In this series, Jan selects a word to focus on for each month, encouraging growth in a specific area, challenging herself and her audience. This year Jan will be focusing on the difficult words and topics we tend to tie to ourselves, offering insight and tools to manage or overcome these obstacles. This month, the focus is on boundaries. Jan shares insights from a transformative business/entrepreneurial conference she attended, "Survivor to CEO" which was created by friend of the pod Arci Grey. Jan reflects on the powerful connection between past trauma and the challenges faced by entrepreneurs, particularly women. Using Donna Thorell's book, "Ditch the Rules, Use the Tools, and Reclaim Your Life," as a guide, Jan delves into a crucial topic for healing: the power of boundaries. She explains why setting boundaries is an act of self-respect, not selfishness, and explores the science behind how they rewire the brain, lower stress, and foster healthier relationships. Jan offers relatable examples and reflective questions to help listeners identify where they need boundaries and find the courage to enforce them for a more peaceful and empowered life.Mentioned Resources:Survivor to C.E.O.

LightSpeed VT: https://www.lightspeedvt.com/ Dropping Bombs Podcast: https://www.droppingbombs.com/ Ever feel like the corporate machine is stealing your soul? In this hard-hitting Dropping Bombs episode, Glenn Llopis—leadership strategist and best-selling author—blows up the elite playbook that boxes people in and keeps teams running at –60%. Glenn shows why burnout and “quiet quitting” are symptoms, not causes—and why this is the most opportunistic time in history if you awaken your identity. You'll get the power moves to reclaim it: double down on your passion, audit your network for real reciprocity, and run personalization at scale—identity first (then skills), value creation over compliance, and roles built for enterprise-wide ownership. He hands you the lens and the tool: Seer / Sower / Grower / Sharer plus the free Workplace Serendipity Assessment to reveal how you naturally create opportunity.   Glenn gets real with stakes and stories: the janitor-to-executive rise behind a household snack phenomenon, the gut punch of feeling unworthy (and how to beat it), and the rule that decides your future—choices, not excuses. Glenn shows how to measure capacity (what people are truly capable of), see opportunities others miss, and build cultures where individuality accelerates execution instead of getting managed out. If you're done letting the system write your story, this is your wake-up call to break the box, seize the moment, and build your own playbook.

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. Watch the full episode here: https://youtu.be/VFahqrHtlFwSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.

And I think we've got to do something about that one.” – Tamsen Fadal★ “Women are thriving. They're bolder, smarter, wiser, they're more open about their lives, healthier in a lot of ways, they're in relationships that they want to be in versus relationships that they felt like they had to be in.  I look at this as a celebration in some ways.” – Tamsen Fadal★ “I really think that we have to start looking at this stage of life in a different way.  Women could celebrate this time in life, what I've been calling the bolden years instead of the golden years, instead of dreading these years.” – Tamsen Fadal★ “If you're dealing with the symptoms of perimenopause and you don't know what's going on, it can be so stressful. You're having heart problems. You feel like you're going crazy. You can't sleep, and now you can't function at work. I wanted women to be able to know what to do. It's a chaotic time that can feel confusing unless we simplify it.” – Tamsen Fadal★ “It is so nice to feel normal at this stage of life. It is just such a relief to realize not only how many of us there are, but how many solutions exist. We are not helpless and this is not inevitable.

The “grind” is often romanticized, yet there exists a wealth of joy, fulfillment, and accomplishment waiting for you beyond the brink of burnout.    Challenging your internal beliefs, especially the limiting ones, can feel daunting and overwhelming. Simply posing the question, “What else is possible?” provides a brief pause — just a moment is all it takes to reconnect with your core values and make intentional choices about how to engage in the present. Fortunately, there's a science-backed approach that can help shift the direction of your life.   In this episode of the BOLD Business Podcast, you'll discover that burnout is a stress disorder and learn how to move away from a zero-sum mentality. Instead, you'll focus on cultivating hypervigilance and awareness, understanding that the human body is designed to handle stress, which unfolds in stages with a beginning, middle, and end.   Jess Dewell engages with Scott Anderson, Burnout Breakthrough by Doubledare Coaching, to discuss the reality of burnout as an extension of stress that can be transformed. They explore why self-care alone is insufficient and may even exacerbate feelings of burnout, emphasizing that an internal mindset reset is the true key to overcoming burnout.   —-----------------   If you want to identify business bottlenecks, the necessary skills, the initial actions to take, the expected milestones, and the priorities for achieving growth, try the “Growth Framework Reset” approach. This will help you to keep learning and growing while working strategically on your business. -------------------- You can get in touch with Jess Dewell on Twitter,  LinkedIn or Red Direction website.

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.

Today's very special guest, Michael Alcée, is author of the book The Upside of OCD: Flight the Script to Reclaim Your Life. In our conversation, Michael explains what he means and does not mean when he talks about the "upside" of OCD; why Michael thinks all people with OCD start out as mini-existentialists and poets; and the key missing ingredient in many of our contemporary treatments for OCD. How can OCD be both meaningless and meaningful at the same time? What messages might OCD be trying to deliver to us, if we only know how to listen? All of this and more in today's episode.

I am delighted and honored to connect with Tamsen Fadal today. She is a New York Times bestselling author, an Emmy Award-winning journalist, a menopause advocate, a documentary filmmaker, and a content creator.  In our discussion, Tamsen explains why the anti-aging approach is outdated and potentially harmful, and how she advocates for a pro-aging or age-positive perspective instead.
