From missed opportunities in personal growth to lessons in financial literacy, Christina opens up about the moments she wishes she'd acted sooner. But more than looking back, this conversation is about moving forward. She challenges you to recognize where you may be holding back in your own life and shows why investing in yourself, whether through education, growth, or bold decision-making is the most powerful way to break the cycle of regret.

Think sweating more = better results? Or that lifting will make you “too bulky”? You're not alone. If you've ever felt like your body's either “too much” or “not enough,” or struggled to balance training for aesthetics with training for strength, this episode is a must-listen.I sat down with Emily Duncan, fitness coach, entrepreneur, and host of EmBody Radio, to talk about what women are really up against when it comes to body image, fitness trends, and self-trust.We unpack why “bulky” is one of the biggest myths in fitness, how to separate discipline from obsession, and why balance is overrated (and harmony is where the real results happen).

Send us a textCan lasers help to combat hair loss? Tamim Hamid comes from a long line of medicine, but chose to enter the engineering world. However, he still had the instinct to want to help people.Tamim was a NASA engineer, who invented a laser to measure thermoprotection of the shuttles outer shell upon re-entry to the Earth.Lasers were invented in the 60's, and he learned about them in school in the 80's.He then invented a new laser in silicon valley. He found a study on lasers & hair growth, which was recorded in 1965 and tested on mice, which showed that a certain frequency could stimulate hair to grow.Lasers work differently depending on the setting and the frequency. Laser light can stimulate human tissue, specifically hair follicles, and it triggers the mitochondria in the bulge of the hair root. This can extend the anagen phase and stimulate growth in the papilla, along with strengthening the arrector pili muscle.Tamim has now invented the Theradome helmet, which he says is the only FDA approved device in the world that can stop hair loss.Connect with Tamim:InstagramBook Hair & Scalp Salon Specialist course Support the showConnect with Hair therapy: Facebook Instagram Twitter Clubhouse- @Hair.Therapy Donate towards the podcast Start your own podcastHair & Scalp Salon Specialist Course ~ Book now to become an expert!

Play, connection, and the chaos of everyday parenting - this episode of Mucked Up My Self-Care dives into how play can be both a lifeline and a stressor for moms. Jill and Linda share real stories of finding joy in messy moments, how intentional play shifts their energy, and why sometimes self-care looks like sitting on the floor with your kids (even when you'd rather not).

Whether it's pulling out a board game, painting flowerpots, or letting your child drive toy cars across your back, play can become an unexpected pathway to connection and care. And yes, sometimes it's messy, interrupted, and imperfect, but that's what makes it real. Until next week, we hope you can unstuck your muck!

Board-certified pediatrician and certified coach Jessie Mahoney discusses her article, "Why self-care must become medicine's new standard." She challenges the long-held belief in medical culture that self-sacrifice is noble and that self-care is an indulgence. Jessie argues that caring for oneself is not a luxury but a responsible, non-negotiable standard of care for anyone in medicine. She explains that a physician's energy is their most critical resource, and its chronic depletion leads to poor decisions, burnout, and negative ripple effects. To change this, she introduces a powerful new framework: viewing self-care not as an emergency "oxygen mask" for when things go wrong, but as the "required maintenance" that happens between flights to prevent accidents. This shift redefines rest and replenishment as foundational to safe, effective, and sustainable patient care—as essential as a surgical time-out—and calls on the culture of medicine to make time for it as an expectation, not an afterthought.

The simple act of asking boldly can open doors you never imagined. Learn how speaking your desires with clarity creates powerful shifts, aligns opportunities, and reminds you that what you want is waiting for you. Asking can feel scary, whether it's requesting help, an opportunity, or even just declaring what we want to the universe. I've learned firsthand that the simple act of asking boldly creates ripple effects that we can't always see immediately. This episode is about the courage to speak your desires clearly, the trust to release the “how,” and the magic that unfolds once you do. Action Plan: - Make bold asks daily: Speak or write your desires out loud with clarity and confidence. - Get specific: State exactly what you want, whether it's a number, opportunity, or connection. - Release the how: Focus on the “what” and let the timing and method work themselves out. - Create a bold ask list: Keep a running list of things you want to request so you're ready when courage strikes. - Affirm your worthiness: Remind yourself you are already enough to receive what you desire.

Send me a text!Honoring menopause as a life stage, not just a phase to get through acknowledges the weight of this transition. We live in a society that hasn't given much room to understanding women's bodies. While there is more information now than before, there are still large gaps in support for the physical, mental, and emotional experience of menopause. Too often, women don't even begin to ask for information until we are already experiencing the challenges of shifting hormones. We turn to managing symptoms instead of caring for this pivotal transition.   In this episode of Mindset Unlimited, I invited Marelda Rodrigues to join me in a conversation about honoring menopause as a life stage and yourself as deserving of care. Some of what we talk about in this episode includes:Experiencing grief in physical transitionsSocietal norms, gaps in information, and becoming an advocate for yourselfHealth and self-care look different in different phases of lifeSlowing down and making room to learn your new body LINKS TO REFERENCES MADE IN THIS EPISODE:NPR – Doctors Urge FDA to Remove Warning On Hormone Therapy for MenopauseLast Week Tonight – Make America Healthy AgainCollaborative Leadership from Boardroom to Patient-Centered Caregiving episode CONNECT WITH MARELDAWebsiteInstagram – Decide to HealInstagram – Sovereign Becoming Menopause Guide CONNECT WITH VALERIE:Ask Valerie (anonymous form)Sign up for Valerie's newsletterApply to be coached on the podcastSchedule an exploration callListen to the Unlimited Playlist This podcast was produced by Valerie Friedlander CoachingProud member of the Feminist Podcasters Collective Support the show

This week on the Luxury of Self-Care, I'm sharing how I've been tackling my to-do list without letting it control me. Instead of drowning in “I still have to do this… and that,” I've started orchestrating my tasks in the "Notes" app so I can see everything at once and fit it into my schedule with intention—no more anxiety spirals, just steady progress.And because life always throws in surprises, I also had to squeeze in an unexpected vet trip when our pomsky, Meiko developed an infected anal gland (yep, you read that right). It was scary at first, but she was a total rockstar and earned five stars for bravery. In this episode, I share the full (and hilarious) play-by-play of her treatment and how moments like these remind me she's our baby—especially after our miscarriages.Tune in for a mix of practical self-care strategies and an honest peek into real life's curveballs.

In a world that constantly pushes us to hustle harder and do more, this week's conversation is a breath of fresh air. I sat down with the wise and grace-filled Kari Kampakis, and she reminded us of something so important: sometimes the most faithful thing we can do is make peace with accomplishing less in a day.As parents, it's easy to feel like we need to keep up with everything: our careers, commitments, expectations, and a perfectly run household. But what if slowing down is actually the bravest and most obedient thing we can do? Kari gives us permission to step back, breathe, and create space for the things that really matter.Here are four takeaways from our conversation:How doing less can actually strengthen your parenting and your peaceWhy margin in your schedule creates more room for spiritual growthWays to listen to God's leading in the pace of your family lifeThe freedom that comes when you stop chasing “shoulds” and start embracing “enough”Kari Kampakis is a mom of four daughters, a bestselling author, speaker, and host of The Girl Mom Podcast. Her books, including Love Her Well and More Than a Mom, have encouraged countless women to parent with purpose, grace, and deep faith. Kari's message is always full of wisdom and grounded in truth and this conversation is no different.I hope this episode helps you take a deep breath and remember: you don't have to do it all to be a faithful parent.(00:00) Introduction to Parenting Dynamics(03:08) Navigating the Challenges of Modern Parenting(05:58) Building Lifelong Relationships with Our Children(08:47) The Importance of Connection in Parenting(12:07) Embracing Imperfection in Parenting(16:24) Embracing Vulnerability in Parenting(17:16) Navigating Big Emotions(18:40) Understanding Adolescent Emotional Development(20:32) Staying Grounded as a Parent(24:01) Connecting Before Correcting(27:32) Self-Care for Moms(30:00) Modeling Healthy Behaviors for Future GenerationsConnect with KariKariKampakis.comInstagramGirl Mom podcastResources MentionedKari's booksRaising Kind Daughters episode on The Christian Parenting PodcastChristian Parenting resourcesA Great Cloud of Witnesses prayer journalThe Christian Parenting Podcast is a part of the Christian Parenting Podcast Network.

In this episode, we'll embark on a 12-minute guided meditation designed to cultivate peace, ease, and refuge in the present moment. This builds reslience.Our focus today is creating a sanctuary within ourselves. In a world filled with challenges—wars, layoffs, and economic uncertainty—we'll establish an inner refuge where we can temporarily set aside our concerns and simply be.We'll begin by consciously releasing our worries as we tune into our body, mind, and heart, acknowledging our current state without judgment.After resting in this space of refuge, we'll transition to practices of loving-kindness and compassion—first directed inward toward ourselves, then extending outward to all beings.May this practice bring you a sense of peace and renewal.PS: Introducing the…

Alison interviews attorney Michele Locke, who shares her remarkable journey of self-discovery and the importance of self-care. As she pursued her dream, she became a highly regarded family law attorney and a judge, managing complex cases involving family issues, domestic violence, and child welfare.Michele discusses the immense emotional and physical toll that her legal career exacted on her. Over the years, she inadvertently neglected her own health while focusing on building her law practice and raising her blended family. She recalls how her health deteriorated significantly starting in October 2020, leading her to realize that she was prioritizing everyone else's needs over her own. This realization became a turning point in her life, as she recognized that self-care is essential and not a selfish act.One of the episode's key themes is the myth surrounding self-care being equated with selfishness. Throughout the conversation, Michele emphasizes that neglecting oneself can lead to dire consequences, affecting not just the individual but also their loved ones. She details the pain she endured after ignoring symptoms for years, culminating in surgeries that finally addressed her health issues. Michele shares candid insights about the common societal pressures to always present oneself as fine, despite the internal struggles many face.The interview also delves into Michele's personal transformation after experiencing a significant life event and reflects on the moments that forced her to re-evaluate her priorities and take a critical look at her well-being. Through discussions about setting boundaries and the power of saying no, she highlights the importance of tuning into one's body and needs rather than sacrificing oneself for perceived obligations.Listeners gain insights into practical steps Michelle has taken to prioritize her health, including listening to her body and establishing healthier boundaries in her personal and professional life. She discusses her impressive weight loss journey, which serves as a metaphor for her broader transformation: shedding not just physical weight but also the mental and emotional burdens she carried.HIGHLIGHTS:2:54 A Wake-Up Call7:38 Overcoming Challenges13:05 The Importance of Kindness20:00 Creating Healthy Boundaries24:06 A Life Transformed27:35 Tools for Change30:32 Embracing the Journeyconnect with Michele:www.michelelocke.comwww.instagram.com/attorneymichelelockeLove Lust Law podcastSPONSOR:Cellev8Discount code: THEALISONK2024ALISON'S LINKS:Website | Facebook | Twitter | InstagramGET MY FREE 4 part Pop-up Podcast Series
