Podcasts about self care

In this conversation, Laura welcomes Dr. La-Toya Gaines, Founder & CEO of Family Matters Counseling and Psychological Services, to explore what it truly means to practice whole self-care—beyond the trends, beyond the myths, and beyond the surface. La-Toya expands the definition of self-care beyond activities and indulgence to include rest, boundaries, community support, emotional tending, identity work, and the practices that allow us to be fully human. Additionally, Laura and La-Toya examine the deep connection between the Strong Black Woman archetype and self-neglect. They unpack how this trope shapes our labor, our silence, and our expectations of ourselves; and how whole self-care disrupts it. Together, they examine the emotional, psychological, physical, and communal layers of care that Black women need and deserve. For those who feel they've been neglecting themselves, La-Toya offers compassionate first steps to reconnect, rebuild, and recommit to their wellbeing. This heartfelt conversation offers both grounding insight and practical guidance for anyone ready to reconnect with themselves, disrupt harmful tropes, and reclaim self-care as a path to healing and liberation.   About Dr. La-Toya Dr. La-Toya S. Gaines is a licensed psychologist, speaker, and best-selling author dedicated to empowering Black women to prioritize their mental health and well-being. As the founder of Family Matters Counseling and Psychological Services, Inc., she offers therapy, intensives, and group programs designed to help Black women break free from the "Strong Black Woman" narrative. Dr. Gaines is a sought-after speaker, presenting at national conferences and corporate trainings on mental wellness, workplace mental health, and burnout prevention. She authored the Amazon best-selling "Nourishing the Strong Black Woman" Self-Care Journal and is working to expand its reach through licensing.

Was Jesus kind of a stand-up comedian?I mean think about it... A priest, a rabbi, and Jesus walked into a bar. Only Jesus recognized the setup for a joke. I never really thought about Jesus being funny or not. I mean, we've heard the stories 1000 times and... I usually smile at the funnier parts, but I never exactly said, Jesus is really funny!Then I found a little book that really opened my eyes.I will share that with you today as we talk about how funny, profoundly funny, Jesus was. We sure could use a few laughs right now.Send us a private message. *Note: INCLUDE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS if you'd like us to answer. :-) Support the show

Millions of women say the same thing in their late 30s and 40s “I don't feel like myself anymore.” Fatigue grows, stress tolerance collapses, brain fog hits, and everyday tasks suddenly require more effort. Yet most are told it's “normal aging,” “just stress,” or “anxiety.”In this hol+ episode, Dr. Taz sits down with functional medicine expert and bestselling author Dr. Mariza Snyder to ask the hard questions about perimenopause, what it is, when does perimenopause start, and why rage, irritability, and cognitive changes are often the earliest symptoms women experience.Together, they unpack why perimenopause is widely misdiagnosed, why progesterone decline shows up long before hot flashes or missed periods, how estrogen fluctuations affect brain function, and why so many women feel like their identity, mood, and capacity are suddenly slipping away.From mood swings, brain fog, and sleep crashes to metabolic slowdowns and rising visceral fat, this conversation reframes perimenopause symptoms as hormone-driven neurological and physiological shifts — not personal weakness, aging, or lack of willpower.You will learn what perimenopause is, what age perimenopause starts, why rage and irritability show up first, and how to track early hormone changes through menstrual patterns, symptoms, biometrics, and stress physiology. Dr. Taz and Dr. Mariza also share lifestyle tools, boundaries, morning and evening routines, and targeted support that help stabilize brain energy, mood, and metabolic health during this transition.Dr. Taz and Dr. Mariza discuss: • What is perimenopause and why it hits earlier than women expect • When does perimenopause start and what age perimenopause typically begins • Why perimenopause rage is real and often the first warning sign • Perimenopause brain fog, cognitive shifts, and declining stress tolerance • Progesterone decline, estrogen fluctuations, and why hormones become unpredictable • Perimenopause vs aging: why symptoms are dismissed or misdiagnosed • Mood swings, irritability, fatigue, and the identity shift many women feel • Early metabolic changes in perimenopause and why belly fat increases • How to track symptoms, cycles, HRV, sleep, and biomarkers for early clues • Tools women can use: routines, nervous system regulation, boundaries, lifestyle resets • When progesterone or estrogen support can make a meaningful difference • Why community and sisterhood become critical for emotional resilienceAbout Dr. Mariza Snyder Dr. Mariza Snyder is a functional practitioner, women's health expert, hormone educator, and bestselling author of The Perimenopause Revolution. With over 15 years of clinical experience, she helps women navigate perimenopause and midlife with clarity, confidence, and science-based tools that support hormone balance, brain health, emotional resilience, and metabolic vitality. Her work empowers women to understand what perimenopause is, recognize early symptoms, and take back control of their health with practical strategies and integrative support.Stay Connected:Connect 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+.Follow Dr. Mariza Snyder:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drmariza/Podcast: Energized with Dr. Mariza Book: The Perimenopause Revolution Follow Dr. Taz on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drtazmd/https://www.instagram.com/liveholplus/Subscribe to the audio podcast: https://holplus.transistor.fm/subscribeSubscribe to the video podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@DrTazMD/podcastsGet your copy of The Hormone Shift: Balance Your Body and Thrive Through Midlife and MenopauseHost & Production TeamHost: Dr. Taz; Produced by ClipGrowth.com (Producer: Pat Gostek)

Today's quick episode is all about the one thing most high achievers avoid but desperately need: space to think.So many of us stay busy out of habit, even when we say we want change. But your next level doesn't come from doing more—it comes from creating room for clarity, intuition, and the ideas you can't access when you're running nonstop.I'm sharing a powerful question I'm giving all my clients for 2026:If a billion-dollar CEO took over your business and life, what are the first three things they'd remove from your plate?To grow, you need four things: clarity, confidence, space, and delegation. And if you think you don't have time for any of this—I promise, your screen time says otherwise. If you enjoyed this episode, make sure and give us a five star rating  and leave us a comment on iTunes, Podcast Addict, Podchaser and Castbox about what you'd like us to talk about that will help you realize that at any moment, any day, you too can decide, it's your turn! 

Today and for the rest of the year, I am offering out one tiny little micro practice each week for you… for us, if I'm being honest… To take into our days and say “I love you lots!” to ourselves.In this one, we're seeing how it feels to celebrate a creative win.Sending you love today

Motherhood is often sold as “natural” and intuitive - but for so many women, it feels overwhelming, confusing and nothing like they expected. In this episode of A Millennial Mind, I sit down with parenting expert Zoe Blaskey to explore the real, science-backed identity shift of motherhood, from hormonal changes and brain remodelling to the emotional load no one prepares us for. We talk about why becoming a mum can feel like a second adolescence, how societal pressure fuels burnout, and why guilt shows up even when we're doing our best. Zoe shares practical tools for setting boundaries, finding yourself again, strengthening your partnership, and making motherhood feel lighter, calmer and more intentional. If you're a mum, planning to be one, or simply curious about the truth behind the transition into motherhood, this conversation will help you feel seen, supported and less alone. Who This Episode Is For ✨ Mums feeling tired, overwhelmed or burnt out Women struggling with the identity shift of motherhood (matrescence) Anyone carrying “good mother” guilt or pressure Parents wanting healthier boundaries and calmer homes People curious about the science behind motherhood What You'll Learn ✨ Why motherhood feels harder than we're told The science of matrescence (your “second adolescence”) How to set boundaries without guilt How to lighten the mental load How to strengthen your partnership after kids Practical ways to enjoy motherhood more of the time 00:00 Introduction to Motherhood Myths 00:08 Guest Introduction and Initial Reactions 00:17 Understanding Mares Essence 00:53 The Neuroscience of Motherhood 01:39 Podcast and Book Journey 03:44 Personal Development and Coaching 04:58 Navigating Motherhood Challenges 06:36 Self-Compassion and Resilience 29:26 Debunking the 'Having It All' Myth 41:26 The Guilt of Self-Care for Moms 42:38 The 'One for Me, One for You' Tool 43:55 Challenging the Selfless Mother Narrative 45:32 The Concept of Minimum Viable Needs 46:17 The Mental Load and Super Mom Myth 47:17 Mother Kind Toolkit: Identifying Pressure Sources 51:10 Navigating Family Expectations and Boundaries 01:08:39 The Value of Caregiving and Shared Responsibilities 01:14:42 The Physiological Changes of Parenthood 01:17:47 Final Thoughts and Self-Compassion

Episode 2730 - Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino host guests for a call-in show to discuss steps into NSNG, the need to "flip the script," and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/12/flip-the-script-episode-2730 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VILLA CAPPELLI EAT HAPPY KITCHEN YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE - @FitnessConfidential Podcast Flip the Script Vinnie just got back from Barbados, his first real vacation in a while. (3:00) He shares a story of how the locals were friendly and helpful. He didn't, however, engage with a pina colada as planned. The first caller is Ty. He got to meet Anna at a fundraising comedy show, and it was better than Disneyland. (17:00) He and his partner, Michelle, are members of the VIP group and love the community. (19:00) Ty's question: Summarize for newcomers to NSNG, the easiest first step one can take when starting. Anna: Start with your favorite proteins and build around that. Grilling and stovetop first—quicker and easier to get into. (25:00) Vinnie reminds you to be mindful, but avoid being carb-phobic. Cruciferous veggies are your friend. (29:00) Second call-in guest is Trish: Trish has been NSNG off and on for years. She is struggling to get back into it mentally. They discuss various reasons. Be careful of the story you tell yourself. You need to flip the script in your head. (40:00) Leslie is starting her own trail mix company with clean ingredients. (43:00) She's done a lot of research, and it'll be especially great for camping and hiking. Nutrition and Meds Amy is the next caller, and she has a nutrition question. She recently had an intestinal blockage and was in the hospital. (53:00) They discuss possible options as Amy transitions back to regular foods from IV fluids. She is a former triathlete who wants to transition into weight training. (59:30) You can get strong without hours of training. Wayne is next and needs to be wearing some different t-shirt merch. (1:24:00) He tried to transition slowly into NSNG—he's not a "cold turkey" kind of person. He has some concerns with his blood pressure and the medication he is on. Vinnie does not give medical advice, but they discuss what could be causing it. They advise Wayne to get a full health workup and to let his doctor know that he has changed his meds.

Offer your magic where it can land, because you can only help those who are ready. In this client session, we explore the tender heartbreak of being the fixer, the one who loves so deeply that she carries responsibilities that were never hers to begin with. Together we look at how years of emotional weight, unspoken expectations, and the urge to rescue others can settle into the body as exhaustion, illness, or a blocked intuitive channel. What she shares about her family, her heart, and her journey reveals a truth many sensitive, empathic people know too well. Love becomes heavy when we keep offering it to those who cannot hold it. Join us in this session as we talk about the grief of letting others walk their own path, what it means to honor your gift without overgiving, and how stepping into your purpose requires releasing the weight that never belonged to you.

Self-care isn't always about adding more to your skin care routine or journaling regimen; often, it starts with doing less. It's a simple, therapeutic reframe: what if the best thing you can do for your well-being, or your finances, is take something off your plate? If you're craving a low-maintenance life that actually supports your mental and financial health, this is your invitation to try a new and much gentler approach. In this episode, financial therapist Lindsay Bryan-Podvin explores self-care by subtraction. She shares how simplifying your money life can ease burnout, reduce overwhelm, and reconnect with what actually matters.READ THIS INSTEADhttps://www.mindmoneybalance.com/blogandvideos/financial-self-care-by-subtraction

This week Ivy Slater, host of Her Success Story, chats with her guest,Tara Chalakani. The two talk about the evolution and impact of Preferred Behavioral Health Group, the importance of authentic relationships in nonprofit leadership, and the powerful role of self-care and trauma-informed culture in supporting employees and clients. In this episode, we discuss: How a small local operation launched in 1978 turned into a $39 million organization with 500 team members—by chasing the right grants and growing programs that truly matter to the community. What sets Preferred apart is its culture—rooted in excellence, integrity, and compassion. You can see it in the way staff stick around and in the industry awards they've picked up, like being named one of New Jersey's "Best Places to Work. When conversations about women's leadership, self-care, and trauma-informed workplaces come up, both Tara Chalakani and Ivy Slater share what it really means to lead by example—and why you have to pour from a full cup to do it well. Why nonprofit leadership in mental health matters now more than ever—because the pandemic pushed mental health to the forefront, breaking down stigma and sparking a national conversation about the care people really need. How Tara Chalakani shifts the idea of nonprofits as competitors and instead focuses on working together, showing how collaboration can better serve the shared mission of improving mental health. Dr. Tara Chalakani is a national mental health expert and dynamic leader. As the CEO of Preferred Behavioral Health Group, Dr. Chalakani leads a team of 500 employees providing quality mental health care, substance use treatment, and prevention services to almost 30,000 individuals a year, across New Jersey. In addition, Dr. Chalakani maintains a private psychotherapy practice and is currently an appointed Associate Professor at the Hackensack University School of Medicine, Dept. of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health. She has also taught Psychology and Mental Health Counseling curricula at the undergraduate and graduate level. Dr. Chalakani holds a doctoral degree in psychology with a concentration in behavioral health leadership, a master's degree in mental health counseling, and undergraduate degrees in nursing and psychology. All of her advanced degrees were earned while raising her children and working full-time. Dr. Chalakani is a frequent guest on national and local media outlets, public speaker, and co-host of the Welloff Podcast through iHeart Media. Dr. Chalakani is a regular contributor to Forbes, and the inaugural leader of the Forbes Nonprofit Council Women Executives group. She is most proud of her Puerto Rican heritage and her humble beginnings in Newark, NJ. All of her successes were achieved despite all the odds being stacked against her. For this reason, she is a champion of women, the marginalized, and strives to be a person that offers others a fighting chance at being who they were destined to become.

Hi and welcome to How Humans Heal. I'm Dr. Doni Wilson, and in this episode I'm going to talk about how to take care of ourselves and our health during the holidays. Very often what I hear from people is that we hit a certain point in the year and then when the holidays start happening—no matter which country you live in and no matter which holidays you observe—the holidays can really throw off your healthcare routine. Next thing you know, months go by and you find yourself coming out of it thinking, "What just happened to me?" And you have to start all over again. I want to share some tips with you so that hopefully I can help you to change that pattern and even improve your health during the holidays. These same tips will help you if you're under stress of any type. A lot of times, if you're going through a point in your life where there's a lot of activity, extra things going on, extra demands emotionally and physically on yourself, that's when we tend to take care of ourselves LESS when we should be taking care of ourselves more. I want to encourage you that it is possible to learn to take care of yourself during times of stress. It's start with awareness and a willingness to observe ourselves. And specifically, a willingness to be gentle and loving with yourself instead of judging yourself or being critical or harsh on yourself. I'm here to help you!

Send us a textIn this episode, I finally name what has been living in the background of everything: my mother's death, and the grief that took me under. I share how losing her shattered the life I thought I was living, and how that rupture rippled into this podcast: why I went quiet and what it has meant to be reshaped by grief instead of trying to outrun it.Inside this episode, I talk about:The story of my mother's death and the immediate aftermathHow grief hijacked my body, my nervous system, and my creativityThe guilt and shame of disappearing from the mic Grief as an alchemical process: what has burned away, and what remainsThe slow, messy rising-from-the-ashes The blooming and integrationThis is a tender, honest conversation about love, loss, and the parts of us that die with our parents, and the strange, sacred work of rebuilding a self after that.If you've ever gone offline during a season of grief, or felt like you were “failing” at being visible while your heart was breaking, I hope this episode feels like permission and companionship.Thank you for still being here with me in the fire and the rebirth. https://www.downwithmydemons.com/To connect with Chloe Lionheart:Email: chloe@downwithmydemons.comor visit: https://www.wholeheartednetwork.com/Resources:The Prophet (Free E-Book): https://www.kahlilgibran.com/images/The%20Prophet%20Ebook%20by%20Kahlil%20Gibran.pdf"The Wild Edge of Sorrow" by Francis Weller:https://www.francisweller.net/books.htmlAll There Is Podcast with Anderson Cooperhttps://www.cnn.com/all-there-is-anderson-cooper"The Smell of Rain on Dust" by Martin Prechtelhttps://www.marcusbooks.com/book/9781583949399"Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents" by Lindsay C.

Are you feeling drained, overwhelmed, or emotionally heavy — even on days when nothing “happened”?You might be carrying energy that doesn't belong to you. In this episode, we dive deep into the hidden cost of taking on other people's emotions, especially for empaths, mindful leaders, and emotionally intelligent souls who naturally absorb stress without realizing it.We explore how this shows up in your body, your mood, your relationships, and your overall wellbeing. You'll learn why you may feel responsible for keeping the peace, why your nervous system reacts so intensely around certain people, and why the holiday season can magnify emotional overload — from family pressure and loneliness to financial stress and expectations. Most importantly, you'll learn practical tools to stop carrying everyone's energy, reclaim your emotional space, and protect your inner peace. From grounding techniques to mindful boundaries, we'll walk through simple but powerful ways to stay centered and connected without absorbing the weight of the world.If you're ready to show up with compassion without sacrificing yourself… this episode is for you.Stay authentic. Stay mindful. And keep taking care of you.Host:Instagram: @AuthenticTalks2.0 Email: AuthenticShanta@gmail.com Website: www.AuthenticTalks2.com Facebook: AuthenticTalks2Youtube: @authentictalkswithshanta7489 #authentictalkswithshanta #ProtectYourEnergy, #EmpathLife, #MindfulLiving, #EmotionalWellness, #HolidayStress,Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/authentic-talks-2-0-with-shanta--4116672/support.

Palliative care nurse turned fragrance founder and CEO Octavia Morgan joins us to share how scent became both a healing practice and a business, ultimately leading to Ulta Beauty's first Black- and woman-owned prestige fragrance house. Octavia breaks down practical layering, budget-friendly ways to customize your signature scent, and how she created her first fragrance, Legendary, for her hospice patients. We also get personal about the leap from nursing to entrepreneurship, fear vs. obedience, and the one non-negotiable that keeps her centered: a daily hour of self-devotion. Stay for her holiday recs and a rapid-fire on unexpected notes (hello, oud), “soft life” accords, and the power of pouring into yourself first, so you can better show up for everyone else around you.In this episode we discuss:Layering 101: build from the heaviest scent, then medium, then lightClean, sensual scents that don't read “essential oil”Founder wellness: the one-hour daily ritual & how to move stagnant energyTaking the leap: getting contracts, “burning the boats,” and betting on your callingHoliday picks: Dark Rose, Vanilla Supreme, and 4- and 8-piece discovery setsConnect with Octavia:https://octaviamorgan.com/https://www.ulta.com/ Connect with Be Well, Sis:Instagram – @bewellsis_podcastSubstack – bewellsis.substack.comFollow, rate, and share this episode!We're supporting St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
