What happens when you finally stop asking permission to be yourself? If you’ve been wondering how to stop people-pleasing as a homeschool mom, this conversation will show you it’s possible. Homeschool mom and creative entrepreneur Latoya shares her journey from living for everyone else to discovering what she actually wants—and why that shift changed everything in her homeschool life. This month’s focus: Nurturing the Nurturer — because you can’t give what you don’t have, and your kids don’t need your perfection. They need your presence. Latoya hit 40 and realized she’d spent decades doing what everyone expected—but had never asked herself what SHE actually wanted. As a homeschool mom, restaurant management graduate, and someone who always made sure everyone else was okay, the idea of prioritizing herself felt selfish. Scary. Wrong. But when she finally gave herself permission to explore her creativity, build her crochet business, and trust her own voice? That was when things began to shift. Her homeschool days became more peaceful. Her kids became more autonomous. And she discovered that choosing herself wasn’t selfish—it was the best thing she could do for her family. How to Stop People-Pleasing as a Homeschool Mom: Latoya’s Journey from Self-Sacrifice to Self-Trust What You’ll Discover in This Episode The Permission You’ve Been Waiting For: Why serving yourself actually serves your family better How to distinguish between what you want and what others expect of you The power of silence and solitude in discovering your authentic voice Why “waiting for the answer” is part of the process From Rigid to Present: Redefining Homeschool Success What a “good day” used to look like (spoiler: checking all the boxes) vs. what it looks like now How to choose peace over productivity for a more meaningful family life Why your kids’ autonomy grows when you honour your own The truth about gaps, “behind,” and what kids actually need to thrive Caribbean Flow vs. Hustle Culture: The cultural pressure to always be “doing something” Why presence matters more than productivity How to give yourself permission to just BE with your people What happens when you stop measuring success externally Creative Work as Life Force (Not Luxury): Why Latoya’s crochet business isn’t “extra”—it’s essential How creative pursuits actually fuel better mothering Choosing fulfillment over financial gain (and being okay with that) Teaching your kids to honour their interests by modeling it yourself The Inner Work Nobody Talks About: Why inner work is gritty, messy, and nothing like social media portrays How to extend to yourself the same compassion you give others The first small decision where you stop explaining and start trusting yourself Why disappointing others is sometimes the most aligned choice “What is best for you, for me is what’s best for them because it trickles into everything else. So the happier I become, the more comfortable I become with myself, the better everything around me gets.”  — Latoya Why This Conversation Matters This isn’t just another interview about homeschooling. It’s about what happens when you finally permit yourself to ask: Who am I beyond the roles I play? If you’re struggling with how to stop people-pleasing as a homeschool mom, Latoya’s story is for you. She’s every mom who’s ever wondered if wanting something for herself makes her selfish. But here’s what Latoya discovered (and what you will too): When you choose yourself, your kids don’t suffer. They thrive. Because they get to see what it looks like to honor your own voice, trust your own knowing, and live from alignment instead of obligation. Your homeschool doesn’t need more curriculum. It needs more of YOU—the real you, the aligned you, the unapologetic you.

Hey UN•THERAPIST,We need your help UN•THERAPIZING something...While watching an interview with a reality TV personality, a statement was made: "Self-sacrifice is not love." 

The mother has a distinct role. What is the specific sacrifice of good mothers?Myrna Young hosts Vanessa Bennett, author of "The Motherhood Myth," to explore the myths surrounding modern motherhood. They discuss the societal pressures that lead mothers to feel trapped or inadequate, focusing on breaking away from ideals of self-sacrifice and perfectionism. Vanessa highlights how patriarchal and capitalist systems influence women's roles and emphasizes the importance of reclaiming one's identity. The episode offers insights into shifting from survival mode to a path of personal and spiritual growth in motherhood. Join the conversation to redefine what it means to be a mother today.Vanessa delves into the psychological aspects of motherhood and how the generational pendulum swings have influenced current parenting styles, particularly focusing on the intense pressure many women face to be perfect mothers. The episode also touches on the lesser-known trinity wound—the witch, the sister, and the mother wound—and how healing these wounds is crucial for rebuilding community among women. Vanessa emphasizes that motherhood can be a pathway to personal growth rather than a sentence of self-sacrifice. In this episode Myrna and Vanessa will discuss: 0:02 Reclaiming Identity and Challenging the role of Good Mothers6:25 Generational Shifts in Parenting Styles and Emotional Involvement9:55 The Impact of Societal Systems on Motherhood and Self-Worth16:42 Healing the Trinity Wound for Women's Empowerment23:07 The Emotional Challenges and Connections of Motherhood24:25 Redefining Motherhood by Balancing Self-Care and Parenting29:48 Rediscovering Identity and Balance in Motherhood35:45 The Impact of Collectivistic Cultures on Childhood Trauma39:49 Redefining Motherhood and Embracing Radical Responsibility43:28 Exploring Motherhood Myths and Support SystemsResources Mentioned:Vanessa Bennett's Website: vanessabennett.comInstagram: @vanessas.bennettBook: The Motherhood Myth Partner with the Podcast Your brand is featured through:• A CEO or expert interview that positions you as a thought leader• Host-read pre-roll and mid-roll ads woven naturally into other episodes• And long-term visibility across our full media ecosystemTo explore a brand partnership, visit myhelps.us/partner.See this video on The Transform Your Mind YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@MyhelpsUs/videosTo see a transcripts of this audio as well as links to all the advertisers on the show page https://myhelps.us/Follow Transform Your Mind on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/myrnamyoung/Follow Transform Your mind on Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063738390977Please leave a rating and review on iTunes https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/transform-your-mind/id1144973094 https://podcast.feedspot.com/personal_development_podcasts/

If you've ever heard the phrase “the safest place is to be in the center of God's will,” don't buy it. Often the path of obedience is travelled on the hardest of roads as it was in the Christmas story. Whether it was the Magi, Mary, or Joseph, they all encountered Jesus because they chose what was hard. Join us this Sunday as Pastor Brandon challenges us with the stark reality that tidings of comfort are not always God's will for our lives.

In 'Divine Love: Understanding God's Love Through Scripture,' Chris Montgomery delivers an inspiring sermon that explores the profound nature of God's love as depicted in the Bible. Through a deep dive into Romans chapter five, Montgomery discusses how divine love is more than a sentiment; it's a transformative force that intervenes in the lives of believers. He uses powerful illustrations, including the story of Peter Miller during the Revolutionary War, to highlight the self-sacrificial nature of God's love. Montgomery emphasizes the connection between the manger and the cross, illustrating how Jesus' birth and crucifixion are central to understanding divine love. This sermon invites listeners to reflect on their relationship with God and the ultimate display of love represented by Jesus' sacrifice.

This episode features guest hosts Dr. Scott Waltman and Kasey Pierce, authors of the forthcoming book The Rescuer Trap. Dr. Jeff Perron joins us to explore the deep-seated schemas (like Self-Sacrifice and Subjugation) that create the “Rescuer Trap.” We discuss how these unconscious, childhood-rooted patterns conflict with your adult values, and provide insight on using a schema-informed approach to establish boundaries and finally break free from the cycle of people-pleasing. Follow Dr. Perron on Substack: Are you the fixer, the over-giver, the emotional first responder for everyone but yourself? Welcome to The Rescuer Trap. We playfully own the labels “Parentified and Codependent” to make a point: these are not identities, but learned behaviors.And what can be learned can be unlearned. Hosts Dr. Scott Waltman and Kasey Pierce use Stoic philosophy and CBT to give you the tools to break the cycle and reclaim your autonomy. Your escape from the trap starts here. Based on the forthcoming book, The Rescuer Trap (New Harbinger).Thanks for reading Stoicism: Philosophy as a Way of Life! This post is public so feel free to share it.

In this week's Parasha, Lech Lecha, we begin once again to learn lessons from the lives of Avraham and Sarah. They were both great nivi'im and understood the ways of Heaven. When Sarah saw that she was not meriting to have children, she began to think of what she could do as a special zechut to change her mazal. Chazal tell us that Sarah was not physically capable of bearing children, as she did not even have a womb. She realized that for such a salvation, she would need an enormous zechut. So what did she do? The pasuk tells us: Sarah gave her maidservant Hagar to Avraham as a wife, saying, "Perhaps I will be built through her." What was so great about giving Hagar to Avraham? Sarah knew that Avraham had a mitzvah to have children, but perhaps she was the one preventing him from fulfilling that mitzvah. With tremendous selflessness, she gave another woman to her own husband, solely so that he could fulfill Hashem's will. Moreover, Sarah could have suggested that Hagar be taken as a pilegesh instead of a full wife. But she was concerned for the kavod of Avraham. He was like a prince, and it was not fitting for him to have less than a true wife. We know that the natural longing of a woman is for the attention of her husband. In fact, the Gemara calls a co-wife a tzarah — a rival — because it becomes a rivalry for their husband's attention. For Sarah to voluntarily offer her husband a different wife so he could fulfill the mitzvah was an act of extraordinary mesirut nefesh. Sarah understood that self-sacrifice brings great berachah and yeshuah. And indeed, later in the Parashah, Hashem changed her name from Sarai to Sarah, and announced that she would be blessed with a child — the child who would become the future of Klal Yisrael. The Kli Yakar explains that Hashem removed the Yud from "Sarai" because the letter Yud is masculine, symbolizing that she had been created like a male in that she was unable to bear children. He replaced it with the letter Hei , which is feminine, signifying that she would now be able to bear children in the normal way of a female. But numerically, there was a loss — Yud equals ten, Hei equals five. To restore balance, Hashem created another Hei (five) and attached it to the name of Avram, turning him into Avraham. The mekubalim explain that the letter Hei is associated with reproduction. The Kli Yakar writes that it was Sarah's zechut — the selflessness with which she gave her maidservant to Avraham — that enabled not only herself, but also Avram, who until then was unable to father children, to now have children. The Hei that was added to Avraham's name came from Sarah, because it was in her merit that he gained this ability. From here we see the enormous power of a mitzvah done with mesirut nefesh. Sarah's selflessness was the catalyst that enabled both her and Avraham to have children — and through it, Yitzchak Avinu came into the world. Every extra zechut that a person gains is of immeasurable value. Our Rabbis tell us that when a mitzvah is performed, it creates an et ratzon — a time of Divine favor. The greater the mitzvah, the greater the et ratzon . And tefillot offered at such a time rise even higher. May we all merit, be'ezrat Hashem , to gain the right zichuyot that will bring about yeshuot for all who need them. Shabbat Shalom

So often, we feel torn between caring for ourselves and serving our families, wondering if self-care and self-sacrifice can truly coexist.  It happens all year long, but it really can become a problem during the holidays, if you're not intentional about how you balance the two during the ordinary seasons of life. I want to help you see that they not only can — they must — if we're going to love from a place of peace, presence, and abundance all year long. In this week's episode of the Happy, Holy Mama Podcast, we'll explore how to care for ourselves in ways that strengthen our ability to pour out love freely, without resentment or burnout.  My prayer is that by the end of this episode, you'll feel renewed in your vocation, confident in your “yes” to God, and ready to embrace your daily sacrifices with joy and grace. Grab your earbuds and join me for this most valuable podcast episode: Joyful Self-Sacrifice.   Join MAGNIFY the only extended Advent life coaching course for Catholic homeschooling mothers to help you have more peace and presence before, during, and after the holidays!

Jeremiah 38

In this powerful episode, we challenge the modern myth that “good parenting” means self-sacrifice at all costs. Instead, we explore what it really takes to show up strong for your family — starting with how you lead yourself. From the societal pressure to “do it all” to the quiet burnout no one talks about, we unpack how ignoring your own needs doesn't make you a better parent — it makes it harder to be the present, grounded leader your kids actually need. We redefine self-care as self-leadership and break down the mindset shifts, personal responsibility, and daily actions that help you parent from a place of strength — not survival. If you've ever felt guilty for wanting more time, more space, or more growth… this conversation will give you permission to take it — and a plan to model a healthier path for your family. Because your kids don't need a perfect parent. They need one who's fully alive.

Love isn't a fleeting emotion or a self-serving desire—it's a self-giving act. Explore Ephesians 5 to learn how to imitate God by walking in love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us.

Our culture is obsessed with self-help, believing that if you try harder, manifest more, or believe in yourself enough, you'll find confidence, growth, and success. But Scripture shows us a different way. In this episode, Sam unpacks why self-help is no help at all, and why self-sacrifice, through humility and obedience, is the way of Christ. The Christian life is about emptying ourselves so that we can be filled with the Holy Spirit, who equips us to walk in God's strength instead of our own. You'll learn what it looks like to surrender your marriage, family, career, and success to God's hands, and be challenged to reflect on the parts of your heart that need to be laid down at the cross. Key Scriptures: •Luke 9:23 — “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.” •Philippians 2:3–7 — “Christ Jesus… made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant.”

How often do you take care of yourself? In this episode, I talk with Angelique Foye-Fletcher, LMFT, RPT about breaking the cycle of self-sacrifice and:  • How your cultural upbringing shapes your identity as an HSP • Learning to take care of yourself when you grew up in an environment or culture that didn't have room for your sensitivity • Why simple acts of mindfulness are deeply healing and can change the way you parent Angelique Foye-Fletcher (she/her) is a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and Registered Play Therapist who helps sensitive, neurodivergent adults and caregivers heal through her four pillars of Books, Nature, Play, and Connection.

Send us a textWhen your heart wants closeness but your “old map” keeps pulling you toward distance, you're stuck in the Catch-22 of attraction. In this episode, Gemma explains how early schemas quietly shape who you're drawn to, why “chemistry” so often points you toward the familiar (not the healthy), and what it takes to consciously rewrite your Love Template so you can choose emotionally available partners.In this episode, you'll learnWhat a schema is (quick primer) and why it's more useful than attachment boxesHow the Abandonment schema fuels anxious preoccupation, magical thinking, and self-fulfilling patternsWhy Emotional Deprivation normalises giving a lot while rarely feeling seen or nurturedHow Defectiveness/Shame covertly lowers your standards and tolerates poor treatmentThe role of Subjugation and Self-Sacrifice in silencing yourself early, then staying too longWhy attraction isn't random and how your Love Template (old map) picks partners for you on autopilotThe Healthy Adult shift: moving from familiar chemistry to choosing steady, emotionally available partnersKey takeawaysAttraction pulls toward what's familiar, not necessarily what's good.“I'll just go with the flow” keeps you on autopilot; intentional dating rewrites the outcome.Knowledge is power BUT applied knowledge (with guidance) is transformation.Your patterns in romance often ripple into career, friendships, and self-worth, change one, and others shift.Try this this weekName your top 1–2 schemas you hear in this episode.Write one “Healthy Adult” decision you'll make before your next date (e.g., “If communication is inconsistent in the first 2 weeks, I'll opt out kindly and early”).List 3 signals of emotional availability you'll move toward (e.g., follow-through, steady pace, repair after missteps).Resources & next stepsFree Live Masterclass - The Psychology of Attraction Wednesday, 10 September 2025 at 7:00 pm AEST (replay available for a few days).  ▶︎ Register HereLove Wisely - 12-Week Live Group Coaching (Sept cohort) Enrolments open Wednesday, 10 September 2025 at ~7:45 pm AEST for 7 days.

Do people often call you “so strong”... like it's a compliment? You hold everything together. You always show up. You're the one everyone turns to—at work, at home, in your friend group. But here's the truth: that identity comes at a cost. In this episode, Penny breaks down the emotional and neurological toll of always being “the strong one”—and how to finally let go without guilt.  

This special episode of the Rich Mind Podcast explores how our greatest pain points can become the powerful fuel for life-altering transformation. Randy is joined by a special guest, his daughter Adrienne, who shares a courageous and deeply personal story of leaving a long-term, controlling relationship that was detrimental to her mental and physical health. Adrienne walks through the process of losing her sense of self, the "straw that broke the camel's back" moment, and the immense courage it took to make the decision to leave, even without having all the answers. This conversation is an inspirational masterclass on recognizing when you're stuck, finding the strength to take the first step, and the incredible growth and happiness that waits on the other side of your biggest challenges. Key Takeaways: Your biggest pain point doesn't have to be a roadblock; it can be the catalyst you need to make a necessary change. People-pleasing and self-sacrificing can lead to losing your own identity and accepting treatment you don't deserve. The moment of decision is often sparked by a seemingly small event—"the straw that broke the camel's back." You don't need to have every step figured out to make a change. The first step is the decision itself; the "how" will reveal itself later. Having a support system is crucial, but ultimately, the courage to act must come from within yourself. Taking a "step back" (like moving back home) can be a strategic move to propel yourself two steps forward into a better future. True growth often requires you to let go of a "good" situation to make space for a "great" one. The negative weight of a bad situation is immense, and the feeling of freedom after leaving it is immeasurable. Questions Answered in This Episode: How can your biggest challenge become the fuel for your greatest growth? What are the warning signs of a controlling relationship or a situation that's draining your identity? How do you find the courage to leave a situation when you feel stuck and don't have all the answers? What does the "straw that broke the camel's back" feel like in a real-life scenario? How important is a support system when making a major life change? How do you deal with the fear and uncertainty of the future after making a brave decision? How can stepping back in life temporarily help you move forward in the long run? What does true personal growth and transformation look like after overcoming a major challenge? Key People, Concepts, & Terms: People: Randy Wilson, Adrienne Wilson. Concepts: Pain as Fuel, Growth, Courage, People-Pleasing, Self-Sacrifice, Comfort Zone, Stepping Back to Move Forward, Letting Go, Transformation.

A Note from James:So Dr. Oz—television personality turned government official—this is such an interesting thing. He's going to be the new administrator of the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, CMS. He's going to be in charge of all Medicare and Medicaid. What does he know or think about these parts of our government?Medicare and Medicaid, combined with Social Security, make up the biggest part of government spending. So it'd be interesting to know what he thinks. On his show, he'd talk about everything from medicine to alternative medicine to other healing methods. I want to know how he's going to handle things in the government.This is a republishing of a past podcast I did with Dr. Oz, but it still describes his approach to medicine. And I think, as a citizen, this is useful. That's why I wanted to share it again. He's going to be working closely with RFK Jr. and Marty Makary (who's also been on this podcast and is now head of the FDA).So here's Dr. Oz.Episode Description:In this re-released conversation, James speaks with Dr. Mehmet Oz about his philosophy on medicine, self-care, and the critical role nutrition plays in overall well-being. As Dr. Oz steps into a major government role as the head of CMS, this episode offers valuable insight into the beliefs and strategies he may bring to one of the most powerful positions in U.S. healthcare.Together, they cover the power of second opinions, why most people misunderstand sugar, how gut bacteria drive health, and what it means to choose yourself when it comes to well-being. They also unpack highlights from Dr. Oz's book Food Can Fix It, including practical strategies for brain health, stress, and weight loss.What You'll Learn:Why second opinions can drastically change your medical outcomes.The connection between stress, sugar, and your brain's coping mechanisms.What to eat (and avoid) for long-term brain health and energy.How gut bacteria influence digestion, immunity, and mood.Dr. Oz's personal routine for energy, sleep, and productivity.Timestamped Chapters:[00:00] Dr. Oz's New Role in Government[01:00] Dr. Oz's Philosophy: Empowering Patients[02:45] The Power of Second Opinions[04:00] Behind the Book: Food Can Fix It[06:00] Parenting, Health, and Self-Sacrifice[07:30] Why We Stress Eat—and What to Do Instead[09:30] Fixing the Root Cause with Food[12:00] Brain Food and Omega-3 Fats[15:30] Antioxidants, Alcohol, and Wheat Brain[17:30] Why Sugar Without Fiber Is Dangerous[18:30] Juicing vs. Smoothies[19:30] Food Traditions, Rituals, and Healing[20:15] Using Food as Medicine for Pain[21:00] The Role of Gut Bacteria[23:30] Smart Weight Loss Strategies[26:30] Rethinking Dairy, Gluten, and Processed Foods[28:00] Eating for All-Day Energy[30:30] Daily Routine: Sleep Hygiene and Focus[33:00] Final Thoughts and Dr. Oz's Upcoming PodcastAdditional Resources:

I just want what I want when I want it! Perhaps you've thought or felt that before? I certainly have. It's actually hard work to discern how to balance when I need to care for myself and when I need to tend to the needs of others. There is no one right answer, and it's easy to fall into vice in either direction. As we go through life, the right balance changes. We have to adapt as our lives change (perhaps another child is born) and as those around us change (perhaps our wife is sick.) How do we balance this? Join me in this episode as I cover some basics in this balance. I talk about marriage, children, and work. I invite you to be prayerfully attentive to really understand if a passtime is restorative to you or not.

Friday Night Live 14 March 2025In this episode, I examine the complexities of modern relationships, focusing on societal expectations and shifting gender dynamics. I discuss young men's trends of prioritizing video games over dating, and how this reflects changing norms for women. The conversation critiques women's attitudes toward feminist privileges, linking them to rising dissatisfaction and declining birth rates in progressive societies. I explore the psychological pressures affecting intergender relationships and suggest that true fulfillment may arise from self-sacrifice and gratitude, encouraging listeners to reflect on connection in today's digital age.GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025
