One of the classic clichés often repeated by coaches is that the best programme in the world, executed poorly, is far less effective than the worst programme executed well. While it's true that a poorly designed programme can still be ineffective, there is merit in the idea that how you train matters more than what's on paper. Teaching athletes how to train effectively and execute a programme to the best of their ability is one of the best leverage points for a coach. Much of this comes down to observing and interpreting training outcomes. These results often reveal whether the athlete is approaching training with the right intent, understands what truly matters, and knows which outcomes will most help their progress. In this week's episode, we explore some of the common areas where athletes tend to need more guidance in their training. We discuss motivation, the athlete's relationship with the training process, and share a few stories of interesting results we've seen over the years.

Rachael farms in Southern NSW and today shares her incredibly difficult experience following the milk crash and clawback in 2016 and how it drastically changed their farming system. Alongside partner Craig they had to make decisions and make them quick, including downsizing the herd and reducing the staff to ensure the farm could trade their way out of debt, and whilst it has taken them plenty of blood, sweat and tears they have done just that!  In this chat Rachael openly shares about the relationships with their consultant and creditors and how creating the $500 dollar club ensured everyone was paid, even in the depth of their financial crisis. She shares personal reflections on the impact it had on the community, their family and themselves, providing incredibly valuable insights for anyone facing situations outside of their control such as the clawback or the current drought.  A reminder that this is all general conversation and not specific financial advice, so if you are in severe financial hardship please know you aren't alone and I encourage you to lean on your support networks within Dairy Australia, your farm consultant or advisors or take advantage of the many rural financial counseling services available and check out the Farm Household Allowance to see if you are eligible, because if you used it as Rachael did in 2016, you're 10 year cycle will have reset and you can once again apply.

Jeannette examines the essential elements of creating a positive organisational culture, outlining 10 transformative steps to help listeners assess and cultivate the culture they desire. From defining core values and embedding culture into everyday practices to celebrating successes and fostering community, each point emphasises the importance of authenticity, purpose, and open communication Jeannette explains why: Establishing clear core values is essential as they set the foundation for the desired culture within an organisation. Values should reflect what you want to be known for and guide behaviours and decisions. Culture should be integrated into every aspect of the organisation, from recruitment and onboarding to product development and client interactions. Creating an environment where team members feel comfortable expressing themselves and providing feedback is crucial. Openness fosters creativity and ensures that everyone feels heard and valued. Recognising and celebrating both small and large achievements within the team helps to build morale and reinforces a positive culture. Simple acts of gratitude can have a significant impact.

In this reloaded episode, I share a powerful conversation with Fritzi Horstman, founder of the Compassion Prison Project. Fritzi discusses the vital importance of creating trauma-informed prisons and communities. She explains how understanding trauma can shift our perception of incarcerated individuals, seeing them not as inherently bad people, but as individuals who have often endured immense suffering. Fritzi highlights the interconnectedness of humanity and the impact of our actions on others, emphasising the need for compassion and systemic change to address the root causes of harmful behaviour, ultimately aiming to end child abuse and foster healing within society.Key Takeaways:Creating trauma-informed prisons and communities means understanding that individuals, particularly those who are incarcerated or living in poverty, are often dealing with significant past trauma and adversity.Shifting our perspective to see incarcerated individuals as people who have suffered, rather than simply "bad people," is crucial for fostering compassion and facilitating healing.We are all interconnected, and our actions and societal structures have a profound impact on individuals' well-being and behaviour. Addressing trauma can lead to a ripple effect of positive change.The goal of the Compassion Prison Project is to end child abuse by raising awareness of how trauma affects brain development and behaviour, encouraging more compassionate and informed interactions.Recognising and addressing our own trauma and reactive patterns is essential for personal healing and for contributing to a more compassionate world.Episode Highlights:01:00 - Fritzi explains the mission of the Compassion Prison Project: to create trauma-informed prisons and communities.02:00 - The belief in our interconnectedness and how that understanding shifts perception when interacting with others, including incarcerated individuals.03:45 - Fritzi shares her personal realisation of how her own past trauma and reactive behaviour impacted her child, highlighting the importance of understanding the effects of our actions.04:26 - The significance of Bessel van der Kolk's book, "The Body Keeps the Score," in understanding trauma, and the realisation that many in prison are deeply traumatised.07:08 - Fritzi discusses Tony Crowe's work with Trauma Talks in Belfast, emphasising that societal division often reflects our own internal divides.About the Guest:Fritzi Horstman is the Founder and Executive Director of Compassion Prison Project. She is a Grammy-award winning producer for her work on “The Defiant Ones”, has been a producer and post-producer on dozens of television projects and documentaries and has directed several films.

This week we are heading back to the turn of the 20th century to discuss the life of Margaret Damer Dawson, a one woman campaigning machine who had a strong sense of justice, and enough money to ensure that her voice was heard.After seeing the way that women in the 1910s were experiencing the criminal justice system, Margaret decided that the only way to improve things would be to have women on the front lines as police officers in their own right, and she would not rest until it happened......which thanks to the start of WWI wouldn't actually take as long as she might have feared.Guest Host: Evie Heathcote Hosted on Acast.

In today's world, where social isolation and disconnection are on the rise, the importance of human touch cannot be overstated. When we're deprived of nurturing touch, it can have a profound impact on our physical and emotional well-being, leading to what's commonly known as "touch starvation." This somatic crisis can manifest in a range of ways, from anxiety and depression to chronic pain and fatigue. In this video, we'll explore the somatic impact of not being held and the role that therapeutic touch can play in our emotional healing. We'll delve into the science behind social touch and its effects on our mental health, and discuss nurturing practices that can help us reconnect with ourselves and others. By examining the connection crisis and its effects on our bodies and minds, we can begin to heal and cultivate deeper, more meaningful relationships. Join us as we explore the power of touch and its potential to transform our lives. Key takeaways: - Touch is a biological need, not a luxury. - Safe touch is essential for emotional well-being. - Affection deprivation can lead to depression and anxiety. - Recognising signs of touch deprivation is crucial. - Self-soothing practices can help meet the need for touch. - Quality of touch is more important than quantity. - It's okay to want to be held and connected. - Cultural conditioning often leads to touch deprivation. - Touch is vital for co-regulation and safety. - You are not alone in your need for connection.

From organising events for Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama to teaching meditation practices that transform daily life, Michelle Eckles brings practical wisdom to those feeling overwhelmed by life's demands. In this captivating conversation, Michelle shares how meditation pulled her from a place of chronic pain, overwhelm, and burnout to a life of intention and calm. Her journey proves that even the busiest among us can find peace through simple, consistent practices that don't require hours of our day.Key TakeawaysStart with just 10 breathsThe journey to mindfulness begins with breathing. Place one hand on your chest, one on your belly, and take 10 conscious breaths through your nose. This simple practice activates your parasympathetic nervous system, sending signals to your brain to calm down—no special equipment or extended time commitment required.Single-tasking is more powerful than we realiseContrary to popular belief, multitasking creates more stress and less productivity. Michelle suggests practising "single-tasking"—giving your full attention to one activity at a time, whether waiting for the kettle to boil or enjoying a meal without distraction. This simple shift reduces mental load and increases presence.Integrate mindfulness into existing routinesYou don't need to find extra time for meditation—transform everyday moments instead. While walking, focus on one specific element (counting dogs, noticing tree colours). During meals, just eat. When waiting, just wait. These micro-moments of mindfulness accumulate into significant mental clarity.Allow emotions rather than fixing themOne of the most profound benefits of mindfulness is learning to recognise and sit with emotions without immediately trying to fix or analyse them. This practice of simply acknowledging feelings. Recognising them, naming them, and feeling where they live in your body, can transform how you respond to life's challenges.Consistency matters more than durationFive minutes of daily practice delivers more benefits than an hour-long session once a week. Start small and build the habit. The transformative power lies in making mindfulness a regular part of your life rather than an occasional intensive experience.Your Next StepsReady to experience the benefits of mindfulness in your own life? Begin with the simplest practice: those 10 mindful breaths whenever you feel overwhelmed. Notice how this small action changes your stress response. From there, choose one daily activity to transform into a mindful moment. Perhaps your morning coffee or evening walk.Remember Michelle's wisdom: "You don't need to sit on a pillow for half an hour every day" to reap the benefits of mindfulness. Start where you are, with what you have, and watch how these small practices ripple through your life, creating more space, calm, and clarity exactly when you need it most.Michelle is a member of the Meditation Association of Australia and mindful.org and a Veriditas-trained and certified labyrinth facilitator.Visit https://mindfulnessworksaustralia.com.au/  and https://meditationaustralia.org.au/ to find registered teachers in your area.Her book, Cultivating a Calm Mind provides a guide to reducing anxiety, improving sleep and managing thoughts and emotions using mindfulness and meditation techniques.

Come to a Dehoarding Accountability Zoom Session: http://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/ticket Subscribe to the podcast: https://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/subscribe Podcast show notes, links and transcript: http://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/  This week, I talk about what happens when I actually let myself feel the tough emotions instead of shutting them down - a pattern that's shaped my life and my struggles with hoarding, self-harm, and eating disorders. After a thought-provoking conversation with Anna Sale on Death, Sex & Money last year, I started questioning whether avoiding feelings has helped or hurt me in the long run and have been trying to process that ever since! I share what it's like to sit with big emotions, experiment with messy ways to cope, and why feeling the feelings might just be a way forward. Avoiding Feelings Realisation that I tend to do anything rather than feel difficult emotions. Recent personal reflection and processing feelings over the past few months. Impact of mental health and a PTSD flare-up on my ability to manage feelings. Connecting Coping Mechanisms to Avoidance Experience with PTSD, self-harm, anorexia, and bulimia as different forms of not feeling or avoiding emotions. Insights from an interview with Anna Sale on Death, Sex & Money that linked these coping together as forms of avoidance. Acknowledgment that these strategies were more than just avoidance - also punitive, protective, and multifaceted. The Cost and Pattern of Emotional Avoidance Compartmentalising as a lifelong coping skill and its negative long-term consequences. Difficulty breaking the habit of not feeling and the impact on my sense of identity. Recognition that suppressing feelings can be as damaging as (or more damaging than) the feelings themselves. Actively Facing and Processing Feelings Engaging in therapy, journaling (both resentful and creative/collage style), and reading poetry to access emotions. Talking more openly with friends as a supportive measure. Forcing myself to do enjoyable activities (like getting outside), which helps counteract avoidance. Community, Connection, and Support Impact of Trauma and Suppression on Daily Life How PTSD and unprocessed sadness began affecting sleep, revealing that suppressing feelings is no longer effective. Discusses the challenge of letting oneself feel emotions, both by choice and when overcome involuntarily. The risks of being overwhelmed and the delicate balance between feeling and avoidance. Learning and Conversations About Emotional Acceptance Revisiting lessons from previous podcast guests about the counterproductivity of suppressing or over-intellectualising feelings. The concept that suppressed emotions may “come out sideways” through other behaviours, like self-harm or hoarding. Nuanced view of coping mechanisms - not labeling them as purely negative since they served protective purposes. Vulnerability, Shame, and Deepening Relationships Gradual willingness to share deeper, more distressing moments with friends. Examining the reasons behind the instinct to hide intense distress. How vulnerability leads to stronger, more meaningful connections. Positive Effects of Feeling the Hard Stuff Discovering that feeling hard emotions increases the capacity to feel positive emotions more deeply. Finding deeper love, joy, and beauty in everyday experiences. Recognising the importance of support systems when exploring difficult emotions. Reflection and Encouragement for Listeners Encourages listeners to be curious about their own patterns of avoidance and coping. Cautions that intentionally feeling emotions is difficult and requires support. The hopeful observation that allowing feelings can be cathartic, gratifying, and healing—even if it's uncomfortable.

Guest post by Paul Grant is a successful serial entrepreneur and co-author of Money Remixed: The 14 Steps to a Wealthy Mindset Entrepreneurship is often seen as a one-size-fits-all path paved by grit, hustle, and visionary thinking. But in reality, every entrepreneur approaches their journey differently - some lead with logic, others with empathy; some thrive on data, others on instinct. So, what if there was a way to identify your natural tendencies and better understand how they shape your decisions, leadership style, and success? Why an Entrepreneur Personality Can Unlock Success Using Colours to Determine your Personality A popular means by which to categorise and determine your own entrepreneur personality is through colours - Red, Yellow, Blue, and Green - that each represent distinct behavioural styles and, through understanding this, help individuals and teams improve communication, performance, and self-awareness by understanding their strengths and potential limiters. Here's a quick snapshot: Red - Action-oriented, direct, competitive, driven by results. Yellow - Creative, social, optimistic, energised by people. Green - Analytical, detailed, thoughtful, committed to quality. Blue - Empathetic, loyal, harmonious, motivated by values. Your Personality in Action: The Entrepreneurial Edge Understanding your entrepreneur personality can be a game-changer when starting or scaling a business. Here's how: 1. Self-Awareness = Better Decision-Making Entrepreneurs face constant decisions under pressure. A Red might lean toward quick, bold moves, while a Blue might pause to ensure alignment with core values. Neither is right or wrong - but being aware of your natural style helps you balance instinct with intention. 1. Building a Balanced Team Knowing your own strengths and potential limiters also helps you build a team that complements your blind spots. A Yellow founder may be great at pitching and motivating but struggle with follow-through - partnering with a Green co-founder can add structure and logic. This diversity reduces friction and enhances collaboration. 1. Communicating More Effectively Whether it's pitching to investors, leading a team, or serving customers, communication is key. Each colour-led type communicates differently: Reds are blunt, Yellows persuasive, Greens precise, and Blues compassionate. Understanding these styles helps entrepreneurs tailor their messaging to different audiences, improving clarity and trust. 1. Managing Stress and Triggers Entrepreneurship is stressful - and under pressure, what may have previously been our strengths can become potential limiters. For example, a Red might become overly controlling, while a Blue may avoid confrontation. Recognising these patterns helps entrepreneurs manage stress proactively, using personal intervention techniques to stay grounded. Real-World Example Consider a startup founder with dominant Yellow traits. They're visionary, energetic, and thrive on networking, but often get distracted by new ideas and struggle with follow-through. By understanding their profile, they can put systems in place - such as accountability partners or structured planning sessions - to keep projects on track. Just as importantly, they can hire a Green or Blue operations lead who brings detail-orientation or people sensitivity to the team. Together, this team becomes more than the sum of its parts: complimenting each other's strengths and managing their potential limiters. The Bottom Line Success in entrepreneurship isn't just about what you do - it's about how you do it. Understanding your entrepreneurial personality boosts self-awareness, improves team dynamics, and reduces costly missteps. By leaning about your strengths and managing your potential limiters, you'll not only grow your business - you'll grow as a leader.

Jeannette studies the profound relationship between our mortality and the choices we make regarding our time. Acknowledging that death is a certainty for everyone, she encourages listeners to reflect on how they spend their most precious asset—time. By introducing the concept of "time betting," Jeannette prompts us to consider what we are investing our hours in, whether it be personal growth, relationships, or unproductive habits You'll hear: Recognising that death is inevitable can lead to a greater awareness of how we spend our time, prompting us to focus on what truly matters in life. Time is our most valuable resource, and it's essential to evaluate how we allocate it—whether towards personal growth, relationships, or activities that enhance our well-being. Discipline in how we spend our time is a conscious choice. It involves making decisions that align with our goals and values. Why setting clear goals and understanding the reasons behind them, can help us to enjoy the process of pursuing those goals, and reduce psychological friction that makes it harder to stay committed. Regularly reflecting on how we spend our time and whether our actions align with our goals can help ensure that we are making the most of our limited time on earth.

Anzac Day, marked on 25 April, honours the Anzacs' first major war in 1915 during World War I. While the sacrifices of Australian and New Zealand soldiers are well known, the story of the nearly 16,000 Indian troops who also fought at Gallipoli—1,600 of whom lost their lives—remained largely overlooked until recent years. In this podcast, historian Professor Peter Stanley calls on the Indian diaspora to help give these forgotten soldiers the recognition they deserve. He believes honouring their contribution can deepen the understanding of the shared history between India and Australia.

In this candid solo episode, I dive into one of the most common challenges facing midlife women today: the gap between what we know we should do and actually doing it. After years of prioritising everyone else's needs, many of us have accumulated wisdom and knowledge about what would make our lives better, yet we remain stuck in patterns that no longer serve us. I share personal examples from my own health journey and professional transformation, offering a heartfelt invitation to move beyond information-gathering into meaningful action that creates real change in your life.Key TakeawaysKnowledge Alone Isn't Power - We often mistake learning for progress. Reading books, saving inspirational quotes, and listening to podcasts feel productive, but create only potential power. The real transformation happens when you start implementing what you've learned, even imperfectly.Identify Your Blocks to Action - Common obstacles include fear of failure, perfectionism, overwhelming options, guilt about putting yourself first, and identity confusion. Recognising which ones are holding you back is the first step toward breaking through them.Start Small to Build Momentum - Taking one tiny action creates a ripple effect. Whether it's setting a simple boundary, establishing a small wellness habit, or having that conversation you've been avoiding, small steps lead to significant shifts when done consistently.Create Accountability - Share your intentions with someone who will support your journey. Making your commitments known to others makes them more real and increases your likelihood of following through.Moving ForwardThe transformation you're seeking won't happen through intentions alone. It happens through your choices and actions. Your midlife chapter isn't written on someday; it's being authored right now through what you choose to do today. If you're ready to bridge the gap between knowing and doing with more support and structure, I invite you to book a free connection call with me to explore how my Reimagine Mentoring Program could help you take those first crucial steps.Remember, you don't need more time or perfect conditions to begin.

In this episode, I explore a question that's long since intrigued me: why do some alliances flourish while others unravel? As an open-introvert who doesn't hate people (yes, hi, I am right here, I exist!), I've come to realise it's not about being opposites but about understanding the behaviours that trigger we introverts and learning to work with, not against, our differences. I share a variety of alliances and explore how they have helped me grow, learn and evolve, while some fizzled out due to unspoken frustrations or unmanaged differences. The game-changer? Recognising that most conflict isn't about personality, but behaviour. Let's reflect on how we introverts can build alliances that stretch, support, and help us evolve as individuals; without draining your precious energy.   *** Key Points *** Introvert–extravert partnerships work Conflict is behaviour-based Shared purpose over similarity   #IntrovertExtravertAlliance #ThoughtfulCollaboration #BehaviourNotPersonality #Introverts #Extraverts #FlourishingIntroverts #IntrovertVoices #OppositesThatWork   *** Resources *** Visit https://hub.flourishingintroverts.com/resourcesp for tools and resources mentioned during the podcast.

Have you ever felt stuck, unable to move forward, and unsure why? This phenomenon is often referred to as the freeze response, a primal reaction that occurs when our nervous system perceives a threat, causing physical and emotional paralysis. While we've all heard of the fight or flight response, the freeze response is a lesser-known yet equally important aspect of our body's fear response. In this video, we'll delve into the world of physiological and emotional regulation, exploring how our nervous system responds to danger and how somatic therapy can help you overcome emotional paralysis. By understanding the polyvagal theory and the role of the dorsal vagal complex, you'll gain insight into why you may be experiencing emotional paralysis and how to break free from its grip. Join us as we explore the freeze response and discover how to regain control over your emotions and move forward with confidence. Key takeaways: - The freeze response is a biological protective state. - It's not a choice; it's an intelligent survival strategy. - Procrastination and numbness can be manifestations of freeze. - Awareness is crucial for reconnecting with the nervous system. - Gentle movements and touch can help re-engage the body. - Co-regulation with a trusted person can aid in healing. - Moving through fight or flight is necessary to heal from freeze. - Creating a sense of safety is essential for recovery. - Small steps towards healing are significant. - Your body is trying to keep you safe; it's not your fault.

Lee talks about the dynamics of high performing teams, challenging the common saying, "there's no I in team." He emphasises the importance of recognising individual differences within a team, including diverse perspectives, communication styles, and motivations. Lee discusses how understanding these differences can enhance team collaboration and performance. He introduces the concept of the four C's of human relationships—connect, converse, collaborate, and celebrate—and highlights the significance of aligning intentions in conversations. By fostering deeper connections and being aware of individual needs, leaders can create an environment where team members feel valued and motivated to achieve collective goals. Tune in for practical insights on building effective teams and enhancing interpersonal relationships in the workplace. KEY TAKEAWAYS Embrace Individual Differences: High performing teams are composed of diverse individuals with varying perspectives, experiences, and communication styles. Recognising and understanding these differences is crucial for team success. The Four C's of Human Relationships: Building strong relationships involves a cyclical process of connecting, conversing, collaborating, and celebrating. Finding common ground is essential for deeper engagement and rapport. Motivation and Communication Styles: People are motivated differently—some move away from pain while others move towards pleasure. Understanding these motivations, along with individual communication preferences, can enhance team dynamics and effectiveness. Aligning Intent in Conversations: In interactions, it's important to align your intent with the other person's needs, whether they seek help, support, or simply want to be heard. Misalignment can lead to conflict and misunderstandings. Vulnerability and Leadership: Effective leadership may require being vulnerable and showing care for team members. Leaders should also be mindful of their own communication styles and adapt to better connect with their team. BEST MOMENTS "There is no I in team... However, to create a team, it is important that you recognize it is made up of a lot of eyes, a lot of individuals." "If you can understand which is the dominant preference of each person, then that allows you to change your conversation style." "We need to connect. We need to understand ourselves and understand others." "The way that we connect is we find things in common, which requires us to ask better questions." "If the other person wants to be heard, then you need to listen."

Spring is here, the sun is shining, and it's the perfect time to revamp your B2B sales strategies. With the new financial year underway, we have three crucial months to maximise our corporate sales efforts before the summer relaxation kicks in. In our latest episode of Selling to Corporate ®, we've tackled an often-overlooked topic: buying indicators on B2B sales calls. Many of us may not even realise we're missing these, and it's costing us potential revenue. I am looking  into the world of buying indicators and how they play an essential role in enhancing your B2B sales process. As we kick off the new financial year, it's crucial to identify these indicators and navigate sales calls with confidence.   In this episode I'm sharing; Buying Indicators Explained What are buying indicators? These are verbal or nonverbal cues that show a prospect's interest in progressing with a sales process. Jess emphasises the importance of recognizing them to avoid missing opportunities. Handling Practical Questions and Objections Jess touches on how questions about terms and conditions, or potential objections like the need for cancellation clauses, are often positive buying indicators rather than signs of disinterest. They're part of the prospect considering the practicalities of working with a supplier. Objections as Positive Indicators Jess assures us that objections during sales calls should be seen as positive indicators. These conversations are vital as they are opportunities for deeper engagement and understanding, potentially leading to successful conversions. As we move into April with its fresh start to the financial year, it's the prime time to hone your sales strategies before the summer relaxation mode sets in. We're exploring a critical aspect of the sales process that many, even seasoned sales professionals, tend to overlook: buying indicators. These are the subtle cues, both verbal and non-verbal, that signal a prospect's interest in progressing further. Understanding these indicators can make the difference between a stagnant sales pipeline and one that flourishes with corporate contracts. Jess breaks down the concept of buying indicators, starting with the fundamental question, “What is a buying indicator?” Simply put, it's any sign that suggests a potential client is interested in advancing the sales process. This could be as overt as a prospect leaning in with enthusiasm during a meeting or as nuanced as a thoughtful question about your service terms and conditions. But why are these indicators often missed? Jess points out that many people, including those with a strong understanding of sales theory, don't actively look for these cues in real-time interactions. This episode doesn't just define what these indicators are but also guides listeners on how to navigate them effectively, particularly when they don't seem obviously positive. If you're struggling to convert more in your sales calls, Jess suggests focusing on not just recognising buying indicators but also refining your overall sales strategy. By aligning every step of your sales funnel—from lead generation to the final closing—you can maximise every opportunity and keep your pipeline active and robust.   Sales is not just about outcomes but the journey. Recognising the two positive buying indicators—enthusiastic engagement and thoughtful objections—can provide you with the competitive edge needed in today's corporate sales environment. So, take these insights, apply them, and see how they transform your approach, leading to more dynamic sales conversations and successful closings.

Recognising the signs of over-training is crucial for athletes to prevent injury, burnout, and long-term performance decline.Over-training occurs when an athlete pushes their body beyond its ability to recover, leading to physical and mental fatigue, decreased motivation, and higher injury risk. It often happens when there's an imbalance between intense training and insufficient rest.Athletes may over-train due to a desire to improve performance quickly, pressure to compete, or a mindset of pushing through fatigue, not realizing that recovery is as important as the training itself.In this episode, Dr. Phillip Patterson explains in more detail why and what to look out for regarding overtraining.  Enjoy!Inst link @drphilbatterson

Do you know the invisible weight of transactional love? As someone who has walked through the emotional minefield, I understand how every interaction becomes a calculated performance.  The narcissist conditions you to believe your worth is transactional and you constantly have to prove your value through endless giving, pleasing, and sacrificing. Your authentic self disappears and is replaced by a version carefully crafted to avoid criticism and earn microscopic fragments of affection. Each day becomes an exhausting dance of walking on eggshells, anticipating their next emotional manipulation. The trauma leaves invisible scars, making you question your own reality, your own memories. But healing is possible.  Recognising that your worth isn't determined by their validation is the first powerful step towards reclaiming your identity. You are valuable simply by existing, not by how perfectly you serve someone else's toxic narrative. Your survival is your strength.   0:00 Intro   2:13 The Future of the Podcast   3:37 Transactional Love and Personal Experiences   9:01 Impact of Transactional Love on Children   12:30 Challenges and Solutions for Parents and Survivors   15:12 Conclusion   Podcast Resources: Join my FREE Facebook group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/thriveafternarcissisticabuse Access my low cost Narcissistic Trauma Recovery Programme https://go.carolinestrawson.com/heal-the-trauma-of-narcissistic-abuse Connect with me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carolinestrawson/ Find me on TikTok!: https://www.tiktok.com/@carolinestrawson My website: https://www.carolinestrawson.com/

When children need to talk, they'll give subtle clues that most parents miss completely. Recognising these moments and responding with actual listening—not advice, stories, or solutions—creates connections that last decades. The secret? Summarise what they say instead of steering the conversation. Most children never reveal their real issue first, which means parents who jump in with solutions are missing what their children truly need: to be understood. Quote of the Episode: "Understanding is the deepest hunger of the human heart." - Stephen Covey (quoted by Ross Judd) Key Points: Children rarely reveal their real issue first—they test the waters with a "safe" topic before sharing what's really bothering them. Look for unusual behaviour or emotional signals that indicate your child needs to talk. Taking control of the conversation prevents your child from getting to the deeper issue. The art of summarising (repeating back what your child has said) is the key to effective listening. Our brains think 10 times faster than people speak, making it incredibly difficult to truly listen. Deep listening isn't something you need to do all the time—just recognise the important moments. Children often already have the answers to their problems; they just need someone to listen. Use neutral phrases like "tell me more" to encourage continued sharing. Don't change the direction of the conversation with questions that steer it elsewhere. Effective listening involves "taking the ride, not the wheel"—let your child drive the conversation. Resources Mentioned: "Listening: A Guide to Building Deeper Connections" by Ross Judd "Miss Connection: Why Your Teenage Daughter Hates You, Expects the World, and Needs to Talk" by Dr. Justin Coulson Stephen Covey's concept of "faithful translation" (active listening technique) Happy Families Action Steps for Parents: Recognise special moments when your child is seeking connection (unusual behaviour, lingering in doorways, emotional signals). When these moments occur, stop everything, engage fully, and put away distractions. Use neutral phrases like "tell me more" instead of asking directive questions. Practise summarising what your child says without adding your own input. Remember that the real issue usually comes second—be patient and don't try to solve the first problem they mention.
