SENSITIVITY IS NOTHING TO APOLOGIZE FOR; IT'S HOW YOU'RE WIRED It's okay to have hard times. It's okay to feel lonely. It's okay to feel lonely when you're with a bunch of people. It's okay to not be okay. It's okay to be happy, joyful, and stimmy. It's okay to be quiet and reserved. It's okay to want to be out and doing things. It's okay to want to be in your bed, in your home where it's cozy and comfy. There is no way that you can screw up being who you are because who you are is really okay. It's even when it feels like you're not okay. You are enough. You are perfect as you are. You're wired differently and finding people that are wired like you can really make a difference. If you have that great and if you don't have it PODCAST HOST Patricia was a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over 17 years, but she is now exclusively providing coaching.

The conflict between our primitive brain and our prefrontal cortex is as old as our brain itself. Primitive brain wants to avoid pain, pursue immediate pleasure, and conserve energy, while our prefrontal cortex wants to plan for long-term goals and growth to improve the quality of our life. This conflict will often trigger internal negotiation between the two parts of our brain. When we can learn to increase our awareness around this negotiation and apply some tools to our thinking, we can find it easier to shut down the negotiation, keep the commitments we make to ourselves, and grow in our self-respect and self-trust.

Hey there, welcome back to Authentically ADHD! I'm so glad you pressed play on this episode today, because its on a topic that when I learned it, i found out it was the work i never knew i was missing and this skill has given me so much more access to my authentic self. Today, we're diving into a big, messy, important topic: self-trust – or as I like to call it, the tangled web of self-trust. Now, if you just chuckled nervously or sighed "ugh, self-trust...", you're in the right place. Stick around for the next 25 minutes, and we'll untangle this web together with a healthy dose of honesty, humor, and hope.Host (conversational): So, self-trust. Raise your hand if you've ever said something like, "I can't trust myself to do anything right!" (I'm raising mine high, by the way). Maybe you promised yourself you'd start that project well before the deadline, only to find yourself pulling an all-nighter again. Or you swore you'd not forget your friend's birthday this time, and then... whoops, you did – again. If any of this rings a bell, you are so not alone. In fact, one ADHD coach bluntly observed: "This is the truth about ADHD and self-trust: it doesn't exist. ADHD adults don't trust themselves at all. Our self-concept begins to erode pretty early in life". Ouch, right? That sounds harsh, but for many of us it feels true. Our confidence in ourselves got pretty banged up over the years.Host (relatable anecdote): I want to start with a little story here. Picture late-diagnosed me a few years back, before I knew I had ADHD. Every morning I'd pep-talk myself: "Today, I'm gonna get everything on my to-do list done. I got this." And every evening I'd go to bed thinking, "I screwed it up again. What is wrong with me?" I remember once triple-booking my Saturday because Past Me didn't trust Future Me to actually remember my plans – I figured at least one of those events I'd flake on, so better to have backups!
The space between self doubt and self trust can be a very hard place to be. In this final episode of this trusting yourself series, we are diving into the emotional habits that keep you stuck and how to step into the role of observer so you can change them. Do you know how you habitually respond to stress? Trauma? Most of us don't. And when we are unaware, we keep reacting the same way, over and over. This is the place of feeling stuck. It can be a difficult place to live. Limbo is never fun. Today we talk about recognizing your default emotional responses, getting comfortable feeling hard emotions, without drowning in them, the difference between processing and indulging And how to navigate the in between space, that tender place where you are not quite trusting yourself yet, but you are no longer ignoring your truth either. This is about building emotional awareness so you can choose differently and trust yourself. More deeply, one moment at a time. Click here for your The Green Shoe Society Podcast 135 Playlist

Self-trust isn't just a cute idea, it's the foundation for literally everything. This week we're joined by Emily Romero, trauma therapist turned author and creator of The Self-Trust Model™, to talk about how to stop overthinking, start trusting your gut, and finally feel like you've got you. If people-pleasing, insecurity, or indecision have been running the show... this one's for you. We cover: Why people-pleasing, overthinking, and low self-worth all come back to self-trust. If you're stuck in “I don't know what I want” mode, Emily breaks down how that's not a personality flaw, it's a self-trust issue. What to do when you feel totally disconnected from yourself. Tired of second-guessing every decision? Here's how to reconnect with your inner voice (even if it feels really quiet right now). How to build self-trust without needing to be perfect. Trusting yourself doesn't mean you always get it “right," it means knowing you'll have your own back either way. The sneaky ways we self-abandon in everyday life. From ignoring your gut to staying in the wrong relationship, Emily shares how to spot the tiny ways you break trust with yourself. Why trying to be the “good girl” keeps you stuck. We unpack how internalized shame, pressure to perform, and perfectionism block you from feeling safe in your own body. What sexual empowerment has to do with self-trust. Feeling confident in bed starts way before the bedroom. Emily explains how self-trust shapes desire, boundaries, and pleasure. How to trust yourself during a big life shift (like a breakup or job loss). When everything's changing, it's easy to spiral. Here's how to stay grounded and move forward with clarity. The difference between fear and intuition (and how to tell them apart). Is it a red flag or just anxiety? Emily breaks down how to read your body's signals and know what's actually right for you.

In this special re-release, I'm sharing one of my absolute favorite conversations from the early days of Unleash Your Inner Creative…an episode so dear to me, it feels like a time capsule. You'll even hear how my voice has changed, because I recorded this over six years ago, basically as a creative fetus. LOLz.This powerful episode features the incredible visual artist, podcaster, and creative entrepreneur, Amanda Oleander. If you're not familiar with her work yet, prepare to fall in love.Amanda's story is a shining example of what's possible when you take a leap of faith on your creative calling—especially when life pushes you before you feel fully ready. From raw talent to becoming the most-followed woman on Periscope, Amanda's rise is about so much more than art—it's about courage, self-belief, and embracing discomfort to create the life you're meant for.This episode made me emotional (I think it's the first time I ever cried on the pod!) and helped me reconnect with my own creative power. I know it will do the same for you.

What if the key to releasing chronic pain wasn't about controlling negative emotions—but genuinely transforming them… along with your mindset, in a way that goes beyond what you might expect? In this powerful episode, Brandy works live with Dr. Kim D'Eramo, a physician and mind-body healing advocate who has been struggling with chronic migraines and neck pain for 25 years. What unfolds is a deeply moving, spontaneous healing session that uncovers the hidden connection between self-trust, suppressed emotions, and physical symptoms. You'll discover: Why suppressing emotions (even with the best intentions) can keep you stuck in pain How guilt, fear of being “too much,” and childhood imprints can create energetic blocks The importance of emotional honesty and rewiring old trauma patterns Simple but powerful ways to build self-trust—to boost your confidence, emotional freedom, and healing This episode is packed with real-time shifts, eye-opening insights, and a powerful reminder: true healing begins when you stop suppressing and start transforming.

In this episode, we explore how emotional avoidance and self-abandonment often disguise themselves as being “helpful,” “productive,” or “strong.” Whether it's saying yes too quickly, fixing others' emotions, or numbing out with distractions, these patterns are not bad habits - they're survival strategies we picked up when it wasn't safe to feel or express ourselves. We look at where these behaviors come from, why they served a purpose, and what they're costing us now. We discuss gentle, practical ways to begin recognizing and shifting these patterns. You'll walk away with a deeper understanding of why it's hard to stay with yourself emotionally and how beginning to do so—even for a few seconds at a time—is a powerful act of healing. We don't always notice when we're abandoning ourselves – it can look like overdoing, over giving, or overcommitting. Get your FREE Boundaries Ebook here!

In this episode, Erika discusses the importance of overcoming self-doubt and the role of the inner critic in shaping our mindset. She introduces the concept of three inner voices: the protector, the performer, and the guide and emphasizes the need to shift our inner dialogue to foster personal growth. Takeaways The inner critic often holds us back from pursuing our dreams. Recognizing your inner dialogue can help shift your perspective. There are three distinct voices in our minds: the protector, the performer and the guide. The guide represents your highest self and should lead your thoughts. Journaling can be a powerful tool for self-reflection and growth. Meditation helps in reconnecting with your inner voice. Affirmations can anchor your nervous system and promote self-love. Community support is essential for overcoming self-doubt. CONNECT WITH ME SUBSTACK- show notes & all links Instagram @RituelleOfficial Meditate with me for $5.55/Month Hot To Hotter Challenge

Send me a text!Finding alignment and the ability to return to yourself again and again supports resiliency as you navigate the waves of life. Alignment isn't a fixed state we achieve once and then maintain effortlessly—it's something we come back to again and again. It's especially important during times of transition, uncertainty, or change. When things feel off, it's not a sign of failure, but often a signal to pause and check in. This practice of reconnecting to yourself helps you make choices that reflect who you are and what you value. Whether you're facing a major life shift or engaging the small, repeated decisions of daily life, cultivating a relationship with yourself through the practice of alignment helps make clarity feel more accessible and easeful. In this episode of Mindset Unlimited, I invited Kim Romain to join me in a conversation about cultivating a practice that supports finding alignment and the ability to return to yourself again and again. Some of what we talk about in this episode includes:How to tell the difference between belonging and fitting inWhat alignment really feels like—and why it's not about perfectionUnderstanding supportive resilience (as opposed to the societally weaponized)Reclaiming your power to choose, even in hard moments Through this episode, you'll learn how to work with alignment as a living practice—one that supports clarity, resilience, and choice through both major transitions and everyday moments.

In this episode of Fitness & Sushi, I'm sharing a personal story about how a health flare-up exposed a hidden belief system that was quietly driving me into burnout—and how that same pattern might be playing out in your relationship with food, your body, and exercise.

Hey mission fam! In episode 206 - The Benefits of a Holding Pattern, I'm diving deep into the concept of a "holding pattern" - something we often judge ourselves for, but which can actually be incredibly powerful and necessary. I share how these periods of seeming stillness aren't about procrastination or laziness, but can be sacred spaces of healing, regrouping, and intentional preparation. Drawing from aviation analogies and personal experiences (like President Utchdorf), I explore how holding patterns protect us from rushed decisions and give us time to reconnect with ourselves and God. Whether you're a missionary going through the motions, a returned missionary processing your experience, or someone waiting on a big life decision, this episode will help you see these moments not as setbacks, but as valuable parts of your growth journey. I wrap up by sharing a beautiful scripture from Psalms - "Rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him" - and encourage listeners to view their holding patterns as intentional, holy spaces. My hope is that you'll walk away with more compassion for yourself and understanding that you're always progressing, even when it doesn't look like forward movement. As always, if you found this episode helpful, I want to invite you to subscribe if you aren't already, share this episode with your friends and missionaries you know, and write a review. I know this work will help LDS missionaries around the world and it would mean so much to me if you did. Until next week my friends.
