December 08, 2025 New Year Same You, Ideal Self vs. Real Self, Why Change is Hard by Dr. Farid Holakouee

Today, I interview Manya Gittel who lost her voice during a stroke and woke up to something far more unexpected than the crisis itself. She describes that moment as an inner awakening she didn't see coming, one that shifted her sense of who she was and how her voice lived inside her.Manya shares parts of her early life, shaped by her parents' history and the roles she learned to carry as a child. These patterns became so natural to her that she never questioned them, even as they influenced how she showed up in the world.What changed after the stroke is something she explains in a way that feels both surprising and deeply human. The way she describes that shift invites you to listen closely and wonder about the places where you too might be living from habit instead of truth.Today, Manya reflects on how that experience continues to shape her voice and her presence. Her story opens a rare conversation about authenticity, connection, and the moment a person realizes they have been further from themselves than they knew. It is an invitation to explore what happens when someone finally hears the voice they didn't know they lost.__________________Manya Gittel is a coach and trainer from South Africa who works with people around the world. Her background spans decades of facilitation, education, training programs, coaching, participatory theatre, and deep study of the Enneagram. She is known for helping people explore truth through voice, presence, and honest connection.Manya's work is rooted in meaningful engagement, both with oneself and with others. She brings a unique blend of insight and experience, shaped by training in both formal and informal settings and by the recognitions she has received for her commitment to personal growth and awareness.Recent life events have opened new layers in her understanding of authenticity and expression, and she now weaves those insights into her coaching.

If we try to live a new life without understanding our new identity, we're merely following a religion. Trying to live up to some do's and dont's. The bible does not present Christianity as just another religion; just an elevated sense of do's and dont's! It's a whole new relationship!

This week, we're pulling a good one from the vault… Welcome to Episode 191 where we dig into how real self-care means following through on what we need to do to take care of ourselves.  In this episode we dive deeper into the idea that TRUE self-care is when we make it real.  When we follow through on both holding the line on our boundaries and taking responsibility for what we have promised ourselves we would take care of. Self-care involves following through with actions that nourish your physical, emotional, and mental well-being. We talked last week about some of the good things and not so good things to have in our life.  If you haven't had a chance to listen to that yet you might want to do that first…and come join us back here when you're done so this episode will make more sense. When you commit to taking care of yourself, it means setting boundaries, saying no to things that drain you, prioritizing rest and relaxation, and making time for activities that bring you joy and fulfillment. Following through with these actions not only benefits your own well-being, but also supports your ability to be assertive and advocate for yourself in all areas of your life.   Key Elements: ·        Explore the some of the consequences of not following through on self-care ·        Identify how taking care of ourselves is the best way to feel more confident. ·        Identify ways to make it easier to commit and follow through.   You don't have to  prove anything  this holiday season – not your worth, not your patience, not your strength.   Get your FREE Boundaries Ebook here!

Today I'm joined by the brilliant Annalie Howling - a performance coach, trauma specialist and author whose story is honestly fascinating. She opens up about hitting complete burnout at 29, when life looked perfect from the outside but felt totally wrong on the inside. As she puts it, she wasn't intolerant to gluten… she was intolerant to her life.We talk about how childhood shame and perfectionism can follow us into adulthood, how that shows up in things like anxiety and people-pleasing, and what it really means to start showing up as your authentic self. It's such an open, powerful chat and I think a lot of you will really relate to this one.Find Annalie:Website: https://annaliehowling.com/Book: https://annaliehowling.com/unapologetic/Instagram: @annaliehowlingStay Connected with Hurt to Healing:Instagram: instagram.com/hurttohealingpodTikTok: tiktok.com/@hurttohealingpodLinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/hurt-to-healingSubstack: substack.com/@hurttohealingWebsite: hurttohealing.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

Confidence isn't a personality trait you're born with but a daily choice you make in the smallest moments.   Self-confidence doesn't always show up with fireworks. Sometimes it starts as a mindset shift so small no one else can hear it, a quiet decision to replace old self-talk with something kinder. Leslie Randolph sits down with Simone Knego to redefine what it really means to become confident women and raise confident teens, not through perfection or performance but through daily honesty and courage.   Simone's REAL framework (Respect yourself, Embrace failures, Ask for what you want, Live without limits) turns self-confidence into something you can build like a muscle. She shares stories from motherhood, adventure, and loss that reveal how mindset isn't just what you think, but how you recover, reset, and speak to yourself when things get hard.    If your inner voice became a loudspeaker, would it motivate you or tear you down? Whether you're working on your own self-confidence or trying to model it for someone watching, this episode is a reminder that confident women aren't born - they're built one thought, one ask, one brave moment at a time.   Episode Breakdown 00:00 Why Self-Confidence Matters for Women and Teens 02:23 Simone Knego's REAL Method for Building Confidence 07:45 How Self-Talk Shapes Your Mindset 09:02 Modeling Confidence for Children and Confident Teens 15:05 Climbing Kilimanjaro to Overcome Fear 20:08 Asking for Help and Breaking People-Pleasing Habits 26:39 Control-Alt-Delete Mindset Reset 32:06 Moving Forward After Setbacks and Self-Doubt 37:01 Daily Confidence Practices: Affirmations and Gratitude   Connect With Simone Knego: Visit Simone's website   Connect With Leslie Randolph: Help your teen cultivate confidence!

This week, I sat down with Minou Clark, CEO of RealSelf, to talk about leadership, culture, and why creativity is the secret weapon in business. Minou's journey is anything but traditional. From theater major to running digital growth at BuzzFeed, PopSugar, People, Yahoo, and Paris Hilton's 11:11 Media, before stepping into the CEO role at RealSelf.We cover entrepreneurship, digital strategy, and what it really means to lead with empathy. Minou shares how her theater background shaped her leadership style and built her emotional intelligence, and why she treats interns, CFOs, and board members exactly the same, holding radical transparency as her rule. She talks about rebranding RealSelf to modernize the experience while keeping its loyal community at the center, and why companies that resist change get left behind. We also dig into the gap between corporate excitement about AI and consumer distrust, and Minou's long-term vision for RealSelf beyond aesthetics to include wellness, nutrition, and mental health.If you're building a brand, leading a team, or just want to understand how empathy and bold change fuel real growth, this episode is packed with insights you can use. Listen now for lessons on leadership, digital growth, and why being authentic is the best strategy.

Send us a text On this deeply honest episode of Adulting With Autism, Donnie Summers—autistic healing practitioner, intuitive coach, and founder of Beyond Limits Healing—explains how his journey from severe depression and undiagnosed autism led him to discover the powerful gifts of intuition, sensitivity, and somatic release. Donnie shares actionable guidance on breaking emotional patterns, using self-compassion, and learning how to calm the nervous system through trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming practices. Listeners will learn how to distinguish real intuition from self-doubt, how to move past “fixing” themselves toward radical self-acceptance, and why traits like sensitivity and emotional intensity—long misunderstood in autism—are profound assets on the healing path. The episode explores practical steps for reparenting, honest journaling, mindful self-regulation, and turning vulnerability into personal power. Donnie offers validation, calm, and wisdom for anyone struggling with trauma, self-criticism, or the pressure to be exceptional in a neurotypical world.

Self-care isn't bubble baths, spa days, or a once-a-year vacation. True self-care is the daily, often uncomfortable work of living in alignment with your values, honoring your needs, and stepping into the person you aspire to be. In this episode of The Practice of Being Human, Marta shares what it means to “becoming her” — not chasing after some distant version of yourself, but stretching into the woman you already are. She unpacks how to tolerate discomfort, expand your capacity for growth, and root your self-care in presence, purpose, and authenticity.____________________________________________________________We are so glad you're here.

Send us a textWhat version of yourself do you bring to work? To family gatherings? To your closest relationships? For many of us, these questions reveal uncomfortable truths about the different masks we wear throughout our lives.We don't put on these masks with malicious intent. They emerge from our deepest fears—fear of rejection, fear of inadequacy, fear that our authentic selves simply won't be enough. But what begins as self-protection gradually transforms into self-imprisonment. The exhaustion of juggling different personas, remembering which version of yourself you've shown to whom, and constantly monitoring your own behavior creates a crushing weight that few can sustain.The most revealing insight comes when we examine what bothers us in others. That colleague whose arrogance drives you crazy? That friend whose neediness feels suffocating? These triggers often reflect disowned aspects of ourselves—mirrors we'd rather not look into. Taking personal responsibility means asking the harder question: "What's my part in this dynamic?" The reflection may be uncomfortable, but it's where true growth begins.Freedom arrives when we commit to authenticity. One face. One truth. Just you. People intuitively sense incongruence between what you say and who you truly are, even if they can't articulate exactly what feels "off." Consistency builds trust far more effectively than perfection ever could. This week, try having just one honest conversation—with your spouse, your boss, or perhaps most importantly, with yourself. Take off just one mask and notice how much easier it becomes to breathe.

In this episode of Fly to Freedom, I'm sharing the kind of self-love we don't often talk about — the kind that doesn't feel soft or sweet at first, but changes everything.This isn't about face masks or bubble baths. This is about choosing freedom over comfort. It's about acting like you matter, even when every voice in your head is telling you that you don't.We explore what it means to practice self-love as a behaviour — not a mood, not a vibe, and definitely not something you wait to feel. We'll talk about what rewiring the brain really looks like, why things feel fake before they feel real, and how your inner dialogue either builds or breaks down your self-belief.If you've ever thought:

Before I begin this episode, which covers quite a bit of diverse territory, I'd like to mention once again, the purpose of this podcast. Essentially, it is based on personal growth and everything that I share here serves the same purpose – to present some information for you to consider and see if it rings true. These aren't teachings, for I don't consider myself to be a teacher. I'm more of an experiencer walking a particular path and reporting back as I go.             So each episode is a bit like an idea buffet. If something looks good, put it on your plate and give it a try. If it doesn't appeal to you, just leave it alone and move on to the next dish. It reminds me of this big Chinese food buffet that our little family, my wife, our daughter and I, used to visit on our way to the shore when we would take a little vacation together. My wife and daughter have the same basic taste in foods which is somewhat Eastern with a tendency towards the exotic. I am a much more standard, pedestrian, American food type of guy. After we were seated, we would go through the buffet separately and when we got back to the table, my wife and daughter's plates looked basically the same. But mine looked like I had been to a completely different restaurant. The difference was striking.             It's the same thing here. We're all wired so differently. Remember no two sets of fingerprints are exactly the same, neither are two snowflakes, and certainly not two inner landscapes.  So, if you like what follows, enjoy yourself. And if it's not for you, just hit fast forward.             So, sticking with the food metaphor, here comes the meat and potatoes. As I've mentioned previously, a lot of times, I'll just be going along, living my day to day existence, and I'll come across an idea or a quote that takes me on an unexpected journey. Often, one of these little journeys will lead to another, and then to another – until I suddenly wind up in a slightly different inner framework, with a bunch of new insights in hand. And this happened to me quite recently.             As I mentioned in the last episode, I have been developing a form of AI to serve as a companion to the NeuroHarmonic Method. For now, we are calling it the NeruoGuide and part of my role in this process involves the two of us, me and NeuroGuide, having some extended conversations together. We don't have time to get into it here, but it's been quite a fascinating experience.             Now, I am absolutely swamped with work. I don't think I've ever been busier, so what do you think I did the other day. If you've come to know me to a certain degree, you can probably guess – I took three hours off and played some golf. And again, as I've mentioned several times, I am such a truly poor golfer that the idea of my spending any time with it at all, feels like a complete waste of time.             And it wasn't even fun. Let's just say it felt like eating at a smorgasbord of disappointment. My swing, if you want to call it that, is just a hack-job, and when I hit the ball, it looks like a mad scientist trying to kill his worst enemy with a hatchet. You get the picture.             Anyway, I get back to work and as part of my research, I tell the NeruoGuide about the whole thing, and it immediately says that play is much more important to the human psyche than we know and out of know-where, drops this quote from Einstein, "Play is the highest form of research."             Now that hit me on a couple of levels. First, the fact that it came from Einstein caught my attention, just because of the level of intelligence that he represents to me. The second thing was that any correlation between play and research seemed almost counter-intuitive. On the surface, they basically seem like complete opposites. But it was the third thing that really got me thinking. I immediately figured that the quote didn't really pertain to me because I don't do research, at least not any that I'm aware of. But as I thought about it, I felt I needed some more clarity, so I looked up the definition of the world “research,” and found a rather bland definition, which is that it is “the systematic investigation into and study of materials and sources in order to establish facts and reach new conclusions.”             It seemed like you couldn't come up with a more scientific explanation of the process than that. As I focused on the definition, it seemed to me that research had to have a purpose. Like scientists developing T-Cell therapy to find a cure for cancer. That type of thing.             Then, as it often happens when I am in this kind of a framework, I had a bit of a lightbulb moment and I suddenly got to something rather deep. When I looked at it in a certain way, it became clear to me that I actually am doing research. In fact I have been spending my whole life doing research, gathering all of the higher understandings that I can gather about life, with the goal of understanding my real purpose for being here, and ultimately fulfilling it.             Obviously, that's a lot of words. But for me, I realized quite some time ago that given the overall impermanence of everything, achieving the standard definitions of success in life just doesn't seem like enough. If everything—even the universe—will eventually end, then what's the point? And so, echoing a sentiment expressed by seekers across time, I always find myself asking: isn't there more to this than meets the eye? There has to be more to it than that. Now, what happened next might seem like a tangent, but it's not. We have a one-year-old granddaughter. When she arrived, my wife and I were inducted into the hallowed halls of grandparent heaven, and we've been blissfully intoxicated ever since. The joy and gratitude have blown the doors off both our outer and inner homes.             But along with the amazement of witnessing her living through her very first year, I began to reflect again on something I first learned about many years ago - the basic stages of life, which is something that we are all living through individually.             Let's go back to when and how I first encountered this idea. Following my graduation from college in 1971, I began a significant inner quest that has only gotten stronger over time. At one point, early in my explorations, I spent some time in India and one teacher was lecturing about certain Vedantic viewpoints and introduced the idea of the stages of life. He said that Stage One was early childhood, where all we think about is – my toys, my toys, my toys. In Stage Two, we reach puberty, and all we think about it is – my mate, my mate, my mate. Then we hit real adulthood, and all we think about for the rest of our life is – my worries, my worries, my worries. And that was the end of the first night's lecture.             Now I don't know about you, but for me, Part Three seemed a little depressing. At least Parts One and Two had some serious elements of fun to them. But worrying away the rest of your adult life didn't strike me as an appetizing main course. But the next night, he told us that there is a fourth stage, but many people, for one reason or another, never get to experience it. And that stage is the exploration of the Real Self, which is quite different from the artificial self. The artificial self goes through its fixations on my toys, my mate and my worries. But the authentic self is focused on my truth, my truth, my truth. And it always has been. And basically,  if you're lucky enough to focus on your authentic self as you continue to mature internally, something wonderful happens. All the impermanent things you've clung to begin to fall away. And this inner truth—your connection to the Infinite—remains steady. That connection, and your enjoyment of it, only grows over time. Here's another way of looking at it, which is one of my favorites. I heard this during a talk from Prem Rawat, who is a widely recognized global peace ambassador. I also consider him to be a real humorist, which is different from being a comedian. A comedian says funny things, but a humorist says things funny. Meaning that while a comedian's goal is to entertain people by making them laugh, a humorist's goal is to make truthful observations in a way that augments the ring of truth by adding the ring of wise laughter. It's a very powerful combination. Anyway, in describing the journey we are on, Prem likened it to traveling in a car. It's a long journey and as we go on, one thing after another starts to break down. This keeps happening until finally, the whole car breaks down and comes to a complete halt. But the good news is that it breaks down right in front of our home, which was our destination anyway. So, the fact that it all fell apart doesn't matter to us at all. Because we're home. Interesting view of impermanence… So now, let's circle back to my disappointing golf experience, and the insight from the  NeuroGuide that I should ponder Einstein's quote, “Play is the highest form of research.” Again, having these kinds of conversations is a key part of our development process., so I asked the NeuroGuide to reflect on the quote. It said, “In mentioning research, Einstein wasn't just talking about scientists in lab coats. He was pointing toward a deeper truth. Play brings curiosity, improvisation, experimentation. When you play, you're not just seeking pleasure. You are letting go of control and inviting insight. You're giving permission to explore without demanding a result. “The child who stacks blocks to see what will fall is not that different from the adult who experiments with new approaches to their awareness. They're both asking the same question: What if?”             And that's where we'll leave it today. What if I actually am a researcher? And what if letting go of control and inviting insight is the highest form of research? What if each time I shed a layer of the artificial self, I come closer to the Real Self, the one that keeps whispering: my truth, my truth, my truth? And what if this merging into the Real Self is the actual purpose of my existence? What if?             Let's just leave it there and as always, keep your eyes, mind and heart open, and let's get together in the next one.

It's not thinking you're better than other people.In fact, most people who exhibit that brand of self-confidence are actually over-compensating for their lack of confidence.Real self-confidence is a quiet, steady belief in yourself. It's knowing you can handle what life throws at you—even if you're afraid or if you fail. Self-confidence is built on trusting yourself, not just your abilities.Check out my free resources on marriage, parenting, home management, and faith life/mindset at janetquinlan.comFollow me on Instagram @janetquinlancoaching
