Podcasts about reclaim your life

In this episode of Healthy Waves, we dive into the profound theme of self-reclamation and inner happiness with bestselling author, podcast host, and transformational coach Irina Shehovsov. From overcoming trauma and emotional wounds to cultivating joy from within, Irina offers grounded insights and practical habits for anyone feeling stuck, unworthy, or lost. This conversation is not about chasing external validation—it's about coming home to yourself.   About the Guest:Irina Shehovsov is the founder of Reclaim Your Life, a speaker, and the host of two podcasts: Single Parent Success Stories and Reclaim Your Life. She's also the #1 international bestselling author of The Gift Inside. Irina helps women over 40 release toxic patterns, rediscover their identity, and rebuild a life of joy, worth, and peace. Through mindset, holistic healing, and spiritual tools like timeline therapy and NLP, she empowers others to believe healing is possible at any stage.   Key Takeaways: Self-reclamation starts with personal responsibility. You may not be at fault for past trauma, but healing begins when you own your present. Happiness is cultivated, not found. Daily practices like meditation, gratitude, forgiveness, and mindful presence create the foundation for joy. Healing isn't passive. Time helps only when combined with intentional action and the right environment. You are worthy now. Many emotional wounds stem from a sense of unworthiness—Irina's work helps rewrite that belief. Forgiveness is for you, not them. It frees you to live in the present, no longer chained to past pain. Surroundings matter. Healing is amplified by positive people, conscious media, and nourishing routines.   Connect with Irina Shehovsov: Website: https://www.irinashehovsov.com/ YouTube: Happiness Academy Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/re.claimyourlife/ Podcasts: Single Parent Success Stories and Reclaim Your Life Book: The Gift Inside on Amazon   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?DM on PodMatch: DM Me HereTune to all our 15 podcasts: Healthy Mind Podcast NetworkSubscribe to Newsletter: Join HereJoin Community: Be Part of the Tribe   Stay Tuned and Follow Us!YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@healthymind-healthylifeInstagram – https://www.instagram.com/healthyminds.podThreads – https://www.threads.net/@healthyminds.podFacebook – https://www.facebook.com/podcast.healthymindLinkedIn – Reema Chatterjee | Avik Chakraborty #podmatch #healthymind #healthymindbyavik #wellness #healingjourney #selfreclamation #innerpeace #forgiveness #worth

Jake Rademacher didn't wear the uniform, but the war still shaped his life. His two brothers served in Iraq, and that personal connection drove him to create the documentary Brothers at War. What started as a way to understand his siblings' experiences turned into something much bigger: a tool to help other veterans process their own stories. In this conversation, Jake shares how storytelling, film, and honest dialogue can open doors for healing. He talks about sitting in on veteran groups, watching men let go of years of silence, and seeing the impact of simply being heard. We also get into why journaling works, what post-traumatic growth really looks like, and how small acts of reflection can lead to big changes. There's a lot here for veterans who are working through their own transitions. Whether you're dealing with trauma, searching for purpose, or just trying to feel a little more understood, this episode is a reminder that you're not alone and that sharing your story can be part of the solution.

Remember January 1st? Yeah, Me Too.Remember that feeling? That fresh, crisp air on January 1st? It felt like just yesterday we stood before the mirror, whispering big promises, a solemn vow echoing in the quiet: "This would be the year." The year we'd finally stop just getting by and truly start living. The year we'd break those old, tired cycles that held us back, shake off the weight of past struggles, and step into the person we were always meant to be. We dreamt of building better habits, finding real peace with our pasts, and grabbing back our power—financially, mentally, emotionally. It wasn't just a New Year's resolution; it was a deep, personal commitment to ourselves.But then, the calendar kept turning, and reality hit. Hard. For far too many of us, the picture today looks strikingly different, a little disheartening, even. You might feel stuck in a familiar rut, still shrinking from opportunities that once sparked excitement. Maybe you're spiraling into unproductive thoughts that steal your peace, or desperately trying to numb that nagging inner ache with endless scrolling, mindless distractions, or the easy, seductive comfort of blaming someone else. There's this persistent, unsettling sense of repeating the same old patterns—the very ones you swore, with every fiber of your being, you'd outgrow. That immense, untapped potential you carry? It just seems to shrink under the crushing weight of fear, a constant fatigue that drains your will, and a frustrating forgetfulness that blurs those powerful intentions you started with.The Silent Bleed: When "Normal" Becomes a LieLet's be absolutely clear about one thing, right here, right now: you are not lazy. You are not broken. Those labels? They're toxic lies, insidious whispers designed to keep you small, to keep you from even trying. What's really happening is often tragically mislabeled as "bleeding out in the quiet… and calling it normal." It's a silent surrender, a slow, steady giving in, disguised as just "how things are." But it's a lie. It's a slow drain on your very life force, a constant negotiation with your true self that leaves you feeling depleted, empty, and utterly unfulfilled. It's time to call it what it is: a quiet crisis.I know this feeling, this gut-wrenching struggle between soaring dreams and the messy, often humbling, reality. This very year, my own unwavering focus was to build the "Fulfillment Coterie", a community I meticulously designed from the ground up to bring together people genuinely hungry for growth, for real transformation, for a life lived with deep purpose. The vision was grand, almost limitless, a vibrant tapestry woven with shared ambition and collective potential. But the execution, as it often does with big dreams, quickly revealed its brutal complexities, its unforgiving truths. I learned fast, through a series of humbling lessons and unexpected detours, that I simply couldn't do everything in the community myself. My energy was finite, my expertise specialized. We even tried extending job opportunities, a sincere effort to empower and build a collaborative force. But the "wrong" people—those who weren't truly aligned with our core values, who lacked the intrinsic drive, or who weren't genuinely ready to move with purpose—they just didn't budge. They stayed stagnant, unresponsive. It was a painful, yet ultimately necessary, realization. I found myself trying to make these misaligned individuals stay, trying to force a fit where none existed, clinging to an ideal rather than embracing the truth. It was only then that I finally grasped a fundamental truth: the community is not for everyone. This forced a humbling, yet liberating, journey back to the drawing board, a period of intense introspection and rigorous re-evaluation. It took almost six months of relentless trial and error, of iterating, refining, and sometimes tearing things down to rebuild, to truly define what we stood for, what our non-negotiables were, and precisely the kind of passionate, committed individuals we were genuinely trying to reach. This personal journey, fraught with its own unique challenges and hard-won breakthroughs, perfectly mirrored the broader struggle many face when their grand visions meet the messy, often unforgiving, reality of execution. It taught me that clarity of purpose and alignment of values aren't just buzzwords; they're everything.Full Version of this post and podcast Plus Templates for planning the next 6 months on Patreon This is a public episode.

Tamsen Fadal is an Emmy Award-winning journalist, author, filmmaker, and a fearless advocate for women in midlife. After three decades in the spotlight as a news anchor, she made a bold pivot, stepping away from the desk and into a movement. She’s the executive producer of the groundbreaking PBS documentary The M Factor: Shredding the Silence on Menopause, a film that has reached over a million women across 42 countries. And if that wasn’t enough, she’s just released her latest book, How to Menopause: Take Charge of Your Health, Reclaim Your Life, and Feel Even Better Than Before, which is shaping up to be the guidebook women have long been waiting for. This conversation explores the transformative journey of menopause, the importance of community, shared experiences, and the need for open discussions about women's health. We have a deep conversation on the challenges and opportunities that arise during midlife, the significance of reinvention, and the creation of supportive networks. Takeaways Menopause is often misunderstood and not openly discussed. The journey of menopause can be a shared experience among women. Creating a supportive community is essential for women going through menopause. The documentary 'The M Factor' aims to change the narrative around menopause. Celebrating midlife is crucial; it's not the end but a new beginning. Reinvention at midlife can be daunting but is also an opportunity for growth. Women should embrace their health and well-being during menopause. Mentorship and inspiration from other women can guide the journey. Open conversations about menopause can help break the stigma. The future of women's health discussions should include all stages of life.

What if the pain you're carrying…was never yours to begin with? In this powerful conversation, Rapid Transformational Therapist Kate Semeniuk shares how she helps people heal the deep subconscious beliefs formed in early childhood—beliefs that still shape our adult lives through anxiety, people-pleasing, burnout, and depression. Kate and I talk about the power of hypnotherapy, healing our inner child, and why we must stop saying “my anxiety” or “my depression.” This episode is a gift for anyone who's been stuck in patterns they don't understand and who's finally ready to come home to themselves.00:00 – Welcome + Intro 02:00 – Kate's “aha” moment that started her healing path 05:00 – The pain wasn't outside—it was within 07:20 – How childhood beliefs silently shape adult patterns 11:00 – Co-parenting and conscious communication with kids 15:00 – The power of explaining pain to children 21:00 – What a RTT session actually looks like 27:00 – The ego's grip and identity 30:00 – Depression and the loss of hope 35:00 – Becoming your own loving parent 40:00 – What we say after “I am” shapes our lives 46:00 – It's time to rewire your beliefs 50:00 – Gratitude, healing, and final thoughts

In this episode, psychologist and author of The Crucial Years Dr. Sheryl Ziegler joins me to shine a light on the unique needs and challenges of raising 6-12 year olds - a period often overlooked in parenting conversations, despite being a period of massive emotional, social, and biological development.   Together we explore:   Why puberty is starting younger than ever, what's driving this trend, and how stress and environment play a critical role. How to tell when your child's “teenage” behaviors (like slamming doors or talking back) are developmentally normal versus when they may be signaling something more. How to foster self-esteem and emotional regulation using Erik Erikson's psychosocial stages as a framework. What “industriousness” versus “inferiority” means for kids—and why understanding this distinction matters so much for healthy development. How parenting styles are being shaped by the internet, social norms, and cultural messaging—and how to stay grounded in what your individual child needs. Why the pandemic had a unique impact on kids in this age range and how that continues to show up in surprising ways. Actionable strategies for parents of middle-year kids, including emotional attunement, helping them name and understand nuanced feelings, and how to have brave conversations about tough topics.   With humor, warmth, and deep clinical insight, Dr. Ziegler offers a compassionate reminder that while the middle years may fly under the radar, they are foundational—and your presence during this time matters more than you think.     LEARN MORE ABOUT MY GUEST:

Unlocking Personal Growth: Insights from Michelle Gruening on Coaching, Success, and "Stop Doomscrolling"

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder isn't just a cluster of symptoms to manage. Like other mental health challenges, it can come with hidden advantages like the ability to be more creative and empathetic. The key is understanding - whether you have OCD or you work with someone who does. Michael Alcee, author of the book The Upside of OCD: Flip the Script to Reclaim Your Life, explains the misconceptions we have about OCD, what spiraling thoughts really feel like, and how this relates to the ability to achieve.

Hot flashes, brain fog, mood swings… sound familiar? If you've ever felt like menopause hijacked your body and left you wondering what the hell just happened (or concerned that it may in the years to come), you're not alone. But as this week's episode assures you, you're definitely not powerless. I'm talking with Tamsen Fadal, author of How to Menopause: Take Charge of Your Health, Reclaim Your Life, and Feel Even Better Than Before. Tamsen's on a mission to flip the script on how we talk about menopause, less quiet suffering and more hope and empowerment. You'll hear us talk about what your doctor probably isn't telling you, how to advocate for yourself in midlife, and why menopause isn't the end, it's a damn evolution. In fact, for me, it was the path to coming home to myself. What You'll Hear What surprised Tamsen most about women's experiences once she started speaking up about menopause (5:17) A crash course on when to get tested for menopause symptoms (hint: you don't have to wait until you're miserable) (6:45) The truth about hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and the myth that it causes breast cancer (10:24) How we can finally change the narrative around menopause (15:48) How partners and family members can step up or how to bring them into the conversation so they actually get it (19:22) The unexpected gifts that come with perimenopause and menopause (yes, there are some!) (22:09) Could hormones be the reason you suddenly don't give a shit anymore in midlife? Plus, why that shift can actually be the start of real freedom (23:24) The connection between menopause and big life changes, relationships, careers, identity shifts, and how to know if it's your hormones or your partner that's the problem (29:09) Resources: Join the How to Stop Feeling Like Shit 5-Day Challenge - We begin on April 28th!

Hey Friend, thank you for downloading the episode, my name is Arlina and Ill be your host. On April 23 I will be celebrating 31 years of continuous sobriety. Its always a time for reflection and as I look back, I want to share the top 3 things that have been key in maintaining my sobriety. The first is that I have made sobriety my number 1 priority. It comes before my husband, my job, and even my kids. I know that if I dont take care of my mental and emotional well being, that my sobriety could become vulnerable, and thats a risk Im just not willing to take. Theres an old saying that no matter how far down the road you go, youre still the same distance from the ditch. I am very clear that I cannot drink like a normal person, despite how long Ive been sober. Sobriety is the foundation of this life I love so much. Another component to my sobriety has been community. I have surrounded myself with other people who also have made sobriety their number 1 priority. Theres an idea called the contagion theory, that was developed by researchers at Harvard. It says we are the average of the 5 people we spend the most time with. We tend to adopt the beliefs and habits of the people we spend the most time with. And lastly, maybe most importantly is something I dont think I talk about enough, which is the role that spirituality plays in my life. Im pretty allergic to anything religious, so thats not what Im talking about. I mean no disrespect to religious people if that works for you. I just needed to come to an understanding of what it means to connect to a God of my understanding, which in short is universal law but also a power rooted in love. I have had spiritual experiences that were so profound, theres no other way to explain them. They actually happen so frequently in the recovery community we often refer to them as God Shots. They are like little reminders that we are not alone, and there is a greater power working in our loves. If you have had a spiritual experience that youd like to share, just leave a comment on the blog at odaatchat.com or you can DM me on Instagram at arlinaallen And as always, if you find yourself in need of support along your sobriety journey, please reach out to me to find out if sober coaching is right for you. Just visit soberlifeschool.com and book a no obligation call. Today I have a special guest, Andrea Seydel who is the author of Recovery Without Rock Bottom Reclaim Your life From Addictive Behavior. She is also the host of the super popular, Saving You Is Killing Me Podcast. Andrea shares how living with an addict led her to a very dark place of self-doubt, and shame that nearly cost her everything. I dont think we talk enough about how destructive addiction is for the family members, so today is an attempt to rectify that. And honestly, I dont think I know a single person in recovery who hasnt suffered from codependency to some degree so this will be a helpful episode for all involved. So without further delay, please enjoy this episode with Andrea. =J
