Thoughts on Record: Podcast of the Ottawa Institute of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
Comments or feedback? Send us a text! Dr. George James joins the podcast to discuss his new book I Give Myself Permission: Take Risks. Be Imperfect. Live Boldly and the psychological barriers that keep people stuck even when they have insight into their patterns, trauma, and history. The conversation explores the idea that lasting change is not simply about awareness, but about developing an internal sense of authorization to live differently.Drs. Kelly and James discuss how personal narratives become deeply embedded over time through family systems, attachment experiences, perfectionism, chronic stress, and systemic injustice — and why many people intellectually understand themselves while still feeling emotionally trapped in old roles and identities. The discussion examines how these narratives shape what people believe they are “allowed” to pursue in relationships, work, leadership, and identity development.The episode explores the overlap between narrative therapy, CBT, family systems, and culturally informed approaches to treatment, including how therapists can help clients identify distorted narratives while still validating very real structural barriers and trauma histories. Dr. James also discusses racial trauma, injustice stress, and the importance of balancing empowerment with realism in clinical work.Other themes include:The psychology of perfectionism and self-worthAttachment trauma and high achievementLeadership burnout and “sacrifice syndrome”Mid-life identity shifts and reinventionBehavioral activation, risk-taking, and fear responsesWhy insight alone is often insufficient for changeThe role of self-compassion in identity transformationHow therapists can integrate “permission language” into treatmentDr. George James, PsyD, LMFT, is a licensed marriage and family therapist, executive coach, and internationally recognized speaker with more than two decades of clinical experience. He is the founder of George Talks and specializes in narrative transformation, leadership development, racial trauma, and family systems work.His book, I Give Myself Permission: Take Risks. Be Imperfect. Live Boldly (New Harbinger Publications, 2026), examines how inherited narratives, chronic stress, perfectionism, and systemic pressures shape identity — and how reclaiming permission can create space for courage, healing, and meaningful change.
When updating your resume or LinkedIn profile, it's tempting to use words that make you sound impressive—terms like “world-class” or “team player.” But hiring managers often see those words very differently than you might expect, and they can actually work against you. https://www.linkedin.com/business/talent/blog/product-tips/words-you-should-not-use-on-linkedin-profile-infographic Tipping has become increasingly complicated—and controversial. Requests for tips seem to be everywhere, suggested amounts are rising, and many people feel unsure about what's appropriate. At the same time, for many workers, tips are essential income. So how much should you really tip? When is it expected—and when is it not? Michael Lynn, professor of services marketing at Cornell University and author of The Psychology of Tipping: Scientific Insights for Services Customers, Workers, and Managers (https://amzn.to/4drNgyH), explains the science behind tipping, what influences how much people give, and how both customers and workers can better navigate this evolving system. There are probably things you've thought about doing—but haven't. Speaking up in a conversation. Making a change in your career. Taking a risk that feels important. Often, the biggest barrier isn't ability—it's permission. Dr. George James, licensed therapist and consultant, and author of I Give Myself Permission: Take Risks. Be Imperfect. Live Boldly (https://amzn.to/41fjiqb), explains why people hold themselves back, how those internal limits form, and what it takes to move past them and take action on what matters. You've probably heard a driver say, “That motorcycle came out of nowhere—I didn't see it.” It sounds like an excuse, but there's actually a real reason this happens—and it's something every driver should understand. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3482468/ PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS QUINCE: Refresh your wardrobe with Quince!

SEASON: 6 EPISODE: 5Episode Overview: Welcome to the Becoming Preferred Podcast. Today, I am bringing you a special replay of one of my favorite conversations, and the timing couldn't be better. We just celebrated Thanksgiving a few days ago. For many of us, it was a time to gather with friends and family, share a meal, and reflect on our blessings.But here's what I've come to believe. Gratitude isn't meant to be a once a year event. It's a practice, a daily discipline that shapes how we see the world, and how we move through it. Every morning as part of my journaling routine, I'm prompted with a simple question, what am I grateful for? And I've discovered something profound in that practice.When you start your day with gratitude, you position yourself to see abundance. Not because your circumstances magically change, but because your perspective does. Now here's the thing. Gratitude is easy when life is good, but what about when you're in the middle of a storm? What about when the diagnosis is devastating? When the relationship is fractured? When the business is struggling? Can gratitude still work then? That's exactly what my guest, Sandie Eggers helps us understand. Sandie learned the transformational power of gratitude during one of life's hardest seasons, her husband's terminal illness. And what she discovered wasn't just a coping mechanism, it was a way to navigate adversity with strength, clarity, and even joy.So whether you're riding high from a wonderful Thanksgiving, or you're carrying a heavy burden into the season, I believe this conversation will meet you right where you are. Gratitude isn't about ignoring your struggles. It's about finding solid ground in the middle of them. Enjoy this conversation with guest, Sandie Eggers.Guest Bio: “Do nothing and be dead in a few days,” were the words Sandie Eggers heard from her husband's surgeon, words that began her greatest season of challenge to date.The two main things that enabled Sandie to weather this life storm were God and the transformational power of gratitude. Sandie is passionate about helping others by sharing what she's learned so that they, too, can better navigate through their own life storms.In addition to having authored the book, “Live Boldly and Embrace Joy” about her life-altering experience, Sandie also shares her knowledge through online courses, webinars, and workshops. She speaks to civic, religious, and corporate groups.FUN FACT:Sandie now lives in the low country. By God's grace and blessing, she has achieved one of her personal goals: living in a place where the only “white stuff” she sees is beach sand.Resource Links:Website: https://www.yourlifeabundant.comProduct Link: https://www.amazon.com/Embrace-Each-Day-Joy-Laughing-ebook/dp/B00LK9WKVCInsight Gold Timestamps:04:37 The greatest adversity that I'd gone through was the terminal illness of my husband05:55 While we couldn't control this monster called cancer….07:11 It's easy when we're living in an environment like we're living09:38 Your work centers a lot on fostering an attitude of gratitude11:12 You talk about gratitude being a practice12:12 There's some specific techniques that you can use when you're a pessimist 14:09 You can begin to see the good out of a very bad situation14:24 Declare an International Be Kind to (Fill in Your Name) Day!15:40 Having gratitude to something outside yourself18:48 How does the mechanism of gratitude get us out of that place, that...

Those who know the depth of Christ's forgiveness are free to love and live boldly, without shame or fear. Luke 7:36–50 (ESV): 36 One of the Pharisees asked him to eat with him, and he went into the Pharisee's house and reclined at table. 37 And behold, a woman of the city, who was a sinner, when she learned that he was reclining at table in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster flask of ointment, 38 and standing behind him at his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears and wiped them with the hair of her head and kissed his feet and anointed them with the ointment. 39 Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he said to himself, “If this man were a prophet, he would have known who and what sort of woman this is who is touching him, for she is a sinner.” 40 And Jesus answering said to him, “Simon, I have something to say to you.” And he answered, “Say it, Teacher.” 41 “A certain moneylender had two debtors. One owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty. 42 When they could not pay, he cancelled the debt of both. Now which of them will love him more?” 43 Simon answered, “The one, I suppose, for whom he cancelled the larger debt.” And he said to him, “You have judged rightly.” 44 Then turning toward the woman he said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. 45 You gave me no kiss, but from the time I came in she has not ceased to kiss my feet. 46 You did not anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment. 47 Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven—for she loved much. But he who is forgiven little, loves little.” 48 And he said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.” 49 Then those who were at table with him began to say among themselves, “Who is this, who even forgives sins?” 50 And he said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”
In this episode of The Body Grievers Club, Bri sits down with therapist, drama therapist, and creative arts therapist Danny Bryant—a fat, neurospicy clinician from upstate New York and one of Bri's dear friends. Together they unpack the messy, beautiful intersection of neurodivergence, ADHD, body image, and body liberation.Bri and Danny talk about what it means to work with your brain instead of against it—how perfectionism, masking, and executive dysfunction show up in everything from laundry to therapy notes. They explore the grief that comes with realizing your brain (and body) may never operate like everyone else's, and how to build systems, compassion, and community around that truth.They also dig into the overlap between body liberation and neurodivergence, from shame and self-blame to the ways capitalism, ableism, and diet culture all demand conformity. Expect laughter, tangents, and a lot of “same, same” moments as they name what's hard, hilarious, and healing about existing in a brain and body that don't fit the mold.If you've ever wondered whether you're “just lazy” or living in a world not built for you, this conversation will remind you: you're not broken. You're living in a system that wasn't designed with you in mind. And you deserve care that honors both your body and your brain.TIMESTAMPS:05:00 Interrupting, hyperfocus, and why voice memos help our brains13:10 Pandemic clarity, fidgets, and “something's off” → assessment16:00 Bri's “wait, do I have ADHD?” moment in real life18:30 Executive dysfunction: notes, laundry, and tasks-within-tasks22:10 Systems that fit you: redefining “done,” micro-steps, and dopamine25:10 Burnout cycles, urgency mode, and freeze vs. rest27:50 Missed diagnoses in women/AFAB folks + masking as survival30:40 ADLs with compassion: showers, brushing teeth, and ritual > routine33:10 Habit stacking, duplicates (chargers everywhere), and shame as the enemy36:00 All-or-nothing thinking, internalized ableism, and seeing ADHD as disability39:00 Curiosity > criticism: Finch, allowances, novelty, and changing what no longer works41:50 Interoception, meds, intuitive eating adaptations, and sleep/circadian quirks45:00 Energy rhythms, gray-scale phone, capacity planning, and Mondays vs. Fridays47:30 Boundaries, FOMO parts, and letting people be disappointed (community = annoyance sometimes)50:10 Assessing “stay home or go?”—facts, context, and momentum vs. depletion52:00 Culture check: conformity pressures (thinness, ableism) and finding your people54:00 GLP-1s vs. stimulants: safety, autonomy, and why changing size ≠ changing beliefs56:00 Spectrum ≠ line: the “pie chart” view + how presentation varies widelyRESOURCES:Mentioned in this episode:Love Dani Donovan's art and writing on ADHD:Comics: https://www.adhddd.com/comics/The Anti-Planner: https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/122842465-the-anti-plannerKC Davis's Strugglecare: https://www.strugglecare.com/resourcesA Radical Guide for Women with ADHD: Embrace Neurodiversity, Live Boldly, and Break Through Barriers by Sari Solden and Michelle Frank:www.newharbinger.com/9781684032617/a-radical-guide-for-women-with-adhd/ srsltid=AfmBOoqIlhzeA5jvKuvaBqnjZZcQUZeGo5LMRX1vThmBMYFM1pWa2OtnGifted kid with ADHD essay:https://blackgirllostkeys.com/adhd/double-trouble-navigating-life-as-a-gifted-kid-with-adhd/This person is writing about Neurocomplexity in a interesting way:https://lindseymackereth.substack.com/ADHD & Nutrition@rds_for_neurodiversityWANT MORE OF DANI BRYANT?* Instagram: @danibtherapy* Website: www.danibryant.comWANT MORE OF BRI?*Instagram: @bodyimagewithbri *Website: https://bodyimagewithbri.com/*Bri's Free Resource: 7-Step Guide to Shift Body Grief to Radical Body Acceptance

YOU - The Master Entrepreneur - A Guide to True Greatness with Stan Hustad
Today I shared a deeply personal reflection on two converging realities: the recent tragic loss of Charlie Kirk, and the remembrance of September 11, 2001—now twenty-four years past. I began by acknowledging the heavy weight of this day. Though much is being said about Kirk's assassination, I chose not to dwell on speculation. Instead, I wanted to take listeners back to my own 9/11 story, a story of fear, near-loss, and unexpected grace. Like many, I remember where I was when the planes struck. I had just returned from a walk, turned on the television, and saw the first tower burning. At first, there was confusion—maybe an accident? But then, before my eyes, the second plane hit. Suddenly, we all knew: America was under attack. That day became even more frightening for me when we learned that my daughter's boyfriend at the time had an 8:00 a.m. breakfast appointment at the top of the World Trade Center. For hours, we couldn't reach him. Phones were down, panic was everywhere, and all we could do was pray. Late that afternoon came the news: he had been delayed—late, for once in his punctual life—and spared. A twist of fate kept him alive. Two weeks later, I flew into New York and witnessed the devastation firsthand—the smoking ruins, the posters of missing loved ones plastered on walls, and the tears of families searching for answers. That image of a mother crying, asking if anyone had seen her daughter, is seared into my heart forever. Since that day, I've committed to supporting Tunnels to Towers—a reminder that the sacrifices of that day still echo, and families still carry the burden. For me, my small monthly gift is as essential as my mortgage or health insurance—it keeps the memory alive through action. Takeaways & Things to Remember Never Forget – 9/11 is not just history. For survivors, families, and first responders, the wounds are still fresh. Our duty is to remember and honor their stories. Every Life Matters – One missed meeting or one delayed train can be the difference between life and death. Cherish the people around you today—you may never know what tomorrow brings. Stories Carry Legacy – Younger generations don't have first-hand memory of that day. We must tell the stories, pass them down, and teach why remembrance matters. Support Those Who Serve – Whether through organizations like Tunnels to Towers or local efforts, small acts of generosity keep communities strong. Live Boldly in the Days of Awe – As the Jewish tradition teaches, the time between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur is for reflection, reconciliation, and renewal. Ask yourself: What do I need to forgive, what do I need to change, and where do I need to be braver? Closing Challenge As we step into the year ahead, I challenge each of us to carry the memory of 9/11 not only in sorrow but in action. Let us live with boldness, bravery, courage, and power. Let us choose reconciliation where possible, forgiveness where needed, and courage where demanded. The world remains dangerous, uncertain, and divided. But you and I can choose to be makers of peace, builders of hope, and storytellers of truth. So as this day of remembrance closes, may we not only honor the past but also make a resolution: to live in such a way that the world is just a little bit safer, a little bit kinder, and a little bit better. And may something awesome happen to you today.

Let this be your invitation to live more boldly, courageously, and authentically—in alignment with who God created you to be.✅ Key Takeaways:Fear of judgment can keep us small—but God calls us to more.True freedom begins when we prioritize God's opinion over man's approval.Seeking external validation often blocks our spiritual growth and joy.We are called to live boldly, not quietly shrink to fit expectations.Embracing authentic faith leads to peace, confidence, and purpose.Download My Free Joyful Living Devotional: https://kristinfitch.com/devotionalReady to take your first step towards a more joyful, faith-filled life?

What does a person transformed by Jesus look like today? In this message, Pastor Nate Nupanga teaches how Peter and John lived out their faith in public and how you can overcome fear to love people like Jesus.
In this powerful and honest message, Brycen Paulo encourages students to stand firm in their faith—even when the pressure to conform is strong. Through a story of complete darkness in a cave and the biblical example of Daniel, Bryson unpacks what it means to obey God before the pressure hits, to trust His path when it's not easy, and to find true freedom in following Jesus. Whether you're navigating peer pressure, struggling with identity, or wrestling with compromise, this message reminds us: God's way is better. Obedience isn't about perfection—it's about commitment, and God honors that commitment with peace, purpose, and blessing.
Dr. Randy White urges bold, faithful living in life's uncertainties—embracing youth, sowing generously, and remembering that every action has eternal and practical consequences.
We have slowed down in Romans 5:1-11 to make sure we are grasping the amazing benefits that belong to every single Christian. Maybe your credit card comes with free travel insurance. That will do you no good unless you know about it. Too many Christians live like these blessings are not theirs. It is quite possible Paul has put them into a kind of escalating order, saving the best for last.
From Sunday, 6/29, CrossLife elder Andy DeBoer delivers the next message in our series through Ecclesiastes.
Faith is trusting what God says is true. And we show our trust by how we act. So, when God says that He has rescued His children from hell by the death of His Son, these new friends of God not only need to believe that future, but live in the present like it were true. God loves His people so much that He has done everything they need to enjoy an eternity of fellowship with Him.
How to Live Boldly in the Book of James by Faith Promise Church
Love can be risky. At least between humans. Not only are we experts at violating love, we often have all the wrong ideas about it to start with. We think it has everything to do with how others make us feel, as opposed to how we serve them. We should delight in the fact that God is love. He never gets it wrong. And the proof of that love (as if we needed that!) is the death of His Son for His people.
Today's a special day: Sun Shining on Morning Snow: A Memoir of Identity, Loss, and Living Boldly, the deeply moving memoir by Ingrid Hu Dahl, is officially live! What better way to celebrate this powerful milestone than by revisiting our beautiful conversation on the podcast?When I first met Ingrid, I knew we were meant to create something meaningful together. She was working on a memoir about identity, loss, and living her truth—and I had the honor of walking alongside her as her book coach. Spoiler: her book is now out in the world, and it's absolutely stunning!In this episode, Ingrid shares her story of growing up mixed-race, finding her voice through music, and navigating leadership and life transitions as the founder and CEO of her own coaching and consulting firm. We also talk about what it means to own your story—on the page and on the stage—with practical tips for showing up authentically in every space you step into.Ingrid's incredible career has spanned leadership roles at Meta, Gap Inc., Capital One, KQED, and beyond. She's a TEDx speaker, musician, filmmaker, and now, published author.Learn more about Ingrid:WebsiteLinkedInInstagram @ingridhudahlFollow me on: Instagram @stacyennisFacebook @stacyenniscreativeLinkedInYouTube @stacyennisauthorTo submit a question, email hello@stacyennis.com or visit http://stacyennis.com/contact and fill out the form on the page.
There are times we get things backwards in the Christian life. Sometimes we think the worst thing that could happen to us is another trouble or trial. In reality, that difficulty or resistance may be a gift from God to grow our faith and experience more of His love. Wise Christians learn to stop resisting His providence and start increasing their hope.
Having finished making his case that the only people who will spend eternity with God are those who have been justified by His grace, Paul now turns to revealing more of the blessings or benefits that come to every single person who has faith in Jesus. It is one thing to know about these benefits, and an altogether greater thing to live like they are true. If we lack spiritual confidence in this world, it is likely because we have forgotten or ignored all that Christ purchased for us on His cross.
In this episode, Brooke Thomas shares a heartfelt message about resisting comparison and competition in order to fully step into your God-given purpose. Drawing wisdom from her friend Christine Caine and her own experiences leading the Live Out Loud Elite Mastermind, Brooke highlights the importance of celebrating one another, investing in “good soil,” and building faith through disciplined practices like Bible reading, prayer, and worship. She encourages listeners to approach God with thanksgiving and gratitude—even in tough seasons—and challenges women to trust in God's promises and embrace their true calling. With inspiring reminders and practical encouragement, Brooke invites faith-driven women to press into clarity, community, and a victorious mindset as they grow in business, life, and faith.

Human reason: what is it? How does it cooperate with faith and the will? How can we distinguish between authentic reason and its counterfeits—particularly in an age of relativism, pluralism, scientism, and artificial intelligence? Here to unpack a heavy topic is Fr. Gregory Pine, a Dominican friar, instructor at Dominican House of Studies in Washington, DC. You may recognize his voice as a frequent contributor to podcasts like Godsplaining and Pints with Aquinas. Following a talk with our juniors, Fr. Pine graciously joined us in the studio to offer a wealth of ideas on this natural capacity and inclination to understand God's world.

LIVE BOLDLY OVERCOME WEAKNESSWe're not here to blend in.Every thread reflects our mission: to Live Boldly and Overcome Weakness. Style that speaks...Gear that delivers...For some time, golf courses were like exclusive clubs, but perhaps not the kind you'd want to join, especially if you were dressed or looked a certain way. Golf attire has been a bit stagnant and lacking brand identity until recent years. LBOW GOLF was created not just to sell clothes; but to create a space for people to be themselves and feel welcomed; where culture is celebrated, all through an attire of fun colors and designs that are not necessarily traditional but still meet the performance, standards, and respect of the game. The logo sports the winner's pose, the fist pump, the "elbow" because by wearing LBOW you are declaring your boldness, your strength, your victory.WEBSITE

Join dietitian Meg Hadley and me as we open up about the challenging topic of body image, especially as we age. We discuss the personal and societal pressures women face to conform to certain body standards, Meg provides profound insights on the body image spectrum, and we explore the unrealistic expectations set by diet culture and the importance of shifting our focus from trying to shrink our bodies to expanding our lives.

Sara and Joe talk in this episode all about knowing the right time to leave a relationship or a job. Sara says she has at times stayed too long - when it seems harder to leave than just to stay. Then one day enough is enough and you leave. Once onto your new life, you reflect and realize you wish you had known how much fun it is on the other side - And how much happier you are. Listen to Joe and Sara's 6 takeaways. When any of these hit, it's time to take a serious look at the choice of staying or leaving your relationship or your job. Trust. Once this is broken it is hard to recover. This goes for relationship or workplace. Are you exhausted? Are you around energy vampire(s)? Do you feel unhappy? What's the opportunity for Growth? Is it a dead-end or is there room to grow? Are you ignoring red flags? If you are, you will get burned. Don't turn away from these “godwinks”. Are you valued? Does your partner or workmates or boss value and take an interest in you? You deserve respect. Sara uses this question to reflect on a current situation: When you are about to take your last breath, ask that self: What would you want for me? Stay or go? That “older” self will let you know what you should do now, and seek to live without major regrets. The bottom line is don't always play it safe. Reflect on how you are feeling often. Don't avoid issues. Live Boldly whether your answer is to stay or to go.
