If you're exhausted from hoping and still hurting, this episode will meet you where you are—with truth, compassion, and a path toward peace.

In this weekly Sex and Intimacy Q&A, Tami and The Shoeless Therapist Matt Wheeler discuss two types of change – counteractive change and transformational change – and how each one impacts healing. They also consider honesty, manipulation, and lying; and warn listeners of the danger of a partner claiming that they'll never hurt you again.    TAKEAWAYS: [1:57] Defining counteractive change and transformational change.  [4:08] Early recovery almost always includes counteractive change.  [5:33] Honesty is a complicated request. [9:37] Reflective and dissociative lying are learned behaviors.  [11:49] Trusting your gut around lying patterns. [17:20] Lying to set boundaries and allow for self-preservation. [22:32] Is this lie going to hurt my relationship?  [24:40] Counteractive change does not lead to deeper healing.  [29:55] Your partner cannot always be the catalyst for your behavior.  [34:10] Threatening is about control, not about fostering relationships.  [37:28] Trusting your own intuition and getting your needs met. [41:40] How can I handle my betrayed partner's indignation and anger?  [47:05] How can I respond to my partner's promise to never hurt me again?  [53:18] How can I approach my extremely avoidant partner?  [56:07] My cheating partner was never going to tell me the truth.

Real transformative change happens because they love themselves.”  “No relationship is healthy if it's filled with threats.”  “Even if you could prove that acting out didn't occur, that's not the point. Your intuition is telling you that you have needs that aren't being met.”  “You cannot make any choice in life without accepting a loss.”

How aware are you of the silent signals you bring into your coaching conversations? In this episode, we explore the subtle yet transformational role that co-regulation plays in coaching. Reflecting on our own experiences as coaches, we discuss how this often-overlooked aspect of human connection helps to create a foundation of psychological and emotional safety within the coaching relationship. Through this conversation, we reflect on how co-regulation is less about the words we say and more about the energy we bring into the space. It's about how we use our body language, breathing, and tone of voice to invite our clients into a settled, grounded state. It is about offering a felt sense of safety, presence, and acceptance, where a client can relax into being themselves without performance or pretence. We delve into the ways we can notice our own state as coaches, how regulated or dysregulated we are as we show up for our clients. It's not about striving for perfection but about understanding that our nervous systems communicate silently and that presence matters. We reflect on how crucial it is to meet clients where they are and to use our own energy consciously. Whether through slowing down our breathing, adjusting our tone, or holding silence, these are invitations for the client to settle too. The conversation touches on the polyvagal theory and how the nervous system craves connection. We speak about the science and humanity behind why co-regulation creates deeper, more transformative coaching conversations. It's not just about the questions we ask but about the energy we hold. Coaching becomes an oasis, a rare place where clients can breathe and simply be. We share practical ways to cultivate this co-regulation through grounding exercises, breathwork, reflective questions, and conscious awareness of our voice and body language. These seemingly small actions have the power to radically change the quality of connection and depth in coaching.

Scott breaks down why every kid needs to develop social awareness, especially in a world full of screens, sarcasm, and isolation. And he shares practical ways parents can help kids become more tuned in to how they come across to others—without guilt, shame, or awkward lectures. Whether your kid is super social or socially unsure, this episode will give you tools to: Ask the right reflective questions Gently give feedback without shutting them down Model emotional intelligence in your own life Make reflection feel normal (not forced) Because kids who grow in self-awareness and social awareness?

How to Create Psychological Safety in Your Team From Ego to Empathy: Reframing Executive Presence Episode 264 (Richard is based in South Africa) In this conversation with Richard Reid we explore: the true meaning of charisma and why it's more about how others feel than how you appear the role of psychological safety in building trust, influence, and innovation why self-awareness is the foundation of authentic leadership how emotional leakage can sabotage your message and your team culture strategies to reset your internal state between meetings for greater presence how leaders can communicate calm during crises through deliberate body language and speech the power of micro-habits to improve energy, confidence, and communication how reflection and journaling enhance resilience and leadership effectiveness practical routines to prevent burnout and show up as your best self how leaders can foster a growth mindset and create space for others to shine ----- About our guest, Richard Reid: Richard is the author of "Charisma Unlocked: The Science and Strategy to Captivate, Influence and Succeed in Business". He was Chief People Officer at a global law firm. He is from the UK and now lives in South Africa. Learn more about his Masterclasses and coaching at https://richard-reid.com/live-events/charisma-workshops/ ----- Key lessons from this conversation: Charisma is about how others feel, not how impressive you appear. Psychological safety is central to charisma and effective leadership. Charisma starts with self-awareness and managing your internal world. Reflective routines enhance emotional regulation and presence. Effective communication means seeing others as individuals, not objects. In a crisis, calm leadership is conveyed through body language and vocal control. Leaders need to be intentional with their energy and meeting schedules. Small micro-habits, like breathing or posture resets, have a big impact. True charisma is sustainable and rooted in authenticity, not performance. Teams thrive when members feel safe to express themselves and fail forward. ----- ----more---- Your Intended Message is the podcast about how you can boost your career and business success by honing your communication skills.

In this episode, I had the absolute honor of speaking with Dr. Barry Prizant—renowned speech-language pathologist and author of the best-selling book Uniquely Human. We talked about how the field of autism education is shifting away from compliance-based approaches and moving toward more compassionate, relationship-centered models.  Dr. Prizant shared powerful insights about emotional regulation, storytelling, and the importance of truly listening to the lived experiences of autistic individuals. We also explored topics like non-speaking communication, the SCERTs model, and how collaboration among educators and families can create lasting change. This conversation left me feeling inspired and hopeful about the future of autism education, and I just know you will feel the same! Bio Barry M. Prizant, PhD, CCC-SLP is recognized as among the world's leading scholars on autism and as an innovator of respectful, person- and family-centered approaches. He is Director of Childhood Communication Services, Adjunct Professor of Communicative Disorders at the University of Rhode Island, and has fifty years of experience as an international consultant and researcher. Barry has published five books, 150 articles/chapters, and is co-author of The SCERTS Model, now being implemented internationally. He was a two-time featured presenter at the UN World Autism Awareness Day, with more than 1000 presentations internationally. Barry's book Uniquely Human: A Different Way of Seeing Autism (2022) is the best-selling book on autism since 2015, published in 26 languages and ranked by Book Authority as #1 of the “100 best books on autism of all time”. Barry co-hosts a podcast, Uniquely Human: The Podcast, with his friend, Dave Finch, an autistic audio engineer.

His book 'Uniquely Human' emphasizes storytelling and compassionate approaches to autism. Connecting with families and understanding their experiences is crucial for professionals. Reflective practice is essential for educators to improve their connections with students. Changing the narrative around autism is vital for acceptance and understanding. Evidence-based practices must consider the lived experiences of autistic individuals. Understanding autistic behaviors as human responses can lead to more effective support.  Evidence-based practice includes more than just peer-reviewed research. Parents' intuitions should be respected in therapeutic settings. Behavior analytic approaches often overlook emotional and social development. Compliance-based methods can lead to the dehumanization of autistic individuals. Building trust is essential for effective communication with children. Listening to autistic voices is crucial in shaping educational practices.

The art of listening might be the most undervalued skill in our professional toolkit. In this enlightening conversation with executive coach Tim Hast, author of "Powerful Listening, Powerful Influence," we explore why truly hearing others is so challenging yet so essential.Tim shares his journey from trauma counselor to executive coach, discovering that regardless of industry or position, many leaders receive feedback that they simply don't listen well enough. As host Greg Hamlin reveals his own surprising 360-review feedback about his listening skills, we learn that perceiving ourselves as good listeners and actually making others feel heard are entirely different matters.Why do we struggle to listen effectively? Tim introduces us to the concept of HALT (Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired) – conditions that severely impair our ability to focus on others. Even more fundamentally, our natural tendency to make everything about ourselves creates a significant barrier. From childhood, we're conditioned to believe the world revolves around us, making genuine listening a conscious choice rather than our default setting.The heart of the episode revolves around Tim's transformative "R-listening" approach – Active, Reflective, Empathic listening – and his four practical steps anyone can implement immediately: listen patiently, with your body, with your voice, and with your mind. These techniques have the power to revolutionize both professional relationships and personal connections alike.For workers' compensation professionals dealing daily with individuals experiencing trauma, pain, and frustration, these listening skills aren't just nice-to-have – they're essential for building trust, resolving complex cases, and truly serving claimants. The parallels between effective claims handling and powerful listening are unmistakable.Whether you're managing a department, working directly with injured workers, or simply trying to improve your relationships, this episode offers practical wisdom that can be implemented today. As Tim reminds us, when we truly listen, we give others the gift of feeling understood – perhaps the most powerful influence we can have.Season 9 is brought to you by Berkley Industrial Comp.

Brief Description Charisma isn't just for extroverts or performers—it's a scientific advantage that determines how often you're invited, trusted, and remembered. In this episode of Social Intelligence, AJ Harbinger and Johnny Dzubak reveal why people decide how they feel about you before they evaluate your skills, and how this hidden force might be keeping you from the promotions and relationships you deserve. Through the story of their client Brett—a high-performer who was passed over for promotion despite working harder than everyone else—AJ and Johnny break down why being skilled isn't enough when you're perceived as "cold and unapproachable." They share three counterintuitive, science-backed techniques that transformed Brett from invisible to magnetic in both his professional and social circles. If you've ever wondered why colleagues with average skills get all the credit, or why you keep hearing you're "great at what you do" but still feel invisible, this episode reveals the subtle signals of warmth and connection you might be missing.
