Sit in stillness, in silence, as Julie Potiker leads you through this guided meditation She completes the meditation with the poem, "Hope Waits Its Turn", by Shawn Avenigo Sanders.Like the number I pulled out from the take-your-turn dispenser at the DMV, Hope sits inside my pocket. It takes a seat in the green plastic chair, understanding there are other emotions ahead of it, each with their own urgency. Anxiety likes to hover near the counter,staring at the red flickering number on the wall, while Logic pretends to be in control, recalculating time as the now serving number grows.

In today's episode, we tackle the heavy topics of shame and guilt and how they impact our lives. Highlighting a unique perspective as a criminal defense attorney, this episode sheds light on how these feelings can affect our lives and identities. While guilt is connected to our actions, shame is a much deeper issue that attacks our self-worth. With insights from Dr. Brené Brown, I articulate the critical difference between guilt and shame: “Guilt is I did something bad; shame is I am bad.” This simple yet profound distinction reveals how shame can lead to a cycle of negative self-talk and emotional paralysis. There is Hope! I get to share practical strategies to break free from the shame spiral, including the power of vulnerability, empathy, and self-compassion. By sharing our stories and allowing ourselves to be vulnerable, we can start to dismantle the grip of shame. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by shame or guilt, this episode is a must-listen. It's a powerful reminder that healing is possible and that we all deserve compassion and understanding. If you would like some help with figuring out how to transform your life! I can help you create a vision for a life that you absolutely love living. Click here to arrange a session with me.

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.

Life can be messy—and sometimes, it feels like the floor drops right out from under us. Bestselling author Tracie Miles calls these moments “lifequakes”—those unexpected, painful events that shake our world and leave us feeling lost, stuck, or wondering where God is in the chaos. In this encouraging episode, Barb sits down with Tracie to talk about her powerful book, God's Got You: Embracing New Beginnings with Courage and Confidence. Tracie opens up about the personal lifequake that turned her world upside down, and shares practical steps and biblical truths that helped her move from heartbreak to hope, and from fear to faith. If you—or someone you love—are facing a season of uncertainty, grief, or change, this conversation will remind you that new beginnings are possible, and that God hasn't left your side for a moment.   RESOURCES FROM THIS EPISODE Connect with Tracie on Instagram God's Got You: Embracing New Beginnings with Courage and Confidence Visit Tracie's Website   ABOUT OUR SPECIAL GUEST   Tracie Miles is the bestselling author of seven books, director of COMPEL Pro Writers Training at Proverbs 31 Ministries, and the founder of the Living Unbroken Divorce Recovery program.

When life falls apart, the instinct is to fix everything around us. But what if the real transformation begins when we stop fixing and start listening? In this solo episode of The Nancy Levin Show, I explore what really happens beneath the surface when everything seems to fall apart — whether it's a divorce, job loss, burnout, or simply the feeling that something isn't right. Most of us are wired to chase external fixes, but these surface-level changes rarely lead to lasting relief. Instead, I invite you to turn inward and ask a radically different question: What is this crisis trying to show me about myself? From perfectionism and people-pleasing to over-responsibility and emotional avoidance, I unpack the deep-rooted patterns that often lead to breakdown. And I offer a new path — one rooted in slowing down, being with discomfort, and rebuilding from a place of presence and alignment. This isn't about bouncing back. It's about becoming who you were meant to be all along.   What we explore External fixes feel productive, but rarely heal the root cause. Crises are often invitations, not punishments. Patterns like people-pleasing and overachievement stem from early survival strategies — but they eventually lead us out of alignment.
 Healing requires slowing down, being with discomfort, and allowing clarity to emerge. Rebuilding your life starts by asking: Who am I becoming in this process? Feeling like life is falling apart? You don't have to figure it out alone. My coaching programs are designed to support your transformation from the inside out.

What if the chaos you're facing isn't an obstacle, but part of the path?

Choosing Faith When Life Falls Apart - Jonah 1

For June, National Age Without Apology Month, author and mindfulness expert Julie Potiker shares how practicing mindful self-compassion can help people be less critical and more accepting of themselves as they get older. Read on for details and information on booking her on your program! Make Peace With Your Older Self: Be Mindful of Self-Talk Around Aging Practicing mindfulness can protect our health and improve our quality of life as we age, research finds. Practicing mindful self-compassion can also help us be more accepting and less critical of ourselves and our appearance as we age, Julie says. “We owe it to ourselves to be mindful of our self-talk around aging and to give ourselves the gift of making peace with the aging process,” Julie says. A Certified Mindful Self-Compassion Teacher from the University of California, San Diego, Julie is author of “SNAP! From Chaos to Calm and creator of SNAP, a simple four-step process anyone can use to calm anxiety, worry, and other troubling emotions. This includes negative self-talk — what Julie calls our “inner critic” — that tells us we are old and/or out of shape when we look in the mirror. Sound familiar? Try this: Soothing touch: Place your hands where you find it soothing, as a reminder that it's hard to feel this way; you are giving yourself love, and the relief of oxytocin and endorphins being released will help calm your nervous system. I place both hands on my heart, but feel free to find whatever point works for you. Name the emotion: Sometimes this is a tangled mess, so see whether you can tease it apart. It might be embarrassment, shame, an icky feeling of vulnerability, or it could be sadness. Name it to tame it — so it's out in the open and you can work with it. Act: Ask yourself these two questions: 1. What do I need to hear right now? Then tell it to yourself. 2. What do I need to do right now to shift my mood? Then choose what you can reasonably do in that moment. This could be positive self-talk, loving kindness phrases, or gratitude practice — anything to make a shift so that you feel the truth that you are enough just as you are in this moment. Praise: By being loving to yourself, as you would be to a dear friend, you are bathing yourself in compassion. You deserve it. “What you think changes your brain,” Julie says. “If you talk to yourself with gentleness and compassion and you take a couple of moments to savor the good feelings your compassionate voice brings up in you, that positive mental state rewires your brain. It is a simple practice with profound results.” If you would like to speak with Julie, contact me: Klaudia Simon Media Booker | WasabiPublicity.com 828.749.3200 east coast office | 828.817.4034 mobile klaudia@wasabipublicity.com Online Media Kit: JuliePotiker.OnlinePressKit247.com Public Site: MindfulMethodsForLife.com About Julie Potiker: Julie Potiker is a mindfulness expert with extensive certifications and teacher training in a variety of tools and methods, including Mindful Self-Compassion.

Breathe in as you relax into this calming meditation led by Julie Potiker. She completes the meditation with her poem, "Whispers of a Fifth Force".Whispers of a Fifth Force, by Julie PotikerIn Idaho's early morning hush,I settle into the Adirondack chair by the fire pit,fast running river less than a pickle-ball court away,my slippered feet rest on the cool back of a boulder,smooth and steady beneath me.Above, the Aspen leaves shimmer—green coins rustling their soft applausein the mountain breeze.A plump American Robin bounces a spindly branch nearby. Gravity holds me gently,as it always has,the known forces humming their familiar song:electromagnetism weaving light across the sky,strong and weak nuclear threads binding the world within. Resting my head on the chair, I contemplate Far beyond this stillness,Bennu drifts—its ancient body charting paths we can measure,paths we can question.Physicists tilt their heads,listening for the quiet slip of anomaly,searching for a fifth force hidden in the mathematics. So far, Bennu holds its silence.But Apophis approaches—another messenger tumbling closer,another chance to findwhat might have always been there. Since the 1980s they have wondered—Could it be anti-gravity?Could it be quintessence?A hidden thread explaining dark energy, or light dark mattera secret folded into the fabricof everything we thought we knew. I breathe in the pine-sweet air,feel the steady earth beneath my feet,The cool breeze gently touches my face—and in the rustling leaves above,the universe whispers:there may yet be more.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".
