If you need to hire one person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world has the hustle and grit to deliver My Guest: Dr. Nicole LePera is the creator of The Holistic Psychologist, a platform with over 12 million followers, and the author of three New York Times bestselling books, including her newest, Reparenting the Inner Child. Key Learnings: Nicole was good at everything, so struggling meant failure. Her family's message was clear: success in life meant financial security through academics or athletics. The implicit message: you're worthy when you're bringing home A's, when you're winning the softball game. She quickly learned to identify things she wasn't immediately good at and just not pursue them. She filtered life, staying on the path of comfort. Your childhood adaptations don't leave. Nicole calls it the inner child. It doesn't matter how old you are or how far beyond your childhood you think you've gotten. It impacts you in reactions, in identities, in your way of being. What was once your best attempt at safety, security, or connection still drives behavior today. Not all adaptations are problems. Many continue to benefit us. The question isn't whether the adaptation is good or bad. The question is: are you choosing it, or is it choosing you? Nicole's drive for achievement created opportunities. It led to massive impact. But she still has the overachiever who wants to blow past her limits and say yes when she's exhausted but means no.   The Holistic Psychologist started in 2018, and Nicole had no idea it would explode. She was living in Philadelphia, operating within a private practice model. Within the first year, people from around the world were resonating, joining, and interested in working with her in this new way. But at the beginning, even learning how to speak on camera was such a big challenge. Her partner would say, "Say what you said to me earlier," and Nicole's mind would go blank. Just putting a camera in front of her was near debilitating. Boundaries are about knowing who and when to take feedback from. Sometimes the feedback from a loved one, while uncomfortable, is helpful to hear. Other times, it's a helpful boundary where you're not opening yourself up to the opinion of someone who has a different vantage point or is speaking from their own projection. That's allowed Nicole to create safety in herself, confidence in herself, which translates to flow. Several years in, Nicole's dad sat front row at her book event, crying with pride. In the beginning, her dad and mom would ask, "Why do you have to use us as the example? Why do you have to share about our family?" Nicole would explain: " This is the only experience I can speak from, and our family's experience is so common. To see her dad, who came from a family largely shut down emotionally, crying in understanding and pride, was overwhelming and validating for why she does this work. At 13, Nicole was getting straight A's but unraveling on the inside. She was socially shy, struggled to order food at restaurants, and had very few friends. Then she discovered alcohol and pot made her feel comfortable. That anxiety she lived with suddenly felt freer. She would stumble through the living room at night, her parents already in bed, then wake up at 6:00 AM the next day, pitch a softball tournament, win it, and seemingly be fine. Her parents had no idea. She was very good at suppressing her emotions and coping. By contrast, on the surface, it seemed like she was doing well. They were a family who didn't really talk about emotions, so they had no indication. The drive itself isn't the problem. It's the energy that inspires action. Nicole's dad worked into the night to support the family. Her mom would say, "why not 100?" when Nicole brought home a 96. That translated into drive and ambition. That's not a problem. For a lot of us, it's the energy that inspires action and translates into impact. It can become a problem when we have no limits to our working, where we exhaust ourselves and burn out, where we don't feel worthy in moments of inaction or rest. The marker of a healthy relationship with drive is flexibility. When you're forced to stop because you're sick, exhausted, emotionally overwhelmed, or someone else needs you, can you be flexible enough to do that without feeling terrible about yourself? The ability to choose to say, "Okay, contextually speaking, I need to pause," and still feel okay about yourself, that's the marker.   Hold space for both: acknowledging harm and taking agency. Other people have contributed to our discomfort. Maybe parents didn't meet our needs. If we don't acknowledge that, we suppress. But we also can't stay stuck in anger and resentment. A true boundary isn't demanding that someone else be different. That's still giving away your agency. A true boundary is saying: you've hurt me, and I'm gonna take responsibility that I'm allowing it. I'm gonna show up differently now to limit the impact of what you're doing. Talking about trauma can keep it alive in your body. Trauma doesn't live in logic and understanding. It lives in your body. It lives in habits and reactions. Your mind is so powerful that you can think something and feel as if you're living it in that moment. If you're going week after week talking about all the things that are hurting you, you're continuing to keep that alive in your body. Holistic psychology bridges the gap between mind and body. Traditional psychology focused solely on the mind. The CBT model says if we think differently, we produce different feelings, then different actions. But Nicole was missing the body. Our nervous system, our earliest environments, neurobiologically created patterns wired into us. Science now shows we maintain the ability to change throughout our lives. Drop into your body. Where is your attention right now? Are you feeling your muscles, your heels impacting the earth, where you're sitting? Or are you so lost in thought you're disconnected? Jaw clenched? Fists clenched? Shoulders up to your ears? Holding your breath? Breathing short and quick from your chest? These are markers that your body is under stress right now. Once you have that information, make small shifts. Slow and deepen your breath. Elongate your exhale just a little longer than your inhale. If your movements are quick, slow them down. If you're holding tension, release it. Now you're regulating your body so you can show up differently. Meditation is just awareness. It's not sitting cross-legged trying to make your mind quiet. Life can be a meditative experience. Thoughts are helpful. They're where we create things, have insights. The goal isn't a blank, quiet mind. The goal is awareness. Nicole calls it her spaceship. Her protective habit for so long has been to dissociate, to disconnect. She pursued clinical psychology where she can live in her mind. When what she's feeling in her body is too uncomfortable, the quickest path out is to distract herself with someone else, with the next achievement. This work has made Nicole's relationships more real. More authentic. More grounded in vulnerability, messiness, emotion as opposed to curated versions of who she thinks she needs to be. What she's most familiar with is dealing with all her feelings alone. The Harvard study found one thing leads to a happy life: love. Ryan referenced the longitudinal Harvard study that has gone on for 90 years studying what leads to a happy life. At the end of the day, it's love. The ones who live the happiest, longest, most fruitful lives are surrounded by people they love and who love them.  What a gift it is to be loved for all of yourself, not just the perfect parts. When you can show someone all of yourself, your messiness, the things you hid and kept secret, and still be loved. The overachiever gets to show more parts of herself, and people don't abandon her. They stay. That's the love most of us are striving for. We are all a bunch of messy humans trying to figure it out as we go. Nicole's champagne moment a year from now: presence and beingness. Whatever is happening or not happening in her life, she's celebrating the celebration of that moment. Being alive. Feeling the gratitude, the joy. Not focusing on what was produced to give her the opportunity to celebrate, but being present to the life around her. The taste of the champagne, the humans surrounding her in that moment.  Reflection Questions Which childhood adaptations are still driving your behavior today? Are you choosing them, or are they choosing you? When was the last time you actually dropped into your body and checked: am I tense? Am I holding my breath? Am I stressed? Who in your life sees all of you, not just the polished version, and loves you anyway?

A study from Johns Hopkins researchers found that residents near or on the fence line of polluting enterprises are at higher risk for multiple health problems because of the toxic mix of air they breathe. The lead researcher explains the study. Also, astronomer Phil Plait wondered what it would be like to walk on Mars, fall into a black hole, or fly through a nebula, so he wrote a book, Under Alien Skies: A Sightseer's Guide to the Universe. He reveals the strange colors of a sunset on Mars, what it's like on a planet orbiting binary stars, the unique challenges of landing on an asteroid, and more. And a paper published in the journal Scientific Reports describes the case study of an orangutan who treated and healed his own wound. Zoologists have long seen behaviors of self-medicating in the animal kingdom, but until now it has rarely if ever been documented in scientific literature. — We rely on support from listeners like you to keep our journalism strong.

Christians, Demonization, and Deliverance” by Dr. Karl Payne Bible Verses2 Timothy 1:7This Episode is brought to you by Advanced Medicine AlternativesGet back to the active life you love through natural & regenerative musculoskeletal healing: https://www.georgekramermd.com/Episode Highlights[00:36] Freedom from Addiction and the Fight for the SoulAddiction, anxiety, and spiritual warfare can make people feel trapped and unseen.Many silently battle overwhelming darkness, believing healing is out of reach.Tommy Doyle, International Director of Uncharted Ministries, knows this struggle firsthand.[03:21] Tommy: “We have so many good friends and so many ministry partners over there, that that's just really where our heart was, and we were part of another ministry before that that we loved dearly, so many great people and everything.”Once bound by addiction and anxiety, Tommy now leads missions that bring healing and hope across the Middle East.[05:26] Ministry Work in the Middle EastTommy describes Uncharted Ministries' work across war-torn regions of the Middle East.He recalls visiting the Gaza Strip a month after a major attack, wearing flak jackets and traveling with armed EMTs.Despite the chaos, they shared comfort and reminded hurting communities that they are not forgotten.Through every mission, Tommy emphasizes the power of showing up and bringing the love of Christ.[12:19] Personal Testimony and Early LifeTommy grew up in a large Christian family, deeply involved in church life as a pastor's kid.Despite strong early faith, he experienced rejection and betrayal from peers in church leadership.That emotional wound led him to pull away and seek belonging in sports and party culture.This shift laid the groundwork for his eventual descent into substance use and spiritual drift.[24:23] Struggles with Addiction and Turning PointTommy began justifying casual partying, which escalated into drug dealing and daily alcohol use.A raid by federal agents became a wake-up call, but the pull of addiction remained strong.Panic attacks worsened his condition, and alcohol became his go-to form of self-medication.Despite several attempts to quit, nothing brought lasting freedom—until he cried out to God.[26:42] Egypt Mission Trip and Spiritual AwakeningTommy joined a mission trip to Egypt to support his mother's outreach to Muslim women.While caring for children there, he was struck by a deep conviction to return to a life of purpose.That moment reignited his faith, shifted his focus, and set him on a path of full sobriety.He returned home and committed to healing through a Christ-centered Celebrate Recovery program.[36:11] Supernatural Encounter in EgyptDuring a foot-washing ceremony, Tommy witnessed a woman visibly possessed and delivered through the name of Jesus.[39:47] Tommy: “Every time that something dark and scary would happen, witnessed by other people too, the power of the name of Jesus was enough to eradicate it and, and that's just so life-giving.”Later that night, he and his brother encountered a terrifying demonic presence outside their desert compound.Prayer in Jesus' name broke the oppression, revealing that when the demonic and divine encounter each other, the authority of Christ prevails over darkness.These spiritual battles confirmed the reality of unseen warfare—and the power believers carry.[47:49] Territorial Spirits and the Battle Over RegionsTommy and Reagan reflect on how demonic strongholds operate not just personally, but over entire regions.In spiritually charged areas like the Middle East, the Enemy fiercely resists gospel work.Tommy shares how even Bible translation efforts in unreached areas face constant spiritual interference.Yet through it all, God's power continues to break ground where darkness has long ruled.[52:45] The Link Between Medication and AddictionTommy discusses the role anti-anxiety medication played in intensifying his alcohol cravings.He noticed his dependence on alcohol spiked after starting an SSRI prescribed for panic attacks.This connection led him to research and ultimately discontinue the medication after his spiritual breakthrough.He encourages others to evaluate their health journeys prayerfully and seek Spirit-led guidance.[58:39] Advice for Overcoming Addiction and AnxietyTommy urges listeners to admit powerlessness and seek a divine encounter with Jesus as the first step to healing.By trusting Him, we take a faithful path to healing.He shares practical advice for managing anxiety, including diet, outdoor activity, and community support.Accountability and honesty are key—especially with trusted friends and family.Above all, he emphasizes that true freedom from addiction and fear comes through Christ alone.[1:03:43] Tommy: “I did not need a foreign substance to be happy and enjoy life. And that's such a lie if, if that's holding you back, reconnect with the Lord.”[1:05:52] Living Free From Darkness to Purpose in ChristTommy reminds listeners that surrender is not weakness but the beginning of real strength.He shares how 2 Timothy 1:7 has anchored him through fear and addiction.God's healing is available to anyone ready to leave darkness and walk into His light.Learn more about Tommy's work through Uncharted Ministries and Uncharted Adventures at unchartedministries.com.About Tommy DoyleTommy Doyle is a missionary leader, speaker, and redeemed overcomer called to bring light into the darkest places.

A new study shows there has been a rise in hospital visits due to cannabis poisoning since legalization, although when taken properly, can offer health benefits. Our guest is Dr. Hance Clarke - Pain specialist and president of the Canadian Consortium for the Investigation of Cannabiniods. We also hear about recent research about the number of Canadians using recreational cannabis to self-medicate from Lynda Balneave at the University of Manitoba.

2023 was the hottest year on record, at 1.48 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels. That's just below the 1.5 C increase that the UN says is the limit to avoid the worst impacts of climate change. As the summer of 2024 approaches in the Northern Hemisphere, climate scientists are raising the alarm on dangerous impacts of ongoing heat waves. Also Shell's flagship carbon capture and storage project in Canada generated millions of dollars in carbon credits based on greenhouse gas emission reductions that never took place. According to a study by Greenpeace Canada, the scheme was part of Shell's billion-dollar Quest carbon capture project. While these phantom credits were legal from 2015 to 2021 under approved carbon tax rules, Shell's actions raise questions about carbon capture practices in Canada's lucrative fossil fuel industry. And a paper published in the journal Scientific Reports describes the case study of an orangutan who treated and healed his own wound. Zoologists have long seen behaviors of self-medicating in the animal kingdom, but until now it has rarely if ever been documented in scientific literature. — We rely on support from listeners like you to keep our journalism strong.

These include things such food, sex, alcohol and etc. Join Blair in this battle against stress and learn the difference between Self Care and Self Medication.

Understanding your spouse's mindset during a separation can be challenging, especially if you are eager to mend the relationship. This comprehensive guide delves into the complex emotions and thoughts your spouse might be experiencing during this trying period. Accompanying articles: What is my spouse thinking during separation? On Medium: What is my spouse thinking while we are separated? On Substack: What is my spouse thinking while separated? On Life Coach Hub: What your spouse is thinking during separation Relief and Regret: Often, a spouse oscillates between feelings of relief and regret. Relief may stem from escaping the tension and discomfort of an unhappy marriage, while regret can arise from pondering the finality of their decision and the loss of shared dreams and memories. Reviewing Justifications: Your spouse likely spends significant time justifying their decision for separation. This could involve reflecting on negative aspects of the marriage, such as feelings of rejection, disrespect, or incidents of infidelity. Doubts about their decision may also surface, particularly if there were positive aspects and strong bonds in the relationship. Fear of a Wrong Decision: Amidst the justification, there's often an underlying fear that they might have made the wrong choice. This fear can be exacerbated by factors like children's wellbeing, the depth of the marital bond, and the overall quality of the relationship prior to the separation. Seeking Validation from Others: During this period, your spouse might seek reassurance from friends and family. These interactions can either support their decision to separate or challenge it, adding complexity to their emotional journey. Self-Medicating and Reward-Seeking Behaviors: To cope with the stress and uncertainty of separation, some individuals might engage in activities they perceive as liberating or rewarding. This could range from starting new relationships to indulging in lifestyle changes they believe were restricted during the marriage. Curiosity and Strategic Contact: Implementing a strategic contact rule, where interactions are limited to essential topics like children or shared assets, can provoke curiosity in your spouse. By handling these interactions with dignity and respect, without pressuring them about the relationship, you can maintain a healthy communication channel. Loneliness and Reflection: Despite initial relief, loneliness often creeps in, leading your spouse to reflect on the separation's impact. This can lead to more frequent and thoughtful communication, as they begin to miss the companionship and intimacy shared with you. Wondering About Reconciliation: Even if outwardly resolute, your spouse might internally debate the possibility of reconciliation. This is particularly true if you have shown willingness to address issues they highlighted. Their internal debate often revolves around whether the relationship could indeed be salvaged. Seeking Positive Interactions: Positive interactions during necessary communication can lay the groundwork for rebuilding the relationship. Simple gestures of kindness and avoiding negativity can gradually reshape their perception of the relationship. Navigating the Emotional Cycle: Throughout the separation, your spouse will likely experience a cycle of emotions, from frustration and happiness to doubt and hope. Understanding this emotional cycle can help you approach the situation with empathy and patience. In conclusion, separation is a time of complex emotions and introspection for your spouse. By understanding these potential thought processes and handling interactions judiciously, you can create a conducive environment for possible reconciliation. Remember, patience and empathy are key in navigating this challenging journey.

In this week's episode I sat down with musician, running enthusiast and sobriety advocate, Luke Bayliss. From a young age, Luke experienced bullying at school which triggered debilitating anxiety and an eating disorder. Always feeling uncomfortable in his own skin, when Luke discovered alcohol, he found his insecurities melted away. Luke had a troubled relationship with booze from the outset which would later lead him to a near fatal car accident and multiple admissions into psych wards. It wasn't until Luke went into treatment again in 2022 that he was correctly diagnosed with ADHD and Bipolar 3. Since this time, Luke has managed to stay sober and is now passionately sharing his story, so that it doesn't become yours. Luke talks passionately on a range of topics including: Bullying and developing an eating disorder – 13:00 Childhood anxiety – 19:00 Surviving a near fatal car crash – 25:00 ADHD, Bipolar and Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria – 30:00 Why routine is a game changer – 46:30 Finding strength in vulnerability – 52:00 Check out Luke's Behind the Smile photo on the Ash Butterss Website.

Meg Webb's Generalised Anxiety Disorder started young and originally presented as constant worrying. It was incredibly difficult, but not a symptom others would notice. The anxiety she was struggling with eventually became more conspicuous during a high school presentation when her hands began to tremble uncontrollably. Later, in her first job, she experienced daily dread that she'd be asked to do something that would mean her colleagues would notice her shaking. She wouldn't eat or drink in social situations and eventually found them all too difficult. Eventually, Meg self-medicated with alcohol, which only made her anxiety worse. In her 40s, she became curious about sobriety and embarked on a journey that not only freed her from alcohol but also reduced her overall anxiety. This newfound freedom led Meg to discover her purpose as an Alcohol Recovery Coach.Meg works with women in their midlife who are wanting to find a freedom from alcohol, and uses tools for this and for reducing anxiety in their life, and also for finding their joy and passion.She is a certified This Naked Mind coach, a nutrition coach and a teacher's aide for children with autism. She also previously worked as a photographer but now enjoys photography as a hobby. She is Mum to three beautiful children and lives on Sydney's Northern beaches.https://glassfulfilled.com.auShe's Sober SydneyInstagram@glassfulfilled@shessobersydneyThanks for listening to this episode of “Well, hello anxiety with Dr Jodi Richardson.”How you can help: If you enjoyed this episode, or gained some useful insight from it, please share it with a friend or family member.

On this episode, I chat about my feelings around self medicating -- a vague but necessary subject. Each of us knows what our unhealthiest self turns to and it becomes bad for us when we confuse the self medicating to be self serving.  Regardless if it's porn, alcohol, cigarettes, cannabis, social media or something more nefarious like pharmaceuticals -- we have to be mindful of treating ourselves for wounds that we find inside.  Our closest friends and allies should be leaned on when it comes to checking in on ourselves. From our view- whether we have a healthy outlet for our experiences or are are using a substance to cope - we often can't always see this truth for ourselves. Do you find yourself self medicating on occasion? Chat with me @dailydoseofbpod Facebook @brittaniejay

Governor Gavin Newsom admits he likes to self-medicate with a glass of wine while watching the nightly news. He believes the homeless should not have to be subject to rules and regulations when going to shelters for a bed or a hot meal. Newsom is looking to put a new state amendment together mandating cities and counties to clean up the homeless crisis or face legal action. 2+2 no longer equals 4, according to members of the Ontario Mathematics Coordinators Association, who consider the equation to be a white-supremacist dog whistle instead of a basic mathematical truth. According to a webinar created by OMCA president Jason To, proponents of math's political neutrality who use the phrasing “2 + 2 = 4” are engaged in an act of “Covert White Supremacy.” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Listening to Smile encourages wellness through listening to relaxing and therapeutic music for 20 minutes a day. Today we talk about wellness, managing your health, and a ton of music chat. We also go over the massive problem with the music industry (talking about you, Spotify!) and how to perhaps overcome that. Sit back, relax, and enjoy this enlightening conversation about the power of music! In his own words: Ian Morris, Founder of Listening to Smile is Multi-Instrumentalist, Poet, Artist, and Intuitive Healer. Every month Listening to Smile produces frequency minded music in the themes of the astrological energies. This music is available to those individuals that sign up for our Meditation Affiliate Program (Read more about it here: https://listeningtosmile.com/meditation-affiliate-program/ (There over 75 albums available exclusively to our Affiliates) Our goal is to further align our themes and Frequency Minded albums in the direction of the greatest need for the collective consciousness. We do this by taking into account the monthly astrological events, universal energies,and current events and then creating an album that is balanced in tempo, genre and healing frequencies. In turn, our monthly Sonic Meditations are created with frequency selections that have the potential to best assist in integrating the current cosmic conditions and maximizing the divine flow for growth and evolution set forth by the maker of our greater cosmos. Our frequency albums are made to balance out the intense energies of the month and help alleviate any emotional and physical ailments or distress. listeningtosmile.com 0:00 - Start 8:00 - Self Medicating vs Self Help 18:00 - Messages to the public keep changing 33:30 - Spotify payments 46:00 - Creatives run the show 49:20 - How is your company changing the music industry 1:03:00 - Tonal based industry 1:18;00 - How do you measure ROI? ------------ Quickly- I'm Scott Groves - Husband, Father, Loan Officer, Coach, Author, Podcaster, and Recent Blue Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

You wake up in the morning and think, "Dang it! I wasn't gonna drink last night." Now you feel like crap and don't want to get out of bed.  A lot of us live in the middle ground: you wouldn't consider yourself an alcoholic, but you also aren't exactly happy with your relationship with alcohol. It's an awkward place to be.  …Maybe you're making up rules for yourself like you'll only drink on weekends, on special occasions, or with friends.  …Maybe you say you'll have just one glass of wine, but it turns into two or the whole bottle. …Maybe you're a Groundhog Day drinker… Every morning you make a pact with yourself and you inevitably break it. Again and again.  Let's pause the spiral of shame and have an open conversation about how alcohol is a popular and culturally acceptable method to tone down the chaos in your mind so you can chill out in the evenings - particularly useful when you have ADHD and loud children.  Let me be clear: I'm not here to tell you never to drink again. I want you to have the relationship YOU want with alcohol, no matter what it looks like.  Today's guest is Carolyn Robistow, LPC, and host of Brain Unblocked: The Brainspotting Podcast. Carolyn helps high-achieving, health-minded perfectionists squelch brain blocks and unhelpful habits. She is dedicated to helping entrepreneurs get out of their heads, stop drinking, and start living optimized AF. Carolyn side hustles at her private practice, The Joy Effect, an in-person and virtual counseling practice in The Woodlands, TX, where she specializes in Anxiety and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD).   You don't have to painfully shame yourself into a new way of doing things.

Synopsis: The Straits Times analyses Singapore's latest news and announcements in this weekly podcast.  The Straits Times' Zakir Hussain, Singapore editor at The Straits Times, speaks with Money FM 89.3's Timothy Goh and Bharati Jagdish. Some over-the-counter medicine to treat fever, cough and cold are in short supply at pharmacies here, as more Covid-19 patients opt to self-medicate. Checks by The Straits Times found that several pharmacies, including Watsons and Guardian, are running low on Panadol Cough & Cold and Decolgen - which are used to relieve symptoms brought about by a cold or flu. In this week's episode, the team discusses the severity of this shortage and when we can expect supplies of common medications to recover and stabilise.

What do you do when life gets tough?

Let's slow down and become aware of the ways in which we distract ourselves from discomfort at every turn. Whether it's with alcohol or other substances or with an activity like scrolling social media, so often we have a tendency to numb, and self medicate our negative emotions and sensations. Don't worry! It's normal because it's what we were taught. But you can rip that program out and reinstall a new one. Release what does not serve you. Let go. #fall2021 If this video triggers you: ask yourself why and I love you. xo YOU'RE INVITED TO THE SOBER OCTOBER CHALLENGE: An Alcohol free challenge for Self Care Over Self Medicating! We will collectively abstain from alcohol from Oct 1-15 (option to do the whole month!) I will provide daily a mix of education, motivation, and self soothing practices to help you along! Together we got this! Join here on Facebook: https://fb.me/e/2z4kUlJGV Or email selfcarewithsam@gmail.com for more info! #selfcare #selfmedicating #alcoholfree #soberoctober #selfsoothing

Why is it so important to know if self-medicating is safe or not? Listen today and find out now!
