Most of us know about the “fight, flight, freeze” responses to trauma. But there is another concept that has been steadily gaining awareness over the last several years, in large part due to pop psychology on social media: Fawning.You might have heard it described as akin to extreme people-pleasing, over-accommodating, over-functioning, and fundamentally a problem in the person doing the fawning. But as my guest today illuminates for us, it's not a personal failing, or even always a conscious choice. It is human nature to prioritize safety and connection, and fawning is a means of keeping ourselves safe. But when fawning runs the show, self-leadership diminishes and quietly drifts toward conflict-avoiding, blurred boundaries, and self-abandonment.Waking up to your fawning response takes courage. You will meet resistance from some as you shift the dynamics of your relationships. But it also unlocks deeper intimacy, more honest connection, and the joy that comes from trusting yourself and letting others meet the real you.This conversation invites you to consider where and with whom you fawn, and how you might want to respond in the future. Fawning has a real purpose when safety is on the line, but the more we are aware of it, the more we can be intentional about how we show up in our relationships.Ingrid Clayton is a licensed clinical psychologist with a master's degree in transpersonal psychology and a Ph.D. in clinical psychology. In her private practice in Los Angeles she supports individuals in healing trauma, reclaiming agency, and reconnecting to their authentic selves.She is a regular contributor to Psychology Today, and her work has been featured in Oprah Daily, The New York Times, Women's Health, Forbes, 10% Happier with Dan Harris, Girls Gotta Eat, and NPR's On Point with Meghna Chakrabarti. Ingrid's latest book, Fawning: Why the Need to Please Makes Us Lose Ourselves and How to Find Our Way Back, explores the often-overlooked fawn response to trauma.Listen to the full episode to hear:Why fawning shows up as an unconscious response to ongoing relational traumaHow understanding fawning helped Ingrid understand and heal from her own complex traumaHow our culture demands and reinforces fawning for women and marginalized peopleThe often very real bind of choosing safety over self and the feedback loop it createsAccessible practices to build a sense of internal safety and self-trustHow chronic fawning and self-abandonment contribute to burnoutLearn more about Ingrid Clayton, PhD:WebsiteInstagram: @ingridclaytonphdFacebook: @ingridclaytonphdYouTube: @ingridclaytonphdUnfawning on SubstackFawning: Why the Need to Please Makes Us Lose Ourselves–and How to Find Our Way BackBelieving Me: Healing from Narcissistic Abuse and Complex TraumaLearn more about Rebecca:rebeccaching.comWork With RebeccaThe Unburdened Leader on SubstackSign up for the weekly Unburdened Leader EmailResources:What Is the Fawning Trauma Response? | Psychology TodayPeter LevineThe Greatest Showman Cast - This Is MeThe Traitors

 In this episode with brand voice and messaging strategist Jen Liddy, we're diving into the layers of messaging that most people completely miss. This isn't about being louder or showing up more. It's about letting the parts of YOU that make you different actually show up in your content. You know your audience's pain points. You're using their words. You're talking about feelings and potential. But something's still missing. Your messaging feels flat and generic, like every other coach in your space. Here's what nobody tells you: The floor of messaging (knowing your audience) is essential. But the nuance, the voice, the personality, and the positioning are what actually make people choose YOU.Here's What We Cover:The 3 nuanced layers of messaging: That sit on top of the foundational "audience-first" work: voice, personality, and positioningThe exact questions to ask past clients and friends to uncover what actually sets you apart (and how to receive those answers without swatting them away)How to position yourself without sounding braggy: Seed your expertise through client stories, micro-stories from everyday life, and examples woven into your contentHow to know if you're boring (spoiler: you're not, and vanilla is a flavor)—the most interesting thing you can do is be genuinely interested in other peopleThe framework vs. personality distinction: Where you land in the client journey matters—are you the "audience-first" person or the "creator-first" person? That's positioning.…and the deeper work that turns good messaging into magnetic messaging.Resources:Jen's Custom GPT for Brand Positioning: https://www.jenliddy.com/SophiaConnect with Jen on LinkedIn: Search "Jen Liddy" (one 'n')Subconscious CEO Identity Quiz (by Mindi Huebner): https://pages.mindihuebner.com/take-the-ceo-reset-quiz

What separates solopreneurs who stay stuck from those who scale into something bigger?In this episode of The Aspiring Solopreneur, Carly Ries and Joe Rando sit down with attorney and business strategist Brandon Williams, whose experience working with major brands like Steve Harvey Global gives him a unique perspective on what it really takes to grow a business from a single idea into a lasting legacy.Brandon breaks down one of the biggest myths about solopreneurship: that doing it alone means building it alone. He explains why the most successful solopreneurs actively build networks, leverage contractors, and think years ahead, even when they're just starting out.Whether you're still in the idea phase or actively growing your business, this conversation will help you shift from thinking small to building intentionally.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy solopreneurs should think like CEOs, even on day oneHow to scale without hiring employees (using contractors and partnerships)The mindset shift that helps solopreneurs overcome imposter syndromeHow to break big, long-term goals into actionable daily prioritiesThe legal structures solopreneurs should set up early (like LLCs and contracts)Why sharing your idea accelerates growth instead of risking itHow to build confidence when entering rooms with more “established” peopleThe biggest partnership mistakes solopreneurs make (and how to avoid them)Why effort and momentum attract opportunities and supportKey Takeaways1. Flying solo doesn't mean building alone Solopreneurs who scale successfully surround themselves with contractors, mentors, and collaborators.2. Confidence comes from action, not experience The difference between those who succeed and those who don't is often the willingness to try.3. Structure makes your business real Creating an LLC, separating finances, and putting agreements in place protects your future growth.4. Focus on where you're going, not just where you are Thinking years ahead helps guide better decisions today.5. Effort attracts momentum Taking consistent action creates opportunities, connections, and growth.Episode FAQsHow can solopreneurs scale their business without hiring employees?Solopreneurs can scale by building a network of contractors, freelancers, and collaborators instead of hiring full-time employees. This allows them to expand their capabilities, take on more clients, and increase revenue while maintaining flexibility and low overhead. Many successful solopreneurs use contractors for marketing, operations, design, and technical work.What legal structure should a solopreneur set up when starting a business?Most solopreneurs should create an LLC (Limited Liability Company) early in their business. An LLC separates personal and business assets, protecting the owner from personal liability if legal issues arise. Solopreneurs should also open a separate business bank account and use written agreements with contractors and clients.How do solopreneurs build confidence when starting or growing a business?Solopreneurs build confidence through action, not experience alone. Taking small steps, such as networking, talking about their business, working with clients, and executing consistently, helps build belief over time. Even experienced business leaders are constantly learning, and confidence grows by doing, not waiting until everything feels perfect.

On The Brian Crombie Radio Hour, Brian sits down with Susan Pinker, psychologist and bestselling author of The Village Effect, to discuss the science of human connection and why face-to-face interaction is critical for health, resilience, and longevity. In this evidence-based conversation, they explore:Why digital connection can't replace real-life interactionHow the pandemic intensified loneliness, especially among young peopleThe hidden health costs of social isolationLessons from long-living, tightly connected communitiesWhy fostering meaningful, in-person relationships is more urgent than everA practical, insightful discussion on belonging, connection, and the power of human presence.

You objectify people every day.So do we.Tall. Short. Strong. Fragile.Well-dressed. Exhausted. Confident. Dangerous.In less than a second, your brain can turn a stranger into an object. That doesn't make you cruel—it makes you human. The real question is whether we stay there.On this episode of The Collective, we're joined by Chris Lee, former Green Beret turned coach, and John Vargas, firefighter and paramedic. Together, we dive into the unavoidable tension between objectification, perception, and personhood.We explore how humans start as objects in our cognition—but with familiarity, exposure, and conversation, they become subjects deserving of dignity and respect. Leadership, ethics, and character are revealed in whether we move past first impressions and see a human being.This is not abstract philosophy. It's grounded in military and emergency response experiences, where split-second assessments can save lives—or strip dignity. From strangers on the street to teammates in high-risk environments, this conversation challenges how we perceive, interact, and lead.

“There is nothing wrong with you or any of us. We are absolutely beautiful, whole beings, just as we are, and we do not need to prove anything to anybody. You are everything already inside.

Most mortgage leaders won't struggle in 2026 because of interest rates, regulation, or technology.They'll struggle because they fail to evolve how they lead people.In the Season 7 premiere of Laugh, Lend & Eat, the conversation challenges conventional thinking around leadership, retention, and AI in the mortgage industry. Instead of chasing trends or blaming the market, this episode focuses on the behaviors, decisions, and blind spots that will separate leaders who thrive from those who fall behind.What You'll Hear in This EpisodeWhy traditional management approaches are breaking downThe hidden cost of ignoring retentionHow leadership behavior impacts stability and growthWhy coaching and mentorship matter more than controlThe real role of AI in exposing value—not replacing peopleThe mindset shift required to lead confidently into 2026Key Leadership InsightsAs markets tighten, leadership gaps become obvious. The episode draws a clear line between managers who react and leaders who build systems that work. It explores why organizations focused only on recruiting often struggle with turnover, burnout, and inconsistency—and why long-term growth requires clarity, accountability, and trust.AI Isn't the Threat—Weak Leadership IsAI is framed as a tool for leverage, training, and clarity. Used well, it amplifies strong leadership. Used poorly, it exposes the absence of direction, culture, and authentic value.Notable Quotes from the Episode“Managers blame people. Leaders fix processes.” — Fobby Naghmi“Retention is harder than recruiting—but it's where real growth happens.” — Justin Neal“AI doesn't replace people; it exposes who actually brings value.” — Ginger Bell“Fear is irrelevant and unhelpful.” — Eleni TheodorakisWhy This Episode Matters2026 will reward leaders who build people, not just pipelines.Those who fail to adapt will feel it first—in retention, trust, and performance.This episode sets the tone for Season 7 with honest leadership conversations rooted in experience, accountability, and long-term thinking.Follow Laugh, Lend & Eat on Spotify for more conversations on leadership, mortgage lending, and what it really takes to grow in changing markets.

Author and musician Michael Perry and writer and professor Aaron Gwynn connect over farm life, physical labor, creative discipline, and the unlikely paths that led them to writing books.

In this episode of the HR Leaders Podcast, we sit down with Kristen A. Pressner, Global Head of People & Culture at Roche Diagnostics UK & Ireland, to unpack why neurodiversity may be the single biggest untapped advantage in the post-AI workplace.Kristen explains why most organisations are sitting on “free upside”, talented people already inside the business who are not thriving because work was designed for one type of brain. She shares why only ~25% of employees feel psychologically safe, and why the line manager is the biggest determinant of whether neurodivergent employees thrive or merely survive.Most importantly, she reframes neurodiversity away from labels and diagnoses, and toward practical, human questions, how do you work best, what gives you energy, and what conditions help you shine, and why asking those questions changes performance, engagement, and learning at scale.

In this episode, Lisa and Jackie discuss:How personal storytelling shapes identity and confidence in young peopleThe role of a signature talk in strengthening communication and self-awarenessUsing life experiences to build clarity and purposeThe way real-life opportunities and service experiences help youth grow passions and purposeKey Takeaways: Young people learn their core values and purpose by identifying the message they would share if given five minutes to speak to the world, strengthening their sense of worth and supporting mental health.A “signature talk” begins with exploring personal successes and failures, turning those experiences into a library of stories that can be used in interviews, essays, and meaningful conversations.Preparing a signature message teaches youth to identify a problem they deeply relate to, explain how they solved it, and offer insights that could help others—building confidence, leadership, and independence.Colleges increasingly value authentic, self-aware applicants who demonstrate impact and growth, and storytelling practice helps teens articulate purpose and meaningful experiences more effectively. “When they begin to understand what life's lessons have taught them and how it's shaped them to who and why they are, everything changes for them.” – Jackie BaileyAbout Jackie Bailey: Jackie Bailey, The International Conversation Coach, helps clients speak with significance, triumph over trauma, and champion challenges.

"You're in it together, then you're on a pedestal, then you're a statue."In this Post Bag episode, James and Freddie Birley tackle one of the most honest questions we've received: Why does success often feel more isolating than the early startup days?From sitting in rubbish pubs with your first team believing in the vision, to suddenly being on a pedestal where everyone expects you to have all the answers, to becoming a "company relic" that new hires have never even met - the journey of scaling can be lonely.But here's what makes this conversation different: we don't just acknowledge the loneliness; they show you why it's normal, why it sometimes serves you, and most importantly, how to fill that deficit in your life.Together we unpack:Why early-stage camaraderie is so powerful (and why it can't last forever)The three stages of founder isolation: in it together → on a pedestal → becoming a statueWhy your team can't be your friends at a certain scale (and that's okay)How projections and expectations create distance even when you're surrounded by peopleThe trap of trying to "get back" to your old life vs creating a new oneWhy vulnerability is required to build new connections (even when it's uncomfortable)Practical strategies for re-cultivating connection outside your business

Thanks to our Partner, NAPA Autotech Training and Pico TechnologyWatch Full Video EpisodeIn this episode of Diagnosing the Aftermarket A to Z, Matt Fanslow uses a famous Michael Jordan quote, a heartbreaking Minnesota Vikings loss, and a rant from Jeff Compton of The Jaded Mechanic Podcast to dig into a big question:When did we get so impatient with young people—and what is it costing our industry?Matt reflects on how we treat new, entry-level mechanical and technical specialists in our shops, how “common sense” isn't actually common, and why our own backgrounds make it easy to forget what it's like to start from zero. He draws parallels between sports, restaurants, and auto repair, and makes the case that if we want to “grow our own,” we must build patience and structure into our businesses.Along the way, he talks about failure as a prerequisite for greatness—using Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Muhammad Ali, and even win–loss records and batting averages to remind us that the “greats” failed a lot before anyone called them great.Highlights & Topics CoveredMichael Jordan's failure quote and what it really says about successA recent Vikings–Bears game:JJ McCarthy's rough day, clutch fourth-quarter drive, andHow special teams and defense actually lost the gameThe internet meltdown: instant calls to replace a young quarterback who's essentially still a rookieA short video rant from Jeff Compton (The Jaded Mechanic Podcast) about having patience with young peopleThe core question: When did we get so impatient—and were we always this way?Generational shifts in handling criticism, shame, and feedbackWhy “common sense” isn't common:How background, upbringing, and exposure shape what feels obviousGrowing up around farms, equipment, and shops vs. growing up with screensHomemakers, latchkey kids, and how changing family structures change what kids bring into the workplaceThe reality of today's entry-level hire:No mechanical backgroundDoesn't know a hex from a Torx… yetThe shop's responsibility if you want to “grow your own”:Structuring the business to shoulder an apprentice who isn't producing much at firstDefining basic expectations (showing up, being on time, not repeating the same mistake endlessly)Skill decay and repetition:Lab scopes, training classes, and how fast proficiency fades without regular useHow we criticize: sharp scalpel vs. rusty spoon; cutting people apart vs. building them upRemembering that apprentices didn't choose their childhood or start point—but are choosing this careerThe sports angle on failure and greatness:Michael Jordan getting cut from his high school teamPat Riley's quote about last shot vs. “save my life” shot (MJ vs. Larry Bird)Muhammad Ali's losses, UFC careers, and the obsession with “perfect records”Baseball batting averages: greatness at 30% successA teaser for a future episode: how this profession can play a role in the “war on young men”Key TakeawaysFailure is part of greatness. The people we call “the greatest” in sports failed repeatedly. Expecting perfection from a first-year tech is delusional.Common sense is built, not born. What feels obvious to you probably came from years of exposure, mistakes, and stories you grew up around. Your apprentice didn't get that same download.If you want to grow your own, structure for it.

This week's episode is a re-run — but one that feels more relevant than ever. Recent comments from Donald Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. have falsely suggested a link between paracetamol and autism, adding to the long history of misinformation that fuels stigma and fear.To push back against these harmful narratives, we're revisiting this conversation with Dr. Luke Beardon, Senior Lecturer in Autism at Sheffield Hallam University and author of multiple influential works on autism.In this episode, we explore:Why language matters when talking about autismThe dangers of misinformation — even from professionalsHow “us vs them” thinking harms autistic peopleThe identity challenges faced by those diagnosed later in lifeWhy autistic voices must be central in shaping the narrativeThis is a powerful reminder that autism is not something to be blamed on medicines, parenting, or fearmongering politics — it's a natural and valuable part of human diversity.Our Sponsors:

He is also a musician, movement practitioner, and artist.Together, James and Marissa recently published research exploring the link between eating disorders, late autism diagnosis, and social connectedness.This week, we discuss:How late autism diagnosis can reframe the story of an eating disorderWhy one-size-fits-all eating disorder treatment often fails autistic peopleThe role of masking, misdiagnosis, and co-occurring conditions in ED developmentWhy individualised, neurodiversity-affirming care is essential for recoveryHow social connection looks different for autistic people (small circles, pets, nature)The importance of creating safe, validating treatment spaces where people can “re-story” identityWhy embracing difference can unlock more flexible, compassionate recovery support for everyoneTimestamps:06:30 – Late diagnosis, masking, and misdiagnosis 13:30 – Inpatient treatment, relapse, and the need for adaptation 18:30 – Making sense of autism post diagnosis 25:00 – Untangling autistic traits and eating disorder behaviours 31:00 – Social connection, pets, and neurodivergent-friendly community in recovery 38:00 – What flexible, individualised treatment can look like 45:00 – Identity, acceptance, and embracing neurodivergence in recovery Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussion of anorexia, bulimia, relapse, inpatient treatment, and diagnostic experiences.Read James and Marissa's recent paper [here].Connect with Us:Subscribe to the Full of Beans Podcast hereFollow Full of Beans on Instagram hereRead our latest blog hereThank you for listening and being part of this important conversation!If you loved this episode, don't forget to subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who might benefit!Sending positive beans your way, Han

In this episode of Keeping Abreast, Dr. Jenn Simmons welcomes Dr. Ashley Lucas, a former professional ballerina turned PhD nutritionist and founder of PhD Weight Loss. Dr. Lucas shares her remarkable journey from struggling with under-eating and injury in the ballet world to helping over 11,000 people lose nearly 500,000 pounds by addressing the real root of weight issues: metabolic health.Together, Dr. Jenn and Dr. Ashley expose the myths of “eat less, move more,” unpack the dangers of visceral fat, and explain why true, lasting weight loss is more about hormones and mindset than willpower. They also dive into hot topics like GLP-1 weight loss drugs, protein and macro balance, over-exercise, sleep, and the misunderstood role of fat in our diets.Whether you've battled weight loss plateaus, wondered why BMI is misleading, or want to protect your long-term metabolic health, this conversation offers a science-backed roadmap for sustainable change.In This Episode, You Will Learn:How Dr. Ashley's ballet career and health collapse led her to study metabolismWhy “eat less, move more” fails most peopleThe unique dangers of visceral (belly) fat and how it drives diseaseWhy GLP-1 drugs may create more problems than they solveHow protein, fat, and carb balance impacts weight loss and metabolic healthWhy BMI is outdated—and better tools for measuring healthThe role of sleep, stress, and mindset in weight managementWhy over-exercising can sabotage fat lossPractical steps to reset metabolism and protect muscle mass

What if the very thing holding your business back isn't strategy or followers—but the fear of being seen? In this episode of the Gloria Chou PR Podcast, I sit down with Stacey Brass-Russell—Broadway performer turned transformational business coach and host of Passionate & Prosperous. With a career spanning show business, yoga, and entrepreneurship, Stacey has mastered the art of showing up unapologetically and teaching others how to do the same.We dig into what it really takes to sell without feeling salesy, why confidence is a muscle you can build, and how to stop worrying about what everyone else thinks. If you've ever hesitated to press “send” on that pitch, this conversation is your permission slip to shine.How Do You Sell Without Feeling “Salesy”?Stacey breaks down the difference between bro-marketer tactics and authentic selling. Instead of cold DMs and pushy tactics, she shares how to build real relationships and show up in service of your audience—so selling feels natural, not cringe.What If You're Afraid of Rejection?Rejection isn't just part of the game—it's proof you're actually playing. Stacey explains why she encourages her clients to collect rejections as a measure of progress and why your job isn't to convince everyone, but to find the right ones.The One Habit That Builds Confidence in BusinessConfidence doesn't just show up. Stacey reveals the daily mindset practices—affirmations, reframing, and radical permission—that fuel resilience and visibility.Personal Outreach: The Most Overlooked Sales StrategyForget obsessing over Instagram. Stacey makes the case for direct, human connection as the #1 activity that moves the needle in your business.Why Nobody's Thinking About You (and That's a Good Thing)One of Stacey's most freeing insights: people aren't scrutinizing your every move. In fact, most of the time, they're not thinking about you at all. That's why volume and consistency in outreach, pitching, and posting matter more than perfection.✅ Final Takeaway: You don't need to master every marketing hack or wait for the perfect pitch.
