Grounded Positivity: Choosing to Rise Beyond the DarknessIn a world full of "toxic positivity" that tells you to just smile through the pain, it can be hard to find real hope. True positivity isn't about ignoring life's struggles; it is the grounded, honest, and sustainable kind. It is acknowledging the hard days while still remembering that you are allowed to look forward to the future.In today's session, we explore how to retune our perspective and anchor ourselves to genuine joy. Using a calming 4-2-6 breathing practice, we will intentionally release the negative anchors of the past and the heavy weight of expectations. We take up the space we deserve, open our minds to deep relaxation, and choose to rise—not perfectly, and not without difficulty, but with courage. Find a comfortable place, drop your shoulders, and allow these reassuring truths to land in the sanctuary of your mind.Building Our Sanctuary: An Update on the "Anchored" AppI have been incredibly moved and deeply emotional over the staggering support for our upcoming mobile app, Anchored. This dedicated mindfulness space is designed to hold this entire community's journey—bringing every meditation, breathing technique, and moment of calm into one beautiful, ad-free space with a unique nighttime light mode and custom breathing systems.This project is the culmination of my life's work, born out of a desire to create a tool so that someone, somewhere, can find a spark of hope and no longer have to endure their darkness alone. A friend launched a GoFundMe campaign to help secure the development equipment needed to build it, and every single contribution brings us closer to the finish line.Become a Founding Member: If you are in a position to help us get over the line, please email your GoFundMe receipt to hello@calminganxiety.org.

Joy is not frivolous; it is my fuel.""Today, I choose to rise—not perfectly, not without difficulty, but I choose to rise."3 Daily Caring TipsAnchor the Good: Start your morning tomorrow by identifying one specific thing you are looking forward to, no matter how small. It could be an excellent cup of coffee, a favorite track on your morning drive, or a relaxing evening ahead. Anchor yourself to something good.Observe without Fighting: When a negative thought wanders in today, simply notice it without engaging in a battle. Softly tell yourself, "There is that thought again," and allow it to drift past your mind like a cloud in the sky.Productivity-Free Joy: Intentionally do one thing today purely because it brings a smile to your face. Not because it checks off a to-do list, and not because someone else requested it, but simply because you deserve joy.Share the CalmYou just gifted yourself a beautiful pocket of stillness, and that truly is everything.

Smile often, and to your beautiful self... be kind.

Six years ago, I kept finding myself in wellness spaces that weren't built for me, and honestly, weren't built for us. Black women were absent from the center of a conversation that directly impacts our lives, our bodies, and our health. Be Well, Sis was my answer to that. A space built specifically for us, where our voices lead, our experiences are honored, and our wellness is never an afterthought.What followed was you, showing up week after week, listening and sharing and passing the show along to someone you love. You made this something I never could have built alone.To every guest who trusted this mic with their expertise, their stories, and their heart, thank you from the bottom of mine. And to every single listener who has ever pressed play, whether you found us in our very first season or just this week, thank you. You are the whole reason this existed.I'm not entirely sure if this is goodbye forever or simply goodbye for now. Time will tell. But what I know without question is that this community is real, this work matters, and I am so deeply grateful for every moment of it.The conversation isn't over.

“Self-care” sounds cute… until life gets hard.Because what does self-care actually look like when:your child needs you,your nervous system is fried,the house is a mess,grief is still grief-ing,your to-do list is breathing down your neck,and everyone still seems to need something from you?In this deeply honest Thursday Cocoon VIP conversation, Dawn, Joy, and Tiffini pull back the curtain on what self-care actually looks like after divorce—not the Instagram version. Not the bubble bath version. The real version.The version where self-care sometimes looks like: – asking for help – finally prioritizing sleep – taking a walk without your AirPods – saying “that hurt my feelings” instead of overthinking it for 24 hours – choosing rest over productivity – letting something stay undone because your capacity is finite – learning to stop abandoning yourself every time life gets hardBecause if marriage taught you to ignore your needs… divorce doesn't automatically teach you how to honor them.And for many women, self-care after divorce isn't about adding more to the list.It's about unlearning the belief that everyone else comes first.Inside this episode:✨ what self-care actually looks like when life is messy and real✨ the nervous system cost of chronic over-functioning✨ why asking for what you need can feel wildly uncomfortable✨ motherhood, burnout, guilt, and capacity collapse✨ the subtle ways high-functioning women abandon themselves✨ what happens when you stop pushing through depletion✨ the tiny rituals that genuinely help us regulate and reconnectIf you've ever told yourself: “I'll rest when everything is done…”This episode is your reminder:Everything may never be done. And you still matter.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, I'm sitting with something that has weighed on so many of us for far too long — the relentless mental noise around food, what I call food chatter, and what it actually takes to quiet it for good. I'm not talking about another meal plan or a new set of rules. I'm talking about what is happening in your brain when the spiral starts, and the two science-backed strategies that peer-reviewed research has proven can interrupt it. We dig into Rumination-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy — which sounds clinical but is honestly one of the most practical tools I've come across — and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, which teaches you to watch a thought without obeying it, and why that single skill changes everything around food obsession. I also share a story about my sister that still lives in my heart, talk about what my son and the Game of Thrones soundtrack taught me about dropping resistance, and make the case for why sitting down to eat your meal is one of the most underrated acts of self-respect you can give yourself. This episode is grounded in real research, real life, and the kind of honest conversation I hope feels like a walk with a good friend.Quote of the Week: "True silence isn't the complete absence of thoughts; it is the act of stepping back and watching your thoughts without attaching to them or fighting them.

Laughter, Worms, and Sprouts: Cathy Nesbitt on Simple Wellness, Stress Relief, and Sustainable Living | Conversations with a Chiropractor Episode Description In this episode of Conversations with a Chiropractor, Dr. Stephanie Wautier sits down with Cathy Nesbitt, a Health & Wellness Advocate, environmental innovator, certified laughter yoga teacher, and founder of Cathy's Crawly Composters, Cathy's Sprouters, and Cathy's Laughter Club. Cathy brings a wonderfully unique mix of wisdom, humor, science, and lived experience to a conversation about feeling better, living lighter, and finding simple ways to care for both the body and the planet. Stephanie and Cathy talk about laughter yoga, EFT tapping, stress, morning and evening routines, grounding, sprouts, worm composting, and the idea that wellness does not always have to be complicated. This episode is warm, practical, and unexpectedly moving. Cathy offers simple tools listeners can try, from starting the day with gratitude to using laughter as a way to shift the nervous system. She also shares how worms, sprouts, and laughter became connected parts of her work, each offering a small but meaningful way to live with more energy, joy, and care.

Are you a grandparent who finds yourself stepping back into the exhausting world of parenting, unexpectedly raising your grandchildren in the wake of family upheaval? Do you ever mourn the peaceful retirement you imagined, longing for slow mornings and carefree days, only to wake up facing a mountain of responsibilities you didn't choose? Does the gap between the life you hoped for and the reality you're living sometimes feel like a weight you carry in solitude?I'm Laura, and like you, I've wrestled with the emotional complexities of kinship caregiving. There was a time I imagined being the picture-perfect grandmother—apron neat, stories at bedtime, the house always warm and welcoming. But I've endured losses, illness, and heartbreak. I know the ache of wishing for rest and the fear for what would become of our grandchildren if we weren't there for them. The transition from simply doing the right thing to wholeheartedly accepting the role has been my most powerful shift.Welcome to "Grandparents Raising Grandchildren: Nurturing Through Adversity." Here, we peel back the layers of duty, grief, resilience, and acceptance.

You'll hear how to let go of outdated ideals and anchor yourself in the life you have, nurturing your grandchildren and yourself at the same time.You are not alone in this. Together, we'll explore the tools, resources, and mindsets to help you—and your grandchildren—grow, heal, and thrive. This is your boardroom, your community, and your story to author anew.Send us Fan MailDr. Jennifer Brunton holds a Ph.D. in sociology from Columbia University and has a career spanning from college professor to high-level editor and writer for brands like Forbes and Random House. But it is her identity as a proudly Autistic parent of an Autistic son and grandmother/primary caregiver to two neurodivergent granddaughters, 2- and 3-years-old, that fuels her deepest mission. I recently interviewed her for an episode that will be live the end of August 2026.  Jill Bryant has spent years researching the deep complexities of counseling and the lived reality of kinship care as a professor and a grandparent raising a grandchild.

Graduation season is here, and Cheri has a message for every new grad that she wishes she'd heard at 22 instead of figuring out the hard way: nobody is coming to save you. Not your parents, not your therapist, not the perfect partner, not your followers. And once you really get that, it's not depressing — it's the most freeing thing in the world. In this quickie episode, Cheri unpacks what it actually looks like to show up for yourself. She talks about why obsessing over how you look to attract the "right" person is a losing game (spoiler: all the dudes look the same after 60 anyway), why disappointment is almost always a sign you were outsourcing your wellbeing, and how taking 100% responsibility for your life is where the magic actually starts. She also gets into the social media trap — how scrolling through someone else's feed means you're paying attention to their agenda instead of your own — and makes the case for being the master and commander of your own attention. You don't have to record your life. You don't have to report on it. The quietest lives can be the richest ones. The episode wraps with a short seated meditation on letting thoughts come and go without judgment, plus a homework assignment: next time you're standing in line at the grocery store or waiting at the dentist, leave the phone in your pocket. Just stand there. Notice what you're thinking. That's it. It used to be normal. We've lost it. Time to get it back. A few things Cheri wants you to walk away with:You are the person you've been waiting for. Be her. Be him.Pick the kindest partner. Looks fade, kindness compounds.Walk away from people who aren't bringing out your best — no animosity, no diagnosis, just go.Disappointment = you were relying on something outside yourself. Take that as data.Sitting and doing nothing is not lazy. It's a skill, and it's becoming a rare one.Connect with Cheri: Instagram: @thestresstherapist Twitter: @stresstherapy Retreats and offerings: ilovetherapy.com Georgia residents — book a free consultation at thestresstherapist.com Produced and edited by Owen Flake.

Send us Fan MailIn this week's episode 352 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I'm talking about burnout, compassion fatigue, and the deeper reason so many people struggle to consistently care for themselves—even when they know how important self-care is.This episode was inspired by a conversation I saw online about self-care in the helping professions, but the truth is, this applies far beyond therapists, coaches, or healthcare workers. If you're responsible for other people in any capacity, your internal state matters. Your nervous system matters. And your ability to stay connected to yourself matters.Some of the talking points I go over in this episode include:Why self-care is not optional, but a professional responsibilityThe difference between burnout and compassion fatigueHow burnout can be intensified by weak boundaries and chronic over-functioningWhy many people know self-care matters but still struggle to follow through on itThe role internal boundaries play in staying present with others without absorbing their painI also share personal experiences from my early internship work before recovery and compare that to the way I'm able to hold space for people today through the lens of recovery and boundaries work.This episode is a reminder that the issue is not simply knowing what to do. The deeper work is learning how to stay with yourself when guilt, anxiety, urgency, or discomfort show up the moment you try to take care of yourself.Because that's what ultimately protects you from burnout, compassion fatigue, and the ongoing pattern of overriding yourself.Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of practical tips on living a more whole life and to hear even more about the points outlined above.Thank you for listening!

This New Moon in Taurus,  "Soul Worth is Your Core Essence".  This earth elemental  provides a grounding and steadying energy in the life creation process. It is where the “stick-to-it attitude can be seen. This zodiac sign embodies the concepts, ideas and values of creating and building something of worth with lasting value. Taurus is the focal point for bringing ideas into form.  Taurus is the complement to Scorpio, even while referred to as it's opposite sign in astrology discussions.  The basic relationship is that the 2nd house associated with Taurus, is where you begin to recognize your own valued self-possessed resources.  Scorpio, 8th house is how we exchange with others our valued resources, and they with us.  (See previous episode, "Full Moon in Scorpio). One of the key aspects of Taurus is its association with manifestation of physical possessions, and the flow of money as a measure of resources, usable talents, abilities, and skills for exchange. This is the time to reflect on creating both inner and outer heart-centered connections, which offer experiences of personal truth.  Instead of setting intentions from a place of being “not enough or good enough”now is the time to embrace your “Whole Self and Soul Worthiness”.Taurus is the opportunity to express deepest appreciation for being able to live life from Soul awareness. Living in the “Soul Worthiness” way is claiming the ability to be a creator with the Universal Source.  This New Moon in Taurus is an invitation to reshape your mind to create a meaningful, passionate life that will stand the test of time. The Taurus archetype is the awareness of the “spark” animating the physical body.   “I Manifest” principle. The Taurus energy is the nourishing of being through self worth.This New Moon in Taurus brings us into a profound awareness of being a part of Nature.  Of the three Earth signs, Capricorn and Virgo, Taurus brings us into relationship with our physicality.  Every person possesses a unique emanation and energetic life frequency.  When a person actually listens to one's body in cooperation with mind and heart, this comes together as a unique type of intelligence. How do we access our unique personal body intelligence and inner wisdom? Our bodies literally speak to us through the feeling states.  For example,  you get up in the morning and you notice the birdsong, and interestingly, listening to the birds feels calming to you. In fact, you notice your whole body feels rather relaxed. On the other hand, you are walking along on a city street, there are lots people whizzing by, as well as the sounds of heavy machinery drilling, earth moving machines rumbling, and diesel fuel smells are in the air.   Notice how your body sends you signals which are much different from the  relaxation of the birdsong.The sign of Taurus provide us with greater understanding of how our magnificent bodies serve as our central "anchoring" point.  The more we observe, listen and feel our own body-wise connection the more we can live greater heart-centered and Soul led lives.  In essence, we need body/mind/spirit awareness.  During this lunar cycle, the Taurus energy is providing an energetic framework for understanding how to ground and regulate our nervous systems, through tuning into the Earth's frequency.  Currently, on a daily basis millions of people are voicing their feelings about emotional, bodily, mental unrest and psycho-spiritual disconnection.  This New Moon is an invitation from the Universe to seek a quiet space from inside self.  Inevitably the question comes up, "how can I feel peaceful, and where is restfulness to be found? It's inside each one of us, and the guide to self understanding is through our bodies, as the gateways to heart-centered insights. Prosperity and Abundance through Self-WorthTaurus is a feminine and  fixed earth sign.

You know the story. The plane. The propeller. The loss. But surviving is only the beginning. And what comes after is where Lauren Scruggs Kennedy's real story starts.In one of the most raw and deeply human conversations this show has ever had, Lauren sits down to talk about what it actually looks like to rebuild after trauma. The moment in a hospital bathroom, half her head shaved, where reality finally hit. The lies she told herself to cope, and the painstaking work of dismantling them one by one.But this episode goes far beyond the accident. Lauren and KB dig into the nervous system science behind healing - co-regulation, conscious parenting, and how the emotional state you carry as a parent directly shapes your child's sense of safety. Plus, the unexpected role Giuliana Rancic played in bringing Lauren and Jason Kennedy together.You'll walk away with a deeper understanding of:Why the stories we tell ourselves after trauma are often the most dangerous part of healingWhat co-regulation actually means and why it matters for your familyHow identity can be rebuilt, and why it's never as fixed as we thinkHealing is not linear. Identity is not fixed. And sometimes it takes a propeller, a hospital room, and a really good therapist to find the voice you were always meant to use.If this episode moved you, share it with someone who needs it.

If you've ever felt guilty for prioritizing your own health, this episode is for you. As Christian women, many of us were raised with the quiet belief that selflessness means self-neglect. We pour into our families, our patients, our communities — and we run on empty. But what if Scripture actually makes a strong case for taking care of yourself? What if the Proverbs 31 woman has been modeling holistic health all along and we've just been missing it? This episode is for the Christian woman who is exhausted, overlooked, and quietly falling apart while holding everyone else together. If you're a caregiver, nurse, mom, or ministry leader who has put herself last for far too long — this one is for you. --- THE PROVERBS 31 WOMAN WAS NOT WHO YOU THINK SHE WAS Many of us grew up with a narrow picture of this woman — quietly keeping house, sacrificing everything, never asking for anything in return. But a closer look at the Hebrew text tells a very different story. She was an entrepreneur. A real estate investor. A business owner who worked intentionally and strategically. And yes — she took care of herself. • Verse 17 tells us she dressed herself with strength and made her arms strong. She stewarded her physical body. • Verse 22 says she made fine coverings for herself and wore linen and purple — fabrics reserved for royalty and the wealthy elite in the ancient world. She kept something for herself, and she wore her flourishing without apology. • Verse 25 says strength and dignity were her clothing, and she laughed at the days to come. That's not naivety — that's the settled peace of a woman who has done the work. She was not a martyr. She was a prepared, thriving, God-fearing woman who understood that caring for herself was part of caring for her calling. --- GOD DELIGHTS IN YOUR WELFARE — NOT JUST EVERYONE ELSE'S Psalm 37:4 says God delights in the welfare of His servants. Not just your patients. Not just your children. You. If you are His, He is not indifferent to your health, your rest, your joy, or your flourishing. The fruit of your labor is meant to be something you also enjoy — not just something you hand off to everyone around you. This is not a prosperity gospel message. It's a stewardship message. You are the vessel. And a depleted vessel cannot carry much. --- JESUS MODELED BOUNDARIES — AND SO CAN YOU Even Jesus didn't heal everyone in every town every day. He retreated. He rested. He sought His Father. He knew who He was called to serve, when, and how. That framework matters for you too. Not every good thing is your thing. Not every need is your assignment. As it says in 1 Corinthians, we are all one body — each with a specific function. You are not the whole body. You are one part, with a specific gift, a specific calling, and a limited amount of time and energy to steward. When you say yes to everything, someone somewhere is missing the version of you that God actually appointed for them. --- WHEN BUSYNESS BECOMES A HEALTH ISSUE From a holistic health perspective, chronic overextension is not just a spiritual problem — it's a physical one. Boundaries are not just emotionally healthy. They are biologically necessary. Chronic fatigue, autoimmune flares, hormonal imbalance, and burnout are often the body's way of saying what the mouth has been too afraid to say: this is too much. If you haven't read Boundaries or Boundaries in Marriage by Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend, those are worth your time. --- TIMESTAMPED HIGHLIGHTS 0:00 — What Proverbs 31 actually says about self-care and why most of us missed it 0:58 — She made her arms strong, she wore purple: unpacking the Hebrew meaning 2:21 — The caregiving trap: why high-capacity women neglect themselves most 4:45 — Psalm 37:4 and what it means that God delights in your welfare 5:15 — How Jesus modeled boundaries, rest, and intentional service 7:37 — Why not every good thing is your assignment 9:04 — How overextension connects directly to physical illness 10:32 — The invitation: what it looks like to take your next step toward healing --- KEY TAKEAWAYS • The Proverbs 31 woman stewarded her body, enjoyed the fruit of her labor, and wore her flourishing without shame. That is a biblical model worth following. • God cares about your welfare — not just the people you care for. • Jesus himself modeled intentional limits on his service. You are not called to do everything for everyone. • Chronic illness and fatigue can be the body signaling that boundaries are overdue. • Seek God's wisdom specifically — who to serve, when, and how. Not every good thing is your assignment. • You are one part of the body of Christ. Function in your part well, and trust God with the rest.

(8:00) Vinnie shares what processed versus ultra-processed foods are. (9:00) Ultra-processed foods damage your focus even if you otherwise eat healthy. A recent study in Australia measured the effect of processed foods on ADHD. (12:30) For every 10% increase in ultra-processed foods, there was a measurable drop in people's ability to focus on cognitive tests. A 10% increase on average was equivalent to that sandwich-sized bag of potato chips! The FDA has stated that up to 70% of children's diets come from ultra-processed foods. (20:00) New York has rolled out a pilot program to reduce UPFs, and although it's early, the results are impressive. They discuss "Postum propaganda" from decades ago. (25:00) Some of the recommendations for schools, although they aim to move in a better direction, still need to include more real protein and healthy fats. (35:00) Your body can have a type of "muscle memory" and "fat memory," and yo-yo dieting demonstrates this effect. (38:45) Approximately every seven years, every cell in your body has turned over. (40:00) But it turns out your immune system has a "memory" as well, and even though you may have lost weight, your body may still see you at risk. Vinnie is not a fan of GLP-1s because your body can get to a healthier point without having to take drugs. It may not happen as quickly as with drugs, but the side effects are not worth it. (41:35) The "no duh" award this week goes to the study that confirms getting a variety of exercise is good for you! (43:16) They discuss pickleball.

(2:30) Stimulation is the new sugar. Digital detoxes are necessary. (30:00) Vinnie shares what he recently observed at a skating rink. Social media and just watching others is not the same as experiencing life. Anna has been trying to break the habit of using her phone as a pacifier. Mind over Matter. (44:30) Harvard psychologist Ellen Langer did a study that reflected how the mind affects the body. Vinnie summarized the study in a recent Instagram post. After 50 years of study, the results demonstrated that "the limits we accept as biological are almost always partly psychological." (46:00) Vinnie works to stay as viable as possible for as long as he can. (49:00) Why aren't more people talking about these study results? (53:00) It is so important that you don't let your mind fall into the routine of "I can't" or "I'm too old." DO THINGS!
