Podcasts about reclaiming

When you think about the Black American experience, soul food is interwoven throughout its fabric. It carries stories and traditions across generations, and marks memories shared with people you love. And through the years, its definition has evolved and even been misunderstood by those who don’t understand its significance. Today, we’re unpacking all of that with Sierra Reece. Sierra is a culinary creator and entrepreneur focused on Black American foodways, soul food, and African diaspora cuisine. We talked about what soul food really means, how she balances tradition with experimentation, and why food can be such a powerful tool for preserving culture and identity. About the Podcast The Therapy for Black Girls Podcast is a weekly conversation with Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, a licensed Psychologist in Atlanta, Georgia, about all things mental health, personal development, and all the small decisions we can make to become the best possible versions of ourselves.

In episode 250 of the Transition Drill Podcast, explore breaking free from toxic cultures and rewriting your identity in transition for veterans and first responders navigating the high stakes of civilian life. You'll hear Riley Gruppo on overcoming systemic isolation, a traumatic medical retirement, and the pressure to be perfect, and what it takes to reclaim your personal mission as an entrepreneur.Riley grew up in a chaotic military family, groomed for a life of service under intense pressure. Seeking her own path, she entered an Early Commissioning Program at Valley Forge Military Academy before finishing her degree at Pepperdine University. Driven by ego and a fierce desire to prove her critics wrong, she chose the infantry branch right as combat arms roles opened to women.Her time on active duty at Fort Benning was defined by physical grit and systemic hurdles. Riley faced isolating dynamics as a woman in a heavily male dominated space, but she outperformed expectations until a severe knee injury forced a trajectory change. She pivoted to lead an integrated training unit on Sand Hill, but the unrelenting demands of command left no space to process personal loss, including the sudden death of her grandmother.Ultimately, a medical retirement forced her out of the uniform. Riley stepped into the corporate world in survival mode, quickly recognizing that the toxic cultures she tolerated in uniform existed in civilian offices too. After recognizing her skills in strategic planning and operations were highly transferable, she made the bold choice to quit corporate life and build her own brand, The Standard.Today, she helps clients navigate pivotal career transitions using a framework focused on the mind, body, and mission. She is also a passionate advocate for veteran healthcare, partnering with the Aspen Elevation Institute to pioneer cutting edge treatments for traumatic brain injuries and PTSD. Riley proves that when you leave the military, the ultimate mission becomes taking care of yourself.CONNECT WITH THE PODCAST:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paulpantani/WEBSITE: https://www.transitiondrillpodcast.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulpantani/SIGN-UP FOR THE NEWSLETTER:https://transitiondrillpodcast.com/home#aboutQUESTIONS OR COMMENTS:paul@transitiondrillpodcast.comCHAPTERS00:00:00 - Intro: The Question That Opens Grief00:03:18 - Grandmother as the Anchor00:06:38 - Relearning How to Be Human00:08:38 - Groomed for the Infantry00:12:20 - Texas, Divorce, and Survival00:15:27 - Broken Homes, Servant Hearts00:21:19 - Good Memories Inside Chaos00:22:24 - Excellence Built on Fear00:25:24 - Living Alone Senior Year00:29:08 - Valley Forge and the Hard Way00:36:42 - Choosing Infantry00:38:00 - The Injury That Changed the Path00:44:18 - Pivoting Away From Infantry00:50:24 - The Cost Behind the Badge00:55:33 - Medically Retired, Ready to Leave00:58:09 - Seeing the Culture After Leaving01:03:30 - Isolation in Uniform01:09:30 - Women, Competition, and Change01:25:00 - Now the Mission Is You01:38:04 - Healing the Brain, Helping OthersSPONSORS:GRND Collective: Premium, veteran-owned sportswear built for those who show up, outwork the excuses, and give 100%.

A powerful conversation on sexuality, nervous system regulation, somatic healing, and why many midlife women lose connection to desire—not because they are broken, but because their bodies have adapted to stress and survival.In this deeply insightful episode, Katie sits down with Dr. Julie Merriman for a powerful conversation about desire, intimacy, nervous system regulation, and why so many women experience disconnection from sex and pleasure in midlife.Drawing from decades of clinical work with women, Dr. Julie explains that loss of desire is often not simply about hormones, aging, or relationship problems. Instead, it is frequently connected to chronic stress, burnout, nervous system overload, emotional labor, and the body adapting to years of survival mode.Together, Katie and Dr. Julie explore how many women become disconnected from their bodies over time—and how reclaiming desire requires more than mindset or performance-based solutions.This conversation offers a compassionate and deeply healing reframe:You are not broken. Your body adapted to survive.

Send us Fan MailHair loss can affect so much more than appearance.For many women, it impacts confidence, identity, self-image, and even the ability to fully show up in life, relationships, and business.In this conversation, Johanna Dalman shares a deeper perspective on female hair loss, the emotional challenges many women silently carry, and why hair loss is often connected to much more than just hair itself.We explore the connection between stress, wellbeing, confidence, and visibility — and why so many women feel unseen, isolated, or stuck in their journey.In this episode, we discuss:• The emotional toll of hair loss in women• Why many women suffer in silence• Confidence, identity, and self-worth• Stress, wellbeing, and the hair-growth connection• Natural approaches that support healthy hair growth• Feeling comfortable being seen again• Reclaiming confidence after hair lossIf you've ever struggled with hair loss, confidence, or feeling like you've lost a part of yourself, this conversation is for you.-HELP IS WITHIN YOUR REACH!Alopecia Angel is dedicated to those seeking a holistic, natural, and safe approach to healing Alopecia from the inside out!

In this episode, we sit down with Kristen Nagle: former NICU nurse turned whistleblower and founder of Reclaiming Birth. Her story is the arc of a system insider who couldn't unsee what she was a part of — a hospital culture that worships intervention, a profession that pathologizes the female body, and a machine that punishes the nurses who name it. We trace her hero's journey from the injections she administered that she now warns against, through public termination and media smears, to a betrayal letter from inside her own family. We explore the pivot from fighting freedom to creating it, the home birth that rewrote her relationship to her body, and a vulnerable, never-before-shared reckoning with her role in routine circumcision. The foundation of the world begins in the womb — and every act of self-trust flows from whether we claimed that moment or handed it away.(00:00) Slandered in the Media(00:32) Opening Conversation(01:42) Meet Kristen(02:42) Motherhood Sparks Awakening(06:44) Seeing Vaccine Harm in NICU(16:01) COVID Hospital Restrictions(20:39) Betrayal Becomes Calling(31:33) Reclaiming Birth at Home(37:31) How Hospitals Took Over(42:15) Peace Begins At Birth(45:34) Fathers In The Birth Space(52:47) Fear Culture Around Babies(56:11) Canada Vs US on Freedom(58:32) Reclaiming Birth Conference (Why In-Person Matters)(01:06:49) Circumcision (A Nurse's Perspective)(01:20:27) Reclaiming Birth EvolutionGuest LinksReclaiming Birth Conference [Discount code: HFTT15]WebsiteConnect with UsStart the Free 7-Day Self-Esteem ResetWatch Our EpisodesJoin our free Telegram communityJoin our membership Friends of the Truth

Send us Fan MailWomen's Power To Heal Mother Earth" (Season 4, The New Earth)Episode 227: Love is the Only Way by Maya Tiwari.This episode explores a profound cosmic opportunity for immediate healing and liberation from a simulated, ego-driven reality. Maya Tiwari guides listeners to disconnect from societal programming and reclaim their true, divine essence—the One Self—through the power of universal love, vigilant boundary-setting, and ritualistic forgiveness.Key Themes & Takeaways1. The Cosmic Juncture for HealingThe Astrological Catalyst: A rare blue moon in Sagittarius (at its apogee) aligns with the Central Sun, stars, and portals. This occurs in the Vedic star of Anuradha (victory through devotion), readying humanity for the "great Solar Flash."Immediate Healing: This unique opening in time offers a rapid opportunity to heal wounds, mend relationships, and align with cosmic energies, provided we cast aside doubt.2. The Illusion of the "Simulation" and the EgoThe Fabricated Reality: The physical world is described as an "algorithm of illusion" and a "strategized simulation" that feeds on negative existence and manipulation.The Invention of Ego: The ego fractures our spirit by defining us through human lack, striving, and suffering ("I am this, I am not enough"), rather than our true nature as pure Being (Atman, or the I Am).3. The "Remote Control" and Galactic InterventionDivine Intervention: For the first time in millennia, beneficent "Galactic Light Beings" are intervening to free Earth using supreme technology connected to the Central Sun.The Remote: Humanity has been handed a metaphorical "remote control" powered by crystalline light. To break free from the simulation's programming, we simply need to press "Stop" and plug into universal love.4. Reclaiming the One Self Through Love and VigilanceThe Unified Self: By turning off the programming, we reconnect with the "One Self"—a universal, unconditional love that connects all human beings.Diligent Authority: When old habits of the simulation (angst, guilt, judgment) creep back in, Tiwari advises shutting them down with fierce authority, refusing to let the simulation feed on our energy.5. Healing Through Ritual ForgivenessEffortless Forgiveness: As the heart opens, forgiveness flows naturally. Tiwari emphasizes forgiving ourselves for our deepest, unshared mistakes, viewing them as vital opportunities for growth and compassion.The Release Ritual: Listeners are encouraged to write down their sorrows, speak them aloud, call upon a divine witness (such as Archangel Michael or Mother Durga), and ceremoniously burn the paper using incense, sage, or camphor.Core Message: Earth is a pristine paradise. By refusing to be manipulated by a false, ego-driven matrix and choosing to activate our divine "remote control," we can effortlessly dissolve old suffering, forgive our pasts, and step into universal love.Support the showMay Peace Be Your Journey:Maya's approach transcends modern feminism by advocating for a holistic restoration of balance, moving beyond the fight for basic rights to reclaiming the innate power of the divine feminine, which includes procreation, forgiveness, nourishment, and cosmic creativity. She stresses the importance of kindness, inner stillness, and compassionate self-  tools for healing individuals and society. www.mayatiwari.comwww.facebook.com/mayatiwariahimsa.Buzzsprout.comMothermaya@gmail.comGet Maya's New Book: I Am  Shakti:https://www.collectiveinkbooks.com/o-books/our-books/I-am-shaktiAmazon.comBookshop.org

Send us Fan MailIn this bold and deeply honest episode of The Box & The Sky series, Keya McClain the Poet explores the emotional and societal policing of women's desire, confidence, sensuality, and self-expression.The Policing of Women's Desire, Confidence & Expression dives into the contradictions women — especially Black women — often face when embracing their femininity, sexuality, confidence, beauty, boundaries, and personal freedom in a world that simultaneously desires, critiques, judges, and attempts to control them.From respectability politics and inherited shame to double standards in dating, leadership, and visibility, Keya unpacks the emotional tension many women experience when simply trying to exist authentically in their bodies, energy, and expression.In this episode, Keya discusses:• Why women are often punished for confidence and self-expression• The contradictions surrounding femininity, sensuality, and desirability• How Black women are both hypersexualized and heavily judged• The emotional impact of respectability politics and societal expectations• Why authenticity often makes people uncomfortable• Reclaiming desire without shame or apology• The difference between expression and performance• Learning to honor your full humanity without fragmentationKeya also explores how many women have been conditioned to disconnect from their sensuality, softness, voice, confidence, or emotional truth in order to feel accepted, respected, or safe.This conversation is for the women who are tired of shrinking, hiding, suppressing, or apologizing for their confidence, beauty, intelligence, sensuality, emotional depth, or evolving identity.You do not have to fragment yourself to be respected.And your confidence does not make you less worthy of love, softness, depth, or dignity.Support the show

Most people assume being rich would solve almost every problem in life. More freedom. Less stress. More happiness. But psychologists who work with wealthy families say money—especially when people grow up with a lot of it—can create a surprising set of emotional and psychological problems that few outsiders ever see. Source: Dr. Stephen Berglas author of Reclaiming the Fire (https://amzn.to/3VjeRIS). Why do humans dream at all? Why does the brain create these intense experiences while we sleep? And why do dreams sometimes feel more emotionally real than waking life? Neurosurgeon and neuroscientist Dr. Rahul Jandial explains what modern science is discovering about the dreaming brain, including how dreams may help process emotion, simulate danger, strengthen memory, and shape mental health in ways we are only beginning to understand. He is author of This Is Why You Dream: What Your Sleeping Brain Reveals About Your Waking Life (https://amzn.to/3KmOE5N). Modern life sends a clear message: if you spend too much time alone, something must be wrong. But researchers studying solitude say that idea may be completely backward. Time alone—when chosen intentionally—can improve creativity, emotional resilience, self-awareness, and even relationships with other people. Psychologist Netta Weinstein joins me to explain why humans actually need periods of disconnection from others and why learning to be comfortably alone may be one of the healthiest skills modern people can develop. Netta directs the European Research Council's “Solitude: Alone but Resilient (SOAR)” project and is author of Solitude: The Science and Power of Being Alone (https://amzn.to/3wVA7eb). “Organic seafood” sounds healthy and environmentally friendly. But what does that label even mean when applied to fish and shellfish?

Join the next DADAWESOME ACCELERATOR coaching group - APPLY HERE SUMMARY Most men are getting lived by their lives instead of actually living them. In this conversation, Alan Briggs unpacks how a life of constant escape leaves us empty at the end of the day, and what it looks like to design something we can actually engage with instead. From Yes Days with your kids to preparing for the car ride home the way you'd prepare for a business meeting, Alan brings practical insight that will reshape how you show up as a dad this week. TAKEAWAYS ---The best dads aren't the ones with the most time. They're the ones who prepare for the small moments with the same intentionality they bring to work. ---A coming of age year for your son doesn't require waking up at 4 a.m. It just requires showing up consistently and inviting other trusted men to speak life into him. ---Celebrate who your kids actually are instead of trying to make them love what you love. Curiosity is the doorway to connection. ---We were built for both meaningful work and real rest. Without a healthy theology of both, we swing between burnout and apathy. ---The question that changes everything: What is the good life for you and your family three years from now? GUEST Alan Briggs is a coach, author, and adventurer based in Colorado Springs. He runs two and a half companies, including a coworking space, and spends his days helping leaders find a lighter, more sustainable way to live and work. He's the author of multiple books, including his latest resource on anti-burnout, and the host of his own podcast for leaders. Alan and his wife are raising four kids ranging from 12 to 23, including two adopted children. He loves the mountains, disc golf with his son, and learning to cheer for his kids in the worlds they love most. QUOTES "Most men are getting lived by their lives. They are not living their lives. They are letting choices make them. They are not making intentional choices." "I prepare for business meetings. Do I prepare that well for a date with my wife, a date with my daughter, a car ride? Almost always, no." "You don't have to be up at 4 a.m. with your kid. You don't have to do it every day. But do something that affirms you've got what it takes." "Celebrate exactly who they are and exactly what they love doing, instead of trying to make them love the things that you love doing." "We are not the sum of what we carry. Our identity and who we are loved by is so much more important than what we are as dads."

In this episode of Live Well, Earn Well, guest host Donna Lynn Price sits down with leadership expert Jimmy Burroughes, founder of JBL High Performance, to unpack what it really takes to lead without burning out. A former British Military officer turned corporate executive, Jimmy knows firsthand how complexity and constant firefighting destroy performance. After hitting his own spectacular burnout in 2017, he rebuilt his life and business around one central truth: high performance comes from simplification, not doing more. Jimmy shares his Simplify to Amplify methodology, how he helps leaders reclaim hours every week, and why a simple 15–20 minute weekly practice can literally change your brain, your performance, and your career trajectory. From "wizard brain vs lizard brain" to the "village fisherman" trap, this conversation is packed with practical ways to step out of survival mode and into strategic leadership — whether you're running a team of thousands or your own small business. If you've ever felt like you're sprinting on a hamster wheel, this episode will show you how to step off, think clearly, and focus on what actually moves the needle.    

Seattle-based therapist, author, and poet Sam Louie joins DJ Chuang to discuss his newly released workbook, Redefining Asian Shame: From Silence to Self-Acceptance — available now to download on Gumroad. (Listen for the 40% off discount code)Sam shares how the workbook gives the readers to engage an interactive process to move from Asian shame to a healthy acceptance of oneself.Sam explains his mind shift in how he clinically approaches shame, informed by the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model and the concept of "no bad parts." Rather than viewing shame as something to be excised or hated, Sam has come to see it as carrying an original protective purpose — one that, when understood, opens the door to real healing.See the show notes and transcript at https://erasingshame.com/reclaiming-redefining-shame-for-asian-americans/

Vulnerable sharings of 3 different paths: if you've felt the tension between belonging to an energy work lineage and honoring your direct experience - or wondered what would shift if you trusted your own authority - this conversation is an invitation to witness what's already trying to emerge. Here, three practitioners share a map of what becomes possible when we stop waiting for permission and start being true to what we already inherently sense. 5 discoveries listeners can make by the end of listening in:>>Why energetic integrity as a foundationalenergetic structural concept changes how we live, lead & serve>>Guru culture as a pattern, not a moral failure - guests share on how they internalised the belief that externalauthority validateed internal knowing - and what shifted when that belief dissolved.>>What Spiritual connection feels like in practise, when it's not filtered through someone else's framework>> The difference between Spiritual authority and Spiritualego and why we don't need to deplete ourselves in the name of "service" or "giving"Spirit-led Reiki Pathway: https:www.reikiredefined.com/spirit-led-reiki-pathway/Free community & Spirit-led learning portal: https://www.reikiredefined.com/free-community/My free updates straight to your inbox: https://reiki-redefined.kit.com/6629991732You'll find me most on Tiktok @reikiredefined

The old system is falling apart — and more people are beginning to realize they were never truly in control of their money, their data, or their future. In this powerful conversation, Michael Jaco is joined by Sacha Stone, Joe Swamies, and Johnny Chomse to discuss the growing movement toward financial sovereignty, decentralized systems, self-custody, and reclaiming personal freedom in a rapidly changing world. For generations, people were conditioned to trust centralized institutions — banks, governments, corporations, and financial gatekeepers — while slowly surrendering ownership over their assets, privacy, and independence. But according to this panel, that old model is now beginning to fracture under the weight of debt, inflation, surveillance, corruption, and institutional collapse. This episode centers around one major idea:

What happens when you spend so much time being "reliable" that you forget how to be meaningful?   In this third installment of Reports from the Creative Closet, I'm exploring the "Be Good" trap. We often learn very early that being predictable and agreeable is safer than being fully alive, but that safety comes at a high price.   I discuss the Traffic Rule Covenant—a look at how we use rules to reduce uncertainty, and what happens when we stop treating those rules as tools and start treating them as our identity. We'll explore the "quiet grief" of adulting, the friction of being "manageable" in professional environments, and why your "rough edges" are actually the parts of you the world needs most.   I'm Nancy Norbeck, and I'm your Messy Muse Mentor. I help people feel alive again through creativity, curiosity, and play.   In this episode, I discuss: The Social Survival Instinct: Why we'll do anything to avoid being "thrown out" of the community. The Traffic Light Metaphor: Understanding rules as tools for safety rather than definitions of self. The Reliability Tax: Why professional "manageability" often requires us to override our internal signals. The Adulting Lie: Why being a "grown-up" shouldn't require you to abandon your curiosity and play. If you're tired of thinking about answering a creative call but never actually doing it, come join me for an hour and start feeling like yourself again. The Follow Your Curiosity Creativity Circle is a safe, welcoming, and encouraging environment where we send the shoulds and inner critics off to summer camp where they're kept busy rather than getting in our way.

While men secure multi-million dollar business deals in between holes on the golf course and shake hands over top-shelf scotch and imported cigars in the private gentlemen's club... You're shamed for securing thousands...millions of dollars...working from your bed, from a VIP day in luxe hotel lobby, from a bath house or nail appointment, from a private rooftop party, from a Zoom call where your baby is hanging off your boob as a client says "YES!" in your DM's.  All because you're a woman who dared to mix business with pleasure. Get paid from pleasure. Network and secure connections, deals, clients, and investors (or serve your clients) in locations, experiences, and ways that are drenched in pleasure, play, luxury, leisure.  Why are men allowed to mix business with pleasure and it's considered standard business practice and professional...whereas, women are slut shamed, called a whore, and labeled unprofessional, lazy, and inappropriate? Why is it ok when men do it, but not ok when women do it?  That's the EXACT question at the center of this episode. And what I reveal will change how you view women, sex, money, and business. Women were taught to see pleasure as irresponsible, distracting, and unserious…while entire male power structures were built inside luxury, leisure, exclusivity, and indulgence. This episode is an audio lesson pulled from my 14-week program, House of the Courtesan, which is included if you sign up for my 3-month 1:1 May only offer, Harlot...or my year-long devotional mentorship, Courtesan's Lineage (with a VIP wine bath weekend in Chicago included).

Do you find yourself struggling to get the most out of your day, even with all the tools and apps available? In this episode, we explore human-centered approaches to productivity that help you work intentionally, navigate your tasks, and maintain clarity and focus throughout your day.         We dive into key strategies that enhance how you organize your work, manage energy, and interact with other humans. You'll hear actionable insights for making intentional decisions about tasks, prioritizing what matters, and using your natural attention patterns to work smarter. These approaches highlight how human-centered methods complement technology, giving you more sustainable results.                            Get full show notes and more information here: https://thejoyfulpractice.com/262           Click here to grab my procrastination protocol checklist: https://mailchi.mp/0c249b28750c/procrastination_protocol            Click here to grab my time management podcast roadmap: https://mailchi.mp/d267dabde299/time-management-lawyers-podcast-roadmap

In this episode of 1819 News: The Podcast, Bryan Dawson sits down with Aaron Miller, founder of the Institute for Christian Statecraft, for a deep conversation on Christianity, politics, leadership, and the future of Western civilization. They discuss what “Christian statecraft” actually means, why Christians can't retreat from politics, the importance of building generational inheritance, and how strong Christian leadership can reclaim culture and institutions. The conversation also explores Rhodesia, the failures of modern conservatism, the rise of Christian nationalism, and why young men are searching for purpose, mission, and truth in an increasingly hostile culture. If you've ever wondered how faith should shape politics—and why the future of America may depend on it—this episode is for you.

In this episode, Manoush Zomorodi talks about tiny movements and their massive impact in reclaiming your energy in the digital age. Her new book, The Body Electric: The Hidden Health Costs of the Digital Age and New Science to Reclaim Your Well-Being, explores the hidden health costs of sedentary, screen-heavy lifestyles and shares research showing that just five minutes of gentle movement every 30 minutes can significantly improve blood sugar, blood pressure, mood, and focus. They discuss workplace culture's resistance to movement breaks, the body-brain connection, and practical strategies for building sustainable habits. Manoush also emphasizes that small, consistent changes can yield transformative results, making better health accessible even within demanding modern work environments.

What does the Bible actually mean by justice? And how should Christians think about "social justice" in today's cultural climate? In this episode of Truth Changes Everything, we sit down with Dr. Christina Crenshaw to explore why justice has become such a defining issue for Gen Z and how Christians can pursue justice in a way that is rooted in Scripture rather than shifting cultural ideologies. Drawing from her book Redeeming Justice: Reclaiming God's Vision for Doing Good in the World, Christina explains the difference between biblical justice and modern social justice, why worldview matters, and how the gospel transforms the way Christians engage brokenness in the world. Together we discuss: *Why justice has become central to Gen Z identit *The difference between biblical justice and social justice *Worldview assumptions behind modern activism *Grace-based justice vs. guilt-driven activism *How Jesus redefined justice *What biblical justice looks like for students today Dr. Christina Crenshaw is an Assistant Professor at Arizona Christian University and a Fellow with its Cultural Research Center. With more than twenty years in Christian education, she has taught widely in leadership, spiritual formation, literature, and human trafficking prevention. She is the author of Redeeming Justice: Reclaiming God's Vision for Doing Good in the World.

What's actually in your food, and who's protecting the companies that put it there?I sit down with Johanna Hellrigl, chef, restaurateur, board member of the Environmental Working Group, and founder of Ama, the mission-driven Northern Italian restaurant four blocks from the US Capitol, to talk about what's really happening in our food system, why your cookware matters as much as your ingredients, and how a woman who grew up in a Michelin-quality kitchen ended up fighting pesticide immunity bills and plastic migration in the same breath.This conversation goes deeper than clean eating. Johanna walks through the specific decisions she makes every day, from the containers in her kitchen to the farms that grow her tomatoes, and explains why the real model for healthy eating has been sitting in Italian kitchens for centuries. She is building a case study that nourishing food, done with integrity, can also be a viable business. If you have ever felt overwhelmed by the food system or paralyzed by conflicting information, this episode gives you a clear-headed, practical place to start.What we explore:- How heat, fat, acid, and time create the conditions for plastic and chemicals to migrate directly into your food.- Why 99% of food chemicals enter the US supply through a regulatory loophole that bypasses proper safety review.- What rebuilding your gut microbiome actually requires, and why what happens in your gut controls far more than most people realize.- How Johanna runs a restaurant rooted in love without sacrificing standards, consistency, or accountability.- Why voting with your dollars and contacting your representatives are two of the most direct actions you can take right now.About Johanna Hellrigl:Johanna Hellrigl is a chef, restaurateur, and culinary advocate redefining what restaurants can stand for. She is the chef-owner of Ama, an award-winning Northern Italian restaurant in Washington, DC, named a James Beard Foundation semifinalist for Best Chef Mid-Atlantic in 2026 and recognized by Gambero Rosso for authenticity. Before opening Ama, she spent years in international democracy-building work across 61 countries, an experience that deepened her belief that food is one of the most powerful tools for connection and change. She sits on the board of the Environmental Working Group and works with the Plastic Pollution Coalition, bringing the same rigor she applies in her kitchen to the fight for a safer, more transparent food system.Connect with Johanna Hellrigl:Instagram (Chef Johanna): https://www.instagram.com/chefjohannahellrigl/Instagram (Ama Restaurant): https://www.instagram.com/amarestaurant.bar/Website: https://amarestaurant.barTimestamps00:00 Intro01:00 Growing Up in a Michelin Kitchen05:08 How 61 Countries Brought Her Back to Food08:00 Reclaiming the Family Meal13:17 Pesticide Loopholes and Who Pays the Price20:12 Finding Common Ground on Food Policy29:00 Plastic, Cookware, and Cutting Board Basics37:40 Meal Prep That Actually Works43:40 Why She Opened Ama56:23 Love, Standards, and Consistency in the Kitchen01:01:06 What's Really Inside a Plate of Pasta01:08:33 Healing the Gut After Antibiotic Overload01:15:39 EWG, Plastic Pollution Coalition, and How to Get Loud–This episode is sponsored by:RITUAL: So sit back and raise a glass to your new evening Ritual with Magnesium+.

Palestinian architect and artist Dima Srouji explores the systematic displacement of Palestinian material culture and the liberation lab working to bring it home. For over a century, archaeology in Palestine has been weaponized, used as a tool for land grabs and the erasure of contemporary identity. From ancient glass vessels held in Western museums to human remains stored in university basements, the physical history of Palestine has been excavated, categorized, and displaced. Dima discusses her work in restitching these archives through art and collaboration. By working with multi-generational artisans like the Twam family, who still possess the ancient know-how of glassblowing, she creates ghost objects that challenge the colonial narrative of a dead past.   00:00 Introduction 01:32 Architectural Education & the Spiritual Connection to the Land 07:30 The Liberation Lab 09:47 Ghost Objects: Restitching Material Heritage Through Palestinian Glass 12:28 The History of Colonial Archaeological Excavations 15:44 Challenging Museum Narratives 18:03 The Twam Family Workshop: Four Generations of Glassblowing in Jaba 21:28 Ancient History of Levantine Glass Fabrication 25:50 The Weaponization of Archaeology 29:47 Sebastia vs. the City of David 32:32 Saving Sebastia: Experimental Film as an Exercise in Creative Diplomacy 36:01 Reclaiming the Displaced Material Culture of Gaza 39:34 Excavated Human Remains 42:36 Rituals of Return 44:01 The Restorative Power of Broken Glass 48:43 Rememberment: A Form of Restitution 50:24 The Archive of the Palestine Exploration Fund 56:00 Future Projects and the Cosmic Mediterranean   Dima is an architect, artist, and researcher interested in the ground, objects, displacement, restitution, forgeries, and living archives. Dima leads the MA City Design studio focused on archaeological sites in Palestine as sites of urban struggle. Her practice explores the power of the ground, its strata, and its artefacts in revealing silenced narratives and embedded intergenerational memories. Dima holds an M.Arch from the Yale School of Architecture and a B. Arch (Hons) from Kingston School of Art. She founded Hollow Forms, a glass blowing project with the Twam family in Jaba', Palestine in 2016. She will be Jameel Fellow at the Victoria & Albert Museum in 2022.   Connect with Dima Srouji

If you have ever felt the ceiling in your practice — or lived the gap in pregnancy loss support yourself — The Missing Piece is a free three day masterclass where we name what traditional grief support has been missing and build the framework bereaved mothers actually deserve. Starts 1st June - Join HERE What if your menstrual cycle had been trying to tell you something for years, and no one ever taught you how to listen? In this episode, Sharna sits down with Emma Goff, certified fertility awareness educator, miscarriage doula, and host of the Cyclical Doula Podcast. Emma works at the intersection of cycle literacy, body trust, and reproductive loss, and this conversation is one of the most practically empowering episodes we've recorded. Emma shares her own journey into this work — including growing up as the child of a mother who experienced multiple pregnancy losses — and how that shaped the deeply attuned, cyclical support she now offers women navigating fertility, loss, and everything in between. In this episode we cover: Why your menstrual cycle is a vital sign — and what it might be telling you about your reproductive health right now The impact of long-term hormonal birth control on ovulation and cycle health — and what "coming back online" actually looks like What to expect from your body after pregnancy loss (including the often-overlooked postpartum experience that follows every loss) How to begin tracking your cycle after loss using cervical fluid and basal body temperature — and why this can be profoundly empowering Why that first bleed after loss doesn't have to blindside you — and how cycle awareness can help you prepare emotionally and physically The fertility window, subsequent pregnancy anxiety, and trusting your body to show you when it's ready How Emma walks beside her clients through pregnancy, loss, and beyond — as a cyclical doula, not just a birth professional Using fertility awareness methods to avoid pregnancy after loss without returning to hormonal contraception This episode is for every woman who was handed a pill and never once asked how her cycle actually worked. It's for the woman who felt something was wrong for years and was told she was fine. And it's for the woman standing on the other side of loss, wondering how to find her way back to her body.

Send us Fan MailWhat happens when a 33-year McKinsey career ends on Friday — and you're on an ice wall by Saturday afternoon?Tom French, author of The Gap Years: Climbing, Skiing, and the Journey Back, joins us to talk about trading his corporate corner office for crampons, summiting Everest under a full moon at 2:15 AM, and why it's never too late to reclaim the passions of your younger years.Tom's story begins with a childhood shaped by legendary mountaineer Willi Unsoeld — the first man to climb Everest's West Ridge — who literally taught Tom to climb at age eight. Decades later, after raising a family and building an elite business career, Tom didn't quietly retire. He launched a gap year that stretched into three and a half extraordinary years of ice climbing, cross-country ski marathons, and two Everest expeditions.We dig into his gripping turnaround at 26,000 feet on his first summit attempt, the remote Makalu Barun approach he took on his second, and what the emotional release at base camp — not the summit — truly taught him about achievement.If you've ever felt too busy, too old, or too settled to chase a dream, this episode is for you.Episode Links:Tom on InstagramTom's WebsiteBuy a copy of The Gap YearsThis episode was Produced by Jordyn Smith, follow her on Instagram @jordyn.journeysFollow us on Instagram, @HikesandmicsThis episode's music was created by Ketsa, follow him on Instagram @Ketsamusic AllTrails+I'm excited to share that I'm now a Trailheads Ambassador for AllTrails+!

Here's a number that should grab your attention: $175 billion. That's the estimated amount in tariff refunds the U.S. government may owe American businesses. Neil Twa, your host on The High Voltage Business Builders Podcast, breaks down how Amazon sellers can reclaim their share. With the CBP's Claims and Processing Engine (CAPE) now accepting refund requests, the opportunity is ripe. Whether you're a seller just starting out or managing a $1M+/month operation, understanding the mechanics of this refund process is crucial. Neil paints two pictures: one of a seller doing $10K/month and another at $100K/month. The same opportunity lands differently based on your scale. With 56,000 importers already registered, many Amazon sellers who qualify haven't filed yet. Neil lays out three actionable moves: start by pulling your import records from 2018-2020.

This episode is brought to you by Ancient & Brave, Strong Coffee Company and Audible. What if your anxiety, exhaustion, gut issues, insomnia, chronic tension, or even emotional numbness weren't random… but your body trying to communicate unresolved stress and trauma? Somatic healing expert and When the Body Speaks author Liz Tenuto—better known online as "The Workout Witch"—joiins us to unpack how trauma gets stored in the nervous system and why so many people stay stuck even after years of therapy, self-help, and "doing all the right things."

Have you ever lost a whole afternoon to a conversation that ended three days ago? Picking it apart, wondering what the other person actually meant, mentally rehearsing what you should have said. There is a name for what your brain is doing. ⁠It is called rumination, and according to research from Yale, it is the single most damaging mental habit science can measure⁠. In this episode, I sit down with Donna Jackson Nakazawa, the science journalist who has spent decades translating cutting-edge neuroscience into language regular humans can actually use. Her new book Mind Drama (out this week) is the most useful explanation I have read of what is actually happening in your brain when you cannot stop replaying a conversation, and what the science says you can do about it. Donna and I get into the survival biology behind your overthinking, the unexpected link between early relationships and adult thought patterns, and her real-time interruption tool. She walks me through it live, with my own ruminative mind as the example. It got pretty real. In This Episode The four-step framework Donna walked me through live, in real time, while I was actually overthinking something (it interrupts a spiral in under a minute) Why your brain creates these loops in the first place, and the evolutionary reason it cannot just stop on command The hidden link between your earliest relationships and the thought patterns you carry into adulthood The word for what you have been calling overthinking, and why nearly a third of adults have never heard it How rumination shows up at work, and the moment I realized I was doing it about my own business while we were recording The Yale research that names rumination as the biggest single predictor of depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and even cognitive decline What science says does not work for overthinking (and why willpower keeps failing you) The reframe that changes everything: your rumination is a signal fire from your past, not a character flaw Why This Matters This episode is for anyone who has ever lost a whole day to a conversation that already happened. The smart, accomplished, self-aware woman who has read every book about mindset and still finds herself staring at the ceiling at 2 AM. The friend who knows logically that the email did not mean what she thinks it means, and who is on her seventh draft of a reply anyway. If you have ever caught yourself in a loop and thought, what is wrong with me, this conversation will start to answer that question. Spoiler: nothing is wrong with you. Episode Breakdown 00:00 The Mental Spiral You Can't Stop 03:51 What Rumination Actually Is 06:06 Is Overthinking a Symptom of Anxiety? 08:35 Why Your Brain Won't Let It Go: A Survival Response Gone Rogue 12:01 Inside the Default Mode Network 18:39 How Overthinking Shows Up at Work and in Your Relationships 22:22 The MIST Framework: How to Stop Overthinking in Real Time 38:53 The Old Story Underneath the Spiral 45:57 Reclaiming the Voice Your Rumination Has Been Hiding 55:42 When You Need a Real Person, Not Just a Strategy Resources Take the ⁠What's Holding You Back?

Here is what I want you to take away from this conversation: your brain getting stuck in a loop is not a character flaw. It is a real neural pattern with real roots, and it is genuinely changeable.

In this episode, I'm joined by Bridgett Blood for an honest conversation about sexuality, purity culture, shame, and sacred desire.For many women, conversations around purity were shaped more by fear, performance, and rigid rules than true wholeness and intimacy with God.

Episode Overview In this episode, Michael D. Levitt sits down with John Fairclough to explore why high-performing leaders often reach a point where success no longer feels aligned. The conversation focuses on decision-making patterns, identity drift, and how leaders can regain clarity through a personal operating system built on accountability, alignment, and self-leadership. The Hidden Challenge: Success Without Satisfaction Many leaders reach a point where: They have achieved career success They are recognized for their performance Yet something feels off This is not a performance issue. It is an alignment issue. John highlights that leaders often lose connection to: Their identity Their values Their original purpose This creates what can be described as identity drift Why Leaders Lose Their Ability to Decide Over time, leaders develop patterns: Default responses to pressure Repeated decision behaviors Coping mechanisms tied to past experiences These patterns: Become automatic Limit independent thinking Reduce decision clarity The problem is not the existence of patterns. It is the lack of awareness of them. Expanding Decision Capacity, Not Eliminating Fear A common mistake in leadership development: Trying to remove fear. John reframes this: Fear is normal Coping is normal Pressure is constant The goal is to: Expand your comfort zone Increase your range of response Maintain autonomy in decision-making This is how leaders regain control. Self-Leadership Comes Before Leadership Michael reinforces a foundational principle: You cannot lead others effectively if you cannot lead yourself. Common breakdowns: Over-reliance on past solutions Overuse of familiar “tools” Lack of reflection on effectiveness Effective leadership requires: Awareness Adjustment Discipline Accountability Creates Freedom One of the strongest themes in the conversation: Accountability is not restriction. It is freedom. When leaders: Take ownership of decisions Accept outcomes without deflection They gain: Clarity Confidence Control Avoiding accountability creates constraint. Owning it creates options. The Role of Forgiveness in Leadership An overlooked leadership capability: Forgiveness. This includes: Letting go of past mistakes Releasing resentment Removing internal barriers Without it: Decision-making becomes limited Leaders operate from fear or hesitation With it: Leaders expand their ability to act Choices become more intentional The MyOS Framework: A Personal Leadership System John introduces the concept of MyOS, a personal operating system. Core elements: Inner peace Clear definition of identity Alignment with personal values At its core, MyOS asks: Are you making decisions you can respect? This becomes the filter for leadership decisions. The BU Manifesto: Identity Across Roles John expands this with the BU Manifesto: Focus on core identity Apply strengths across different roles and vocations Maintain consistency across environments This prevents fragmentation: Leader at work Different person at home Misalignment across responsibilities Alignment: Hands, Heart, and Mind Peak performance happens when three elements align: Hands: What you do Heart: What you care about Mind: What you think Misalignment creates: Friction Burnout Poor decisions Alignment creates: Clarity Energy Consistency Leadership in Practice: Decision Under Pressure Michael shares a real-world example: Reorganized a healthcare system based on data Faced resistance from physicians Offered accountability through a 90-day trial Outcome: System succeeded Long-term stability was achieved Lesson: Strong decisions require conviction Accountability builds trust Data must be paired with leadership clarity Key Takeaways Success without alignment leads to dissatisfaction Decision-making patterns can limit leadership effectiveness Fear is not the problem. Lack of awareness is Accountability creates freedom, not restriction Alignment across identity and action is critical for sustainable leadership Action Steps Identify your decision patterns Where are you defaulting instead of choosing? Define your leadership identity What does a “good leader” mean to you? Audit alignment Are your actions, values, and thinking consistent? Practice accountability Own outcomes without deflection Build reflection into your system Weekly review of decisions and behaviors Guest Links Website: https://johnfairclough.com/ Book:  https://www.amazon.com/Embrace-IMPACT-Crack-Code-Inner-ebook/dp/B0G6NS1QV5 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnfairclough/ Closing If your decisions are driven by patterns instead of intention, your leadership is operating on default.

In this episode, Patrick Teahan, MSW, explores the profound impact of rage as a byproduct of childhood trauma, detailing how unsafe environments force children to either weaponize or absorb intense emotional energy. He introduces the concept of inward and outward rage, moving beyond the stigma of "anger issues" to focus on the underground emotional deposits that develop when a child is erased, ignored, or exposed to volatility.The episode begins by unpacking a complex dynamic: the four specific childhood situations that fuel adult rage. Patrick uses these roots to illustrate how survivors often struggle with a "well of childhood" that runs their present-day reactions, where symptoms like road rage or chronic exhaustion are actually valid byproducts of old injustices.Listeners will learn:The Four Situations of Rage: Why adults not doing the right thing, deep injustice, volatile or passive parenting, and being "erased" create a lifelong emotional burden.Outward Rage (Fire at Will): The reality of being "wired for anger," characterized by a low threshold for frustration, self-righteousness, and the tendency for rage to come out sideways in adulthood.Inward Rage (The Superhero Absorber): Exploring why some survivors never feel anger at all, instead acting like a "black hole" that absorbs dangerous energy at the expense of their own physical and mental health.The Erasure Effect: What it truly means to be invisible as a child and how having your needs or feelings wiped out leads to a massive sense of adult injustice.Situations Over Symptoms: Why understanding your story is more vital for recovery than simply managing symptoms, as the "what happened" is the source of the "what is felt."Reclaiming and Releasing: How healing involves Jane-style pressure release for those with outward rage and Beth-style "reclaiming of the f-you" for those who have gone numb.Patrick also provides a case study of two sisters to highlight how the same traumatic environment can produce polar opposite rage strategies. By understanding how these survival tactics were formed, listeners can begin to move toward a healthy middle ground where anger is a tool for advocacy rather than a source of shame or self-sabotage.Keywords: childhood trauma, repressed rage, inward rage, outward rage, inner child work, emotional neglect, parentification, nervous system, toxic family systems, trauma recovery, justice-based anger. Join the Healing Community!Join the Monthly Healing Community Membership

She expounds upon years of trading alcohol for fitness and work, and the breathwork session six years into her sobriety that she now considers the true beginning of her recovery.

What if the very thing you desire most—love, abundance, purpose, fulfillment—is waiting on the other side of feeling safe to truly be seen? This week, Jessica, Lacy, and Janelle unpack the roots of visibility wounds and how childhood conditioning, family dynamics, societal programming, and nervous system protection can keep us hiding from our authentic selves. They explore the subtle ways we abandon our truth to stay safe from people-pleasing and shape-shifting to fear of vulnerability and rejection, and why reclaiming your gifts is the key to true magnetism. If you've ever felt afraid to fully express yourself, share your gifts, speak your truth, or take up space, this conversation is a loving permission slip to stop hiding and finally let yourself bloom.
