and tag me with what landed for youIf you enjoyed today's conversation, please follow, rate, and review Unblocked.

What does it really mean to trust yourself when your plans collapse, your body feels unreliable, and fear starts sounding logical?In this conversation, transformational life coach and bestselling author Cori Sartori shares what she learned about self-trust, mindset, and aligned action after walking through breast cancer, fertility challenges, major health crises, and rebuilding her life from the inside out.We talk about why “just trust yourself” is often misunderstood, how to tell the difference between intuition and fear, and what it looks like to move forward when clarity doesn't come first.

Julie Potiker leads you through this guided meditation focusing on loving kindness. She completes the meditation with the poem, "Small Kindness", by Denusha Lameris.Small Kindness, by Denusha LamerisI've been thinking about the way, when you walkdown a crowded aisle, people pull in their legsto let you by. Or how strangers still say “bless you”when someone sneezes, a leftoverfrom the Bubonic plague. “Don't die,” we are saying.And sometimes, when you spill lemonsfrom your grocery bag, someone else will help youpick them up. Mostly, we don't want to harm each other.We want to be handed our cup of coffee hot,and to say thank you to the person handing it. To smileat them and for them to smile back. For the waitressto call us honey when she sets down the bowl of clam chowder,and for the driver in the red pick-up truck to let us pass.We have so little of each other, now. So farfrom tribe and fire. Only these brief moments of exchange.What if they are the true dwelling of the holy, thesefleeting temples we make together when we say, “Here,have my seat,” “Go ahead—you first,” “I like your hat.”-Denusha LamerisFind out more about using mindfulness in everyday life through Julie's books, "SNAP: From Calm to Chaos", and "Life Falls Apart, But You Don't have To: Mindful Methods for Staying Calm in the Midst of Chaos".

What happens when you lose your identity in a new country, face 65 consecutive rejections, and your creative voice gets buried under the weight of just surviving? Laura Pilcher, actress, author, and ICF-certified coach, shares her raw journey from Melbourne to America—and how creativity became her lifeline when everything else fell apart.In this deeply vulnerable conversation, Laura reveals:Why creativity isn't just for artists—it's a life force everyone needs to surviveHow she rewrote her entire book after getting dropped by her literary agentThe difference between grief and depression (and why most creatives are actually grieving)Why we shut down creativity during pain—and how to awaken it againThe "mansion with many rooms" approach to finding your creative voiceHow rejection taught her resilience and audacity in a saturated worldThis episode is for you if:You've lost touch with your creative self and don't know how to find it againYou're processing grief, loss, or major life transitionsYou feel stuck in the "acquisitions track" and disconnected from who you really areYou need permission to be a beginner again—to skip, dance, paint, or create badlyYou're afraid of judgment and need to "embrace the cringe"Glenn and Phyllis explore how creativity connects directly to identity, emotional health, and relationship wellness. This isn't about becoming an artist—it's about reconnecting with the part of you that says "there I am."About Laura Pilcher:Laura Pilcher is an actress, author, and ICF PCC-certified coach who has performed on London's West End and now helps creative souls reclaim their voice. Her debut book Audacious Artistry: Reclaim Your Creative Identity and Thrive in a Saturated World releases through a London publisher after a journey of resilience that included 65+ rejections and completely rewriting her manuscript.Mentioned in this episode:Brené Brown's research on creativity as life forceDr. Echo Hill on grief vs. depressionWill Palomo on creativity as "connecting the seemingly unconnected"Diane Collards' I Choose to ForgiveResources:Get the Core Emotion Wheel: www.connectioncodes.co/podcastBook a Connection Codes Coach: https://connectioncodes.co/coachesFind Laura's book Audacious Artistry at Barnes & Noble, Waterstones (UK), Blackstone's (Australia), and all major booksellersLearn more: www.larabiancapilcher.comKeywords: mental health, emotional wellness, creativity and identity, overcoming rejection, marriage communication, grief vs depression, emotional regulation, relationship coaching, creative identity crisis, finding yourself again, emotional health tools, leadership development, creative resilience

In this powerful and honest episode of What Are You Made Of?, Mike “C-Roc” sits down with Dr. Toby Brooks, a performance scientist, professor at Baylor, and host of the Becoming UnDone podcast, to explore what it truly means to rise when life, work, and identity start to fall apart. Toby shares his roots in rural Illinois, the grit and work ethic passed down from his coal miner father, and the formative lessons he learned as an athletic trainer working everywhere from the NFL to middle school sports. Together, Mike "C-Roc" and Toby dive into the tension between relentless hard work and the often-overlooked power of surrender, using memorable stories about “letting the paint dry,” data versus perception, and why progress isn't always reflected in the numbers we fixate on. The conversation expands into health optimization, recovery, ethics in performance enhancement, and how personalized protocols—whether in fitness, nutrition, or life—can unlock sustainable growth. This episode is a thoughtful blend of science, real-world experience, and raw authenticity, offering listeners practical insight and renewed perspective on how to pursue success without losing themselves in the process.Website- tobybrooksphd.comAdditional Social Media Links/Handles:https://www.instagram.com/tobybrooksphd/https://linktr.ee/tobybrooksphd?utm_source

What do you do when you're blindsided by unexpected and total life changes? I'm talking about the kind that shatter your sense of identity, happiness, and success all at once. How do you manage those overwhelming emotions and find a direction again? In this episode, you'll learn just that: how to grow and heal when everything falls apart, find direction when you're feeling trapped, and rebuild your sense of well-being for a new version of love, happiness, and success. I'm joined by Maya Shankar, a cognitive scientist, creator of the podcast A Slight Change of Plans, and the first Behavioral Science Advisor to the United Nations. Maya brings both personal experience and research-backed insight to the question so many people ask during major life transitions: Why does this feel so exhausting, disorienting, and scary — and how do I move forward without losing myself? Together, we talk about why life changes often feel like a threat to your identity, why uncertainty can drain your energy, and why there's no single “right” way to grieve after major life events. Maya shares gentle, practical ways to begin healing that don't require pushing yourself to be positive, rushing the process, or overhauling your life when you're already tired. As you listen, I'd invite you to reflect on this: When so much has changed at once, what parts of you are still here? And what might become possible if this chapter isn't the end of your story, but the beginning of something different? Episode Breakdown 00:00 When Life Falls Apart 01:23 Why Total Life Changes Feel So Destabilizing 01:55 Maya's Story: Losing Big Dreams During Major Life Changes 07:10 How Life Transitions Threaten Identity 07:44 Finding Your “Why” After Everything Changes 11:17 There's No One Right Way To Grieve Life Events 15:51 Why Uncertainty Is So Exhausting During Life Changes 22:33 A Self-Affirmation Tool For Identity After Total Life Changes 28:20 Moral Elevation: Finding Hope During Difficult Life Transitions 37:14 Why Community Helps You Heal After Major Life Events 42:35 Shared Psychology: Different Life Changes, Same Emotional Truths 45:40 Share This Episode With Someone Navigating Change If you're living through total life changes right now and could use steady, thoughtful support as you find your footing again, I want to offer you something. I've created a simple way for you to schedule a free consultation that's designed to truly meet you where you are. By answering three quick questions, you'll be personally matched with the counselor or coach who's best suited for what you're navigating right now. This is a private, secure process, it only takes a couple of minutes, and it's my way of making sure you don't have to figure all of this out on your own. If this episode helped you put language to what you've been carrying, consider this an open door. xoxo, Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby Growing Self

What do you do when life has been hard for a long time—and you're trying to keep homeschooling anyway?In this episode, I respond to a heartfelt question from a mom who believes deeply in intentional motherhood, homeschooling, and building a beautiful life with her children… but has been knocked down by a season of real hardship and healing.We talk about:Why happiness can feel inaccessible after dark or difficult seasonsWhy feeling constantly annoyed is often a sign of exhaustion, not failureHow the pressure of the “shoulds” keeps us stuckWhy you don't restart homeschooling the same way you paused itAnd how joy, peace, and motivation return gently—not through forceThis is not a push-through-it conversation. It's a compassionate, honest discussion about nervous system regulation, healing, parenting, and what homeschooling can look like when capacity is limited.If you've been wondering how to move forward without rushing yourself, this episode is for you.

Give in to it. There are plentyof lives and whole towns destroyed or aboutto be. We are not wise, and not very oftenkind. And much can never be redeemed.Still, life has some possibility left. Perhaps thisis its way of fighting back, that sometimessomething happens better than all the richesor power in the world. It could be anything,but very likely you notice it in the instantwhen love begins. Anyway, that's often the case.Anyway, whatever it is, don't be afraidof its plenty. Joy is not made to be a crumb.This New Year, by James Crewscrumbs will no longer be enough.You want whole loaves of joy,feast of exuberance laid outon the table of each waiting day.You want awe for the smallest things—drop of honey lifted off the platewith a fingertip, that kiss of summer,and Ball jars of bone broth leftto cool on the back of the stove,golden and healing.

Tony Robbins shares a truth that will stop you in your tracks: every limiting belief you have comes down to one core fear, and once you understand it, everything changes. The conversation moves from his childhood in LA where four different fathers shaped his identity, to the night he ran 17 miles home doing incantations that built the unstoppable force he is today. You'll learn why most people approach breakthroughs in reverse order, starting with strategy when they should start with state, and how that single mistake keeps them locked in place. Tony breaks down the hero's journey we're all on, whether we realize it or not, and why the challenges destroying you right now are actually calls to adventure that will make you stronger than you ever imagined.Join Tony at the Time To Rise Summit and step into your next level of growth, clarity, and connection.Explore this breathtaking Bel Air estate at Carolwood Estates.Tony's books:Awaken the Giant WithinNotes from a FriendUnlimited PowerMoney: Master the GameUnshakeable: Your Financial Freedom PlaybookThe Path: Accelerating Your Journey to Financial FreedomLife ForceThe Holy Grail of InvestingIn this episode you will:Break through the limiting belief that you're not enough by recognizing it's really a fear that you won't be lovedMaster the art of building internal certainty so you never have to rent it from external circumstances like jobs, money, or other people's approvalDiscover why your mental and emotional state controls your story, and your story controls what strategies you'll even attempt in lifeTransform your relationship with stress by understanding the difference between managing circumstances and creating your lifeUnlock championship biochemistry in your own body by understanding how testosterone and cortisol create the state of peak performanceFor more information go to https://lewishowes.com/1875For more Greatness text PODCAST to +1 (614) 350-3960More SOG episodes we think you'll love:Lewis Howes [SOLO]Dr. Caroline LeafJim Curtis Get more from Lewis!

The Book of Ruth doesn't begin with hope fulfilled, it begins with loss. This week, we talk about what it means to trust God when life falls apart and heaven feels silent. If you're in a chapter one season, this story reminds us: God is not finished yet.

The book of Ruth opens with tragedy, no mention of God, and no relief from the hardship. Naomi has lost her husband, her sons, and is in the foreign land of Moab outside of the Promised Land. Yet, the Lord is present in the struggle. In the bitter providence that has no explanation, the Lord is still good and He is still God. He is the same today and always, that however life leads us - He remains.

Breathe in goodness, strength, love, hope - whatever it is you need right now - and then send it out into the world. Julie Potiker completes her meditation with some words about Chanukah.As we come out of meditationand return to the movement of the day,we remember that this is the week of Chanukah —the week when light is kindled, night by night.Before any flame is struck,we pause with what the light represents:a people who have known loss and fear,and who continue to choose presence and endurance.We carry the memory of thosewho were killed simply for being who they were,and we hold that memory with care.When evening comes,and the candles are kindled,may they remind us that light does not rush —it is tended, protected, and renewed.May we move through this dayas quiet bearers of that light,choosing dignity over despair,and awareness over numbness.May the light we will kindle tonightbegin its work in us now.-Julie Potiker Find out more about using mindfulness in everyday life through Julie's books, "SNAP: From Calm to Chaos", and "Life Falls Apart, But You Don't have To: Mindful Methods for Staying Calm in the Midst of Chaos".

Settle in to peace and quiet through this guided meditation led by Julie Potiker. She competes the meditation with the poem, "Why read poetry if it won't make you rich?", by Joy SullivanWhy read poetry if it won't make you rich?For starters, your soul will get bigger.Your love, more terrible and luminous. Soon, you'll say tender things at parties after too much champagne. A sidewalk quince, wet with midnight, will stop you in your tracks. In time, you'll find the perfect metaphor for your child's face. All at once, you'll see the world and want it again: clothes flapping on the line, lilacs strewn and seeding, the luck of worms. An artichoke with its heart torn hot and steaming from the throbbingcrown will suddenly turn you on.—Joy SullivanFind out more about using mindfulness in everyday life through Julie's books, "SNAP: From Calm to Chaos", and "Life Falls Apart, But You Don't have To: Mindful Methods for Staying Calm in the Midst of Chaos".

Here's the real question: Do you think the sorrow diminished, or extinguished, the joy? Does your pain diminish, or extinguish, your joy? There's always a boatload of pain in the middle of our Christmas stories. Families that are not at peace. Maybe there is someone who can't come home, or won't come home, or someone you lost. Maybe there is pain because you couldn't give the gifts you wanted, or maybe the gifts you did give were unwanted. For many, the apparent joy of others only intensifies the loneliness and unhappiness they themselves feel. So, does your pain diminish, or extinguish, your joy? Joy is easy in the context of a manger. Joy is easy when our choreography comes true. But what about when our plans are shattered. What about in the context of brokenness? Or what about in the face of evil? Is joy still possible in the context of the slaughter?

Bring compassion into your breath through this meditation led by Julie Potiker. She completes the meditation with the poem, "The Most Important Thing", by Marie Marchand from her book, Mostly Sweet, Lovely, Human Things.The Most Important ThingI asked the stars:What is the most important thing?The panorama of bright sentinels remainedsilent and just keep shining.So I repeated my question, this time imploringly:What is the most important thing?It was urgent. My time here is limited.I deserve clarity. I deserve truth.Summer's nightwind caressed my face.I accepted this show of earthly tenderness,of warm reassurance, but divinedno answer from the twinkling firmamentabove. The stars just kept shiningwith an irksome persistence.Maybe I didn't deserve an answer.Or maybe I wasn't approaching thiswith enough reverence. So, insteadof looking up, I bowed my headand looked within.What is the most important thing?I whispered so only I could hear. Then behindmy eyes, a blend of space and light emerged.The whole universe opened up inside of me.There was silence. There was peace.The stars aligned.And without makinga sound, they just kept shining.-Marie MarchandFind out more about using mindfulness in everyday life through Julie's books, "SNAP: From Calm to Chaos", and "Life Falls Apart, But You Don't have To: Mindful Methods for Staying Calm in the Midst of Chaos".

In this powerful and deeply honest conversation, Jess Connolly—author, podcaster, and speaker—invites us into a season of her life marked by heartbreak and uncertainty.  Jess opens up about the winter of 2023, when her husband experienced panic attacks, heart issues, and a mental health crisis. At the same time, her family was facing major loss as her stepfather passed away after heart surgery, while also preparing for a book release. Followed by one of her children walking through a dark trial. Jess brings so much truth and gentle encouragement to anyone walking through a season that desperately needs hope, not the shallow Christian clichés we often hear, but a deep and steady hope that God is with us in the valley. Here's some of what we cover: The myth of the “prosperity gospel of parenting” and why 1+2 does not always equal 3 The pressure to assign purpose to a painful season  Rethinking Psalm 23 and understanding the rod and the staff  Learning to lament: why anger expressed to God is actually intimacy An exclusive sneak peak at her next book!  Connect with Jess Connolly:  Instagram: Jess Connolly | Author + Bible Teacher (@jessaconnolly) Facebook: Jess Connolly Website: Jess Connolly Links Mentioned:   What Comes Next: By Jess Connolly Tired of Being Tired: By Jess Connolly It's Not Supposed to Be This Way: By Lysa TerKeurst Related Episodes: Sidetracked with Jess Connolly :: Cynthia and Heather [Ep 484] Your Body is GOOD :: Jess Connolly [Ep 329] Worth Repeating // Jess Connolly Featured Sponsors: Sex Ed Reclaimed: Sex Ed Reclaimed offers a full curriculum with lifetime access so with that mind, visit sexedreclaimed.com to get your family's video curriculum today.

In this episode, we explore one of the most comforting and misunderstood promises in Scripture: Romans 8:28. Even when life feels scattered, disappointing, or confusing, God is weaving every thread into something purposeful. Nothing is wasted. Not the pain, not the delay, not the setback. Today, your heart is going to rest in the truth that God is working all things together for your good — even the things you never would have chosen.Support Warfare Prayers Here

When life falls apart, it can feel like devastation. But what if the collapse isn't the end—but the beginning of your greatest transformation? In this episode, I explore a sacred truth; that what feels like destruction is often the construction of your most authentic self. Through the story of my own unraveling, I share what it means to meet yourself again after the identities you've built—wife, achiever, perfectionist—suddenly disappear. When the façade falls away, the real you finally has room to breathe. What we explore: Why collapse is often the universe's way of making space for truth The deeper meaning behind hitting “rock bottom” How to recognize the signs of disconnection before life forces your hand Why rock bottom isn't a punishment, but an initiation The three powerful questions that become your compass in reinvention If you're in a season of loss, ending, or uncertainty, this episode will remind you that you are not breaking—you are becoming. The pieces falling away are simply the ones that no longer belong to your truth. Connect with me: Newsletternancylevin.comInstagramFacebook

But what if those moments of collapse weren't the end, but an invitation to rebuild stronger, wiser, and more intentional than ever before? In this episode of The Motivation with Brendon Burchard Podcast, Brendon unpacks what truly derails us when life gets hard—and how to find clarity, strength, and meaning through the chaos.

What holds a relationship together when life falls apart? Most of us picture the happiest moments when we think about our partner, but what happens when tragedy hits? In this intimate conversation, Dr. Laura Berman shares how she and her husband weathered some of life's hardest storms together.  From dating him while she was caring for her young son with cancer, to the unimaginable loss of their son Sammy during the pandemic, Laura takes us inside the moments that tested their love, and the choices that kept them connected. Days after the death of their first child together, Sam pulled Laura close and said, “Most couples don't get through tragedies like this, but we will.”  It's a reminder that the strength of a relationship isn't just built in joy, it's forged in the fire of what you survive together.
