There is no guarantee on race day.  Anything can happen, no matter how perfect or imperfect your build was. In fact, one of our favorite race mantras is: "Show up and see what you've got," which acknowledges the fact that the only thing you can do on race day is your best. We all have race day energy, nerves, and—most of all—expectations. Sometimes we might be afraid to voice our goals out loud, for fear we will not meet them or they will weigh us down. In this episode, we dig into the art of managing and embracing expectations so they become a source of strength, not stress. We dive into how to make realistic race goals and  how to change them on the fly.  We talk about your athlete personality might be a part of the way you react to the lead up to a race or a disappointing performance.  There is a lot to unpack in this one!

Today marks the 2-year anniversary of my divorce.   While some days and weeks seemed to pass excruciatingly slowly, the last two years also seem to have passed in the blink of an eye.  I truly feel like a radically different person than I was 3 years ago.  But so often we grossly underestimate how much mental and emotional work goes into changing a belief at the core.  Which means there will be seasons of life (months or even years) that will be focused more on healing and personal growth, instead of weight loss.  The key is to not be upset or frustrated with yourself if you're in a season of healing and personal growth, and the scale may not be moving as quickly as you'd like.  Join me for this conversation about how to recognize what phase you're in and how to hold space if you are in a season of healing, and trust that your weight loss season will come.    When you're ready for extra support in navigating both of these seasons of life, I'd love to chat.

In Episode 13 last year, I covered some of what I discussed in my free webinar series, Become Your Horse's Healer.We have a replay of that episode today, so tune in to learn how to reset your expectations for your horse's health.Understanding Healing PatternsHorses usually respond to healing programs in four different ways. Some horses respond positively to a new program and show rapid improvement. Others experience a temporary worsening of their conditions as their bodies start the healing process, often marked by fatigue or increased inflammation. Some horses show initial improvement followed by a later setback, while others progress gradually.Emotional and Physical Health InterplayHealing is a complex journey that involves physical, emotional, spiritual, and mental health. In addition to addressing their physical symptoms, owners must understand the emotional aspects that might impact their horse's well-being. Challenges may arise when a horse's physical and emotional health are misaligned. Recognizing all the interconnected elements is essential for comprehensive care and successful healing.Setting Realistic Expectations and GoalsIt is essential to set realistic expectations at the start of a health journey. Each horse has a unique healing trajectory, and patience is paramount. Making rushed decisions due to having unrealistic expectations could lead to setbacks. Owners need to acknowledge their horse's individuality, taking their age, constitution, and any chronic conditions they may have into account. Horses with a more robust constitution and those at risk due to breed characteristics may respond differently. Understanding these factors allows owners to tailor their expectations and approaches accordingly. Setting achievable goals and celebrating small victories allow owners to navigate the healing process with more of a positive mindset.Addressing Obstacles to RecoveryIn some instances, despite your well-intentioned efforts, obstacles may still hinder your horse's progress. So it is crucial to identify physical and emotional sources of toxicity or address the lifestyle factors that impede the healing process. Gradual changes, observation, and responsiveness to the horse's cues help create a more effective healing environment.Chronic Nature of Diseases and Pathology Chronic diseases in horses are particularly challenging. Conditions such as side bone, ring bone, and bone remodeling in the feet or joints that show tissue changes complicate issues. Horse owners must learn to distinguish inflammation from degeneration because once tissues (especially bone) start changing, it complicates recovery. Setting realistic expectations is crucial for determining whether or not full recovery is possible. Genetic Predispositions and Melanomas Genetic predispositions, like melanomas or related conditions, impact a horse's health. (White and grey horses often have melanomas due to genetic factors.) Improvement is possible in those cases, especially when owners can recognize the genes that influence the disease expression. Managing a horse's diet, nutrition, and lifestyle is crucial for modulating genetic expression and switching off detrimental genes to mitigate their effects.Constitution and Environmental Factors The constitution of a horse is influenced by factors starting in the womb. In some horses, constitutional weaknesses show up as susceptibility to allergies or illnesses. With proper care, strengthening a horse's constitution is possible. With certain breeds, especially easy-keepers that are predisposed to conditions like insulin resistance, owners may need to tailor their expectations to incorporate genetic and environmental factors.Managing Expectations for Aging...

Episode 94 – Client Education and Managing Expectations   Wow, this turned into a bit of a philosophical episode… because these are topics I have been thinking about and contemplating a lot lately. What is it that actually creates a positive outcome in the Veterinary Behaviour Medicine World? Of course, behaviour change in the patient is an important part, but what about a shift in the expectations, beliefs and understanding of the caregiver? How important is this in creating a successful outcome?   In this episode I touch on managing expectations and how some of my cases have massively turned around for the better once the caregiver was able to shift their expectations of their pet and life with their pet. I also talk about leadership styles within a consultation and how declarative versus cooperative we should be as Behaviour Professionals to achieve the best outcomes and how our own as well as caregiver beliefs influence our consultations…   I told you, a bit of a philosophical one, but an episode I really enjoyed recording.   Here is the Trinity Client Handouts E-Book that I mentioned in the episode, just click here to get access for only 14 US$: https://katrin-jahn.mykajabi.com/trinity-e-book   You will receive 55 pages of client handouts and monitoring tools that will support you in your client education journey and perhaps help to open the conversation about behavioural health with some of your clients.

Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) offers a breakthrough solution for these challenges, providing effective treatment options for conditions that were once deemed intractable. Below, we explore practical insights and techniques that medical practitioners can incorporate into their practice, drawn from experiences in using FSM to address nerve pain. The Challenge of Identifying Treatment Effectiveness When patients do not visibly feel the effects of FSM during treatment, it raises the question of how practitioners can ascertain if the therapy is working. Initial pain relief is an evident indicator; however, alternative markers such as improved range of motion or delayed onset of pain alleviation can also signal effectiveness. Practitioners should encourage patients to monitor their pain levels and range of motion post-treatment to evaluate its impact. Managing Expectations and Exploring Options Chronic nerve pain may not always yield immediate relief. Practitioners must advise patients that while the effects may not be instant, a progressive approach—evaluating changes over the course of hours or days—is essential. This ensures that patients understand FSM is one tool among many, aiding practitioners to pivot in treatment approaches as necessary to suit individual needs. Current Type and Frequency Decisions Not all FSM treatments are identical, with varying currents and frequencies applicable based on the patient profile. The choice between alternating and polarized positive currents can affect treatment outcomes, and starting with default protocols like alternating for non-athletes or polarized positive for athletes can be beneficial. Continuous assessment and adaptation of these settings based on patient response form an integral part of personalized FSM therapy. The Complexity and Fluidity of Pain Diagnosis Practitioners often encounter patients with multifaceted conditions where nerve pain is only one symptom. It's crucial to distinguish whether pain originates from nerve damage or other structural or musculoskeletal issues. For instance, pain labeled as nerve-related might sometimes result from facet joint issues or disc problems. Thus, thorough evaluations and applying the specific currents and frequencies designed for these conditions are vital for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment. Treatment Strategies for Recurrent and Complex Pain Those practicing FSM should also recognize that symptoms can sometimes resurface, suggesting underlying issues were not fully resolved. This necessitates a proactive approach in evaluating and adjusting treatment plans based on ongoing patient feedback and reevaluation of initial diagnoses.  Importance of Education and Continuous Learning Treating nerve pain effectively with FSM involves understanding both the body's physiology and the patient's individual experience. Continuous learning and application of FSM protocols ensure practitioners keep abreast of best practices, thus providing patients with comprehensive care.  By integrating these insights into practice, medical professionals can enhance treatment regimens involving Frequency Specific Microcurrent to manage nerve pain and related conditions, ultimately offering their patients improved quality of care and hopeful recovery outcomes.

Send us a textEver found yourself thinking, "They should just know what I need"? That silent expectation might be quietly destroying your relationships. In this eye-opening exploration of unspoken and unrealistic expectations, Dr. Dar Hawks reveals why the standards we never verbalize become the invisible architects of our disappointment.When we expect perfection, constant happiness, or mind-reading abilities from our partners, we create impossible standards no real relationship can meet. Dr. Hawks breaks down how these expectations manifest differently depending on your primary relationship need – whether you prioritize love and belonging, freedom, fun, safety, or power. By understanding which need drives your expectations, you gain crucial insight into the assumptions you make about how others should treat you.The most powerful revelation? Fulfilling your expectations isn't primarily your partner's responsibility—it's yours. While others can contribute to meeting your needs, the accountability begins with you. Dr. Hawks offers practical strategies for communicating expectations effectively, setting realistic boundaries, and negotiating when expectations differ. She emphasizes the importance of discussing needs during moments of emotional clarity rather than heated arguments.Perhaps most transformative is becoming the exemplary model of your own expectations. When you consistently demonstrate the behaviors you desire—whether it's open communication, loyalty, or quality time—you create an environment where these values naturally flourish. This approach shifts relationships from battlegrounds of silent demands to spaces for genuine connection and mutual growth.Ready to transform your relationships?

In a world where we often get instant feedback and instant information... where we can research anything fairly quickly and get the answers we desire... living with the concept of mystery can be pretty difficult. We can struggle to be okay in situations where the outcome or intentions aren't readily evident, especially when it comes to matters of faith. Things happen all the time that remind us we are not in control; God is. Today's episode helps you to remember that you don't have to know all the answers. Questions are okay. Unknowns grow trust in God's bigger plan. We can rest in the fact He knows, and that's enough. This will encourage you!

Welcome back, connected parents! In this heartfelt episode of Connected Parenting, we're diving into one of the most emotionally challenging moments many parents face; the shift that happens when your child starts to pull away and step into the world of adolescence. I take a close look at this transition, especially between mothers and daughters, when the once chatty, affectionate little girl becomes more withdrawn, independent, and focused on her peers. For many parents, this change feels like a form of grief—there's a sadness, a sense of being left behind, and a deep questioning of where they now fit in their child's life.Full of empathy and grounded in practical advice, this episode offers strategies to stay close, even as the relationship begins to change. Whether you're in the thick of it or seeing the early signs, today's episode will help you navigate this season of change with compassion and clarity.Remember just because it feels different doesn't mean you're losing your child. You're simply being invited to show up for them in a new way.Jennifer's Takeaways:Understanding the Transition to Teenagehood (00:00)Biological and Cultural Context of Adolescence (02:21)Emotional Impact on Parents and Teenagers (06:23)Navigating Social Interactions and Connections (07:20)Effective Communication and Connection Techniques (15:40)Managing Expectations and Emotional Resilience (15:56)Meet Jennifer KolariJennifer Kolari is the host of the “Connected Parenting” weekly podcast and the co-host of “The Mental Health Comedy” podcast.
