If you've been doing everything “right” — working on yourself, showing up for everyone, trying harder every day — and you're still exhausted, it might be time for a different kind of courage.In this episode of Your Courageous Life, Kate explores why constant striving often comes from fear, not fulfillment — and how to stop equating effort with worth. You'll learn why rest is an act of bravery, how to recognize over-efforting as a control strategy, and how to reconnect with self-trust through stillness instead of struggle.If you've been stuck in burnout, perfectionism, or endless self-improvement, this conversation will help you soften, breathe, and remember that courage isn't about pushing through — it's about coming home to yourself.
Most people think self-trust is something you feel once you've healed enough, regulated enough, or grown enough.It isn't.In this episode, Denise breaks down why self-trust isn't emotional — it's behavioral. It's built through follow-through, especially when discomfort shows up after the decision. She explores what steadiness looks like in leadership, relationships, and everyday life — and why not everyone will recalibrate when you stop overfunctioning.If you're tired of negotiating with what you already know, this conversation is your line in the sand.
Your health is not just about weight or discipline.It's about self-trust.In this powerful conversation, Dr. Nicole Monteiro sits down with wellness expert Jason Harris to explore how women's health impacts confidence, relationships, marriage, and long-term wellbeing.Together they unpack:• Why high-achieving women still struggle with self-worth • How physical health affects emotional confidence and intimacy • The difference between lifespan and healthspan • What oxidative stress actually is — and why it matters • How preventative health is easier than reactionary care • Why sleep, stress, and recovery change everything • How tracking tools can support intuition instead of control • The connection between self-talk, faith, and personal powerJason shares insights from 16+ years in women's wellness and nearly 30 years of marriage — including how trauma, family dynamics, and mindset influence money, self-image, and relationships.You'll also learn about non-invasive biohacking tools that measure antioxidant levels in the body and how measurable feedback can improve lifestyle habits, supplementation absorption, and long-term health outcomes.This episode is for women who: • want sustainable health, not perfection • care about longevity and energy • want to feel confident in their bodies • understand that wellness impacts relationshipsBecause when a woman feels strong, regulated, and supported in her body — everything shifts.

In this solo episode of Bodhisattva Conversations, I explore the practice of being with uncertainty, and the truth that the only thing we are ever certain of is that nothing is certain!As human beings, we go to great lengths to construct safety. We build structures around money, work, relationships, identity, and even our spiritual beliefs. We tell ourselves that if we arrange life carefully enough, we will be protected from change.But everything changes.This episode is not about abandoning stability or rejecting the practical foundations of life, shelter, food, work, security. They support our human survival! Instead, this podcast questions where stability becomes identity, and where safety becomes attachment.What if uncertainty is not something to conquer, but something to live with?What if the fleeting nature of life is what makes it precious?When we truly accept that people will not stay forever, that circumstances will shift, that outcomes are not guaranteed, something relaxes. We begin to appreciate more. We say thank you more often. We listen more closely. We treasure the ordinary moments that are, in truth, extraordinary.The deepest safety may not be found in controlling life, but in learning to remain present within it.

Send a textEver notice how your best boundary script disappears the second your parent's name lights up your phone? We dig into why that happens and what to do next, blending lived experience with clinical insight to make sense of fawning, conditioned guilt, and the body's fierce loyalty to old safety strategies. Our guest, licensed professional counselor Jessica Van der Merwe, specializes in trauma, complex trauma, dissociation, and adult children of dysfunctional families—and she brings both expertise and heart to a topic that feels raw, messy, and very real.Together we unpack the gap between knowing and doing: why cognitive plans crumble under stress, how the nervous system prioritizes survival over scripts, and what it takes to gently retrain your body that choosing yourself is safe. We draw a clear line between true guilt and conditioned guilt, offering simple language and somatic anchors—like labeling sensations and repeating this is not an emergency—to help you keep boundaries without drowning in shame. We also name the grief so many carry: ambiguous loss for the parent you needed but didn't have, and the heavy loop of hope and letdown when change never comes.If “self-care” makes you cringe, you're not alone. We introduce realistic, micro-sized experiments in self-priority that respect your window of tolerance, from delaying a reply to stepping outside for one minute of sun. No ultimatums, no quick fixes—just steady practice that teaches your system a new story about safety and connection. Expect validation, practical tools, and a compassionate reminder that your body isn't broken; it's brilliant at keeping you alive, and it can learn new patterns.Listen now and share your take: what tiny experiment will you try this week—and what better word should replace “self-care”?

In this episode of Single, Not Spiraling, we're talking about self-trust, standards, and what it actually means to stop settling for mediocre love. Decentering men isn't about rejecting partnership — it's about building enough internal safety that you're no longer making decisions from anxiety, desperation, or fear of being alone. Self-trust is confidence, intuition, and believing your own thoughts, needs, and wants without immediately outsourcing them. It's the steady feeling that even if a decision changes your life, you'll be okay. We unpack how self-trust sharpens discernment in dating, how anxiety gets confused with intuition, and why raising your standards has less to do with attracting a man and more to do with not abandoning yourself. If you're learning how to trust yourself, hold your standards, and choose partnership from alignment instead of panic, this episode will meet you exactly where you are.Stay connected here Connect with me on Instagram Please email me here: Lauren@ohyeahcoaching.comApply for coaching HEREWould You Date You?

Are you constantly funding your own creative projects and ending up depleted, disappointed, or broke?In this minisode, I share one of the most powerful lessons I ever learned while coaching a multimillionaire: rich people do not spend their own money to launch new projects. They find sponsors, investors, patrons, and partners.So why are artists and indie creators doing the opposite?In this episode, we talk about:- Why self-funding your art can create resentment and burnout-How to stop being your own investor-Where to look for funding including sponsors, grants, corporations, nonprofits, and angel investors-Why artists used to have patrons and why that model still works-How to adopt an abundance mindset without going into debtIf you've ever drained your savings for your art, this episode is your wake-up call. You deserve funding. You deserve support. And you do not have to go broke to create.
What if the very thing people told you was “too much” about you was actually your greatest gift?In this soulful conversation, Wendy talks with Oneika Mays — meditation teacher, storyteller, and author — about what it really means to bet on yourself in midlife. Oneika shares how she moved from 20 years as a bookseller to teaching mindfulness (including groundbreaking work at Rikers Island), and how grief ultimately gave her the permission to pursue her lifelong dream of writing.At 54, Oneika is stepping fully into a creative life — with a debut book on the way and a TV pilot already winning awards. Her story is a powerful reminder that reinvention is not one bold leap, but a series of brave choices to trust yourself again and again.If you've ever been told you're “too much,” this episode is for you.What you'll hear in this episode
What if the real problem isn't that you don't know what to do, but it's that you're too depleted to trust what you already know?In this episode of Life of And, Tiffany sits down with longtime mentor and monthly conversation partner Brian Kavicky of Lushin to unpack decision fatigue and the sneaky way it chips away at self-trust for high-performing women carrying a heavy load. Tiffany shares two vulnerable stories from a season where life felt like too much: realizing her marriage wasn't what she'd been pretending it was, and a holiday moment where overwhelm pushed her into making an irrational “middle-of-the-night Christmas lights” decision.Together, Tiffany and Brian name what's really happening in these seasons: the tyranny of the urgent, the “racket” of overwhelm that can reward overfunctioning, and the avoidance loop that keeps big decisions buried under small tasks. Brian reframes self-trust as what happens after a decision: the ability to stand by your choice without rewriting it the moment discomfort or pushback shows up. They also talk through how feedback loops can train leaders to doubt themselves, and why this struggle is often a sign you're a high-capacity performer, not someone who's failing.You'll walk away with a framework to:Recognize the early indicators that you're slipping into overwhelmSeparate urgent noise from what actually mattersBorrow objectivity when your brain can't sequence next stepsProtect your decisions from pushback-driven second-guessingWish you could talk it out with BK?

There comes a moment in many leadership journeys when all the behaviors that once drove success—working harder, stepping in faster, proving competence—suddenly stop delivering the same results. You're still capable. Still committed. Still responsible. And yet, something feels off. In this episode, Janet explores that often-unspoken turning point and why it's not a failure, but a call to a deeper kind of leadership.This conversation is about the inner shift required as leaders move into higher levels of responsibility. Janet unpacks why leadership effectiveness evolves from visible execution to discernment, presence, and judgment, and how learning to pause, sense, and respond intentionally becomes a defining edge. This is an invitation to outgrow what no longer fits and lead from clarity instead of habit.In this episode:✅ Why working harder eventually stops being the answer✅ The invisible shift from execution to judgment at senior levels✅ How micromanagement often signals a deeper leadership transition✅ The power of pausing instead of reacting✅ Asking “What is needed here?” instead of “What should I do?”✅ The difference between habitual action and intentional response✅ How leadership presence deepens through discernment, not control✅ Why maturity in leadership often feels uncomfortable at firstAbout Janet Ioli:Janet Ioli is a globally recognized executive advisor, coach, and leadership expert with over 25 years of experience developing leaders in Fortune 100 companies and global organizations.She created The Inner Edge—a framework, a movement, and a message that flips leadership from mere success performance to presence; from ego to soul.

I recently had the opportunity to guest coach in an amazing program led by Dr. Stacy Heimburger Smalley. We explored what it really takes for high-achieving women to rebuild self-trust, confidence, and sustainable success — without burnout or perfectionism. Together, we unpack why so many driven women set powerful goals… yet still feel disconnected or frustrated in the process. This episode is a grounded conversation about identity, nervous system awareness, and redefining success in a way that actually supports your energy. Inside this episode: • Why consistency (not perfection) builds real self-trust • How to stop moving the goalpost and acknowledge progress • The power of setting intentions based on how you want to feel • Why small, aligned actions create lasting confidence • How to define success for your current season of leadership If you're a woman in sales, leadership, or a performance-driven role who wants growth that feels grounded instead of exhausting, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are.

For nearly three decades, Alicia Keys has used her voice to move the world, but she says the most powerful lesson she has learned is how to listen to herself. In this conversation from October 2025, the 17-time Grammy Award winner joins Hoda at Making Space Wellness Day at Brooklyn's Wythe Hotel to talk about trusting intuition, unlearning old habits, and finding stillness in a world that rarely slows down. Keys also opens up about building her wellness brand, Keys Soulcare, bringing her Broadway musical Hell's Kitchen to life, and the peace that comes from finally betting on yourself.

Where Science, Shadow Work, and Spirit Collide to Manifest Your Miracles.In this episode, I explain why you don't trust yourself and how that lack of self-trust quietly impacts your life, your decisions, and your manifestations. This isn't a mindset issue and it's not because you're broken. It's because your nervous system learned that it wasn't safe to trust your own signal. I break down how nervous system protection, safety-seeking, and learned patterns override intuition, and what actually rebuilds self-trust in a regulated body.Episode Takeaways:• Why self-trust isn't a mindset issue • How the nervous system prioritizes safety over intuition • Why you were born trusting yourself and how that trust was trained out of you • The role of regulation in manifestation and decision-making • Two simple steps to begin rebuilding self-trustSelf-trust isn't built through force or positive thinking. It's rebuilt through safety, regulation, and embodied choice. When the nervous system feels safe, intuition comes back online. And when intuition comes back online, you stop outsourcing your power, you stop freezing in indecision, and your manifestations finally have a stable body to land in.✨ MANIFESTING MIRACLES ACADEMY ✨(previously called Secret Society of Manifestors)Your Gateway to Manifesting Wealth, Love, Joy, and Freedom.Join now: https://manifestingmiracles.thinkific.com/pages/memberships⬆️ Try it out for free for one month!

In this fascinating episode of the Compared to Who? podcast, Heather Creekmore is joined by Dr. Brook Sheehan to explore the topic of listening to your body—addressing misconceptions, fears, and spiritual questions that often come up in conversations about health and self-care. Dr. Brook Sheehan shares her powerful personal story, including growing up in a conventional medical model, her diagnosis with cerebral palsy, and her journey to becoming a chiropractor. Through her experiences, Dr. Brook discusses how she moved from ignoring her body’s signals to idolizing health—and finally, to navigating a balanced, grace-filled approach to honoring the wisdom God built into our bodies. Highlights include: The difference between bodily wisdom and New Age thinking from a Christian perspective How tuning into simple “this or that” decisions each day can help rebuild trust with your body Destigmatizing emotional eating and recognizing that body signals aren’t always black and white Practical cues to listen for—like cravings, random sneezing, and dry skin—and how to respond with compassion and wisdom Encouragement for everyone who feels “broken” or out of touch with what their body needs The importance of grace over perfection in both spiritual and physical health Dr. Brook also offers her “Body Signal Decoder” as a valuable resource for listeners who want to decode common body signals from a holistic perspective, covering physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual pillars.

In this episode, I sit down with neuroscientist, entrepreneur, and writer Anne-Laure Le Cunff for a conversation about curiosity, self-trust, and what it really means to live without needing certainty.We explore why the linear path so many of us are taught to follow often creates more pressure than clarity, and how adopting an experimental mindset can help you build resilience, confidence, and a deeper relationship with yourself. Anne-Laure shares insights from her book Tiny Experiments, including why having multiple identities supports mental health, how self-trust is built through curiosity rather than control, and why the obsession with finding a singular life purpose can actually keep us stuck.This episode is an invitation to loosen your grip on needing all the answers, tune into what feels alive, and give yourself permission to evolve—one experiment at a time.⭐️YOUR SUPPORT MATTERS: Please: Subscribe + leave 5⭐️Star rating +review HEREEnjoy! xRxFIND ME ON:️INSTAGRAMSUBSTACKYOUTUBEXTHREADSFIND ANNE-LAURE ON:IGWEB

Dr. Ryan McGeough is back! We're unpacking what happens when plans don't go as planned—and how that slowly erodes trust in ourselves, our follow-through, and even other people. Here's what we're covering: Why broken micro-commitments chip away at self-trust The difference between self-confidence (broad) and self-efficacy (skill-specific) Attribution theory: Do you blame yourself or circumstances when goals fail? How the US became a low-trust culture ("stranger danger" anyone?) Hannah Arendt on forgiveness (breaking the past) and promises (building the future) Ryan's morning hack: Headspace before scrolling My Instagram/Facebook sabbatical experiment The trust erosion cycle: You make plans → things don't go as planned → you stop trusting that planning matters → you break commitments to yourself → self-trust crumbles. The key insight: Some people fail at goals and think "bad goal, bad circumstances." Others internalize it: "I'm a piece of crap." Attribution theory explains why—and how to change the pattern. Ryan's trust lesson: That 6am lake running goal? Bad goal. Not because he can't accomplish things—because it didn't fit his reality. Now he knows which goals are longer shots and builds more structure around those. The Valentine's Day truth: Annual goal-setting together builds trust beyond reliability. When your partner actively supports what matters to you, it creates space to take risks and pursue things that excite you—even if they don't match your 10-year-old plans.

In this episode of The MADLOVE Your Life Show, Mary Dee sits down with Kristen Carder, leading ADHD educator, coach and host of the top-ranked I Have ADHD Podcast, to unpack what ADHD really looks like in adult life and why so many people have spent years believing they were broken, lazy or "a hot mess" instead of supported. Together, they explore how ADHD impacts self-trust, relationships, emotional regulation, and daily life, especially for high-functioning adults who appear capable on the outside but feel overwhelmed, ashamed, or exhausted on the inside. Kristen shares her trauma-informed, shame-free approach to understanding the ADHD brain and rebuilding a life that actually works with it, not against it. You'll hear: How ADHD often shows up as shame, self-doubt, and chronic overwhelm in adults Why a diagnosis can bring relief, grief, anger, and validation all at once The hidden ways ADHD affects friendships, romantic relationships, and family dynamics How to separate who you are from the coping strategies you developed to survive What rebuilding self-trust really looks like beyond mantras and motivation How emotional regulation becomes the foundation for joy, stability, and connection If you've tried every planner, productivity system, or self-discipline hack and still feel like something is wrong with you, this conversation will help you understand that you're not broken and that healing starts with compassion, education, and support.

This content was created in 2020. Beautiful soul, this week in the Rewrite Your Story series, Julie walks you step by step through how subconscious fears create energetic blockages and how to dissolve them by seeing your story through God's eyes. If you feel stuck, conflicted, or like you deeply want something but cannot move forward, this episode explains why. When two opposing beliefs exist at the same time, your energy cancels itself out. Rewriting your story restores momentum, clarity, and forward movement. This teaching focuses on releasing fear around intuition, angel communication, and self worth, and replacing those fears with truth, alignment, and divine permission. You are not blocked. You are holding two stories at once. This episode helps you choose the one that moves you forward.

Send us a textBetrayal trauma can be uniquely disorienting because it not only breaks trust—it can disrupt your sense of reality and self-trust. In this episode, we explore betrayal trauma as a nervous system injury that often leads to hypervigilance, rumination, shutdown, and relationship fear.

The episode ends with a short “Truth Anchor” practice to stabilise the present moment.In this episode, you'll learnWhat betrayal trauma is and why dependency makes it more traumaticHow betrayal can create “reality doubt” and self-questioningPolyvagal-informed patterns: mobilised protection vs shutdown after trust breaksCommon impacts on body, mind, and relationships (non-diagnostic)What helps: clarity, boundaries as safety structures, and rebuilding self-trustA short grounding practice to anchor reality and support regulationGrounding practice (2–3 minutes): “Truth Anchor”Name 3 present-moment factsUse thumb-to-fingertip pressure as a physical anchorChoose one truth sentence: “My feelings make sense,” “I'm allowed to protect myself,” etc.Name one small next stepRelated Episode:S9 E83 Ambiguous Grief with Stephanie SarazinCheck the website for the free resources offered for both those affected by trauma and those supporting them.What's next: Single-Incident Trauma: When ‘Before' and ‘After' SplitSupport the show

This one did that for me.In this episode, I sit down with Rebecca Schlosser, a trauma informed breathwork facilitator, yoga teacher, and free spirited midlifer joining me from Albuquerque, New Mexico. What unfolds is not a tidy how to conversation. It is real. Messy. Funny. Honest. And deeply embodied.We talk about what it means to be labeled too much and how that story shows up in midlife, relationships, creativity, money, and even how we decorate our homes. We explore how perfectionism freezes us, how comparison sneaks in quietly, and how breath becomes a way back to ourselves when life feels overwhelming or unfinished.Rebecca guides us through a gentle breathwork practice you can do as you listen, inviting you to meet the parts of yourself you usually try to push away. Not to fix them. Just to notice them. To breathe with them. To let them belong.This episode is about the paradox of slowing down in order to move forward. About trusting that the adventure is already happening, even when it looks imperfect or incomplete.In this full episode, we exploreThe idea of too muchness and why it might actually be your giftHow breathwork helps us meet insecurity instead of resisting itPerfectionism, comparison, and the nervous systemWhy small moments of presence can change everythingLearning to live breath by breath instead of striving for certaintyAs you listen, notice what you are being asked to meet rather than manage.Links and ResourcesFree 30-minute 1:1 discovery sessions: https://purple-firefly-12441.myflodesk.com/privatesessionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/rebeccahappybreaths/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rebecca.schlosser.5Send us a text Support the show✨ Join My TEDx Spokane Journey!

Many people think I'm a negotiation coach, but I'm really a practitioner of change working at the intersection of ancient Eastern philosophy and modern Western neuroscience.The Science: Quantum physicists like David Bohm and Zen masters in the mountains agree: Everything you think is "solid" (your desk, your body, your obstacles) is actually 99.9999999% empty space. Similarly, neuroscientists like Michael Gazzaniga have found that there is no singular, fixed "I" in your brain. You are a "Society of Mind," an aggregate of different parts negotiating conflicting and inherently empty impulses in real-time. The Philosophy: In Zen, this is encapsulated in a single character: Mu (無). It often gets translated as “empty,” but it can also reference a kind of boundlessness.The Intersection: When you realize matter is mostly space, the "solid" walls in your mind begin to soften. You realize you are not your self-talk, the very thoughts that lie at the root of professional stress. Instead, you are the boundless potential behind the action. What you'll learn in this episode: 02:15 – The Humble, Good News: Why you don't need a PhD or to become a monk to benefit from these fundamental truths04:30 – Your "Society of Mind": How the illusion of being a fixed, singular "I" is dismantled by both modern neuroscience and ancient wisdom. 06:50 – Tyranny of Self-Talk: Getting to the root of all professional stress when external circumstances don't seem to go your way. 07:45 – The Liberation of "Mu": What becomes possible when new perspectives enable new ways of thinking, feeling, and responding to circumstance beyond our control. 09:30 – The 3 Stages of Change: A roadmap through Dissolution (of negative self-talk), Mental Rehearsal, and Embodied Brave Action.11:00 – The Fortress of Trust: Why true trust comes from realizing your "self" is not a fragile, solid thing that can be broken.12:15 – Creator & Masterpiece: When tangible results like getting promoted and better paid are the byproduct of accessing a deeper truth of who you really are.
