Podcasts about personal stories

I sat down with a dear friend & work colleague of mine who told me the story of how her brother went down the Trump rabbit hole, how it impacted her relationship with him so much that when he suddenly died of a heart attack a few weeks ago, she and her mother were not allowed to even attend his funeral. A story we all, to varying degrees, can relate to in this Trump era. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Send Us a Message (include your contact info if you'd like a reply)The loudest stories are getting the clicks, but are they serving clients? In this episode, we dig into a growing trend in divorce coaching—marketing that centers personal divorce and betrayal narratives—and examine how story-first positioning blurs boundaries, preloads expectations, and weakens trust with clients and referral partners. Lived experience can spark a calling, yet without training, supervision, and clear standards of practice, narrative becomes a substitute for competence instead of context for care.We share a colleague's candid market signal about boundary issues on social platforms and unpack why it matters for a profession that's maturing under increased scrutiny. From the collapse of experience and expertise to the downstream effects on decision quality, we map the operational risks when coaches promise resonance over results. We also take a hard look at narrative-led training programs that elevate a founder's story into “methodology,” and we explain how that shift erodes self-regulation, turns certification into symbolism, and confuses consumers who cannot see the difference between ADR-aligned coaching and scaled storytelling.Then we offer a path forward. We outline how to right-size personal stories—context, not credential—and restore professional sequencing: my experience led me here, and my training allows me to help you. We argue for parity with family law professions where credibility rests on ethics, restraint, and competency, not disclosure. Expect practical framing you can use today, including a simple audit question for your website and messaging: if your personal story vanished, would your professional value still be clear? The future of divorce coaching depends on discipline over drama and structure over spectacle; clarity compounds trust.If this conversation resonates, subscribe, share with a colleague, and leave a review. Your feedback helps push the profession toward higher standards and better outcomes for clients navigating divorce.

Tyrer- Cuzick Risk Assessment Calculator: HERE Ontario Breast Screening Program at 1-800-668-9304   Takeaways Beverly emphasizes the importance of sharing her story to empower other women. Advocacy for one's health is crucial, especially in navigating medical systems. Understanding breast density is vital for assessing risk factors for breast cancer. Women should not hesitate to self-refer for mammograms when necessary. Emotional processing of a cancer diagnosis can include anger and acceptance. Community support plays a significant role in coping with health challenges. Open conversations with loved ones about health issues can alleviate fears. Women often feel the need to buffer others' emotions during their own health crises. Self-advocacy in healthcare is essential for receiving appropriate care.

In this episode of The Body Grievers® Club, Bri discusses the challenges of self-advocacy within the context of body image and core beliefs. She recounts a personal experience at the Sacramento Airport where she found herself struggling to ask for a wheelchair accommodation due to an injury. Bri explores the layers of body image distress, internalized ableism, and the difficulty of allowing oneself to ask for help. Through examining core beliefs and emotional triggers, she identifies a deep-seated fear of being perceived as a fraud by her clients and herself. The episode highlights the importance of understanding and reframing core beliefs, the role of emotional work in body image healing, and the necessity of compassion and patience in the journey toward self-acceptance. Bri offers practical advice on navigating distressful body image moments and emphasizes the value of vulnerability in the healing process.   00:53 Core Beliefs and Body Image 01:13 A Personal Story from Sacramento Airport 03:33 The Struggle with Asking for Help 03:45 Injury and Vulnerability 05:32 Unpacking Body Image Distress 11:58 Core Beliefs Worksheet: A Practical Guide 16:37 The Emotional Weight of Self-Advocacy 24:50 Reframing Core Beliefs 28:08 Conclusion: Embracing Vulnerability   WANT MORE OF BRI? *Instagram: @bodyimagewithbri

What do you do when you try to do everything right and it still falls apart? In this mini episode of The Confident Body Podcast, I share a very real, very human setback I experienced this week when my ebook was unexpectedly blocked on Amazon. Instead of pivoting immediately, I sat on the floor of my closet and cried. And that moment became a powerful reminder of how setbacks actually work in the brain and nervous system. This episode is about walking your talk when things go sideways. You'll learn why your first emotional reaction is not a failure, how shame and perfectionism show up after disappointment, and how to harness setbacks so they strengthen you instead of stopping you. I also connect this experience directly to weight loss, because the same nervous system responses that show up during life setbacks show up after overeating, scale fluctuations, or missed workouts. If you've ever felt discouraged, shut down, or tempted to quit after a setback, this episode will help you understand what's happening inside your body and how to move through it with confidence and self-trust. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why setbacks trigger intense emotions like shame, anger, and confusion What's actually happening in your nervous system when you feel shut down Why “wallowing” is not weakness, and how emotional processing shortens recovery time How asking better questions helps your brain move from panic to problem-solving How the same mental setbacks show up in weight loss and overeating How to turn failure into feedback instead of proof that something is wrong with you Why returning to supportive tools is maintenance, not backsliding Who This Episode Is For This episode is for you if: You feel like you keep “failing” at weight loss or habits You spiral emotionally after setbacks You struggle with perfectionism or good-girl conditioning You want sustainable weight loss without shame You're tired of starting over and want confidence that lasts Key Takeaway Setbacks are not a problem. They're a SIGNAL. They are moments your nervous system needs safety, not discipline. When you learn how to regulate first and reframe second, you stop turning temporary struggles into permanent stories about yourself. The way you think about setbacks is the difference between someone who loses weight and keeps it off vs someone who stays stuck.   Get the book my new book LIGHT: The New Psychology of Weight Loss CLICK HERE to get it in ebook format.

From Fear to Friendship: The 30-Year Journey of an Interracial Women's Circle What does it really take for women across race, identity, and experience to move from awkward conversations to real friendship? In this episode, I talk with two people I deeply respect—Julie O'Mara and Dr. Sid Reel—about a women's circle I'm part of  that's been meeting for nearly 30 years. What started as a conference breakout session turned into something far more rare: a space where white women and women of color stayed in relationship through grief, anger, mistakes, growth, and joy. We talk about confidentiality and why it matters. About staying at the table when things get uncomfortable. About what happens when people don't feel alone anymore. And about the difference between talking about race and actually knowing people whose lives are shaped by it. This isn't theory. It's lived experience. And it's a reminder that real connection doesn't come from slogans or training slides—it comes from time, trust, and being willing to keep showing up. We share raw, transformative experiences that took us from initial fear and distrust to deep, meaningful friendships. The episode explores the group's origins, the critical role of confidentiality, and the hard truths they've confronted about race, privilege, and solidarity. You'll learn the challenges and rewards of having tough conversations about race and how these led to profound support and solidarity during life's toughest moments.   Timestamps & Key Segments: 00:00 Introduction and Podcast Overview 01:10 Meet the Guests: Julie O'Mara and Dr. Sid Real 04:45 The Women's Circle: Origins and Purpose 12:38 Confidentiality and Trust Building 20:02 Personal Stories and Experiences 27:54 Challenges and Learnings in DEI 35:50 Standing Up and Women's Circle Support 36:57 Building Comfort and Social Connections 38:26 Shared Experiences and Mutual Support 41:33 Assumptions and Learning Moments 54:00 Starting and Sustaining a Circle 01:01:12 Final Thoughts and Contact Information Guest Bio:Julie O'Mara is coauthor of the free Global Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Benchmarks (GDEIB): Standards for Organizations Around the world along with Alan Richter, PhD, and Nene Molefi.

Ever thought it might be possible to stay in Paris for 20 nights without paying rent? In this episode, Annie Sargent chats with Liz Van Montfort, a traveler who's cracked the code on home exchange—the savvy way to explore France (or anywhere!) without breaking the bank. Liz shares how she spent three weeks in a Parisian apartment during the Rugby World Cup using Guest Points, plus a night in a 17th-century Dijon hotel, all while avoiding Airbnb's pitfalls. Listen to this episode ad-free Liz breaks down the two types of home exchanges: reciprocal swaps (you stay in their home, they stay in yours) and Guest Points, a flexible system where you earn points by hosting others and spend them on stays worldwide. No fancy house required—Liz's Christchurch townhouse (complete with a communal pool!) has attracted exchanges from Sydney to Provence. She reveals how to prep your home, from welcome booklets to leaving local treats, and why guests often leave the place cleaner than they found it. But why ditch Airbnb? Liz's Barcelona nightmare—stranded with luggage after a last-minute cancellation—will make you think twice. Home exchange offers verified members, insurance, and backup plans if things go wrong. Annie adds that it's perfect for slow travelers, families, and anyone tired of tourist traps. You'll live like a local, with kitchens, laundries, and neighborhood cafés at your fingertips. After the chat, Annie dives into Paris 2026 updates: the Tour Triangle skyscraper, Louis Vuitton's Champs-Élysées hotel, and the Place de la Concorde's pedestrian makeover. Whether you're planning a trip or just love armchair travel, this episode is packed with insider tips, cultural gems, and budget-friendly hacks.
