Dr. Schneider stresses asking questions from their perspective, building psychological safety, and inviting participation to open doors for change, not pushing through them. He warns against "hammer" approaches like HR escalation unless minimum competencies fail, and shares the "challenge plus support" quadrant: challenge without support leads to retreat; support without challenge stalls growth. Drawing from his roles as Assistant Dean for Faculty Coaching and private practice coach, he emphasizes leading with belief in people, connecting to their original "calling" in medicine, and accepting that not everyone will walk through the door. If you're in leadership facing resistance. This episode offers nuanced, practical strategies to foster trust, inspire evolution, and avoid burnout for you and your team.Three Actionable Takeaways:Start with Their Perspective, Not Yours: When addressing resistance, ask questions that uncover what they need, not what you think they need. Avoid starting from remediation or "hammer" tactics; build psychological safety by showing you believe in them, inviting participation to make change feel meaningful and voluntary.Balance Challenge and Support for Growth: Use the quadrants: Challenge without support causes retreat; support without challenge leads to stagnation. As a leader, consciously provide both, holding accountable while being "with them" to open doors for self-reflection and behavior shifts, even if they don't always step through.Reconnect to Their Original Calling: Remind resistant colleagues of why they chose medicine, the inspiration that's often buried under policies and metrics. Frame changes as ways to rediscover that purpose, making evolution feel like a personal win, not an imposed fix; not everyone changes, but this invites possibility.About the Show:Succeed In Medicine  covers patient interactions, burnout, career growth, personal finance, and more. If you're tired of dull medical lectures, tune in for real-world lessons we should have learned in med school!About the Guest: Dr. John Schneider is the Division Chief of Rhinology and Anterior Skull Base Surgery and Associate Professor at Washington University in St. Louis.

This episode with Beatriz Victoria Albina, NP MPH SEP, author of End Emotional Outsourcing, comes at a pivotal time in our culture's search for real self-worth and belonging. So many people today struggle with perfectionism, codependency, and people-pleasing, often because of pressures from work, social media, and our fast-paced world. Dr. Nicole, Hadlee, and Beatriz talk honestly about why these habits actually helped us cope and get by, how they're shaped by our nervous system and culture, and share simple ways to build real self-worth and stronger, healthier connections. We are launching this episode right around the holidays because this is a time when social pressure grows and many people experience emotional triggers or old patterns resurfacing. The end of the year can make feelings of loneliness, stress, or wanting to fit in feel stronger, especially with all the seasonal gatherings and expectations. This message, airing now, gives listeners tools and encouragement to reclaim agency and inner authority so they can face the holidays with more confidence and healthier boundaries. It arrives just when support and practical strategies are needed most.

Key Takeaways for Small Business Owners: Small daily actions create big transformations — Brian emphasizes that most people look for a massive breakthrough but overlook the power of doing one small meaningful task every single day.   Clarity is everything — Overwhelm often comes from a lack of direction; Brian urges business owners to step back, find quiet time, and define a clear, worthy goal for their life and business.   Reconnect with joy — Instead of grinding endlessly, he encourages finding joy in daily life, taking breaks, and doing activities that refill your energy and creativity.

One action small business owners can take: According to Brian Proctor, one action small business owners can take is to write down five things tonight that they want to accomplish tomorrow, then focus solely on completing the first task before moving to the next.

Today we're diving into one of the most sensitive, raw, and spiritually dangerous experiences a believer can face:Church hurt.Not the hurt that comes from the world.Not the hurt that comes from enemies.But the kind that comes from the people of God.A pastor who disappointed you.A leader who mishandled you.A friend who betrayed you.A community that didn't show up.A ministry that forgot you.A church that judged you more than loved you.This isn't theoretical pain.This is pain that hits the soul like a hammer.And for many believers — pain inflicted inside the church burns far deeper than pain inflicted outside it.But here's the truth God whispered to me when I walked through my own season of broken trust:“I can heal you from wounds My people caused — but you must bring them to Me.”Let's walk it out.

"Sometimes children have to disconnect from their hearts just to survive." - Kelly Cook   On this episode of Transforming Trauma, host Emily Ruth welcomes school social worker Kelly Cook for an open-hearted exploration of healing and connection with children, teens, and families facing adversity. Kelly shares how her lifelong sensitivity to those on the margins, shaped by early experiences of compassion and agency in her own childhood, led her into the field of social work and ultimately to trauma-informed practice within schools.   Kelly reflects on the profound vulnerability of young people, describing their need for supportive adults who honor their experiences and individuality. She delves into the challenges and hopes of working with children and adolescents navigating adverse childhood experiences, and highlights the critical role school-based interventions play. The conversation centers on the NeuroAffective Relational Model® (NARM®), with Kelly offering examples of how even a single, agency-focused inquiry—such as "What is it you most want for yourself?"—can spark transformation for students who rarely have that invitation.   Emily Ruth and Kelly discuss the necessity of collaborative care with families, the importance of honoring parents' struggles and needs, and the healing that emerges when communities move toward shared growth. Kelly speaks candidly about advocating for resources, building a social work team from the ground up, and the privilege of being welcomed into students' lives as they rediscover connection to themselves. Through personal stories and reflections, this episode illustrates the transformative power of seeing, hearing, and honoring each member of a community on the path to healing.   We invite you to listen to the full episode and follow Transforming Trauma on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or your favorite podcast app. *** **SPACE:** SPACE is an Inner Development Program of Support and Self-Discovery for Therapists on the Personal, Interpersonal, and Transpersonal Levels offered by the Complex Trauma Training Center.

NA'ALEH YOGA: Nidra Journeys for Deep Rest+ Close Your Eyes and Stay Awake...   This Yoga Nidra practice is centered on aromatherapy, a full body scan, and a short kavana (intention) to move you between wakefulness and sleep. The episode emphasizes preparing a quiet, comfortable space, engaging with meaningful scents, and sensing the "spaces between" the body to invite deep rest and renewal. Rooted in the month of Cheshvan's theme of stillness, the practice offers simple integration ideas—journaling, pausing throughout the day, and noticing aromas—and closes with guided return steps and resources to continue your practice.  To prepare for this practice, choose a pleasant and meaningful aroma to interact with throughout. You may diffuse essential oil, burn incense or herbs, light a scented candle, use a scented eye pillow, or anything else you enjoy.    Episode Summary: Here's what you can expect: Preparation: Set up your space before practicing with all the props you need, such as a blanket and pillow. Choose an aroma to bring with you to this practice. You may diffuse essential oil, burn incense or herbs, light a scented candle, use a scented eye pillow, or have nearby something pleasant and meaningful that you can smell.  Begin by settling into a comfortable position. Make sure you're fully supported completely at ease resting on your back or in the posture of your choice. Intention Setting: You will be guided to set a powerful Sankalpa/kavanah (intention) for this practice. Choose a meaningful, positive "I am..." statement that resonates with your heart and soul, reflecting your life's orienting resolve and deepest truth. Rotation of Consciousness: Experience a relaxing body scan focusing on each part of your body to shift further into a state of deep healing rest.  Breath Awareness: Deepen your restful state through aroma-guided breathing.  Visualization:  Rest in deep awareness experiencing guided imagery connected to the sense of smell and its memory associations Return to Your Intention: Reconnect with the intention you set earlier. Let it permeate and encode throughout your body. Externalization: Gently transition back to your ordinary waking state. Reconnect with your surroundings and receive ideas to integrate this practice into your daily life.   Background Music:  "A Meditation Flying in a Dream" by Ashot Danielyan from Pixabay   Subscribe to Na'aleh Yoga for more meditative Yoga Nidra journeys and transformative experiences.
