Podcasts about self care

In this episode, I dive deep into a topic that's rarely discussed but incredibly important: the art of pleasure at midlife. I'm joined by Laini Gray as we explore why many women have either disconnected from intentional pleasure or are caught in cycles of false pleasures that don't truly satisfy. We cover: The science behind pleasure – How our brain chemistry works and why pleasure matters for our health and longevity False pleasures vs. true pleasures – Understanding the difference between momentary escapes and genuine joy The unique challenges midlife women face – Why we struggle to prioritize pleasure and how societal messaging contributes Practical strategies – Simple ways to incorporate more meaningful pleasure into your daily life This conversation isn't just about indulgence—it's about reclaiming your right to joy and making pleasure a non-negotiable part of your wellness journey. If you've been feeling disconnected from what truly brings you happiness, this episode is your permission slip to prioritize pleasure again.

This engaging and metaphor-rich Podcourse offers a systematic approach to developing self-awareness, self-confidence, and sustainable self-care practices. Dr. Jason Branch shares practical tools and powerful insights drawn from his own experience with burnout. His relatable and transformative framework empowers participants to take better care of themselves. Participants will explore The Gator Life Model, which introduces a mindset shift that helps clinicians move from emotional overexposure to protected, empowered living. They will also learn the ESPM self-care model (Emotional, Spiritual, Physical, and Mental), which provides an actionable strategy for maintaining daily balance. Through this Podcourse, clinicians will gain greater clarity on their current boundaries, learn how to make intentional self-care deposits, and walk away with tools they can apply immediately to both their professional and personal lives.

The size zero trend... the circle of shame... the fad diets... Millennial women who grew up during the 2000s now have the lowest body confidence of any generation, and Rita Ora understands the pressure for women to look a certain way all too well.In this chat, brought to you by Dove, Fearne and Rita explore the factors that might have influenced their relationships with their bodies over time – from magazines, to catwalks, to so-called health hacks.As part of Dove's Self Esteem Project, Fearne and Rita chat about how to focus more on how your body feels, than how it looks. Millennial women are 1.3x more likely to define self-care as working on their appearance, so, how can we create self-care routines that really listen to what our individual bodies need to be strong and energised instead? Rita also opens up about how she manages the anxiety that comes from her internal chatter. If you want more support, Dove has created a journal full of body confidence exercises to help in building better awareness about our internalized beauty belief systems that might be more harmful to you than helpful.

Discover how to find peace and purpose by accepting the natural ebbs and flows of your creative and entrepreneurial journey. Do you ever feel like you're not doing enough or that you've somehow lost momentum?Especially mid-year, it's easy to question everything. But what if you're not doing anything wrong? What if you're just in a different season—and that season is asking for slowness, rest, or reflection instead of hustle? Let's talk about surrendering to the moment and finding peace in where we are. Action Plan: - Acknowledge that you're not a machine: Your value isn't tied to constant productivity—rest and reflection are essential parts of growth. - Stop resisting the season you're in: Fighting against slow periods adds unnecessary suffering—lean into them instead. - Name your current season: Give it a title like “Rest” or “Rebuilding” to honor and legitimize it. - Adjust your pace intentionally: Repurpose content, schedule breaks, and give yourself permission to pause without guilt. - Trust that unseen growth is happening: Just like roots grow underground, your quiet season is setting the stage for future blooms.

Send me a text!Empathy isn't the problem—but lately, some voices claim that it is, arguing that empathy leads to irrational decisions or even “civilizational suicide.” If you're someone who cares deeply, you probably reject the idea that empathy is a threat to society. In fact, you likely believe we need more empathy in the world, not less. Yet at the same time, you might find yourself struggling with empathy exhaustion and wondering how to stay engaged without burning out. This episode is to help you unpack how this flawed argument is connected to your exhaustion and how you can stay engaged in meaningful social change while caring for yourself as a compassionate person.In this episode of Mindset Unlimited, I explore why empathy isn't the problem or the solution but a complex human capacity that we need to understand to avoid manipulation and prevent burnout.Some of what I explore in this episode includes:Unmasking the manipulation of empathy in political and media narrativesBreaking the cycle of empathy and self-erasureUnderstanding compassion fatigueEngaging practical tools for emotional resilienceEPISODES REFERENCED:How to Avoid Overwhelm and Access JoyHow to Prioritize Your Needs (Beyond Maslow)How to Navigate Societal Gaslighting and Stay Empowered  LINKS FROM THIS EPISODE:Darwin Misunderstood Interview with Sam Altman Suicidal Empathy critique Nazi MindAre Billionaires Good For Society? The People's Media ProjectFrom Compassion Fatigue to Resilience Hypernormalization  Dr. Scott Lyons In Defense of EmpathyWhy a Lack of Empathy Is the Root of All EvilSocial Change Now by Deepa Iyer CONNECT WITH VALERIE:Ask ValerieSign up for Valerie's newsletterSchedule an exploration call This podcast was produced by Valerie Friedlander CoachingProud member of the Feminist Podcasters CollectiveSupport the show

Overstimulation & Recharge and the Impact on Relationships   In this conversation, Patricia explores the themes of overstimulation, the importance of recharging, and the dynamics of friendship, particularly in the context of neurodivergence. She shares her personal experiences with protesting, the challenges of feeling safe in crowds, and the emotional complexities of friendships, including rejection sensitivity, and the trauma that many Autistics have experienced in relationships. The discussion emphasizes the need for self-care, understanding one's limits, and the significance of connection in navigating life's challenges.   HIGHLIGHTS   ·       We often need to recharge after overstimulation. ·       Protesting can be a positive experience despite initial fears. ·       It's important to communicate needs in friendships. ·       Rejection sensitivity can affect how we perceive relationships. ·       Predictability and routine can provide comfort for neurodivergent individuals. ·       Self-care is essential for emotional regulation. ·       Understanding our triggers can help in managing our responses. ·       Friendships can change, and it's okay to let go. ·       We should honor our sensitivity and the way we connect with others. ·       It's important to recognize that not everyone is meant for us.   SOUND BITES "You have a right to rest." "You are not meant for everyone."   SENSITIVITY IS NOTHING TO APOLOGIZE FOR; IT'S HOW YOUR BRAIN IS WIRED You have a right to reach out to friends. You have a right to rest. You have a right to be playful. You have a right to be serious and quiet. Our idea of fun is not always what a neurotypical's idea of fun is, and that could be studying a language, studying something that you're interested in, doing a craft project, spending time with animals. You have a right to be quiet. You have a right to be loud. You are not meant for everyone and everyone is not meant for you.   CHAPTERS   00:00 Navigating Overstimulation and Recharge 06:04 Experiencing Protest: A Personal Journey 11:54 Friendship Dynamics and Rejection Sensitivity 18:48 Patterns of Engagement and Disengagement PODCAST HOST Patricia was a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over 17 years, but she is now exclusively providing coaching. She knows what it's like to feel like an outcast, misfit, and truthteller.  Learning about the trait of being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), then learning she is AuDHD with a PDA profile, OCD and RSD, helped Patricia rewrite her history with a deeper understanding, appreciation, and a sense of self-compassion.  She created the podcast Unapologetically Sensitive to help other neurodivergent folks know that they aren't alone, and that having a brain that is wired differently comes with amazing gifts, and some challenges.  Patricia works online globally working individually with people, and she teaches Online Courses for neurodivergent folks that focus on understanding what it means to be a sensitive neurodivergent.

Listen in and find out how to reclaim your time and energy!  

In the third part of our series on caring for insecurity, we are reminded that the awareness of your insecurity feelings is a vital first step. Can you see the areas in your life where you most often feel insecure? When these feelings arise they often manifest as a general feeling of uneasiness and discontentment in our life. When you recognize this unwelcome feeling, look at what your response is to it. Do you see it as an uninvited guest? Do you treat it like a friend or foe? Robert helps us learn the importance of recognizing our own specific feelings of insecurity so we can learn to better respond to them.    To further explore the resources available to you at Awareness That Heals, visit: • Awareness That Heals Blog at AwarenessThatHeals.org: https://bit.ly/ATH-Blog • Awareness That Heals Podcast at Apple Podcasts: https://bit.ly/ATH-Apple-Podcast • Awareness That Heals Podcast at AwarenessThatHeals.org: https://bit.ly/ATH-Podcast • Guided Meditation Series at AwarenessThatHeals.org: https://bit.ly/ATH-Guided-Meditations • The (free) Introspective Guides at https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UXrsIypD95eGpY42FNIhu_HpD9x5gumT/view?usp=sharing

Whether you're tuning into the Holistic Healing Hour podcast or catching the latest videos on my YouTube channel, we're always exploring ways to live healthier and happier.Recently, I've been thinking about some fundamental questions regarding our well-being. On the podcast, we asked: Feeling drained despite getting enough rest? Could unseen energy imbalances be the culprit? (Expand on this, briefly discuss the concept of energy in holistic healing, perhaps mentioning Qi or other relevant concepts without getting too technical. Refer back to the podcast episode if applicable).And over on YouTube, the question we posed was: Is your daily routine truly supporting your long-term well-being, or are there hidden pieces of the puzzle missing? (Discuss the importance of daily habits, perhaps show some examples of simple wellness practices like mindful movement, healthy eating tips, or stress reduction techniques. Refer to relevant YouTube videos).It's so important to look beyond just the obvious aspects of health. Sometimes, the key in the equation for feeling truly vibrant ,lies in understanding the subtle energies within us and making small, consistent adjustments to our daily routines. Whether it's exploring holistic energy practices on the podcast or incorporating simple wellness habits you see on the YouTube channel, remember that every step, no matter how small, contributes to your overall well-being.I encourage you to ponder these questions and explore the resources on both my podcast and YouTube channel.
