If you've been feeling the tension between what you have to do and what you're called to do… this episode is for you.

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/  On this episode, I'm joined by Dr Jan Eppingstall to unpack how our possessions connect with our sense of identity and self-concept, and why letting go can feel so threatening for those of us who hoard. We talk through how objects hold meaning, memories, and dreams for the future, and what it looks like to build a stronger sense of self without clinging to things. If you've ever felt like discarding something meant losing a part of yourself, you definitely want to listen to this one. We break down exactly why that fear happens and where to start. A plant pot associated with negative experiences. Discussion of emotional and aesthetic reasons for keeping vs. discarding. Objects “glowering" at us. Identity and Self-Concept in Hoarding Definition of identity and self-concept. Possessions and Sense of Identity The psychological process of possessions intertwining with identity. How this differs from typical sentimental attachment. Retention itself (rather than use or display) as a meaning-making act in hoarding. The difference between identity (roles, characteristics, life story) and self-concept (beliefs about self, worth, and abilities). Typical patterns seen in people with hoarding disorder: fragmented identity, externalised identity via objects. Psychological Fusion Between Identity and Possessions The concept of "identity objects" — how discarding items feels like losing part of oneself. Objects as external proof and storage for identity, memory, and meaning. Safety of objects over human relationships. The cycle of validation and shame in hoarding. Pathways to Possession-Identity Fusion Childhood experiences and boundary violations leading to control needs. Identity confusion and external markers for self-definition. Psychological ownership: objects as self-extension. Functions of retained objects—proof of past, present, and future self. Anthropomorphism and obligations to objects. Executive function challenges: objects as external memory aids. Perfectionism and fantasy identity protection. Influence of cultural materialism and marketing. The Fear of Losing Identity When Discarding Objects "Throwing away part of myself." Three psychological routes for ownership: control, intimate knowledge, and personal investment. The role of control and avoidance of uncertainty. The painful admission of poor judgment (e.g., unworn clothing) when discarding. Possessions as Identity Markers Retaining items from past roles (retired teachers, old job materials). Holding onto objects representing hopes for future identity. Objects as evidence for important life chapters, relationships, or personal history. Psychological needs these objects serve and when that becomes problematic. Books as Proof of Intellectual Identity Discussion of books held as evidence of being intellectual, regardless of actual reading. Exploration of how objects can become substitutes for action and risk. Therapeutic approach to shifting identity building from possession to action. Community and Connection in the Hoarding Journey The loneliness and isolation frequently felt by people who hoard. The importance of community, connection, and peer support, including podcast listeners and accountability sessions. Effects of increased openness and connection on identity. Identity Shifts During Dehoarding and Recovery Changes in identity during the process of recovery and letting go. Building new narratives — sometimes research or recovery itself becomes an identity. Increased connection and belonging through shared experience and vulnerability. Maintaining Identity Without Excessive Possession Strategies for building identity through actions, creativity, and lived experience. Selecting representative or truly meaningful items rather than keeping everything. Observing how "non-hoarding" individuals make decisions about sentimental items. Discomfort and growth opportunities in sharing one's journey while still in progress. The value of authenticity and vulnerability. First Steps for Listeners Fearing Loss of Self Through Discarding Acknowledging that fear is rational and understandable. Suggesting mindful observation of attachment thoughts. Testing beliefs by gentle action, e.g., creative tasks with what is already available. Finding supportive people for accountability and encouragement. Reflective work on personal values — building identity from the inside. Reassurance that identity predates possessions and is not dependent on them. Objects as scaffolding rather than the core of one's identity. Encouragement to trust oneself and to start building stability from within.

For this episode, we welcome back Professor Brendan Cropley, and since we're no longer in the grip of Covid restrictions, we can actually meet face to face this time!Brendan works at the University of South Wales where his background is in sport psychology, and his particular specialism is reflective practice. Digging a little deeper into the specifics this time, we wanted to look at what the world of sport makes of reflective practice, and what that world can tell us over in education. Brendan's got lots of clear, straightforward things for us all to think about (which is why we like to book him to speak to our students whenever we can!) and hopefully there's something for everyone in here. —————————Recorded in studio D0.12 at Cardiff Metropolitan University's Cyncoed Campus on 22nd July 2025

Beloved, The words you use every day might be quietly shaping your reality.It bleeds into every area of your life. Language isn't just a tool for communication—it's a force that can bind you to self-doubt, limit your choices, or even strip away your power without you noticing.Over time, the original meanings of words have been distorted, weaponized to divide, control, or diminish us.This leaves us stuck, speaking from survival rather than sovereignty, often without realizing the spells we're casting on ourselves.Your entire experience of reality is nothing more than a web of meanings, associations, and stories you've told yourself about what happened and what's happening now. The specific set of definitions and verbiage you use to describe who you are, what you've experienced, and what you're experiencing are dictating you're reality.HOW DO WE DISRUPT Your subconscious mind that controls 99% of your perception of reality and allow your conscious mind to step back into agency?I'm thrilled to introduce a LIFE CHANGING launch!

Grandparent Alienation - Navigating Challenges with Tutors In Episode 352 of the Counselling Tutor Podcast, your hosts Rory Lees-Oakes and Ken Kelly take us through this week's three topics: Firstly, in ‘Ethical, Sustainable Practice', we explore the nuances of switching supervisors, including when change is necessary and how to manage transitions ethically and professionally. Then in ‘Practice Matters', Rory speaks with Dr. Suzanne Degges-White about the deeply emotional issue of grandparent alienation – a growing concern with long-term implications for clients and families. And finally, in ‘Student Services', Rory and Ken address how to navigate challenges with tutors, a topic frequently raised by students facing difficulties in training environments. Talking Honestly About Switching Supervisors [starts at 03:15 mins] This section explores when and why counsellors might consider switching supervisors and how to approach this decision ethically and with confidence. Key points discussed include: Changing supervisors is a natural part of a counsellor's development and not a sign of failure or disloyalty. Repetition without growth, lack of freshness, or misalignment in specialisms can indicate it's time for a change. A managed ending ensures continuity of supervision and safeguards ethical standards. Discussing the transition with your current supervisor can lead to supportive and mutual decisions. Paul Cullen, Counselling Tutor's supervision correspondent, shares insights on how supervisors and supervisees can navigate this change with openness and courage. Reflective questions can help assess supervision fit, such as: Is this relationship still supporting my professional growth? Grandparent Alienation [starts at 36:04 mins] In this week's ‘Practice Matters', Rory speaks with Dr. Suzanne Degges-White, who shares her research and clinical insights into grandparent alienation – when grandparents are cut off from contact with their grandchildren. Key points from this conversation include: Grandparent alienation often arises from fractured relationships between adult children and their parents. Political differences, perceived abuse, and societal changes are common triggers. The loss experienced is often ambiguous, ongoing, and filled with grief and shame. Children also suffer developmental and emotional consequences when denied access to grandparents. Therapists can support clients by validating loss, helping reconstruct identity, and working with meaning-making and boundaries. Intergenerational healing is possible through empathy, family therapy, and creating new ways to maintain symbolic connections.

In this episode, we explore how intergenerational trauma shapes attachment patterns and how reflective function (RF) and mentalization can help break the cycle. Drawing on research from Fonagy, Slade, and Berthelot, we examine how trauma-specific reflective functioning influences disorganized attachment and how therapies such as Mentalization-Based Therapy (MBT), Transference-Focused Psychotherapy (TFP), and Minding the Baby (MTB) strengthen reflective capacity and promote secure attachment. Join Dr. David Puder and colleagues as they discuss the science of mentalization, attachment repair, and trauma healing, bringing together psychoanalytic, developmental, and biological perspectives to offer hope and clinical insight for patients, parents, and therapists alike.

If you've ever seen a faint positive line on a pregnancy test—only to start your period days later—you're not alone. What you experienced may have been a chemical pregnancy, one of the most common and heartbreaking forms of early miscarriage. In this episode, Courtney gently walks you through what a chemical pregnancy is, why faint lines sometimes fade, and how to process the emotional and spiritual weight of that loss. You'll learn how to find purpose in the pain, discover the difference between forcing joy and choosing to rejoice, and see how Paul's example of rejoicing in suffering can anchor your heart when life doesn't go as planned. This episode is an invitation to grieve honestly, rejoice intentionally, and remember that God is near—even when the line fades. Whether you're walking through early miscarriage, navigating the uncertainty of TTC, or supporting a friend through loss, you'll leave with biblical truth, gentle encouragement, and hope that heals.

Many South Africans have stories of driving into a cow or hitting a kudu driving at night in rural areas causing extensive damages to vehicles and it can turn into personal tragedy. Motivated by personal loss, a young South African, Memphis Kaotsane started working on a solution to make animals visible at night. He invented Moonshine reflective spray that can make animals visible up to 200 metres away. In an interview with Biznews, Kaotsane said he is now ready to scale to wildlife and cyclists and his vision is to export first to Africa and then further afield. With a homegrown solutions with global potential, Kaotsane is keen to shine a light towards better road safety.

Trying to conceive can feel like a never-ending cycle of guessing, hoping, and waiting. In today's episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on what I'm doing differently as my husband and I begin trying for baby #3.

No more squinting at test strips or relying on app predictions. Inito has given me clarity, peace of mind, and a six-day fertile window backed by real data.

You'll walk away with practical TTC tools, spiritual encouragement, and a reminder that even in the waiting, God is good. ----more---- Try Inito THE Fertility Tool you Need - as shared today, this is the tool I just started using as we begin preparing for conceiving baby 3!!

Have you ever wondered how much deeper your coaching could go if you paused to reflect in a more intentional way? In this episode of The Coaching Crowd, we explore how reflective practice is the often-overlooked skill that truly elevates coaching. While questioning and listening skills usually get the spotlight, it is reflection that helps us to grow as coaches, find closure with clients, and unlock fresh insight. As we spoke, we found ourselves noticing how reflective practice is both a personal and professional discipline. It is not about criticising yourself for what you missed, but instead about compassionately noticing what you learned, how you showed up, and how you can expand your practice. We share a series of reflective questions that you can use for yourself or with your clients, such as: How am I feeling now? How present and attuned was I during that coaching session? What habits was I using, and what new experiments could I try next time? What biases or assumptions might have shaped how I showed up? Together, we explore the difference between reflecting in practice (while in session) and reflecting on practice (afterwards), and how both can help you become more present, more courageous, and more flexible as a coach. We also talk about how reflective practice can happen in different ways, through journaling, walking, recording your thoughts aloud, or even using creative prompts like music and drawing. One of our personal reflections from this conversation was how important it is to approach reflection with kindness. Growth does not come from berating yourself, but from curiosity and compassion. Reflective practice is a muscle, and with practice, it grows stronger. This episode is full of questions and perspectives that will help you deepen your practice, connect with your clients at a deeper level, and continue your journey of lifelong learning.   Timestamps: 00:50 – Why reflective practice matters in coaching 02:12 – Reflecting in practice vs reflecting on practice 03:00 – Using body awareness as a catalyst for reflection 05:21 – Balancing solution-focus with presence 06:47 – The importance of compassion in reflection 08:34 – Exploring habits and courage in coaching 09:52 – The role of client feedback in reflective practice 11:14 – Finding your personal style of reflection 12:36 – Considering bias and self-development 14:25 – Reflection as a muscle to build over time 16:11 – Creative approaches to reflective practice 18:32 – Reflection as an ongoing process rather than quick clarity 19:23 – The role of CPD in deepening reflection 21:19 – Lifelong learning and growth as a coach   Key Lessons Learned: Reflective practice is the foundation for deepening your coaching, beyond questioning and listening skills. Compassion and curiosity are essential, reflection should not become self-criticism. Presence, energy, and body awareness are powerful entry points for reflection. Exploring habits, courage, and biases helps coaches to avoid falling into fixed patterns. Creative methods such as drawing, music, or recording can unlock new layers of reflection. Reflection is not about finding instant answers, but about allowing insight to emerge over time. CPD and lifelong learning naturally deepen reflective practice.   Keywords: reflective practice in coaching, coaching reflection questions, reflective skills for coaches, how to deepen reflective practice, coaching growth, reflective coaching techniques, presence in coaching, self-reflection for coaches, lifelong learning in coaching, reflective practice methods   Links & Resources: Website: igcompany.co.uk

I'm back with another installment of my mini-series Don't Hang Up, where I pick up the phone and call people in my real life (begging them not to hang up!) while I ask them deeply personal questions.This time, I called my mom (who was not thrilled about being on the podcast — sorry, Mom!!) to talk about how she raised three kids who somehow grew up without sibling rivalry or competition and are now true best friends as adults.We talked about what it was like raising twins, how she handled our sibling bickering, the little mantras she repeated that shaped us, and why celebrating our differences was key. She even shared some funny childhood memories (like me making “commercials” in the bathroom mirror) that I'm still cringing about. But I guess the commercials were worth it and led me somewhere fun!It's a conversation about parenting, sibling bonds, and the small, everyday choices that can shape a family for life. Whether you're a parent yourself, a sibling reflecting on your own childhood, or just love a heartfelt family story, you're gonna love this one.Watch this episode in video form on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjmevEcbh5h5FEX0pazPEtN86t7eb2OgX To apply to be a guest on the show, visit luciefink.com/apply and send us your story.

How do we rebuild trust and meaning in a world where certainty and connection are breaking down?   In this episode of The Lectern, John welcomes Kieran McCammon and Jordan Hall to discuss the 'trust apocalypse' and its intersection with the meaning crisis. They delve into the vicious cycle between the loss of trust and the fragmentation of communities, exploring how these issues reverberate through society. Kieran introduces his work on the Trust Foundation, which aims to address these challenges by leveraging collective agency, distributed cognition, and extended distributed labor. John and Jordan bring their expertise to discuss the deeper topics related to trust, faith, and the sacred, and how these concepts tie into addressing contemporary societal issues. They also highlight how we are at a pivotal moment where new forms of technology and community organization could help counteract the prevailing distrust and meaning crisis.   Jordan Hall is a futurist, systems strategist, and cultural philosopher exploring the deep structures shaping human coordination, meaning-making, and collective intelligence. A former tech executive and early internet pioneer, Jordan now works at the intersection of theory and practice, developing frameworks for catalytic communities capable of responding to complex, civilizational-scale challenges. His work emphasizes the collapse of trust-based and certainty-driven systems, proposing instead a reorientation toward spirit-infused participation, sacred purpose, and voluntary necessity. A key contributor to the Trust Foundation, Jordan draws on cybernetics, epistemology, and meta-theory to guide the emergence of post-bureaucratic forms of social coherence and institutional renewal.   Keiron McCammon is a technology entrepreneur and systems thinker whose work addresses the intersection of social trust, digital infrastructure, and collective agency. A veteran of Silicon Valley's early Web 2.0 era, he helped build the foundations of the social internet before turning his focus to the unintended consequences of digital connectivity. As co-founder of the Trust Foundation, Keiron investigates the societal breakdown he terms the "trust apocalypse," analyzing how technological design, institutional failure, and civic fragmentation have eroded our collective sense of meaning and belonging. Drawing on frameworks from network theory, systems thinking, and military innovation, his work catalyzes action-oriented communities aimed at rebuilding trust across personal, institutional, and technological domains.   The Trust Foundation Sunday Labs The Philosophical Silk Road Project   (00:00) – Introduction and excitement for the conversation (00:30) – Introducing Kieran McCammon and the trust apocalypse (01:30) – Exploring the trust apocalypse and its implications (04:00) – Kieran's background and the evolution of trust issues (05:00) – The role of technology and the breakdown of trust (06:30) – The Trust Foundation and catalytic communities (11:00) – The deep connection between trust and meaning (18:00) – Historical context and the collapse of certainty (28:00) – The need for a shared sacred canopy (30:50) – “A catalytic community can't exist without a calling—a sacred purpose that's bigger than any one of us.” (39:00) – Challenges of technology and cross-cultural pluralism (47:30) – Exploring voluntary necessity (49:00) – Certainty vs. trust (50:30) – The breakdown of societal trust (52:00) – The role of technology in trust erosion (54:00) – The attention economy and trustworthy AI (01:02:00) – The concept of abundance vs. scarcity (01:10:00) – Cultivating wisdom and trust (01:23:00) – The spiritual war and meaning crisis (01:27:00) – Call to action: building catalytic communities       —   The Vervaeke Foundation is committed to advancing the scientific pursuit of wisdom and creating a significant impact on the world.

In this episode, Kristina and Anna unpack one of the most deceptively charming villains in the Inner Villain system: the Eternal Child, also known as the Peter Pan archetype. From its origins as “Norman Bates” to the deep dive into J.M. Barrie's surprisingly toxic Peter Pan, this conversation explores how the Eternal Child is rooted in the mother wound, thrives on confabulated reality, and resists the grounded action that real growth requires.You'll hear how this archetype shows up in everyday relationships, the difference between harmless childlike play and destructive immaturity, and why “love bombing” often masks the need to be taken care of. Kristina shares personal stories, literary analysis, and a biting “Am I the Asshole?” example that perfectly illustrates this villain in action.We also explore the Hero form (The Reflective) and the Legend form (The Traveler), and how travel, self-awareness, and facing reality are key to moving out of the Eternal Child cycle.What you'll learn in this episode:How the Eternal Child confabulates reality vs. intentionally gaslightsThe entitlement of “having your cake and eating it too” in relationshipsWhy Peter Pan is a surprisingly dark figure when you read the original storyHow the Eternal Child differs from the Vain Controller (Regina George)Real-life and pop culture examples, from Kanye West to Parks & Rec's AndyPractical ways to recognize and invert the Eternal Child archetypeTake the Inner Villain Quiz: https://www.kristinawiltsee.com Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In this 20-minute episode, Courtney walks listeners through four common TTC tensions—creating embryos (IVF), genetic screening/selection, donor eggs/sperm & surrogacy, and data-driven tracking—without handing out black-and-white verdicts. Instead, she anchors each topic in Scripture (Psalm 139; Job 31:15; Jeremiah 1:5; Proverbs 16:9; Genesis 2:24; Ephesians 5:31–32; Proverbs 3:5–6; Philippians 4:6–7) and offers heart-level reflection prompts to help couples discern before God. You'll pause to journal, check your motives around control vs. stewardship, and hear a testimony of finding peace when science becomes a gift—not a god.   Try Inito THE Fertility Tool you Need - as shared today, this is the tool I just started using as we begin preparing for conceiving baby 3!!

**There seems to be some feedback that I cannot hear on the recording until I have uploaded the podcast. My apologies for the poor quality. I will find the problem and have it resolved by next week.______________________________Join me this week for another episode about faith journeys. James Fowler's stage four is the Individuative-Reflective Faith. This stage can be difficult because it creates, dissonance, requires work and can strain relationships.

Ever feel like the whole world is moving forward without you? Everyone's announcing baby #2… Starting preschool drop-offs… Celebrating milestones you're still praying for. Meanwhile, you're stuck in the same place—same cycle, same ache, same unanswered prayer. In today's heartfelt episode, we talk about the grief that comes from feeling left behind and how to process it with Jesus. You'll hear scriptural truth, emotional validation, and three practical ways to navigate this pain without shame. You're not forgotten. You're not late. You're not alone. ✨ Let this episode remind you: what God is doing in the hidden places of your heart matters more than any milestone you haven't hit yet.  

What if healing isn't the same as getting pregnant? In this powerful episode, we unpack a truth many Christian women overlook during infertility: healing is not always the outcome we expect—but it's always available. Courtney explores what the Bible actually says about healing, why we often chase results instead of Jesus, and how to let God meet you in your brokenness, not just your prayers for a baby. 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.
