With a significant online following, Anna has dedicated over three decades to helping those affected by childhood trauma, enabling them to lead happier, more fulfilling lives. Her forthcoming book, "Connectability: Heal the Hidden Ways You Isolate, Find Your People, and Feel, at Last, Like You Belong," focuses on overcoming feelings of disconnection—a common issue both among trauma survivors and those with normal childhoods. Anna highlights that many individuals crave connection and understanding but often feel isolated, leading to loneliness and strained relationships.During the discussion, Anna shares her personal background of growing up in a commune with a mother plagued by addiction, which subjected her and her family to violence, poverty, and neglect. Despite these challenges, she managed to remain a high-functioning student throughout her childhood and early adulthood. However, a series of traumatic events in her 30s, including the death of her mother, a serious heartbreak, and a violent attack, left her with profound psychological effects, specifically post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). At that time, the concept of PTSD was not well understood outside military contexts, leaving Anna feeling isolated and struggling with her mental health amidst overwhelming shame and fear.In her conversation with Gina Ryan, Anna explains the significant misdiagnosis of childhood trauma symptoms, revealing her struggle with emotional dysregulation and her eventual journey to recovery. After initially finding therapy unhelpful, Anna serendipitously discovered effective techniques for managing her anxiety and depression through support from a friend who had also endured severe life struggles. These techniques, which included writing down her anxious and angry thoughts and feelings—effectively releasing them—and practicing meditation, became transformative tools for her.#CPTSD, #ComplexPTSD, #ChildhoodTrauma, #TraumaHealing, #Dysregulation, #NeurologicalDysregulation, #EmotionalRegulation, #Connectability, #Disconnection, #Isolation, #AnnaRunkle, #CrappyChildhoodFairy, #AnxietyCoachesPodcast, #DailyPractice, #Reregulated, #ReRegulation, #TraumaRecovery, #HealingTechniques, #SelfHelp, #LifeSkills, #SocialSkills, #Meditation, #AnxietyRelief, #MentalHealth, #SelfCare, #PersonalGrowth, #HealingJourney, #InnerPeace, #Belonging, #GinaRyan, #ACPSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode, you'll discover:Why your body rebels when you're living someone else's scriptThe third option between toxic masculinity and invisible masculinityHow real masculine power actually improves intimate relationshipsWhat if the price of being the "good guy" is losing yourself completely?I'm so tired of hearing women complain about where all the good men are. You know what I think? They're out there. They're just so busy trying not to be toxic that they've made themselves invisible. We've swung from one extreme to another. Now instead of dealing with assholes, we're dating ghosts.You've got two terrible options in the dating world. Door number one: the obvious red flags who think emotions are for weaklings and leadership means being the loudest jackass in the room. Door number two: guys who are so terrified of taking up space that there's nothing actually there. Sure, they're nice. Sure, they're safe. But they're also the type to suggest going Dutch on the first date because making any kind of move feels too risky.Men are killing themselves at three times the rate of women, but they won't ask for help. And honestly? I get it. The message they're getting is confusing as hell. Be vulnerable but not weak. Be strong but not aggressive. Lead but don't be controlling. No wonder they're paralyzed.The thing is, we're all paying for this mess. When the men in our lives are walking around dead inside, our relationships suffer. Our kids learn that strength means shutting down. Everyone loses when half the population is too scared to show up authentically.Carl Jung wrote about the wounded healer. The person whose deepest pain becomes their greatest gift. A lot of men have learned to be incredibly sensitive to everyone else's feelings because they've completely numbed their own. They'll bend over backwards to make you happy while slowly suffocating inside.Today our guest is Isaac Wathen, a men's coach who helps guys move from people-pleasing to actual leadership. After his own health crisis forced him to face how disconnected he'd become, Isaac figured out how to reclaim masculine power without becoming a total dick about it.Links from the episode:Show Notes: mindlove.com/422Join the Mind Love CollectiveSign up for The Morning Mind Love for short daily notes to wake up inspiredSupport Mind Love SponsorsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Karina Anderson's story–from a violent upbringing in Denmark to finding her true purpose in South Africa–is a testament to resilience, spiritual enlightenment, and the power of trusting one's journey. “More and more I realized that if I can do this, maybe more can do this. And I started writing down the first pieces of my story, which is about how you navigate challenge and how you turn. “That's why I say I am an alchemist. I'm an alchemist in my own journey, turning lead to gold, regardless of how tough it looks. This is the moment you want that challenge. This is where heroes and heroines are born. “Everything I've achieved on this journey has been because I've listened. I have shown up. I've been called to go. And, I've learned to trust the process. I know this because I do it every day and I've done it since I arrived here in South Africa.” Intuitive Depth Coach, Alchemist and Change Specialist, Karina Anderson goes to places where most do not dare venture. Together with her Team of Change Agents, she helps switch on lights in some of the darkest corners of the human experience. Her work has taken her from prisons to boardrooms. As the Founder of SmilingOne and Circles of Change Academy, she has spent 17+ years honing a unique change recipe in the homeland of her heart–South Africa, and turning personal adversity into impactful change.

Summary In this episode, Andy welcomes Coach Tony Weaver, author of Project Manage Your Life: Your Blueprint for Achieving Any Goal — One Step at a Time. After decades of leading complex IT, marketing, and transformation projects, Tony turned his project management skills inward and used them to lose over 100 pounds. That journey sparked a new mission: helping others apply the same proven methods to their own goals, whether it's health, finances, career, or just finally following through on something important. In this conversation, you'll hear how to turn vague intentions into measurable, motivating goals. Tony shares how to break down big ambitions into doable milestones, track your progress without becoming a slave to the data, and stay consistent with joy instead of burnout. He unpacks what SMART goals actually look like in the real world and explains why the project mindset can transform not just what you achieve, but how you feel while doing it. If you're looking for practical ideas to move forward on goals that matter to you, at work or at home, this episode is for you! Sound Bites “Project management absolutely changed my life.” “Life is agile.” “Every goal is a project. Project management is just applying structure to that goal.” “Your brain doesn't care about your happiness. It cares about keeping you safe. That's why it resists change.” “Once you build confidence in yourself, the goal you set becomes just a jumping-off point.” “Setting a goal is an act of hope. It says that tomorrow can be better than today.” “Track what you can control. Influence is important, but control drives change.” “Focus on the things you control. Keep an eye on the results, but don't obsess about them.” “The safest place to be is in your comfort zone, not trying.” “Some numbers matter. Some are interesting. Some aren't even interesting.” “Letting a goal die of loneliness? That's a recipe for regret.” Chapters 00:00 Introduction 01:36 Start of Interview 02:00 How Project Management Led to a New Mission 06:14 Mentorship, Coaching, and Project Management in Life 07:40 What Project Management Looks Like in Everyday Terms 11:20 Why Good Intentions Don't Lead to Change 13:10 Why Most People Don't Set Goals 15:24 Setting a Goal as an Act of Hope 18:00 Common Goal-Setting Mistakes and How to Fix Them 21:30 Building a Plan that Actually Works for You 23:50 Why You Should Plan Celebration, Not Just Completion 24:38 How to Track Progress Without Obsessing Over Data 29:20 The Danger of Focusing Too Much on Lagging Indicators 30:45 Two Client Success Stories 34:34 Where to Learn More About Coach Tony 35:28 End of Interview 36:03 Andy Comments After the Interview 39:05 Outtakes Learn More You can learn more about Tony and his work at OperationMelt.com.

Have you ever held onto a hurt that felt completely justified—the moments someone let you down, dismissed your feelings, or didn't meet your expectations? I know that weight all too well. For years, I carried what felt like justified anger. It felt protective, but in reality it kept me stuck in resentment, bitterness, and disconnected from the peace and freedom I longed for.This episode is about more than just relationships—it's about personal transformation. Holding onto anger and old hurts doesn't just affect others; it quietly shapes your peace, your self-awareness, and your emotional freedom. I share how my own journey of self-healing revealed the deeper wounds behind resentment, why letting go is so powerful, and how choosing empowerment over blame opens the door to greater connection—with yourself and the people in your life.If you've ever felt weighed down by anger, resentment, or old wounds, you're not alone. There is a path to emotional freedom, wholeness, and conscious connection—and it all begins with the choice to let go.–If you're ready to go deeper into releasing old hurts, letting go of justified anger, and creating more freedom and peace in your life, join me for my upcoming 3-day Resentment Reset Workshop. We'll explore how resentment shows up, how it affects your body and relationships, and practical ways to release it so you can experience emotional freedom.Save your seat here: https://deanna-herrin.mykajabi.com/resentmentresetlive –Connect with Deanna:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/deannaherrin/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deanna-herrin/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedeannaherrinWebsite: http://www.deannaherrin.net

Learning and growing as an individual to in turn help your community.   Quotes “You can come back, just the reminder that yes you absolutely should go experience something beyond your small town.” “You just need to find the new opportunities and things that are missing.”   Dear Listeners it is now your turn, Sarah and I spoke for nearly an hour about what it's like to explore our identities through our youth and maybe come back home, and find out what life is like and how our identities can be shaped by our environments and by the things that we think are important. We talked about what it's like to travel and tell people our story so that they uncover their own stories and that they can understand truly what the rest of the world could look like. It was full of inspiration and ideas and now I want to know, what will you do with this? What was one thing that stood out in this conversation? I'd love to hear from you.    And, as always, thank you for listening.    About Sarah Degn Sarah is a fourth generation farmer near Sidney, MT.

As well as The Montana Farmers Union, and The National Farmers Union!   About Sarah Elkins "Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and actively demonstrate their character, values, and vision." In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home. The audiobook, Your Stories Don't Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available! Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana. Be sure to check out the Storytelling For Professionals Course as well to make sure you nail that next interview!

In this compelling episode of the Secret Life Podcast, host Brianne Davis-Gantt confronts the often misunderstood concept of enabling in the context of addiction. With her characteristic honesty and humor, Brianne sheds light on how enabling behaviors can mask deeper emotional discomfort and perpetuate the cycle of addiction. She shares her insights from years of personal experience in recovery and her work with others, emphasizing that enabling is not an act of love but a misguided attempt to exert control over a loved one's addiction.Throughout the episode, Brianne outlines the signs of enabling, including making excuses for a loved one's behavior, prioritizing their needs over your own, and feeling anxious when unable to help. She passionately argues that true support for an addict requires setting boundaries and allowing them to face the consequences of their actions. Listeners will learn practical steps to break the cycle of enabling, such as empowering loved ones to take responsibility for themselves, reframing financial support, and prioritizing personal well-being.This episode serves as a crucial reminder that recovery is a personal journey and that sometimes the most loving thing we can do is to step back and allow our loved ones to confront their challenges head-on. Join Brianne as she navigates the complexities of enabling and offers hope for healthier relationships and personal growth.

(Episode #297) What if the urgency you feel to figure it all out is not intuition, but ego disguised as pressure? In this client session, we explore what it means to release the timeline your mind insists on and surrender to the pace your soul actually needs.

Listen in as I share intuitive guidance on learning to trust divine timing, to make peace with the unknown, and to stop treating becoming as a race.

In this episode of Do The Work | Mindset Mastery As we head into the final quarter of 2025, I can't help but reflect on how quickly this year has passed. For some it has been a year of breakthroughs, for others a season of struggle, and for many it has been the same repeated cycle with no real progress. I know that space well because I spent years stuck there, constantly comparing myself to others, replaying the same broken record of frustration and disappointment. What I learned is that when you remain in that weakened state and do nothing, it always makes things worse. There is no positive outcome that comes from inaction. It took me years of turmoil, fights at home, depression, and setbacks before I finally said enough was enough. I had to let go of arrogance, become a student, and follow a proven model with absolute discipline. That model taught me to take care of my body, grow my mind, and improve my business every single day. Eleven years later, that same discipline has carried me through highs and lows, created stability, and given me the responsibility to teach others to do the same. Last week, I interviewed one of our top producers, Felipe. His story hit hard. His mother in law is battling a terminal illness, and his family is carrying that weight every single day. Yet he continues to show up, smiling, working, and leading his family. He's able to remain strong because he follows the same model he built in times of peace. He makes his power deposits, his purpose deposits, and his profit deposits, even in the middle of heartbreak. That discipline allows him to stay strong when most would break. And that is the lesson. Discipline is what steadies you when the storms of life hit. Without it, you ride an emotional roller coaster that everyone around you feels your family, your clients, even strangers on Instagram. But with discipline, you create stability. You show up the same way whether life is good or life is breaking apart. You keep moving forward regardless of fear, anger, or doubt. I've lived this through every season of my business and my life: from financial ruin, to injuries, to losing agents, to being told the company wouldn't survive. And each time, I kept showing up, making my deposits, holding to the model. You wouldn't know my fear or my doubt because I refused to let it dictate my actions. That is what built this company, that is what built my family, and that is what continues to build my life today. So as we close this year, ask yourself: are you operating from feelings, or are you following a standard? Are you making deposits every day, or are you hoping that things just work out? Because without discipline, you don't stand a chance. With it, you create a foundation that allows you to not only survive but thrive no matter what comes your way. Reader Engagement Questions Where in your life do you need to raise your standard so discipline guides you instead of feelings? How do your family, clients, and peers experience you when things fall apart do they see strength or instability? What daily deposits can you commit to right now that will keep you steady through both success and hardship? Notable Quotes “If you are in a weakened position and you do nothing, it makes things worse. There is no positive that could come out of that.” “Discipline allows you to remain strong in moments of tragedy, in moments of weakness, in moments of doubt and fear but you wouldn't know.” “Regardless of where I am in life, I show up the very same way day in and day out. But again, you wouldn't know.” Follow A.Z. Araujo on Social Media: Instagram: @azaraujo Facebook: A.Z. Araujo TikTok: A.Z.

Send us a textWhat if the most radical form of freedom is simply waking up clear—and staying that way? Corey opens up about life on both sides of the bottle and what changed when he traded chaos for consistency: mornings that don't start in shame, a mind that doesn't spin stories, and relationships built on truth instead of excuses. It's a candid walk through the quiet wins that stack into a different life: reliability, emotional balance, and the kind of peace you can feel in your chest.We dig into how trust is earned back one action at a time and why predictability—once dismissed as boring—turns out to be a gift. Corey breaks down the physical reset of sobriety, from real sleep to steady energy, and how that stability unlocks self-worth that isn't tied to performance. We talk amends as responsibility, not a shortcut to forgiveness, and how consistency rewires identity. There's purpose here too: service to newcomers, reaching back with a steady hand, and rediscovering creativity that addiction numbed. Financial stability shows up as part of the change—paying bills, saving a bit, planning ahead—because peace also lives in the practical.By the end, gratitude has a new shape: not denial of pain, but a clear-eyed reframing that turns survival into living. If you're curious about the real benefits of recovery—clarity, honesty, purpose, emotional regulation, financial stability, creativity, and peace of mind—this conversation offers a map grounded in experience, not clichés. Listen, reflect, and share it with someone who needs to hear that freedom doesn't have to be loud to last.

Key Highlights Embrace Change and Build Your S Curve Whitney emphasizes the importance of continuously “disrupting yourself”—intentionally jumping from your current expertise to a fresh learning curve. This creates new opportunities for growth and prevents stagnation. “If I stay here, I'll stop growing and I'll start dying.” Your Network is Your Career Moat Kelly illustrates how cultivating your network proactively acts as a shield, providing resilience in uncertain job markets and transitions.

Strategic Self Investment and Energy Management Claire recommends regular self-inventory to manage your energy and optimize what gives you purpose. Simple self-checks (“Where did my energy go today?”) help you identify what to double down on and what to eliminate, fueling sustainable, meaningful progress. Purposeful Growth and Holistic Well-being Jason highlights the ROI of investing not only in your skills but also in your well-being. He encourages us to measure outcomes like peace of mind and rest as real assets: “Gears that grind for too long get worn out and then thrown out. An investment in rest is vital.” Call-to-Action Here's my challenge to you this week. Identify one thing in your life that you want to improve. Maybe you want to understand how to use AI in your job. Maybe you want to become a better public speaker. Maybe you want to learn to be a better cook. Whatever it is, pick it. Then do some research. Find a course, a book, a coach, or a community. Pick a date to start. Not "someday." Not "when things slow down." An actual date on your calendar. The difference between people who grow and people who stay stuck isn't talent or time or money. It's the willingness to pick a date and show up Small, consistent action beats waiting for the "perfect" time every time.
