You don't just end up in a dark place—you're slowly trained into it. Conditioned by chaos, shaped by trauma, and wired for survival. In this episode, I'm breaking down what actually pulls us into darkness—and how to get out. We'll talk about the nervous system, trauma identity, shame, and why pain becomes familiar—even addictive. I share the deeper psychology behind survival mode, and walk you through how to start reconditioning your life for safety, stability, and truth. You'll hear parts of my own story: growing up with a father struggling with addiction and mental illness, developing an eating disorder as a child, staying in abusive relationships that mirrored the instability I was raised in—and what it really looked like to break free. This isn't just a story of struggle; it's a roadmap for healing. If you're tired of performing strength, clinging to control, or confusing survival with purpose, this episode will show you what it takes to release the old, reclaim your identity, and rise. You're not broken—you were trained by pain. Kate Hastings | Mental Health Coach
If you don't know what you value, discipline will always feel like a grind. In this episode, we're unpacking the deeper structure behind why most people can't stay consistent—because they're trying to build discipline without a foundation. Everything starts with your values. What you value shapes what you believe. And what you believe creates the need to protect it—through boundaries. Once you have clear boundaries, you can set strong standards. Those standards help you prioritize what actually matters. And when your priorities are aligned with your values, consistency becomes natural—not forced. That consistency is what reinforces identity, and identity is what makes discipline sustainable. This isn't about hacks or hustle—it's about building a life that runs on alignment, not anxiety. Kate Hastings | Mental Health Coach
I spent years showing up for everyone but me. Keeping promises to other people. Breaking the ones I made to myself. This episode is about the truth behind that pattern—where it comes from, why we call self-abandonment “loyalty,” and how to finally cut it at the root. I break down the difference between discipline and punishment, how boundaries start with values, and why healing has to lead to something bigger than just you. Because if your growth never leaves the journal, and your “self-work” becomes your full identity—you're not free. This is about coming home to yourself, living with integrity, and treating yourself like someone who actually matters. Kate Hastings | Mental Health Coach

In this episode, I break down why your wins aren't sticking, your losses feel personal, and your emotions keep running the show. I share what used to drive me—chasing achievement highs, punishing myself for every misstep, and confusing shame with discipline. It worked—until it didn't. I walk through the actual definition of debriefing, why it's backed by neuroscience and performance psychology, and how to use it as a tool to stop repeating emotional patterns. You'll learn how to reflect on losses without spiraling, how to break down wins so they become repeatable, and how to process emotions so they stop owning you. This is about setting standards, pulling out one small shift, and finally leading yourself like a pro.

This episode is a wake-up call. We're not losing because we're incapable—we're losing because we're skipping the basics. Everyone's chasing hacks, aesthetics, and highlight reels, but nobody's mastering the stuff that actually builds a life. Today, I break down what it really means to simplify, to show up with discipline, and to stop outsourcing your power to motivation or convenience. I talk about why consistency beats intensity, why your excuses are just polished versions of avoidance, and how getting back to your standards will save you from the spiral. This is about routines, not rewards. Systems, not hype. It's not sexy—but it's what works. If your life feels off track, this episode will pull you back to center. This isn't just about getting better—it's about getting honest. If you want to build a life you're proud of, it starts here. Not with more noise, but with a return to the fundamentals. Listen in, take notes, and then apply it—because mastering the basics is what separates the ones who talk from the ones who lead.

You build confidence by showing up when it's boring—and sticking around when it's hard. You love the process by trusting what it's building in you. Not everything has to feel exciting to be worth doing. Most people chase the high—they want passion, results, applause. But real growth? Real self-respect? That comes from doing the reps when no one's watching. You fall in love with the process when you stop needing it to feel good and start being proud that you didn't quit.

Unrealistic expectations are rarely random—they're often rooted in early experiences where love, attention, or safety were earned rather than freely given. As children, we absorb the unspoken rules of approval: be perfect, achieve more, don't mess up. These rules become internalized standards we carry into adulthood, showing up in our careers, relationships, and personal goals. We think we're aiming high, being disciplined, or pushing for excellence—but what we're actually doing is reenacting a belief system where worth must be proven. This pressure creates a dangerous cycle: impossible standards lead to inevitable “failure,” which leads to internalized shame and dwindling confidence. This is the subtle art of self-sabotage. It doesn't always look like destruction—it often looks like drive. You set the bar just out of reach, and when you can't meet it, you turn inward and question your value. The loop is brutal: you fail to hit a mark that was never realistic, and instead of questioning the standard, you question yourself. The high-achieving mask stays on, but underneath is exhaustion, burnout, and a growing disconnect from your authentic self. You don't feel proud—you feel pressured. You don't feel accomplished—you feel behind. And it's all rooted in the illusion that more achievement will finally fix the feeling of not being enough.

Behind every high achiever lies a story most people never see—a narrative woven from unprocessed trauma and relentless pursuit. For years, I was fueled by a dark motivation: a survival instinct honed by childhood wounds that pushed me to perform, to prove, and to control every aspect of my life. I tracked every calorie, trained until exhaustion, and rebranded my eating disorder as discipline and wellness. On the surface, I had it all together. But beneath that polished exterior, I wasn't thriving—I was merely performing. I wasn't grounded; I was surviving. I realized that the fuel I was using—pain, fear, and the need to prove my worth—was slowly killing me. That dark drive, while it carried me through countless challenges, never allowed me to rest. It kept me in a constant state of chase, a relentless cycle of proving that I was enough, even when deep down I felt anything but. I had mistaken destruction for transformation, chaos for clarity, and performance for true growth. Phenyx Fit Kate Hastings Podcast @coachkate1 Mental Health Coach

Discipline wasn't saving me. It was silently destroying me. Have you ever been praised for how hard you push—while breaking inside? I used to be the woman who “had it all together.” Disciplined. Reliable. High-performing. But under the surface? I was a storm in a perfectly tailored outfit. I never missed a workout—even when I was sick. I tracked every calorie like my life depended on it. I said yes when I meant no. I showed up for others when I was falling apart. I confused exhaustion with impact. I called obsession “excellence.” But what I didn't know was this: My “discipline” was a trauma response. My “drive” was dysregulation. My “success” was self-abandonment in disguise. I didn't believe I was allowed to rest. Because deep down, I didn't believe I was worthy unless I earned it. Society clapped for my grind. But I was building a life on the edge of a breakdown. Let's stop glorifying the grind that's killing us. Redefine discipline. Not as destruction—but as devotion. Phenyx Fit Kate Hastings Podcast @coachkate1 Mental Health Coach

This was another fantastic episode in the books. I had the great pleasure of having Amitty Cooper on my show to discuss all things involving entrepreneur! Amity Cooper is a trained mental health professional, Lifebook facilitator, and entrepreneurial coach, whose mission is to empower others to live their lives fully and authentically. After 18-years in the business world, creating and designing products and services for both herself and others, she had come to a crossroads. Exhaustion had set in and her life, as she had known it, was falling apart. Waking up to the realization that she was living a life that was unfulfilling and unsatisfying, she went on a quest; holing herself up to do the deep work and healing she needed to get her mind, body, and spirit aligned. Through a series of unfortunate or fortuitous events, (depending on how you look at it) Amity gave herself permission to ‘re-do her life plan'. During that journey inwards, Amity discovered that what she loved most was working with people to help them discover their true North Star coordinates. Amity returned to school for a second master's degree in mental health counseling and stepped into the arena to become a trained equine-assisted psychotherapist while incorporating all her entrepreneurial know-how to help other in-service professionals uncover and reach their full potential in life. Amity continues to pursue her passions–traveling the world and spending days alongside her equine partners Steely Rose and Admiral, and surrounding herself with a special group of entrepreneurs, healers, and innovators, who feel the call to help and serve others, live abundantly, and who have opted into living fully present to each and every moment that arises.

For years, I chased extremes—bingeing, purging, over-exercising, partying—searching for control, validation, and worth. But what I didn't realize was that food, fitness, and discipline weren't the real problem. They were just symptoms of a deeper wound. This podcast is about breaking free—from self-sabotage, destructive habits, and the false beliefs that keep us small. Through raw storytelling, deep insights, and conversations that challenge everything you think you know, I'm here to help you heal at the root.

The Reality of Emotional Numbness Most people don't even realize they're in it until someone puts it into words. You wake up, go through the motions, handle responsibilities, maybe even accomplish big things, but inside, there's nothing. No spark, no deep emotion. The things that used to excite you don't anymore, and the things that should hurt barely register. You laugh, but it's hollow. You succeed, but it feels empty. Life happens, but you're watching from a distance. It's not just exhaustion or a rough patch—it's emotional shutdown. It happens slowly, the result of years spent suppressing emotions, avoiding pain, and pushing forward without processing life. At first, it feels like self-preservation, but over time, it costs you your ability to truly feel. The truth is, emotional numbness doesn't just happen. It's a survival response. Maybe it started with unresolved pain—childhood trauma, heartbreak, rejection, or loss—where shutting down felt safer than feeling everything. Maybe you've spent years in survival mode, constantly overwhelmed by stress, pressure, or responsibility, and your nervous system adapted by numbing out. Or maybe you've lost yourself entirely, molding your identity to meet expectations, suppressing your real thoughts and emotions until the version of you that exists isn't even real anymore. Eventually, you don't just numb the pain—you numb everything. If this resonates, listen to Episode 245 of The Kate Hastings Podcast on Apple iTunes and Spotify.

What if I told you that every time you allow someone to cross your boundaries, you're teaching them that it's okay to disrespect you? Think about it.

The relationship that drains you because you're always the one compromising. Hard Truth: This isn't about them—it's about YOU. Because people will always push as far as you let them. But today? That changes. Phenyx Fit Kate Hastings Podcast @coachkate1 Mental Health Coach

Comparison is a thief. It steals your joy, your confidence, your momentum. It convinces you that you're behind, that you're missing something, that your worth is measured against someone else's success. But here's the truth: you're on your own path. You are not behind. You are not lacking. The second you stop looking sideways and start focusing on your mission, you take back your power. Every moment spent comparing is a moment wasted. The people you envy? They have struggles too. The ones winning? They're too busy working to waste time worrying about someone else's progress. Winners don't compare, they execute.So ask yourself—what if today was the day you stopped waiting for permission and started living like the person you were meant to be? One day, you'll wish you had started sooner. So don't waste another second. No more watching. No more measuring. No more waiting. The world doesn't need another version of someone else—it needs you, fully owning who you are. So go. Build. Become.

Eldin shared his decision to abstain from alcohol two and a half years ago, citing its hazardous nature and the potential for addiction. Erik agreed, emphasizing that alcohol is a drug and can lead to severe consequences, including cancer and dependency. They both agreed that the benefits of not drinking alcohol, such as improved mental and physical health, outweigh the costs. They also discussed the importance of understanding one's biology and physiology to make informed decisions about substance use.Personal Journeys and Self-Reflection ImportanceErik and Eldin discussed their personal journeys and the importance of self-reflection and self-care. Erik shared his experiences of struggling with drugs and alcohol, and how he eventually found solace in spirituality and a relationship with God. He emphasized the importance of recognizing one's character defects and working on them. Eldin agreed, highlighting the need for individuals to carve out time for self-care and spiritual growth. They also discussed the significance of community and the need to contribute positively to it. The conversation ended with a mutual understanding of the transformative power of self-reflection and positive behaviors.Human Connection and Mental Well-BeingEldin and Erik discussed the importance of human connection and the impact of isolation on mental and physical well-being. They highlighted that humans are wired for connection and that isolation leads to increased stress hormones, while connection triggers the release of feel-good chemicals like oxytocin, endorphins, dopamine, and serotonin. They also discussed the dangers of relying on exogenous substances like drugs and alcohol to achieve these chemicals, as it can lead to a disconnection from one's inner self and a temporary, artificial high. Eldin further explained the concept of "in spirit" and "enthusiasm" originating from Greek words, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a connection to one's inner self and spirit.Bio: Erik Frederickson is a husband, father, and one of the top-ranked Sober and Mental Health Coaches in the U.S.With over a decade of coaching experience and more than 15 years in recovery from drugs and alcohol, Erik is a certified Sober Coach, Mental Health Coach, and Life Coach.

Failure doesn't happen overnight—it creeps in when you justify excuses, tolerate low standards, and let hesitation win. Success isn't talent, luck, or motivation—it's discipline, execution, and refusing to negotiate with weakness. If you don't control your time, distractions will. If you don't audit your environment, mediocrity will feel normal. The people who win aren't the ones who feel ready; they're the ones who move anyway, track their progress, and outwork their old selves daily. Every decision either starves failure or feeds it—there is no neutral. Half-effort guarantees failure a front-row seat, but full execution suffocates it before it takes root. So ask yourself: Are you feeding success, or are you feeding failure? Because at the end of the day, you don't get what you want—you get what you demand. Now move. Phenyx Fit Kate Hastings Podcast @coachkate1 Mental Health Coach
Standards, values and boundaries on their own, are just ideas. They don't define you—your actions do. Saying you value discipline, honesty, or respect is meaningless unless you have the structure to back it up. That structure comes from principles, standards, and boundaries. Principles are the internal rules that guide your decisions, especially when motivation fades or external pressure builds. Standards are the actions that prove your values in real life, holding you accountable to what you claim to stand for. Boundaries protect those standards, ensuring that distractions, people, or excuses don't pull you off course. Take discipline as an example. If you say you value discipline, then your principle might be: “I do what needs to be done, no matter how I feel.” Your standard would be showing up, training, working, and executing, even when you're tired or uninspired. Your boundary would be refusing to let external distractions—social events, late nights, negativity—interfere with your set priorities. Most people claim to have values, but their actions tell a different story. The real question is: Are you proving yours? Phenyx Fit Kate Hastings Podcast @coachkate1 Mental Health Coach
Every single interaction you have sends a message about how you expect to be treated. Whether you realize it or not, you're always teaching people how to treat you. People will only treat you the way you allow them to. Boundaries aren't just something you set—they're the blueprint for how people engage with you. Every interaction is a lesson in what you accept, what you challenge, and what you refuse to tolerate. If you tolerate mistreatment, disrespect, or inconsistency, guess what? You just taught them that it's okay. Silence is dangerous—if you don't speak up, you're sending the message that you're fine with whatever's happening. People will push as far as you let them, and if you're inconsistent with your standards, they'll test those limits over and over again. Self-respect is the foundation—if you don't respect yourself, don't expect anyone else to either. Saying “no” but giving in teaches people your boundaries are flexible, and once they see a crack, they'll keep pushing. The way you handle conflict tells people exactly how far they can go with you. At the end of the day, you don't demand respect—you show people how to give it by what you tolerate, what you walk away from, and how you hold the line.

The Hard Truth: Success Isn't Comfortable If you're chasing comfort, you're not chasing success. Success doesn't live in ease or convenience—it's forged in discomfort, sacrifice, and persistence. It's not about fleeting motivation or luck; it's about showing up every day, doing the work, and embracing the struggle. True success doesn't come from a single trait or effort. It's built on the interconnection of resilience, discipline, and courage. These three traits don't stand alone—they form a powerful feedback loop where each one fuels and strengthens the others. Together, they create the foundation for meaningful, lasting growth and achievement. Phenyx Fit Kate Hastings Podcast @coachkate1 Mental Health Coach

Plateaus, those moments when progress stalls and frustration sets in, are not roadblocks but opportunities for growth. They force us to reflect, recalibrate, and prepare for the next level. Growth isn't linear—it's a cycle of effort and renewal. By embracing plateaus as a natural part of the process, we can transform them into powerful tools for transformation. Often, plateaus arise from two key factors: complacency and burnout. Success can lead us to settle into a comfort zone, avoiding the discomfort needed for further growth. On the other hand, relentless effort without rest can drain motivation and focus. Balance is key—recovery isn't weakness; it's the fuel that drives sustained progress. Breaking through a plateau requires a shift in mindset. It's often internal fears or self-doubt, not lack of ability, that hold us back. Developing self-awareness through journaling and reframing limiting beliefs can help. By addressing these mental roadblocks, you open the door to new possibilities and a renewed sense of purpose.

What does it mean to be a competent human being? Competence is about your ability to handle life's challenges effectively by building the skills, habits, and mindset you need—it's not about being perfect or naturally talented. It's about showing up, learning from mistakes, and growing through action. True confidence comes from competence; it's the quiet belief that you can handle what life throws at you because you've proven it to yourself. Competent people take responsibility, adapt to change, and stay grounded under pressure. They're disciplined, resilient, and willing to keep showing up, even when it's hard. It's not about having it all figured out—it's about knowing you can keep moving forward. Start small, stay consistent, and remember that the journey to competence is what makes you stronger.

Discipline isn't just action—it's purposeful, meaningful action. Without a clear "why" tied to your core beliefs, values, and human needs, discipline becomes hollow, aimless, and unsustainable. True discipline has roots. It's about alignment—anchoring your actions in what truly matters to you. Your values shape your standards, your standards establish your boundaries, and your boundaries foster habits that align with both your aspirations and fundamental human needs. These habits drive consistent action, creating results that resonate deeply with your sense of purpose and fulfillment. That entire chain of command reinforces the identity of someone who is disciplined. It's not just a skill set; leadership isn't just logic. It requires an emotional connection to purpose and people. It's a way of life—it's who you are. Phenyx Fit Kate Hastings Podcast @coachkate1 Mental Health Coach

In a world where external validation feels like currency, it's easy to tether your worth to fleeting approval, losing sight of who you truly are. Rejecting parts of yourself—your shadow, shame, or unowned truths—allows external forces to dictate your value, leaving you stuck in a relentless cycle of seeking and self-rejection. When your sense of self is tied to what others think, you sacrifice authenticity, living for their approval instead of your own purpose. This creates a disconnect from your true identity and keeps you trapped in behaviors like people-pleasing and perfectionism, which drain your energy and erode your confidence. True freedom begins with embracing internal validation, taking ownership of every part of yourself, and living in alignment with your values—creating a foundation of worth that no external force can shake.

When you walk through a difficult season or support a loved one through theirs, it can be challenging to admit you don't feel equipped to handle it.But the truth is trying to fix it is actually not what people need the most.

Can I trust this person? This is a big question, especially after a betrayal has occurred.The deeper the wound, the longer the repair will take. But not all repairs are equal. You see, there is a difference between wise trust and blind trust. Of course, there is space for grace in relationships, but it shouldn't be sloppy grace where deceptions and dysfunctions are glossed over.In this episode, Lysa, Jim and Joel will help you see that rebuilding trust requires a combination of three crucial things.Related Resources: We'd like to thank the American Association of Christian Counselors for partnering with us to sponsor Season 7 of Therapy & Theology.
