Podcasts about reconnecting

Codependency is an umbrella term used to describe a broad spectrum of emotional, mental and behavioral, subconscious, and automatic trauma responses developed in early childhood as an adaptation to chronic, inescapable stress. While over-functioning as a small child, to avoid rejection, the child's nervous system learns to scan their environment for potential threats. This scanning is called hypervigilance, and it also exiles the inner child into an abyss. Children of toxic, dysfunctional parents, families, and circumstances are denied the compassionate adult, whose role is to mentor, teach, and guide a child in a way that nurtures a positive sense of self. The very basics of healthy human interraction are not modeled. A child who has learned they must scan their environment must: Use their conscious waking hours scanning their parents' facial expressions, moods, and tones--while this is occurring, a child is learning how to morph and adapt, rather than explore the inner self, their inner child, their inner landscape Abandoning the self, including their innate needs, wants, emotions, and right to be authentic, to avoid further emotional neglect, abuse, bullying, or rejection—while this survival response was useful during childhood, the adult child eventually learns that they often don't know what they want or need. This can be a frustrating experience in therapy and relationships. If you are codependent, you may have felt frustrated in therapy when asked, "What do you need" What do you want?"  Codependents do not know what they need.  They Struggle to Trust Their Inner World Codependency is built on self-abandonment. Many codependents grew up in environments where their emotions were dismissed, mocked, punished, or ignored. Carl Jung would say their inner child—what he called the "Divine Child"—was exiled. So when asked: "What do you feel?" "What do you want?" "What do you need?" …they genuinely do not know. This creates enormous frustration in therapy, because the inner world feels foreign, inaccessible, or even dangerous. The codependent has learned to trust external authority over inner intuition. Reconnecting with the inner self requires time, patience, and the slow dismantling of shame. Therapy asks them to return to a Self they have never been allowed to meet. The journey back home must be slow, steady, and compassionate; otherwise, therapy can sometimes cause more harm than good and lead to a codependent person trying to please the therapist, thereby reenacting a facet of their adaptation survival response.

In this episode, we explore what it truly means to reconnect with your sensuality and return to your feminine energy. If you've been feeling numb, disconnected, or stuck in survival mode, this conversation will guide you back into your body and your senses. I'll explain why women lose touch with their sensuality, how slowing down can awaken your inner aliveness and simple practices you can begin today to reconnect with your sensuality.

Message Phi on Instagram Email Phi Flow Luxury Self Care Feminine Energy Retreat May 24-30, 2026 Sensuality isn't seduction or sexuality Welcome back, beautiful soul. Take a breath with me… In through the nose… and gently out through the mouth. A moment for yourself to just breathe. In this moment right now, I want to take you into a part of yourself that doesn't rush, doesn't perform and doesn't need to prove anything. A part of you that is just here. You, me and this podcast. The part of you that once felt the world with your whole body… the woman who could taste moments, who could hear the subtle pull of her intuition, who could sense what she needed without thinking. She's still here. She might be quiet, she might be tired, she might feel far away but she's not gone. She's waiting just beneath the surface of your busyness, whispering for you to slow down long enough to notice her. Sensuality is not about seduction. It's about sensation. It's about aliveness. It's the art of being in relationship with your own body not as an object, but as a home. It's the ability to feel warmth travel across your skin, to notice the way your breath softens your edges, to be awake to the subtle pleasure inside everyday moments. Sensuality is presence, embodied. Feeling and being disconnected from your sensuality Most women don't actually lose their sensuality: they simply disconnect from it in order to survive. We learn to silence our senses because feeling too much seems inconvenient, too slow, too vulnerable. We move so fast that our bodies can't keep up, so they shut down the very parts of us that make life rich and textured and deeply feminine. Today is your invitation to reopen those doors… gently, without pressure, without expectation. Sensuality is a key dimension of the feminine. Notice how rare it is to see men slow down simply to taste their coffee, feel the warmth of it in their hands, or breathe into the moment. Yet for women, this kind of slowing down, savouring, and sensing is both natural and transformative. It's how we reconnect with ourselves, how we reclaim our energy and how we cultivate the radiance that the world notices before we even speak. Sensuality through softness As you listen, see if you can soften your breath. Soften your shoulders. Soften the part of you that thinks she needs to be “on” in order to be okay. Sensuality returns not through effort, but through softening. Through remembering that you're not meant to brace your way through your own life. You are meant to feel it — in your skin, in your breath, in your whole being. And today, we begin that return together. Your sensual self is the woman who experiences life instead of moving through it on autopilot. She notices warmth on her skin. She hears her own breath. She lets herself taste, touch, feel, receive. Your sensuality isn't broken I've had many women through 1:1 coaching or on retreats tell me “I feel disconnected from my feminine energy.” “I don't feel feminine — I feel flat.” “I don't feel sensual or sexy, I feel stressed” And they say it or whisper it like it's a confession or something horrible. Like they've failed at being feminine. Yet nothing is wrong with you.

In an era where pressures on climate and environments grow even stronger, we should not underestimate the transformative power of art. (Ambassador of the European Union to Canada Geneviève Tuts)When you do the trigger, the emotional part, you can go down hope and fear both. Both lead to action but ultimately, we need to transform being passive into really active contributors to solving this and what a better way than art? (Akash Rastogi, Chief Capital Strategy Officer at Canada's Ocean Supercluster) We want to activate the creativity of communities through the arts to create the cities of the future, basically, right, the cities we want to live in (Juan Eraso, leader of international programs at Culturans)‘Change happens. There's always going to be ways to adapt. That's not to say that the initial change might not be catastrophic but there was always going to be something left and you have to work with that'. (e208 clara schryer - science as story). Now it breaks my heart to hear that because for a young person to say that means that they don't anticipate there won't be a lot left and yet… (Claude Schryer)We know that when we work with green spaces, we work with life, we work with art, we can rebuild, we can regenerate, but we have to do it differently. (Claude Schryer)Yes, to doing things differently. Yes, to more evocative, emotionally resonant art.Yes, to dissolving boundaries.(Background sound from Jubilee Queen Cruise Ship in podcast)When I got an invitation from Jana Macalik, Director of the Global Centre for Climate Action at OCAD University to participate on a panel about art and climate - one of my passions - I was excited and honoured to accept. This panel was part of an event called Dissolving Boundaries that took place on October 4, 2025, as part of Nuit Blanche Toronto, which of course went on all night. It featured the premiere of a large scale, beautiful large-scale art projection by Alessandro Gisendi and Marco Noviello of the OOOPStudio in Italy. Their work was projected onto the massive Canada Malting Silos on the shores of Lake Ontario in Tkaronto. Dissolving Boundaries was co-presented by the Global Centre for Climate Action at OCAD University and the European Union (EU), through its Delegation to Canada. I want to thank them for their hospitality and congratulate them their vision in collaborating, partnering and bringing this work and this conversation to us. The timing was good for me. I was wrapping up season 6 of my conscient podcast / balado conscient after some 350 episodes since I started it in 2020 and I was about to take a break, but then I got a call to talk about how arts and culture can help move audiences from awareness to action and I could not refuse that. I felt good about speaking freely and really listening to the different points of view. We were on a ship called the Jubilee Queen Cruise Ship so it quite moving, literally, to be on a boat looking out onto the projection and talking about art, culture and climate. Here's Ana Serrano, OCAD University's President and Vice-Chancellor explaining what the event was about: But we can't stop, really. We don't really have much of a choice. So, convening like this, trying to figure out ways to create evocative, emotionally resonant works that will catalyze people into thinking about their relationship with the land, with water, with climate and their daily actions is what tonight is all about.First you'll hear Ana Serrano shares some inspiring opening remarks, followed by an engaging speech by the Ambassador of the EU to Canada, Geneviève Tuts. You'll then hear panelists, with Ana as facilitator, speak one by one. First Alessandro Gisendi, Akash Rastogi (Chief Capital Strategy Officer at Canada's Ocean Supercluster) myself, Juan Erazo (Culturans) and Alice Xu (Director of Policy, Planning and Program Enablement; Environment, Climate and Forestry Division at the City of Toronto).  At the end of the recording you'll hear a question from an audience member, who happens to be a friend of mine, Coman Poon (e202 coman poon - what are you doing with your life ?) ask about ‘extraction for the sake of economic autonomy', which we all commented upon. The conversation continued until it was time to view the art projection!I want to express my warmest thanks to the organizers, fellow panelists, audience members and in particular to OCAD sound technician Omar Qureshi, who recorded this session for me.Enjoy. It's good to talk about these things with creative energy. May the conversations continue.*Episodes notes generated by Whisper Transcribe AIKey Takeaways:Activate community creativity through art to design future cities and foster positive change.Bridge the gap between rational climate data and emotional engagement to motivate action.Reassess economic models to prioritize natural assets and foster international cooperation for scalable solutions.Integrate nature-based solutions into urban planning and daily life, celebrating local initiatives.Leverage cross-sector collaboration, including Indigenous wisdom, to address complex climate challenges with accountability and compassion.Story PreviewIn a world grappling with urgent climate pressures, this episode reveals how art can ignite powerful emotions, transforming passive observers into active contributors.

Walking the land teaches us who we are and what becomes possible when we return to the Earth as a teacher rather than something to own.    Reconnecting with the land releases our overwhelm, softens mental noise, awakens our animal nature, and restores the deep belonging that lives in all of us.    Nature instantly soothes the nervous system because our species evolved in partnership with the Earth. Together, we remember the medicine of slowness, presence, interconnectedness, and the ancient truth that life loves you and the land is always waiting for you to come home.   Topics   Relearning how to partner with the land The difference between owning land and being in relationship with it How nature restores your nervous system Remembering our animal nature and interconnectedness Why spiritual seekers must return to their bodies and the earth Simple ways to reconnect with the land daily   I love you!   Xoxo, Sarah Helpful Links:   Join us in THE JOURNEY Our mentorship portal https://sarahnoble.com/journey/   Subscribe to our Substack for exclusive teachings and content.  https://snoble.substack.com/   The Devotion Codes is a FREE transmission that guides you out of the cycle of self-discipline and self-control, and into the loving embrace of self-devotion.

Story Transcript:Hu: Az őszi nap alacsonyan sütött le a krisztinavárosi virágoskertben.En: The autumn sun shone low in the Krisztinavárosi flower garden.Hu: A fák levelei arany, piros és barnás színekben pompáztak, mintha valaki festett volna könyvet a kertről.En: The leaves of the trees were adorned in gold, red, and brownish colors, as if someone had painted a book about the garden.Hu: Ez volt az a hely, ahol Balázs és Lívia sok évvel ezelőtt játszottak gyerekként.En: This was the place where Balázs and Lívia played as children many years ago.Hu: Most felnőttek voltak, de a kert még mindig őrzi az emlékeiket.En: Now they were adults, but the garden still held their memories.Hu: Balázs nézte a sétányon lépdelő testvérét.En: Balázs watched his sibling walking along the path.Hu: Lívia kissé lehajtott fejjel, kezét zsebre dugva menekült a csípős őszi szél elől.En: Lívia, with her head slightly bowed and hands in her pockets, was escaping from the biting autumn wind.Hu: Balázs érezte, hogy most valamit tennie kell.En: Balázs felt that he needed to do something now.Hu: Rég nem találkoztak, és azóta sok minden megváltozott.En: They hadn't seen each other in a long time, and much had changed since then.Hu: Ő a munkája miatt távol élt, míg Lívia Budapesten maradt a szüleikkel.En: He lived far away due to his work, while Lívia stayed in Budapest with their parents.Hu: „Emlékszel, amikor itt lehullottak a levelek?En: "Do you remember when the leaves fell here?"Hu: ” kérdezte Balázs, halk hangon.En: asked Balázs in a soft voice.Hu: Lívia bólintott.En: Lívia nodded.Hu: „Igen, mindig versenyeztünk, ki talál több pirosat.En: "Yes, we always competed to see who could find more red ones."Hu: ”Egy pillanatra csend állt be közöttük, majd Balázs mély lélegzetet vett.En: There was a moment of silence between them, then Balázs took a deep breath.Hu: „Sajnálom, hogy ilyen sokáig távol voltam.En: "I'm sorry I've been away for so long."Hu: ”Lívia mosolygott, de az arca fátyolos maradt.En: Lívia smiled, but her face remained veiled.Hu: „Nem könnyű egyedül lenni.En: "It's not easy being alone."Hu: ”Balázs annak reményében jött ide, hogy enyhíthet a testvérére nehezedő terheken.En: Balázs came here hoping to lighten the burdens weighing on his sister.Hu: Talán most itt a megfelelő pillanat.En: Perhaps now is the right moment.Hu: „Lívia, szeretnék többet segíteni.En: "Lívia, I want to help more.Hu: Gyakrabban fogok látogatni, és lehetnék támogatásod.En: I'll visit more often and be your support."Hu: ”A lány sokáig hallgatott.En: The girl remained silent for a long time.Hu: A szél egy narancssárga levelet pördített el előttük, mintha táncolna.En: The wind spun an orange leaf in front of them, as if it were dancing.Hu: „De mit jelent ez?En: "But what does that mean?"Hu: ” kérdezte végül Lívia.En: Lívia finally asked.Hu: „Azt, hogy jelen akarok lenni.En: "It means I want to be present.Hu: Segíteni mindenben, amiben tudok,” mondta Balázs meggyőződéssel.En: To help in any way I can," said Balázs with conviction.Hu: „Akár a szüleinkkel, akár mással is.En: "Whether it's with our parents or anything else."Hu: ”A vita forrósodott.En: The conversation heated up.Hu: Lívia először dühös volt, a felgyülemlett feszültség utat tört magának.En: Lívia was angry at first, the pent-up tension breaking free.Hu: „Mindig csak igérgetsz!En: "You always just promise!"Hu: ”De Balázs nem hátrált meg.En: But Balázs did not back down.Hu: Őszintén beszélt, érvelve és ígérve egy új kezdetet.En: He spoke sincerely, arguing and promising a new beginning.Hu: Végre, Lívia arca enyhült.En: Finally, Lívia's face softened.Hu: Elfogadta, hogy testvére próbálkozik, és valóban változtatni akar.En: She accepted that her brother was trying and truly wanted to change.Hu: „Rendben,” mondta kicsit lágyabban.En: "Okay," she said a bit more gently.Hu: „De nem csak szavakat szeretnék hallani.En: "But I don't just want to hear words.Hu: Tettekre is szükség van.En: Actions are needed too."Hu: ”A nap lassan eltűnt a horizonton, és a kert árnyékba borult.En: The sun slowly disappeared beyond the horizon, and the garden was cast into shadow.Hu: De valami más világosodott meg Balázs és Lívia között.En: But something else was enlightened between Balázs and Lívia.Hu: Félreértések még hátravoltak, de az első lépést együtt tették meg.En: Misunderstandings still remained, but they took the first step together.Hu: Ahogy a kertet elhagyták, Balázs és Lívia újra testvérként találtak egymásra.En: As they left the garden, Balázs and Lívia

Many of us move through life repeating the same painful relationship patterns—feeling unsafe, unseen, or disconnected, even when we're trying our hardest to "do everything right." Invisible wounds from early experiences quietly shape the ways we love, cope, and relate as adults. Instead of recognizing these patterns as natural adaptations, we often turn the blame inward, not realizing that our attachment styles and protective behaviors are rooted in the body and nervous system as much as the mind. Real healing isn't about forcing change or consuming endless self-help advice—it's about reshaping your internal sense of safety on a deeply felt, embodied level. In this episode, we explore how secure, nourishing relationships begin with understanding the implicit memories, sensations, and patterns that live inside us. Learn how to meet old wounds with compassion, honor the protective parts that once kept you safe, and gently build new internal anchors of stability and trust. Using tools like the Wheel of Attachment and the practice of "finding your anchors," this episode offers both a clear roadmap and grounded encouragement for anyone ready to move beyond survival mode and experience connection that feels authentic, spacious, and truly supportive. Jessica Baum is a licensed psychotherapist, certified addiction specialist, and Imago couples therapist with advanced training in EMDR, CBT, DBT, and experiential therapy. She founded the Relationship Institute of Palm Beach and leads a global coaching company supporting clients worldwide. Passionate about trauma, attachment, and interpersonal neurobiology, Jessica helps individuals and couples heal and reconnect. Her bestselling book, Anxiously Attached, has made her a respected voice in nurturing secure, fulfilling relationships.   Episode Highlights 05:55 How early experiences shape our sense of safety. 07:48 Implicit memories and relationship patterns. 11:09 The importance of somatic (body-based) memory. 13:14 Reconnecting with the body for healing. 18:42 Understanding and honoring protective behaviors. 21:40 Building trust in healthier relationship dynamics. 25:00 The essential role of anchors in healing. 26:06 Why healing requires relationships, not willpower. 31:43 Finding and cultivating emotional anchors. 35:05 The Wheel of Attachment: A nuanced approach. 37:45 Earning security through supportive experiences. 40:31 Moving toward fulfillment: Real connection and support.   Your Check List of Actions to Take Slow down and take mindful pauses to help connect with your body and increase present-moment awareness. Notice physical sensations during interactions, especially in moments of emotional intensity, to access implicit memories and attachment wounds. Practice developing interoception—your ability to sense internal bodily states—to better understand your emotional responses in relationships. Identify and honor your protective patterns ("protectors") rather than judging them; acknowledge they were there to support you. Seek out safe "anchors" or individuals who can offer emotional co-regulation and support your healing process. Use the "Wheel of Attachment" framework to explore how your early relational dynamics show up in current relationships. If you lack supportive anchors, resource from memories of secure figures (e.g., a teacher, grandparent) or pursue professional support. Engage in relationships and healing spaces where vulnerability, witnessing, and somatic attunement are encouraged, facilitating earned secure attachment over time.   Mentioned Safe: An Attachment-Informed Guide to Building More Secure Relationships Anxiously Attached: Becoming More Secure in Life and Love SAFE (Interview and freebies link) Nurturing the Heart (Dr. Bonnie Badenoch's website) Conscious Relationship Group (Facebook group) (link) Relationship Institute of Palm Beach ERP 342: How Love Transforms Our Nervous System — An Interview With Jessica Baum ERP 276: Understanding The Need For Both Self-Regulation And Co-Regulation In Relationship – An interview With Deb Dana ERP 261: How To Strengthen Your Relationship From A Polyvagal Perspective – An Interview with Dr. Stephen Porges ERP 423: How To Transcend Trauma (And The Effects Experience In Relationship) — An Interview With Dr. Frank Anderson 12 Relationship Principles to Strengthen Your Love (free guide)   Connect with Jessica Baum Websites: beselffull.com Facebook: facebook.com/consciousrelationshipgroup YouTube: youtube.com/@jessicabaumlmhc Instagram: instagram.com/jessicabaumlmhc

Over the last decade, I've watched private equity surge into the machining world — and I've seen firsthand how often the short-term flip-in-five-years strategy ends up hurting shops, people, customers, and entire supply chains. While the capital can help, the incentives often drive decisions that weaken the very businesses PE firms acquire. But every now and then, someone comes along with a model that stops you in your tracks because it actually makes sense for our industry. That someone is Mark Hillenburg, co-founder of Collective Manufacturing Group, a company built on a radically different vision: buy great machine shops and hold them forever. No flipping. No short-term targets. No cultural upheaval. Just long-term stewardship, disciplined investment, and a deep respect for the people who built these businesses in the first place. In this conversation, Mark and I dig into his incredible journey — starting a tiny shop with his father in a 700-square-foot garage, learning machining the hard way, living through major turnarounds, scaling multi-site aerospace manufacturing, and ultimately becoming disillusioned with traditional PE models. His experiences shaped a philosophy that aligns closely with the heart of American manufacturing: protect the legacy, empower the people, and build a business that lasts. We also talk about how his team is already reviving shuttered shops, empowering internal leaders, gaining trust from OEMs, and receiving deal flow from customers who don't want their critical suppliers bought by traditional PE firms. If you care about the long-term health of the machining ecosystem, you'll want to hear this one. Mark's approach gives me real hope for where this industry can go.

I'd be happy if you could help me out.Ja: 実はスタッフが足りなくて。」En: We're actually short on staff."Ja: 一緒に屋台を手伝いながら、二人はお互いの生活について話をした。En: While helping with the stall, the two talked about their lives.Ja: ハルトもまた、都会に出たが、今はここでの生活を選んだという。En: Haruto, too, had moved to the city, but now he chose to live here.Ja: そんな彼の話を聞いて、アイコは勇気をもらった。En: Listening to his story, Aiko felt encouraged.Ja: その日の終わり、二人は彼らの友情を再確認し、村の人々もアイコを暖かく迎え入れた。En: At the end of the day, they reaffirmed their friendship, and the villagers warmly welcomed Aiko.Ja: アイコは自分の居場所を見つけたように感じた。En: She felt as though she had found her place.Ja: 「やっぱり、ここが私の家なんだ」と、彼女は微笑んだ。En: "This really is my home," she smiled.Ja: 収穫祭の日、村全体が笑顔で溢れ、アイコもまた、心からの幸せを感じていた。En: On the day of the harvest festival, the entire village was filled with smiles, and Aiko felt genuine happiness too.Ja: 昔の仲間たちと再びつながることができたのだ。En: She was able to reconnect with old friends.Ja: 彼女の不安も薄れ、新たな生活が始まった瞬間だった。En: Her anxieties faded, marking the beginning of her new life.

In this episode, Dr. Amy Vertrees—general surgeon, coach, and founder of the Boss Surgeons coaching community—dives into one of the most overlooked competencies in surgical training: emotional capacity. Surgeons are taught how to operate under pressure, handle emergencies, and constantly pursue excellence. But very few are ever taught how to feel the intense emotions that come with the job, let alone process and recover from them. As a result, emotional capacity—rather than building over time like technical skill—often shrinks, quietly eroding confidence, performance, and well-being. This episode breaks down what emotional capacity truly is, why it matters, and how surgeons can intentionally rebuild and expand it. What You'll Learn in This Episode • Emotional capacity defined—and why surgeons need it Emotional capacity is the ability to feel, process, and recover from emotions. It is essential for longevity in surgery, yet rarely discussed in training programs that focus almost exclusively on skill and knowledge. • The emotional challenges surgeons face daily Regret, worry, fear, insecurity, and self-doubt aren't signs of weakness. They're part of the job. When they go unprocessed, they create burnout, impulsivity, and emotional blunting. • Why emotional capacity can shrink over time Unlike surgical skill, emotional capacity declines if neglected. Unprocessed emotions accumulate and begin to drive behavior, often without awareness. • How to recognize and name emotions with clarity "You cannot process what you cannot name." Dr. Vertrees shares how using the example of regret during a case transfer can transform shame or resentment into motivation and learning. • Managing intensity without being overtaken by it Surgeons constantly shift between high-intensity events and routine interactions. This requires compartmentalization—but too much compartmentalization leads to emotional numbness. • Breaking the prolonged stress cycle Chronic stress signals the body that it is unsafe. Dr. Vertrees explains how simple techniques like box breathing help return the nervous system to safety and restore capacity. • Releasing unrealistic responsibility Surgeons are trained to "own everything," which often leads to carrying burdens far beyond what is reasonable or controllable. • Reconnecting with yourself Disconnection from one's own needs is one of the earliest and most dangerous signs of burnout. Reconnection is essential for restoring emotional bandwidth. • How to rebuild emotional capacity You'll hear practical strategies including: Identifying and allowing emotions without judgment Creating micro-pauses Noticing the thoughts generating feelings Allowing joy, gratitude, and celebration to expand capacity Understanding that confidence comes from acting with difficult emotions, not from eliminating them • Coaching as a tool for building emotional strength Dr. Vertrees shares how coaching can help surgeons process emotions effectively, reconnect with themselves, and reclaim confidence.

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton get real about what it means to come home—but not really be home. For many first responders, your physical body walks through the door, but your mind and emotions stay behind the badge (Amazon Affiliate). Over time, that distance creates cracks in connection, trust, and intimacy. This episode takes a hard look at the quiet disconnection that happens when your spouse gets the leftovers of your energy—and how to rebuild emotional presence before the relationship hits a breaking point.

There's a kind of energy that looks productive on the outside but feels frantic on the inside. You're moving all day, checking things off, staying "on top of it," but when the house finally goes quiet, you don't feel satisfied—just tired. It's easy to assume the problem is time management, but often what we need most is clarity. Clarity about what matters most. Clarity about what season we're in. Clarity about where our energy is truly needed. When we lose that clarity, it's easy to get swept up in ideas, goals, and endless to-dos that don't actually align with our values. We end up busy, but not purposeful. Productive, but not peaceful. In this episode, I talk about what causes that frantic energy (especially in reentry seasons) and how to slow down enough to find your footing again. You'll hear tools for: Recognizing the difference between meaningful progress and distraction. Learning how to quiet mental clutter and renew your mind. Reconnecting with your vision, so you know what to say yes and no to. Turning that clarity into small, steady action each week. When you know what matters, the noise quiets. You can show up with intention (not perfection) and begin to build a life that you love to wake up to. ✨ Next Steps to Start Thriving Step 1: Create your vision with the Thriving in Motherhood Planner or the Create Your Vision Workbook if you already have a planning system you love.

Guest Dr. Karen Sobel-Lojeski is a pioneer in understanding how technology shapes human connection at work and beyond. She created the award-winning framework, Virtual Distance, a proven and practical set of predictive analytics that target problems and predictably strengthen trust, collaboration, and productivity across remote, hybrid, and in-person teams. As the founder of Virtual Distance International, she has advised Fortune 500 companies, government agencies, and institutions, including Coca-Cola, the US Navy, DARPA, and the World Economic Forum. A trusted advisor, former professor and researcher with affiliations at Princeton's Institute for Advanced Study, Wharton, and the Stockholm School of Economics, she is the author of Uniting the Virtual Workforce, Leading the Virtual Workforce, and The Power of Virtual Distance. Her insights have been featured in Harvard Business Review, The New York Times, Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, NPR, and other prominent publications. She is a sought-after speaker, known for energizing audiences worldwide. She holds degrees in Computer Science and Applied Mathematics from SUNY Albany and a Ph.D. from Stevens Institute of Technology, where her dissertation, Virtual Distance: A New Model for the Study of Virtual Work, won the Best Dissertation of the Year Award. Summary In this follow-up conversation, Dr. Karen Sobel-Lojeski—creator of the concept of "virtual distance"—discusses how technology continues to shape, and often erode, human connection, particularly in education. She defines virtual distance as the measurable sense of separation people feel despite being physically close, a phenomenon driven by technology-mediated communication. The model comprises three layers: physical distance, which has the least impact on outcomes; operational distance, representing the day-to-day barriers to smooth communication; and affinity distance, the emotional and relational disconnect that most strongly undermines trust, learning, and collaboration. Dr. K and Jeff revisit ideas they first discussed during the COVID-19 pandemic, when schools shifted to remote learning. While educators solved many operational challenges, they largely ignored the emotional and social costs—students' inability to connect, play, and learn together. Dr. K likens this to Isaac Asimov's story "The Fun They Had," a cautionary tale about robotic education devoid of joy and connection. The discussion shifts to current policies that restrict cell phone use in schools. Dr. K argues these measures, while well-intentioned, misidentify the real problem. Locking up phones doesn't undo decades of cultural conditioning around technology. Students' sense of self and connection has already been rewired; removing the device without addressing underlying social and emotional needs merely produces deprivation, not engagement. She urges educators to prioritize relationships, empathy, and social learning—what she calls "reconnecting to our direct experience of being human." AI, she warns, intensifies virtual distance by outsourcing creativity and meaning-making. Ultimately, she calls for a cultural and educational rebalancing that centers human connection in an increasingly digital world. The Essential Point Technological fixes—whether online learning, AI, or banning cell phones—cannot mend what they helped fray: our capacity for human connection. True learning and creativity depend on empathy, direct experience, and social bonds.

Losing a Father to Addiction and Finding Purpose with Angie Nunez | The Hopeaholics PodcastIn this episode of The Hopeaholics Podcast, guest Angie Nunez shares her deeply personal journey of loss, healing, and spiritual awakening. Born and raised in the Bronx to Dominican parents, Angie reflects on her upbringing, cultural roots, and the challenges of growing up in a tight-knit immigrant family. She opens up about losing her father to addiction after his long battle with opioids and cancer, revealing how his passing inspired her to create her own show, Sins of My Father, to honor his story and shed light on the struggles of addiction and generational pain. Angie speaks candidly about her grief and the process of finding strength through self-awareness, spirituality, and faith. She discusses how her spiritual journey helped her reconnect with her father's memory, embrace her shadow self, and release shame through forgiveness and understanding. The conversation also explores her marriage, motherhood, and her husband's transition from military life to rediscovering purpose through service and compassion with their project A Meal with Humanity, which brings food and dignity to the homeless in New Jersey. Through vulnerability and resilience, Angie's story embodies love, transformation, and the belief that even through loss, healing and light can emerge.#thehopeaholics  #redemption #recovery #AlcoholAddiction #AddictionRecovery #wedorecover #SobrietyJourney #MyStory #Hope #wedorecover #treatmentcenter #natalieevamarieJoin our patreon to get access to an EXTRA EPISODE every week of ‘Off the Record', exclusive content, a thriving recovery community, and opportunities to be featured on the podcast. https://patreon.com/TheHopeaholics Go to www.Wolfpak.com today and support our sponsors.

Whitney answers two listener questions that share a theme: how do you protect your peace while staying connected to difficult family relationships? The first question explores reconnecting with in-laws after a year and a half of no contact—when is it safe to reopen that door, and how do you move forward without reopening old wounds? The second addresses hosting family in your new home when one relative consistently disrespects boundaries and your independence. Both questions wrestle with the tension between honoring your growth and navigating relationships with people who haven't changed. Whitney Goodman is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and the founder of Calling Home, a membership community that helps people navigate complex family dynamics and break harmful cycles.
