This episode features Victoria Ali  (Lancaster University, Lancaster, UK. Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Bradford, UK)   What is already known about the topic? Nurses deliver care for patients and those important to them across acts that may intentionally or potentially hasten death, navigating this care within the boundaries of healthcare systems and professional regulation. The increase in permissive legislation relating to assisted dying is challenging healthcare professionals to consider how an assisted death sits alongside accepted or ‘traditional' healthcare practices at the end of life. Providing care in these situations can be challenging and requires emotional labour to navigate.   What this paper adds? This review allows recognition of how the emotional labour involved in providing care, and its subsequent impact, is often better recognised within assisted dying than for other acts that may be perceived as death hastening. The ‘normalising' of care, and consequently dying, within acts that may be perceived as hastening death limits the recognition of the emotional labour required for nurses to provide care in these circumstances. When supporting a patient through an assisted death, nurses focus on optimising the experience for the patient, whereas in other acts that may hasten death, nurses' primary focus is on the experience of those present with the patient.   Implications for practice, theory, or policy The impact on nurses' emotional well-being due to the expectation to engage in significant emotional labour, in all care that may be perceived as death hastening, should be considered in daily practice, policy and organisational structure. The provision of emotional support should be considered for nurses when involved in the delivery of care that may hasten death, either through intentional acts (an assisted death) or unintended consequence of the care. Normalising care that may be perceived as death-hastening can impact nurses' feelings of agency within care delivery and may need to be considered in jurisdictions with permissive assisted dying legislation as these practices embed within organisations.     Full paper available from:     https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/02692163251331162   If you would like to record a podcast about your published (or accepted) Palliative Medicine paper, please contact Dr Amara Nwosu:  a.nwosu@lancaster.ac.uk

Why do some people stay in toxic workplaces?Because sometimes, it feels familiar.If you grew up in an unsupportive or estranged family, you might have learned early on that approval and safety come at a cost. Maybe you had to compete for attention. Maybe speaking up led to punishment. Maybe you learned that keeping the peace was more important than being heard.Fast forward to your career.You enter a workplace where toxic dynamics thrive, where leaders play favourites, pit employees against each other, or make you feel like you have to prove your worth every day. And instead of seeing the red flags, you normalise them. You tolerate the dysfunction. Maybe, without realizing it, you even contribute to it.Because once upon a time, that was survival.Today I'm sitting down with Becca Bland, a journalist, researcher, and leading advocate for family estrangement awareness. She founded Stand Alone, the UK's only non-profit for estranged individuals, and has driven groundbreaking research and policy change. Her work has been featured in The Guardian, BBC, The New York Times, and more.

Nicky became extremely curious as to what had happened and as a result reimagined her approach to her career and motherhood - learning what it takes to thrive both as a leader, mother and woman and for the last 20 years, Nicky has been an executive coach specialising in helping her clients achieve success in their lives without sacrificing their health or wellbeing.  Referenced during this episode:https://luminate-group.co.uk/Other reading from Jean Gomes and Scott Allender: Leading In A Non-Linear World (J Gomes, 2023)The Enneagram of Emotional Intelligence (S Allender, 2023)Social:Instagram           @evolvingleaderLinkedIn             The Evolving Leader PodcastTwitter               @Evolving_LeaderBluesky            @evolvingleader.bsky.socialYouTube           @evolvingleader The Evolving Leader is researched, written and presented by Jean Gomes and Scott Allender with production by Phil Kerby.

Julie Hutchison kicks off by addressing what many of us know as "imposter syndrome," though she's quick to debunk the term. It's not a syndrome, she explains; you're not broken. Instead, it's a very human response that stems from our brain's primitive mechanisms for survival. Drawing on the analogy of a caveman running from a lion, Julie highlights how our amygdala – a small but powerful part of our brain – is constantly scanning for threats. While this helped keep our ancestors alive, today it manifests in ways that can hold us back, like procrastination, perfectionism, or a fear of failure.  Julie Hutchison explains that imposter syndrome tends to rear its head in situations where the challenge is high, and the support is low. This dynamic creates a fertile ground for self-doubt, fear, and inaction. Whether it's a business owner hesitating to approach a big client, or someone avoiding a difficult team conversation, the root cause is often the same: the brain perceives these situations as threats, triggering a fight, flight, or freeze response. Julie encourages listeners to normalise these feelings. After all, over 70% of people report experiencing imposter syndrome at some point. Acknowledging that this is a universal human experience can be a huge relief and a powerful first step towards overcoming it.  A key takeaway from this episode is the importance of support. Julie Hutchison emphasises that when faced with high challenges, increasing your support levels can make a world of difference. This could mean reaching out to peers, joining a community, or even just having an honest conversation with a trusted mentor. Normalising these challenges within a supportive environment helps to calm the nervous system, shifting us out of panic mode and into a space where we can think and act more clearly. In fact, Julie points out that simply talking about our fears can reduce their intensity and make them feel more manageable.  One standout moment in the episode is Julie Hutchison's advice on calming our biology. When we're stuck in inaction, it's often because our bodies are in a heightened state of stress. Julie suggests simple techniques like shaking out your energy, taking a deep breath, or even having a laugh with others to bring your nervous system back to a place of calm. From there, you're in a much better position to tackle the challenge at hand.  We also touch on how limiting beliefs, often formed during childhood, can contribute to feelings of inadequacy or self-doubt. Whether it's something a teacher, parent, or peer once said, these beliefs can lodge in our subconscious and shape the way we view ourselves and our capabilities. Julie encourages listeners to challenge these outdated beliefs and replace them with a more objective, empowered perspective. The goal isn't to ignore the challenge but to balance it with the right level of support and self-awareness.  One of the most inspiring parts of this episode is when we discuss the power of peer groups. I share a story from a recent MSP Growth Hub meeting, where one business owner openly admitted feeling out of control. What followed was a roomful of peers offering support, sharing their own experiences, and ultimately normalising what could have felt like a solitary struggle. Julie Hutchison highlights how valuable these communities can be, providing not only practical guidance but also the emotional reassurance that you're not alone.  For those who might be tackling challenges solo, Julie suggests starting by increasing your own support structures. Whether that's tapping into resources like AI tools (yes, even ChatGPT!), joining a network of like-minded professionals, or seeking advice from a coach, the key is to avoid isolating yourself. High challenges don't have to be faced with low support.  To wrap up, Julie Hutchison leaves us with an important reminder: you are not alone and feeling stuck or unsure is not a sign of failure. It's a sign of being human. By acknowledging your feelings, seeking support, and taking small steps forward, you can start to overcome the barriers that hold you back. As always, the MSP Growth Hub is here to help you through these challenges, with resources, coaching, and a supportive community ready to assist.  Connect on LinkedIn HERE with Ian and also with Stuart by clicking this LINK  And when you're ready to take the next step in growing your MSP, come and take the Scale with Confidence MSP Mastery Quiz.

This week I delve into ‘the Big O' - aka Overwhelm, with Carla Miller.  Carla is a leadership coach and best-selling author of ‘Closing The Influence Gap: A practical guide for women leaders who want to be heard' which reached #1 in the Amazon charts for Business Leadership Skills and was a finalist in the 2023 Business Book Awards.  Carla was CEO of Tiny Tickers and then Managing Director of Charity People, a leading charity recruitment consultancy alongside founding her own coaching business. She is also the host of the chart-topping podcast – Influence & Impact for Female Leaders    We start with chatting about Carla's own brushes with overwhelm, and move on to examine how overwhelm and burnout are linked, plus Carla's experience of early menopause and why menopause can often contribute to feelings of overwhelm.    Carla tells us a few of her strategies for managing overwhelm including: Normalising that most people feel overwhelm at some point in their lives. No one is giving 100% all the time. Figuring out what we might be able to ‘care less' about at times we might be struggling. Coping with company cultures that have a tendency to keep overloading employees: I love Carla's suggested wording “that sounds amazing, we are fully committed at the moment, so if we are going to start doing that what are we going to stop, to make the space for that?” How to avoid over committing - how many ‘shoulds' are real and how many are our own expectations of ourselves or perceived expectations of others. Unless it's a ‘hell yes!” don't commit to things on the spot - buy yourself some time to think about it before saying yes and then regretting it (or worse, resenting them!).   We also cover ‘non-promotable tasks' in the workplace (aka office housework), as well as the differences in the types of feedback that men and women get in the workplace. Coincidentally, the same day I wrote these shownotes, I came across these stats from a recent report: About 76% of top-performing working women received negative feedback from their bosses compared to just 2% of high-achieving men (according to a new report from management software company Textio, which analysed stats performance reviews for more than 23,000 workers across over 250 organisations). About 88% of these outstanding women workers receive feedback on their personalities, while the same is true for only 12% of their male counterparts, according to the report.   As Carla rightly points out, prioritizing our own needs is not selfish. Many of us feel uncomfortable advocating for ourselves (in and out fo work), but the only person that's going to be the best advocate for you, is YOU! (I wish I had understood this better in my 20s and 30s…and 40s!).   You can find Carla at https://carlamiller.co.uk/ and if you want to work on ‘how to say no' then why not sign up for her free 5 day “how to say No” challenge at carlamillertraining.com/sayno  And if you struggle with people-pleasing behaviours, you might also find this episode with Nat Lue helpful: https://middlingalong.com/episodes/middling-along-natalie-lue-helps-us-discover-the-joy-of-saying-no/   If you enjoy the podcast please help us grow by sharing this episode, or writing a short review online!  If your workplace wants to become more ‘menopause friendly' then please let them know about the work I do at http://www.managingthemenopause.com  Follow me over on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/middlingalong_podcast/ and https://www.instagram.com/managingthemenopause   Join our newsletter, The Messy Middle: https://dashboard.mailerlite.com/forms/323784/90772270045202190/share  We're delighted to be listed as one of the Top 25 podcasts for midlife and menopause here: https://www.lattelounge.co.uk/podcasts-about-the-menopause/

Jeannette is joined by the fabulous Jennifer Grace to discuss her inspiring journey from a vibrant childhood filled with dance to becoming Miami's number one life coach, motivational speaker, and author. Jennifer talks about her unique approach to coaching, emphasising the importance of helping others recognise their own potential while navigating challenges like imposter syndrome. She also reflects on her experiences working with celebrities and female entrepreneurs, highlighting the different dynamics they face. KEY TAKEAWAYS Mindset is about choosing how to view situations, whether from a limited or growth perspective. Neutralising events allows individuals to detach from emotional responses and choose a more empowering viewpoint. Imposter syndrome affects people across all demographics, regardless of success. Normalising it and helping individuals recognise their achievements can shift their perspective and reduce its impact. It's essential to celebrate milestones and successes, no matter how small. This practice helps individuals appreciate their journey and prevents them from constantly moving the goalposts without acknowledging their accomplishments. The launch of a hybrid publishing company addresses the challenges authors face in traditional publishing. This model offers a transparent, supportive alternative that allows authors to retain a larger share of their profits while receiving necessary guidance and resources. BEST MOMENTS "I think the first thing I always try to do is normalise imposter syndrome, making people feel like, okay, there's not something wrong with me because I'm feeling this way." "The beauty is we get to choose. Are you going to have a limited mindset or a growth mindset?" "I think part of retreat needs to celebrate and have fun. People take sometimes this work way too seriously." "I had a complete breakdown with my own child... I used all the tools that I had in my tool bag to meditate and journal and have a new vision for him and I."   This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

Whether it's about recognising the signs, fostering empathy, or knowing when to seek help, this episode is packed with practical advice you can put into action today.Key Takeaways:Understanding the difference between stress and anxiety: Stress is often tied to specific events and can dissipate once the issue resolves.

Do you ever feel like you're navigating your work solo, without a support system? In this episode, I'm diving into the world of group supervision and why it's a game-changer for therapists and mental health professionals. I'll share my experiences with supervision, the lessons learned, and why group supervision has been one of the most powerful tools for professional growth and connection.Group supervision isn't just about case reviews; it's about building networks, gaining different perspectives, and developing as a therapist. If you're a mental health practitioner, this episode is for you. And if you're feeling isolated in your work or unsure about group supervision, let me reassure you that it can offer so much more than you might expect.Key Takeaways:The power of group supervision: It offers a chance to connect with peers and get multiple perspectives on cases.Normalising struggles: Hearing from other practitioners can remind you that you're not alone in your challenges.Peer feedback and skill-building: Group settings provide safe spaces to improve on areas like public speaking or case presentation.Social networking and referrals: It's not just about supervision—it's about building relationships with colleagues for long-term support.Hive mind approach: With multiple perspectives, you get more than one way of thinking about a case, which can spark new insights.Building empathy and self-compassion: Group supervision fosters an environment where you can be kinder to yourself, something we often forget to do.Practical skill development: It's a great space to practice presenting cases or fine-tuning therapeutic techniques in a supportive setting.Resources:For more information on group supervision, visit The Therapy HubOther episodes in this seriesListen here Spotify | itunes | website Submit a question to the Podcasthttps://forms.gle/nvNQyw9gJXMNnveY6 Connect with Marie https://thetherapyhub.com.au/ https://marievakakis.com.au/ https://www.instagram.com/marievakakis/

"82% of people experience it."   Host Claire Pedrick is in conversation with and Carolyn Herfurth, delving into the complexities of imposter syndrome, exploring its prevalence, the different types, and the unique challenges it presents, especially for coaches.    They discuss the importance of normalising the experience, understanding the sources of imposter feelings, and providing practical frameworks for coaches to help their clients navigate these challenges.    Takeaways Up to 82% of people experience imposter syndrome at some point. Imposter syndrome is distinct from low self-esteem and self-doubt. There are five types of imposter syndrome: perfectionist, expert, soloist, natural genius, and superhuman. Normalising the experience of imposter syndrome can reduce feelings of shame. Understanding the sources of imposter syndrome is crucial for addressing it. Reframing negative thoughts can help individuals manage imposter feelings. It's important to acknowledge and celebrate personal successes. The narrative that imposter syndrome is a superpower is misleading and harmful.   Contact Carolyn Herfurth at https://impostorsyndrome.com/ If you like this episode, subscribe or follow The Coaching Inn on your podcast platform or our YouTube Channel to hear or see new episodes as they drop.    If you'd like to find out more about 3D Coaching, you can get all our new ideas and offers in our weekly email.    Coming Up:  Next:  Quarterlife Coaching - working with young adults with Chloe Garland Keywords Imposter Syndrome, Coaching, Self-Doubt, Confidence, Personal Development, Mental Health, Professional Growth, Coaching Techniques, Carolyn Herfurth, Claire Pedrick

This month we are delighted to be joined by Andrea Brock, who is a political ecologist at University of Sussex. Andrea works with forest defenders and environmental movements looking at the responses from state and corporate actors to ecological dissent. Andrea shares with us the trajectory of her research career which was influenced by being brought up in the German Rhineland in proximity to the world's largest open-cast lignite mine. She shares with us her insights into the actions of the mining company and the greenwashing acrobatics that are put in place to distract from the ecological destruction that is taking place as a result of these mining projects. She gives insight into the repression that had been levied against land defenders in the ancient Hambach Forest which has been under threat from mine operator RWE. In addition, the relationships between different types policing and ecocide are explored and how this influences the domination of non-human and human species.  Her research is based in the European context and examines how the logics of repression play out and ecological defenders are criminalized in Europe.  Want to learn more about Andrea Brock's work? https://profiles.sussex.ac.uk/p322495-andrea-brock  Resources mentioned during the episode: Brock, A., & Dunlap, A.

Rhys Dawney, host of the ‘Schism' podcast returns, as we take a reluctant dive into the rancid cesspit of contemporary “popular culture” - particularly what outrageously masquerades as “hip-hop” and “R&B.”We set the scene by zoning in on the allegations of sexual abuse and trafficking being levelled at both P Diddy and Drake, the former being accused of running a Jeffrey Epstein-style empire of orgiastic sex parties and high-level blackmail operations.Rhys then moves on to examining the deeply sick output and symbolism peddled by the likes of Doja Cat, Lil Nas X, Lil Uzi Vert, 6ix9ine, Kodak Black, Machine Gun Kelly, Sam Smith, Madonna and others.What this content amounts to is nothing short of satanism being made “acceptable” to the masses. As ever, our children and teenagers are the targets. The agendas will only get more and more morally depraved and repugnant until enough people start exercising care and take action to reject it and hold to account the diseased demons who put this garbage out.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/good-vibrations-podcast--2594848/support.

In today's episode, I am joined by Johannah Reimer to talk about holding circle for our girls and the female-bodied youth that are in our lives. Johannah is a soulcentric educator, ceremonialist, teen mentor, and an artist of many trades. Trained as a Waldorf teacher, Johannah has been working with children of all ages for over 20 years and holds a particular passion for tweens/teens striving to meet their developmental needs for mentorship and initiation in a culture that has forgotten how to do so. Johannah founded Wakeful Nature & Girls Group as a means to fill the initiatory void for girls crossing the threshold of childhood into adolescence with guidance, ceremony, and community.Johannah and I share our passion for the healing that can happen through circling and ceremony and in this conversation I get the change to get nosey about her incredible work facilitating girls groups, the impact this work has on her as a space holder and so much more. Above all, Johannah calls for the ‘village aunties' to step up, cultivating more awareness around what today's generation of girls is moving through and weaving together multi-generational embodied wisdom.Tune in to hear more from us on:Remembering how to be village aunties and engage in re-villaging workCreating a safe space for younger girlsThe challenges faced by girls in today's societyWorking with the elements and ancestral remembranceRitualizing the first bleed and normalizing menstrual cycle awareness through storytelling and archetypesModeling imperfection and the human experience as a facilitatorAllowing the girls to grow capacity within circleExperiencing grief as a facilitator whilst also carving the new path for ritual and ceremonyStepping into our role as matriarchal leaders and how we can move into a post-patriarchal societyResources + LinksFind Johannah's work on wakefulnature.com and Instagram @wakeful.natureFind out more about Johannah's Girls Group Facilitator trainingLearn how to craft a meaningful rite of passage for your daughter's menstrual cycle with JohannahBook: ‘The Anxious Generation' by Jonathan HaidtMy book, Root and Ritual: Timeless Ways to Connect to Land, Lineage, Community, and the SelfConnect with me on Instagram @beccapiastrelliTimestamps[0:00] Introduction [09:43] Remembering How to be Village Aunties [12:17] Challenges Faced by Girls in Today's Society [18:00] Creating Safe Spaces for Girls through Long-Term and Ongoing Support [26:48] Social Media Use by Teens and Navigating Belonging and Connection [34:32] Ritualising & Normalising the First Bleed through Ceremony + Ritual [40:22] Being a Girls Group Facilitator [43:47] Moving into a Post-Patriarchal Society
