We talk about what it actually takes to build self-love and personal power from unlearning “good girl” conditioning, to understanding why self-doubt keeps showing up, to realizing that confidence is built through action, not perfection.You'll hear:Why your voice matters and what happens when you stop silencing yourselfHow self-love and worthiness are built (not earned)The mindset shift that changed how I approached relationships, success, and moneyWhy personal growth requires effort and why that's not a bad thingHow trusting your intuition can change everything, even when others doubt youCLICK HERE TO JOIN NEW YEAR, ELEVATED YOUHOW TO ENTER GIVEAWAY:1.

In this deeply real episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with 19-year-old speaker and mentor Lawrence Harris, who has transformed profound personal pain into a mission of purpose. From being kicked out at 13 to battling CPTSD, Lawrence shares how he built resilience not as a buzzword, but as a way of surviving—and thriving. This conversation explores the unglamorous truth of healing, the discipline of self-love, and why encouragement—not expectation—is what youth really need today. About the Guest:Lawrence Harris is a youth mentor, digital entrepreneur, and motivational speaker. Despite his age, he brings lived wisdom shaped by adversity and fueled by an unbreakable will to rise. Kicked out of his home as a teenager and navigating mental health challenges, Lawrence rebuilt his life through small acts of self-discipline, empowering content, and by mentoring others. He now helps young people find their voice and purpose, offering tools through his books, courses, and social platforms. Key Takeaways: Resilience is about choosing to keep going, especially when quitting feels easier. Self-love starts with small habits like brushing your teeth or cleaning your space—discipline before affirmation. Healing is personal; Lawrence emphasizes surrounding yourself with affirming people and cutting off toxic influences. Today's youth don't need pressure to perform—they need validation to be. We must be careful not to glorify trauma but instead showcase the transformation and offer actionable guidance for others.

It's a tale we all know so well. Working hard and diligently building the life you think you're supposed to want—the career, a marriage, a carefully crafted plan. And then everything came crashing down. My guest this week, Becca Eve Young, knows all to well how this story goes. Because she lived it. Her marriage unraveled. She was laid off while alone in a foreign country as a global pandemic hit. Then, just when she thought it couldn't get worse, she gets the call that her father died. Stranded in rural Mexico, cracked open by grief, she experienced a supernatural encounter under the full moon that set her on a wild, often hilarious, sometimes heartbreaking journey. From car crashes and chaotic hookups, to silent meditation retreats, psychedelic revelations, robberies, and mystical moments—this is what happens when life blows up and a woman dares to say yes to becoming someone new.On this guest episode, Becca and I have a lively conversation exploring the concepts and details of her story. I had the privilege to read her book and adored its vibrant tone and how her Soul came through the words on the page. Becca shares about her journey in a raw, hilarious, and deeply human way. She tells us about her experience of how what began as a freefall became a wild quest to untangle grief, rewrite old stories, and rediscover her own worth. Together we share stories and anecdotes of life on the spiritual path and offer insights and guidance for anyone who's ever felt lost in their own life and is searching for more. BIO:Becca Eve Young is a former corporate strategist turned soulful storyteller and devoted to the art of becoming. After a plot twist (or five), she walked away from the societal shoulds to reclaim her voice. Her work lives at the raw intersections of growth, healing, and reinvention—delivered with humor, heart, and a spiritual spark. Her debut book, "It's Gonna Get Messy" is an unfiltered true story of heartbreak, healing and reinvention with a profound supernatural twist. The heart of her story is rooted in ditching the societal script and becoming your most soulful, authentic self. When she's not guiding others through identity shifts in starting their entrepreneurial career or coaching them in finding meaning in the messiness of life, you'll find her barefoot on a surfboard, writing in cozy cafes, and chasing the kind of freedom you can feel in your bones.Connect With Becca:www.beccaeveyoung.com@beccaeveyoung on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/beccaeveyoung/

Betsy Wurzel welcomes Mr. Jay, a Certified Betrayal Trauma Practitioner and Interpersonal Relationship Coach, for a heartfelt and deeply meaningful conversation about emotional healing and reclaiming personal truth.Mr. Jay shares the inspiration behind his children's book I Am Loved Right Where I Am and his powerful 90-day healing journal From Tears to Transformation.He explains how betrayal often leaves people feeling ashamed, broken, and unsure of how to trust again — and why emotional honesty is the first step toward rebuilding your life. Betsy reflects on her own experience with the painful phrase “be strong,” especially after the loss of her son. Mr. Jay offers a compassionate reframe: true strength comes from honoring your emotions, not hiding them. This message resonated deeply with Betsy and will speak to anyone who has carried emotional hurt. ✨This episode is a moving reminder that we are not defined by our past. Healing begins when we take back our power, tell the truth about our feelings, and allow ourselves to grow beyond the pain.

Welcome to Day 8 of the 12 Days of Badassery, where we're diving into the one practice women put off the longest — and need the most:self-love....This episode is your reminder that self-love isn't indulgent, selfish, or soft....It's strength....It's fuel....And it's the foundation of every bold, confident move you make....Today, Marie explores the moments — big and tiny — where you've cared for yourself, honored yourself, invested in your healing, or simply given yourself a breath of grace. Whether it was therapy, a walk, setting a boundary, saying “I need a minute,” or whispering a kinder thought to yourself, these moments are proof of how deeply you're growing. ...Inside this episode, you'll reflect on:✨ The ways you've chosen yourself even when it felt uncomfortable✨ How a little self-love can completely shift your confidence✨ Why slowing down helps you lead stronger✨ The small acts of kindness that add up to massive internal change✨ Marie's personal stories—from Weight Watchers to hot yoga intentions to becoming the unexpected dog-mom with a stroller (all because… love changes you) You'll also hear how one intention — “I love myself” — transformed an entire yoga class and became a new rule for how Marie speaks to herself every day....Today's journal work inside the Proof of My Badassery companion guide invites you to document the moments where you've shown up for yourself, supported yourself, and chosen to treat yourself with compassion. Because self-love isn't just healing…...it's badass.
Stevie B and I talk about limbo land, that murky space so many people end up in early on in dating. The situationship. Not quite together. Not quite nothing.We talk about how any interaction between two people is a relationship, whether you label it or not. And how often one person is being clear about what they want, while the other is quietly hoping it'll turn into something more.We get into wishful thinking. Reading into moments. Convincing yourself that chemistry, closeness, or intimacy means commitment even when the words say otherwise.I share honestly about our early days and how easy it is to override what's being said because you want a different outcome.This episode is about:The cost of staying in the greyWhy clarity matters more than potentialHow self-respect gets eroded in limboAnd why honest communication is the only way outIf you've ever found yourself waiting, hoping, or trying to make something become what it isn't this one will land.Read my book, Authentic - coming home to your true self - AUS, EUR, USAAuthentic The Program - sign up hereCoach with me 1:1 - Book a 20-minute call nowThe Good Life - sign up nowOne-day retreat - March 20th, 2026Write into us - let us know what you want to hearWelleCo - use code KAT15 for 15% off welleco.com.auwww.katjohn.com.auSupport the show

She dives into the difference between secret disputes and public rebukes, providing insight on how Christians should handle confrontation. Allie then looks back at 2025, highlighting the most significant events, such as Donald Trump's inauguration and Pope Leo XIV becoming the first American leader of the Catholic Church.

In this episode of Healthy Mind Healthy Life, host Sayan sits down with Jacquie Elliott to break down why holiday stress and family dynamics can crank up your inner critic. Fast. Jacquie reframes “self criticism” as abusive brain chatter. A deeper pattern of emotional self-abuse that fuels low self-worth, comparison and people-pleasing. You'll learn her ABCs framework to interrupt the spiral, rebuild self-respect and practice self-love in a practical way through awareness, belief and challenge. About the Guest: Jacquie Elliott is a certified spiritual and relationship coach, seasoned radio host and motivational speaker. She's the author of The Silent Bully: A Journey from Abusive Brain Chatter to Self-Love, and teaches simple tools to shift from “tornado head” into boundaries, presence and a healthier inner relationship. Key Takeaways: Name the inner critic for what it is. Jacquie calls it “abusive brain chatter”. Not just negative thoughts but a pattern that bullies, belittles and gaslights you, especially during holiday pressure and family triggers. Use the ABCs framework in real time. A is Aware: notice the script and write it down. B is Belief: reconnect to a loving inner source through journaling, meditation, prayer or a grounding ritual. C is Challenge: replace old core beliefs like “I'm not enough” with one sentence that is 10% kinder and more true. Watch for “Tornado Head”. That spiral where one mistake becomes a whole identity story. The reset is to return “home” to the present moment and get heart centered before you problem solve. Make self love practical. Start with 2 to 3 minutes of meditation. Journal both voices. List your top values and check alignment. Take small actions that build self respect and reduce shame. Build momentum with micro wins. Random acts of kindness and gratitude can create a dopamine lift that supports consistency, confidence and healthier boundaries. Holiday reminder. You do not need perfect mindset. You need a tool you will actually use when things get loud, tense or triggering.

Summary In this conversation, Ali Damron and Kelly Kessler explore the concept of self-respect and the fawning response, discussing how it manifests in relationships and personal dynamics. They delve into the importance of understanding the nervous system, the impact of grief on personal growth, and the necessity of setting boundaries. The discussion also touches on the pressures of holiday expectations, the challenge of asking for help, and the journey towards internal validation. Ultimately, they emphasize the importance of choosing oneself and cultivating a supportive community. Takeaways Self-respect is crucial for personal growth. Fawning is a response to external pressures and expectations. Understanding the nervous system is key to healing. Self-abandonment can lead to unhealthy relationships. Grief can catalyze significant personal change. Choosing yourself often means setting boundaries. The holiday season can amplify feelings of stress and obligation. Asking for help is a vital skill to develop. Recognizing patterns of behavior is essential for change. Internal validation is more important than external approval.

Allie and her father, Ron Simmons, unpack the heartbreaking tragedies that occurred over the weekend: the shooting at Brown University in the U.S. and the massacre at Australia's Bondi Beach. Allie also dives into the impending trial of Charlie Kirk's alleged assassin, where he's facing life in prison or the death penalty. Ron gives his take on the upcoming midterms and speaks into how the seemingly fractured Right can band together to come out victoriously in 2028 against Democratic front-runner Gov.

Allie interviews Dr. Josef Witt-Doerring, a psychiatrist and former FDA drug safety officer. He unveils the truth about Big Pharma and the detrimental side effects of medications for mental illnesses. SSRIs cause more harm than good; they blunt emotions, breed dependency, and often backfire long-term. Dr. Witt-Doerring advises patients to pursue holistic health that includes a balanced diet, sleep, exercise, and therapy. He and his wife have started TaperClinic, where they help people come off medications and find real solutions to their problems. Join us for an eye-opening discussion about the dark side of the pharmaceutical industry.

Today Allie explains why she chose not to teach her kids to believe in Santa Claus. While imagination is powerful, believing in Santa can cause confusion and ultimately muddy the true gospel message of Christmas. Allie provides practical ways and activities for parents to keep Christ at the forefront of the holiday season, like devotional reading and hymn-singing. She then dives into progressive churches, like Lake Street Church in Illinois, that have hijacked Christmas to make it into a political spectacle to push agendas like open borders and illegal immigration. Despite what the Left says, Jesus was not a refugee. He and his family fled within the Roman Empire under divine command; he was not a modern border-crosser. Tune in for biblical clarity and why Christ — not Santa Claus — is the real reason for the season.
