They then go over how it gets you high and how cocaine is different from crack. Asif talks about the effects cocaine can have on the body.

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!
In this episode, we explore how intergenerational trauma shapes attachment patterns and how reflective function (RF) and mentalization can help break the cycle.

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.

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. I share my personal fertility journey—from battling infertility and IVF to welcoming two miracle girls—and why this season feels different. This time, I'm pairing faith with science by using Inito, the at-home fertility monitor that tracks four key hormones for a full picture of your cycle. 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. But more than that, I'll walk you through the biblical perspective that shapes how I use tools like this: stewarding my body wisely, trusting God fully, and remembering that faith and science are not enemies. If you've ever felt like you're missing something or wasting precious cycles, this episode is for you. 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.

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.

The Waiting Well - Infertility, Faith-based Encouragement, Trying to Conceive, Fertility
The two week wait can feel like an emotional battlefield — every twinge, every symptom, every day dragging by with anxious questions. But what if these 14 days could become holy ground instead of anxiety ground? In today's episode, I share my own experience with the two week wait, biblical truth that brings lasting peace, and 5 practical tools you can use right now to calm your spiraling thoughts, anchor your heart in God's character, and breathe again in the waiting. Whether this is your first cycle or your fifteenth, God has purpose in these days. You don't have to white-knuckle your way through them. You can walk with peace, surrender, and hope that doesn't disappoint. ✨ Plus, I'm sharing an exciting announcement about my brand-new mini course, Peace in the Wait — created just for women in the two week wait after ovulation, IUI, or IVF. If you're longing for daily encouragement and structure to stay grounded in truth, this will bless you deeply.

Have you ever wondered how different life could feel if you were able to pause, step back, and coach yourself through challenges as they arise? In this episode we explore the practice of self-coaching, what it really means, how it works in everyday life, and why it is such a powerful tool for personal growth. As coaches, one of the greatest benefits of our training has been learning how to develop our own inner coach. This isn't about striving for perfection or trying to be a “superhuman.” Instead, it's about cultivating awareness, curiosity, and reflection in a way that allows us to step out of our experience long enough to gain a fresh perspective. We talk about the cues that signal when it's time to coach ourselves, from moments of emotional intensity to times of great joy when we want to understand how to recreate that feeling. Jo shares how she has learned to notice when she is “in something” fully absorbed in an experience and how to hover above it, reflect, and gently question “what's happening for me”? We explore a wide range of reflective questions that listeners can add to their own self-coaching toolkit, from belief-based and emotional check-in prompts, to deeper existential reflections. We highlight the importance of differentiating between genuine self-coaching and overthinking, and we talk about the need to balance reflection with action. Most of all, this conversation reminded us that self-coaching is about the relationship we choose to build with ourselves. Do we want to give energy to our inner critic, or nurture our inner coach? The quality of the questions we ask ourselves often determines whether we stay stuck or move forward. Whether you are a coach yourself or simply curious about bringing more reflective practice into your life, this episode offers both insight and practical tools to help you grow. Timestamps 00:47 – Why self-coaching matters when resources are limited 01:16 – Reflection and noticing: stepping outside your experience 03:04 – Core coaching elements that underpin self-coaching 04:31 – The myth of needing to self-coach all the time 05:25 – Learning from moments of joy and success 06:21 – Coaching methodologies that support self-reflection 07:46 – Expanding your self-coaching toolkit with powerful questions 09:14 – Emotional check-ins and boundaries 13:50 – Testing possibilities and taking small, safe steps 16:04 – Self-coaching vs overthinking: how to spot the difference 17:25 – Radical personal ownership and accountability 19:20 – Success criteria for effective self-coaching 20:17 – Choosing between your inner critic and your inner coach 21:11 – Our invitation for you to reflect, review, and share Key Lessons Learned Self-coaching is grounded in reflection, presence, and awareness, noticing when you need to step back and explore your experience differently. It is not about being “on” all the time; sometimes the most powerful growth happens when you simply sit in the messiness of life. The quality of the questions you ask yourself matters more than the complexity, simple, courageous questions often lead to the deepest insight. Emotional check-ins, belief exploration, and reflective questioning can help uncover hidden patterns and create space for new choices. Self-coaching requires balance between reflection and action; growth happens when insights are followed by meaningful steps forward. Developing an inner coach strengthens your relationship with yourself and can transform the way you navigate challenges.

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.

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.
