If you need a dash of hope or a dollop of inspiration this morning, I've got just the thing for you!
Most attorneys don't lack ambition. They're drowning in small, unresolved issues that quietly drain their energy, focus, and peace of mind. The overflowing inbox. The postponed difficult conversation. The underperforming team member. The health goals that never happen. Individually they seem minor, but together they create constant overwhelm. In this episode of Great Practice, Great Life, Steve Riley talks with Mark Powers, founder of Atticus, about a powerful yet simple solution: eliminating your "tolerations." Discover why overwhelm comes less from having too much to do and more from tolerating things below your standards, and learn practical ways to remove hidden drains so you can regain clarity, energy, and control. If you're a driven attorney who feels stuck or overwhelmed despite working hard, this episode shows you how removing what's draining you is often the fastest path to a great practice and a great life. ___________ In this episode, you will hear: A clear way to identify the hidden tolerations draining your practice and personal life Why naming a problem is often the most powerful first step Practical strategies to eliminate what's weighing you down The powerful connection between raising your standards and increasing your success When to eliminate, delegate, or consciously accept a toleration ___________ Subscribe & Review Never miss an episode.

What Are You Under the Influence Of? How Fear, Trauma & Other People's Opinions Keep You Stuck After Betrayal After betrayal, everyone seems to have advice. Leave. Stay. Fight for your marriage. Run. Forgive. Never trust again. But when your nervous system is overwhelmed, it's easy to absorb other people's certainty instead of listening to your own truth. In this episode, Lora explores how betrayal trauma increases suggestibility, why fear spreads so quickly, and how to reclaim your ability to think clearly, trust yourself, and make decisions from wisdom rather than panic. Drawing from her experience as an attorney, clinical hypnotherapist, and betrayal recovery coach, Lora explains why knowledge reduces fear, how hypnosis can help break the trance of trauma, and why discernment—not certainty—is the real path to healing. If you've ever wondered whether you're making decisions based on your own truth or someone else's story, this episode is for you. Top 3 Takeaways Betrayal Trauma Makes You More Suggestible. When your nervous system is overwhelmed, your brain naturally seeks certainty. That's why it's easy to absorb other people's opinions, fears, and experiences instead of trusting yourself. Discernment Is Different Than Fear. Fear demands immediate answers. Discernment allows reality to reveal itself over time. Healing isn't about becoming hypervigilant—it's about staying connected to yourself while the truth unfolds. Knowledge Creates Calm. Understanding your legal, financial, emotional, and relational options doesn't force a decision. It reduces fear, increases clarity, and helps you make choices from a place of confidence rather than panic. Favorite Quotes "When we're desperate for certainty, we start borrowing certainty from other people." "Discernment is the ability to stay connected to yourself while reality reveals itself." "Fear shrinks your world. Knowledge expands it." "Healing isn't about becoming fearless. It's about learning how to hear yourself again underneath the noise." LOVE THE SHOW?

If your income vanished tomorrow, would you intentionally recreate the life you're living right now? That's not just a thought experiment... it's the ultimate test of your self-sovereignty. Too many high-achieving moms are stuck in the "rat race" of circumstance, trading their most precious asset - time - for a version of success that doesn't actually make them feel alive. That's why I'm taking you back to the moment the rug was pulled out from under me, and I had to decide: keep chasing a career, or build my own brand of Money Making Magic that actually funds my freedom. We are crushing the "this or that" lie. You don't have to choose between financial abundance and fulfillment. You get to choose both. Push play, let's recalibrate, and let's design a reality you are obsessed with waking up to. PS. Let's align your inner world with the life you truly want
Will I Ever Feel Normal Again After Betrayal? One of the most common questions women ask after betrayal is: “Will I ever feel like myself again?” Because betrayal trauma and infidelity don't just break your heart — they disrupt your nervous system, your identity, your sense of safety, your routines, and even your perception of reality. In this honest and deeply grounding episode, Lora shares what healing after betrayal actually looks like — not the polished Instagram version, but the real, nuanced, nonlinear truth of nervous system recovery, emotional healing, and rebuilding self-trust after infidelity. She explores: why betrayal feels so destabilizing what trauma does to the brain and body why healing is quieter and more subtle than most people expect the real signs you're healing how to stop losing yourself in someone else's healing why peace eventually matters more than certainty what it truly means to stay true to yourself after betrayal This episode is compassionate, practical, validating, and full of the kind of honest insight women desperately need when they wonder if they'll ever feel okay again. Top 3 Takeaways Healing after betrayal is not about “never being triggered again” — it's about building the capacity to feel, regulate, recover, and stay connected to yourself. One of the biggest signs of healing is when betrayal stops being the center of your identity and you begin caring about your future again. Real healing is often quiet and gradual: sleeping through the night, laughing unexpectedly, trusting yourself faster, and choosing peace over constant certainty.

Why Marriage Counseling Can Backfire After Infidelity After betrayal, almost everyone says the same thing: “You two need counseling.” But what if rushing into couples therapy immediately after infidelity is actually making things worse? In this deeply honest and eye-opening episode, Lora Cheadle shares why betrayal is not simply a marriage problem — it's a nervous system injury, an identity crisis, and a reality-shattering trauma that requires stabilization before relationship repair. Drawing from her own experience recovering after her husband's multiple affairs, Lora explains why so many betrayed partners leave counseling feeling blamed, overwhelmed, emotionally flooded, or even more disconnected from themselves. She explores the “assumption trap” that infidelity is caused by relationship problems, why traditional couples counseling can unintentionally backfire early on, and what healing-focused support should actually prioritize first. This episode is not anti-therapy and it's not anti-marriage. It's a compassionate, trauma-informed conversation about why healing begins with you — your safety, your nervous system, your clarity, and your self-trust. If you've been betrayed and feel confused, pressured, dysregulated, or like you've completely lost yourself, this episode will help you understand why. Top 3 Takeaways Infidelity is not just a marriage problem. Betrayal shatters your sense of reality, identity, trust, and nervous system safety. Before working on the relationship, the betrayed partner often needs stabilization, orientation, and emotional safety first. Traditional couples counseling can unintentionally backfire early on. When therapy focuses too quickly on “relationship dynamics,” many betrayed partners leave feeling blamed, self-monitoring, emotionally flooded, or pressured to fix the relationship before their own trauma has been addressed. Healing starts with rebuilding yourself — not rushing decisions. Before deciding whether to stay, leave, forgive, reconcile, or rebuild the marriage, it's essential to regulate the nervous system, reconnect with self-trust, and create clarity from a grounded place instead of survival mode. Favorite Quotes “Infidelity is not a marriage problem. It is an individual's problem.” “People cheat because they can't meet their own needs.” “Marriage counseling assumes two regulated adults discussing relationship dynamics.” “Betrayal involves one deeply dysregulated person trying to survive the collapse of their reality.” “It's not about pretending everything is okay. It's about rebuilding you and your truth.” “When you're bleeding out, you stop the blood flow first.” “You don't need to rush your healing. But you do need LOVE THE SHOW?

Liz Long didn't set out to become a full-time traveler. After graduating college and starting a publishing career in Boston, she found herself burned out, anxious, and questioning the version of success she had been chasing. What started with pet sitting and budget travel eventually turned into a lifestyle built around freedom, wellness, meaningful relationships, and intentional living. Since then, Liz has traveled across more than 25 countries while finding creative ways to make long-term travel financially sustainable. In this episode, we talk about the realities of solo travel, loneliness, money, community, wellness, and what it actually takes to build a life you genuinely love instead of waiting for “someday.”Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/globetrotters-podcast--5023679/support.
Guest After 11 years at IBM, Brooke Erol left a "great job on paper" to pursue a more aligned, purpose-driven life. She founded Your Best Life Inc. to help professionals find meaning at work, and later Purposeful Business to support leaders in building people-centered organizations. She is the author of More Than A Paycheck and Create a Life You Love, and speaks globally on leadership and purposeful work. Summary In this conversation, career coach and author Brooke Erol explores the changing nature of work, fulfillment, and identity in an era shaped by burnout, layoffs, and artificial intelligence. Drawing from her own experience at IBM, she reflects on realizing early in her career that many people were "chasing the weekend" rather than finding meaning in their work. That realization eventually led her to write More Than a Paycheck, a guide designed to help individuals develop greater self-awareness and agency in their careers. Brooke argues that self-awareness is foundational to meaningful work, yet modern life leaves little room for reflection. She encourages people to intentionally create time to examine what energizes them, what no longer serves them, and which limiting beliefs may be shaping their choices. Throughout the discussion, she emphasizes that traditional career formulas—go to college, get a corporate job, retire happily—are no longer reliable in today's unstable job market. The conversation also examines the disruptive impact of AI, especially on younger workers and recent graduates, while highlighting the growing value of trade and skilled labor careers. Brooke encourages people to remain adaptable, continuously learn new skills, and consider side projects or entrepreneurial paths alongside traditional employment. The discussion closes with reflections on retirement, purpose, and identity. Brooke and Jeff agree that fulfillment comes not from stopping work entirely, but from continuing to contribute, learn, connect, and pursue activities that make life meaningful. The Essential Point Brooke's central message is that people must take greater ownership of their careers and lives by developing self-awareness, questioning inherited assumptions about work, and intentionally pursuing work that aligns with who they are. She also stresses that fulfillment and purpose are not luxuries reserved for retirement—they are essential parts of a healthy, sustainable life at every stage.

In this episode of The Traveling Therapist Podcast, I sit down with Lisa Bodenstein, a therapist, coach, and clinical supervisor who has been doing this since 2012, long before online therapy was even a thing.

From a supervision community to an ADHD book in progress to a creative retreat space in rural Italy, she's a great example of what's possible when you stop waiting for permission to do things differently.In This Episode, We Explore…How Lisa has practiced across South Africa, the UK, and Italy since 2012, and what she learned about navigating licensing along the way.Why building multiple income streams gives traveling therapists more flexibility and less pressure around client work.Her clinical specialty in womb twin survivors, and how an ultra-specific niche can attract clients without heavy marketing.The Brew and Do Supervision Crew, her community for therapists to get accountable and get things done together.Her book in progress, You, Me, and This Thing Called ADHD, and how her own ADHD diagnosis shapes how she works and travels.Using TrustedHouseSitters as a low-cost way to explore new destinations while keeping a home base.Connect with Lisa Bodenstein:https://www.lisabodenstein.online/https://www.skool.com/brew-and-do-supervision-crew-9236/abouthttps://forbodymindandsoul.com/https://wombtwinsurvivor.com/https://www.instagram.com/forbodymindandsoul/BnB: https://www.booking.com/hotel/it/sonic-alchemy.it.html?utm_source=copilot.comRecording studio: https://sonicalchemy.it https://www.lisabodenstein.online/Are you ready to take the plunge and become a Traveling Therapist?

Healing Betrayal Trauma: EMDR, IFS & the Real Reasons People Cheat Infidelity doesn't happen in a vacuum. And healing after betrayal isn't just about “getting over it” or learning to trust again. In this deeply compassionate and eye-opening conversation, Lora sits down with marriage and sex therapist Todd Creager to explore the real roots of infidelity, betrayal trauma, emotional safety, and lasting healing. Together, they unpack how childhood wounds, attachment injuries, shame, hypervigilance, and nervous system survival patterns shape both betrayal and recovery. You'll also learn how EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) can help both betrayed partners and betrayers process trauma safely, understand their protective patterns, and move toward genuine healing and connection. This episode is not about excusing betrayal. It's about understanding it deeply enough to heal. Whether you stay or leave, this conversation will help you stop personalizing the betrayal, understand your own patterns more compassionately, and move toward clarity, safety, and self-trust. Top 3 Takeaways Infidelity is often connected to unresolved trauma, attachment wounds, and protective survival patterns that began long before the relationship. EMDR and Internal Family Systems (IFS) can help both partners process betrayal trauma, regulate the nervous system, and heal emotional wounds safely. Healing after infidelity isn't about rushing back into trust — it's about rebuilding emotional safety, understanding protective patterns, and creating real change over time. Favorite Quotes “You don't just cheat. It doesn't happen in a vacuum.” “Life is generous. It helps us wake up to the parts of ourselves we didn't know how to love before.” “Healing is not about forcing trust.

Send us Fan MailWhat helps children become resilient? How do we raise kids with genuine confidence and self-esteem—while also helping them navigate disappointment, frustration, and uncomfortable emotions?In this episode of Your Child Is Normal, I am replaying one of my favorite past conversations—originally released as Episode 51—with Dr. Joan Rosenberg, bestselling author, psychologist, TEDx speaker, and expert on emotional resilience and confidence.In our conversation, we discuss how parents can help children build resilience, develop authentic self-esteem, and learn how to cope with life's inevitable disappointments. Dr. Rosenberg explains why learning to “sit with” unpleasant feelings is one of the most important emotional skills we can teach children—and why avoiding difficult emotions can actually increase anxiety over time.We also talk about: How children develop emotional strength Why discomfort is a normal and necessary part of growth Helping kids tolerate disappointment and frustration Building confidence without overprotecting children The connection between resilience and emotional health Practical ways parents can support children through hard moments Dr. Rosenberg is a California-licensed psychologist, consultant, master clinician, and media host known for her work on confidence, resilience, emotional mastery, and mental health. She is the author of the bestselling book 90 Seconds to a Life You Love, which explores how understanding and managing difficult emotions can lead to greater authenticity, resilience, and lasting confidence.This conversation is filled with thoughtful, practical advice for parents—and it felt especially worth revisiting.

Why Being the “Good Girl” Keeps You Stuck After Betrayal (The Hidden Cost No One Talks About) If you've been trying to handle betrayal “the right way”—staying calm, being understanding, holding everything together—this episode will change how you see your healing. Because the truth is, the women who stay stuck the longest after infidelity aren't the ones who fall apart… They're the ones who stay kind, capable, and in control. In this powerful episode, Lora Cheadle breaks down the hidden cost of being the “good girl” after betrayal—and how empathy, emotional intelligence, and over-functioning can quietly lead to self-abandonment. You'll learn how fawning shows up as a nervous system response, why the “assumption trap” keeps you focused on fixing your partner or your marriage, and how to reclaim your clarity, voice, and power—without losing your softness. Top 3 Takeaways Being “good” can keep you stuck Your kindness, patience, and ability to hold everything together are strengths—but when they override your truth, they lead to confusion, indecision, and self-abandonment. Fawning is not love—it's a survival response Smoothing things over, managing emotions, and avoiding conflict may feel like care, but they're often rooted in conditioning and nervous system patterns that keep you disconnected from yourself. You're not the problem—but you are the point of power You didn't cause the betrayal. But your clarity, boundaries, and self-trust determine what happens next. Pull Quotes “Fawning looks like kindness… but it's actually self-abandonment.” Who This Episode Is For This episode is for you if: You've been trying to “handle this well” instead of expressing how you really feel You tend to over-function, over-give, or take responsibility for others' emotions You feel stuck in indecision after betrayal You're not sure whether to stay or leave—but you know something has to change LOVE THE SHOW?

Jason and Lauren Vallotton sit down with their friend McKenzie Gibson, a labor and delivery nurse, to talk about something that doesn't get discussed nearly enough: how to prepare not just for marriage, but for a full and meaningful life. In a culture that often treats singleness like a waiting room, McKenzie shares how she's built a life marked by deep friendship, intentionality, hospitality, and purpose through her 20s and 30s.The conversation dives into the realities of burnout, nervous system overload, and the emotional toll of high-intensity work. McKenzie opens up about recognizing her limits, stepping into a sabbatical season, and why rest can sometimes be one of the wisest choices we make rather than a sign of failure. Together, they explore the importance of building rhythms that sustain your mental, emotional, and spiritual health long before marriage or parenting enters the picture.Jason, Lauren, and McKenzie also unpack the challenges many single adults feel inside marriage-centered communities and how to resist shrinking yourself while waiting for the next season. They talk about friendship as a calling, learning through proximity to healthy families, the power of intergenerational relationships, and why true hospitality is more about making room for people than creating a perfect environment.In this episode: • why preparing for a meaningful life matters as much as preparing for marriage • recognizing burnout, nervous system overload, and emotional exhaustion • how sabbaticals and rest can be acts of wisdom rather than quitting • friendship as purpose, not just convenience • learning about marriage and parenting through close community • what real hospitality looks like beyond hosting dinners • navigating singleness in a marriage-focused culture • building relationships across different ages and stages of life • practical ways to create deeper community and connection • why availability, feedback, and intentional presence matter so muchWhether you're single, dating, married, parenting, or somewhere in between, this conversation offers practical wisdom for building a life filled with healthy relationships, purpose, and connection.Share this episode with a friend, leave a review if it encouraged you, and let us know: what part of building a life you love feels hardest right now?PatreonIf you've enjoyed this podcast, would you consider financially supporting the show?

Episode Title: Life doesn't always unfold the way we expect… And sometimes, the moments that feel like everything is falling apart… are actually setting you up for something even better. In this episode, I sit down with Naomi Kreske, a life coach who shares her powerful journey from heartbreak, single motherhood, and survival mode… to finding love, alignment, and purpose through manifestation. We dive into how the Law of Attraction isn't just a concept—it's something you're living every single day, whether you realize it or not. If you've ever felt stuck, disconnected, or like life isn't going the way you hoped… this episode will remind you that you have the power to shift everything. ✨ In this episode, we talk about: Naomi's journey from heartbreak to rebuilding her life The moment she realized she needed to change her energy How the Law of Attraction actually plays out in real life Why self-awareness is the first step to transformation Rewriting your identity through "I am" statements Letting go of people, habits, and patterns that don't serve you The importance of learning how to receive Why presence and gratitude accelerate manifestation
Why Betrayal Makes it Feel Like Your Whole Life Was a Lie What if the most painful part of betrayal isn't what happened—but what it reveals? In this powerful episode, Lora Cheadle explores why betrayal feels like your whole life was a lie—not because every moment was fake, but because the map you were using to navigate life no longer works. From childhood beliefs about love, goodness, and fairness to the harsh awakening that life isn't always transactional, this conversation unpacks the deeper grief beneath betrayal: the collapse of your worldview, your identity, and your sense of safety. Through personal stories, grounded insight, and powerful metaphors—from The Matrix to navigating a foreign country without a map—Lora helps you understand why you feel so disoriented… and how to begin building a new reality rooted in truth, self-trust, and clarity. If you've ever thought: “I don't know who I am anymore” “Nothing feels real” “How could I not have seen this?” “What do I do now?” This episode will help you make sense of what you're feeling—and show you the path forward. Top 3 Takeaways Betrayal doesn't just break your heart—it breaks your worldview. The deepest pain isn't just what happened. It's realizing the rules you believed in—love, loyalty, fairness—don't guarantee the outcomes you expected. You're not crazy—you're disoriented. After betrayal, your mind is trying to make sense of a reality that no longer matches your internal map. That confusion, panic, and second-guessing are normal responses to a shattered belief system. Healing isn't about going back—it's about building a new map. The goal isn't to restore your old life or beliefs. It's to create a new foundation based on truth, self-trust, and the ability to navigate life as it actually is. Pull Quotes “Betrayal is not just the loss of a relationship. It's the loss of the belief that life works the way you thought it did.” LOVE THE SHOW? TAKE THE NEXT STEP Don't just listen—start healing.

Why Betrayal Lives in the Body: The Missing Piece of Healing After Infidelity What if the hardest part of betrayal isn't just what happened—but what your body is still carrying because of it? In this powerful conversation, Lora sits down with somatic educator and healer Aimee Takaya to explore the connection between betrayal, trauma, tension, and the body. Together, they unpack why betrayal lives in the nervous system, why talking about it is not always enough, and how unresolved pain can keep showing up as anxiety, hypervigilance, rage, tightness, exhaustion, and even chronic pain. Aimee shares her own story of betrayal in marriage, what healing actually looked like for her and her husband, and why somatic work can be the missing piece when you feel stuck in your healing. If you have ever wondered why you still feel activated even when you “know better,” this conversation will help you understand what your body is trying to tell you—and how to finally begin letting it go. Top 3 Takeaways Betrayal is not just emotional—it becomes physical. Your body stores tension, fear, hypervigilance, and pain long after the event itself is over. Healing is not about “getting over it” as quickly as possible. It is a process of creating enough safety in your body to release what has been held for years—or even generations. Somatic work can help you listen with “new ears,” soften your nervous system, strengthen your boundaries, and stop reacting from old patterns of fear and pain. Pull Quotes “Betrayal is not just something that happens to your heart. It happens to your body, your nervous system, your sense of safety, and your ability to trust yourself.” About Aimee Takaya Aimee Takaya is a Certified Hanna Somatic Educator, Somatic Yoga Teacher, Podcaster and Transformation Facilitator. She has been professionally teaching movement and working with a wide range of bodies and challenges for over 14 years. She loves to help you connect your body and ALL its messages in new and empowering ways. Aimee knows from personal experience the power of compassionate somatic practice to heal from chronic pain and adverse life experiences. She works with clients in person, in the Western New York area, as well as internationally through zoom. She also creates somatic, bodywork-based retreats where you can deepen your self-trust & connection. to truly let go of what binds you.

Infidelity, Trauma & the Nervous System: Why Healing Is So Complex (and What Actually Works) Infidelity is rarely simple—and healing from it isn't either. In this grounded, deeply human conversation, Lora sits down with trauma therapist Dr. Monique Thompson to explore the real complexity behind betrayal, relationships, and recovery. This is not a conversation about quick fixes, blame, or black-and-white answers. It's about understanding what's actually happening beneath the surface—neurologically, emotionally, and relationally. Together, they unpack how trauma lives in the body, why you can look “fine” while your nervous system is in distress, and how early experiences—even preverbal ones—shape the way we connect, react, and make decisions in relationships. They also explore the truth about infidelity: it's not always clear-cut, it's not always intentional in the way we think, and it's never just about the moment it happened. Betrayal often uncovers deeper layers—identity, attachment, self-worth, and long-standing patterns that were already in motion. This episode is a powerful reminder that healing requires slowing down, tending to yourself, and getting the right support. Whether you stay, leave, or don't yet know what you want, there is no one “right” path—only your path. If you've been trying to make sense of what happened, or wondering why this feels so overwhelming, this conversation will help you understand why—and what actually helps. Top 3 Takeaways Infidelity is complex and rarely black-and-white. It often reflects deeper patterns, trauma, and unmet needs that existed long before the relationship. Trauma is not just emotional—it is biological. You can appear functional on the outside while your nervous system is in a state of stress or survival. Healing requires support, not isolation. Whether through therapy, coaching, or a team approach, having guidance helps you regulate, process, and make aligned decisions. Pull Quotes “You can look fine on the outside—and still have a nervous system that thinks it's in a war zone.” About Monique Dr. Monique Thompson, DHA, LPC, LPC-S, is an EMDR-trained trauma and infidelity recovery therapist based in Dallas with over 24 years of experience in private practice. She specializes in helping individuals and couples heal from betrayal, restore trust, and rebuild their lives with clarity and confidence by integrating faith, neuroscience, and psychology. Dr. Thompson is the bestselling author of Infidelity Recovery Workbook for Couples: Tools and Exercises to Rebuild Your Relationship, a practical and compassionate guide for couples navigating the aftermath of infidelity. In addition to her clinical work, she has served for over 21 years as a consultant with SMU's Perkins School of Theology and is an Associate Faculty member at the University of Phoenix, where she has been nominated Faculty of the Year for four consecutive years (2020–2023). A dedicated mentor and leader in her field, Dr. Thompson has supervised and supported the licensure of 13 LPC interns over the past 15 years. She is also a respected voice in her local community in Little Elm, Texas, where she is known not only as a clinician and author, but as a committed mother and engaged community member.

In this episode of The Kirk Miller Podcast, Kirk sits down with performance coach and author Will Polston to break down why so many high performers still feel stuck — despite achieving success. This conversation goes deeper than goals, habits, or productivity. It's about direction, identity, and building a life that actually means something. Will shares the concept of North Star Thinking — a framework designed to align your actions, decisions, and long-term vision around something bigger than short-term wins. In this episode, Kirk and Will discuss: Why chasing money and surface-level goals often leads to frustration The concept of North Star Thinking and how it changes everything How to identify a mission that drives long-term fulfilment The "glass ceiling" most high performers eventually hit Why success without direction leads to burnout and confusion How to audit your life and realign with what actually matters The role of values in decision-making and emotional consistency Why structure beats time management The importance of environment, mentorship, and community The Bigger Takeaway Most people aren't lacking effort. They're lacking alignment. You can hit goals and still feel lost You can build success and still feel unfulfilled You can work hard and still be heading in the wrong direction The solution isn't doing more. It's getting clear on why you're doing it in the first place.

Why He Can't Stop: The Truth About Porn Addiction, Cheating & Compulsive Behavior in Relationships You keep asking the same question: Why does he keep doing this—even when he knows it hurts me? In this eye-opening episode, Lora sits down with former Buddhist monk and addiction expert Jeremy Lipkowitz to unpack the real reasons behind compulsive behaviors like porn use, cheating, and addiction. This conversation goes far beyond surface-level answers. Together, they explore how addictive behaviors form, why they aren't about you, and what true recovery actually requires. If you've ever felt confused, hurt, or stuck trying to understand your partner's behavior—this episode will bring clarity, validation, and a new way forward. Top 3 Takeaways It's not about you—it's a coping mechanism. Most addictive behaviors begin early and are rooted in emotional regulation, not love, attraction, or relationship satisfaction. Addiction is about pain, not pleasure. The real question isn't “Why the addiction?”—it's “What pain is being avoided?” Healing requires addressing the root, not just stopping the behavior. You can't shame someone into change—but you can create awareness. True transformation happens through self-awareness, accountability, and building a life that no longer needs escape. Pull Quotes "Addiction isn't about wanting more pleasure—it's about trying to escape a life that doesn't feel good.” About Jeremy Jeremy Lipkowitz is a former Buddhist monk, meditation teacher, and ICF-certified executive coach who helps high-achieving men break free from compulsive behaviors—especially porn addiction—and build lives of integrity, discipline, and deep fulfillment. With over 13 years of meditation experience and hundreds of days spent in silent retreat, Jeremy blends ancient wisdom with cutting-edge science to guide individuals toward emotional resilience and personal freedom. A former genetic researcher who earned Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Genetics & Genomics and pursued a PhD at Duke University, Jeremy left academia after confronting his own struggles with addiction, shame, and self-judgment. A brief period of monastic training in Myanmar deepened his mindfulness practice and marked the start of a lifelong commitment to personal growth and service. As the founder of Unhooked Academy and host of the Unhooked Podcast, Jeremy is a leading voice in destigmatizing porn addiction and educating the public on effective, science-based recovery strategies. His work helps men overcome shame, understand the neuroscience of addiction, and create lasting transformation through mindfulness, emotional intelligence, and habit change. For over a decade, Jeremy has taught at universities, recovery centers, and global companies across the U.S. and Asia. His calm, grounded presence and ability to bridge analytical thinking with inner work make him a sought-after guide for professionals and executives looking to reclaim their lives from digital distractions and self-sabotaging patterns. Credentials & Training: CPCC, Co-Active Training Institute ACC, International Coaching Federation (ICF) Certified Teacher, Search Inside Yourself Leadership Institute (SIYLI – developed at Google) The Turning Point After years of outward success—academic achievements, career accomplishments, and global recognition—I still felt a deep sense of emptiness and disconnection. Behind the polished exterior, I was battling a compulsive porn habit, struggling with shame, and silently wondering what was wrong with me. Eventually, I hit a breaking point. I left my PhD program, became a Buddhist monk, and began a deep inner journey of healing and transformation. Now, as a mindfulness-based executive coach and founder of Unhooked Academy, I help high-achieving men reclaim their focus, integrity, and sense of self. Together, we replace shame with clarity, and compulsive behaviors with purpose-driven action. Learn More at www.UnhookedAcademy.com LOVE THE SHOW? TAKE THE NEXT STEP Don't just listen—start healing.

Why Did This Happen to Me? A Radical New Way to Understand Betrayal, Trauma & Life's Hardest Moments Why did this happen to me? If you've ever asked that question after betrayal, infidelity, or a life-altering experience… this conversation may completely shift how you see your story. In this deeply thought-provoking episode, I sit down with Rob Schwartz, author of Your Soul's Plan, to explore the concept of pre-birth planning—the idea that we may choose our biggest life challenges before we're even born. Yes… even betrayal. Before you dismiss this as “too out there,” stay with us. Because whether you take this literally or metaphorically, this conversation opens the door to something every woman healing from betrayal needs: Meaning perspective and the possibility of peace We explore what it means to view betrayal not as punishment—but as part of a larger soul journey… without bypassing the very real pain and trauma that comes with it. If you've ever wondered: Why did he cheat? Why did this happen to me? Is there any deeper meaning in this pain? How do I stop feeling like a victim of my life? This episode will stretch your thinking in the most powerful way. And most importantly—it will invite you back into your own power. Top 3 Takeaways What if your hardest experiences weren't random—but chosen for growth? The concept of pre-birth planning offers a radically different lens on betrayal, trauma, and life's biggest challenges. Understanding meaning doesn't replace healing—it deepens it. This is NOT about bypassing pain. True healing still requires emotional, somatic, and psychological work. You are not a victim of your life—you are a participant in your evolution. Shifting from “Why me?” to “What is this here to teach me?” can unlock profound clarity, forgiveness, and self-trust. Favorite Quote “What if the question isn't ‘Why did this happen to me?'—but ‘What is this here to awaken in me?'” About Rob Schwartz Bio: Rob Schwartz is a hypnotist who offers Between Lives Soul Regressions (BLSRs) to help people heal and understand their life plans. In a BLSR you can speak directly with your Council of Elders, the wise, loving, and highly evolved beings who can tell you what you planned for your current lifetime and why, how well you're fulfilling your plan, and how you may better fulfill your plan. Rob's first book, Your Soul's Plan: Discovering the Real Meaning of the Life You Planned Before You Were Born, explores the pre-birth planning of physical illness, having disabled children, deafness, blindness, drug addiction, alcoholism, the death of a loved one, and accidents. His second book, Your Soul's Gift: The Healing Power of the Life You Planned Before You Were Born, explores the pre-birth planning of spiritual awakening, miscarriage, abortion, suicide, caregiving, sexuality, adoption, having pets, poverty, mental illness, and other life challenges and experiences. His third book Your Soul's Love: Living the Love You Planned Before You Were Born is about the pre-birth planning of challenges related to romantic relationships or their absence: infidelity; impotence; interdimensional parenting (raising children seemingly alone after the death of one's partner); being single; and celibate relationships. Rob's books have been translated into 28 languages. He teaches internationally on the subject of pre-birth planning at such venues as The United Nations, Kripalu, 1440 Multiversity, Hollyhock, and online through The Shift Network.

Why I Stayed After 15 Years of Infidelity -The Honest Truth About Rebuilding Trust What if staying after betrayal wasn't weakness, denial, or fear — but one of the most conscious, self-respecting decisions a person could make? In this deeply personal episode, Lora answers one of the hardest and most frequently asked questions of her life: Why did you stay? After years of infidelity, heartbreak, and shattered trust, she shares the honest, nuanced truth behind her decision to remain, heal, and rebuild. This is not a story about excusing betrayal, minimizing pain, or pretending the past didn't happen. It's a story about truth, justice, self-respect, and the courage to stay present long enough to see whether something truly new could be built. Lora explores the assumptions people make about women who stay, the difference between blind loyalty and conscious choice, and the emotional, relational, and spiritual work that real reconciliation requires. She also speaks candidly about love, risk, accountability, integration, and why healing is never about replaying the worst moment of your life forever. If you've ever wondered whether someone can love you and still betray you, whether staying means you're weak, or what it actually takes to rebuild trust after infidelity, this episode offers a raw, grounded, and powerfully clarifying perspective. Top 3 Takeaways Staying after betrayal is not the same as accepting anything. Lora did not stay “no matter what.” She stayed present, kept listening to herself, and continued choosing based on what was actually happening in the relationship. Reconciliation only works when truth, accountability, and repair are real. You cannot heal by pretending it didn't happen. Rebuilding trust requires full truth, real change, emotional honesty, and the willingness to create an entirely new relationship. The goal is not just saving the relationship — it's reclaiming yourself. Whether you stay or leave, the deeper work is learning to honor your values, trust your own discernment, and move forward without bitterness. Pull Quotes “Staying isn't blind loyalty. It's conscious participation in whether something new is actually being built.” “I didn't stay because I was afraid to leave. I stayed because I trusted myself to keep choosing based on what was actually happening.” LOVE THE SHOW? TAKE THE NEXT STEP Don't just listen—start healing.

Why Men Cheat, Why They Keep Cheating, and How to Know If He's Really Changed You asked the hardest questions—so we answered them. Why do men cheat? Why do they keep cheating? Can a man love you and still betray you? Why won't he talk about the affair? And how do you know if he's truly changed? In this deeply honest episode, I sit down with my husband, Shawn, to answer the real questions women ask after infidelity—the same questions they post in my Facebook group, whisper to themselves at 2 a.m., and type into Google when their world has fallen apart. This conversation is raw, thoughtful, and incredibly real. Shawn shares openly from the perspective of the betrayer—not as a clinician, but as a man who lived it, hid it, justified it, and ultimately had to face the truth of what he had done. Together, we talk about validation, compartmentalization, shame, emotional avoidance, repair, trust, intrusive thoughts, and what genuine transformation actually looks like over time. This is not a conversation about excusing betrayal. It's a conversation about understanding it clearly enough to stop repeating the cycle. If you have ever wondered whether he truly understands the pain he caused… whether change is real… or whether healing is possible for you, this episode will meet you there. Top 3 Takeaways Cheating is often a coping mechanism—not an honest solution. Shawn shares how seeking validation, emotional immaturity, and unresolved childhood wounds fueled his choices. This doesn't excuse betrayal, but it does explain why many people cheat instead of leaving or speaking the truth. Real repair requires far more than saying “I'm sorry.” Healing only began when the conversation stopped being about words and started being about transformation, accountability, emotional safety, and the ability to stay present with discomfort. Trust is not rebuilt through promises. It's rebuilt through patterns. This episode breaks down the difference between performance and real change, why trauma triggers can still arise years later, and how trust is rebuilt one regulated, honest, consistent moment at a time.

Today, I'm talking about something we often avoid. The truth about time - and how much we have. Life is not as long as we think. On average, we get around 4,000 weeks. And when you really stop and think about that, it changes everything. It certainly did for me. So if you've ever had that quiet thought that there must be more to your life, more joy, more meaning, more you, ...but you feel stuck and unsure where to begin, this episode is for you. In this episode, I share: Why feeling stuck is often just a lack of clarity, not a lack of capability The powerful mindset shift that comes from understanding how limited our time really is Why it's never too late to start, with inspiring real-life examples And the simple first step that can completely change your direction I also share a very personal story from my early twenties when I felt completely lost, and how one simple exercise helped me change everything. If you've been waiting for the perfect time, this is your reminder that your life is happening now. Your dream life is not a rehearsal. Let’s dive in. As always, I’d LOVE to hear what resonated most with you - so please share and let’s keep the conversation going in the Dream Life Podcast Facebook Group here. Have a wonderful weekend …and remember, it all starts with a dream

Money is a hard topic for any couple, but in a blended family, it often carries even more weight. It's rarely just about numbers. It's about history, protection, prior commitments, loyalty, fear, values, and the future you're trying to build together.In this episode, we sit down with Brian K. Peterson to unpack why money conversations feel so loaded in stepfamilies, and how couples can approach them with more wisdom and unity. Instead of treating money like a scoreboard, Brian invites couples to ask a better question: What are we trying to build together? That shift can move you from conflict and anxiety toward collaboration and peace.You'll also hear why a unified financial vision matters, especially with child support, co-parenting stress, legal battles, and shifting seasons that can make stability feel fragile. Join us as we explore why unity isn't sameness, it's honoring each person's story while intentionally building a shared future. Brian is a husband, dad, and stepdad, and the founder of Blended Family Financial. He created the Planning Built for Life® process to help stepfamily couples move from financial tension to shared clarity and direction. He and his wife, Cara, are passionate about building strong blended families, and he's the upcoming author of Blended Family Finances: How to Talk About Money, Plan for the Future, and Build a Life You Love.If money has become a source of stress, silence, or disconnection in your relationship, this episode will help you slow down, get honest, and start moving toward a more intentional and united path.You'll Discover:Why money conversations feel more complicated in blended familiesHow fear, protection, guilt, and past experiences quietly shape financial decisionsWhat a unified financial vision is, and how it helps couples move from conflict to collaborationHow to think about legacy as something you live now, not just something you leave laterResources from this Episode:Get your FREE copy of Blended Family Finances (limited offer) by Brian K.

What if purpose isn't something you discover once and hold onto forever? What if it's something you discover in small ways — every single day? Over the last few episodes we've been talking about something many of us are missing: margin. Space in our lives and space in our nervous systems. Because we can't build a life we love when every ounce of our energy is already spent holding the current one together. But once we create a little space, another question appears: Now what? In this episode I share five Japanese wisdoms that offer a gentler way to think about purpose, presence, and rebuilding a meaningful life in midlife. Not a roadmap. More like a long exhale. We explore: • Ikki no Mei — finding one small reason to show up today • Ma — why the space between things matters more than we think • Shodo — how writing by hand changes the way we experience our lives • Wabi-Sabi — finding beauty in the life that didn't go according to plan • Kintsugi — why the cracks in our story may be the most valuable part If you've ever wondered what comes next after years of caring for everyone else, this episode is an invitation to start small. You don't have to solve your whole life. You just have to find today's reason.
Welcome to another short and empowering episode. Today, we explore the powerful reminder that life is short, and that there is no perfect time to begin creating a life you love: "Life is short. There is only now." Three key takeaways: Why remembering that life is precious can be one of the most motivating mindset shifts of all How small daily actions can help you stop drifting and start consciously creating your dream life Why waiting for the right time keeps your dreams further away, and what to do instead Take this opportunity to learn how to stop postponing what matters most and begin taking meaningful steps toward the life you truly want.

How to Be Happy After Infidelity (Without Denial, Bypassing, or Pretending): 7 Real Steps Can you really be happy after infidelity? Not through denial. Not through toxic positivity. Not through spiritual bypassing or pretending everything is fine. In this deeply honest episode, I answer the question I've been asked more than any other: “Are you really that happy?” Eight years after betrayal, I share the 7 pillars that helped me move from devastation to grounded, embodied happiness — without minimizing the pain, excusing the betrayal, or bypassing the trauma. We talk about Why happiness after infidelity is a conscious choice The real psychological roots of cheating (and why it wasn't about you) How betrayal trauma impacts your nervous system Why understanding the “why” creates emotional safety Healing invisible wounds like perfectionism, self-abandonment, and martyrdom How to stop performing and start being Why you cannot break the habit of being yourself by yourself If you're navigating betrayal, questioning your future, or wondering whether true happiness is possible after infidelity — this episode will show you what it actually takes. Not perfection. Not pretending. But rising. Top 3 Takeaways Happiness after betrayal begins when you stop identifying as the victim and choose to become the creator of your life. Understanding the real psychological root of infidelity (and why it wasn't about you) creates nervous system safety. You cannot think your way into happiness — you must regulate your nervous system, stop performing, and get real support. The 7 Pillars of Real Happiness After Betrayal Choose to rise instead of identifying as the victim. Understand the true psychological root of infidelity. Heal your invisible wounds (perfectionism, self-abandonment, martyrdom). Stop saying you “wasted” your life. Reclaim what's left. Regulate your nervous system. Stop performing and start being. Get real support — you can't break the habit of being yourself by yourself. Favorite Quote “You were victimized. But staying a victim is a choice.” LOVE THE SHOW?

Episode 252: What Are You Willing to Risk to Live the Life You Love? Periods of uncertainty often feel heavy, disorienting, and unstable, yet they are also powerful portals for transformation. When systems contract, creativity expands. When certainty dissolves, new paths become visible. The question that arises in these moments is not what feels safe, but what feels true. Living in devotion to what you love requires a willingness to risk outdated structures, familiar discomforts, and identities shaped by fear rather than alignment. Much of what keeps people stuck is not a lack of desire, but a pattern of choosing distraction, delay, or comfort over soul-led action. These choices show up in small daily moments and in life-altering decisions alike. When attention turns inward and responsibility is reclaimed, clarity returns. From that place, sensation becomes guidance, discomfort becomes information, and devotion becomes a lived practice rather than an abstract idea. I love you.

WRITER • MYSTIC • CREATIVE • SPIRITUAL MENTOR Throughout my life I have been guided by the warrioress archetype, an independent female spirit whose primary purpose is to achieve freedom and sovereignty of her life. This was not always a conscious endeavor for me, yet she pulled at my heart and led me on adventures far and wide and wild. She has taught me to live by spirals and wheels and cycles. To live each day as a ritual, knowing that I am the source of my life. Everything comes FROM me and that my obstacles are actually the path to living an even greater and wilder existence. She has shown me that true LEADERS rally for and with life, not against it. So, now I live in devotion to a higher standard of LIFE for us all.

The Simple Sophisticate - Intelligent Living Paired with Signature Style
"The goal, here, is options—the power to choose the life you want. And this life is not going to happen without investing."—Amanda Holden, author of How to Be a Rich Old Lady The key to learning anything we don't know is to choose to learn. Then, we need to find people who not only know what we want to acquire as knowledge, but also know how to teach it. Not only do they know how to teach it, but they sincerely want us to learn. As this episode/post finds you, we are all at different points along our life journey regarding our age, but we also, regardless of age, are at different points regarding our knowledge of investing. Wherever you are is exactly where you need to be to begin deepening your knowledge of what will set you free once you apply the skills and language of investing that Amanda Holden teaches in her book. Holden founded Invested Development after beginning her career in investment management. With degrees from UCLA in economics and communications, which make her a helpful guide as a teacher for the economics we want to learn, she transitioned into becoming one of the leading voices on women and money. Teaching in-person and online classes on money, her primary objective is to equip us with the tools and know-how so that finances don't prompt fear, but instead eradicate it and give us freedom. "To be a Rich Old Lady is to be rich in life, options, experiences, and especially love." —Amanda Holden In today's episode, I'm going to share with you seven guiding truths as a way to lay the foundation of where to begin and how to maintain steady progress to becoming rich. So that you aren't looking into your older years and fearing or wondering how you will survive, but instead are eager (but not rushing) for them to arrive because you know you will be thriving. ~Find the Show Notes for this episode on The Simply Luxurious Life blog - https://thesimplyluxuriouslife.com/podcast420
In this episode of the podcast, we get a faith-centered, practical roadmap to combat excessive screen time and reclaim family presence. Recent data shows teens averaging 7+ hours of daily entertainment screen time (with many exceeding 8 hours), nearly half of U.S. teens online "almost constantly" (Pew Research), and kids owning smartphones by age 12 facing higher risks of depression, obesity, and poor sleep (2025 CHOP/Columbia study). For moms, heavy smartphone use often heightens stress, anxiety, and fatigue—stealing moments from kids and God. As you implement boundaries, may you experience the freedom and deeper connection God desires for our lives—redeeming the time for what truly matters most Scriptures Referenced: Psalm 90:12 Philippians 4:8 Colossians 4:5 Resources Referenced: Head to Toe Prayer Journal https://nohighercalling.org/shop/devotional/head-to-toe/ NHC Podcast: Living a Life You Love with Sarah Boots https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/living-a-life-you-love-tea-time-chat-with-brettnay-sarah/id1547126864?i=1000743803048 NHC Podcast: Circadian Rhythm with Sarah Boots https://podcasts.apple.com/dk/podcast/circadian-rhythm-with-sarah-boots/id1547126864?i=1000656357180 Follow my journey by subscribing to this podcast.

In today's episode, I'm excited to welcome back my wonderful friend Stephanie May Wilson to talk about her new book, Create a Life You Love—and this conversation couldn't have come at a better time. We unpack why “one right answer” is often a myth and how to make big decisions without feeling like you're about to ruin your life. Stephanie shares how to tell the difference between a closed door and normal fear, how to build a wise “cabinet” (because not everyone gets a vote on your life), and why confidence is really about trusting yourself to pivot when things don't go as planned. We also talk about navigating big transitions—marriage, motherhood, moving to Spain—and what it looks like to stop living in the future and fully invest in the season you're in, even without perfect clarity. If you're at a crossroads or afraid of getting it wrong, this episode will feel like a deep exhale. Grab a journal for this one.
