Are you thriving or just surviving? Steve Magness joins Kevin to discuss how many of us operate in psychological survival mode far more often than we realize, treating everyday workplace challenges as threats rather than growth opportunities. They explore the psychological traps of modern stress responses, protective systems, and the impact of flattening our identities. They also cover accepting “messiness”, the balance between short-term comfort and long-term growth, redefining success, and why authenticity must go beyond performance to resonate.

Unshakeable: Redefining Success on Your Own Terms In the pursuit of success, many individuals find themselves chasing external markers—such as wealth, recognition, or status—believing that these achievements will bring them happiness and fulfillment. However, as discussed in the podcast episode, true success, or "elegant success," is fundamentally about creating a life that aligns with your personal values and brings genuine satisfaction. Host Tonya Leigh explores the concept of elegant success—success that is rooted in personal values, alignment, and ease, rather than societal pressures to do more and be more. Tonya shares her reflections on the importance of creating a fulfilling life that feels good on the inside, as well as the challenges many are facing in today's uncertain world. Drawing from her personal experiences, including navigating her own emotional landscape during difficult times, she emphasizes the significance of managing one's nervous system and internal world to cultivate resilience and peace. Tune in for insights that challenge traditional definitions of success and encourage listeners to redefine what it means to thrive. Talking Points: 00:33 - Rethinking Success 01:15 - Uncertainty and the Nervous System 03:02 - Leading Through Uncertainty 05:44 - Elegant Success: What No One Tells You 07:08 - The Messiness of Success 10:07 - Life and Business Changes 13:10 - Trusting Your Gut 16:21 - Releasing with Grace 18:05 - Feeling Lost Before Clarity 20:15 - Shedding Old Identities 23:04 - The Emptiness of Misaligned Success 25:01 - Reconnecting with Your Essence 26:05 - Navigating Back to Your North Star Quotes: "What if the real flex is creating a life that feels as good on the inside as it looks on the outside?" "Elegant success is creating the life you desire without abandoning yourself in the process." "I've encountered so much peace by just accepting that it's going to feel elegant and then it's going to feel messy again." "You cannot evolve and expect everyone to come with you." "The doubt that you may be feeling, well, it's not failure, it's just feedback." "I started to trade my truth for someone else's checklist, and I was shaping my life around approval instead of alignment."

Doubt your impact as a mother (or a mother figure)? Don't—and we'll tell you why. In this special Mother's Day week episode, Darlene Brock and Julie Bender dissect the complicated role of being a mom. With days that are challenging, rewarding, or a heavy mixture of both, motherhood may incite guilt or prompt you to question whether you're doing anything right. The good news? If you're doing your best, you're absolutely doing it right. Darlene and Julie share their own personal motherhood anecdotes and offer encouragement for those days when you feel exhausted and uncertain. You have a bond with your child that can't be replicated in any of their other relationships. Even when you're not sure your child hears you or understands you or agrees with you, the way you show them your love will be the thread tying you together even in the most difficult seasons. Quote of the episode: “Even when you're messing up, it's important to remember that God put you here with this child for a reason for a season for a purpose.”—Julie Bender Resources Related "I Made a Change—and It Brought My Prodigal Home" "How Do We Handle the Messiness of Motherhood? with Laila Schell - 168" "A Little Encouragement with Motherhood Is Disappointing" Check out the Smart Living book series here!

If you're somewhere between breaking down and breaking through—this episode is for you! In this episode of Tami Talks: Unscripted Healing, Tami sits down with her Bestie and Soul Sister, Brittany, to explore the raw, unfiltered journey of emotional growth, midlife transitions, and learning to love our mess. From a dietitian who needed to reset her own health to a counselor who realized she needed therapy, this episode dives into the heart of what it means to release guilt and shame around our stories. Together, Tami and Brittany unpack the emotional layers of midlife "crisis" (or awakening), the freedom in vulnerability, and how true healing begins when we stop trying to fix everything and start feeling everything. They discuss how to process anger, redefine success, support other women without feeling like a burden, and hold space without becoming the “fixer.” The episode also explores spiritual signs, intuitive nudges, and the importance of safe spaces where hard conversations aren't just normalized—they're necessary.

The patient-doctor relationship is complicated and fraught. Patients often feel confused and talked down to, in part because doctors feel like they need to project authority. As a physician and a poet, Laura Kolbe is trying to make room for uncertainty and humility from both sides in the exam room. Kolbe's new collection of poetry, Little Pharma, explores the messy and human side of doctoring. And: The Covid-19 pandemic has exposed so many vulnerabilities in our healthcare system, from racial inequities to provider burnout. Irène Mathieu is a writer, pediatrician, and medical teacher. She argues that poetry can be a small part of fixing those vulnerabilities. Later in the show: What if the difference between the right diagnosis and the wrong diagnosis is whether or not a doctor thinks you're believable? Cathryn Molloy shares why education, socio-economic status, and especially gender influence how doctors listen to and treat their patients. Plus: What happens when we empower on-the-ground healthcare workers like nurses with the ability to solve problems and make real changes in their workplace? Nursing and design thinking expert Erica Lewis says the lives of both healthcare workers and patients are transformed.

In this conversation, Dana K White shares her journey from being a messy person to becoming a decluttering expert, emphasizing the connection between home management and spirituality in her new book: *Jesus Doesn't Care About Your Messy House: He Cares About Your Heart She discusses the importance of grace, understanding one's unique mindset, and practical steps for decluttering. The conversation highlights the emotional aspects of clutter, the significance of community support, and the need for authenticity in struggles. Dana encourages listeners to embrace their imperfections and focus on their hearts rather than their homes (to some extent!). Dana K White's journey began with a messy home and a desire to write. Understanding grace is crucial in managing home and heart. Decluttering is not just about physical space but emotional clarity. The container concept helps limit clutter by defining boundaries. Sentimental items can be kept if they fit within the space. Starting with visible spaces can inspire further decluttering efforts. Daily habits, like doing dishes, can prevent overwhelming clutter. Community support is vital in the decluttering process. Authenticity in struggles can inspire others facing similar challenges. It's important to focus on God's grace rather than perfection.Time stamps:00:00 Introduction to Messiness and Spirituality07:30 The Journey of Decluttering and Grace10:25 Understanding Our Unique Struggles13:30 The Impact of Comparison and Guilt16:23 Mindset Shifts in Decluttering19:22 The Container Concept Explained22:08 Sentimental Items and Their Value31:30 Choosing Regret Over Clutter32:54 Decluttering the Mind and Heart34:22 Starting with Physical Decluttering37:36 The Power of Quick Wins39:53 Daily Routines and Dishes44:36 Understanding God's Perspective on Home47:47 Authenticity in Hospitality52:31 Struggles and Real Life55:06 Dana K.

The Messiness of Mercy | February 23, 2025 by The Lutheran Church of St. Andrew
In this episode, Meg and Maggi explore the complexities of navigating uncharted territories in life. Working towards new goals can be very challenging, especially when the pressures of societal expectations come into play. They discuss their experiences with social media, the importance of community, and the journey of self-discovery. The conversation emphasizes the significance of practicing self-compassion and the value of seeking support while working towards new goals in new seasons of life. They conclude with an inspiring message about embracing imperfection and the importance of being present in the moment.Takeaways: Finding balance in choices is crucial for well-being. Self-compassion is a practice that requires effort. Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Social media can foster community and connection. Vulnerability is essential for authentic conversations. Trusting ourselves is a journey filled with challenges. Expectations can create unnecessary pressure. It's okay to change your mind about your goals. Embracing imperfection leads to personal growth. We are all in the arena, striving for our best selves.Chapters:00:00 Introduction and Vulnerability in Sharing03:28 The Power of Social Media and Community06:12 Navigating Self-Trust and Unfamiliar Territory09:12 The Messiness of Personal Growth12:15 Setting Goals and Managing Expectations15:12 The Dance of Individual Experience and Collective Influence18:17 Self-Talk and the Importance of Kindness21:20 Practicing Self-Compassion and Reflection31:35 Navigating Uncharted Territory37:21 The Journey of Self-Worth and Body Image42:07 Seeking Help and Support47:12 Making Conscious Choices55:21 Embracing Imperfection and GrowthLove,Meg & MaggiFollow us:InstagramTikTokFacebookYoutube Music curtesy of LiQWYD[social media, vulnerability, self-trust, mental health, community, authenticity, personal growth, self-compassion, expectations, journey]

This is the ninth saying in the Gospel of Thomas. Jesus said, "Look, the sower went out, took a handful of seeds, and scattered them. Some fell on the road, and the birds came and gathered them. Others fell on rock, and they didn't take root in the soil and didn't produce heads of grain. Others fell on thorns, and they choked the seeds and worms ate them. And others fell on good soil, and it produced a good crop: it yielded sixty per measure and one hundred twenty per measure."This doesn't mean what you think it means! Or what the church says it means!

In this episode, Kehla sits down with Leah, a women's empowerment and embodiment mentor who supports conscious female entrepreneurs in healing emotional and ancestral wounds, expanding their nervous system capacity, shifting their mindset, and stepping into heart-led leadership. As the host of the Mindful Evolution and Call Her Forward podcasts, Leah brings her passionate, playful, and soulful personality to her work, blending trauma-informed and somatic approaches to help women heal relationship wounds, rise confidently in their feminine power, and expand their impact in life and business. Together, Kehla and Leah dive into the beauty of embracing one's messiness and humanness as a leader, letting go of perfectionism and the need for external validation. They discuss how true leadership comes from accepting every part of your experience—your emotions, conflicts, and challenges—so you can lead yourself powerfully instead of shrinking or seeking approval from others. Leah offers insights on connecting with the inner self, integrating emotions, and navigating feelings without fear, illustrating how this deep self-connection builds authentic relationships and leadership. The conversation also explores the healing interplay between masculine and feminine energies, highlighting the importance of radical responsibility. Leah emphasizes that by recognizing how we perpetuate old pain patterns, we empower ourselves to release the past and grow—expanding not just as entrepreneurs but as women in leadership, fully embracing wholeness and authenticity.

This was supposed to be a well-thought-out, polished interview with artist and author Carissa Potter, better known as @peopleiveloved on Instagram. Instead, this turned out to be a vulnerable conversation about parents, religion, narcissism, and overall, our human-ness. Our guest today, or perhaps more accurately our co-host Carissa has over 800,000 followers on social media but the first sentence on her website says that “Carissa Potter is a human longing for connection.” She writes books, makes art & public commissions, and hosts the series Bad At Keeping Secrets (one of Substack's featured newsletter of 2022) where she talks to other humans doing really interesting things. Carissa is the founder of People I've Loved, her platform and stationary line that bridges the gaps between people by helping them have authentic and sometimes difficult conversations. She was named one of Cosmopolitan's 24 People (Genuinely) Making the World a Better Place and I couldn't agree more. This is an extraordinarily raw and real conversation about... - why Carissa wishes she had kids earlier in life - the nuances of both of our religious beliefs - what Mary's father is like - how being chronically late might be a sign of intimacy issues Remember: humans are complex creatures but at our core, all we want is connection with other humans.
