In this episode, Christina opens up about what she's been seeing in her recent client sessions — and it all comes back to authenticity. She dives into how staying true to who you are isn't just a personal value, it's a business strategy.Christina shares how divine guidance shapes her approach to coaching and why clarity is the cornerstone of success. She breaks down what it really means to attract aligned clients and why it's not only okay — but essential — to accept that not everyone is meant to be your person.If you've ever struggled with people-pleasing, second-guessing your path, or trying to fit into someone else's version of success, this episode is your reminder: you get to choose authenticity, every single day.
My guest is DJ Shipley, a former Tier 1 operator Navy SEAL and now a top public educator on how to build mental and physical health and reach top-level performance in any endeavor. DJ's life is one marked by extraordinary strivings, wins, setbacks and comebacks that together have shaped his approach to overcoming challenges of all kinds and to daily life. DJ explains a regimen of clear, practical steps and a mental stance that can allow anyone—male, female, young or old—to build extreme resilience of mind and body and to be successful in family and work. We also discuss his experience with new, emerging treatments for addiction, PTSD and depression that many people, not just veterans, are benefiting from. The tools DJ describes to “stack small wins” and to be ultra-intentional about your mindset will be of immense benefit to anyone wishing to achieve the best version of themselves.

This week we're discussing Why Self-Care Can Trigger Single Parents For many single parents, the idea of self-care doesn't feel like a gift. It can feel selfish, unrealistic, or even triggering when you're already carrying the full weight of responsibility. This conversation explores the complicated relationship single parents often have with self-care, why it sometimes feels like a weapon, why the myths around it can be harmful, and how to redefine it in a way that actually builds resilience. Today, we cover three main points: When self-care gets weaponized The myths of self-care Redefining self-care for real life When you've been told to just “take more time for yourself,” it can feel dismissive. But when self-care is redefined as everyday disciplines and intentional choices that align with your real needs, it becomes a tool for healing and strength, not shame or guilt.

In this episode of "Life After Kids," Dr. Brooke and Dr. Lynn delve into the emotional intricacies and practical realities of sending a child off to college. With Dr. Brooke traveling and accommodating a unique broadcasting setup, the hosts explore the emotional rollercoaster that parents, especially mothers, experience during this transition. They candidly discuss topics like emotional turmoil, sleep disruptions, and the evolution of personal identity when children leave home. The episode is grounded in personal anecdotes and professional insights from Dr. Lynn, whose recent transition to an empty nest brings authenticity and relatability to the discussion. Through a conversational lens, the hosts cover "Five Truths About the First Week of College That No One Tells You," sparking resonance for those who have recently bid farewell to college-bound children or are preparing for this life stage. They emphasize the inevitability of emotional ups and downs, the temporary nature of sleep disruptions, and the necessity of personal evolution and self-care during this life stage. Dr. Brooke and Dr. Lynn also offer wisdom on processing emotions, the patience needed for re-establishing routines, and the importance of maintaining perspective as both parents and children adapt to new roles. Key Takeaways: Embrace Emotional Waves: Accept the emotional fluctuations that come with sending children off to college as normal and temporary phases. Prioritize Self-care: Understand that changes in family dynamics and routines require attention to personal well-being and adequate rest, even when sleep seems elusive. Personal Growth: Recognize this transitional phase as a time for personal and familial growth, allowing yourself time to adapt to new life circumstances. Manage Expectations: Balance personal joy with your child's struggles, knowing it is possible to hold space for both without diminishing your role as a supportive parent. Community Support: Remember the importance of a support network—including siblings, friends, or family—that can provide additional perspectives and guidance for your college-bound child.

What happens when perfectionism sneaks into self-care? In this episode of Mucked Up My Self-Care, Jill and Linda unpack the tension between wanting everything “just right” and the messy reality of motherhood. From waiting for the perfect moment to spiraling into guilt when plans fall apart, they share raw reflections on how perfectionism holds us back and what it looks like to embrace imperfection instead.In this episode, you'll learn:Why perfectionism and vulnerability don't play well togetherHow high expectations set us up for frustration and burnoutThe hidden trap of waiting for “perfect timing” before doing self-careWhy nature and movement are powerful (and imperfect) forms of self-careHow rest, even when unplanned, counts as real self-careSimple ways to reset when self-care doesn't go as planned Self-care isn't about picture-perfect timing or flawless execution; it's about meeting yourself where you are. Jill and Linda remind us that sometimes the most powerful form of care is letting go of expectations and embracing the imperfect options in front of you. If you've ever delayed self-care because the stars didn't align, this episode will help you reset, refocus, and take the pressure off. Until next week, we hope you can unstuck your muck!
https://enlighteninglife.com/octobe-2025-energy-report/The first thing I noticed about October is the double 10 energy. October is the 10th month and October 2025 is a 10 (10 + 2025 = 10). Remember in numerology you break numbers down to single digits between 1 and 9. After the double 9 of September, which created completion, closure, and release, October's 10 energy means action, movement, and reclamation. 10 is the staff of action, 1, with the 0 of potential. 0 is not ‘nothing', it is no thing, pure potential waiting for us to set an intention for energy to manifest.And one more thing about October, in the midst of the action, the month opens with the moon in Capricorn, harkening back to the heavy Capricorn action we had from 2020 to 2024 with both Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn and the infamous Saturn/Pluto conjunction of March 2020. This is not a dire prediction of bringing back the restrictions, evil, and 3D energies of that time. Rather it's time for reckoning, not reconciliation and I believe that in October we are going to see many examples of reckoning and retribution.October's full moon on the 6th is a call to action, taking us from the heavy lessons of Virgo and Pisces in August and September to the bold, brave action of Aries with some cautions. It is not the time to go blasting off into the stratosphere; rather, it's time to make careful plans and focus on elevation, rather than escape. Take the careful planning of Virgo, together with the highest potential of Pisces and use that to plan deliberate, intentional action.

Author and Ayurvedic practitioner Heather Grzych sits down with Kirti Tewani to explore a refreshingly holistic and creative approach to beauty, wellness, and Ayurveda. They discuss everything from resisting cultural norms like gray hair and navigating natural beauty influences, to the lessons we inherit from our mothers about health. Kirti shares insights on the joy of skincare routines, the role of Ayurvedic practices like oil pulling, and the importance of listening to what our bodies truly need: including sleep, stress management, and understanding subtle cues, or our “inner body voice.” They dive into how travel, local culture, and city living affect wellness, why no one owns Ayurveda, and how even reading a single book can shift your perspective on your body and the world. Along the way, they explore how beauty and wellness are inseparable, the power of silence, and why age isn't always the culprit behind back pain - all underscoring a deeply personal, mindful, and culturally rich approach to health.

Send us a textIn this episode, I delve into the challenging balance between 'doing' and 'being'. I discuss our cultural obsession with productivity and how it even extends to our self-care practices, creating a tension between implementing health routines and simply being present. Sharing some personal anecdotes and reflections, I emphasize the importance of rest and the need to cultivate more moments of doing nothing, as well as the benefits of practices such as yoga nidra to rejuvenate the nervous system.

We are so excited today to share the first episode of our new podcast How To Not Lose Your Sh!t. We've been hearing from women in our community that they want to get involved and make a difference, but they're overwhelmed. They're scared. And we hear you — we feel the same way so much of the time. But we have a theory: what if self-care and politics aren't actually opposites? What if connecting with our neighbors and making real positive change can make us feel even better than a bubble bath or a manicure?This week, we're joined by our favorite historian, Heather Cox Richardson. Heather chatted with us about how she writes her newsletter every day without losing her shit, why our connections with each other are so important, and why she's optimistic about the elections coming up in November.For a transcript of this episode, please email comms@redwine.blue.

A relentless stream of fear, attacks, and psychological warfare designed to wear us down, to make us give up hope.So how do we stand strong in the middle of all that? How do we keep our hearts from breaking under the weight of it?Today, I have a story for you. It's not just powerful—it's one of the most powerful stories I've ever heard about finding courage, resilience, and unshakable love in the face of fear.

Sometimes life looks abundant from the outside, but inside you may feel numb or empty. This episode explores why that happens and how to rediscover sparks of aliveness. I've been in that place where everything looked good on paper - my calendar was full, my family cared for, my fridge stocked - yet inside I felt hollow. It's confusing and even scary to admit that emptiness when you think you should feel grateful. But that ache isn't a flaw, it's an invitation. In this episode, I share stories and practices that helped me follow sparks of joy back to a life that feels alive again. Action Steps: - Pause and breathe: Notice that emptiness isn't a sign you're broken, but a signal to pay attention. - Reframe fulfillment: Recognize that abundance outside doesn't guarantee fullness inside. - Notice sparks: Watch for small moments that stir joy, then let yourself follow them. - Try simple practices: Step barefoot in the grass, sing in your car, or sip tea without distractions. - Say no when needed: Protect your energy by releasing what doesn't feel aligned.

So many of us have been taught to ignore our bodies—to overwork, overgive, and override our intuition. In this episode, I'm joined by intuitive psychic medium and author Aycee Brown, who shares how human design, astrology, numerology, and ancestral wisdom can guide us back home to ourselves.Aycee Brown brings a refreshing, grounded perspective to the world of spirituality. As a psychic medium and teacher, she uses tools like human design, numerology, and astrology not as rigid labels, but as pathways to self-trust and healing.In our conversation, Aycee reflects on growing up in a family of healers, healing from emotionally immature parents, and what it means to shed the weight of respectability politics. We talk about the traps of capitalism and hustle culture, how projectors often get mislabeled as “overnight successes,” and the importance of honoring your design in relationships.

We've all heard it: “If you're drinking five nights a week, cut back to three.” It sounds like a reasonable step, but here's the truth—your brain doesn't heal from “just less.” In fact, even small amounts of alcohol keep your reward circuitry, stress hormones, and sleep disrupted. In this episode, I dive into: How alcohol hijacks dopamine and why cutting back doesn't restore balance The pain-pleasure seesaw (Dr. Anna Lembke's research) and why even one drink tips it Why your stress, sleep, and mental clarity don't truly improve until abstinence The powerful stats that prove there's no safe level of drinking A reframe: how choosing alcohol-free is not deprivation but the gateway to freedom I also talk about the word abstinence—why it can feel heavy, clinical, or judgment-laden, and how we might meet it with curiosity instead of resistance. Whether you're exploring your own alcohol-free path or supporting others, this episode gives you the science and the inspiration to see why “just one less” keeps us stuck. Show Notes

In this groundbreaking episode of hol+, Dr. Taz MD sits down with award-winning researcher and author Dr. Sarah Hill (This Is Your Brain on Birth Control) to reveal the shocking, little-known science of how hormonal contraception shapes not just your reproductive system, but your entire mind and body.From altered stress responses to shifts in attraction, depression risk in teens, and the controversial “bikini science” problem in medical research, Dr. Hill pulls back the curtain on decades of overlooked studies that every woman and parent should know about. She shares her own journey from evolutionary psychologist to outspoken women's health advocate, explaining why synthetic progestins are not the same as progesterone, how birth control affects your immune system, and why teenagers may be especially vulnerable to its mental health effects.If you're a woman in your teens, 20s, 30s, or 40s—or a parent guiding your daughter—this episode could change the way you think about hormone health, fertility, and your body's natural rhythms.Dr. Hill and Dr. Taz discuss:How birth control changes the brain's structure and functionThe difference between progesterone and synthetic progestins (and why it matters)Why “bikini science” has failed women in medical researchThe surprising link between birth control and partner attractionThe immune system's hidden connection to hormonal cyclingTeen mental health risks: depression, anxiety, and brain developmentSafer contraceptive choices and how to support your body if you use the pillHow nutrition and micronized progesterone might help offset side effectsThis conversation is more than just information — it's a wake-up call for how we study, prescribe, and support women's health.Topics Covered:Hormonal birth control's impact on the brainSynthetic hormones vs. bioidentical hormonesPartner choice and relationship satisfaction researchAutoimmunity and immune system differences in womenMental health risks for adolescent usersNon-hormonal birth control optionsNutritional and hormonal support strategiesConnect further to Hol+ at https://holplus.co/- Don't forget to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell to stay updated on future episodes of hol+.About Dr. Sarah E.
