We're not broken—we're just overwhelmed. Kylie Larson and I explore how to quiet the noise, feel safe in your body, and start leading with acceptance instead of control. In this episode, Kylie Larson and I unpack the difference between what you think you need and what you actually need when it comes to health, wellness, and feeling like yourself again. We talk about the endless noise out there—how easy it is to chase the next fix—and why the real work often looks less like control and more like compassion. We also dig into what it means to feel safe in your body, how lifestyle choices play a bigger role than most people realize, and why acceptance isn't giving up—it's where real change begins. Our conversation was inspired by what we are seeing in ourselves, with clients and the collective as a whole.

This is a fan fav episode. If you're a human, you've most likely been in relationships and situations that spark regret, shame and confusion on what to do and who to be in the moment. So often, people spend time trying to please everyone around them. The way you dress, the way you style your hair, where you sit in the meeting, all of these decisions are so easily influenced by a want and desire to be given approval from the right people. But what about you? What do you want? How often are you spending time apologizing for feeling, and even better how often are you downplaying that you even feel anything? Najwa Zebian is an activist, poet and celebrated author. She joins Lisa for a second time to discuss how she came to radical self acceptance, and share the startling fact that we may actually be gaslighting ourselves when we diminish and disregard the pain we feel when vulnerability has been betrayed in the hands of the wrong person. Najwa's Questions for Self-Acceptance: 1. Who are you? 2. Why do I believe what I believe? 3. Why do I live my life the way that I do? 4. Why am I scared of X, Y and Z? 5. Why are you so afraid of feeling pain? “When you build your home and other people you give them the power to make as homeless” -Najwa Zebian SHOW NOTES: Gaslighting Yourself | Why diminishing your painful experience lessens your self-worth [0:40] Homeless | How we build homes in others and end up homeless when they walk away [6:37] Toxic Savior | Trying to save someone doesn't mean you're owed anything, that's toxic [9:47] Proof of Love | Examining the real cost of having someone love versus what you receive [16:03] Self-Aware | The need to be aware of your triggers and the filter you've created for life [19:56] Self-Acceptance | Self-acceptance versus indifference and know who you're accepting [25:59] Identity Crisis | Najwa shares the personal crisis that made her question her identity [33:59] Being Hurt | Why you need to acknowledge the hurt and know healing in your power [39:30] Vulnerability | How to be open to vulnerability after being hurt even in protection mode [45:24] Unwinding Triggers | Finding the origin of your triggers and allow yourself to feel it [51:56] Self-Judgement | Not blaming or judging yourself for allowing things to happen [55:36] Original air date: 10-27-2021 Learn more about your ad choices.

Whitney returns after her longest podcast break yet with an unfiltered reflection on what it means to try again when everything feels heavy. Recorded from her childhood bedroom in Massachusetts during her annual fall road trip, this episode explores fatigue, executive dysfunction, burnout, and the complex relationship between rest, shame, and self-acceptance.She shares recent experiences—from missing tax deadlines and battling self-judgment to navigating her dog Evie's sudden health scare and ongoing recovery—and what these moments have revealed about living with neurodivergence and cPTSD in a world that often feels unsafe or misaligned.If you've ever felt exhausted no matter how much you rest, struggled to forgive yourself for mistakes, or wondered why healing never feels linear, this episode offers solidarity, honesty, and quiet hope.Join the Community: Want to stay connected between episodes?

What if your inconsistency on the golf course wasn't about mechanics—but about how your brain is wired to learn, handle stress, and perform under pressure? In this episode of The Scratch Golfer's Mindset Podcast, I sit down with John Weir, creator of Mental Golf Type, to explore how personality wiring, hypnosis, and mental fitness shape your golf performance and your life. John breaks down why self-image is the foundation of confidence, how stress changes your swing before mechanics ever do, and why “being you” is the ultimate competitive advantage. In this episode, you'll learn: What hypnosis really is (and why it's a natural state of mind). The role of brainwaves in learning, confidence, and performance. How self-image is formed—and how to reshape it for success. Why celebrating positive shots accelerates growth. The difference between mental game strategies and mindset training. How your personality type influences stress, learning, and consistency. Why “being you” is the fastest path to your zone state. Whether you're trying to break 90, win your club championship, or gain an edge in business, John's insights will help you understand yourself at a deeper level—and show you how to align with your strengths for lasting success.

Instagram: @thegolfhypnotherapist Twitter: @parsoverbogeys Key Takeaways: Hypnosis is a natural brainwave state that improves learning and receptivity. Self-image, formed in childhood, drives confidence, habits, and athletic identity. Celebrating positive shots (with emotion) hardwires them into memory. Stress and cortisol—not swing flaws—often cause inconsistency. Personality type influences how you process information and respond under pressure. Mental fitness is like physical fitness—it requires daily training. True performance comes from being yourself, not mimicking the pros. Key Quotes: “Hypnosis is simply a natural state of mind—it's how we learn best.” “Your subconscious doesn't care if it's positive or negative—it just supports your self-image.” “Every good shot deserves a fist pump. Celebrate the positive to wire it in.” “Most inconsistency in golf isn't mechanical—it's stress shutting down the motor cortex.” “Your personality type is your wiring. Once you know it, performance becomes simpler.” “Mental fitness is just as important as physical fitness—you need both daily.” “The zone isn't about being Tiger or Phil—it's about being yourself.” Time Stamps: 00:00: Understanding Hypnosis and Brain Waves 02:44: The Importance of Receptive States 05:42: Building Self-Image and Overcoming Limiting Beliefs 08:29: Emotional Anchoring and Positive Reinforcement 11:30: Mental Fitness: A New Approach to Hypnosis 14:30: The Role of Personality in Performance 17:21: Stress Management and Performance Consistency 20:17: Understanding Learning Styles and Personality Types 23:13: The Impact of Personality on Relationships 26:14: Simplifying the Path to Improvement 29:08: The Power of Self-Acceptance 32:13: The Importance of Slowing Down 35:00: Final Thoughts and Key Takeaways
Womanhood Wellness is where functional medicine meets feminine wisdom—guiding you to balance hormones, awaken libido, and prepare for pregnancy with intention. Join todayWhat if chasing health and beauty ends up making us sick, anxious, and disconnected?This episode is all about choosing joy instead of fear and questioning the pressure to do everything “right,” from Botox to seed oils. That lens applies to everything, hair dye, kids' snacks, and even the bread at an Italian restaurant. We need to ask what actually serves our bodies and our stress levels.The internet is a great resource, but it has created immense confusion around wellness because for every idea you can easily find an opposition with just as much conviction. We explore that same middle ground in fertility, where IVF might make sense for some while natural approaches fit others. Of course, we always bring it home to motherhood and discuss screens, childcare, and the everyday mess of trying to balance it all without losing ourselves in the extremes.You'll Learn:[00:00] Introduction[06:09] Where the line blurs between natural beauty choices and Botox[09:08] The hidden costs of breast implants and why “safe” options aren't risk-free[10:18] How losing facial expression with Botox may impact kids and human connection[22:33] Why obsessing over toxins or food rules can harm more than help[26:11] The mindset shift that transforms health choices from fear to joy[32:56] Navigating the nuanced spectrum between fertility treatments and natural approaches[38:57] How to balance being present with your kids while still holding boundaries[41:25] The real struggles of working motherhood and why guilt shows up on both sides[51:06] Why extremes create suffering and why most wisdom lives in the middleResources Mentioned:Healthy as a Mother podcast episode on How to Handle Sibling Fights with Ralphie Jacobs | Apple or Spotify or YouTubeFind more from Dr. Leah:Dr. Leah Gordon | InstagramDr. Leah Gordon | WebsiteWomanhood Wellness | WebsiteFind more from Dr. Morgan:Dr. Morgan MacDermott | InstagramDr. Morgan MacDermott | WebsiteUse code HEALTHYMOTHER and save 15% at RedmondFor 20% off your first order at Needed, use code HEALTHYMOTHERSave $260 at Lumebox, use code HEALTHYASAMOTHER

In Episode 487 of Fishing Without Bait, host Jim Ellermeyer is joined by producer Mike Sorg for a heartfelt conversation rooted in the enduring wisdom of Fred Rogers. Together, they explore themes of uncertainty, emotional resilience, and self-acceptance through the lens of full-impact mindfulness. This episode dives into Mr. Rogers' most impactful quotes, including “I like you just the way you are,” and how these simple yet profound affirmations can guide us through fear, overwhelm, and self-doubt. Jim and Mike reflect on the concept of “leveling up” in life like a video game—gaining experience, becoming more resilient, and making meaningful choices. Listeners will hear discussions on: • Managing emotions by making them “mentionable and manageable” • Accepting life's challenges without needing immediate solutions • The importance of being a helper—or recognizing helpers around you • The difference between kindness and being “right” • Embracing who you are and offering that same grace to others End your day with a moment of mindfulness, self-kindness, and the reminder that you already have something valuable to offer the world.
Are you convinced that you need to fix all your flaws as a founder? In this episode, we explore why that's not necessarily true. Ryan and Will dive deep into the idea that both startups and their founders are loaded with problems, some of which aren't really 'problems' at all but hidden superpowers. From obsessive tendencies to ADHD, they discuss how to harness these traits for success rather than trying to fix them. Drawing from personal experiences and industry insights, they touch on the influence of pharmaceutical marketing, the role of social media in shaping perceptions, and the importance of finding context for your strengths. This episode challenges you to rethink how you view your weaknesses and offers a fresh perspective on founder self-acceptance and leveraging inherent traits for entrepreneurial success.Resources:Startup Therapy Podcasthttps://www.startups.com/community/startup-therapyWebsitehttps://www.startups.com/beginLinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/startups-co/Join our Network of Top FoundersWil Schroterhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/wilschroter/Ryan Rutanhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/ryan-rutan/What to listen for:00:33 Founders and Their Problems01:15 Pharmaceutical Industry Insights02:36 Social Media and Problem Creation03:46 Personal Struggles of Founders05:07 Overthinking and Control Issues11:15 ADHD and Academic Challenges17:11 Harnessing Obsessiveness for Success20:40 Evaluating Self-Help Advice21:09 Struggles with Attention Span21:31 Learning Outside Traditional Education22:15 Emphasizing Strengths Over Weaknesses23:29 Founders and Their Strengths28:08 Anxiety as a Superpower34:46 The Importance of Context in Learning38:36 Self-Acceptance and Utilizing Strengths
In this special episode of Mental Health News Radio, host Kristin speaks with author and advocate Jonathan Kemp about his powerful new memoir and his upcoming seven-month Mental Health Walk across the UK and Ireland. Jonathan shares how five decades of lived experience with depression, bipolar disorder, addiction recovery, and dyslexia shaped his story — and why he redefined “wealth” as knowledge and connection. His new book, releasing October 10, 2025, offers both his personal journey and practical wisdom for anyone navigating mental health and neurodiversity. We also explore his bold plan to walk from the Shetland Islands down through Scotland, England, Wales, and Ireland, retracing his great-grandmother's suffragist march of 1913. With all proceeds going to mental health charities, Jonathan's mission is simple yet profound: to spark honest conversations and remind us that hope and help are always possible.Learn more at www.jonathankemp.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/mental-health-news-radio--3082057/support.
Most founders chase the exit as if it's the ultimate destination. But what happens when the deal closes and you're left asking, "Who am I without my business?" In this crossover episode from The Amazing Marketing Show, Jerome Myers joins hosts Dmitri Smirnov and Chris Gray to reveal why 75 percent of business owners regret selling their companies, and what the other 25 percent did differently. Jerome shares hard-won wisdom on exit readiness, identity, purpose, and redefining wealth beyond money. He invites listeners to see freedom not as walking away from something, but as stepping into the next meaningful chapter. 00:00 – 04:15 The Reality Behind Business Exits Only 25% of founders who sell their company feel no regret Success without purpose can lead to depression, not freedom True exit readiness requires planning on both financial and emotional fronts 04:16 – 09:30 Loneliness After the Exit Up to 60% of personal relationships fade after leaving a company Without intentional community, many founders experience isolation Redefine your “Top Five” relationships for the post-exit phase 09:31 – 17:45 Identity, Self-Acceptance, and the Founder's Paradox Many founders only feel loved through achievement—a “scar of success” Real acceptance begins with forgiveness and releasing old expectations Your worth isn't tied to titles, deals, or results—it's intrinsic 17:46 – 26:15 From Exit to Impact Jerome shares his own painful corporate exit and the six centers of doubt: identity, relationships, health, prosperity, motivation, and significance Purpose-driven legacy starts when you exit to something, not from it “Enough” isn't stagnation, it's the foundation of real freedom 26:16 – 34:00 Freedom, Legacy, and the Power of Choice Real wealth is the ability to choose how you use your time, talent, and treasure Money is a tool; freedom is the measure True success is living a life that others want to honor and remember 34:01 – 47:00 Exit Readiness and Higher-Level Leadership Jerome's Exit Readiness Assessment measures seven areas of preparedness Great leaders focus on the upper tiers of Maslow's hierarchy: impact, fulfillment, transcendence Marketing that proves understanding creates trust faster than persuasion.

Kate reconnects with her longtime friend Amber Rose Johnson, whom she met long before they each had kids—and she's been laughing with her ever since. Amber grew up surrounded by fitness and comedy: her dad ran a health club and business, and her mom was an aerobics instructor by day and a comedian and booker by night. But instead of being drawn into the toxic diet culture of that world, Amber charted her own path—embracing body positivity long before it became a movement. In this conversation, Amber opens up about her unconventional childhood, how her mother taught her to use humor as a way to navigate life's toughest moments, and how she went on to build a thriving day spa business rooted in self-acceptance and joy.

This one gets personal. I share my story, growing up praised for performance, losing my athletic identity, spiraling into restriction, bingeing, and running myself into the ground. A coach tells me to lose weight, shame follows, and I chase “smaller” at all costs. The shift starts with one yes: a park workout. From there, I rebuilt myself. HIIT opens the door to movement; strength training changes everything. Lifting teaches me to take up space, eat for fuel, and measure progress by power, not a scale. I define what “enough” means on my terms.In this episode of Broads, I break down how mindset questions create momentum, why one decision beats perfection, and what real progress looks like, and spoiler: It's not what you've been told. If you feel stuck, this episode is your sign. Freedom is possible. Start with one yes, and watch every other part of your life follow!What's Discussed:(00:04) The moment I finally share my real story: the messy truth behind the highlight reel(14:32) The breaking point: when discipline was really just fear in disguise(20:51) The yes that changed everything (and why it wasn't about the workout)(28:10) How lifting 250 pounds rewired my brain about worth and confidence(43:56) The one decision that flips everything, from chasing smaller to claiming freedomThank You to Our Sponsors:Broads: Ready to ditch the BS and start feeling strong in your body?

Jonathan “J.Mo” Moran is one of Australia’s best known entertainment journalists, but behind the red carpets lies a far more complex story. In this candid conversation, Jess uncovers the real person behind the headlines: JMo’s struggles with self-image, the lasting impact of childhood trauma, and what led him to become a Lifeline ambassador. They explore the hidden costs of a glamorous career, how the loss of his close friend Charlotte Dawson reshaped his understanding of mental health, and why advocating for open, stigma-free conversations matters more than ever. JMo reflects on coping mechanisms (healthy and not), the challenges of journalistic integrity, and the role of connection, purpose, and kindness in his journey. A powerful reminder that every public persona hides a private battle, and that sharing those struggles can help light the way for others.

From her DIY beauty days to writing every song on her new album The Mirror, Trisha brings stories, honesty, and plenty of surprises.

Fear is not here to be eliminated but to be understood, embraced, and transcended. In this heartfelt conversation, Meilin Ehlke sits with Emmy Award–winning life coach Rhonda Britten to explore how fear speaks through perfectionism, people-pleasing, procrastination, and negative self-talk, and how we can soften its grip with love and compassion. Together they walk through Rhonda's Wheel of Fear / Wheel of Freedom, discovering how these patterns are not flaws but protective mechanisms waiting to be released. By acknowledging and honoring our fears, we open the door to forgiveness, wholeness, and authentic self-expression. As we embrace our true selves, we bring more courage, kindness, and belonging into the collective field of oneness.**Rhonda Britten is a living example of transformation through fearlessness.** At just 14, she endured a tragic loss that led to years of struggle with shame and fear. Out of that pain, she discovered a path to freedom — creating her groundbreaking **Wheel of Fear / Wheel of Freedom** method. Today, she is an **Emmy-winning life coach, bestselling author, and founder of the Fearless Living Institute**, guiding thousands to break free from fear and step into their true selves. What I love most about Rhonda is that her wisdom comes from lived experience — she embodies the freedom she teaches, reminding us that fear can become the gateway to oneness. 00:08:53 Embracing Fear for Transformation and Connection 00:11:39 Embracing Authenticity: Dissolving Fears for Self-Expression 00:14:55 Reframing Fear Responses for Self-Acceptance 00:20:11 Embracing Fear for Personal Growth and Connection 00:32:22 Navigating Fear with the Wheel of Freedom 00:42:55 Interconnected Kindness: Self-Love Through Oneness 00:48:29 Cultivating Self-Love for Positive Transformation 00:48:55 Embracing Courage and Breaking Self-Limiting Beliefs 00:57:47 Fear Dissolution for Authentic Growth with Rhonda Britten Connect with Rhonda Britten: https://www.instagram.com/rhondabritten https://fearlessliving.org ~ * ~ ~ * ~ ~ * ~ ~ * ~You are invited to bring your wisdom and powerful energy over to our Fb group where you can share it with us and others.

In this new episode #224 – Why Resentment Builds, I'm diving into one of those sneaky emotions that can quietly shape your mission and your life: resentment. We've all felt it—whether it's with a companion, a roommate, a family member, or even in marriage. Resentment often builds when we expect someone else to meet our needs instead of learning how to meet them ourselves. I'll share stories from my own life, experiences from missionaries in the field, and tools you can start using right away to shift from emotional childhood into emotional maturity. Together, we'll explore what resentment really is, why it keeps us stuck, and how to fill our own “gas tank” with validation, appreciation, and love—without waiting around for someone else to do it for us. If you're preparing, serving, or adjusting to life after your mission (or supporting someone who is), this episode will give you practical strategies to stop outsourcing your emotions, take ownership of your feelings, and create the confidence and freedom you're looking for. As always, if you found this episode helpful, I want to invite you to subscribe if you aren't already, share this episode with your friends and missionaries you know, and write a review. I know this work will help LDS missionaries around the world and it would mean so much to me if you did. Until next week my friends.

The episode highlights the importance of non-judgment, the healing potential of conscious touch and communication, and the ongoing journey toward greater intimacy, self-acceptance, and body brilliance.FOR MORE ALI MEZEY:ALI - WebsiteALI - LinkTreeFOR MORE RAHI CHUN:BIO:Rahi combines his training and experience as a CA state-certified Somatic Sex Educator and Sexological Bodyworker, Certified TRE Provider, NeuroAffective Touch Practitioner, Life Coach with an M.A. in Spiritual Psychology, with certifications in Family Constellations Therapy, DeArmouring Arts, Chi Nei Tsang & Karsai Nei Tsang, and STREAM (Scar Tissue Remediation and Management) in his facilitation of Somatic Sexual Wholeness.

She is often depicted as fierce, with multiple arms holding a sword and a severed head, but can also be seen as a nurturing mother figure. ALI'S NOTE ON FLASHING BACK TO SEXUAL TRAUMA: Rahi and I discuss how feeling safe with a lover can allow, and elicit, the retrieval and “working through” of traumatic memories. This can be an opportunity to move beyond those traumas within a partner's loving presence and compassion. However, just because you are experiencing flashbacks of sexual trauma does not necessarily mean it's because you feel safe. It could also be your body showing you that you are overwhelmed in the situation, or worse, receiving instinctual warnings that that person, place or timing isn't right for you. Ultimately, it's so important we keep close to the capacity of our won nervous systems at any given moment or sexual encounter particularly if you have experienced sexual trauma. Can you, and hopefully your partner/s, deeply and kindly be with you, “hold space” for you to express, verbally or emotionally, shake, cry, rage, move? Not all partners are equipped for that.

In this week's show Lian is joined by John Kippen. John is an entrepreneur, professional magician, speaker, resilience and empowerment coach and published author. John was dealt a bad blow in 2002 when he was diagnosed with a large benign brain tumor. Its removal, although successful, left him with permanent facial paralysis which stopped his forward momentum forcing him into hiding for more than 12 years. As John hit bottom, he rediscovered his childhood love for performing magic and storytelling. Now filled with passion and hope, he discovered that his facial paralysis had become his greatest superpower. This new mindset gave John the strength to live life with joy and become a sought after resilience and empowerment coach who uses the lessons and tricks he learned overcoming his adversity to inspire and assist his clients to get out of their own way and live their best lives. His two mottos are “Being Different is your Superpower!” and “Feed your Heart with your Art”. In this episode, Lian and John explore identity, being seen, and the simple choices that change a room. John shares the day a brain tumour changed his face, the eight years he avoided mirrors, the child who asked what adults wouldn't, and the moment he chose to name the change to his face before anyone else did. Together, they look at what actually makes the difference: saying the obvious thing first so people relax, letting repetition and craft rebuild confidence, and making the person in front of you the point. Listen if you have ever dodged photos, worried about what strangers notice, or wondered how to begin again after a big change that impacts you at the level of your identity. We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you'll learn from this episode: How naming the visible difference at the start eases tension, answers unasked questions, and opens real connection Why steady practice, honest story, and self-acceptance can rebuild identity after a big change, without waiting for perfect conditions or permission What happens when you put the person in front of you first with presence, names, and attention: tension drops, curiosity softens, and trust grows Resources and stuff spoken about: There's a free book but you can only get it by listening to the episode :) Visit John's website Join UNIO, the Academy of the Soul: This is for the old souls in this new world… Discover your kin & unite with your soul's calling to truly live your myth.

In this heart-opening conversation, NeuroDuo's Lauren and Tom share how their late diagnoses of autism and ADHD transformed not only their individual lives but their relationship, creativity, and self-acceptance. They talk about battling stigma, navigating sensory overload, and learning to create content that mirrors their real experience—not performative or polished, but real, resonant, and healing. From clock ticks in an assessment room to the quiet validation of knowing you're not alone, this episode explores how authenticity becomes therapy—and how being understood can change everything.linktr.ee/neuroduoBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/mental-health-news-radio--3082057/support.

On this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik explores the practice of “healing through hugs” with author and coach Melinda Lee, whose memoir Rebel Hugger documents a year of offering consensual hugs to strangers—and the deeper truth she uncovered: the connection she gave others was the connection she hadn't given herself. We discuss intention vs. habit, consent and boundaries, people-pleasing and depletion, and a simple self-hug practice to regulate the nervous system. Clear, grounded, and practical—this conversation reframes touch as an act of presence, not performance. About the Guest: Melinda Lee is the author of Rebel Hugger, a coach, and a certified Healing Touch for Animals practitioner. Her work centers on connection, consent, and embodied compassion. Key Takeaways: Consent first: Melinda always asked, “Can I give you a hug?”—a model for safe, respectful connection. Intention matters more than the act: a present, welcomed hug can be regulating; a habitual hug can be empty. People-pleasing depletes: giving from an “empty cup” invites burnout and dis-ease; self-nourishment is non-negotiable. Boundaries are loving: a hug can invite closeness and still honor where you end and the other begins. Rejection isn't rupture: when someone says “no,” stay in relationship—eye contact, respect, and warmth still connect. The mirror effect: outward generosity can expose inner neglect; notice what you're seeking from others and practice giving it to yourself. Micro-practice: hand on heart, a few slow breaths, feel energy “flow” around the body—20–30 seconds to reset. Safety lens: enter interactions believing most people are kind while staying grounded, aware, and boundaried.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Jerry Henderson—Master Certified Coach, author, speaker, and host of the Permission to Love podcast—to unpack how shame quietly fuels burnout, perfectionism, and imposter syndrome. Jerry shares the inner work that moved him from achievement-as-proof to achievement-as-expression, and explains why self-acceptance increases sustainable performance without the self-punishment loop. If you lead, build, or strive—and feel like it never feels like “enough”—this conversation gives you a practical path to healthy high achievement rooted in identity, self-compassion, and aligned ambition. About the guest : Jerry Henderson is a Master Certified Coach, author, speaker, and creator of the Personal Mastery Framework. He's raised $1B+ in philanthropy and blends psychology, coaching, and trauma-informed practices to help high achievers transform shame-driven success into fulfillment, resilience, and impact. He hosts the Permission to Love podcast. Key takeaways: Shame vs. guilt: Guilt = “I did something wrong.” Shame = “I am something wrong.” Shame often drives overwork, perfectionism, and burnout. Achievement isn't the enemy: High achievement can be healthy; it turns harmful when used to outrun not-enoughness. The inside job: Chasing external approval rarely creates peace. The work is self-acceptance first, then achievement as expression—not proof. Energy shift: Moving from self-criticism to self-compassion changes the fuel source—less grind, more clarity and consistency. Not complacency: Acceptance doesn't mean settling. It means you challenge yourself from care, not fear. Identity > outcomes: Know who you are without your wins. Let wins amplify who you are, not define it. Spot the signs: When “5 o'clock comes sooner,” relationships strain, or health dips, achievement may be shame-driven. Practical start: Notice the inner critic story; replace it with one small act of self-acceptance today. Leader note: Self-berating “bossing” demotivates. Self-compassion sustains performance and protects well-being.

Heather speaks into the aftermath of last week’s tragic events to address how these unsettling times can actually serve as a wake-up call for Christian women struggling with body image and comparison. Instead of focusing on the headlines, Heather invites listeners to examine what we’re really battling daily. She explores the big idea that our struggle isn’t with the scale, the mirror, or even other women—it’s a spiritual battle, not “against flesh and blood,” as Ephesians 6:12 says. Heather shares a relatable story about getting a speeding ticket (and her less-than-humble reaction!) as an illustration of the subtle ways pride and self-focus sneak in, keeping us distracted from what God is calling us to. Here are some references & main themes: The assassination of Charlie Kirk: Not the main focus of the episode, but this tragic event is used as context for discussing spiritual wake-up calls and living boldly for Jesus. Us vs. them mentality: How cultural polarization and volatility can lead to numbness or withdrawal, even from our spiritual callings. Spiritual battle vs. physical struggle: Using Ephesians 6:12, Heather emphasizes we need to recognize the spiritual nature of our struggles—especially with body image, insecurity, and comparison. Armor of God (Ephesians 6): Are you more worried about what you wear or making sure you have the armor of God on? The lie of “my truth” vs. God’s truth: Heather draws from the cultural trend of embracing “my truth” and contrasts it with God’s truth, especially in how we view ourselves and our worth. Pride and self-righteousness: Illustrated through her personal speeding ticket story, reminding us how quickly we default to excusing ourselves and judging others. Encouragement for action: Rather than “doing more” or “trying harder,” Heather invites listeners to actually follow Jesus, not just fit Him into their goals and plans. Overcoming shame and guilt: She warns listeners not to get caught in the enemy’s trap of shame for not being "further along" in their spiritual walk, and instead to run toward Jesus, the light, and real security. Programs and Resources Mentioned: 40-Day Journey: Starts October 1st, with groups beginning October 7th. Details at improvebodyimage.com or directly at: https://www.improvebodyimage.com/40-day-challenge Body Image Freedom Framework: Heather’s online course for deeper freedom in the areas discussed in the episode. Coaching and community offerings: Here are links to programs designed to equip women for the real battle. Questions to Reflect On: Which “battle” am I spending most of my time and energy on each day? How does believing my own truth about my body or worth keep me from living in God’s truth? Am I taking Jesus along for my ride, or am I letting Him lead? Final encouragement: Heather calls listeners to reject shame, fight the real battle, and let their light shine for Christ. She challenges us to think about how we will be remembered—not as women obsessed with their image, but as those unafraid to shine the light of Jesus. For more: Listen to this episode for Heather’s personal stories, practical encouragement, and a heartfelt call to step out of comparison and into true freedom.

When the Dogs Stop Saying Hi: The Human Need for Connection and Belonging Patricia (she/her) explores the complexities of community, being perceived, and the challenges of navigating relationships amidst misunderstandings and cancel culture. She shares personal experiences of rupture and repair within her community, reflecting on the emotional impact of feeling excluded and the importance of acknowledging one's behavior in relationships. Patricia also highlights the simultaneous beauty of connections and celebrations, even amidst challenges, emphasizing the need for self-acceptance and understanding in the face of adversity. KEY TAKEAWAYS · The emotional toll of being perceived in a way that doesn't match how we see ourselves · Owning mistakes and navigating the possibility of repair (even when others might not be open) · The pain of being excluded from community events and how rejection sensitivity & OCD can flare · Mixed emotions around her birthday — feeling both unseen by some and deeply loved by others · The balance between taking accountability and resisting self-abandonment · Practices of self-compassion when reassurance doesn't come from others · What happens when justice, fragility, and nuance collide in relationships · Her growing love of animals, volunteering with horses, and a longing to return to simple joys · A behind-the-scenes peek into the Unapologetically AuDHD podcast launch · The challenges of time agnosia in friendships and how ND folks can navigate it compassionately · Updates on kayaking, paddleboarding, and listening to her nervous system · A gentle invitation to ask yourself: Would I want to be in community with people who won't repair? HIGHLIGHTS · The challenge of being perceived differently than how we see ourselves. · Rupture and repair are essential components of relationships. · Community can provide both support and feelings of exclusion. · Setting boundaries is a right everyone has. · Cancel culture can complicate personal relationships. · Acknowledging one's behavior is crucial for repair. · It's important to celebrate connections amidst challenges. · Sensitivity is a unique trait that should be embraced. · Self-acceptance is key to navigating emotional turmoil. · Finding joy in small moments can help during difficult times. SOUND BITES “Rupture and repair is part of being human. And sometimes repair doesn't happen — but that doesn't mean we stop showing up with integrity.” “My OCD wants reassurance. And sometimes, I just have to sit with that and give it to myself.” “We all have a primal need for belonging. And when that's taken away, it's a wound that goes deep.” "I want to spend time with animals." "It's okay to not be social." "It's okay to feel connected." SENSITIVITY IS NOTHING TO APOLOGIZE FOR; IT'S HOW YOUR BRAIN IS WIRED You are not broken. You were shaped by systems that weren't built for you. You deserve rest, joy, and support exactly as you are.
