Stopping the shame spiral—what if the fastest way out isn't more willpower, but more compassion? In this episode of Alcohol Freedom Coaching, Coach Hayley supports Carol, a newly retired grandmother who felt “so far behind” after a vacation slip, and Coach Cole guides Nancy, a devoted mom caring for a daughter with complex special needs, who's learning to relax without wine and let go of “I should be doing more” guilt. Together, they model how to shift from self-blame to curiosity, build emotion-based goals (happiness, energy, motivation), and reconnect with support inside The Path. In Carol's session: Naming the belief: “I'm so far behind” vs. “I'm exactly where I'm meant to be.” Turning slips into data points—not identity—and choosing curiosity over criticism. Building emotion-based goals: happiness, energy, motivation as a north star. Breaking overwhelm: 15-minute re-entry (one video, one call, one journal prompt). Navigating travel and social events without defaulting to comparison or shame. Finding connection again: taking up space on calls even when you feel “not bad enough.” Practical reframe for 3 a.m. thoughts and night-after guilt. Tools for stopping the shame spiral after a vacation or wedding slip .…and more. In Nancy's session: Spotting guilt in the body (chest/shoulders tightness) and softening with micro-moments. Permission slips: letting older siblings help, one small experiment at a time. Replacing the 4 p.m. wine ritual with soothing, sensory evening routines. Distinguishing healthy guilt (course-correct) from toxic shame (self-attack). Creating a “treat” that isn't alcohol: porch time, breathwork, a few pages of a novel. Scripts to ask for help without apologizing for your needs.How curiosity interrupts ruminating about “not doing enough.” Practical ideas for stopping the shame spiral when responsibilities feel nonstop .…and more. Hayley Scherders is a certified TNM Coach with training from the Canadian Addiction and Mental Health Association.

We are back from our Palm Springs retreat, and feeling so lit up to share what we felt and observed in our magical container! In this episode, we dive into the deeper themes that are surfacing during this powerful transitional time. As we move closer to 2027 and the energetic shift into a new paradigm, we explore what it means to consciously "midwife" change—both collectively and in our personal lives. From redefining leadership and healing romantic partnerships to understanding Human Design bonding mechanics like Penta and Wa dynamics, this conversation weaves together vulnerability, growth, community, and the courage to evolve without abandoning ourselves. If you've been feeling the crumbling, the intensity, or the call to deeper connection, this episode is your reminder: you are not alone—and your growth matters. Key Takeaways: Why we are midwifing a New Paradigm as old systems crumble, and how we're being called to hold multiple truths at once: rage and love, grief and hope, fear and expansion. The power of conscious community (Wa) and small group dynamics (Penta)—and why understanding the energetic differences between partnership, family Penta (3–5 people), and larger Wa groups can be life-changing. Why many women are experiencing rapid emotional and spiritual growth and feeling the tension of "outgrowing" their partners—and how to navigate that space without ego, judgment, or self-abandonment while honoring your own evolution. How leadership is being reimagined in the New Paradigm, and why emotional intelligence, vulnerability, collaboration, and heart-led strength are rising as powerful forces in this next era. Partnership as a spiritual practice. Why true conscious partnership, whether romantic or business, isn't about sameness but about loving across differences, healing ego, and allowing relationships to make you more alive, not smaller. Why Human Design bonding mechanics matter now more than ever, and how these advanced dynamics offer profound clarity for navigating relationships in both our personal and professional lives. 64 Gates & Gene Keys Mastery Course FREE Transits & The Harmonic Gate Mini-Course FREE Human Design Readings 101 Masterclass Book a Reading With Us Here!

Empowered Relationship Podcast: Your Relationship Resource And Guide
There's a silent struggle that many couples face—issues of pain, discomfort, or disconnection in intimate life that go unspoken and unattended. For so long, pelvic floor challenges have been seen as private burdens to bear alone, surrounded by stigma or confusion about where to turn for help. But what if we viewed these not as individual problems, but as shared matters that impact the whole relationship? Could better understanding and open conversation actually transform your intimacy and emotional connection? In this episode, you'll discover how pelvic floor health influences pleasure, pain, and intimacy—and why these challenges are best faced together, not solo. Drawing from expert insights and practical guidance, you'll learn how increased awareness and communication can bridge the gap between partners, foster support and compassion, and empower you with tools for healing. Whether you're struggling silently or simply want to deepen trust and connection, this conversation offers actionable steps and hope for anyone ready to turn hidden struggle into shared strength. Since 2007, Dr. Sara Reardon has been caring for people's pelvic floors as a board-certified pelvic floor physical therapist. She is the Founder of The V-Hive, an online pelvic floor workout platform for pregnancy, postpartum, menopause, painful sex, and pelvic floor strengthening. As The Vagina Whisperer on Instagram and TikTok, she has hundreds of thousands of followers. She is the author of FLOORED: A Woman's Guide to Pelvic Floor Health at Every Age and Stage. Episode Highlights 03:53 Understanding pelvic floor anatomy and its impact on intimacy. 07:50 Breaking stigma and introducing pelvic health conversations. 09:37 The role of partners and destigmatizing pelvic floor challenges. 14:47 Exploring pelvic floor dysfunction: Causes and effects on relationships. 18:56 Pelvic floor health and sexual pleasure.. 21:16 Exploring arousal: Physical and emotional components. 23:13 Daily habits and exercises for intimate health. 28:26 Tools, devices, and progression in pelvic floor therapy. 36:35 Debunking myths: Arousal, climax, and individual differences.

Openly discuss pelvic health and intimacy challenges with your partner to reduce shame and foster teamwork. Attend pelvic floor therapy sessions together when possible for shared education and support. Practice mindful urination and bowel movements—sit fully, breathe, and avoid straining or "power peeing." Incorporate pelvic-friendly exercises such as yoga poses (e.g., child's pose, pigeon, happy baby) to encourage muscle relaxation. Explore self-stimulation privately to discover which types of touch and stimulation are most pleasurable or comfortable. Consider using vaginal trainers or dilators, starting small and gradually increasing size, and involve your partner for support and collaboration.

In this episode of SolFul Connections, Amanda connects with counselor and community activist Ariel Virk, MA, LPC, a woman who embodies a rare and beautiful balance: deep gentleness paired with fierce protection.The daughter of immigrant parents from Honduras and India, Ariel shares what it was like growing up between cultures, learning to navigate identity, belonging, and the quiet art of code-switching. She reflects on how her heritage shaped her worldview, her empathy, and ultimately her calling to become a therapist.Ariel speaks candidly about the emotional weight of counseling work and the intentional practices that help her stay grounded. But this conversation goes deeper than biography.It explores what it means to stand up to bullies, beyond the classroom, in systems, and in society. Ariel shares why community activism is not separate from her work as a therapist but deeply intertwined with it. For her, protecting others is not performative. It is personal.Together, Amanda and Ariel talk about:Navigating multicultural identity as a child of immigrantsThe quiet strength required to hold space for othersWhy joy can be an act of resistanceThe importance of community in healingSelf-care that goes beyond bubble bathsAnd the kind of courage that is both soft and unshakableAriel's name means “Lion of God,” and yet her power doesn't always show up as a roar. Sometimes it looks like steady presence. Sometimes it sounds like a calm voice saying, “That's not okay.” Sometimes it's the quiet strength of someone who stands guard over others without needing applause.If you've ever wondered how to stay tender in a world that can feel hard, this conversation is for you.

Episode 147: Workers' Comp Doctor Rules in California, Your Rights Inside the MPN System If you were injured at work in California, your employer may send you to a specific doctor, but does that mean you have no choice? In this episode of Work Comp Talk, host Carmen Ramirez and attorney Bilal Kassam explain one of the most misunderstood parts of California workers' compensation: your right to choose and change your treating doctor. Many injured workers don't realize that the doctor managing their care can directly affect disability benefits, work restrictions, medical reports, and even settlement value. What Most Workers Don't Realize You don't always have to stay with the first doctor your employer sends you to. Your medical choices can change as your case progresses. The treating doctor controls more than treatment. They influence benefits, work status, and settlement value. The MPN limits options, but you still have rights inside the system. Denied treatment does not always mean denied benefits. Missing medical appointments weakens your case documentation. Early decisions in a workers' comp case have long-term consequences. Chapters: 00:00 Understanding Your Rights in Workers' Comp 03:07 Navigating the Medical Provider Network 05:58 The Role of Your Treating Physician 09:04 The Importance of Medical Records 11:44 Changing Your Doctor: When and How 14:57 The Consequences of Missing Appointments 18:00 Advocating for Your Medical Needs 21:14 Final Thoughts on Workers' Comp Rights When workers don't understand this early, decisions made in the first 30–60 days can affect their financial stability for years. Education gives injured workers control and control is protection. This episode is sponsored by Pacific Workers, The Lawyers for Injured Workers, the trusted workers' compensation law firm in Northern California. With over 10,000 cases won and more than $350 million recovered for injured workers, we are here to help if you've suffered a workplace injury.

This week, Jason is joined by the hilarious Corporate Bro, Ross Pomerantz!He is someone who has lived in the high pressure, high performance world of corporate fiance and selling at Oracle and actually has the scars and stories to prove it. Ross brings a real unfiltered hilarious perspective in what enterprise sales really looks like behind the scenes. From ambition and burnout to the funny trade-offs nobody talks about unless you're deep in it, he is covering it all. He is a speaker, investor, entrepreneur, and massive creator. Ross breaks down everything from playing two seasons of Single-A pro baseball to selling luxury apartments in Oakland during Occupy Wall Street, and the identity shift from athlete to enterprise sales at Oracle. He shares what it was like training to cold call, navigating an identity crisis, and clarifying that “Corporate Bro” was always meant to satirize the industry — not glorify it — after getting his start on Vine in 2013. We dive into spending a decade in sales before business school, negotiating lessons, trusting timing, and earning admission to Stanford, along with the fear of fully committing to content creation and how he scripts and produces highly shareable videos with his team. He also talks about appearing in a Super Bowl commercial alongside Matthew McConaughey for Salesforce, leveraging opportunities on LinkedIn, his speaking business, co-hosting a podcast with Corporate Natalie, angel investing, building alongside his wife, and what's next.Ross reveals all this and so much more in another episode you can't afford to miss!Host: Jason TartickCo-Host: David ArduinAudio: John GurneyGuest: Corporate Bro Ross PomerantzStay connected with the Trading Secrets Podcast!

Navigating the wild world of AI and digital spaces is no joke, especially for the church. Dr. Jeffery D. Skinner dives deep into the importance of embodied authority and the need for trust in our communities as we face these tech-driven challenges. It's not just about having a fancy title anymore; it's about being present and relatable. In a world where AI can create convincing imitations of voices and content, knowing your pastor's voice becomes crucial. Think about it—if a controversial video of your pastor popped up online, would you know if it was real or fake? That's where trust comes in, and that trust is built through authentic relationships. Skinner emphasizes that instead of retreating from the digital battlefield, the church should boldly step into this mission field, engaging with the tools available to foster community and discernment. After all, the gospel's authenticity is something algorithms can't replicate, and as church leaders, we need to prepare our communities to navigate this new terrain wisely. So, let's not just survive; let's thrive in this digital age by building resilient communities that embody love and support.TakeawaysThe church must respond to digital challenges with clarity and trust.Embodied authority is crucial in a world where reality can be faked.Adaptive leadership is necessary for navigating the next decade.Digital environments shape our perceptions and realities.Authority now comes from trust and presence, not just titles.Discipleship includes teaching discernment in a digital age.The church should not withdraw from digital mission fields.Building resilient communities is essential for trust.Technology can isolate, but the church offers relational abundance.The gospel's authenticity cannot be simulated by algorithms.Navigating the wild world of AI and digital spaces is no joke, especially for the church.

In this episode of The Addicted Mind, we dive deep into the world of experiential therapy with Steve Buckby, a seasoned therapist with over 50 years of experience. Steve shares his profound insights into the Virginia Satir Model and how its principles of change, the "Mandala," and the "Iceberg" can be powerful tools for those struggling with addiction.We explore the idea of addiction as a "lover" that must be grieved, the necessity of walking through chaos to find a new status quo, and why the relationship between therapist and client is a collaborative journey of human-to-human connection.Key TakeawaysThe Process of Change: Change isn't a straight line; it requires moving from a familiar (even if painful) status quo, through a "foreign element" that sparks chaos, and finally into a new, healthier balance.Addiction as a "Lover": Recovery often involves a grieving process similar to the stages of grief described by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross. Letting go of a substance is often like losing a significant, albeit toxic, relationship.The Satir Mandala: Understanding the physical, intellectual, emotional, sensual, interactional, nutritional, contextual, and spiritual dimensions of ourselves to find true balance.Vulnerability & Connection: Addiction thrives in isolation. Healing begins when we take the risk to be "real" and vulnerable within a supportive community or therapeutic relationship.Education as Empowerment: Understanding the physiology of addiction helps separate the person from the "ism," reducing shame and fostering self-forgiveness.Understanding the Satir ModelSteve explains that human beings naturally seek a Status Quo. In addiction, that status quo is the cycle of use. To break it, a "Foreign Element" (a crisis, a choice, or an intervention) must disrupt the system.The Stages of TransformationOld Status QuoThe familiar, predictable way of living (even if dysfunctional). Foreign ElementAn event or realization that makes the old status quo no longer viable.ChaosThe "limbo" period where old patterns don't work and new ones aren't yet formed. Integration Learning new strategies and internalizing resources. New Status Quo A state of higher functioning, self-compassion, and awareness.The "Iceberg Theory"Steve also touches on the Iceberg Theory, which suggests that behavior (the tip of the iceberg) is driven by much deeper levels of feelings, perceptions, expectations, yearnings, and the "Self.""The story is not the problem; the meaning of the story is really important." — Steve BuckbyBy shifting the meaning we give to our past trauma and choices, we can move from shame to positive-directional change.About Our Guest: Steve BuckbySteve Buckby is a certified social worker and licensed professional counselor based in Escanaba, Michigan. Practicing since the early 1970s, Steve has dedicated his career to outpatient and inpatient care, as well as teaching the experiential methods of Virginia Satir to the next generation of healers.Connect with Steve:Email: sbucb@charter.netResources MentionedVirginia Satir Global NetworkThe Kübler-Ross Stages of GriefMindfulness PracticesEnjoyed the show?

In this episode of the Translating ADHD podcast, Asher and Dusty explore how to manage difficult seasons of struggle, especially when living with ADHD. They focus on the importance of simple, flexible routines—not perfectionist or rigid ones—that support basic self-care such as hygiene, tidying, and sleep. Asher shares a personal moment of realizing the need to slow down and create a manageable morning routine, while Dusty highlights how routines can serve as freedom rather than restriction. The conversation emphasizes building routines that fit individual needs, acknowledging that what works for one person may not work for another. A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to discussing sleep challenges and strategies for improving sleep hygiene. Both hosts note how lack of sleep compounds executive dysfunction and emotional dysregulation common with ADHD. They share client examples illustrating different nighttime routines tailored to individual preferences and stress the importance of incorporating “luxury time” or moments of joy into these routines as positive motivation. Ultimately, the episode encourages listeners to prioritize incremental progress in sleep and self-care, using routines as supportive tools to navigate struggle with kindness and flexibility.
