What if a little bit of delusion might be exactly what you need to boost your confidence? As the kids these days say: “being delulu is the solulu!” Mary shares 4 mindset shifts– that some might consider “delusional”– but will do wonders for your confidence. You will learn how to... - lie to yourself in an empowering way lol - stop comparing yourself to others with one very simple mindset shift - break free from external validation and derive your confidence from within - balance self-trust with consistent, confident action-taking - release perfectionism and believe in yourself Especially for women, embracing a positive mindset is often the first rebellion against a world that profits off of our self-doubt. This isn't about toxic positivity or lying to yourself in a way that's avoidant. It's about consciously choosing beliefs rooted in self-love that remind you that you are enough. Reclaim your self-esteem by choosing self-talk that inspires action and fuels your dreams, regardless of personal insecurities or cultural expectations. Remember: Confidence doesn't always have to be logical. It just has to set you free. If you enjoyed this episode, share it with your friends to spread the gift of self-love!

The modern obsession with the “soft life”—a viral ethos of radical self-care and conflict-free living—masquerades as liberation while enacting a profound betrayal of human potential.

Rogue energy coming from ego based pride, fear of the unknown, and resistance to change is causing conflict and turbulence. Keep focusing on clearing out your own energetic field so that you're not responding with reactivity. Right now, we need brave vulnerability to try new ways of being. We need each other.

Hot take: Burnout isn't always about doing too much… sometimes, it's about doing too little of what actually matters. This week, we're diving into a little-known root cause of burnout that can change how we prevent it and recover from it: a lack of meaning, connection, and energizing.While the usual advice focuses on rest and reducing your workload, we're exploring the lesser-known side of burnout — the one that creeps in when your work lacks purpose, when you feel chronically disengaged, or when your lifestyle is missing excitement, hobbies, and emotional fulfillment.I'm all too familiar with burnout, so tune in to hear more about:Why burnout isn't always caused by stress or long hoursHow boreout and emotional disconnection lead to the same exhaustionHow misalignment between your values and daily life creates chronic fatigueActionable ways to reintroduce energy, creativity, meaning, and connection into your life (inside and outside of work)The need to take tech breaks, and why scheduling joy, hobbies, and human connection is non-negotiableIf you're feeling exhausted even after resting, stuck in a loop of apathy or wondering “what's the point?”, this one is for you.

In this powerful episode, Monica Wisdom shares a deeply personal reflection on the ways Black women have been conditioned to give our time, our energy, and our brilliance, often without receiving anything in return. From community service to corporate projects, we have been taught to equate value with self-sacrifice.

This is a conversation for every Black woman who has ever asked herself, "What did I do, and what did it get me?" It is also an invitation to stop surviving and begin your next chapter.

Happy Satiated Saturday! How do you feel about eating around others?I remember in my years of struggling with food how scary it would feel to eat with others. There was a constant inner dialogue about eating the "right" things in the "right" amount. I would find myself consistently undereating when going out and then overeating or binge eating when I would get home, as I felt starving and dysregulated. Eating around other people can be filled with anxiety, overwhelm, and fear, where you may find yourself engaging in food behaviors afterward. If you grew up constantly criticized for your food choices, how much you ate, and your appearance, it can feel terrifying to eat around others.In this week's Satiated Podcast episode, I chat about: Fear of Negative Evaluation (FNE)Why binge eating can increase after eating with others Somatic practices to try before, during, and after eating with othersYou can also read the transcript to this week's episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/terrifying-to-eat-with-friends-and-familyWith Compassion and Empathy, Stephanie Mara FoxSupport the showKeep in touch with Stephanie Mara:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_stephaniemara/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephaniemarafoxWebsite: https://www.stephaniemara.com/https://www.somaticeating.com/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephmara/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stephaniemarafoxContact: support@stephaniemara.comSupport the show:Become a supporter: https://www.buzzsprout.com/809987/supportMy favorite water filter: https://www.pureeffectfilters.com/#a_aid=somaticeatingReceive 15% off my fave protein powder with code STEPHANIEMARA at checkout here: https://www.equipfoods.com/STEPHANIEMARAUse my Amazon Affiliate link when shopping on Amazon: https://amzn.to/448IyPl Special thanks to Bendsound for the music in this episode. ...

So, get this... Timmerie shares that Pope Leo has had an excellent workout routine. His trainer had no idea this humble, smiley, modest guy showing up a few times a week was even a Cardinal, let alone about to become the Pope. This whole situation made Timmerie pause and ask: “Am I taking care of my body?” “Are you?” We’re Body and Soul. God didn’t just make us spiritual beings; He made us embodied souls. The Pillars of Self-Care (According to Timmerie) She breaks it down to four non-negotiables for basic human thriving, backed by science and super doable: Sleep Get eight hours a night. Hormones and brain function need it. Food = Fuel Start tracking protein. Your ideal body weight = your daily protein grams. E.g., goal weight: 150 lbs → eat 150g protein/day. This curbs hangry-snacking and helps you feel full, stable, and energized. Sunlight Aim for 15–30 mins of sun a day, even if it’s just working on your laptop outside. Sun helps with vitamin D, sleep cycles, stress, and mood. Exercise Pope Leo did it 2–3x/week (before becoming the Pope). You can too. Minimum goal: 30 mins, 3x/week. Ideal: Something daily, even if it’s just 15 minutes. Whether it's walking, dancing, lifting random Amazon gear you forgot you owned, or following some quirky YouTube routine; you don’t need a gym membership. You just need a plan. Spiritual Mic Drop from Timmerie: "God created our bodies. He knows what they need. So, let’s stop starving them of sleep, nutrition, light, and movement... and start treating them like the temples they are." And hey... next time you’re exercising, maybe offer it up for the Pope. He’s probably doing the same. Want more life-giving Catholic content? Check out Relevant Radio +. There's no cost, it's ad-free, and it's streaming everything from the Daily Mass to the Rosary.
