In this insightful and milestone 500th episode, Christine coaches Lisa, a woman actively working to recalibrate her nervous system after decades of living in survival mode. Through their work in Christine's Be the Queen program, Lisa has become increasingly aware of how her high productivity and people-pleasing patterns were actually rooted in hypervigilance developed from childhood emotional abandonment and a toxic past relationship. Christine helps Lisa move beyond traditional nervous system tools like breathwork by exploring one of the most overlooked regulators: the mind. They discuss how belief systems, people-pleasing masks, and unconscious behaviors can keep the body in a dysregulated state—even when things look “successful” on the outside. Whether you're a high achiever who struggles to slow down, or someone who feels stuck in a cycle of stress and self-doubt, this episode offers a refreshing look at how mental and emotional honesty are key to calming your system and reclaiming your peace. Consider/Ask Yourself: Are you always “on,” afraid that if you stop doing, your worth might come into question? Do you feel triggered by others' behavior and immediately spiral into old thought loops? Are your validation-seeking habits tied to unresolved childhood wounds or past trauma? Can you give yourself permission to operate from truth rather than performance or perfectionism? Key Insights and A-HAs: Your thoughts and beliefs are major regulators of your nervous system—not just your breath or body. Hyper-productivity often masks dysregulation and old coping mechanisms. Rewriting internal stories like “I'm only worthy when I produce” helps calm the system long-term. Nervous system regulation isn't about doing less—it's about doing from a place of grounded self-worth. You can't fake authenticity; regulating your system starts with radical honesty about what's true for you. How to Get Over It & On With It: Begin your day by asking, “What do I really feel right now?” before reacting from habit. Use mental inquiry tools like Byron Katie's “Is it true?” to deconstruct spiraling thoughts. Notice when you're chasing outcomes or approval and redirect into curiosity or creativity. Instead of defaulting to performative politeness (like saying good morning out of obligation), check in with your body and ask what's real for you in the moment. Remember: It's not always about doing less—but doing from a regulated, authentic place. Sponsor: Beam Struggling with sleep?

Today, we're diving into the world of AuDHD – a unique neurotype that combines both Autism and ADHD. This blog post will unpack why your brain might feel sluggish, how overstimulation can quickly spiral, and how sensory overload interferes with communication. We'll also take a closer look at Polyvagal Theory, a scientific concept that explains how your body reacts to stress – and why that reaction feels so intense for those of us with AuDHD. And don't worry – we'll finish things off with practical strategies to manage sensory overload, all backed by research and neuroscience.Processing Speed in AuDHD: Slowed But Not StoppedLet's kick things off with processing speed – the ability to take in information, understand it, and respond. For those with AuDHD, this doesn't always happen at lightning speed.Autistic processing speed: Many autistic individuals describe their thoughts as moving through molasses, not because they're slow, but because every detail stands out. In fact, research shows that autistic adults consistently perform slower on cognitive tasks, such as symbol search or coding tasks, than their neurotypical peers. This isn't about intelligence – it's about how your brain allocates attention. When the brain is processing a million sensory details, it has fewer resources to devote to thinking and responding.ADHD processing speed: ADHD adds another layer. People with ADHD often experience something called "sluggish cognitive tempo," meaning their minds wander, feel foggy, and take longer to complete tasks. This is especially true when there are multiple steps or a need for quick reactions. ADHD brains struggle to process quickly when distracted by the world around them.When you combine autism and ADHD – AuDHD – the challenges multiply. An AuDHD brain might analyze one piece of a problem deeply (a strength), but then struggle to move on to the next step. Or you may find yourself mentally fatigued after filtering distractions for just a few minutes. The result? Mental fatigue and frustration. Think of trying to work on a puzzle while the TV is blaring, someone's talking to you, and the dog is barking. Your brain is juggling too much, so everything takes longer.The takeaway: Processing speed can feel slow in AuDHD, but it's not about being “slow” – it's about the brain working harder to process sensory information and complete tasks.Sensory Overload: Why Everything Feels Like Too MuchNext, let's talk about sensory overload. For many people with AuDHD, everyday environments can quickly become overwhelming. The world feels too loud, too bright, and too busy.Research points to sensory gating – the brain's ability to filter out irrelevant stimuli. In neurotypical brains, unnecessary sensory input (like background noise) is ignored. But in autism, there's a deficit in sensory gating, meaning the brain fails to filter out irrelevant or background stimuli. Sounds that others don't notice – the ticking of a clock, the hum of a fluorescent light – feel like they're blaring in your ears.On the ADHD side, things are no better. ADHD brains are bombarded by all sensory input because they have trouble filtering distractions. If you imagine your brain as a radio, a neurotypical brain might tune in to one station and block out static. An ADHD brain often has many stations playing at once – all competing for attention.Put both neurotypes together, and you get sensory overload. A gentle hum becomes unbearable, bright lights become blinding, and even the smallest sensory details can cause distress. The result? Overstimulation. One person with AuDHD might describe it as, “The world is speaking all at once, and I can't make it stop.” This overload can trigger panic or anxiety – even if there's no real threat.Story: The Café OverloadImagine this: Alex, who has AuDHD, goes to a coffee shop with a friend. There's music playing, espresso machines whirring, people chatting, and flickering candles. For most people, these sounds might blend into the background. But for Alex, every sound and sight hits like a drum. The coffee grinder is unbearably loud. The flickering lights are dizzying. Even the wallpaper feels like it's spinning.Alex starts to feel overwhelmed. Heart racing. Ears ringing. Brain foggy. They're no longer able to focus on the conversation, and they don't have the mental energy to process the noise and the people. This is sensory overload in action: everything becomes too much, and Alex's brain simply shuts down.The body's autonomic nervous system (ANS) – our stress response system – kicks in, signaling that something is wrong. Even though Alex is safe, the body's reaction is the same as if they were in danger. This leads us to Polyvagal Theory.Communication Challenges During Sensory OverloadSo, what happens when we try to communicate under these conditions? If your brain is overwhelmed with sensory input, there's little energy left for understanding language or speaking. Verbal processing becomes nearly impossible. You might hear your name being called, but you don't register it because your brain is busy filtering out all the noise around you.Research on autism shows that even when a person hears their name in a noisy environment, their brain may not respond, especially if they have limited verbal ability. For someone with AuDHD, ADHD makes it even harder to focus on the conversation when distractions are everywhere. So, you might be physically present in a conversation, but your attention is being hijacked by the flickering light or the pattern on the wall. Suddenly, the words don't make sense, and the world feels fuzzy.Autism Speaks describes this as a “shutdown” – when your brain stops processing speech and communication because it's too busy trying to manage sensory overload. For many, this results in dissociation: feeling out of touch, like you're not part of the conversation.In short: Communication suffers during sensory overload. It's not laziness or avoidance – it's your neurobiology at work. The brain simply doesn't have the resources to handle multiple sensory inputs at once.The Nervous System and Polyvagal TheoryLet's take a closer look at Polyvagal Theory, a concept developed by Dr. Stephen Porges. This theory helps explain why sensory overload leads to shutdown or panic.The theory identifies three states your body can be in:Ventral Vagal State (Safe/Social): This is when your body feels calm and connected. When this system is activated, your heart rate and breathing are steady, and communication happens easily.Sympathetic State (Fight/Flight): When a threat is detected (even something as small as a loud noise), the body shifts into “fight or flight” mode. Your heart rate increases, your body prepares to react.Dorsal Vagal State (Freeze/Shutdown): If the threat feels overwhelming and there's no escape, the body enters “freeze mode.” This is where your heart rate and energy levels drop, leading to shutdown. The body feels numb, and you might struggle to speak or move.For those of us with AuDHD, sensory overload can push us into fight/flight or freeze mode. The body's stress response system takes over, shutting down other functions like speech and decision-making. You might feel like you're being “attacked” by noise, lights, and sensations, even though there's no actual threat. Understanding Polyvagal Theory shows us that this response is natural – and not your fault.Coping Strategies for Sensory OverloadNow that we understand the science, let's talk about strategies to manage sensory overload and slow processing speed. These tools can help reset the nervous system and reduce stress:Modify Your Environment: Dim the lights, wear sunglasses indoors, or use noise-canceling headphones to reduce sensory triggers. In a busy setting, head to a quieter corner or play white noise to mask disruptive sounds.Use Sensory Tools: Keep items like weighted blankets, stress balls, or fidget toys on hand. These can help provide calming feedback and redirect attention away from overwhelming stimuli.Take Sensory Breaks: When you start feeling overloaded, take a break. Step outside, do some gentle movement, or engage in deep breathing exercises to reset your body and mind.Communicate Your Needs: If you're in a situation where you're struggling to process information, let people know. Simple phrases like “I need a moment to think” can help others understand when you're overwhelmed.Final ThoughtsAuDHD is a complex neurotype that combines the traits of both autism and ADHD. This makes for a brain that processes information slowly, struggles with sensory overload, and sometimes finds communication challenging. But understanding the science behind it – especially concepts like Polyvagal Theory – can help us make sense of these experiences.The key takeaway is: You are not alone, and it's okay to need extra time, breaks, or accommodations. By learning to recognize the signs of sensory overload and slow processing speed, we can better manage our environment and our reactions.Remember: It's not about “fighting” your brain – it's about learning to work with it. With patience, understanding, and the right tools, you can navigate the world in a way that feels more manageable and less overwhelming.Thank you for reading!

You're not alone, and there's a powerful principle that can help guide you back to a place of purpose and energy.In this episode, we explore the concept of alignment—a state of living and making decisions that honors your core values, leverages your unique gifts, and energizes you through your passions and interests.What You'll LearnAlignment acts as a powerful antidote to burnout (and the research showing you only need 20% of your time in alignment to see benefits)How to recognize when you're out of alignment and what to do about itThe critical importance of tuning into your thoughts and feelings to find your way backBoundaries are essential tools for maintaining alignment in both your professional and personal lifeKey TakeawaysWhen you're in alignment, you're like a car with properly aligned tires—moving forward smoothly and efficiently, even when the road gets bumpy. But when you're out of alignment, every mile feels like a struggle against resistance.The good news? Research suggests that spending just 20% of your time using your gifts and talents in areas aligned with your passions can significantly protect against burnout.Remember: It's not your fault if perfectionism and people-pleasing have brought you to a place of burnout in our broken healthcare system. AND you have the power to tune into your thoughts and begin changing them to feel better. Both things can be true simultaneously.Your homework: Start noticing where you feel energized in your work and where you feel drained. This awareness is the first step toward finding your alignment and creating the medical career you truly want.Next week, we'll continue our journey toward ending physician overwhelm together.

(Genesis 47: 28-41) Things are getting a little weird here. What the deal with this oath stuff and touching thighs? Remember: It's only weird to us, it makes perfect sense to the original readers of the text. Let's learn about how they would have heard this.
Send us a textWelcome to today's episode! Today we're looking into a powerful lesson on the difference between being truly committed and merely content. In our discussion, we explore three groups we all encounter—those who are eager and committed, the complainers, and those who are passively content. Using the allocation of the land in Joshua 18 and 19 as our backdrop, we'll challenge you to examine your own level of engagement in God's work.Episode NotesBiblical Context:Joshua 18–19 recounts how the remaining tribes of Israel, despite having subdued the land, were divided into their inheritances at Shiloh. Yet, seven tribes remained content with what they had instead of actively claiming their full inheritance.Main Themes:Three Groups in Life:The Committed: Eager to dive in and win the prize (like Caleb, who challenged the status quo).The Complainers: Always finding fault with change and the way things are done.The Contented: Passive, satisfied with simply being present, without striving for more.The Danger of Complacency:While being content is good, complacency can lead to spiritual stagnation.Even when blessed, failing to actively engage can prevent us from experiencing God's full promise.Taking Action:Joshua not only confronted complacency by questioning, “How long will you wait before you begin to take possession of the land?” but also provided a clear plan of action by appointing men to survey the land.Practical Application:Reflect on your own spiritual journey—are you actively pursuing growth, or are you content to sit on the sidelines?Consider ways to step up in your personal and communal walk with the Lord. Whether you're a leader or a friend, encourage one another to move beyond mere contentment toward a life marked by active faith.Remember: It's not enough to simply be present; we must act to claim the full inheritance God has prepared for us.Thank you for joining us as we challenge complacency and encourage a heart of active commitment.

Today I'm covering the seventh Beatitude which reads, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God." Matthew 5:9 (NRSVUE) Jesus is the Prince of Peace. His life, death, resurrection, and return will usher in a new age of peace between God and man. While there may not be peace now (because people like you and me are flawed and don't always choose the path of peace) we will inherit a kingdom of peace that will last forever. Our goal now is to be peacemakers and confront conflict with the intention of a peaceful outcome. How Can We Apply This to Pickleball? Pickleball is a pretty chill sport. People from all ages and backgrounds play the sport recreationally and when I'm playing with my regular crew it's fun and relaxing. Sometimes things don't go your way in a game. It could be a bad line call or someone you're playing against might be agressive or mouth off a little too much. Being a peacemaker means being respectful when you question someone's judgment and accepting the call they make. It might even mean contradicting your partner when they make a bad line call. It doesn't mean not pointing out the bad call or attitude but you should be respectful and be willing to let things go for the sake of peace. Remember: It's just one game and (hopefully) you don't have money riding on it. Pickleball News Last week's Carvana Mesa Cup produced some interesting results on Championship Sunday. Noteably, Ben Johns & Anna Leigh Waters earned a Bronze in Mixed Doubles. There were exciting match-ups throughout the tournament and this year's Carvanna PPA Tour looks like it will produce some interesting rivalries. Pickleball Tip Today's tip is from me! Don't spend time and money modifying your paddle to get it to feel right in your hand. Find a paddle that feels good without modification. Gabe Tardio, a top-10 PPA player, doesn't modify his paddle. Closing Remarks Next week I'll cover the eighth and final Beatitude that deals with being persecuted so make sure you're following the podcast on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

The last couple of weeks have been intense. Between processing the presidential election results (which has left many of us feeling scared, emotional, angry, and sad) and some difficult things happening in my personal life, my creative practice has completely fallen by the wayside. That daily art practice I shared with you before? The one with the squares for each day? Gone. Those mosaics I was making tons of? Haven't touched them. I simply haven't had the energetic, emotional, or mental capacity for any of it.Watch this episode on video: https://youtu.be/-dGpUlC6QnM?si=z9clL7Z-9eX6mFlnYou know those times when the world feels like it's falling down around you, and the thought of picking up a paintbrush or sitting down to write feels completely overwhelming? That's exactly where I am right now, and I know I'm not alone. This week, I was meeting with a coaching client who's working on an exciting creative project—one that usually lights her up—and she shared that she's experiencing the same thing. The election results knocked her over too, and she hasn't been able to put any creative energy toward her work.Here's the thing: I've noticed that when life gets intense, our creative practices are often the first things to slip away. It's totally normal. As someone who makes art, writes, and generally tries to stay creative, I've learned that there are gentle ways to keep our creativity alive even when we don't have the emotional or mental capacity for big projects.Creating Safe Space for CreativityLet's talk about something really important that I've learned: to be able to create, you need to feel some level of safeness. Your nervous system needs to be at least somewhat regulated. You don't need to feel 100% safe—just enough to get started.What does that look like in practice? It's different for everyone, but here are some things that help me:* Creating a soothing environment (yes, it sounds cliché, but lighting a candle or playing specific music really does help)* Finding your comfort drink (I'm literally sipping iced coffee as I write this, even though it's 4 PM)* Setting up a dedicated creative space, even if it's just a corner of your desk* Using meditation apps (I've been trying Insight Timer lately—turns out meditation isn't so bad with my ADHD when I have something to focus on)Starting Small (Really Small)One of my program participants came up with this brilliant idea: she made a post-it note that said "2 minutes" and listed all the creative things she could do in that time:* Write a haiku* Make a quick drawing* Take photos of interesting plants on a walk* Doodle on a post-itIt doesn't have to be a big event. You don't need to set up cameras and art supplies and make a whole production of it (trust me, I get it—I'm literally has to make the video simpler than usual because that's what I can handle right now).Finding Your "Just Right" ActivityFor me, one of the most soothing creative practices is collecting paper scraps and gluing them down. I can watch TV or listen to an audiobook while I do it. It's engaging enough to keep my hands busy but not so demanding that it overwhelms my emotional capacity.Your "just right" activity might be:* Neurographic art (making lines and rounding the edges)* Playing with watercolors and watching them flow* Stream-of-consciousness writing* Moving your body through dance or large gesture drawing* Working with clay* Following a simple art tutorial on YouTubeThe key is finding something that feels luscious and good to you, without being overwhelming.Remember: It's About the Process, Not the ProductThere's this amazing Kurt Vonnegut quote where he tells students to write a poem and then tear it up—scatter the pieces in different trash cans so no one can ever put it back together. Why? Because you still grow from the act of creating, even if no one ever sees it.I spent years not making art because I thought it had to be "good." I studied art history, I knew what "good art" looked like, and I convinced myself that if I couldn't make that, it wasn't worth making anything at all. What a waste! I've been making art for several years now, and while I haven't made any money from it, it has changed my life in profound ways.Stay Engaged (Even Just a Little)The longer you stay away from your creative practice, whatever it is, the harder it gets to come back to it. (And if you're neurodivergent like me, you might literally forget that you're an artist or writer—whoops!)Staying engaged, even in tiny ways, reminds your subconscious and your nervous system: "Hey, this is still a thing I do. This is still part of who I am." It helps you hold onto that part of yourself when things get hard.A Gentle ReminderIf you're struggling to create right now, you're not alone. Allow yourself to create without expectation, without pressure for it to look or sound any particular way. Your creativity isn't gone—it might just need a gentler approach right now.Remember: engaging with your creativity is valuable with or without an outcome. Sometimes the most important thing is just showing up, even if all you do is tear up paper or write three lines in your journal.What small creative act could you do today? Not to make something amazing, not to share it with anyone, just to stay connected to that part of yourself? Get full access to Art and Self with Cindy Ingram at cindyingram.substack.com/subscribe

7 Natural Ways to Reverse Pre-diabetes Pre-diabetes is a condition where your blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not yet high enough to be diagnosed as type 2 diabetes. If left untreated, pre-diabetes can progress to type 2 diabetes. However, with the right lifestyle changes, many people with pre-diabetes can reverse their condition. Here are 7 natural ways to reverse pre-diabetes: 1. Follow a Healthy Diet: Eat a plant-based diet: Emphasize fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and lean proteins. Limit processed foods: Reduce your intake of processed foods, which are often high in added sugars, unhealthy fats, and sodium. Control your portion sizes: Be mindful of how much you eat and avoid overeating. Choose healthy fats: Incorporate healthy fats like avocados, nuts, seeds, and olive oil into your diet. 2. Exercise Regularly: Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise most days of the week. Find activities you enjoy: This will make it easier to stick to your exercise routine. Consider resistance training: Building muscle can help improve your metabolism. 3. Lose Weight: Even a modest weight loss can make a significant difference in managing pre-diabetes. Focus on sustainable lifestyle changes: Aim for gradual weight loss rather than quick fixes. 4. Manage Stress: Chronic stress can contribute to pre-diabetes. Practice relaxation techniques: Mindfulness, meditation, yoga, and deep breathing can help manage stress. 5. Get Enough Sleep: Lack of sleep can affect your metabolism and increase your risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night. 6. Limit Alcohol Intake: Excessive alcohol consumption can contribute to weight gain and insulin resistance. If you drink alcohol, do so in moderation. 7. Monitor Your Blood Sugar: Regularly check your blood sugar levels to track your progress. Work with your healthcare provider to set target blood sugar levels. Remember: It's essential to consult with your healthcare provider before making any significant changes to your lifestyle. They can provide personalized guidance and monitor your progress.

Hey Kids... Misunderstanding what happened in the Garden = Never quite understanding why we were created, why we were sent to Earth, what gift was so great it necessitated the sacrifice of a perfect God, and God's ultimate goal for His children. Satan's deception has fostered a far more devastating sectarian lie that that spread around the world before the truth put its shoes on. I am not picking on Dr. Marshall as this is just a recent example I came across on YouTube and a view shared by modern creedal christianity. I would like to help prepare you for those you meet who inherited this same misconception about what happened in the Garden of Eden. Remember - It's far easier to politically red pill someone than to spiritually red pill themHighlights
This teaching is taken from the Acts 10, the story of Peter and Cornelius the Centurion. Both Peter and Cornelius experienced divine encounters through visions. Cornelius sees an angel with a message, Cornelius obeys and has Peter brought to his home. Peter receives a vision in which God gives Peter eyes to see beyond his cultural rules of clean and unclean. Peter was a prisoner of his culture until God gave him a vision of truth and that breakthrough brings Peter to a Gentile's home, Cornelius' home, and Peter, going against the culture, obeys God and enters the house of a Gentile. Barriers were broken as Peter allowed God to broke into his heart. Peter understood that God wants ALL people to know and believe in Him. Peter shares the gospel story with Cornelius and the people gathered to listen. Before Peter was even finished sharing, the Holy Spirit descended onto the group, just like what had happened to the disciples on Pentecost. The ministry to the non-Jewish world takes off because God has intervened and God has directed it! God uses Peter (the apostle to the Jewish people) to bring the Gospel message to Cornelius and opens up the message of Jesus the Messiah to the Gentile world! This story still speaks to us today: 1. Culture or Scripture - am I following my culture or am I following the Scripture? 2. Self or Spirit - will we go with our own plans or will we heed the Spirit of God? 3. Home or World - am I concerned about my own little group, the people I'm comfortable with or will I let God use me to reach all? 4. Works or Gospel - It's not about how good I am, it's about how good God is! Remember: It's about CHRIST ALONE! It's easy to mirror your culture, rather than reflect the teaching of the Living God. God calls us to be faithful and obedient, to be transformed by the renewing of our minds, and thus reflecting the very teachings of Christ. Scripture Romans 12:2; Acts 10 awakeusnow.com
In a perfect world, your boss is supportive, encouraging, wise, and has all the time in the world to mentor and coach you. He gives you full credit for your wins and shares the blame for your missteps. She spends time helping you plan your next career steps and advocates for you to get those opportunities. If you related to that fairy tale – congratulations! I'm sure many, if not most, of the listeners can't relate. Today, we're talking about ways for you to succeed as a manager despite having an awful boss. How to be effective when you're not getting the support, mentorship, or positive reinforcement you desire. Perhaps most importantly, how not to let the crap that's landing on your head NOT flow to your direct reports. There are three aspects I want to talk about today – how to know if you have a truly bad boss, how to manage your people despite having a bad boss, and how to manage your relationship with your bad boss. How to Know if You Truly Have a Bad Boss Many people who think they have a bad boss actually have a boss they disagree with, don't understand, or who is very different from them. Here are 8 indicators your boss is actually a bad boss. Keep in mind that all bosses have off days; your boss is officially bad if any of these indicators is pervasive. #1 – They are insecure. I find that, when I'm working with my clients, many of them present issues with their bosses that boil down to insecurity on the boss's part. The boss may be trying to protect his job, feel insecure about his ability to do his job, or both. This insecurity can show up as withholding information, micromanaging, taking credit for employee's work, and putting employees down. #2 – They get easily frustrated. This is particularly evident when an employee questions their decisions or asks for more information. I also see it when things don't go according to plan. While any boss can and will get frustrated, the reaction of a bad boss is outsized to the situation. #3 – They lack professional boundaries. If you've ever seen Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant in “Two Weeks' Notice,” you know this concept. Not respecting time off, expecting employees to do things way beyond their job description, and overstepping the social aspect of the work environment are all indicators that your boss lacks professional boundaries. #4 – They aren't discreet. They call you out on mistakes in front of coworkers or your direct reports and do so in a way that feels like an intentional “gotcha” moment. They don't seek to understand why something happened – just to punish you for it. #5 – They pick favorites. While many in an office may THINK the boss is picking favorites, the bad boss is blatant. Giving the best assignments, letting that employee off the hook for things that other employees get raked over the coals for, and heaping outsized praise on the favorite are all indicators of favoritism. #6 – They are overly negative. Giving only - or mostly – negative feedback instead of catching employees doing good, spending more time talking about the problem than possible solutions, and generally being pessimistic are signs of an overly negative boss. #7 – Engage in office gossip. The boss should be the Switzerland of the office – neutral to the personal drama surrounding her. When issues need to be dealt with, a good boss does so in private, with the “What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas” attitude. Bosses who ignite or fan the flames of office gossip are bad bosses. #8 – Harassment. While this one is usually pretty black and white, it does deserve a mention here. While the other six issues may have workarounds or can be tolerated for a period of time, this one may require immediate intervention or you exiting the company. Follow your company's HR processes for reporting this kind of behavior. Managing Your Relationship with Your Boss Let's assume that, at least for the immediate future, you're stuck with your boss. I have 7 tips for you to help you improve your relationship with your boss for however long you must work together. I want to begin this section by saying that your issues with your boss are just that – YOUR issues. You can't change his behavior or words, only yours. If you can learn to manage your mind around this boss, you will be better for it. Remember: It's not your responsibility to make sure your boss is happy – your responsibility is to do your job well. Keep the focus where it should be. #1 – Talk to your boss. Try to understand his communication style and expectations. Try active listening and repeating back what he says to ensure you're both clear. Avoid making him feel accused. You may also be able to learn about some of the pressures he's facing, constraints he's under, or personal issues he's dealing with – and understanding can help breed acceptance. #2 – Take responsibility. Consider what part of the situation you are contributing – how can you show up differently to possibly neutralize your boss's effect on you? #3 – Take the high road. At all costs, don't gossip or badmouth your boss, either in your department or elsewhere in the organization. If you need to speak to someone else in the company about the situation, do so professionally – and choose wisely. #4 – Adapt your behavior. As you spend time with your boss, you'll learn more about her leadership style. Think of ways you can adapt to her preferences and style without sacrificing your personal brand. If your boss is a micromanager, trying being more proactive with the information she's most interested in. Also, practice thinking more neutral or positive thoughts about your boss so you can see her in a better light. #5 – Speak to HR. If you've already made your boss aware of the problem and they haven't addressed it, HR may be your next step. However, tread lightly – HR works for your employer, and if your boss is a favored employee, it may bounce back onto you. Your best approach is to tell HR exactly what has happened and what you've tried, without emotion or gossip. Just the facts. #6 - Set boundaries. If your boss lacks boundaries, establish your own and communicate them clearly with your boss and coworkers. Be polite but unyielding. #7 - Set your own goals. If your boss is unwilling or unable to help you set goals for your job performance, set your own and communicate them to her. Ask for her input – she might be able to make suggestions once you've laid the groundwork. Keep her apprised of your progress toward those goals. Managing Your People When Your Boss is Terrible Spoiler alert: Being a good manager is being a good manager. There are, however, some nuances when your boss is terrible. I want to come at this from a different angle – how you can neutralize the negative impact of your boss so it doesn't flow downstream to your team. #1 - Engage your support system. Outside of work, be sure to have people that will support you and help you reduce stress. Above all else, don't let resentment, frustration, or anger build up without a release valve. #2 – Take care of yourself. Get exercise and enough sleep; you may want to take advantage of mental health services or even take a temporary break from work. Having a therapist who can help you neutralize the impact of your boss so you can be a more effective manager and leader is worth its weight in gold. #3 – Manage your mind. I've done a number of podcasts on the importance of mindset in various situations. When you have a terrible boss, it's important to recognize – and try to neutralize – the impact of what your boss is saying or doing. For example: Your boss has just raked you over the coals in front of your direct reports. When this has happened in the past, you began mentally cussing your boss out, perhaps gossiping with coworkers who are on your side, and letting it negatively impact your job performance. You're probably thinking something like:“My boss is an a-hole.” Instead, catch that thought – be aware what you are thinking. Then, gently and gradually shift your thought to something more neutral: “I have a boss.”“Jane is my boss.” “Jane is the JOB TITLE of DEPARTMENT or FUNCTION.” I promise, that tiny shift will make a huge difference. Another aspect of managing your mind is not owning your boss's opinion of you. Thoughts for this might include: “Jane thinks _____; she's mistaken.”“I am ____ (a belief that counters what Jane has said about you)“I am a valuable employee.”“I'm really good at _____” (something that moves you away from the area your boss criticized) #4 – Use your boss's behavior as a training ground. Some of my best learning about leadership has been from a series of less-than-stellar bosses I had when I worked in higher education and, before that, in corporate training. Decide how you want to show up for your people. I recommend letting your people know what you're working on – you don't have to throw your boss under the bus to do this. Just let them know you're actively working on, for example, providing positive feedback when you see your employees doing good, and ask them to hold you accountable. #5 – Find a mentor in the organization. This is not someone to whom you can vent and gossip, but rather someone who truly supports you and wants the best for you. This will help in many ways, not the least of which is helping to neutralize the impact of your boss's negativity. #6 – Get to know your team members. Ask them how they like to be rewarded, what motivates them, what aspects of their work they like best/least – and make sure to act on what you learn. Get to know them outside of work as well – learn about their family and hobbies. This familiarity will breed a sense of belonging and togetherness. #7 – Finally, don't bash your boss. This should be obvious, but bashing your boss with your coworkers makes you a bad boss. See how that works? Are you in the wrong job that chips away at you every day?

Hello! Welcome to the And She Rises — TF Up — the podcast. We have a fun one for you today! These four clips were taken from one of our most popular courses — Sell from Your Soul. SFYS is an immersion into the art of calling in, sharing with, and selling to those who need your work while standing in and speaking from your truth, creating systems + strategies that work for you, and not feeling gross or salesy — for even a second. SFYS is open for enrollment and marked at a special price. Check out all the details + success stories: https://amandafrances.com/sell-from-your-soul/ Without further ado… Four Things to Remember When Selling Feels Hard: 1. It is safe to be seen. Don't be afraid of shining and showing the real you. The humans need the real you. They need what you have to give, they need what you have to say, and you're simply doing them a disservice if you're holding back. Remember: It is safe to tell the truth. It is safe to share your heart. It is safe to be seen. Ask yourself: If you couldn't fuck it up, if no one would be mad at you, if you get no yucky comments, then what would you say? What would you allow to come through? 2. Nothing is blocking you from your desires. What if there was nothing standing in between you and what you desire? What if there was no shadow belief holding you back? What if there was nothing keeping you from believing you were enough? If the blocks and the limiting beliefs were removed, what would you do now? How would you feel now? Sometimes it feels like there's something that is bigger than us standing in the way when there really isn't. Remember: You are more powerful than anything you feel is in between you and whatever it is you desire. 3. Don't take on energy that isn't yours. When you feel negative energy around you, remember: You can be around the drama and the negativity and not take it in. For me, it's a practice of saying, that's not mine, I give back to you what is yours, and I take what is mine. You can have empathy and understand where someone is coming from, but you have to take care of you. Don't make their funky energy yours. 4. Believe in your work. It is your job, above everything, to believe in what you do. To know fully inside yourself that it is the best thing in the world. No one else can believe it until you do. To get there, I ask myself things like: What does someone get when they enroll in this offer?What will they experience? What will they learn? How will they grow? I stay clear on how my offer is of service and that helps me to have confidence. Okay, my loves! I cannot wait to see you in SFYS. Let the enrollment page answer all your Qs, and if you need us please reach out: support@amandafrances.com or DM me. :) All the love, Amanda + Team AF
