Dr. Audra Horney is a licensed psychologist and founder of a thriving private practice devoted to men's mental health. Known online as “the therapist for men,” she helps men untangle the emotional, relational, and cultural pressures that keep them disconnected from their true selves. Her work blends clinical depth with cultural commentary, destigmatizing therapy for men and reframing vulnerability as strength.Beyond her 1:1 therapy practice, Dr. Horney offers therapy intensives and men's retreats, including the upcoming “Drop the Mask: From Protector to True Self” retreat in Moab, Utah scheduled for April 2026. Through her viral social-media presence and weekly newsletter "You've Got Male," she's redefining how men and those who love them think about emotional health, authenticity, and modern masculinity.In this episode, we share a conversation on vulnerability in the therapeutic space and what it looks like to normalize men's mental health in our everyday lives, not just in the therapeutic space.We talk about some ways men may show up differently in the therapy room, the role social media (especially TikTok) plays in normalizing men's emotions, and how anonymity online can actually create space for deeper honesty.We also discuss what it means to balance authenticity and boundaries as a therapist, and how clinicians can advocate for men's emotional wellbeing, while holding space for nuance and understanding.FOLLOW DR.

What if you could stop letting past performance set the limits for what's possible next year?In this episode of Life of And, Tiffany sits down with mentor and recurring guest Brian Kavicky of Lushin to talk about what really keeps leaders stuck: the belief that the past predicts the future. Together, they unpack why incremental goals drain energy, how to set “stupid big” goals that reignite belief, and how to get people around you aligned with the vision instead of just following instructions.They also explore why waiting for the perfect time to start only prolongs anxiety, how to translate goals into team priorities, and what it looks like to connect ambitious vision to daily action through Brian's “goal–how–what” framework.You'll walk away with a framework to:Set goals based on possibility, not past performance.Align your team by connecting outcomes to shared purpose.Turn procrastination into decisive momentum.Use your “cookbook” system to translate goals into daily behaviors.Wish you could talk it out with BK?

Episode Description "I'd love to join the Academy, but I'm already in debt. I can't justify spending more money right now." This is one of the biggest objections I hear, and I get it, I've been there too. But if you're in a tough financial position, this episode is going to completely flip your mindset and show you why being in a hole isn't a reason to freeze, it's the exact reason to move. Most people wait until they feel financially safe to invest in themselves, but that feeling may never come if you're drowning financially. You're not lazy, you're scared. And that fear keeps you stuck in the same cycle that got you here in the first place. The truth is, the cost of doing nothing is far more expensive than you realize, and most people aren't calculating what inaction is actually costing them. In this episode, I break down the real math behind waiting, share the story of Miranda (who went from working three jobs with sweaty palms to landing a $500,000 dream job in Hawaii), and explain why the Academy isn't just an expense, it's a path out of your current situation. Episode Timeline & Highlights 0:00] – The biggest objection: "I'm already in debt" [0:33] – The emotional trap of waiting until you're ready [1:16] – Pattern recognition: What separates wealthy from broke mindsets [1:41] – The hidden cost of inaction (and why $100K in savings is losing you $6K annually) [2:19] – Real numbers: Average students find $24,000 extra per year in cash flow [3:22] – Why "I can't afford it" is really about not trusting yourself [4:29] – What Academy students actually get: The automated financial roadmap [6:05] – Students with debt pay it off 28 months faster than expected [7:01] – Reframing affordability: It's about priorities, not bank balance [8:43] – Miranda's transformation: From three jobs and anxiety to $500K dream life [10:14] – Why the moment you feel least ready is when you need to leap Key Takeaways The Cost of Inaction Is Higher Than Investment: Our average student finds an extra $2,000 per month in cash flow, which compounds to over $1 million in 17 years. Fear Keeps You Stuck in Patterns: Pattern recognition separates wealthy individuals from those who remain broke. The same cycle repeats until you take action. Debt Doesn't Disqualify You: Thousands of students have joined with debt and become debt-free faster than they ever imagined possible. Quotables "You're not lazy. You're scared. And that fear keeps you stuck." "The longer you wait for your finances to get better on their own, the more time goes by. And time is money, and time is compound interest." "Sometimes the moment you feel the least ready is the exact moment you need to take the leap of faith."

"You just need more self-care."That's what I kept hearing when I was burnt out, seeing 30+ clients a week, barely breaking even. I tried bath bombs, meditation apps, yoga breaks. None of it worked.Because the problem wasn't my self-care routine. It was the business model.In this episode, I'm dismantling the 7 lies that keep therapists overworked, underpaid, and stuck in unsustainable practices. The toxic narratives about burnout, pricing, marketing, and what it takes to build a therapy practice that doesn't destroy you.Here's what I cover:Lie #1: "If you're burned out, you're just not cut out for this work" — Why burnout is a business design problem, not a character flawLie #2: "Good therapists don't talk about money" — How pricing shame keeps therapists broke and resentfulLie #3: "You need to work at the pointy end of the spectrum to be a good therapist" — Why helping people flourish is just as valuableLie #4: "You have to be beige and invisible" — Why your personality is your competitive advantageLie #5: "Marketing is sleazy and unethical" — Reframing ethical marketing as informed consentLie #6: "If you just keep pushing through, it'll get easier" — Why waiting isn't a strategyLie #7: "Wanting more means you don't care" — Dismantling the false binary between money and integrity

Today's live clears up three big themes that keep people stuck:Centralisation is good news—leg pain retreating to the low back usually means you're reversing the sciatica process. Don't “elephant-walk” your spine into more flexion to chase flexibility while it's healing.Relief that helps vs hurts—use massage gun, hamstring work (with a neutral spine), towel/bed decompression, and contrast bathing to manage end-of-day stiffness while you build strength. Skip the knee-hugs/rounded-back routines that tug on healing tissue.Exercise is the safest part of your day—with strategy + tutorials, squats/hinges are safer than the uncontrolled loads of daily life. If someone says “no squats,” ask how you're meant to stand up from a chair.We also cover hydrotherapy logistics (why the trip can provoke more than it helps early on), how to sit through a theatre show (recline/towel + fidget), home-gym buys (adjustable dumbbells/vests), nerve symptoms timelines, walking as a relief “micro-pump,” and more.Start here → https://backinshapeprogram.com/start/Highlights:

How to identify and rewrite the limiting beliefs holding you back.Achieving what you want in life doesn't just hinge on what you believe about your future. According to Muriel Wilkins, it has just as much to do with what you believe about your past and present.Wilkins is an executive coach, author, and host of the HBR podcast Coaching Real Leaders. In her new book, Leadership Unblocked: Breakthrough the Beliefs that Limit Your Potential, she explains how our personal and professional blocks often stem from our own limiting beliefs about ourselves. “A belief is a story that you tell yourself,” she says, “It is the operating principle that is driving your behavior and the decisions you make.” Before we can take actions that will lead us to where we want to go, we have to uncover these hidden beliefs. Otherwise, Wilkins says, “We'll come back right to where we started. It's not just about what we do, it's about what we think about what we do that makes all the difference."In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Wilkins and host Matt Abrahams explore the three-step process of uncover, unpack, and unblock — Wilkins' method for identifying limiting beliefs, understanding how they might be shaping our behavior, and updating narratives to align with who we actually want to be.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:Muriel WilkinsMuriel's Book: Leadership UnblockedEp.102 Create a Presence: How to Communicate in a Way Others Can FeelEp.98 Give It to Me Straight: How to Give Honest, Constructive Feedback  Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:17) - The Seven Limiting Beliefs (04:43) - Three Steps to Becoming Unblocked (07:57) - Rethinking Values and Success (09:12) - Healthy vs. Toxic Productivity (11:56) - The Power of Mindset and Reframing (14:32) - Reverse Engineering Your Goals (17:41) - Managing Emotional Investment (21:21) - The Final Three Question (27:42) - Conclusion ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.This episode is brought to you by Babbel.

Ask David: What's the best way to do Positive Reframing? Is the "20 Qualities I'm Looking for in an Ideal Mate" reliable?  And, How can I tell if someone I'm dating is REALLY honest, loyal, and faithful? The answers to today's questions are brief and were written prior to the show. Listen to the podcast for a more in-depth discussion of each question. Julia asks: is it more important to do positive reframing on feelings (anxiety, anger, frustration) rather than on specific thoughts («I should be calmer»)? Charlotte asks: What's the best way to use the "20 Qualities I'm looking for in an ideal mate?" Charlotte also asks: What's the best way to find out if someone you're dating is going to be loyal, faithful, and honest?   Julia asks: is it more important to do positive reframing on feelings (anxiety, anger, frustration) rather than on specific thoughts («I should be calmer»)?  Dear David and Rhonda, I listened today to the Podcast 460 on The fear of Happiness. What a wonderful podcast! I love the deeper dives on one topic and especially when you focus on discussing positive reframing. If Rhonda felt like she didn't do her best on the podcast, I definitely was struggling a lot even on coming up with positives for Thomas. And It's been some years since I positively reframe my feelings! Here is my question: Why is it more important to do positive reframing on feelings (anxiety, anger, frustration) rather than on specific thoughts («I should be calmer»)? I always find it easier and more helpful for myself to positively reframe the specific thoughts rather than the feelings. I specifically see the reason why a thought is both serving me and saying something so awesome about me and my core values. It usually elevates my mood and my overthinking on the spot. On the other hand doing it on feelings is also very helpful but can remain sometimes on the general level. It still speaks truly to me and I confirm every value but is less poignant than specific thoughts. Thank you both so much for such a wonderful podcast! All the best, Julia from Italy David's Response Thanks, will add this to the next Ask David list. Great question! One thing to keep in mind is that you can do Positive Reframing on anything: a thought, a distortion, an emotion, a behavior, and more. So, the answer is, "it all depends!" On the podcast, we can try to figure out what it all depends on, so we have a systematic way of thinking about this great question. But part of the answer will be, "whatever works for you." The PR of a thought is more specific and unique to you, so that's a plus for including thoughts along with some of the feelings. The feelings are great because they are relatively easy, if you know how to PR them, and the impact can be enormous and, of course, beneficial. Warmly, david Charlotte asks: What's the best way to use the "20 Qualities I'm looking for in an ideal mate?" Is this tool reliable? Charlotte also asks: What's the best way to find out if someone you're dating is going to be loyal, faithful, and honest? Dear David and dear Rhonda, I love the Podcast so much! It has come with me the last 2 years almost every week and its been incredibly helpful both as a therapist to be and as a human being doing this crazy thing called life! You two put so much of your heart into it and I am beyond grateful for all your hard work and what you give to all of us for free every week of the year. I don't know where I would be without TEAM and what I know for sure is I never wanna live without TEAM and this beautiful community of kind, funny and big hearted people anymore. Big thanks to both of you and Matt May and all the people who agreed to publish their personal work. Those episodes are extra special for me and always help me overcome my own struggles even more! Hugs from Berlin, Germany Charlotte I also have a question regarding your episodes around Dating. OMG I can't tell you how helpful they were for me. I am going through a pretty painful break up right now and these episodes gave me so many tips for my future endeavors of dating to find a life partner! So, I would be more than thrilled about another or more podcasts going through that topic! I have two questions regarding Dating that came up for me along the way: There is this sheet I use often and was mentioned called "20 qualities in a partner." I love this and rated all my exes in hindsight and also people I dated e.g. my then boyfriend. My boyfriend got a way higher score than my exes at the time and now that we are broken up I reviewed that list. Knowing what I know now the score changed quite a bit which confused me a lot. Now I am wondering how reliable this list is especially if you don't know the person very well in the beginning. How do you handle this list when you're on your first date--let's say--and barely know that person? It's hard to rate someone on availability, loyalty, honesty and so forth when you don't know them yet?! Is there a trick you can do to find that out quicker and do you recommend to review that list after every date and see if you can rate them more realistically now? My second question is a bit similar. How can you slowly find out how trustworthy, empathetic, honest, loyal, faithful a person is? Interestingly enough since my score on both anxiety and depression is 0 for most of the time the last 2 years, I had two bad experiences in dating. Both my partners were unfaithful and dishonest about it. Which is interesting for me because my two long term boyfriends were at a time, I was struggling with anxiety and both of them were very loyal, warm, faithful and very much involved in our relationship. So, I feel like my anxiety motivated me to choose very carefully and now that I am doing really good in life and love being by myself and don't need a relationship anymore but want to have a life partner and marry eventually I kind seem to choose more poorly when it comes to partners. I hope my questions make any sense! Warmly, Charlotte David's response Thanks Charlotte. I'll add these to our upcoming Ask David recording. Great questions on dating, one of my favorite topics! Warmly, david Thanks for listening today! Rhonda, Matt, and David

Episode Summary: In this episode of The Advancing Women Podcast, Dr. Kimberly DeSimone explores the science and social conditioning behind women's emotional sensitivity, and reframes it more accurately…as a strength, not a flaw. Research shows that women, on average, have lower baseline serotonin levels than men; but the story doesn't end there. This biological difference interacts with hormonal cycles and cultural expectations to shape how women feel, respond, and are perceived. Dr. DeSimone reveals how emotional responsiveness, so often dismissed as being “too emotional”, is actually a powerful form of emotional intelligence, leadership, and adaptive strength. From boardrooms to families, women's ability to read the room, sense tension, and lead with empathy is not “soft,” it's strategic. This episode offers both a scientific and empowering reframe that helps us honor our depth, protect our energy, and lead from emotional authenticity without apology. In this episode, you'll learn: Why women's serotonin levels affect emotional sensitivity — and what that means for mood and connection. How cultural conditioning distorts emotional intelligence into “overreaction.” The “gendered emotion hierarchy”, and how bias defines which emotions are labeled as strength or weakness.

Neurodivergent Marketing is a real-talk conversation with Myriam Martinez for neurodivergent entrepreneurs who want marketing that fits their nervous system. We unpack why masking turns marketing into performance and how overload and pace create the real friction. We name the trust breakers (pain-poking, fake "live" webinars, countdown panic) and offer humane swaps: "signpost" instead of lead magnet, "people who clicked" instead of conversions, and publishing prices, totals, and time needs before any call. Expect consent-led sales calls, boundaries as care, and Neurodivergent strengths—detail, patterning, honesty, creativity—as positioning superpowers so people can choose with bodily safety, time, and agency. The outcome: a sustainable, sovereign, and humane way to market. In this episode we discussed: How many of us discover neurodivergence through our families and feel relief naming it. Why masking in life makes "performing" in marketing extra exhausting. That overload and pace are the core friction—not a mindset issue. How old marketing norms (pain-poking, fake "live" webinars, countdown panic) violate trust. Reframing jargon into human words: "lead magnet" → "signpost," "conversions" → "people who clicked." Why transparency matters: publish prices, totals, and time needs before any call. How ND strengths—detail, patterning, honesty, creativity—become positioning superpowers. That buyers need bodily safety, time, and agency to choose. Why consent-led sales calls beat scripts and simulation. Boundaries as care: limited meetings, clear hours, recovery time after stimulation. Embracing your wiring (not fixing it) reduces anxiety and increases sustainability. A hopeful future: a rising generation that won't tolerate manipulation and leads with sovereignty. Watch this episode on YouTube -- Speaker 0: miriam, it's good to have you back. welcome to the humane marketing podcast. Speaker 1: sarah, i'm so happy to be back on your podcast. Speaker 0: back in my house. right? we just yes. it's just like having a conversation in my house. yes. Speaker 1: yes. exactly. Speaker 0: yeah. so you've been on the show before, but this time we decided to talk about neurodivergent marketing, which is something that i'm super excited about and especially to talk about it with you, um, because you went through this own little transformation and awakening or how would you call it? yeah. Speaker 1: i mean, it's an awakening or rediscovery, you know, in a way of who i am, who i really am at my core, and how that impacts everything that i do. Speaker 0: yeah. yeah. because we, uh, worked together a few years back. and back then, it was very much focused on women and well-being, the work that you were doing. and so tell us a little bit how that has changed over the most recent months, year. Speaker 1: yeah. so like most adults, it started with my kids' diagnoses of adhd and becoming more curious about it. you know, i'm a therapist, so i i'm i always understood the diagnosis. you know, i understood it in that way, maybe, like, in a more removed way. but once it was in my home, you know, and i was really living with it, i obviously became much more curious about it. you know? and then it turns out that, you know, my husband is adhd, and it's like, oh, look at them. they're like two peas in a pod. you know? um, and so i started doing more training around this because i wanted to be more supportive for people around this. and quickly, i started to see some traits, you know, show up for me. and for me, it's a really interesting cross between autism and adhd, which there's a term that's floating around out there called adhd. and that's not a diagnosis. right? but it just reflects that there's this cross between these two worlds sometimes. and, you know, we're learning all the time about neurodivergence, you know, and how it shows up and it's so different for everybody. Speaker 0: yeah. yeah. thanks for sharing your story. and it kinda went very similarly for me. like for the longest time, we, you know, didn't know, uh, what my son was experiencing. and for i first thought, well, introvert like, back in the days, we just talked about introverts, extroverts. yep. and then all of a sudden this term hsp came up and i discovered, oh, i'm a highly sensitive person. and so i thought, oh, that's probably what he is as well. and and and then, you know, as it kept as we kept discovering more and, you know, thank god we have so much information out there now and youtube videos and all of that. it's it's so helpful. i don't know. well, i guess that's a big reason why back in the days it wasn't discovered. right? i'm pretty sure my dad is autistic, but how would he have known if if there wasn't that much content out there and diagnosis? and and so, yeah, learning it about my son that he's on the spectrum and then pretty sure my husband is too. and and so just, yeah, finding out more and more and and then working with clients who have adhd or, um, you know, our hsps, neurodivergency. and so i think i couldn't think of a better person than you to have this conversation around marketing because that's really what we worked on together as well. and, like, just i remember your expression of frustration around this thing that we call marketing and and how it just, like, your brain was, like, going against it and you're like, no. Speaker 1: in all the ways. yeah. i could not process it. Speaker 0: yeah. exactly. so if we if you maybe think back to that time, but then also just to generalize, what do you think like, why is marketing the old way of marketing? right? why is that so counterintuitive for, uh, people on the neurodivergent spectrum? why do they react like you did? whereas, like, i just don't get it. why would we do this like that? Speaker 1: right. right. no. exactly. um, it's it's multilayered. right? because when we're talking about neurodivergence, we're talking about a variety of different disorders and diagnoses. right? so that could include autism, adhd, dyslexia, dyscalculia, which is, you know, having a hard time with numbers or number concepts, dyspraxia, which is having a lot of uncoordination in your body, right, tourette's. i mean, there's such a list that falls under neurodivergence. so when we talk about these generals, i wanna make sure that i put that disclaimer out there that it's not necessarily applicable to everybody under that umbrella. but that in general, really what it comes down to is sensory overload. like, it's just too much. it's too and and then pace. it's too fast. it's too fast moving. we can't process. i mean, which which is how i started this conversation. right? i was like, i can't process this. it was too much. it was too much. you know? and what's hard when you are experiencing neurodivergence, but you don't know that that's what's happening is that you're comparing yourself to the neurotypical world, which is looking at you like, what's the big deal? yeah. i don't understand what your problem is. Speaker 0: mhmm. Speaker 1: right? and so i really struggled with my self esteem around my business, for myself. like, can i even do this? because i can't do these things. i'm having a hard time. it's you know? and then you have people telling you it's a mindset issue. you know? and it's like, no. i literally can't understand this concept. right? so it's so much of it is that sensory piece, like i said, and just it's too fast and short deadlines and pressure. and it's just not something that works with the neurodivergent nervous system. we're much more sensitive than that. Speaker 0: yeah. yeah. and what i experience also from, you know, when i hear back from clients is is this authenticity piece. so as we know, uh, there's a lot of masking that needs to happen for or not needs to, but is happening for neurodivergent peoples in order to fit in. right? Speaker 1: it's part of survival. Speaker 0: and yeah. exactly. and so and so it almost seems like, well, they have to wear this mask all the time to survive, to fit in. and so they are kind of, like, revolting against having to wear this mask as well in the marketing field and in the business field. it's just, like, so exhausting to to do that. Speaker 1: it's so exhausting. yeah. absolutely. and and i do think that it it's it's 10 times more exhausting when you don't know what's going on. you know? so a lot of the work that i do with adults, right, is help them see that they are probably under this umbrella. right? and we start looking at some of their behaviors, right, and their patterns. and then quickly together, we can identify, oh, yeah. it looks like maybe you're adhd or it looks like maybe you fall under autism or, you know, whatever it is. or maybe there's more than one thing going on, you know, adhd with dyslexia. right? dyscalculia is something that's, you know, relatively new in terms of, um, of a term that's used out there. right? and for me personally, i mean, i think i i'm a i i might have cried when i heard that term. you know? it was like, oh, right. so it's not that i'm dumb. it's not that i'm not a, quote, unquote, math person. like, my brain literally has a hard time processing numbers and number concepts just like a dyslexic can't see letters in the right form. it's the same. Speaker 0: yeah. and here we are, you know, in marketing, keep telling people to not the numbers so much, but the the content i'm thinking of, like, keep creating all this content. well, you know, uh, if you have dyslexia, writing and reading is definitely not part of the things that you enjoy doing. and so, again, if you compare yourself to the neurotypical people, you're you start to think, well, what's wrong with me? how can i how can how come i can't do this? Speaker 1: that's right. and then that really interferes. right? you can see how then that really starts to interfere. yeah. 100%. and for me, in marketing, there's always a lot of talk about budget. Speaker 0: mhmm. Speaker 1: yeah. and then just the word sends my nervous system into a state, you know. and if you start talking to me about budgets or asking me or start talk throwing any kind of numbers at me in any way, my brain will just completely shut down. Speaker 0: yeah. yeah. yeah. Speaker 1: it just won't it just won't let it in, and you'll probably see a really blank look come across my face. Speaker 0: yeah. but just or or even, like, conversion rates. right? how does that make you feel? Speaker 1: so scary. so scary. Speaker 0: yeah. it's all these metrics, like the the linear linear and kind of like Speaker 1: yeah. that's really, really Speaker 0: masculine way of of doing marketing was all based on on numbers and conversions and Speaker 1: right. Speaker 0: yeah. roi is another one of those terms. you're like, uh. Speaker 1: yeah. Speaker 0: yeah. totally. and if Speaker 1: i hadn't discovered this, i i might have given up. i might have just said, i guess this isn't for me. Speaker 0: yeah. Speaker 1: or or i guess i'm just i can't do it or i'm not good at it. Speaker 0: yeah. Speaker 1: right? Speaker 0: so so let's turn it around then. like yes. what kind of, you know, strengths do neurodivergent people have and can bring to this idea of business building and and marketing and and connecting and communicating, really, because that's what we're talking about. Speaker 1: yeah. i know. i love this part. this part gets me really excited, you know. but i think that, you know, again, a little mini disclaimer is that sometimes the strengths are, like, they're double edged swords. sometimes they also create stress. you know? so for example, one thing that, um, neurodivergence bring is a lot of, um, focus on detail. Speaker 0: mhmm. yeah. Speaker 1: right? and pattern recognition. Speaker 0: mhmm. Speaker 1: and being able to take that information and then create a concept. you know? um, and that's amazing. that's an amazing skill, you know, when it's applied well. and and then we might focus too much on a detail. right? or go Speaker 0: down a little bit. to procrastination as well because it needs to be perfect into every detail. Speaker 1: yeah. and, you know, i wanna i wanna separate those two things because perfectionism is more under the category of anxiety. mhmm. right? and so when we're dealing with, um, neurodivergence, we we are also experiencing things like anxiety. so it becomes much more challenging, right, when we're dealing with these multiple layers at the same time. you know? but i do think that if we can keep looking at the at what the strengths are in this, you know, like, really deep focus. right? directness and honesty. you know? we don't really like small talk or anything that's not deep, essentially. right? and we'd have a hard time not being honest. Speaker 0: yeah. Speaker 1: you know? it really becomes a moral dilemma. and so that's those are things that i think are really beautiful about, um, people under the narrow neurodivergent umbrella. right? there's also the creativity Speaker 0: mhmm. Speaker 1: and out of the box thinking. Speaker 0: yeah. very much so. mhmm. and i think that's what you really played into it. right? it's like because you have that creative part of yourself and you've figured out how do i bring that to my marketing. i remember back in the days when you used to follow, you know, the these, um, kind of templates of creating canva visuals. yeah. it just all looks the same. let's be honest. right? Speaker 1: yeah. yeah. Speaker 0: and then all of a sudden you started to bring in your art and, you know, more of your pictures and you could tell, wow, she's really having fun with this. and that's the that's the creative side. um, yeah. so much Speaker 1: so for me, i have to change some of the terms. right? and and it kinda maybe speaks to, like, how we market to neurodivergent folk. you know? because if you use the word conversion rate, then my heart rate goes up, and i'm gonna have a shutdown. right? but if you say, how many people, right, or this many people clicked on your site, and then this is what happened after that, then i got it. i can totally follow that pattern. right? so it's again, sometimes the wording, sometimes, uh, too much of a relationship to mathematical concepts or overwhelm, overload. right? that kind of a thing. Speaker 0: basically, concepts that society accepted as being marketing concepts and ideas. Speaker 1: mhmm. Speaker 0: and that you are like, who said that was a concept? like, explain it to me what that means in in, like, full sentences. Speaker 1: yeah. which is very much a lot in the autism range. yeah. you know, like, we really want to know the detail. how did we get there? i really wanna understand the the process. right. right. and then i can really integrate the information. Speaker 0: right. yeah. i get it. yeah. yeah. what i noticed myself doing a lot, um, on the blog is taking some of these old paradigm terms, uh, from marketing, like lead magnet. right? most people have heard of lead magnets. but what does that even mean? like, it's such a weird kind of term where we're sucking people in with a magnet. and so turning that into signposts where we are guiding people to to make a a buying decision, for example, or to come into our world. but i find that i need to use the old word and then juxtaposition it to the new words so that, you know, i can help make that that journey over the bridge, like, to to help people understand, yeah, this is maybe what you've heard, but it doesn't feel good. and so here's an alternative. here's a different word for it. Speaker 1: mhmm. mhmm. Speaker 0: so, uh, i i hear from you that that's helpful. right? like, coming up with new language around marketing that what and then prompts our nervous system as well. Speaker 1: that's right. and so much of the self care is, like, being able to notice that something does create agitation for you. right? and rather than question it or put yourself down for it, it's like, okay. it's just that my nervous system is not liking this for some reason. let's see what what i can do about that. right? Speaker 0: right. Speaker 1: yeah. Speaker 0: yeah. like, what other things that you have experienced in in business? like, let's think about sales, for example, uh, where you feel like there's been a certain norm. again, these norms. right? that, uh, neurodivergent people are like, i don't get these norms. like but there are some kind of norms. like, let's take a a sales call, uh, that feels very scripted, uh, where you are on the call and you you can cut you've like, what my son always says, he's like, feels like we're in a simulation. not necessarily in a sales call, but i'm sure he would say that if the person just kinda goes blah blah blah through the sales script. and you're like, is he even talking to me? like, is this is this for real? like yeah. Speaker 1: do you Speaker 0: have any other kind of business concept things that you feel like, yeah, that's just not for neurodivergent people. Speaker 1: oh, yeah. i mean, let's start with the scarcity countdowns. Speaker 0: uh, yeah. yeah. Speaker 1: right? what my body does with that is it shuts down. Speaker 0: creates so much anxiety. right? Speaker 1: yeah. absolutely. you know? and for some people, it it it will work, so to speak, you know, quote, unquote. it will create such stress in someone that they'll that they'll buy the the coaching package or, you know, whatever it is. but that's kinda icky. right? and it's the opposite of humane marketing. so that those kinds of things, you know, are not for the neurodivergent. i don't think they're for anybody, but that's my personal opinion. you know? yeah. Speaker 0: my opinion too. Speaker 1: that's why we're here. yeah. right? Speaker 0: another example that comes to mind i don't know if that is still happening, uh, out there. but back in the days, they would have these webinars, huge webinars with tons of people only in the chat. and then they would pretend it's live where it's actually not live. and i would, like, wanted to scream and say, Speaker 1: can't you Speaker 0: guys see that it's not live? like, we know. we're not stupid. we're we know this is not live. yeah. and and yeah. like, i i really just think the bs, uh, meter for neurodivergent people is is, you know, on a different level. Speaker 1: tolerance for it. Speaker 0: zero tolerance for Speaker 1: for and we can smell it from a mile away. Speaker 0: yeah. yeah. you know? and there's that transparency and truth telling. right? Speaker 1: yeah. 100%. Speaker 0: 100%. Speaker 1: and so i think that for, uh, neurodivergent folks, like, when they're in business and they're trying to, you know, work on their marketing and their sales, everything about their business just needs to feel safe, you know, in their body. and if it feels a little icky or if it's there's something there, it's like it's really an an invitation to pause and check out what that might be about because you might be going down the path that is not gonna work for you. Speaker 0: yeah. mhmm. like, right now, we were talking about from the marketing perspective, and then there's also from the buying perspective. and that's what you were addressing. it's like, how do i want to buy? how that how does it how should it feel in my body, uh, to to want to buy something and make a, you know, a a buying decision? i think what we're addressing is obviously the healed neurodivergent person. and what i'm seeing out there is is kind of this manipulation of the not of the non healed neurodivergent people where there's even more stress applied. and you you kind of mentioned that as well. right? and so they're buying out of anxiety. Speaker 1: that's right. Speaker 0: um, but then if you are the healed neurodivergent person, how how is that an integrity with what you're actually selling? right? yeah. Speaker 1: uh, to be honest, i don't even know what that means because neurodivergence is not something you heal or fix. Speaker 0: true. um, i guess it's just knowing having looked at it. like, would you say that someone who knows so whether it's an official diagnosis or just, you know, having looked at it more deeply, are they more able to deal with this anxiety because they Speaker 1: i mean, it's very it's often very relieving for people. i mean, especially for the adults i work with. right? because most of us have grown up thinking that we're we're not smart or not good enough or, you know, we're dumb at math or, you know, whatever it is. like, all these stories because you were not operating in the same way as other people. so oftentimes, when i work with clients and we move into this looks like a possible diagnosis for you, there's a lot of relief. there's a lot of like, oh, is that why that was so hard? or is that why i couldn't read? or is that why math is hard? or is that why socializing exhausts me? or, you know, whatever it is, it's like it becomes like this unraveling. right? and there's a lot of, you know, there's emotion to that. there's grief and, you know, that kind of a thing. but, you know, once you really embrace, like, this is who i am and you learn to work with your particular flavor, right, of neurodivergence, i i think that you can be very successful at just about anything. i don't, you know, i don't see why i should stand in your way. Speaker 0: and i guess that's what i meant by healed. you know? you just, like, learn who you truly are. and i think that's when you start to say no even more to the things that are not aligned with you. where before, like, what i'm seeing with my son, it's like, well, the pressure from the neuro normal side of the world is so hard that, you know, there's there's more push to know to just have to do what everybody else is doing, and then the anxiety, of course, goes up. and so if if i take this to the marketing thing, it's like, if you have not yet figured out truly who you are and and, you know, really stand with with that, then there's a big risk that you are feeling this anxiety every time you're being sold to or have to market. mhmm. so i guess that's where that pivot is. it's like, no. i'm not taking it anymore. i'm doing marketing my way, or i'm not buying from people who are trying to manipulate me and, you know, push me into scarcity and stuff thing things like that. Speaker 1: absolutely. manipulate me in any way. you know? i mean, one of the things that in general is kinda scary about the coaching world specifically is that it's it's so much based on pain point marketing, you know, and tapping into people's anxiety or stress or whatever it is that's going on and offering some kind of quick fix. Speaker 0: you know? Speaker 1: and it's like it's so unethical when it's so wrong because that's not the way human beings work. Speaker 0: no. yeah. totally. Speaker 1: no? yeah. Speaker 0: yeah. talking about this this coaching world, um, and and these pain points, that's another one of these words that need a a reframe. right? Speaker 1: absolutely. Speaker 0: because, yeah, that's what the old marketing is based on. it's like, let's make the pain points so bad. uh, you know, let's make you feel so shitty that you have to buy my solution. yeah. Speaker 1: it's like it's like it's like pouncing on a little innocent animal or something. you know, that's how how it feels for me. yeah. you know? yeah. no. absolutely not. terrible. Speaker 0: another thing is the the pricing, uh, discussion. yeah. and i think there is also this really need for transparency. can you speak to that? Speaker 1: 100%. that is absolutely necessary. you know, it's kinda what i was saying before even for myself. it's like, i want to know all of the data. Speaker 0: yeah. Speaker 1: and i want to know that, like, for myself on my own terms so that i can process it on my own. right? so if somebody doesn't have any pricing on their website, i will likely not work with them. Speaker 0: mhmm. yeah. Speaker 1: because i need that information upfront. otherwise, i will feel a little anxiety maybe, you know, about the possibility that if i get on a call with you, you might do some of these unethical things or things that just don't work for me and my body. right? like, now you're gonna talk about pricing, and now i have to do it right now, and i'm gonna get all anxious and Speaker 0: no. yeah. Speaker 1: i'm i'm very clear about that part. so, yes, for i think for neurodivergent folks, we want we want all of the information, as much information as you can give us, and then we can make our decision. Speaker 0: yeah. and give me time to make this. Speaker 1: need time. that's right. i don't need pressure. none of that will work. Speaker 0: yeah. yeah. yeah. Speaker 1: none of that will work. Speaker 0: yeah. in in a way, to me, neurodivergent people are, like, super smart, very conscious human beings. and the old way of marketing is taking people for stupid, really. it's like, oh, i can, you know, trick and sleaze you and you will never notice what i'm doing. and neurodivergent people are like, no, i'm not having this at all. Speaker 1: yeah. yeah. yeah. that book is awesome. it's a superpower. Speaker 0: yeah, it really is. and in a way, you know, there's to me, there's no surprise that we're seeing more and more neurodivergency because we're really heading into this time of of of sovereignty of each individual being very, very individual, very authentic and very sovereign and and like showing up with that sovereignty and and, yeah, being able to make our own decisions, not just for buying stuff, but for for everything. and i think that's a very yeah. it's a beautiful vision of the world to to think of humans like that. Speaker 1: mhmm. no. i agree. meeting each other on that place. right? Speaker 0: yeah, exactly. and having sales conversations in that kind of, um, yeah, with with that basis is a completely different thing than, like i, uh, mentioned before where, you know, i just read a script and don't even care, you know, if we've talked before or whatever. so right. it's just Speaker 1: or i look at you like dollar signs. Speaker 0: oh, yeah. yeah. that's another one. right? Speaker 1: and it's like, i i can't i can't do that. Speaker 0: yeah. yeah. Speaker 1: i just, like, i physically can't do that. i have to look at you as a person, you know, and and just show you what i have and then give you that agency, you know, to decide whether this is the right fit for you. Speaker 0: yeah. mhmm. yeah. sovereignty, agency, beautiful words. Speaker 1: mhmm. yes. yeah. so no pressure, you know, from me. Speaker 0: yeah. what about, you know, other boundaries that you have learned to set for yourself as an entrepreneur, as a marketer, maybe, but but just, yeah, finding that inner peace and being being able to keep showing up without anxiety? Speaker 1: yeah. well, i mean, i think that it could kinda goes back to what i was saying before. right? that to me, the word that comes up is embrace. right? it's not fixed. it's embrace. embrace that this is how your nervous system is wired. right? this is how you were born, and this is how you operate in the world. right? because when we resist, right, it creates tension and stress and anxiety. and i know that's not easy and it takes time, but i think that that's, you know, step one is accept that this is who you are. right? except that, you know, for me, it's like, oh, i don't really want a lot of loud noises or i have to be careful about how much time i spend in group environments or, you know, how much time am i spending in front of my computer or how much time am i spending outside. it's like all of these things around my sensory stuff, my particular version of it and what that looks like for me. but i think that having a lot of boundaries is really important because we need so much more time to recover yeah. of things. Speaker 0: yeah. yeah. Speaker 1: mhmm. and giving yourself permission to do that. this this is literally a physical thing that is happening to you. and if you push your body past that, that typically doesn't go well. creates more stress. you know? Speaker 0: exactly. it's creating that spaciousness, uh, for you to be human because you are, yeah, a unique human being who has unique needs. yeah. and that's the whole Speaker 1: and you yeah. and you are the only one that can decide, like, what your level of care needs to be. yeah. you're the only one convinced by that. you know? what are your office hours? when do you respond? you know? what are your boundaries with people in your business? what are your boundaries with yourself? Speaker 0: yeah. it actually starts with yourself because otherwise, you're not walking your dog. Speaker 1: right? exactly. exactly. but i think that's the best way that we can, you know, take care of ourselves. and and sometimes we have to, you know, kinda like what your son was saying, it's really hard because sometimes we have to explain these things to people. you know? like, because somebody might look at me and go, but what's the big deal about another evening meeting this week? Speaker 0: yeah. i get that all the time. Speaker 1: yeah. and it's like, well, basically, my head feels like it's gonna explode. Speaker 0: yeah. Speaker 1: so that's a no for me. Speaker 0: yeah. Speaker 1: right? in my body, i do not feel the capacity, the energy at all to do it. yeah. and i will pay a consequence for that. i might, like, be out for a couple days just laying laying around, staring at a wall or something. mhmm. mhmm. just to recover. like, less of, uh, decreasing my stimulation just to be able to recover from overdoing, overstimulating myself. yeah. Speaker 0: let's wrap up with something like positive, a positive outlook on how yeah. the world would look differently if we had all this humane marketing led by neurodivergent people. Speaker 1: that sounds great. businesses according Speaker 0: to the new rules by neurodivergent people. that would not feel look like. Speaker 1: uh, that just makes my heart sore, you know, just to imagine that, you know, because if sensitive people around the world right? and if if our skill set of thinking things through slowing down, you know, really taking the time to make a decision, you know, an informed decision that's rooted in, like, how it feels for you, like, my goodness. the the the possibilities are endless of how the world could change. Speaker 0: it's so different. right? Speaker 1: and i do think that, you know, what gives me hope, you know, in the present is that this next generation of kids and young people have all of this information at their disposal. so my hope, right, is that this generation can grow up not feeling like they're dumb or like there's something wrong with them, that they'll just own that as part of who they are from the very beginning. right? which is the opposite of what i see with so many adults. Speaker 0: you know? Speaker 1: so many of the adults i work with, and we're talking ceos. we're talking big people that are like, oh my goodness. is this what's been going on all this time? you know? but they grew up feeling less than or feeling like they had to mask or feeling like they had to work 10 times harder than everybody else, you know, push themselves. you know? that's just thing. and and they're really feeling the consequence of that Speaker 0: yeah. Speaker 1: in their bodies, in their lives. Speaker 0: mhmm. Speaker 1: so that's one thing that gives me hope, you know, is that this new generation, it's like, wow. you guys have all of that in your little hands. that's amazing. Speaker 0: yeah. and, also, like, they're just not having it. they're like they look at us, see what we created, and they're like, i'm not having that, that, that. Speaker 1: so why would i do that? Speaker 0: yeah. yeah. like you said, that that gives us lots of hope. yeah. Speaker 1: because there's much more permission. Speaker 0: yeah. yeah. well, i think we need to continue this conversation in episode two around just kinda like today, we talked a lot about marketing. maybe we can just talk about entrepreneurship for neurodivergent people because there's a lot of, um, people out there who are, you know, really bringing these new concepts, new ideas. and i think it'd be interesting to continue the conversation. Speaker 1: i think it's actually a really important conversation to have. Speaker 0: yeah. well, for now, why don't you share with people how you work with them, where they can find you, and all of that? Speaker 1: yeah. so, you know, i work both with individuals and groups and organizations. right? so with individuals, it's about, you know, understanding their neurodivergency and if there's any, you know, obstacles related to that, like feeling less than, feeling not good enough, feeling like you have to over perform, you know, whatever the behavior is that, um, interferes, we really look at that and address that so that people can live with, you know, ideally less stress and just feeling better in general about life, you know. and with groups and organizations, i really love to bring in the inclusion component of having neurodivergent folk in your organization because one in four people falls under the neurodivergent umbrella. that's a lot of people. yeah. right? so if you're looking at your organization and and it's hard because it shows up as communication issues a lot of the time or, you know, things that look like performance issues in in an organizational environment when really this person is just struggling with some kind of neurodivergence. and when that's addressed, then they can go they can become a peak performer employee just like everybody else. yeah. yeah. people can find me on my website. they can look for me on linkedin. i'm also on instagram. you know? so and please and Speaker 0: your website is myriammartinezcocoaching.com. correct? Speaker 1: it is. yes. thank you. mhmm. and, yeah, please don't hesitate to reach out around any anything related to neurodivergent. Speaker 0: wonderful. well, to be continued. yeah. thanks so much for, yeah, sharing this. it was amazing. Speaker 1: thank you, sarah.

The Demographic Need: Reframing Migration as an Economic Resource and Dismantling Exclusionary Borders.Gaia Vince discusses how humans are a migratory species that evolved in Africa and colonized the entire globe through movement. Historically, the US and European nations have used policies of brutality and cruelty to restrict movement, with many current border restrictions being recent. Vince highlights the current economic paradox: societies encourage the flow of goods but limit human labor, their largest economic resource, with some economists estimating that removing borders could double global GDP. A critical component of managing migration is investment: financial investment to expand northern cities and social investment in accepting that migrants are not "bad people" and promoting inclusivity. Furthermore, the global north faces a demographic crisis, as most developed nations are not producing enough babies to support their elderly populations, making immigration the necessary solution. 1953

In this episode, Kelly Wilson explains how to move from avoidance to acceptance: a new way to live with anxiety. He delves into how our vulnerabilities show us what matters to us, and that the goal isn't to win a war inside. It's to keep coming back to the next honest action that moves you towards what matters. That is at the core of acceptance and commitment therapy. Not chasing perfect feelings, but choosing the next right move towards your values, again and again.Exciting News!!!

Body Love Binge Q&A with Julia - Fear, Fullness & Fat PhobiaIn this Q&A episode, Julia and I answer real questions from the Body Love Binge community. We dive into acting in alignment with your values, overcoming the "clean vs dirty" fullness association, panic zones in recovery, seeking external validation, and why guilt hits harder after eating.Key Quotes from the Episode:

Kit Krugman, SVP of People and Culture at Foursquare, joins to unpack what it really means to be a systems thinker in people leadership. She explains how to move beyond process for process's sake, design people systems that actually work together, and create the kind of vibrancy that drives both performance and connection. This is a conversation about how to think, not just how to operate—ideal for anyone building or leading modern people functions. Key Takeaways • Systems thinking helps people leaders see the entire ecosystem, not just isolated policies or tools. • Moving from process-driven to principle-driven decisions builds trust and consistency without bureaucracy. • Change management requires deciding between incremental evolution and disruptive redesign—both have a place. • Performance cultures thrive when feedback is continuous, candid, and clearly tied to outcomes. • Measuring "vibrancy" and connection creates a more meaningful signal than traditional engagement metrics. Timestamped Highlights [01:52] What systems thinking really means for people and culture leaders [04:32] Why principles should outweigh policies when designing fair organizations [08:39] How to balance incremental versus disruptive change [13:01] The "post-PIP world" and diagnosing root causes in performance systems [17:12] Reframing engagement as vibrancy—and how words shape culture [25:34] Why people leaders must show strategic value instead of waiting for recognition Memorable Moment "I'm tired of the narrative that HR needs to be recognized as strategic. It's on us to show it—to build the evidence that we're driving massive value." — Kit Krugman Pro Tip If everything feels like it needs a new process, pause and map the system. The issue might not be the process—it might be the underlying philosophy or misaligned signals across your tools, policies, and people. Call to Action If this conversation challenged how you think about people systems, share it with a fellow leader and follow The Talent Tango on Apple Podcasts or Spotify. Every episode explores how people, impact, and technology come together to shape better workplaces.

Today we're exploring the skill that ambitious, anxious brains often resist: self-compassion. You'll hear attorney Mark Goldstein's candid story of OCD, depression, panic attacks, and the leave of absence that helped him rebuild a career and a life with support, therapy, mindfulness, and (yes) compassion. Then, Dr. Kristin Neff, pioneer of self-compassion research, teaches practical tools you can use today. We cover how to handle rumination, reframe “perfection” into being a “compassionate mess,” and when to turn on fierce self-protection versus tender care. If you hold yourself to impossible standards, this conversation will give you language, strategies, and permission to be human and still perform. In this Episode, You Will Learn 00:00 Why self-compassion is a performance skill for anxious achievers. 02:00 Learn from Mark Goldstein on perfectionism, OCD, and the billable-hour trap. 05:45 “I couldn't stop checking”: the 2017 spiral and panic attacks. 09:30 When did you decide you needed help and where did you start? 13:00 Taking a leave of absence, the fear of perception, and the reality of support. 18:45 Reframing “weakness” and treating mental health as a disability. 21:00 Dr. Kristin Neff on why our brains default to self-criticism. 23:30 The hack to turn caregiving inward. 25:15 Tips for practical self-talk (authentic compassion, NOT empty affirmations.) 27:30 When to deploy fierce vs. tender compassion and harnessing anger for protection. 30:00 How to stop rumination. 32:15 How to create room for compassion and grow without fear.

Sometimes the most meaningful parts of our creative journey are the detours — the moments when we think we've failed or lost our way, only to realize we've discovered something new. Like a labyrinth, life guides us toward the next best thing, often better than we could have imagined. In this episode, host Ekaterina (Kat) Popova sits down with Nishant Jain, also known as The Sneaky Artist, to talk about curiosity, permission, and finding beauty in the everyday. Nishant shares how writer's block led him to a thriving art practice, how he built a loyal global community through Substack, and why keeping secrets and creating privately can reignite your passion. If you've ever questioned your creative direction or struggled to share your art meaningfully in the digital age, this conversation will remind you that detours are destiny — and that creativity doesn't have to be loud to be powerful.

In this episode, we speak with Matthew Ridley, Director of Sustainability and Innovation at the oneworld Alliance, who shares the story behind the groundbreaking $150 million Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) fund launched in partnership with the alliance's member airlines and Breakthrough Energy Ventures (BEV).Ridley discusses:The alliance investment advantage: How pooling resources across oneworld members creates access to world-class venture capital expertise, superior deal flow, more diverse portfolios, and geographical networks.Breakthrough Energy's unprecedented value: Why partnering with BEV provides access to talent airlines struggle to attract, plus synergies with investments in nuclear fusion, energy transmission, and geologic hydrogen.Next-generation focus vs. current needs: How the oneworld BEV fund targets technologies that can take aviation beyond 5-10% SAF adoption to truly change the trajectory of decarbonisation, complementing existing investments.Breaking the alliance mould: How oneworld moved beyond traditional codeshares and interlining to tackle “initiatives of scale”, and how they attracted Singapore Airlines to join despite not being a oneworld member.Reframing aviation's challenge: Why the problem isn't aviation itself, but rather the emissions from jet fuel, the only aspect of flight that hasn't changed since the Kitty Hawk.Ridley also shares insights from his seven years building IAG's Hangar 51, where he led first-mover investments in ZeroAvia and LanzaJet, and explains why SAF isn't a transition fuel but rather a permanent solution once emissions are addressed.If you LOVED this episode, you'll also love the conversation we had with Pasha Saleh, Head of Corporate Development at Alaska Airlines, who shares how the airline is investing in sustainable aviation technologies to achieve its ambitious climate goals.

It can be frustrating when people do things we don't want them to do. A friend cancels plans at the last minute. A child refuses to get dressed for school. Before long, our resentment builds, and we're tempted to issue more rules, reminders, and consequences. But the techniques we use to get people to alter their behavior are often strikingly ineffective. This week, psychologist Stuart Ablon explains why these methods fail, and offers better ways to help the people we care about make lasting change..If you love Hidden Brain, join us for an upcoming live show!

Functional healing isn't about bouncing back, it's about becoming more whole. In this episode of Trauma Rewired, Elisabeth Kristof and Jennifer Wallace are joined by somatic expert Veronica Rottman, founder of Soma School, to explore what happens when post-traumatic growth deepens into post-traumatic wisdom. Together, they unpack how healing often involves grief, identity shifts, and surrender, not just resilience and strength. You'll hear how emotions are constructed in the body, why dissociation and fawning are intelligent survival responses, and how safety is rebuilt through slow, titrated somatic experiences. We discuss how cultural narratives about “getting stronger” can overlook the body's need for modulation, rest, and relational repair. You'll learn how capacity building is nonlinear, why co-regulation and oxytocin-based safety cues matter, and how tending to wounds rather than fixing them can transform pain into embodied wisdom. Join us for a workshop, taking a deeper dive into Hormones, Stress and the Female Nervous System, combining applied neuroscience and somatics to support female cycles: https://neurosomaticintelligence.com/female-nervous-system-workshop/   Timestamps: 00:00 Welcome and framing: growth vs. wisdom 05:30 Emotions as predictions and survival patterning 14:00 Dissociation, boundaries, and identity shifts 22:30 Somatic titration, oxytocin, and co-regulation practices 31:00 Capacity, achievement, and health trade-offs 39:30 Reframing fawn and freeze as intelligent responses 47:00 Cyclical needs, rest, and redefining growth 54:00 Integration, tending, and systemic context 59:00 Takeaways and next steps Key Takeaways: Post-traumatic wisdom includes grief, ambiguity, and letting identities evolve, not only resilience. Emotions are constructed from interoception and predictions; safety cues can update those predictions. Small, consistent somatic doses help the system perceive more safety without overwhelm. Fawn and freeze are adaptive; meeting them with curiosity reduces shame and supports change. Capacity building is relational; co-regulation and oxytocin-supportive practices can expand what feels possible.

We can't change what happened—but we can change how our minds hold it. In this powerful episode, Heather McKean sits down with Air Force veteran Matt Jefson, who carried the memory of losing 13 friends in combat for nearly two decades. Through Mind Change, Matt learned how to rewire it—transforming trauma into peace, triggers into awareness, and loss into meaning. Together, Heather and Matt reveal how rewiring the past frees us from reliving it, restores connection, and opens the door to genuine healing. Whether you've faced trauma, loss, or emotional overwhelm, this conversation offers hope and a new way to come home to yourself.What we explore in this episode:

This week we're discussing What to Do When Self-Care Seems Impossible  Solo parents often feel squeezed by nonstop responsibilities, financial strain, cultural pressure to be endlessly strong, and isolation that makes help hard to ask for. “Self care” can even feel like a trigger when planning it adds guilt on top of exhaustion. These pain points matter because chasing idealized me time can keep us stuck. Reframing care as something we sometimes practice with our kids helps restore connection and models healthy boundaries in real life. Today, we cover three main points: Why me time is not always realistic for solo parents How “us care” builds connection and rest at the same time Practical ways to create shared rhythms of care with your kids If “me time” feels out of reach, do not wait for perfect conditions. Choose one small shared rhythm this week, make it simple, and repeat it. Presence is the point. When care becomes something you practice together, home can feel safer for your kids and more restorative for you.

In this episode, Lisa and group coaching alum, Diane, explore her  journey from religiously shaped body image and emotional eating to trauma-informed healing. They discuss the cycles of restriction and shame, leaving a rigid church, identity reframing, somatic practices, mindful eating, acceptance, and setting boundaries. Through the coaching program, Diane learned reconnection, safety, empowerment over control, and differentiating physical vs. emotional hunger, leading to sustainable behavior change and autonomy.Topics Include:Religious UpbringingDiet CultureEmotional Healing Healthy Relationship with Food[0:56] Lisa introduces her former client, Diane, who identifies as a mother of four daughters, separated for over two years after a 28-year marriage, employed full-time, and at peace with current life circumstances. Diane discusses discovering Lisa via Instagram and the podcast and realizing she was missing the mind-body connection, and realizing she was an emotional eater.[07:00] Lisa and Diane dive into her childhood in a legalistic church and school with strict gender roles and dress codes. Diane shares that although she was sheltered from mainstream media, she still received strong body-related messaging within family and church contexts. Diane talks about how she internalized that body size relates to being ‘good enough' and ‘put together,' affecting perceived worth.[13:47] Diane shares with Lisa that she was molested as a child and that she realized later in life, after going to therapy,  that being called to the dining room for dinner felt safe, linking food/mealtimes with safety. Lisa acknowledges the magnitude of this trauma and its under-discussed influence on emotional eating.[18:30] Diane explains that her faith emphasized doing for others and suppressing personal feelings, leaving her without a safe space to express emotions. Lisa validates that lack of safety often leads people to use food for comfort and safety. Diane discusses joining Weight Watchers, counting points, and walking with her mom at the age of 15. Diane shares that despite not being morbidly overweight, she perceived herself as heavier and felt compelled to diet.[30:50] Lisa and Diane discuss how the unfair treatment after the hospital birth of her fourth child, led her to begin questioning her upbringing and church practices. Diane shares how during a family trip to the mountains, she knew she could not return or send children back to church school. Lisa and Diane examine how other diet programs can provide useful nutrition literacy but often entrench perfectionism and good/bad food dichotomies.[51:39] Lisa and Diane discuss her journey to the Out of the Cave group coaching program and how an early module helped Diane reframe her thinking to ‘I am a soul, I have a body,' catalyzing significant perspective change and reconnection. They discuss how this reframing identity fosters self-compassion and opens a path to address emotional roots of eating.[1:12:43] Lisa and Diane talk about the lessons she learned during the group coaching program that have helped her learn to cope with her feelings and make different decisions in learning to feel her feelings and choosing herself. Lisa and Diane wrap up the episode by discussing how the program's permission-based eating avoids shame and restriction, fostering empowered choices aligned with bodily signals.*The views of podcast guests do not necessarily reflect the views and beliefs of Lisa Schlosberg or Out of the Cave, LLC.⁠Purchase the OOTC book of 50 Journal Prompts⁠⁠Leave Questions and Feedback for Lisa via OOTC Pod Feedback Form ⁠Email Lisa: ⁠lisa@lisaschlosberg.com⁠⁠Out of the Cave Merch⁠ - For 10% off use code SCHLOS10Lisa's Socials: Instagram⁠ ⁠Facebook⁠ ⁠YouTube⁠

Episode Highlights & Time Stamps 1:28 – Patterns of CEO Life 2:31 – The Importance of Vision 5:20 – Revealing Blind Spots 7:09 – Resetting Priorities 8:49 – Reframing Perspectives 9:25 – Realigning Your Team 10:56 – The Value of Coaching Understanding CEO Coaching & Overcoming Overwhelm In this episode, I delve into the true essence of CEO coaching and its transformative impact on both business performance and personal leadership growth. Many CEOs feel overwhelmed, pressured by endless tasks, and trapped in habits that don't serve their long-term goals. I discuss why working longer hours isn't the answer and emphasize the importance of letting go of lower-value work to focus on what truly drives impact. We begin by examining the first steps of coaching, identifying what a client genuinely desires for their business. Establishing a clear vision is critical, as it not only sets direction but also aligns the team. Without a well-defined objective, leaders often operate reactively rather than proactively. Through coaching, we identify these gaps and develop strategies that align with genuine aspirations. Revealing Blind Spots & Resetting Priorities A key focus of coaching is uncovering blind spots that hinder growth. Many CEOs struggle with patterns of impatience, control, or other behaviors that limit both personal and organizational progress. Through reflective questioning, leaders gain insight into these hidden challenges, enabling them to break unproductive patterns and accelerate growth. We then explore resetting priorities, helping leaders determine what they are truly optimizing for, whether financial growth, innovation, or team development. Each leader's journey is unique, and coaching provides a tailored approach to focus energy on the highest-impact areas. Additionally, we discuss the importance of reframing challenges, demonstrating how shifts in perspective can reveal new opportunities and solutions that were previously obscured. Realigning Teams & Embracing Change Growth often requires realigning teams. The people who helped build the business may not always fit the vision for the future. Coaching provides guidance on having difficult conversations and making courageous decisions that strengthen alignment toward shared goals. I share stories from my coaching experience that show how realignment can transform team dynamics and drive substantial business growth. Throughout the episode, I emphasize that maintaining the status quo won't propel leaders to the next level. By embracing change, identifying blind spots, and making strategic adjustments, CEOs can achieve faster progress, reduced stress, and greater clarity. I conclude by inviting leaders to explore my personalized coaching programs, designed to help operators evolve into visionary CEOs. These sessions provide practical tools, mentorship, and actionable insights to unlock leadership potential and accelerate business success. Key Takeaways Vision before strategy: Growth begins with defining a clear, compelling vision that aligns your entire organization. Awareness precedes change: Recognizing control patterns, impatience, or outdated habits is the first step to transformation. Prioritize for impact: Identify what you're optimizing for, financial success, innovation, culture, and align your efforts accordingly. Perspective is everything: Reframing problems often reveals the breakthroughs you've been missing. Team alignment drives results: The people who got you here may not be the ones to take you there, lead with courage and clarity.
