As we go forward to prioritize the unique concept of mental beauty, episode 114 of the Dare To Share Your Untold Story Podcast, Mental Beauty Segments, Extracting the Beauty Tangled in Knots of Fear-Based Living. In relation to this episode topic the prior episode 71 has been selected for further exploration and deeper dive. In episode 71, titled “Untangling Beauty from Her Tangled Web of Fears”, with guest, Garcia Hanson. Her journey is a profound example of what it takes to break free from the grip of fear and self-doubt. Her story sheds light on how we can find resilience, self-worth, and ultimately, beauty within the messiness of life's challenges. Her journey truly embodies the essence of Mental Beauty. It's a testament to the transformational power of embracing vulnerability and using it as a tool for growth. When we consistently prioritize our mental and emotional well-being, we unlock the ability to live more fully. Garcia highlights this beautifully when she says: “The definition of success is the grace to make changes.” This idea resonates deeply—it's about breaking free from fear, making room for growth, and allowing ourselves the space to redefine success on our terms. Garcia reminds us, success doesn't come from perfection or from meeting external expectations. Instead, it's rooted in finding the courage to untangle those knots and embrace our true selves. Garcia's Mental Beauty Rethink challenges us to confront the hidden fears and self-doubt that often define our lives. Her story is a powerful reminder that behind every perfect facade lies a more complex, vulnerable reality. 3 Practical ‘Mental Beauty Tips' inspired by Episode 114: Name and Reframe Your Fears: Start by naming the fears you feel. Write them down, and identify any underlying beliefs tied to these fears—such as “I'm not enough,” or “I'll be judged.” Reframe these beliefs by challenging their validity and reminding yourself of what's true about you. For example, replace "I'm not enough" with "I am doing my best, and I deserve to be valued." Reframing gives you a more supportive inner voice, allowing you to embrace self-acceptance while seeing fears for what they are: mental constructs, not certainties. Practice Self-Compassion with Small Acts of Courage: Fear often keeps us from stepping outside our comfort zone. Start by taking small, manageable actions toward self-acceptance. For instance, say “no” to a request when you're already overwhelmed, or express a genuine feeling with someone you trust. Each small act of courage helps you build resilience and reinforces the message that you're worthy of acceptance, exactly as you are. Visualize Success and Lean into Your Values: Visualization is a powerful tool for reprogramming your mind to view unfamiliar situations more positively. Spend a few minutes each day picturing yourself navigating challenges with confidence and strength. Tie this practice to your core values—ask yourself how embracing courage or acceptance aligns with your true values (e.g., authenticity, growth, love). Visualizing yourself succeeding in alignment with your values strengthens your resolve to act, helping you move from a fear-driven mindset toward one where you can live freely, guided by your truest self. Episode 114 Takeaway: A self-care tool called ‘Mindful Grounding': This involves taking a few intentional moments each day to pause, breathe, and reconnect with your immediate surroundings. Begin by finding a quiet place, then close your eyes and take three deep breaths, focusing on the sensation of the breath as it fills your lungs and leaves your body. Once you feel centred, open your eyes and slowly observe five things you can see, four things you can feel, three things you can hear, two things you can smell, and one thing you can taste.  This grounding exercise gently pulls your mind away from anxious thoughts by anchoring you in the present moment.

Key Takeaways:Release the Outcome: Don't tie your self-worth to others' decisions. Focus on effort and preparation, and give people the power to make empowered choices.Reframe Rejection as Protection: Rejection isn't failure; it's feedback. Use nos as opportunities to refine your approach and understand that timing and fit matter more than personal rejection.Build Relationships First: Prioritize authentic connections over immediate outcomes. Listen to people's needs, validate their concerns, and create mutually beneficial interactions.Practice Self-Compassion and Persistence: Acknowledge disappointment quickly, but don't dwell on it. Keep moving forward, stay in action, and remember that “no”s are part of ultimately getting to yes. “Your job is not to convince people to do anything. Your job is to help somebody make an empowered decision.” “Remember, relationship first. The money will follow.” “We can sometimes perceive them as rejection, but objections are just people trying to figure out how this could fit and work for them in a way that feels right to them.” - Maryanne Dersch  Ask for and receive all you want, need and deserve without feeling rejected, ineffective, or pushy.

Listen to Episode 25: APPLE SPOTIFY YOUTUBE SITE As we extend to prioritize the unique concept of mental beauty, episode 107 of the Dare To Share Your Untold Story Podcast, Mental Beauty Segments, focuses on re-gaining control even when you feel stripped of having control. In relation to this episode topic the prior episode 25 has been selected for further exploration and deeper dive. In episode 25, titled: ““The Dis-ease of Trauma, Murder & Death Came her way,' with guest, Carys Cragg. Her journey is a powerful example of resilience, transformation, and breaking free from the chains of tragedy. Her story, which she frames as a pursuit of understanding and healing, shows how confronting her past turned grief into growth. It's about embracing the complexity of human experiences, no matter how challenging they may be. Carys's open sharing serves as a permission slip for all of us to confront our deepest pain and admit our vulnerabilities. Her courage in corresponding with her father's murderer demonstrates that healing can come from the most unexpected places. Her story beautifully illustrates, our most painful experiences are not just scars, but potential sources of profound insight and personal growth. In essence, she shows us that even our darkest moments can lead to light - they're not blemishes, but opportunities for beauty to emerge. What strikes me most about Carys's Mental Beauty rethink is its focus on future-forward thinking. She invites us to reconsider how we view the world and mental health, encouraging us to adopt new thought processes and shifted perspectives. The term 'Mental Beauty' itself opens up a world of promise and opportunity to cultivate a deeper understanding of ourselves and others. Listen to this episode as we take a deeper dive into this topic. 3 Practical ‘Mental Beauty Tips' inspired by Episode 107: Educate Yourself and Others: Empower yourself with knowledge about trauma and its effects. Surround Yourself with Supportive Allies: Seek out individuals and communities that understand and respect your journey. Practice Self-Compassion and Assertiveness: Give yourself permission to prioritize your well-being over societal expectations. Episode 107 Takeaway: A self-care technique to help listen to your own inner voice and inner guidance is daily mindfulness meditation focused on inner reflection: Begin each day by setting aside just 10-15 minutes in a quiet space where you won't be disturbed. Sit comfortably, close your eyes, and take a few deep breaths to centre yourself. As you settle into your breath, gently direct your attention inward, focusing on what you truly feel and need at that moment, without any external influence. Ask yourself, "What is my inner voice telling me today?" Allow whatever thoughts or feelings arise to come to the surface without judgment or the need to act on them immediately.

Self-compassion is treating yourself with the same kindness, care, and understanding that you would offer to a close friend.   Self-compassion impacts emotional wellness. Emotional wellness is all about understanding, managing, and navigating our feelings in a healthy way. Self-compassion plays a huge role in this by creating a space where we can process our emotions without adding layers of guilt or shame.   Practical Ways to Practice Self-Compassion: Start with Self-Talk: Begin noticing how you talk to yourself, especially when things go wrong. Would you talk to a friend the way you talk to yourself? Replace harsh judgments with encouraging words. Take Breaks When You're Struggling: When you're feeling overwhelmed, pause and remind yourself that it's okay to step back. Give yourself permission to rest and recharge without feeling guilty. Write Yourself a Compassionate Letter: Whenever you're feeling particularly down or self-critical, write yourself a letter from the perspective of a close friend. This can help you see your situation from a more compassionate lens. Practice Mindfulness Meditation: Mindfulness helps you stay present with your emotions without over-identifying with them. Try incorporating mindfulness practices, like deep breathing or meditation, into your routine. I'm Nicole L.

SHOW NOTES: On this show…we are exploring the power of influence, recognizing what shapes us, and taking back control. We have all been bombarded with messaging asking, begging, and sometimes coercing us to think, feel, and take action. Where do your own thoughts hide in the midst of such assaults? Influence as a pervasive force in our lives that can shape our choices, our mindset, and even our identity. It can feel like a current—sometimes it gently guides us, but other times it's strong enough to sweep us off our feet. The key is in recognizing where influence is coming from and deciding how much power to give it. Let's take a big breathe here and make a commitment to unpack, resort, and purge some influencing ideas that no longer serve us in a positive way.  Influence is more than just peer pressure; it's subtle and can come from various sources—family, friends, social media, society, our inner dialogue, and even our environment.  A close friend's advice feels comforting but can sometimes lead you down their path instead of yours. Social media trends can push you to buy, think, or act in ways you normally wouldn't. Influence of a mentor or a loved one can impactfully shape your values and ambitions. Tyler Jensen, a psychotherapist,  sheds some light on The Allure of Negativity: Why Our Brains Are Drawn to It At Knowledge of Wharton, I found ‘Invisible Influence': What Really Shapes Our Decisions, an interview with the author Jonah Berger On Simon Sinek's YouTube channel, as always, I found some wise words  on How to Stop Holding Yourself Back Develop Media Literacy and Mindful Consumption Pause and Evaluate: Before you engage with media (whether it's news, social media, or entertainment), take a moment to reflect on what you're about to consume. Ask yourself why you're choosing this source, and consider whether it aligns with your values or goals. Question the Source: Develop a habit of asking, “Who created this, and what might be their motivation?” For example, consider whether a brand, influencer, or network could have hidden interests. Recognizing potential biases helps you stay in control of how you interpret information. Limit Exposure to Influential Sources Set Boundaries: If you notice certain media or social media accounts lead to self-doubt, stress, or unhealthy comparison, consider unfollowing, muting, or setting a time limit on those platforms. Curate Positive Influences: Choose to follow people, brands, and organizations that support your goals, align with your values, and inspire you in constructive ways. Make it a rule to engage with content that adds positivity and growth to your life. Strengthen Your Core Values Define Your Values: Reflect on what's truly important to you, whether it's integrity, creativity, kindness, learning, or independence. When you have a solid sense of your core values, it becomes easier to recognize when outside influence aligns or conflicts with them. Regularly Revisit Goals and Priorities: Set aside time each month to revisit your goals. Are you on track with what you want, or have you drifted because of external pressures? Realigning with your values keeps you grounded in your personal vision. Practice Self-Questioning to Uncover Hidden Influence Ask Yourself Key Questions:“Why do I want to do this?” This question can help you determine if a choice truly aligns with your desires or if it's an idea you've absorbed from others. “How do I feel about this?” Checking in with your feelings lets you see if you're enthusiastic, uneasy, or pressured—emotions that reveal whether your decision is authentic. “What would I do if no one else were watching?” Imagine you're free of anyone's opinion or judgment to help identify choices that are truly your own. Build Confidence in Your Own Voice Challenge Yourself to Act on Your Opinions: Start with small decisions where you rely solely on your own thoughts. For example, choose an outfit based on your preference, pick a book that genuinely interests you, or make weekend plans based on what would make you happiest. Engage in Conversations with an Open Mind: Practice sharing your perspective in discussions, even if it's different from others. Engaging with diverse opinions while sticking to your viewpoint can help build resilience and confidence in your own voice. Create a Supportive Inner Circle Surround Yourself with Encouragers: Choose friends, mentors, and family members who respect your individuality and encourage you to make decisions that feel true to you. A supportive circle will uplift and validate you, rather than pressuring you to conform. Find Accountability Partners: Identify someone who's also working on taking control of their influences and check in with each other. Share your progress, any struggles, and celebrate wins together to help reinforce each other's growth. Practice Self-Compassion and Flexibility Recognize that Influence is Natural: Understand that we're all influenced by our environments. Self-compassion can prevent you from feeling guilty if you realize you've been swayed in a direction you didn't want. Instead, view it as an opportunity to learn and readjust. Be Open to Change: Sometimes, testing your perspective means you might genuinely change your opinion. That's a sign of growth. The goal is to ensure that any changes reflect your evolving self rather than fleeting external pressures. CHALLENGE: Remember, influence is a force we all experience, but it doesn't have to control us. Recognize what's guiding your path, decide what you want to allow in, and remember that you have the power to steer your own journey.   I Know YOU Can Do It!

People with OCD often feel trapped by strict rules in their daily lives. These unwritten rules might mean always trying to control their thoughts, constantly seeking certainty, seeing anxiety as a sign of immediate danger, feeling personally responsible for preventing harm, analyzing every thought meticulously, striving for perfection in everything, and keeping their struggle with OCD hidden from others. In today's episode of The OCD Whisperer Podcast, we sit down with  Dr. Kim Rockwell Evans, a licensed professional counselor and licensed marriage and family therapist with over 20 years of experience. Dr. Evans is  the author of "Breaking the Rules of OCD: Find Lasting Freedom from the Unwanted Thoughts, Rituals, and Compulsions that Rule Your Life," During the conversation, Dr. Evans discusses treating OCD and anxiety disorders, focusing on the core issue of agency loss. She emphasizes that individuals with OCD often feel compelled to perform rituals, believing they lack choice, and advises recognizing one's agency to make different choices. Her book outlines seven rules to break OCD's grip, including challenging perfectionism, embracing uncertainty, and addressing discomfort intolerance. The episode also clarifies ERP therapy misconceptions and normalizes setbacks as growth opportunities. Dr. Evans introduces Aikido principles as a metaphor for managing OCD triggers, advocating redirecting energy rather than confrontation. She concludes with the "PASSION" acronym: Pause, Pivot, and Proceed; Accept Experiences; Strengthen Your Stance; Practice Self-Compassion; Invite Exposure; Observe Thoughts; and Stay Present. These principles help individuals build resilience and live fulfilling lives free from OCD constraints.   In This Episode [01:23] The motivation behind writing her book  [02:32] The seven rules of OCD [04:11] Common misconceptions about OCD [05:37] Blending therapy approaches in the book [07:08] Challenges and relapses in OCD treatment [08:38] Making therapy accessible [10:15] Mindfulness and agency in OCD treatment [13:42] Mindfulness during exposure [18:23] The power of mindfulness [20:32] The most important rule to break [21:29] The resistance battle [23:03] Aikido principles [26:31] Passion acronym Notable Quotes [04:11] “There have been many tears of relief shed in my office when people find out that they're not broken.”- Dr. Kim Rockwell Evans [10:57] “We all want to feel good and we all want to do things that will help us feel better.” Dr. Kim Rockwell Evans [17:37]  “If people can get in touch with what a chore it is to do the compulsion, then that's an incentive to not resist so much but actually to learn to allow.” Dr. Kim Rockwell Evans [21:29] “'What you resist keeps persisting. It's a counterintuitive thing, and when you resist, you can notice this battle within yourself.”-Dr. Kim Rockwell Evans [23:03]  “If you notice that OCD trigger, rather than going straight into the compulsion, pause and say, "I have an opportunity to learn here."'

Well, we are almost at the end of the year. Happy New Year! Oh, you guys Thank you all so much for listening along in 2023. I was feeling a little emotional writing this intro. I'm so excited that we made it through another year. These podcast episodes are a lot of work and following through on stuff takes a lot of effort for me so I'm just really proud of myself for keeping up with it! And I have to say that what makes it easier for me is how much logistical, technical, and creative support my teammates Sean and Justice provide me and the continuous emotional support I get from them and other colleagues of mine at Beyond BookSmart - continually putting yourself out there as a podcast host is challenging so the emotional safety net they provide is well, I couldn't do it without it.

Today's episode is a conversation I had with Dr. Marissa Edwards, Ariela Paulsen, and Karl Apelgren. These fantastic humans are all executive function coaches for Beyond BookSmart and If you've attended any of our free community education webinars, you may recognize their voices. I was so thrilled they agreed to join me for a Coach Q & A episode where we answer questions that were asked by people who registered for our webinars. Today we tackle managing negative thoughts, the impact of complex medical conditions on our executive functioning, the power of connection and having a strong support network, test anxiety, finding motivation when you're not interested in something, especially classes, and how to succeed even if you have a teacher who is not supportive of your needs.

As leaders, there are certainly tough days when we don't feel our best. In this insightful discussion, learn about the importance of self-compassion in leadership and why asking yourself "What do I need?" on those difficult days can help you refocus on self-care. I'm also sharing the challenges and loneliness of leadership, and why going easy on yourself is very important in self-care.  Tune in for relatable advice on balancing empathy for others with empathy for yourself - even on your worst days. This is a must-listen for any leader looking to sustain well-being in high-pressure roles. Here are some power takeaways from today's conversation: How to practice self-compassion as an empathetic leader on bad days The power of asking yourself “What do I need?” The loneliness of leadership and the importance of self-compassion Episode Highlights: [00:08] How to Practice Self-Compassion as an Empathetic Leader on Bad Days As an empathetic leader, it's natural to want to always show up as your best self. However, there will be days when you fall short and don't meet your own high expectations. It's important to practice self-compassion on these bad days. When you find yourself in this situation, try to acknowledge your feelings and the fact that you're not perfect. Ask yourself what you need in that moment to help you move forward. Maybe it's taking a break, talking to a friend or colleague, or simply practicing some deep breathing exercises. It's also important to let go of any negative self-talk or self-judgment. Remind yourself that it's okay to make mistakes and that you're still growing and learning as a leader. Instead of dwelling on your shortcomings, focus on the positive actions you can take to improve. [00:40] The Power of Asking Yourself "What Do I Need?" As human beings, we all have moments where we miss the mark and don't meet our own expectations. During these times, it's natural to feel frustrated or overwhelmed. However, instead of dwelling on what went wrong, it's important to ask yourself a simple yet powerful question: "What do I need?" By shifting your focus to your needs in the present moment, you can take steps to prioritize your well-being and improve your overall state of mind. It may be as simple as taking a break, practicing self-care, or reaching out to a supportive friend or colleague. [01:08] The Loneliness of Leadership and the Importance of Self-Compassion Being a leader can be an isolating experience that leaves you feeling confused and overwhelmed. It can feel like you're having conversations behind closed doors that are alarming and stressful. It's important to recognize that it's okay to struggle and that you need to go easy on yourself. Finding compassion for yourself can be difficult but it's crucial for your well-being. Making friends and building a peer group is essential for support. Remember, you need each other – the group of peers you surround yourself with and the ones you don't want are equally important in your growth as a leader. Take care of yourself and be kind to yourself, it's not always easy but it's worth it.

From Overwhelmed to Empowered: Navigating Burnout and Cultivating Well-being in Grooming Careers In today's episode, we'll be discussing practical strategies to overcome burnout and create a fulfilling grooming career. So, let's dive in! Step 1: Recognize the Signs of Burnout. Burnout often starts subtly, so it's essential to be aware of the warning signs. Symptoms may include chronic fatigue, decreased motivation, loss of passion for grooming, increased irritability, and a decline in the quality of your work. By recognizing these signs early on, you can take proactive steps to address burnout and prevent it from taking over your life. Step 2: Practice Self-Compassion. Groomers are often perfectionists, striving to provide exceptional care for every pet. However, it's crucial to be kind and compassionate to yourself as well. Acknowledge that you're human, and it's okay to make mistakes or have off days. Treat yourself with the same empathy and understanding you extend to the pets in your care. Step 3: Prioritize Self-Care. Groomers tend to prioritize the well-being of their furry clients, sometimes neglecting their own needs. Make self-care a non-negotiable part of your routine. Set aside time for activities that rejuvenate you, whether it's practicing mindfulness, engaging in hobbies, spending time with loved ones, or indulging in a favorite pastime. Remember, nurturing your own well-being allows you to provide better care for the pets you groom. Step 4: Set Realistic Expectations. Unrealistic expectations can be a breeding ground for burnout. Evaluate your workload, schedule, and client expectations. Are you taking on too much? Are your boundaries clear? Communicate openly with clients about realistic timeframes and manage their expectations. Remember, it's better to underpromise and overdeliver than to overcommit and underdeliver. Step 5: Seek Support and Connection. The grooming industry can sometimes feel isolating. Reach out for support from fellow groomers, mentors, or industry associations. Engage in networking events, join online communities, or participate in trade shows, workshops and seminars. Connecting with others who understand the unique challenges of the profession can provide you with a sense of camaraderie and support during difficult times. Step 6: Develop a Work-Life Balance. Striking a healthy work-life balance is essential to prevent burnout. Identify boundaries between your personal and professional life and strive to maintain them. Designate specific hours for work and create downtime for yourself. Remember, you are not defined solely by your grooming career—nurturing your personal life is just as important. Step 7: Learn to Delegate and Ask for Help. Recognize that you don't have to do everything on your own. Identify tasks that can be delegated or outsourced to free up your time and energy. Whether it's hiring an assistant, utilizing grooming software, or seeking help from professionals in areas like marketing or bookkeeping, delegating allows you to focus on your strengths and passions. Step 8: Embrace Lifelong Learning. The grooming industry is ever-evolving, and continuous learning is key to staying engaged and inspired. Stay updated on the latest grooming techniques, industry trends, and business strategies. Attend workshops, webinars, and grooming conventions. Investing in your professional development not only enhances your skills but also reignites your passion for grooming. Step 9: Practice Stress Management Techniques. Stress is a common companion in the grooming profession, but managing it effectively is crucial. Explore stress management techniques such as deep breathing exercises, meditation, yoga, or journaling. Find what works best for you and incorporate these practices into your daily routine to maintain balance and resilience. Step 10: Celebrate Your Successes. In the midst of burnout, it's easy to overlook your achievements. Take time to celebrate even the smallest victories along your grooming journey. Acknowledge your growth, the positive impact you've had on pets and their owners, and the dedication you bring to your craft. Celebrating your successes boosts morale and reinforces your sense of accomplishment. Navigating burnout and cultivating well-being in a grooming career is an ongoing journey. By recognizing the signs of burnout, practicing self-compassion, prioritizing self-care, setting realistic expectations, seeking support, developing work-life balance, delegating, embracing lifelong learning, practicing stress management techniques, and celebrating your successes, you can transform overwhelm into empowerment and create a fulfilling grooming career. I hope you found these strategies valuable and inspiring. Remember, you have the power to shape your grooming career into one that brings you joy and fulfillment.

You cannot shame or bully yourself into wholeness. My inner critic was vicious. It bullied me, held me back, pointed out all my flaws 24/7, and told me I was never good enough. No matter how hard I worked, I could never keep up or measure up.When my third child was born, 18 years ago, I held her little body in my arms and realized in that moment that for her sake and mine, I would never again bully or berate my body or myself. I made the decision and then I had to practice.Some Key Ideas:Compassion needs to be bidirectional.Falling down, making mistakes, or being messy is not the problem. Staying down, or staying mired in shame and judgment is a problem.Self-Compassion has 3 components: mindfulness, self-kindness, common humanity.Fear and the Inner Critic are not against you - they are simply trying to protect you but in maladaptive ways (or ways that no longer serve you).Safety is required for us to be in a position to hear, grow, heal, build a new pattern.Links/References: Kristin Neff: Self-Compassion3/2/1 Exercise: 3 Purposeful Questions I Ask Myself Each Night as Part of a Simple Evening Routine | (alifeinprogress.ca)Befriend Your Inner Critic Workshop: Sep 6, 2023 Befriend Your Inner Critic Workshop | A Life In ProgressHow To Befriend My Inner Critic and Quiet Its Noise: How to Befriend my Inner Critic and Quiet its Noise | (alifeinprogress.ca)Tender Self-Compassion: Self-Compassion Will Help You Become Your Own Best Friend | (alifeinprogress.ca)Fierce Self-Compassion: How to Practice Fierce Self-Compassion to Get Unstuck | (alifeinprogress.ca)

With today's parenting culture of unattainable expectations and incessant demands, it is no wonder so many of us suffer from "Shitty Parent Syndrome" —the perception that one is a crummy parent—leaving us feeling confused and insecure about how to raise our children. In this thought-provoking episode, we talk with Carla Naumburg, author of "You Are Not a Sh*tty Parent: How to Practice Self-Compassion and Give Yourself a Break." She shares her insights on parenting, self-compassion, and curiosity. She challenges the notion of being a "shitty parent" and emphasizes the importance of embracing self-compassion and curiosity to become better parents.  Topics Discussed: Shifting perspectives: There's no such thing as a "shitty parent." The power of self-compassion. Navigating the sea of parenting information. The double-edged sword of excessive parenting information. Filling the gap between knowledge and implementation. Carving out time for self-care. Examining time constraints vs. priorities. Modeling a healthy and balanced life for children. Embracing curiosity for better understanding. Creating an open and compassionate space for communication. ---- GUEST WEBSITE: https://www.carlanaumburg.com/  ---- MORE FROM THE FIT MESS: Get bonus clips and additional resources in our newsletter!

  Self-compassion is such an important piece to your emotional and mental wellbeing. It is also a foundational piece to elevating your own self-worth, but so many people struggle with speaking kindly and nicely to their own self. As a high achiever or even a perfectionist, there's this urge to constantly want to push yourself and it can sometimes feel ‘icky' to give yourself any sort of praise when you've reached (or almost reached) the finish line.    When you're going through any sort of loss, grief, or drastic transition that you're not in control of, self-compassion plays a critical role in getting you out of it and into a better place. If we are constantly criticizing ourselves, our internal wellbeing takes a big hit, and combine that with your negative life circumstances, then depression and procrastination might set in.     You should not beat yourself up for not getting over something quickly. Everyone has their journey and sometimes those emotions will come back and affect you even years later. The importance is to feel through those emotions and to use self-compassion to soothe your internal self and reassure it that everything will be okay. No matter what, you are resilient. You can face whatever unknown challenge that's coming your way.    Continue Your Growth Journey: Kaminiwood.com

Welcome to another thought-provoking episode of the Self-Aware Leader podcast, where we delve into the depths of our emotions, and explore how understanding ourselves can help us become better leaders and human beings. In this episode, we discuss a fundamental aspect of our lives: love and the right to give and receive it. It's natural for human beings to crave love and connection. However, some people may struggle with giving or receiving affection, being hugged, or experiencing deep emotions. If you're one of those people, you may unconsciously believe that you're undeserving of love. In this episode, we explore the reasons behind these emotional barriers and how to break through them to embrace love wholeheartedly. The Emotional Barriers to Love: Past Trauma or Negative Experiences: Our past experiences, particularly any form of trauma or emotional abuse, can have a significant impact on our ability to give and receive love. These experiences may have led us to associate love and affection with pain or disappointment, making us hesitant to engage in such emotions again. Fear of Vulnerability: Opening up to love requires us to be vulnerable, which can be frightening for some. The fear of vulnerability may stem from a fear of being hurt, rejected, or judged. This fear may hold us back from fully embracing love and affection, as we put up barriers to protect ourselves from potential emotional pain. Low Self-Worth: Our sense of self-worth plays a crucial role in our ability to give and receive love. If we believe that we're undeserving of love or affection, we may unconsciously push it away. It's important to acknowledge and work on improving our self-worth to truly embrace love in our lives. Breaking Through Emotional Barriers: Self-Reflection and Awareness: The first step to breaking through emotional barriers is self-reflection. Take the time to explore your feelings and emotions, and identify the root cause of your resistance to love and affection. Acknowledge and accept your feelings, and be open to understanding and working through them. Seek Professional Help: If you're struggling to break through your emotional barriers on your own, seeking professional help from a therapist or counselor can be a valuable resource. They can provide guidance, support, and the necessary tools to help you work through your feelings and develop healthier emotional patterns. Practice Self-Compassion and Empathy: As you work on breaking through your emotional barriers, it's essential to practice self-compassion and empathy. Understand that healing and growth are a process, and it's okay to stumble along the way. Treat yourself with kindness and patience, and extend that same compassion and empathy to others as well. Develop Trusting Relationships: Building strong, trusting relationships with friends, family, and romantic partners can help you feel more comfortable with love and affection. By surrounding yourself with supportive and loving individuals, you'll begin to feel safer and more secure in your ability to give and receive love. Conclusion: Embracing love and affection in our lives is a vital part of our emotional well-being and overall happiness. By identifying and working through our emotional barriers, we can learn to love wholeheartedly and become more self-aware, compassionate leaders. Remember, as a human being, you have the right to love and be loved. Don't let your emotional barriers hold you back from experiencing the fullness of love that life has to offer.

Calorie counting can be a difficult habit to break, especially for those going through eating disorder and hypothalamic amenorrhea recovery. The constant focus on numbers and restriction can create a harmful relationship with food and hinder progress towards a healthier lifestyle. Fortunately, there are five essential tools that can help individuals let go of calorie counting and develop a more intuitive approach to food. Mindful Eating: mindful eating involves being present and engaged while eating, paying attention to hunger and fullness cues, and savoring the experience of eating. This can help individuals become more in tune with their body's needs and develop a healthier relationship with food. Nutrition Education: understanding the basics of nutrition can help individuals make informed choices about their food intake without obsessing over calories. This includes learning about macronutrients, micronutrients, and portion sizes. Addressing Your Fears Surrounding Giving Up Counting Calories: many individuals fear giving up calorie counting because they worry about losing control or gaining weight. Addressing these fears and challenging negative thoughts can help individuals let go of the need to count calories and embrace a more balanced approach to food. Experimenting with Not Tracking Certain Meals/Times: it can be helpful to start small when letting go of calorie counting. Experimenting with not tracking certain meals or times of day can help individuals gradually build confidence in their ability to listen to their body's needs. Seek Support and Practice Self-Compassion: recovery from an eating disorder or hypothalamic amenorrhea can be challenging, and it's important to seek support from a therapist or support group. Practicing self-compassion can also help individuals be kinder to themselves as they navigate this journey. In this podcast episode, we dive deeper into these five essential tools to help individuals let go of calorie counting and develop a more intuitive approach to food. By implementing these tools, individuals can work towards a healthier relationship with food and a more positive overall mindset. ❤️ Join my newsletter list for weekly motivation and inspiration and you'll also receive a FREE copy of my eBook "Body Confidence (for life!) guide" ❤️ Ready to get your period back? Join the next round of Healing Hypothalamic Amenorrhea!

Unhealthy habits often prevent us from achieving our goals & becoming our best selves every day. Taking action to shift your unhealthy habits into healthy habits is the best way to create habits that are aligned with your goals. Here are 5 tips to help you shift.Show Notes:One of the most unhealthy habits that I have been working on shifting into a healthier habit is People Pleasing. You might not think about people pleasing as a traditional habit, but I see it as a habit because it's something I perpetually did that was created out of repetition & continually triggered by the need for the reward at the end, which for me was love, acceptance & appreciation.It's something I am constantly working on, but do feel like I have successfully shifted most of it into a healthier habit that is more me putting myself first, not depending on external validation & acceptance & being ok with rejection. Again, it's a daily battle, but I can recognize that I have come a long way. And it's totally okay that you are continually working on keeping a habit healthy because at least you're doing the work & not letting it turn you into a victim.It can be really difficult to determine if the habit you are engaging in is unhealthy if you've been doing it for a long time, if it hasn't caused any trouble YOU can see and if no one has said anything about it. But despite all that, you MIGHT be engaging in unhealthy habits that are holding you back from having & being so much more than you are right now.In the previous episode, we chatted about how to create habits that aligned with our goals. This is crucial because if we are living life with habits that don't align with our goals, which is a part of our journey into our futures, then we won't get there & might not even realize we are drifting into a different direction than we anticipated. Listen to that episode if you haven't yet, because it will help a ton with the key points in aligning both habits & goals.Today we are going to chat about how we can shift away from unhealthy habits into healthy habits, which will allow us to work towards our goals & become our best selves.Here are 5 Tips on How to Shift From Unhealthy Habits into Healthy Habits:Identify the Unhealthy Habit You're Going to Change.Create a Plan for Shifting to the New Healthy Habit.Stay Consistent.Practice Self-Compassion. Celebrate Your Progress. Thank you again for supporting me in listening, downloading & sharing the show!!

Let's have a quick chat about how to practice self-compassion through life's challenges, it's not always easy to be there for yourself, to love yourself unconditionally, and be kind to yourself. This is an invitation to just pause, reflect, and realize that you are doing the best you can right now. Beloveds, being there for yourself is of the utmost importance. We all go through seasons in life, some may be more challenging than others, and some may teach us lessons we desperately need to learn; but holding space for yourself during these times can affect your energy and how you work through these journeys.  When we practice unconditional self-love, and hold space for ourselves, we invite others to do the same and even in the areas where we feel a lack of support from others, we can still rely on a strong foundation of self-compassion and self-support.  The Importance of Self-Compassion is an article I wrote to give you a sense of WHY self-compassion is necessary and how you can implement that in your daily practices, I invite you to read it and ask yourself the following: - How am I supporting myself? - How can I show myself more compassion daily?  - What is really hard right now? How can I acknowledge that? Embracing yourself isn't saying that everything is fine and you aren't going to do the inner work, it is the act of saying that “I am enough” and “what I am doing is enough”, the stark difference is that you're acknowledging all that's affecting you from your environment to your past, to your inner child that might still need healing, but you're accepting the fact that you are coping. The steps you are taking are enough and you can love yourself in the process of healing. I don't know about you, but I've found that we often love the idea of our destination but we forget to love our journey… loving each step because it is taking us closer to our future self. Showing yourself love, forgiveness, compassion, understanding, and kindness will allow your mind to soften around the self-criticism, the negativity we all are guilty of placing on ourselves. You deserve to love yourself, practice self-compassion, and be kind to your heart, dear Divine Woman, you deserve to always give that love to yourself first. I invite you to listen to this episode as a meditation, a time for reflection, and a time to sit with yourself. Surround yourself with light and love, and give yourself the break that you've desperately needed. You are doing your best, and I am so proud of you!  

We all get overwhelmed sometimes and it's completely normal. That said, I wanted to give you 5 reminders in today's episode that have really helped me when I get overwhelmed.

What if we changed things up a bit and started speaking to ourselves with loving kindness and compassion?? What if instead of self-judgment and self-criticism in our heads, we heard empathy and encouragement?Jessica Patay believes the key to thriving and surviving amidst chronic hardship is the practice of self-compassion. From this all other compassionate practices will flow–as in acknowledging our own needs and emotions, acknowledging our inborn worthiness, acknowledging our need for connection and community. And then putting into practice self-care and soul care.In this practical episode, host Jessica Patay gives us a crash course in self-compassion. She covers the concept that we have worth just by existing, the difference between Self-Care and Self-Comfort practices, and she shares lessons learned from Kristin Neff's book, The Proven Power of Being Kind to Yourself and her Soul Care course with Spiritual Therapist Suzi Lula.

These tips may not be wildly different than ones I would give in a generalized chat about anxiety, but it's all about the perspective that we see our struggles through & how these tips can be shifted to serve us in that way. Here are 5 tips for managing anxiety as a mom.Show Notes:I sometimes blame myself for how badly my kiddo deals with anxiety because I truly believe she learned it from me. I did my best to put on a brave face anytime I was feeling anxious or heavy-hearted in some way, but I'm sure she still FELT it. Kids are SO GOOD at seeing right through you & finding the truth if you aren't careful. There were, for sure, times I just let my stress, frustrations and anxieties out for her to witness. And after any outburst that wasn't appropriate or the best choice, I also let her know afterward. Especially if that meant apologizing to her because I may have chosen to react instead of respond and took it out on her.s was such a good opportunity to teach real-life lessons & have honest conversations about how people act & how we should deal with that. I am very much a ‘let's learn in the moment' kind of mom. More often than not I am talking about a lesson that can be learned in that experience. And that was really helpful when I would let an anxious moment spin out of control because I was able to show our kiddo how to recover.I'm not saying you should just let it all out & use it as an excuse to teach your kiddo something. It can't be like that all the time. We need to figure out what will help us manage our anxiety, even under the weight of everything we do as a mom. If you missed it, the episode that was released right before this one is all about some common causes of anxiety for moms. I talk about financial pressures, work-life balance, things like that because it's important to draw awareness to what's contributing to our struggles to better understand it & be able to manage it.Today I want to share some tips for actually managing anxiety as a mom. These tips aren't wildly different from what I would share with anyone else struggling with anxiety, but it's helpful to see your struggle through both your personal perspective and a wider, more generalized perspective.Here are 5 Tips for Managing Anxiety as a Mom:Prioritize Everything You Can.Work On Being More Present.Set Boundaries to Limit Overwhelming Commitments.Practice Self-Compassion.Make Having a Support System a Top Priority. Thank you so much for sharing the show & being dedicated to listening & downloading.

We speak this week with clinical social worker Carla Naumburg about her latest book, "You Are Not a Shitty Parent, How to Practice Self-Compassion and Give Yourself a Break,” a self-compassion primer and guide that came out this fall. Naumburg, based in Boston, talks about her own kids and family, using a welcome dose of humor and practical advice, hammering home the need to accept oneself and not feel guilty, because most parents are generally doing their best. She wants people to acknowledge how tough parenting can be, and to treat themselves with kindness, following through on various strategies in order to care for themselves. Naumburg offers some personal examples of how she practices self-compassion in her own life. She also talks about modern parenting as opposed to how our parents and grandparents parented, and how that's changed over the decades. "Just because things are really hard, doesn't mean I'm doing it wrong," said Naumburg. "It's just how life goes." The following transcript has been very lightly edited. The Times Will Tell: I'm here today with Carla Naumburg, a clinical social worker, writer and mother. She is the author of four books, and her writing has appeared all over the place, including The New York Times, The Washington Post, the Huffington Post, CNN, and she lives outside of Boston with her husband and two daughters. Hi, Carla. Carla Naumburg: Hi, Jessica. Carla's latest book is, "You are not a Shitty Parent." She writes with great clarity about the conundrum of parents who often feel that they are shitty parents, parents who aren't succeeding at caring for their kids in the way that they should. And I guess the first thing I wanted to talk about is we don't usually curse on The Times Will Tell. And I wanted to ask if you thought twice, three times, at all, about using the s-word, because, of course, it's something that you use throughout the book.  This is a great question. And for this book, there was really no question about using the word, because this book follows on the heels of my previous book, "How to Stop Losing Your Shit with Your Kids." So the decision was really about whether or not to use the s-word in that title. And I decided that for a few reasons. One, from a very pragmatic perspective, if you look at the New York Times bestseller list, there's a ton of books with profanity in the titles. It just seemed to be a moment in time when readers are really resonating with this kind of casual, everyday language, which is what I think a lot of us are craving right now. But also, when I wrote "How to Stop Losing Your Shit with Your Kids," I wanted to convey through the title that I'm not here to judge parents. I'm not some expert saying, I never do this and you should never do this, and I'm going to talk down to you and give you all this judgmental advice. I was trying to convey the sense of, like, you know, what if we were like two parents sitting down for a cup of coffee, just talking about how hard parenting is? So I wanted to use the language and the voice that I use all the time in my life, right? And I swear. And I'm funny. And so that's what I hope comes through in the book. Absolutely. It definitely does. And I think it's a funny kind of thing. I always think about my mother when I use profanity, which I do a lot, and I try not to use it with my kids, and then I say, really, what is stopping me? Now let's go back into other the main subject of the book, really, which is about self compassion for parents. Carla, it would be extremely helpful for you to define self compassion as you do in the book.  Yes. So the way I think about self compassion and I'm following on the work of giants in the field, like Kristen Neff and Christopher Germer and others who I just want to acknowledge have done amazing work in this area. It's really about noticing when you're suffering and instead of beating yourself up or feeling guilty, you're going down a shame spiral. It's about treating yourself with kindness and understanding. And so the three specific practices I look at in the book are once you've sort of noticed that you're suffering, which is a thing that many of us don't do right. We're so busy in our daily lives, we've got kids to pick up from school. And as you and I are talking right now, Jessica, there's like Thanksgiving to prepare for and we've got all the moving pieces and then doctors appointments and do we pay the bills and what's going on with the mother-in-law, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. We don't even notice when we're suffering, when we're in pain, either emotionally, physically, psychologically. So the first step is to just take a moment and kind of notice that. And then we can look at these three specific strategies I outlined in the book, which is connecting to the people we love, to the people who will be compassionate with us. So that moment of connection. Also curiosity, kind of getting interested in what's going on for us and what do we need and how can we take care of ourselves. And then also just kindness, really choosing not to beat ourselves up when we're struggling or suffering, and instead treating ourselves with the kindness that we would offer to a good friend or a loved one. So that's how I think about self compassion in the book. OK, let's talk about real life for a second. You are the mother of a 12-year-old and a 13-year-old. I am the mother of two 14-year-old boys. And I was thinking a lot about this from my own life, but I wanted to ask you, how does self compassion as a parent enter into your own life really of late? Like the last couple of weeks, the last day, the last month. Over the long term, self compassion changed everything about parenting for me. But let's so the last week is a great example. I live on the East Coast of the United States, and I had a very close family member in a medical emergency on the West Coast just last week. I flew home on a red eye two days ago. So at the very last minute, I had to rush to get a plane ticket, hop on a plane, kind of dump everything on my husband. But he's a fully involved parent, and he stepped up, and it was seamless. He's the primary caretaker of our children at this point, which is amazing. But I missed some things that my kids were doing that I wanted to be there for. I wasn't able to be there for my husband during a time when he needed some additional support, and I felt like I wasn't. My gut initial thought was, I am not enough. I am failing everyone. I'm failing my family on the West Coast because I wasn't there for them all along. Like, I chose to go away. I'm failing my family on the East Coast because I'm bailing on all these plans. And what I had to repeatedly say to myself and what I was able to say to myself because I've been practicing self compassion for so many years is life is really hard. I'm talking to a bunch of Jews. Why do I need to explain to them that life is hard? We all know life is hard, right? Life is so stinking hard, even on the good days, and then these things happen that just kind of blow everything up and make it almost intolerable. And I have to keep reminding myself that just because things are really hard doesn't mean I'm doing it wrong. And just because I'm missing these moments with my kids or I'm not being as present wherever as I would like to be, it doesn't mean there's anything wrong with me. It's just how life goes. And it's okay if this feels hard. It doesn't mean I'm a problem or what I'm doing is a problem. But I will tell you, just because a few years ago I didn't have that language at all, I didn't have that perspective, I would have thought, I screwed this up. This is all falling apart because I'm doing it wrong. If I planned better, if I thought I had better, if I had blah blah blah, whatever better, this wouldn't be this way, which is, by the way, total BS. That's not true. Like, crazy, awful things happen that are completely beyond our control. So self compassion really made the last week, which was a very hard week on many levels. It just made it a little bit easier and less stressful, and in this day and age, easier and less stressful in many cases. Is amazing, right? That's like the best we can hope for. So this past week my self compassion was on high practice recently. We think about our parents and how they dealt with these situations. We all know that life was different then. No seatbelts, there was no Netflix, there was no cable, there were no cell phones. Do you look at that generational difference for yourself and in terms of your writing when you think about all of this, do you think about us now compared to your parents, your grandparents, in terms of parenting, in terms of self compassion? Absolutely. And I think that keeping that bigger perspective in mind is so important because we humans, this is a very human dynamic, tend to think of our imperfections or our problems or our struggles as very personal. Like I am the cause of this when in fact sometimes it is, right? Sometimes it's a personal problem that really has to do with our very unique situation. But more often than not it's a societal dynamic, a societal cultural context that we are taking personal responsibility for. And so, you know, I was talking to my husband's grandmother, so my daughter's great grandmother who is going to be, God-willing, 100 in a couple of months and she's amazing. And I was trying to explain this book to her and she's very with it, right? I was trying to explain my book to her and she was like what are you talking about? The idea that parents would think of themselves as shitty parents and have this total shame cloud that we're walking around in was very foreign to her. And I think that's also true for to some degree to our parents generation. And it's not that they didn't care about parenting, of course they cared about parenting but they were getting a very different message. First of all, I think so much of our shame and blame of parents today comes from comparison, right? And people, humans have been comparing themselves to other people since time and memorial. But back when we were growing up, the parenting comparison happened primarily in our neighborhood. It was the person next door. And so yes, there were always the people who were richer and better resourced than us and there was always that mom who life looked so perfect and whatever. There was always somebody to compare yourself to but at least it was generally happening in the same context. Like you have the same options for school and you have the same snow days to figure out and you had all the same stuff whereas now we are comparing ourselves, thanks to social media and reality TV, we are comparing ourselves to literally every other person on the planet, and we're comparing ourselves to lies about their lives. So I got hooked on a reality show about some family with like 13 kids. It's like mom and dad and 13 or 14 kids. They have no help in the house. They have no help. They're homeschooling these children. And not once in like two seasons do you see the mom lose her shit, right? And at first I was like, oh my God, I can barely get my kids off to school, at the school I send them away to for like six or seven hours a day. And I only have two kids and I'm losing it. And then I had to step back and be like, oh, wait, this is not a reality show. It is labeled as reality, but it's, you know, it's actually TV, just TV. It's entertainment. And then we also see Gwen Paltrow. All of a sudden, we know how Gwen Paltrow parents. We know that. So this is a person with unlimited resources. Right. And I am comparing myself to what I think is her reality, but clearly not because I have no business knowing what Gwen Paltrow's reality is. But like, I am comparing myself to what I think is going on with her. And of course, I'm going to come up short. She has all this staff, right? I have two cats. They're not helpful. My husband is very helpful. That's true. I do have an extremely helpful husband. But I think that's part of just one example of the generational differences and why there are many more, but that's one example of why I think it's actually in some ways harder to be a parent now than perhaps it was when you and I were growing up. You write about the different inspirations that you have yourself. Meditation. I don't know if Buddhism is a personal one. Brene Brown, therapy. You wrote in Kveller about how the book is an exploration of Hillel's teachings. If you sort of break that all down, what really comes to the fore for you? What are some of these teachings that have really helped you personally and professionally in coming up with these concepts and moving yourself forward and writing this book?  So if we need the tagline about, like, my inspirations, I'm just a Jewish mother who overthinks everything, right? That's really what it boils down to. Overthinking is like, my favorite hobby. What I tend to think about when I'm looking for inspiration and I'm not a practicing Buddhist, but I think Buddhist psychology is some of the wisest stuff out there. It's really brilliant. But when I'm looking for inspiration. Here's what I'm looking for. I'm looking for ideas and practices that align with my values, some of which, many of which are drawn from Judaism. And I'm also looking for something that's practical, pragmatic, doable. Right? So I remember reading a parenting book years ago that was like, you should spend ten minutes a day alone with each of your kids. And at that point, I only have two daughters. It's not that many in the grand scheme of things, but they're only 20 months apart. And I think when I read that book, they were like, that's hard, right? And you have twins, what am I telling you for? But I think at that time, the girls were like, in preschool, and I'm thinking, what am I supposed to do? Like, lock one kid in her room and tell her I'm playing with the other kids? Like that advice. And I was like, I don't understand, because the girls are so close. And even now, if I said to my daughters, who are twelve and 14, I'm going to take one of you out for ten minutes and we're going to do something fun together, and the other one has to stay here and what, stare at your phone? I don't know. Like, it's bonkers, right? So I'm always looking for advice. Look, I love evidence-based advice. I love when there's research. And I also realize that the most important research we can do is in our own home, on our own family, trying to see if things actually work for us, because research is one important step. Evidence from the outside world is really important, but also, like, being real about what works for us. But I need advice that is pragmatic, that is doable, that is workable. I can handle it. It doesn't make my life harder. And also that aligns with my values. So that's really where I come from. But yes, Brene Brown is my favorite pop culture social worker. She's extremely wise and she writes a lot about sort of shame and vulnerability, and I think her stuff is really brilliant. Okay, take a step back for me into what made you decide to take your professional advice and knowledge and to write books. Self-help books and parenting books are great, and people sometimes need them. They need to sit down and be able to say, okay, who is going to be able to help me to see myself through this situation? And on the other hand, of course, sometimes you look at the pile of the shelf or the pile of self-help books, of parenting books, and you say, how am I going to take this advice and apply it into my life?  That is a brilliant question. And I share the same ambivalence about parenting books and parenting advice and self-help books and self-help advice as you do. On the one hand, I've read some parenting books that have been incredibly useful and helpful, and on the other hand, I've had more than my share of parenting advice that left me feeling overwhelmed and confused. And I probably would have been better served by going and sitting on my porch and reading a juicy romance novel and calming myself down so I could go back and be present with my kids. So I think it's a great question. Look, I have always wanted to write. I remember being like six years old and being in a diner with my grandfather and being like, Poppa, I'm definitely going to write a book because, you know, you're smart if you write a book. And he's probably thinking, yeah, there's a lot of morons who wrote books, but he said to me, you should definitely write books. So even before I understood why, it's always been a thing I've wanted to do, I picked college majors and I picked a master's program and I picked my doctor program because they all required a significant amount of writing because I love it. The writing has always been my way of exploring my own experience, and trying to get a handle on what the hell I'm doing. And so I started writing books when I became a parent. Not necessarily because I felt like I had the answers to give other people, but because this was my journey to finding the answers for myself and it was a journey of doing this work for myself. So in both "How to Stop Losing Your Shit with Your Kids" and "You Are Not a Shitty Parent" it really draws from a lot of work I did personally around mindfulness work and self compassion because after a lot of searching and experimenting that was what I found actually helped me be a calmer, more present, more focused parent. Because I struggle hugely with anxiety. This is a big part of my life and the anxiety impacts a lot of different parts of my parenting. And so I've developed these practices over the years that I kind of have to stay on top of so that I'm not an anxious, irritable mess with my kids. So that's just one example. But these really came from my own love of writing and my desire to share what I've learned with other people, but also in the writing process, I learned a lot about myself. And you've got the humor, of course, which does not hurt in a parenting self-help book. It's a very, very helpful part of it when you literally laugh out loud in this passage or another because you're saying, that's funny, and that is something that you, the reader, have experienced. If I couldn't laugh about parenting, I don't have anything left. Like, humor is in life and everything. My number one coping mechanism. And I will say that you might experience as Jessica, but my 14-year-old occasionally has no sense of humor whatsoever. She'll get it back. But for me, humor is, if we can't laugh at this, what are we going to do? It's so absurd. Does everyone stop you in the neighborhood, at the supermarket, at the pharmacy, and say, Carla, this is the situation I'm dealing with right now. What should I do? Do you get these questions all the time? I don't, actually. Thankfully, I do every once in a while. My family and I, before COVID we used to do this thing, you might remember, it was called going out to restaurants where you actually go into a building and someone else cooks for you and does all the dishes, and you just pay the money. Oh, my God. It's amazing. And every once in my family and I would be out, and somebody would, like, hear my name and be like, oh, you're that person. But no, people don't generally ask me for parenting advice, which is good, because my books aren't really about how to parent, right. They're about how to take care of yourself as a parent. So when people ask me something like, how do I get my kids to put their shoes on? I often say, like, Good luck, godspeed, and let me know when you figure it out, because that's not the kind of parenting advice I have. But I will say you know what? If you want to talk about parenting, let's grab a cup of coffee and sit down and laugh, cry into our mochas, because that's what I can do with you. Something that I really liked were your maps of compassion. Yeah, it's something that made me think a lot about how I take care of myself as a parent, how I take care of my partner, my husband as a fellow parent, friends as parents. I was curious if that was something that came later on in the process of researching and writing this, or if that was out there for you early on. You mean the crap maps? Yes, crap maps and compassion. I think that's something that came up for me in a conversation with someone once. What I was trying to explain was it was actually before I wrote this book, and I was thinking a lot about the ways in which we really treat ourselves so poorly when things go wrong, when we're feeling lost and confused in parenting and we don't know how to solve a problem or how to support our children. And we end up saying things like, god, I'm a shitty parent, I'm really screwing this up. And we sort of think everybody else knows how to handle this problem and I don't. And in that moment, I was seeing, what is the metaphor for this? I love thinking in metaphors. I think they're very useful, especially when you're talking about hard stuff. And I was imagining somebody who's out for a hike and they get lost and they're really confused. I have a whole little funny vignette about this in the book, and a park ranger comes up and hands them a map, and the map just says, you're lost and you suck. Right? Like, that's essentially what we're doing to ourselves and self compassion is when that whole script kind of gets flipped and we're having a hard moment. We're lost, we're confused. And the park ranger shows up at the map, and the map says, you're lost. It's okay that you're lost. This is a hard trail. Lots of people get lost. You'll figure this out and P. S you're a great parent, right? And so that's sort of the thing about self compassion, is it doesn't really give us the answers. It doesn't say to us, this is how to deal with your child's struggles in math class. This is, you know, the right choice to make when they've been diagnosed with ADHD or whatever it is. Self compassion doesn't do that. But self compassion calms us down, helps us kind of clear out all this really judgmental crappy thinking that we have so that we can focus, we can get a little clarity on the situation. We can think creatively about what to do. Right. If you're out for a hike and you're so stressed out about how did you get lost in what a terrible person and parent and partner you are, you can't think clearly about what to do next. You're not going to come up with any creative solutions. But when you're calmer, when you're not beating yourself up, there's a lot more sort of head space and heart space to get a handle on what to do next.

Lisa is joined by Carola Naumburg, who talks about her latest book,  You Are Not a Sh*tty Parent: How to Practice Self-Compassion and Give Yourself a Break.Book description: Of course you think you're doing a sh*tty job. Every parent does. It's pretty much a byproduct of our society, with its incessant demands coupled with the in-your-face competitiveness parents see on social media. Unfortunately, the pandemic only made things worse, as parents juggled the stresses of helping their kids navigate online schooling while they also had to work from home. All of which makes Carla Naumburg's new book utterly necessary. Author of How to Stop Losing Your Sh*t with Your Kids, with 149,000 copies in print, Naumburg delivers her message right up front—You Are Not a Sh*tty Parent—that all parents need to hear and believe in. And she does it with her singular understanding, relatably funny voice, and keen insights.You don't react calmly to every situation? That doesn't make you a sh*tty parent. You'd rather hide in the back of the closet than play dolls with your child (because you hate dolls)—nope, doesn't mean you're a sh*tty parent. The fact is, great parenting is not the same thing as perfect parenting. Great parenting starts with true self-compassion, the kind that means you don't judge yourself. Harnessing this self-compassion is the key to giving yourself a break and embracing your best qualities as a parent. There are four evidence-based elements of self-compassion—noticing, connection, curiosity, and compassion of course—and Naumburg gives tangible steps for how to use each to help parents reduce their anxiety, trust their instincts, move past the guilt and become a calmer, more confident parent. Which, in the end, benefits your child as much as you.

Most large organisations fail before they succeed, and the small failures are early warning signs that change is needed. All of our research is showing that to succeed in business as entrepreneurs and leaders in industry we must redefine failure. We need to get better at failing. We need to understand it, learn from it and share what we have learnt.  This podcast summarises our research into failure and the link with Psychological Safety, Resilience, Wellbeing, Impostor Syndrome and Belief.The episode also looks at the neuroscience behind the importance of errors and failure, and the importance of errors to prime the central nervous system to learn, and how frustration plays such an important part in creating our awareness that something needs to change. It will examine from a psychology perspective, why don't we learn failure and why we actively try to avoid it. Finally we share some tips to recommend how we can overcome our reluctance to face up to failure so that we embed the motivation to keep trying and learn from our mistakes.In this episode, Amanda is being interviewed by Tim Hepworth.

Today's podcast message goes to all children's champions out there. Sara is sharing ideas and resources for our own emotional and mental health. Difficult times will always be ahead of us even post pandemic and still, teachers are really hit the hardest. So, how are you all holding up emotionally and physically? When our minds are under stress, it is really difficult to focus. So in this episode, Sara will take you to a place of mindfulness, of simply paying attention to the experiences of paying attention. Let us support emotion management and reduce the stress that might have built up since the pandemic started. Every teacher should learn to do this for their own self-care practice. So we can give from a place of inner fulfillness, rather than depletion (from the article of Sharon Salzberg, Care for the Caregiver: How to Practice Self-Compassion). Make sure you tune in to this podcast, share it with colleagues, as we discover the inner secrets of being Every Child's Champion!Thank you so much for joining us on today's episode.

Self awareness questions of the day : Have you ever said the sentence "I shouldn't feel sad (or angry...) for x because others have it worse than me." ? Do you experience toxic gratitude ?

Kristine Klussman shares how to practice self-compassion through anger. Episode 1249: How to Practice Self-Compassion Through Anger by Kristine Klussman on Self Care & Emotional Connectedness Kristine Klussman specialized in Health Psychology (Behavioral Medicine) at Harvard Medical School, then founded and ran the Health Psychology program and post-doctoral training programs at California Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco. She found her work with cancer and cardiac patients inspiring, uplifiting, and humbling. She found so many of those going through life-threatening illness were - sometimes for the first time in their lives - absolutely clear what truly mattered to them: authenticity and connection. In 2016, she founded a non-profit to focus full-time on trying to understand, explain and teach what she now believes is the single most meaningful and rewarding aspect of our existence.

Heidi interviews Rev. Dr. Jane Simmons, the author of the book, You Can't Sleep Through Your Awakening: a combination of personal memoir, shared stories, psychological study, scientific learning, and spiritual discourse. Rev. Dr. Jane Simmons holds a doctoral degree in Theology from Holos University Graduate Seminary and is an ordained Unity minister. Since her ordination in 1999, Jane has ministered in four Unity churches in Canada and the United States as well as serving as the Teen Ministry Coordinator for Unity Worldwide Ministries. She is the 2020 recipient of Unity's Light of God Expressing Award. She has served as an associate professor at Holos University and is currently a member of adjunct faculty for Unity Worldwide Spiritual Institute, teaching credit classes in a virtual online format.   Jane is a co-founder of The Art of Quantum Living, with its transformational 21-day practice called The Quantum Living Process: which weaves together the latest research emerging from neurobiology, developmental psychology, and quantum science with the wisdom of the world's mystical traditions to offer a powerful path to personal evolution. She is also a powerful speaker, writer, workshop facilitator, trainer, and educator with a focus on virtual online learning. With a passion for heart-centered transformation, Jane is committed to helping bring forth a kinder, more compassionate world. As a facilitator for the Alternatives to Violence Project, Jane has worked in communities, schools, and prisons, assisting others in developing skills to manage conflict in order to help bring about a world that works for all. In this episode, we discuss: How polarized "us and them" thinking as a culture is also something that can also take place internally within each of us.  Learning to trust yourself through the power of loving-kindness and self-compassion opens the door to greater connection and healing for generations to come.  Mining the wisdom of the body- Our bodies hold wisdom and have a memory that can provide us clues about what may be going on for us emotionally.  How anxiety can show up as a vibration in the body and understanding how anxiety happens within the body and nervous system specifically. How we can come together to do the greater work of healing the world through our own individual awakening. So we can begin to hospice old outdated aspects of our present culture while midwifing a new kinder more compassionate world starting with ourselves.  Connect with Jane:  www.theartofquantumliving.com www.drjanesimmons.com Connect with Heidi:  IG: @heidisawyercoaching www.heidisawyercoaching.com

Self- Compassion means being warm and understanding toward ourselves when we suffer, fail, or feel inadequate, rather than ignoring our pain or punishing ourselves with self-criticism. Why do we believe we only deserve compassion when we do something good? We delve into this and how one can start to better their self-compassion practice!

What does self-compassion look like? Well, first let's define what is self compassion? Self-compassion means you are gentle, your kind, you're caring towards yourself, and you understand. You're not perfect but you're going to make mistake because you'll grow and learn as well. And why is self-compassion important? Because many people are able to extend compassion toward others but find it hard to extend the same compassion toward themselves. They may see self-compassion as an act of self-indulgence, but extending compassion toward oneself isn't an act of self-indulgence, selfishness, or self-pity. Well, in fact, self-compassion can help you relieve many mental health concerns such as anxiety or insecurity. In this episode, I've got 5 tips for you on to practice self-compassion and apply it for yourself. So definitely, stay tuned to the end. Highlights of this discussion: Forgiveness (2:31) Growth mindset (4:57) Gratitude (5:50) Sel-love (6:44)

This episode is about Self-compassion. Self-compassion is an internal resource that if we can develop it we can draw on it and use it. Tash is a clinical psychotherapist who believes that the relationship we have with ourselves and others is the essential ingredient to our emotional health, happiness and wellbeing. Tash reasons with me through sharing a passionate message about self-compassion, how to practice it, and how it can support connection and emotional wellbeing. Tash breaks down and explains what it means to look after yourself, what to do with emotions and to allow yourself to be. 

The first step to becoming a more compassionate leader is to look inwards. To be compassionate leaders, we must be compassionate people. To be more compassionate to others we must begin by being compassionate to ourselves.

In today's episode, I talk about something that I have never talked about on this podcast- self-compassion... and why there's no getting to life or business success without it.

Kristine Klussman shares how to practice self-compassion through anger. Episode 456: How to Practice Self-Compassion Through Anger by Kristine Klussman on Self Care & Emotional Connectedness Kristine Klussman specialized in Health Psychology (Behavioral Medicine) at Harvard Medical School, then founded and ran the Health Psychology program and post-doctoral training programs at California Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco. She found her work with cancer and cardiac patients inspiring, uplifiting, and humbling. She found so many of those going through life-threatening illness were - sometimes for the first time in their lives - absolutely clear what truly mattered to them: authenticity and connection. In 2016, she founded a non-profit to focus full-time on trying to understand, explain and teach what she now believes is the single most meaningful and rewarding aspect of our existence.
