How I feel, I cannot trust that, not right away, because how I feel today may not be how I feel tomorrow.”--John Lowry“It is the suffering of love. Every parent feels it.

Did you know that 70% of employee engagement variation is driven by manager behavior? Join Dr. mOe Anderson and career strategist Julia Rock as they explore the intricacies of workplace dynamics, from tackling disengagement and 'pass-along syndrome' to redefining personal success and establishing boundaries." Memorable Quotes from Julia Rock: "It's really about what I want right now and what does success look like to me today." "Giving yourself permission to say, hey, I'm a different person now, so it's okay that my view of success isn't the same as it used to be." Key Points: Workplace Disengagement vs. Burnout: Understanding the difference between disengagement and burnout is crucial. Disengagement often arises from misalignment with personal goals and values, while burnout is more about exhaustion from overwork. Pass-Along Syndrome: This phenomenon occurs when leaders offload tasks without proper vetting, leading to burnout among high performers and women of color. Strategies to manage this include creating a dialogue around priorities and setting boundaries. Redefining Success: Success should align with current life goals and values. Detaching personal identity from career achievements allows individuals to pursue a more meaningful life purpose. Importance of Appreciation: A simple "thank you" can significantly boost workplace morale. Middle managers should prioritize appreciation to maintain employee engagement and retention.

Mary emphasizes the importance of finding joy and simplicity in the creative process and the mystery of the universe. She talks about the validation and grounding that comes from connecting with spirits and the role of channeling in anchoring the essence of spirit into the room. Mary also shares her experience of channeling the Divine Mother and the advice she gives to people who want to tune into their creative power. Takeaways Negative-seeming experiences with the spirit world can be informed by unhealed childhood trauma. Art can be a powerful tool for connecting with past lives and channeling spiritual energy. Finding joy and simplicity in the creative process is essential for connecting with higher dimensions. Channeling messages from spiritual beings can provide guidance and insight into personal and universal transformation. Embracing the mystery of the universe allows for a deeper connection with the creative and spiritual realms. Evidential mediumship provides validation and grounding for channelers. Belief system and worthiness are important for connecting with spirit. The nervous system plays a role in connecting with spirit. Motherhood can be a grounding and transformative experience.

In this inspiring episode, Bart Berkey sits down with Gavin Mlinar, CEO of Blacklisted Consulting and author of Yes, Your Way to Success. Why Don't You? Gavin shares the remarkable story of how his upbringing, mindset, and resilience have driven him to negotiate billion-dollar contracts, become an endurance athlete, and launch his own company—all through one key trait: decisiveness. Together, they unpack what it takes to keep going when most people quit, and how to act with confidence even when conditions aren't perfect.Major Takeaways / Learnings:1. Most People Don't Ask… But Gavin Does. Gavin landed on this podcast simply by reaching out with authenticity and persistence—something most people don't do.2. Rejection is Practice. Cold-calling 100 people a day at Merrill Lynch taught Gavin to normalize “no.” He reframed rejection as part of the process, not a signal to stop.3. Decisiveness Is a Superpower. According to his book coach (also a therapist), Gavin is one of the most decisive people they've ever met—and that's what makes him different.4. Forget Perfect—Take Action. Waiting for the perfect moment or perfect plan often leads to stagnation. Gavin encourages forward momentum over perfectionism.5. Two Steps to Progress: 1) Research and validate through resources and conversations. 2) Make a decision, take action, and adjust along the way.6. Ask for Help. Often. Most people don't ask—but most people are predisposed to help when asked. Gavin encourages breaking through that hesitation.7. Effort + Attitude = Progress. Gavin teaches his kids—and lives himself—by these two values. You don't need perfection, just consistent energy and a positive mindset.Memorable Quotes:1. “Most people don't ask for help. But most people are predisposed to help when asked.” – Gavin Mlinar2. “There are very few things in life that are final. Failure is just learning in disguise.” – Gavin3. “You get to wake up early. You get to catch that flight. That shift in mindset is everything.” – Bart Berkey4. “Most people don't… say yes.” – Gavin MlinarWhy It Matters / How to Use It:Listeners will walk away with practical tools to become more decisive, more resilient, and more open to opportunities. Gavin's approach—research, then act—can be applied to anything from writing a book to launching a business, asking for a promotion, or learning how to surf. His mindset of saying "yes" before conditions are perfect is a challenge to the perfectionist in all of us and his emphasis on attitude and effort is a reminder that consistency and courage can unlock extraordinary results.Resources & Links:Gavin Mlinar on LinkedIn: Click hereYes Your Way website: www.yesyourway.comBart Berkey: MostPeopleDont.com | LinkedInFill in the Blank:Most people don't…" say yes.

How can we truly believe we're "always enough" while acknowledging we're "never done" growing - especially as mothers who constantly feel inadequate?In this transformative episode of Whinypaluza, host Rebecca Greene sits down with licensed professional counselor and bestselling author Erica Bonham to explore the powerful concept behind her book title "Always Enough, Never Done." Erica, a certified EMDR clinician, trainer, and ketamine-assisted psychotherapist, specializes in serving the LGBTQ community, abuse recovery, and trauma related to social and racial injustice. The conversation delves into nervous system regulation, the challenges of perfectionism in parenting, and how we can break cycles of shame-bound beliefs while supporting our children's sense of self-worth. Erica shares her expertise on EMDR therapy and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy and offers invaluable guidance for parents supporting LGBTQ children. This episode is packed with wisdom about healing trauma, understanding our inherent worthiness, and creating a more inclusive world for our families.5 Key Takeaways ➤ The Paradox of Worthiness: You are "always and already enough, lovable, worthy and inextricably connected to every other living thing on this planet" AND you're in a constant state of growth and evolution - both truths can coexist without contradiction. ➤ Trauma Lives in the Body: Knowledge alone isn't enough to heal trauma because it's stored in the nervous system, not the frontal lobes. This is why body-based approaches like EMDR and somatic practices are essential for lasting change. ➤ Model Self-Compassion for Your Children: The best gift we can give our children is to deconstruct our own shame-bound beliefs first. Children see through our words to our actions and energy - we must genuinely believe in our own worthiness.➤ Create Space for Difficult Conversations: Whether discussing LGBTQ issues, race, or other sensitive topics, approach them with curiosity, acknowledge your learning process, and focus on creating a world where everyone feels safe and valued.➤ Healing is Both Individual and Collective: Personal nervous system regulation and trauma healing directly impact how we show up in relationships and communities, creating a ripple effect that contributes to collective healing.Memorable Quotes from Erica"Trauma doesn't give a shit what we know. Your vagus nerve connects the brain stem to the gut - it doesn't connect to the frontal lobes. So we can know all kinds of things, but when we're activated, all of that goes right out the window.""If you wouldn't say what you're saying to yourself to your daughter, if you wouldn't want that for your child - and if somebody showed up for your kid the way you show up for yourself, you'd be like 'get away from my kid, you're dangerous' - then maybe we need to shift that."How to Reach Erica BonhamWebsite: https://www.avoscounseling.com/ (for signed book copies and coaching packages)Book: "Always Enough, Never Done" (available on Amazon or signed copies via website) Instagram: @avoscounselingFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/avoscounseling/TikTok: @ericabonhamsomaticcoach YouTube: @ejbonham1207 Learn more about your ad choices.

Greg emphasizes the power of listening to truly understand rather than just responding.Aligning Personal Goals with Collective Success: Effective leadership involves connecting individuals to a shared vision. Greg discusses how aligning personal motivations with collective goals can drive success in personal and professional relationships.The Role of Self-Forgiveness in Personal Growth: Greg underscores the importance of self-forgiveness and support systems in personal development, highlighting insights from his book, "Build New Bridges: The Art of Restoring Impossible Relationships."Chapter Breakdown:0:00:01 - Exploring Communication and Connection0:09:17 - Navigating Relationships and Communication0:21:20 - Empowering Relationships Through Self-Forgiveness0:27:20 - Master Teams in 20-Week ProgramResources Mentioned:"Build New Bridges: The Art of Restoring Impossible Relationships" by Greg StephensAlignment Resources website: alignment-resources.com"Nonviolent Communication" by Marshall RosenbergSubscribe, Rate, and Share now!
