Have you ever shared your experience with someone, only to be told, “That never happened” or “You're remembering it wrong”? Whether it's in relationships, family dynamics, or past trauma, having your reality denied what many now call gaslighting can leave you feeling confused, frustrated, and even questioning yourself.

Hello! Welcome, or welcome back to For You From Eve; your safe space for all girl talk! In this show we talk all about becoming the best version of yourself in the most realistic way possible. Do You Have the Ick or Do You Have Avoidant Attachment? “The adult who is avoidant; is the child who couldn't express their emotions” Let's talk about the “ick” - the “ick” is when you have trouble fully opening up and letting yourself in with a guy. Why? because he does something “icky” or we can call it - something you don't like. In today's episode, I break down why we get the ick, what does "avoidant attachment" mean? Why do I feel this way?

*This episode may be triggering for some listeners.* This week, we have writer and speaker Ann Voskamp back on the podcast. Ann shares insights from her personal experiences with anxiety and brokenness and what she found out while she waited through those uncomfortable moments, and how she used scripture, prayer, and the practice of writing to heal her mind and become closer to God. Later in the episode, we’ll hear from Christian country music artist Brennley Brown. Raised in the high desert of Southern California, and now playing music in Nashville, Brennley got her start in voiceover work before gaining national recognition as the youngest finalist on The Voice. She shares her own experience with waiting while her mother battled a health crisis, and how that time led her to find out where she should go with her music—and her life.

But I actually have a way of life that centers and grounds me, roots me, and calms me, and keeps me such that the person of Christ, the being of Christ, is my way through.” - Ann Voskamp “What we're all looking for is, Is there a way of life that leads me into abundant joy? And if joy is a function of gratitude and gratitude is a function of perspective, how can I shift and change my perspective moment by moment? What needs to have a shift is my perspective, to see that not only other gifts and graces right here I can give God thanks for, but ultimately that God Himself, His very presence, His very being, is with me right here.” - Ann Voskamp “I think each of us—no matter whatever season of life we're in—there are things that we have laid before the Lord in prayer and we are in this open-handed posture of waiting. Can we feel like when we're waiting on the Lord and we're at the end of our rope, that we actually have hope because our hearts are being bound to the Lord's?” - Ann Voskamp “We don't want our devotions, our quiet time with the Lord, to actually be fragmented. We actually want that devotional time to weave through the rest of our day, all the moments and the hours keeping our hearts devoted to Him, our eyes attentive to Him, us constantly listening to Him, His Spirit saying, ‘This is the way, walk in it.’” - Ann Voskamp “All of us are searching for, longing for, hoping we don't miss out on the fullest life, the most meaningful life, an abundant life. And that is exactly why Jesus comes, to actually love us to the fullest life.” - Ann Voskamp “Music was something that my mom and I could do together. I would sit by her bed and sing worship songs, sing country songs, and it was such a powerful tool that the Lord used in our life to bring joy in the midst of something really challenging and really hard.” - Brennley Brown “Every day we have that same opportunity to love on people and to show them Jesus in the way that we live, in the words that we speak.” - Brennley Brown “I wanted to reflect my love for the Lord and how I believe He shows up in people's lives today, as a reminder that when God places a dream and a calling in your life, it's not going to be easy.” - Brennley Brown “When God uniquely places a calling and a dream on your heart, it's not going to look like what the world may think it should.” - Brennley Brown “[God] has given us such a powerful, incredible example of not only how to live, but being reminded of His promises daily—of the hope that we have in Him, the promise that He is with us, the promise that He goes before us—are only found in the Word of God.” - Brennley Brown ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!

I have been wanting to do a deep dive on the Bhagavad Gita for years. This rich text is often called the “jewel” of the Mahabharata and can be kind of intimidating to talk about. There is so much to cover. That's why this podcast will be the first in a series about the Bhagavad Gita. We'll start with exploring the profound themes of this amazing text and contrasting it with the Yoga Sutras. We'll talk about how the dialogue between Arjuna and Krishna serves as a guide for navigating our own moral dilemmas. Listen and learn:

Why do some schools effortlessly attract families while others struggle — despite offering the same features, pricing, and programs?The secret isn't more Facebook ads or another website refresh. It's identity.In this game-changing episode of the Schools of Excellence podcast, I sit down with marketing expert Veronica Romney, author of Identity Marketing, to break down why schools that market with identity — not just benefits — win the enrollment game.

I'm taking you behind the scenes on exactly what went down on our Palm Springs certification retreat. I rented FOUR LUXURY MANSIONS and invited 25 alcohol-free leaders, who, by the end of the weekend, stepped into the most embodied, impactful, and successful versions of themselves. There's something so powerful about a program that gets you off zoom and features an in-person retreat where you get to “be in the room” and build epic friendships that last a lifetime. The Empowered AF 5X Coach Certification Program is the only alcohol-free coaching designation that includes an in-person retreat, is triple accredited, and includes a business mastermind.  The 5x Certification gives you a rare opportunity to connect with alcohol-free entrepreneurs and create a lifetime of connections and collaborations. If you'd like to join our spring cohort, which starts April 2, don't hesitate to apply – we're almost full

Many young adults enter their post-high school years without the executive functioning skills needed to thrive. This is often because the people supporting them underestimate the amount of support they're getting, and there's no plan in place to fade that prompting. When young adults enter college, they have to manage sleep hygiene, long-term projects, and manage screen time. This is why I talk so much about using multiple service delivery models when supporting executive functioning; whether it be in the schools or in private practice; because many essential life skills cannot be taught without the right environmental scaffolding in place.  That's why I invited Michael McLeod from GrowNOW therapy to talk about why he uses a combination of direct sessions, summer camps with community-based activities, parent coaching, and educator training. Michael partnered and worked with The Focus Foundation in 2015, learning from incredible doctors, neuropsychologists, and various specialists – gaining in-depth training and experience with ADHD and Executive Function research and development. He currently specializes in ADHD, Executive Functioning, Social Executive Functioning, and Parent Coaching. From his experiences as an Executive Function Specialist, Michael developed a distinct model of Internal Skills Coaching to enhance these skills. Michael is a Keynote Speaker and has presented nationwide and internationally, training families and professionals on his unique GrowNOW Treatment Model for fostering Executive Functions & Resiliency.In this conversation, we discuss:✅Do graduate programs prepare clinicians to work on executive functioning out in the field?✅Frontloading vs. traditional social skills sessions.✅Why helping families set boundaries around screen time is an essential part of the services clinicians offer.✅Defining failure to launch and what it looks like in young adults.✅Situational awareness and its impact on safety for college students. You can connect with Michael at:GrowNOWADHD.com, here: http://grownowadhd.com/GrowNOW Instagram, here: http://instagram.com/GrowNOWADHDGrowNOW School Trainings, here: https://www.grownowadhd.com/training/ADHD Parenting Podcast, here: https://open.spotify.com/show/7xATyVhNZU3abIejNIggvDListen to my previous conversations with Michael here:EP 008: Building accountability and motivation in kids with ADHD (with Mike McLeod), here: https://drkarendudekbrannan.com/ep-008-building-accountability-and-motivation-in-kids-with-adhd-with-mike-mcleod/EP 009: Time management and device use boundaries in kids with ADHD (with Mike McLeod), here: https://drkarendudekbrannan.com/ep-009-time-management-and-device-use-boundaries-for-kids-with-adhd-with-mike-mcleod/The following previous episodes were mentioned in this episode:EP 122: Executive functioning for college students: Beyond checklists and planners (with Jill Fahy), here: https://drkarendudekbrannan.com/ep-122-executive-functioning-for-college-students-beyond-checklists-and-planners-with-jill-fahy/EP 193: Using Distance Learning to Increase Access and Opportunity (with Seth Fleischauer), here: https://drkarendudekbrannan.com/ep-193-using-distance-learning-to-increase-access-and-opportunity-with-seth-fleischauer/In this episode, I mention the School of Clinical Leadership, my program that helps related service providers develop a strategic plan for putting executive functioning support in place in collaboration with their school teams.

Maybe you've wondered if having doubts means your faith isn't strong enough—or worse, that you're not really a Christian at all. But here's the truth: doubt isn't the opposite of faith. It's part of it.In this episode of The Keith Brown Show, we're tackling this honest and often unspoken question:Am I still a Christian if I sometimes wonder if God is real?You'll learn:✅ Why questioning God doesn't mean you've lost your faith.✅ How some of the most faithful people in history struggled with doubt.✅ What to do when God feels distant and your faith feels shaky.✅ Practical ways to use doubt to strengthen, not weaken, your belief.Doubt doesn't mean you're failing—it means you're thinking, seeking, and growing. If you've ever felt ashamed for having questions, this episode will remind you that God is not afraid of your doubts, and you don't have to be either.

80 summers is about how many most individuals have to live... Let that sink in!   So, would you rather spend those summers hoarding your stuff and time only for yourself... or would you rather promote kindness and goodwill to your family, neighbors and the world around you in Jesus name?   What matters in eternity is who we've fed, clothed, and shared the salvation message with. What counts is serving our family whether we feel like they deserve it or not. The most important command is to love God. His most important ask of us is to share the good news with those closest to us and to every other part of the world. His Ask is that we love the less fortunate at home and around the world. He says he takes note of our selfless acts.   In Matthew 6, the author quotes Jesus as saying, worrying doesn't add a single minute to our lives... WOW!   Our biggest rewards are after this life in 80 Summers! Our comfort comes from the Lord who is our Shepherd. King David writes in Psalm 23 that in those 80 summers, He will give us comfort and lead us to safety and nourishment. That He will also protect us if we follow Him.   Only 80 Summers... how will you spend yours?   _______________________________ Looking for a new student ministry resource? You can read my book “Burn Up Not Out: A Student Ministry Fire Builder's Guidebook” here: https://amzn.to/3PtBTIy Listen to more episodes from the Youth Worker On Fire Podcast here: https://bit.ly/3saDyYq _______________________________ EPISODE CREDITS Email us at: youthworkeronfire@gmail.com Hosted by: Doug Edwards Theme Song: "The One and Only" by The 808 : Listen to more at https://bit.ly/3FTYIAJ Intro/Outro Voiceover: Michael Helms : https://www.youtube.com/@MichaelTheSoundGuy  Edited by: Secret Roots Music House

In this powerful episode of the Momplex Podcast, host Scottie Durrett delivers a heartfelt message to mothers struggling with the pressures of parenting. She candidly shares her own journey of early motherhood, marked by anxiety and a relentless pursuit of perfection. Scottie challenges the societal narrative that mothers must have all the answers, emphasizing that motherhood is an "inside job" where confidence and strength come from within. The episode explores the importance of self-trust and authenticity in parenting. Durrett argues that mothers often lose themselves by constantly seeking external validation and trying to emulate an idealized version of motherhood. She encourages listeners to embrace their unique parenting style, reminding them that their children chose them specifically. Mistakes are not failures, but opportunities for growth. Scottie uses the metaphor of hurdle training to illustrate that life's challenges are feedback, not roadblocks. She advocates for showing children how to handle setbacks with grace and resilience. This episode champions a compassionate approach to motherhood. By letting go of perfectionism, trusting themselves, and modeling self-acceptance, mothers can build confidence, reduce anxiety, and create deeper connections with their children.  Loved this episode?

I just got back from Mexico, and let's just say—I had a lot of time to reflect on what's working (and what's not) in my business. One thing that kept coming up? How easy it is for entrepreneurs to get stuck in the weeds instead of actually stepping into their role as CEO.If you're anything like me, you've probably found yourself juggling all the day-to-day tasks—emails, content, calls—while your bigger vision and strategy keep getting pushed to the back burner. Sound familiar? That's exactly why I'm sharing a concept that's been a game-changer for me: the One Day CEO method.Here's the deal:

Words matter. They are important not just for the sake of clear communications but to showcase the specific skillset one has in an effort to attract a suitable client. Suitability. If you are a regular listener to Convo By Design you know what I am talking about. If not, first, hopefully you will be a regular listener, second, the idea of suitability in all endeavors is more important now than ever before.  Suitability means vibing and open to new ideas through a mutual trust. A mutual trust allows someone to communicate with another, without having to masque every idea under the veil of “correctness”, in whatever form that may take.  Designer Resources Pacific Sales Kitchen and Home.

In this episode of The Pilates Business Podcast, host Seran Glanfield takes a deep dive into one of the most emotionally charged — and strategically vital — areas of running a boutique fitness studio: pricing. Seran explores how your pricing strategy does far more than cover expenses — it sends a powerful message about your studio's value, brand positioning, and the level of service you provide. Studio owners will learn how underpricing can sabotage their reputation and profitability, while smart, intentional pricing can attract the right clients, boost retention, and build long-term revenue. Whether you're avoiding price increases out of fear, unsure how to position your offers, or simply want a pricing strategy that supports sustainable growth, this episode is packed with insights and strategies to help you price with confidence.Got a question for Seran?
