In this episode of the Dethroning Your Inner Critic podcast, Joanna Kleinman explores why you might still feel empty or disconnected even when life looks good on the outside, uncovering the quiet struggle of “high-functioning depression.” She invites you to stop chasing future happiness and instead tune into your unique biopsychosocial blueprint—your biology, psychology, and social environment—to cultivate real fulfillment from within. By mastering your inner energy, surrendering control, and trusting the Universe, you can unhook from the Inner Critic's fear-driven voice and step into alignment, peace, and your Authentic Self. If you're ready to move beyond surviving and start truly living with clarity and joy, this episode offers compassionate insights and practical tools to redesign your inner world and embrace the life you were meant to live. Your weekly reflection questions: What does feeling truly fulfilled and alive look and feel like for me right now, beyond external achievements? How am I currently managing the voice of my Inner Critic, and what would it take to unhook from its fear-based stories? In what ways can I begin trusting the present moment and the Universe to guide my next steps without needing all the answers?

What if your birth chart held the map to your growth, your healing, and your soul's purpose?In this heart-opening conversation, Ally Maz sits down with astrologer, psychotherapist, and spiritual guide Debra Silverman to explore the intersection of astrology and psychology — and how the stars can illuminate who we are, why we struggle, and how we can move forward with more compassion and clarity.With over four decades of experience, a Master's in clinical psychology, and a deep love for astrology as “medicine for the soul,” Debra brings a blend of wisdom, humor, and spiritual insight to this conversation. She's worked with celebrities like Sting, Madonna, Aaron Rodgers, Shailene Woodley, India Arie, and Julianne Hough — but her greatest gift is helping anyone feel seen and understood. Debra is also the author of The Missing Element and the upcoming I Don't Believe in Astrology, host of the podcast by the same name, and founder of a school that has taught over 7,000 students through her unique 4-element approach to astrology.Together, Debra and Ally explore the high and low sides of our personalities, the power of intuition, and the importance of understanding our charts as tools for self-acceptance and personal growth. They talk about the energetic shifts ahead (yes, even what's coming in 2025), the quiet return of astrology into modern culture, and why young women especially deserve guidance that reconnects them with their emotional truth.This episode is a reminder that resistance is part of growth — and that being seen, understood, and aligned is possible. Tune in and let the stars remind you who you truly are.Episode Resources: Connect with Debra on InstagramBuy Debra's book hereDebra's WebsiteDebra's Astrology SchoolAlly Maz: Instagram / WebsiteThe Ally Maz Show: Apple / Spotify Hosted on Acast.

Sarah went to Vail Pride and is getting very emotional about her LGBTQ journey, the self-doubt she's grappled with, and her goal of self-acceptance. We explore why we're often hardest on ourselves and more accepting of others. Sarah talks about a study on rule followers, and we speculate about why people follow rules even when no one would know if they broke it. We discuss why procrastination can be about avoiding feelings that make us uncomfortable rather than the task itself. Sarah's plant stealing lifestyle continues, and she is having guilt about some *leaves* she picked up off the ground. We debate whether private companies should be allowed to "own" celestial bodies.Our Favorite Bits19:26 - Recent study finds that people might be more honest than we thought30:33 - "Someone's having a good time".

How can we grow into our full potential?—living up to what we know is the best version of ourselves, actualizing our goals, and expressing our deepest purpose in a life of impact and love?Grounded in cognitive science and psychology, best-selling author, podcaster, educator and researcher Scott Barry Kaufman believes that we need to redefine our understanding of greatness and excellence to include our whole selves—our emotions, dreams, failures, and gifts—all to live a life that is fully human, fully yourself.In this conversation with Scott Barry Kaufman, we discuss:Education and formation for the whole person, not just our intellect but our bodies, emotions, and spiritualityMaslow's hierarchy of needs and the journey that leads to self-actualizationThe difference it makes to see the world through growth rather than our deficienciesWhat it means to thrive even in the midst of mental illnessThe horizontal dimensions of transcendenceAnd how to connect and align with your deepest valuesEpisode Highlights“You can be mentally ill and thriving.”“Self-actualization is bringing your whole self to the table—not just one part of you.”“Real transcendence is about becoming one with the world—not being more enlightened than others.”“People are far more likely to demand respect than to give it.”“Only you can walk the path.”Helpful Links and ResourcesVisit scottbarrykaufman.comThe Psychology Podcast with Scott Barry KaufmanChoose Growth Workbook by Kaufman & Feingold*Transcend: The New Science of Self-Actualization,* by Scott Barry KaufmanScientific American: Spiritual NarcissismThe Lights Triad Personality TestSensitive Men Rising DocumentaryMaslow's Hierarchy of Needs Reimagined – Big ThinkCorey Mascara Podcast on ValuesShow NotesOrigin Story and Human ComplexityScott shares his journey from being labeled “ungifted” with an auditory disability to becoming a cognitive scientist.A pivotal teacher asked, “What are you still doing here?”—sparking self-belief and ambition.“I was a champion for the quirky kids from the start.”His work has shifted from an early obsession with greatness to a lifelong pursuit of self-actualization.“Greatness is tied up in power and status. Self-actualization is about bringing your whole self.”Reimagining Maslow & The Sailboat MetaphorKaufman replaces the hierarchy of needs with a dynamic sailboat metaphor.The boat represents safety (security, connection, self-esteem); the sail represents growth and transcendence.“Unless we open our sail and become vulnerable to the wind, we can't move toward what matters.”Adds collective dimension: “There are other boats in the sea. Some people forget that.”Contrasts “horizontal transcendence” (connection) with “spiritual narcissism” (superiority).Mental Illness, Creativity, and ThrivingChallenges the binary between wellness and illness: “You can be mentally ill and thriving.”Cites research showing creative strengths in children of those with mental illness.“They get the goodies without the baddies—the imagination without the psychosis.”Dismantles false dichotomies in psychiatry: labels vs. lived experience.Encourages integration rather than repression of neurodivergence and emotion.Alignment, Identity, and Individual GrowthAlignment—not perfection—is the goal of self-actualization.“Self-actualization coaching isn't about judgment. It's about helping people align with their values.”Different people prioritize different values: connection, power, freedom, meaning.Encourages reflection: What roles do you cherish most? What do you say yes and no to?“Ask: What's my reason for being? What legacy do I want to leave?”Moral Psychology and MatteringDiscusses mattering and the perils of performative self-importance.“Some people matter too much… they take up so much space, there's no room for others.”Proposes a “mattering ecology” for shared dignity and contribution.On moral flexibility: “People who scream loudest often don't like themselves.”Calls for emotional regulation, reflection, and collective moral grounding in a polarized world.Relationships, Whole Love, and SpiritualityIntroduces the concept of “whole love”—where all parts of the self are seen, accepted, and growing together.“It's as simple and as hard as that.”Critiques spiritual narcissism and “dark empaths” who use others for ego validation.Real empathy requires asking: “Am I helping this person for their sake—or because I need to be needed?”“Good character doesn't need an excuse.”Practical Takeaways & Coaching ToolsDirects listeners to Choose Growth, a practical workbook co-authored with Dr. Jordan Feingold.Reflection prompts: What am I proud of? What do I wish to change? What's my legacy?Encourages clarity around values and meaningful roles.Offers self-coaching questions to foster personal development and alignment.Provides listeners with tools for discernment, purpose, and sustainable growth.Pam King's Key TakeawaysScience and spirituality work together as an integrated pursuit of truth.Intelligence is so much more than a thought-process.Self-actualization leads us well beyond the self.Life is like a sailboat: so let the wind fill your sails as you dance on the waves toward our most valued harbor—and may the tides rise for all of us.To be a whole-person means resting in a loving compassion for ourselves and others—an openness and oneness with the world.“Many people could carry you across the bridge, but only you can walk the path.”About Scott Barry KaufmanScott Barry Kaufman is a cognitive scientist, author, and humanistic psychologist exploring the depths of human potential.

Cancer season invites us to work with emotions, intuition, and nurturing creativity as we shift from the active Gemini energy into a more heart-centered space. The archetype of Cancer offers tools for self-discovery, mental health, and spiritual connection by encouraging us to feel our feelings while maintaining balance between openness and self-protection.Cancer, symbolized by the protective crab, beckons us to explore our emotions, intuition, and subconscious with tender awareness. This water sign carries the energy of the cosmic mother – nurturing, creative, and deeply intuitive. Through a beautiful balance of vulnerability and protection, Cancer teaches us to create sanctuary both in our external environments and within our own hearts.Every archetype carries both gifts and shadows. Cancer's light side offers emotional intelligence, creative nurturing, and intuitive wisdom. Its shadow can manifest as emotional baggage, fear-based protection, or unhealthy attachment to past wounds. The journey isn't about eliminating these shadows but finding harmony between them. We learn to practice discernment rather than fear, allowing our hearts to remain both protected and open.Ready to dive deeper into emotional wisdom and heart-centered living? Subscribe to Your Heart Magic for weekly insights that integrate psychology, spirituality, and practical wisdom to nurture your authentic self. How will you honor the cosmic mother energy this Cancer season?Join us next week for an all-new episode of Your Heart Magic and more psychology, spirituality, storytelling, and heart wisdom.--Your Heart Magic is a space where heart wisdom, spirituality, and psychology meet.

Food addiction isn't about willpower.It's about biology.This week's guest, Dr. David A. Kessler, pulls back the curtain on GLP-1 drugs, the medications everyone's talking about but few truly understand. As a former FDA Commissioner, bestselling author of Diet, Drugs, and Dopamine, and someone who has personally used Ozempic, Dr. David reveals what pharmaceutical companies aren't telling you about how they actually work.David shares his own journey with GLP-1 medications, the science behind why they're so effective, and the critical conversations we're not having about safety, proper use, and what happens when you stop taking them.Through science, candor, and vulnerability, he explains:Why food addiction is real, and how it rewires the reward circuits of the brainHow GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic are changing the conversation about obesity and self-blameWhy “just eat less” doesn't work… and never didHow visceral fat creates an invisible storm of inflammation, starting in childhoodAnd what it means to actually change your relationship with food for goodDr Kessler doesn't offer a magic solution. He offers tools: from nutritional rewiring to behavioral insight, from emotional honesty to policy change.Ultimately, he reminds us that health isn't about being perfect. It's about understanding what drives us, learning how to interrupt the cycle, and reclaiming agency in a world designed to overwhelm it.Real healing isn't about restriction. It's about relief.It's not about weight. It's about freedom.Love,Sarah Ann

In this episode, Brad Chandler shares his journey of overcoming unresolved childhood trauma. Brad reveals how his subconscious belief of "not being enough" led to two divorces, millions in business losses, and struggles with anxiety and addiction. He explains that these negative behaviors were not flaws, but outdated survival mechanisms created by his brain in childhood. His breakthrough came not from traditional therapy, but through memory reconsolidation—a technique that rewrites the faulty neural pathways driving these actions. By accessing the subconscious mind, he was able to heal the root cause of his pain. Brad's Linkedin Brad's Linktree

In our second meditation on dealing with feelings of insecurity, Robert encourages us to learn the value of our responses to this uncomfortable emotion. Insecurity feelings and the way we respond to them can cause deep divisions in our relationships to ourselves and to others. Yet at the same time, these emotions hold within them the capacity for greater intimacy in these very same relationships as well. Can you see the value of becoming aware of these feelings and learning how to first cope with them, and finally welcome them as stepping stones to emotional growth?

Text me your thoughts about this epidode ...In today's episode I have the pleasure of recording a podcast episode with my husband!! Together we explore the different approaches of Jupiter and Mercury in a birth chart. We talk about "A Restless Traveller," Zé's autobiography focused on a four-month trip to Europe he took in 1977 at age 23. I have the chance to share the Vedic Mythology how Mercury was conceived (picking up from where Nisha Sankaran and I left off in S2 Ep 11, 12 & 14). The mythology of Tara, Jupiter and the Moon become a touchstone that we returned to throughout the interview. We also discuss the influence of José's Gemini rising sign and the Parivartana Yoga of mutual exchange between Mercury and Jupiter in his birth chart on themes of restlessness, travel, identity, and the search for connection. We explore how his travels and his relationship with his family and romantic encounters, resonated with Vedic Astrologic Houses of self (1st), home (4th), parents (4th & 10th), and the quest for love (7th). We also talk about the process of writing and how revisiting his past led to deeper self-acceptance. I hope you will enjoy learning more about Jupiter and Mercury through this personal episode :)You can order José's book at ...Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/s?k=a+restless+traveller+by+jose+marques&crid=1SBWFIOM57J1O&sprefix=a+restless+traveller+by+jose+marquesLulu.com - https://www.lulu.com/search?page=1&sortBy=RELEVANCE&q=a+restless+traveller+by+jose+marques&pageSize=10&adult_audience_rating=00 Support the show

Dr. Sina McCullough possessed every credential that should have saved her—PhD in nutrition, functional medicine training, master herbalist certification. Instead, she was dying. Too weak to hold a cup. Watching her children from the floor because she couldn't stand. When twenty specialists across two decades dismissed her suffering as "all in your head," this elite-trained scientist made a desperate plea that shattered everything. What happened next defies every principle of conventional healing.Today, Dr. McCullough is a disease reversal expert, author of Hands Off My Food and Beyond Labels, co-host of the Beyond Labels Podcast, creator of the Go Wild healing program, and health columnist for the Epoch Times. But her most earth-shattering discovery came in her darkest hour—when death seemed certain and medicine had abandoned her.Website: https://www.drsinamccullough.com/Epoch Times Column: https://www.theepochtimes.com/expert/sina-mcculloughBeyond Labels Podcast: https://beyondlabels.supportingcast.fm/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@beyondlabelspodFollow on X: http://www.x.com/beyondlabelspodFollow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/beyondlabelspodcast/Chapters00:00 The Mainstream Narrative on Health and Healing02:50 Dr. Sina McCullough's Health Journey05:54 The Search for Answers in Western Medicine09:11 Hitting Rock Bottom and Finding Hope12:04 The Role of Functional Medicine in Healing14:53 The Emotional Component of Disease17:46 Reintegration of Foods and Seasonal Eating20:51 Shortcomings of Functional Medicine24:13The Importance of Emotional Intelligence26:54 The Biofield and Its Role in Healing30:03 The Power of Forgiveness in Healing40:37 Healing Through Emotional Release42:17 Synchronicities and Divine Guidance44:44 The Roadmap to Healing46:43 The Role of Science in Healing48:05 The Power of Light and Energy51:41 Forgiveness as a Path to Freedom56:20 The Science of Light in Healing01:10:37 Coherent Light and Nutrition01:17:47 The Power of Consciousness and Healing01:21:14 Mind Over Matter: The Role of Intention01:24:58 Cultivating Gratitude and Openness01:30:22 Connecting with Divine Messages01:36:31 The Impact of Emotional Healing01:40:47 Releasing Labels and Embracing Balance Dr. Roger McFillin / Radically Genuine WebsiteYouTube @RadicallyGenuineDr. Roger McFillin (@DrMcFillin) / XSubstack | Radically Genuine | Dr. Roger McFillinInstagram @radicallygenuineContact Radically GenuineConscious Clinician CollectivePLEASE SUPPORT OUR PARTNERS15% Off Pure Spectrum CBD (Code: RadicallyGenuine)10% off Lovetuner click here

In this episode, Rebecca dives into the true power of emotional resilience and how it directly impacts your leadership—whether you're leading yourself, your family, or a team. You'll learn how resilience isn't just about bouncing back—it's about building emotional strength, flexibility, and deep self-trust so you can show up as your most empowered self. Key Takeaways: 1. Resilience = Present Moment Power Resilience is the ability to adapt, stay creative, and respond (not react) in the face of stress. When you're operating from the present instead of the past, you lead with clarity and confidence. Self-trust is at the core of true resilience. 2. Your Past Doesn't Get to Drive Anymore Most of your emotional responses today were programmed before age 8. Hypnosis and other healing tools can help you rewire those patterns so you're no longer triggered by old emotional recipes of fear, guilt, or shame. 3. The Path to Resilience is Through Self-Acceptance Daily self-acknowledgment, shifting inner dialogue, and forgiving past versions of yourself are powerful tools to build your emotional strength. Let go of judgment and start noticing what's already good about you. Ready to build your emotional resilience and finally stop reacting from old wounds? Let's talk. Book your free consultation at callwithrebecca.com and take your first step toward lasting healing and empowered leadership.

She encourages listeners to reflect on their own experiences and consider how self-acceptance can enhance their relationships with themselves and others.As the conversation unfolds, Brianne reminds us that embracing our identities—no matter how unconventional—can lead to greater fulfillment and connection.

On this episode of Success is Subjective, Joanna brings you another story from our special former participant series where she extends the opportunity for former participants who feel comfortable sharing their journey with others. Today's former participant is Bryan Fikes. His start to life was what most would consider an American “ideal” upbringing. Attending a private school and having healthy relationships with family and friends, as well as being a strong athlete, Bryan appreciated his early experiences. But by 6th grade, a major transition took place in his life. It wasn't long after that when Bryan found himself becoming a 180 version of who he was before. Addiction set in as he wound up on a dangerous road of uncertainty. Byan shares with listeners how he ended up in such a dark place, and the work he had to commit to in order to find sobriety and stability. He also leaves listeners with a hopeful message about how his transformed life has made it possible for him to support others on their own journeys, and offers advice specifically for parents. NOTE: The podcasts in this series can include sensitive subjects such as suicide, self-harm, substance abuse, hospitalizations, psychotic episodes, and other traumatic experiences which include parts of the treatment journey.

In this heartfelt and vulnerable episode, Lisa Graft — creative storyteller, mom, speaker, Marketing Coordinator at Thrivent and Executive Director of Roots & Wings — opens up about her struggle with people pleasing and how it kept her from living authentically. With raw honesty and deep reflection, Lisa walks us through the pressures of public storytelling, the exhaustion of trying to be everything for everyone, and the breakthrough moment when she realized she had a boundary problem, not a million different problems. Using powerful metaphors like being a Lazy Susan and a circus performer, Lisa paints a picture many women will find deeply relatable — one of hiding, burnout, and longing for more. Her story reminds us that it's never too late to rediscover who we are and set boundaries that protect the person God made us to be.

Hey mission fam! In this week's episode, #205 - Emotional Metabolism, I'm diving deep into what I'm calling "emotional metabolism" - a game-changing way to think about how we process our feelings. Using a fun food analogy, I explain why trying to "get rid" of anxiety or negative emotions actually makes them stronger. Instead, I share how we can learn to feel our emotions the same way we eat nutritious food - with acceptance and purpose. I break down why our brains interpret emotional experiences as threats and how resistance creates more suffering. Through real examples from missionaries and returned missionaries, I demonstrate how simply observing our emotions without judgment can transform our experience. The key takeaway? We're not meant to eliminate difficult feelings, but to metabolize them - just like our bodies process nutrients. If you're struggling with anxiety, negative thoughts, or feeling overwhelmed on your mission, this episode is for you. I'll help you understand that having challenging emotions is completely normal and part of our human design. By the end, you'll have a new perspective on emotional processing that can help you move through difficult experiences with more grace and understanding. 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.

Welcome to a luminous exploration of Gemini energy, where we dive into the profound wisdom held within this fascinating air sign. Rather than focusing solely on Gemini's reputation as the social butterfly of the zodiac, we uncover its deeper invitation to embrace duality and find wholeness through integrating seemingly contradictory aspects of ourselves.This season arrives with refreshing movement after Taurus's grounding energy, encouraging intellectual curiosity, adaptability, and social connection. But beyond these surface qualities lies the heart of Gemini wisdom: learning to hold space for all our parts, especially those we might judge or reject.Key talking points include:• Air signs bring energy of communication, ideas, intellect, curiosity, and movement• Gemini offers a refreshing shift after Taurus season, encouraging social connection and flexibility• True shadow work involves witnessing ourselves with compassion rather than judgment• Learning to see value in both our light and dark aspects creates wholeness• Finding balance between contradictions is easier said than done but essential for growth• Our human journey involves both struggle and beauty - we need both for completenessWhether you're feeling called to embrace more movement and social connection or diving deep into internal integration work, this episode offers both inspiration and practical tools. Try the simple yet powerful journaling prompt of writing "I am" statements that embrace your internal contradictions – a perfect practice for harnessing Gemini's gift of holding multiple truths simultaneously.

Caught in a cycle of blaming others for how you feel? You might think self-acceptance comes from others accepting you first. Wrong. That approach builds walls, creates resentment, and slowly kills your relationships. Codependency, anyone? Giving the remote control to your emotions to someone else NEVER leads to self acceptance. In this episode, Tracy explores: * Why you feel resentment rather than acceptance * What is a trigger that leads you to a world of hurt? * How to actually accept yourself. "Where there is judgment, love is not happening in those moments ~ Love of yourself or the other person." ~ Tracy Crossley

We explore what Zen really means and how we can apply it to our daily routines without it just being some trendy catchphrase. Through this episode, we challenge the idea that our lives are broken and discuss the importance of embracing the present moment as it is. I share personal stories and insights on how Zen can help us find peace amidst chaos. So, let's sit back, relax, and learn how to just be in our moments without the urge to change everything around us.Self acceptance is a journey we all navigate, and in this episode, Steven Webb dives deep into the concept of Zen and how it relates to our everyday lives. He shares a powerful quote: "Zen doesn't fix your life; it stops you needing to." This sets the stage for a conversation about what Zen truly means. It's not just a trendy phrase or a meme we see online; it's about embracing the present moment and realizing that life is not broken, but rather, we often feel the urge to fix things that don't need fixing. Steven invites listeners to explore how to incorporate Zen into their lives, focusing on being present and accepting ourselves as we are. He emphasizes that life is full of challenges, but rather than trying to change everything, we can learn to sit with our experiences and recognize that suffering is part of being human. By adopting a Zen mindset, we can find peace in the chaos and appreciate the beauty of the moment without the constant need for improvement.Takeaways: Zen doesn't fix your life but helps you stop needing to fix it. Being present in the moment allows you to accept life as it is right now. The desire to always fix things can lead to never-ending dissatisfaction in life. Happiness is not an achievement but an experience that happens in the mundane.
In this episode, Tyler talks about how fear of failure — not lack of skill or ambition — often shapes the decisions we make in business and life. Inspired by an off-road racing article, he reflects on how even top performers can be driven more by avoiding loss than by chasing success, and what that means for contractors navigating their own path.
