You've been told your whole life that getting older is something to fight off. That your value has a shelf life. That younger is better, more desirable, more worth something. And most of us absorbed that without even questioning where it came from or who it was built to benefit. In this episode Lauren is blowing that up. We're getting into why the fear of aging makes complete sense given what we were taught — and why what we were taught was never actually about us. What aging really gives you. Why accepting yourself means feeling things you've probably been avoiding for a long time. And how to start building real self-trust from the evidence you've already got. If you're a woman who has ever felt like time is running out, like you're behind, like getting older is something happening to you instead of for you — this one's for you.Erikas instaStay connected here Connect with me on Instagram Please email me here: Lauren@ohyeahcoaching.comApply for coaching HEREWould You Date You?

In this episode of Pearls of Wisdom, I explore one of the greatest gifts that we can offer ourselves and one another - the freedom to be exactly who we are!So much of our suffering comes from comparison, from believing we should be different, or from expecting others to think, behave, or experience life in the same way that we do.But what our differences are not obstacles to connection!They are the very thing that makes connection possible?In this episode, I explore:• Why celebrating our uniqueness creates deeper relationships• How comparison disconnects us from ourselves• The importance of developing a healthy inner narrative of self-acceptance• Why waiting for validation from others keeps us searching outside ourselves• Using personality systems as tools for self-understanding rather than labels or limitations• The wonderful paradox of knowing yourself deeply while becoming less attached to your identity• Discovering the awareness beneath the personalityWhen we stop trying to become someone else, we naturally begin to appreciate both ourselves and the uniqueness of those around us.Because true connection is not created through sameness.It is created by honouring our differences while recognising the awareness that unites us all.

Send me a some feedback!In this episode, Mike Kitko redefines personal power and explains why it has nothing to do with controlling others. Instead, personal power is built upon three foundational attributes: authenticity, self-trust, and self-acceptance. As these qualities grow, so does your ability to express the highest version of yourself. Mike also explores the three expressions of personal power—emotional sovereignty, emotional courage, and healthy boundaries—and explains why these internal states must first be chosen and received before they can be expressed. Discover how rewiring your nervous system and embracing healthy selfishness can transform both your inner and outer world.Key Takeaways1. Personal Power Begins with Three Internal Attributes Authenticity, self-trust, and self-acceptance form the foundation of personal power. As these internal qualities grow stronger, your ability to express your highest self naturally expands. 2. Personal Power Is Expressed Through Emotional Mastery Emotional sovereignty, emotional courage, and healthy boundaries are the outward expressions of someone who has cultivated true personal power. These qualities allow you to remain grounded regardless of external circumstances. 3. Healthy Selfishness Is Required for Personal Growth Increasing your personal power requires putting your own growth, peace, and well-being first without intentionally harming others. Healthy selfishness allows you to protect your energy while becoming the highest version of yourself. 4. Your Nervous System Must Learn to Receive New Internal States Confidence, authenticity, self-worth, and personal power are not achieved through external success. They become your reality when you repeatedly choose, practice, and receive these elevated emotional states until your nervous system accepts them as your new normal. 5. Your Inner World Always Creates Your Outer World Lasting transformation doesn't happen by chasing external accomplishments. It happens by upgrading your beliefs, emotions, and internal quality of life first, allowing your external world to naturally evolve as a reflection of your inner state. Notable Quotes"Personal power has nothing to do with hurting other people in the world. Personal power has everything to do with who you become in the world. And who you become is really the greatest version of yourself if you continue to upgrade and level up in your personal power.""Someone who is increasing and experiencing higher levels of personal power becomes radically authentic. They have no issues expressing who they really are in this world. They're the same person behind closed doors as they are in public, and they allow the people who love that version of them to lean in.""Real emotional courage is the willingness to feel any and all emotions and still be okay. It doesn't mean you don't have fear—it means you're not a victim of your emotions, and your nervous system becomes your servant instead of your master.""You can't achieve this. You can't accumulate this. You can't accomplish this. No one can give it to you. No one can gift it to you. This is something you must receive in your mind and body. It's a proactive choice, not a consequence of something outside of you.""Most people keep moving the goalposts because they're trying to feel these things as the consequence of achievement instead of choosing and receiving them first. These internal states are the cause—not the effect—of creating a higher quality life."Call to ActionIf this episode challenged the way you've thought about personal power, spend a few moments reflecting on where you've been giving your power away. Where have you been hiding your authenticity? Where have you stopped trusting yourself? What internal state have you been waiting for the outside world to give you instead of choosing and receiving it for yourself?If you're ready to strengthen your personal power from the inside out, join Mike for the Built to Give, Rebuilt to Receive Workshop on August 28–29, just outside of St. Louis, Missouri. Together, you'll learn how to strengthen authenticity, deepen self-trust, build genuine self-acceptance, and retrain your nervous system to receive the internal states that create a truly powerful life.

In this solo episode, Michele Lamoureux dives into the world of labels — the words we use to define ourselves and others — and explores how they can both empower and limit us. Whether you've been labeled by society, a relationship, or your own inner critic, this episode unpacks the how our opinions of ourselves are formed, the impact of self-labeling, and how to reclaim your personal narrative on your own terms. If you've ever felt boxed in by a title, a role, or someone else's perception of who you are, this conversation will challenge you to think differently about the power of words and identity. Tune in to discover how to use labels as tools for growth and self-awareness rather than barriers to your true potential.

In this episode, I'm covering the fifth pillar of Sexual Intelligence: self-acceptance. This is the pillar that ties everything else together, because no matter how embodied, healthy, collaborative, or self-aware you are, none of it lands if you can't accept yourself as you are right now. I'm talking about the "pleasure thieves" that steal our self-acceptance, like comparison, judgment, and perfectionism, and why so much of our sexual shame was programmed into us before we even knew what was happening. I walk through a mirror exercise you can try this week, share why orgasm isn't the measure of good sex (pleasure is), and answer more listener questions. If you've ever felt like you're not enough, not sexy enough, or not doing sex "right," this episode is your reminder that you already are worthy of pleasure, exactly as you are today.

We all want to be good, but what happens when that desire turns into self-hatred?In this episode, we explore the emotion of self-disgust, the inner voice that says, “I'm not good enough.”How our perfectionism, constant self-judgment, and need to appear “nice” can make us harsh critics of ourselves.We also talk about how this disgust hides behind the mask of narcissism, and why learning to clean our inner space, instead of endlessly correcting ourselves, is the real path to growth.Disclaimer: व्हिडिओमध्ये किंवा आमच्या कोणत्याही चॅनेलवर पॅनलिस्ट/अतिथी/होस्टद्वारे सांगण्यात आलेली कोणतीही माहिती केवळ general information साठी आहे. पॉडकास्ट दरम्यान किंवा त्यासंबंधात व्यक्त केलेली कोणतीही मते निर्माते/कंपनी/चॅनल किंवा त्यांच्या कोणत्याही कर्मचाऱ्यांची मते/अभिव्यक्ती/विचार दर्शवत नाहीत.अतिथींनी केलेली विधाने सद्भावनेने आणि चांगल्या हेतूने केलेली आहेत ती विश्वास ठेवण्याजोगी आहेत किंवा ती सत्य आणि वस्तुस्थितीनुसार सत्य मानण्याचे कारण आहे. चॅनलने सादर केलेला सध्याचा व्हिडिओ केवळ माहिती आणि मनोरंजनाच्या उद्देशाने आहे आणि चॅनल त्याची अचूकता आणि वैधता यासाठी कोणतीही जबाबदारी घेत नाही.अतिथींनी किंवा पॉडकास्ट दरम्यान व्यक्त केलेली कोणतीही माहिती किंवा विचार व्यक्ती/कास्ट/समुदाय/वंश/धर्म यांच्या भावना दुखावण्याचा किंवा कोणत्याही संस्था/राजकीय पक्ष/राजकारणी/नेत्याचा, जिवंत किंवा मृत यांचा अपमान करण्याचा हेतू नाही..

How often do you offer yourself the same kindness you so freely give to everyone else?This guided meditation is a gentle reminder that self-compassion isn't something you earn—it's something you practice. Through mindful breathing, learn to soften your self-critic and release your attachment to perfection. Give yourself a few moments to reconnect with the part of you that deserves patience, understanding, and care.Whether you're carrying guilt, grief, disappointment, or simply feeling like you're not enough today, this meditation offers a quiet space to return to yourself with kindness.Become a brave place for yourself.

Set Lusting Bruce continues its “Pride in Bruce” series for June, celebrating LGBTQ+ stories and the ways Bruce Springsteen's music can become a lifeline. Host Jesse Jackson welcomes Sylvan Groth, his Perfectly Good Podcast co-host, who shares growing up in suburban Boston, coming out as bi in the 1990s amid increased queer visibility, and facing emotional abuse and slurs from her stepfather while her mother tried to keep peace.

Whenever I talk about intuitive eating, women tell me the same thing: "I love the idea, but I don't trust myself around food." And when I talk to dietitians who help people shift from a weight-centric to weight-neutral or inclusive practice, they find it hard to communicate the idea of self-trust. If you can relate to either of these, this conversation is exactly what you need!This week I'm joined by Fiona Sutherland, an accredited practicing dietitian, author, and mentor from Melbourne, and one of the most thoughtful and experienced voices in the world of nutrition. Together we explore why self-trust feels so hard in midlife, especially when your body, hunger, and energy seem to be changing overnight.Fiona and I unpack how years of dieting can chip away at your confidence, why outsourcing your food decisions to a plan feels safer (and what it costs you), and what gently rebuilding trust actually looks like, starting with curiosity instead of control. We also talk about why reaching for support is a sign of courage, and the surprising ingredient Fiona believes most of us are missing in midlife.If you've ever wondered whether you can trust yourself again, I think you'll leave this one feeling a little more hopeful. Listen now.Connect with Fiona: Website: https://www.themindfuldietitian.com.au/ Instagram: @the.mindfuldietitianIf this episode resonated with you, come join us inside The Midlife Feast Community.

In this episode I reflect on a recent trip to Connecticut with my mom. I share my ongoing journey of letting go of perfectionism and embracing the person God created me to be. We talk about the importance of being kind to ourselves, keeping promises to ourselves, and trusting that we do not have to carry every burden alone.I also share a story about meeting a guy at a coffee shop and how that unexpected interaction sparked thoughts about dating, timing, vulnerability, and staying open to new possibilities while remaining grounded in self-worth.This episode is a reminder that life is not meant to be rushed, perfected, or wished away. Whether you are navigating personal growth, relationships, anxiety, or uncertainty about the future, I hope this conversation encourages you to slow down and appreciate the season you are in right now.Fan Mail HereSupport the show
What if the greatest healing isn't found in fixing yourself?What if the breakthrough you've been searching for comes from accepting that you were never broken in the first place?In this powerful conversation, Stacey and I explore one of the deepest beliefs many of us carry on the spiritual journey: the belief that there is something wrong with us that needs fixing.As we move through a period of intense change, endings, new beginnings, and shifting soul contracts, many people are questioning themselves, their relationships, and their purpose. We discuss the difference between healing and fixing, the role of the ego, why so many people feel disconnected from themselves, and how self-acceptance can become one of the most transformational acts of all.Together we explore self-love, intuition, community, soul contracts, relationships, and the importance of holding space for ourselves and others during challenging times.This episode is a reminder that your soul has never viewed you as broken.Perhaps the healing begins when you stop trying to fix yourself and start learning to love yourself exactly as you are.Key Themes

Haramein stresses innovation comes from remembering our oneness with nature's flow, like great thinkers Einstein and Tesla did. Though we fail and falter, he encourages quickly realigning with presence, not judging missteps. By accepting yourself as the universe, you understand others' Buddha nature too.

In this chapter, Reggie crosses more than a physical bridge; he steps into a new understanding of himself.

Samantha (Sam) Shields was born in San Francisco in 1970 and adopted from foster care as an infant. She grew up in nearby Napa knowing she was adopted, and provided many of the same platitudes as a lot of other adopted people: She wanted you to have a better life. She did what was best for you because she loved you. But Sam was certain something was wrong with her. Why else had she been placed for adoption? Failure to bond with her adoptive mom and her adoptive dad's death when she was seven meant that Sam often fantasized about meeting her original mom. After a years-long search, Sam finally located her original mom in 1997 at the age of twenty-seven and was reunited with her until her mother's death in 2020. The relationship was both challenging and rewarding. Both she and her original mom carried the shame of what happened, making self-acceptance hard. Studies back this up: many adoption reunions break down within the first few years after making contact, and after eight years nearly half of those in an adoption reunion have abandoned the relationship altogether. Ultimately, what allowed Sam to find acceptance in herself was by facing her father, the man who had sexually violated her mother. Sam is currently at work on a memoir about her experience of reuniting with her original mother. Season 12 Book: The Adoption Paradox by Jean Kelly Widner Sign up to be part of our mailing list!

What is acceptance is the requirement for growht? What would life look like if you just stopped trying to fix yourself? That's the question at the heart of this conversation with returning guest Alli Spotts-De Lazzer, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Certified Eating Disorders Specialist who has spent nearly 20 years working with people around eating, body image, and the experience of living in a body.We dig into why self-esteem is a shaky foundation in midlife, when opinions of ourselves rise and fall with every hormonal shift and identity change. Alli's working definition of self-acceptance cuts deeper: choosing to stay with yourself even when shame, judgment, ego, or fear try to pull you away. It's knowing yourself, plus self-compassion, plus the willingness to face reality.The biggest misunderstanding we tackle: acceptance is not resignation. Resignation says "it is what it is, there's nothing I can do." Acceptance says "it is what it is. What's next?" One keeps you stuck. The other creates the conditions for growth.We also do a live, unscripted experiment using my own belly and body image history, which turned into one of the most unexpectedly moving moments I've had on this podcast. Alli also shares news about her new book, My Child Has an Eating Disorder: An Essential Guide for Parents of Kids, Teens, and Adults (Bloomsbury Academic, 2026).Connect with Alli: Website: allispottsdelazzer.com Instagram: @allispottsdelazzerRelated episodes:#57 - Story Session: What this therapist wants you to know about making midlife meaningFULL with Alli Spotts-De Lazzer#141 - Trusting Your Body: Finding Peace Through Grief with Nina Manolson#92 - From Body Grief to Body Acceptance: The Way Forward with Amanda Mittman, RD #109 - The Body Acceptance Mistake That's Keeping You Stuck in the Suck What did you think of this episode?

Heela Yang built Sol de Janeiro, one of the most beloved body care brands, from her dining room, but her path there looked nothing like a typical business plan. After twelve years in corporate beauty following stints at Goldman Sachs and a Harvard MBA, she left New York for Brazil for love, only to find herself pregnant, isolated, and unable to do the work that had always defined her. A single afternoon on a beach, surrounded by women of every shape in a very small bikini she'd been talked into, changed everything. In this episode, Heela shares how that moment became the emotional blueprint for Sol de Janeiro, the cult-favorite brand that launched a craze for mists and body care and built a business around embracing your body and skin as it is, no matter what size or shape.

Whitney Walker on the Dark Night of the Soul, Self Acceptance, and Why Souls Keep Coming Back Whitney Walker, LMFT, mental health professional, spiritual seeker, and host of the Women Waken podcast with over 400 episodes, brings a rare blend of clinical training and deep spiritual inquiry. She joins the show to unpack the dark night of the soul not as one bad night but as a recurring reckoning with whether your life is actually aligned with your soul's path. Topics covered: The dark night of the soul as a soul path alignment check, not a single dark moment Her own rock bottom at 29 with alcoholism, eating disorder, and self hatred, and what self acceptance actually required of her Reincarnation, past lives, and why souls choose hard lifetimes Unconditional love as the central lesson and why duality and challenge are required to learn it Self destruction as a symptom of conditional belief systems imposed from birth Bill Gates as an unsettling example of a master manifestor whose beliefs are perfectly aligned Tarot cards, channeling, and the difference between higher self guidance and AI feedback loops How therapists hold space for trauma without absorbing it The Women Waken podcast origin story and the synchronicity that launched it Stuart Wilde, Neale Donald Walsch, and Dolores Cannon as foundational influences https://womenwaken.com/ Keywords: Whitney Walker, Women Waken podcast, dark night of the soul, soul path alignment, self acceptance and recovery, reincarnation and past lives, unconditional love, spiritual awakening, tarot and channeling, mental health and spirituality
