Tweetable Comments "Don't outsource your humanity." "People are human first and colleagues second." "Trust is a noun and a verb." "We can solve for respect, right? We can solve for trust." Intro Note: This transcript has been edited for clarity, readability, and length while preserving the core conversation and key insights from the episode. In this episode of b Cause Work Doesn't Have to Suck, Erin Hatzikostas talks with Minda Harts about workplace trust, the seven trust languages, leadership communication, rebuilding trust after mistakes, giving better feedback, psychological safety, and why leaders need to stop outsourcing their humanity. Why Trust Is the Real Workplace Issue Erin: I'm fascinated by your background because I'm like, "Oh yeah, she's all about trust. She's a speaker." And then I'm like, "Oh wait, she's a professor. Oh wait, she's a filmmaker. Oh wait, she wrote books." I'm curious about trust. It's not exactly the sexiest topic, but there must have been a moment or story that made you obsessed with it. Minda: The obsession actually started during COVID. I was living in New York City at the time, and I woke up around three o'clock in the morning. I kept hearing this voice saying, "The issue is always trust." I didn't think too much about it in the moment, but I wrote "trust languages" in my notes app. Over time, I kept coming back to it. The more I thought about all the writing I'd done over the years, I realized the real problem I was trying to solve was trust. In the workplace, when certain things happen, there's usually an expectation underneath that isn't being met. That erodes trust. But often, people don't even know they're doing it. So I started to see that it's not just a trust issue. It's also a communication issue. If the other person knew what you needed, could that get trust back on the tracks? In personal relationships, trust is a no-brainer. If I can't trust you, I don't know if this relationship is going to work. But in the workplace, we give people a pass for doing things that aren't trustworthy, and we never have conversations about it. The Seven Trust Languages Erin: I love the idea of trust languages because everybody thinks of love languages. You have seven trust languages. Where does it start? Do you need to understand the other person, or are these seven things everyone needs to do? Minda: My thesis is that we all have a primary, secondary, and tertiary trust language. There may be a time when we're speaking all of them, but if I'm a leader and you report to me, and I want to get the most productivity out of my entire team, not just my go-to people, then in our next one-on-one, I'm going to ask, "What does trust look like to you?" I want to make sure we have the most harmonious working relationship possible. I want to make sure you get the most out of being on this team. So what does trust look like to you? When someone answers that question, they'll usually tell you two or three of their trust languages without even knowing the labels. If I know feedback is important to you, or transparency is important to you, I can make note of that. Then when we're working together, I remember, "Erin values transparency. She values when I'm not being ambiguous. She values feedback that's meaningful and insightful." I tell people it's about the double E's. We're either enhancing trust or eroding trust. Erin: Always up or down. Minda: Exactly. We may not be able to solve everything at work, but we can solve for respect. We can solve for trust. The Question Every Leader Should Ask Erin: That question is so powerful. I used to lead a lot of employees, and I'm thinking, "Crap, if I could've simply said in one meeting, 'Trust is important. What does trust look like for you?'" Minda: I never had a manager ask me that. Not because they didn't want trust with me, but because we're all moving so fast in the workday that we forget there's a human on the other end. The data shows that if we have more trust, we're more productive and less anxious. I don't want to be the reason someone is spiraling through the day and not even know it. Erin: Imagine asking that in an interview when you're trying to attract the best talent. You think people aren't going to flock to that? They're going to be like, "Wow, I've never heard that before." Minda: Yes. And I write about that in the book. If you know acknowledgement is important to you, ask questions in the interview process that help you see whether that environment can provide it. Some people don't naturally say, "Great job. Thank you for delivering that project. I don't know where we'd be without it." That may not be the language they're most comfortable giving. But you may need that to survive and thrive at work. So tell people what's important to you. Advocate for yourself. We're not always going to work for the person who asks, "What does trust look like?" Sometimes you have to take the bull by the horns. Erin: And by sometimes, we mean most of the time. How to Ask for the Trust You Need Erin: Most of our listeners are leaders, but let's be honest, they're also employees. Everybody wants to be a great leader, but they also want to know how to be led better. Can you give an example of how someone might use the trust languages in an interview to understand what kind of manager they'd be working for? Minda: One trust language that is really important right now is sensitivity, which is about empathy and being mindful of our actions, tone, and behaviors. If I were interviewing, I might say, "Many people work together in the workplace, but they experience the workplace differently. If I reported to you and there was a natural disaster where I live, and I couldn't get into the office three or five days a week, how would we handle that?" That question tells me a lot about the manager. If they say, "Absolutely. Were you impacted by the fires? I know that must have been tough," that tells me something. But if they say, "Maybe you should move somewhere else because we need someone in the office five days a week," that tells me something too. You start to see how people humanize you, or whether they're robotic. Sensitivity, Security, and Psychological Safety Minda: Another example is what happens in meetings. We've all been in a situation where someone says a joke that isn't funny to everyone. Does the leader sweep it under the rug and let that person keep saying inappropriate things in team meetings? Or, if I have an issue, can I bring it to you without fear of retribution? A lot of trust is eroded in big team meetings. People speak over each other. People say things that are inappropriate, not necessarily because they woke up deciding to be inappropriate, but because they're used to talking any kind of way. That's where psychological safety comes in, which is connected to the trust language of security. Even if we have a difference of opinion, there should still be enough respect for me to have a good conversation with you. And if someone gives feedback, how do you receive it? Do you say, "I've never heard that before," and get defensive? Or do you say, "Let me consider what you're saying. Tell me more. Let me ask some questions." These behaviors keep showing up at work, and people don't always realize how detrimental they can be. Erin: Everybody's different. I'm thinking about two people who support my business. One is more on the sensitivity side. If something gets messed up, I know I need to say, "Dude, no big deal at all." And when something is done well, I need to say the thing that's already inside my head: "You crushed it." The other person is about as far from sensitive as you can imagine. For her, follow-through probably matters more. She's my operations person. It's more like, "Erin, you said you were going to send me three videos. Send me the three videos." Understanding those people is really important. How to Rebuild Trust After You Mess Up Erin: Rebuilding trust is always a big one. Let's say you screwed something up with a client, customer, or major project. What are some ways to rebuild trust that people may not think of? Minda: One trust language that matters here is demonstration. Do our actions align with our values? I can tell you all day that I'm going to make the tacos the way you expect them every time you come to the taco truck. But if every time you come, they're made differently, I'm not demonstrating that you can trust this place. When we make a mistake, we can acknowledge it. "You know what? We have a new cook. We're training them today. But we value you as a customer." Then we pay attention. "Oh, you like your cheese sprinkled this way? Now that I know that, I want to demonstrate that you can trust us. Next time you come, I'm going to check the bag before you leave." It's the show and the tell. A lot of times in life, we want to skip over the repair part. We say, "I said I'm sorry. Move on." But rebuilding trust requires demonstration over time. I believe if trust can be broken, it can be rebuilt, if it's not egregious. But it requires action. Trust is a noun and a verb. Erin: It takes patience. When we mess up, we want instant gratification. We want the wound to be healed right away. In a big corporation, it might be, "We'll give you a fee holiday," because we want something tangible and quick. But if you slow down and accept that it may be uncomfortable for a little while, then next week you can show up differently. You can go above and beyond. You can demonstrate the repair. Minda: Absolutely. And we also have to give people the opportunity to rebuild. If we've been burned in our personal or professional lives, sometimes we come into the next situation with our defenses up. You may be the best boss I've never had yet, but if I'm still holding onto hurts and broken promises from my last situation, I'm not going to get the best out of the situation with you, and you're not going to get the best from me. So we also have to be self-aware. Is this person really eroding trust, or am I bringing baggage from past experiences? Erin: Right. It's easy to tell stories like, "The boss is mad at me because I got a three-word email." But maybe the boss is running to another meeting and isn't actually worried about the mistake you made. What to Do When You Break Trust With Your Boss Erin: Let's say you mess something up with your boss. Maybe you botch a report, lose a customer, or mess up some technology. Beyond demonstrating that you can get it right next time, what else helps? Minda: Remember that your boss is human too. They have expectations you may not be aware of, especially if you're new to the team. You might say, "I know expectations can change depending on priorities, and I want to make sure we're aligned. I really enjoy working on your team, and I want our working relationship to be strong. What do you need from me to do your best work?" Success is not a solo sport. When you ask that kind of question, they may not say, "Transparency is important to me," or, "Follow-through is important to me," but they'll tell you something that reveals what matters. Then you can make a mental note. If you say you'll get something done by five and you can't, don't workplace ghost them. Follow up and say, "I know the deadline is approaching. Could I get an extension of one hour? I'll get it to you shortly." That keeps trust on the tracks. We create narratives in our heads that people will be upset with us, but most people just want honesty. We all bump up against deadlines. We all make mistakes. The issue is how we communicate it. The Leadership Mistake That Drives Minda Crazy Erin: What gets under your skin? What's your biggest leadership pet peeve? What's the simple thing leaders do wrong that you wish they'd change? Minda: I really value transparency, which is clarity and honesty. What gets under my skin is when leaders act like employees are stupid. We see the smoke coming out of the chimney. We hear the alarms going off. Then you come and tell us, "There's nothing to worry about. Nothing to see here." You may not know why the smoke is happening. You may not know why the alarms are going off. But acknowledge it. Say, "I know you've smelled the smoke. I've smelled it too. I don't know exactly what's causing it, but once I do, I'll let you know." That feels better and keeps trust intact more than pretending nothing happened. Don't pretend we didn't just do a reorganization. Don't pretend we didn't just lay off half the team. Let's humanize it. People are human first and colleagues second. Sometimes leaders think they can't be honest because they're privy to certain information. Then say that. "I don't have all the information right now, but I understand how this might make you feel. If you have questions, book time with me and let's talk it through." That feels much better than watching someone's work friend get laid off after ten years and then pretending nothing happened. Erin: I love that. Stop thinking your employees are stupid. The bar is low, isn't it? Minda: It's so low. Don't Outsource Your Humanity Erin: I saw a post where someone asked you a question about AI, and the gremlin that came out of you was, "Don't outsource your humanity." What caused that? Minda: Someone asked me about using AI in workplace communication. I think it's important to use the tools available to us. But what can happen is I put my thoughts into an agent, then I email you. Then you put your thoughts into an agent, and now you're emailing me back. At that point, we've taken ourselves out of it. It's just two agents talking to each other. There's no nuance. The tools don't understand the history of what happened in the meeting. They're getting it from one angle. So before you press send, just because the grammar is great and the message is direct, take another look. Think about the nuance. Think about the relationship. When this person finishes reading the email, how are they going to feel? What is the relationship going to feel like? If we're just two agents talking to each other, we may not be building trust. We may be eroding it. That's why I said, "Don't outsource your humanity." Erin: Preaching to the choir. I'm an authenticity girl. Sounding smart is now suspicious. Stop sounding smart. How to Give Tough Feedback Without Eroding Trust Erin: Can we talk about giving tough feedback? Whether it's an annual review or on the fly, I think the feedback sandwich is over. Maybe that worked when people didn't know they were being sandwiched, but now we all know. How do you give transparent feedback while still building trust? Minda: One thing I created is a game called The Trust Catalyst, which helps people practice these conversations so they don't erode trust. If we're doing a one-on-one or year-end review, I'm not going to start by launching into feedback. If you sit down or appear on Zoom, and the first thing I say is, "That report you did last week should have been done differently," you're immediately thinking, "I didn't know this was a problem." That sets the tone for the whole meeting. Think of the seven trust languages as tools. If you have a nail, you're not going to grab a wrench first. You're going to grab the right tool. Maybe you start with acknowledgement. Maybe you start with sensitivity because you know this person has had a rough year. When you do get to feedback, make sure it's meaningful and gives the person an opportunity to grow. It's not just what you say. It's how you say it. You can say, "We need to meet these deadlines more consistently. Is there something you need from me so we can make sure you hit this mark three weeks from now?" That sounds very different from making someone feel like they may not have a job by the end of the week. I always go back to the double E's. Is what I'm about to say going to enhance this relationship or erode it? Think about what you want the end of the conversation to look like. Do you want the person to feel down and out, waiting to turn off the camera? Or is there a way that when you see each other later, the relationship still feels intact? Growing up, my mom and dad could say the exact same thing to me, but when my dad said it, I wanted to spiral down the wall because his delivery was harsh. My mom could say the same thing, and I would receive it because I knew she was telling me in a way that helped me grow. That's something leaders and colleagues can do better. When Your Peer Becomes Your Employee Erin: Here's a sticky situation: your peer becomes your employee. You get promoted, and Joe, who used to be your sidekick and confidant, is now reporting to you. How do you build this new level of trust when the relationship changes? Minda: That happens a lot, and it can be sticky depending on which side of the friendship you're on. A big part of it is transparency. Talk about the elephant in the room. You might say, "I know we have a great working relationship, and now I'm in this leadership position. There may be times when I have to put certain priorities first, but I want you to know you can always come to me. I hope we can have two relationships: our working relationship and our friendship. There may be times when I have sensitive information I can't talk about like I could before, but I hope we can find that balance." I would much rather someone be transparent with me and create that sense of security than pretend I don't exist anymore or start acting weird. Nine times out of ten, if people would communicate instead of being conflict avoidant, we could have better relationships. We create narratives that it can't work, but why not talk about how it can work? Say, "If it ever feels like our friendship isn't there, or I'm acting differently because I'm in this role, tell me. I value that." We have to say what we mean without being mean. Erin: Exactly. Say the thing you're already going to say to your coach or your partner. Why not say it to the actual person? Minda: Yes. Because now I have that information. I may think everything is fine, but you may feel like, "We used to talk every day, and now we only talk once a month." You might assume I don't care as much now that I have this leadership title, when really, I'm just busy and hadn't thought about it. Again, many of these things are communication issues before they become trust issues. Green-Lighting Yourself Erin: You haven't just focused on trust. You're also a filmmaker, and part of that is telling stories about real-life situations, friendships, and the things that make life beautiful and complicated. So many people listening are trying to make work suck less, but they're also looking for inspiration to do things that feel uncomfortable or outlandish. Can you talk about the filmmaking side? Minda: I never intended to be an author. I fell into it. So I would encourage people to remember that you can learn new things. During the pandemic, I started taking screenwriting classes because I knew I wanted to take the stories I'd been telling and share them in another medium. I wanted to be a better storyteller, and I'm a big advocate of investing in yourself. Whether I win an Oscar, a Webby, or nothing, I wanted to enhance that skill. I also thought about the intellectual property I have and how I could tell those stories in different ways. I started taking classes about six years ago. At some point, I said, "I'm not going to wait for the green light from somebody else. I'm going to green light myself." So I started making short films. I kept taking coursework, reading books, finding my crew on social media, and asking people around. Now I'm four short films in, and they've been in many festivals. It feels good to uncover a new area of my life that I'm good at. Maybe I'll win Oscars in the future. Maybe I won't. But I'm enjoying this part of my life because it's another way to get stories heard by people who may never read my books. Erin: You said something so simple: "I took a class." So many times we act like we don't even know where to start. But there's a class for everything. Minda: Everything. Erin: Just take the class. Get curious. Minda: I'll tell you and your listeners a secret. Since I was a teenager, I've always wanted to take piano lessons. Every year, I'd put it on the vision board: "Take piano lessons." And I never did. But later today, I'm taking my first piano lesson. I may end up in a recital with preschoolers, but this is for me. Sometimes we just have to do things for us. Minda's "Buck That" Story Erin: We always ask people for their "buck that" story. It's a time when you bucked the norm, went against the grain, and something good happened as a result. Do you have one? Minda: Yes. It's the intersection where I sit now. I was in corporate America for 15 years, and in 2015, I started this dinosaur thing called a blog. I was frustrated about the workplace I was in. There was no trust anywhere. The blog was a way for me to talk about what I was experiencing, not from a "woe is me" place, but from a place of, "If anybody else is feeling this way, here are the tips I wish I had used or that I'm working through." Every Monday, I put out a memo. Eventually, those memos became my first bestselling book, The Memo. I had no idea that would happen. Now I'm on book four and making films. So sow those seeds. Take the step. I left a very stable job, and I was terrified. I'm type A. I love stability because I didn't have a lot of it growing up. I thought, "Give me the gold watch. I'm here forever." Taking that leap, betting on myself, and bucking the system showed me that success isn't just one way. I think I'm a constant "buck that" girl now. That's just how I live. Erin: Once you buck it once and it works out, that's the end of the story. That's why we love to share these stories for people who are holding themselves back. One Last Tip to Make Work Suck Less Erin: What's your one last tip to make work suck less? Minda: Ask yourself, "What do I want out of work?" Sometimes we do things at work to make work work for everybody else, but we never consider what it needs to look like for us. Once you understand what you need, you can ask for it more clearly. Not what the person next to you wants. Not what someone on Microsoft Teams wants. What is really going to make you say, "This was worth the ride"? We should remember that we are good enough to deserve the best workplace possible.

What does it take to stop living the life you were handed and start building the one you actually want? In this episode of Sense of Self, Dr. Gowri Aragam sits down with Erin Gums, certified coach, breath work guide, and founder of Tap Into Your Wellspring, for one of the most honest, courageous conversations this show has ever hosted. Erin grew up in Oakland, California, the child of a Black father with deep Bay Area roots and a Chamorro mother from the Northern Mariana Islands. She was sensitive, perceptive, and wired for connection in a world that didn't always know what to do with that. What followed was a years-long journey through family fracture, identity searching, compulsive achievement, and the slow, hard work of learning to trust herself. This episode explores what it means to carry silence, to perform comfort around people who hurt you, and to finally choose your own safety, even when it costs you everything familiar. Erin's story is not easy, but it is deeply human. And for anyone who has ever felt caught between the family they came from and the person they're becoming, it will feel like being seen.

Conversations host Dan Drake and Wendy Conquest explore with Jeanne Vattuone and Tim Stein on their new workbook 'Finding the Way Through'. It is a comprehensive, 15+ year-in-the-making resource for sex and pornography addiction recovery. What sets this workbook apart is its integration of rigorous sobriety work with a consistent focus on partner sensitivity, challenging the traditional “stay on your side of the street” model. The conversation unpacks how the book guides readers through the full arc of recovery, from denial and early sobriety to emotional growth, relational repair, and long-term healing. Each chapter blends education, practical exercises, real-life addict stories, and dedicated partner sensitivity sections that help bridge the empathy gap between addicts and betrayed partners. This Conversations episode offers a powerful look at a shifting paradigm in recovery, one that centers empathy, inclusion, and mutual understanding from day one. Subscribe today!

As You Wish Talk Radio with James Gilliland Contact, Consciousness, and Self-Mastery: James Gilliland and Peter Slattery on Disclosure, Discernment, and the New Earth James Gilliland Opens with ECETI Announcements In this episode of As You Wish Talk Radio, host James Gilliland opens with housekeeping announcements for upcoming events at the ranch, including a Retreat to Silence with Jesse, a Self-Mastery Ambassador Training with James and Peter, and a remote viewing workshop with guest Peter Slattery. James describes the ranch as a place where silence is never truly silent because, in his view, many masters and beings are present there. He then introduces Peter as a longtime contactee, author, documentary creator, and “brother from another mother.” Peter Slattery on Contact and Activity in Australia Peter joins from Australia and discusses preparations for his upcoming workshops and travel to the United States. He and James describe intense recent sky activity, including fleets of ships, objects around the space station, activity near Starlink, and craft seen with the naked eye. Both men say that contact activity has increased dramatically, and Peter suggests that the multidimensional nature of the phenomenon is becoming harder to ignore. James says activity at the ranch has become so frequent that guests often see multiple objects in the sky at once. Disclosure, Controlled Narratives, and Spiritual Censorship James and Peter then turn to what they see as problems inside the UFO and disclosure communities. James argues that if major disclosure platforms were truly interested in contact, consciousness, and the multidimensional world, they would pay closer attention to long-term contact sites like ECETI and Peter's work. Instead, he says authentic spiritual contact is censored, attacked, or pushed aside. Both men describe what they see as a controlled narrative that avoids the spiritual side of contact and suppresses people who bring evidence, direct experience, and higher-dimensional teachings. Attacks, Discernment, and Integrity A major theme of the episode is the personal and spiritual pressure James and Peter say they and others in the field have experienced. They discuss online attacks, hacking, character assassination, black magic, demonic influence, reptilian or lower-astral interference, and the use of fear, rage, and division to destabilize people. James says that when critics cannot refute evidence of contact, they often attack a person's character instead. Peter emphasizes the importance of energetic clearing, discernment, and self-mastery so people do not unknowingly carry or amplify negative influences. The Divine Feminine, Yeshua, and Ancient Teachings James and Peter also discuss the divine feminine, Mary Magdalene, Mother Mary, Yeshua, the Ethiopian Bible, ancient contact, and suppressed spiritual history. Peter connects the rise of the divine feminine to a correction of long-standing masculine imbalance, while James argues that Yeshua's deeper teachings were about empowering individuals to make their own direct connection with God or Source. They also discuss Mary Magdalene as a highly trained spiritual figure rather than the diminished figure they believe religious tradition later portrayed her to be. Self-Mastery, Clearings, and Creating Heaven on Earth The conversation repeatedly returns to self-mastery and personal responsibility. James says people should ask whether their actions are helping create heaven on earth or contributing to competition, slander, division, and victim patterns. Peter recommends regular energetic clearings and shielding practices, including visualizing an orb of light and connecting with the heart. They both stress that clearing is important, but not a substitute for inner work. Peter describes clearings as necessary, but also says people must look at their own wounds, ego, rage, and projections if they want lasting transformation. Children, Sensitivity, and Safe Spiritual Space James and Peter discuss children who are sensitive, telepathic, spiritually open, or already experiencing contact. Peter cautions that children should not be pushed into skywatching or contact work without proper protection, prayer, and clearing. James agrees that parents should create safe, clear environments and listen to children rather than dismissing their experiences. He recalls passing a talking stick around a fire circle with children and being impressed by their answers about healing the Earth, saying many parents realized they needed to listen more deeply to their children. Workshops, Remote Viewing, and the Closing Message Near the end, James and Peter return to the upcoming workshops. Peter says his remote viewing class will cover the Stargate method, multidimensional communication, connecting with guides, the Merkaba, rainbow body work, and galactic contact. James adds that he will share new information about ancient civilizations that came before the Anunnaki and the beings connected to them. The episode closes with James asking for support for the ranch and retreat work, while both men encourage listeners to remain kind, open-hearted, discerning, and committed to their own direct spiritual connection.

Show Notes What if you could catch a plumbing leak before it became a five-figure repair? In this episode of Be a Smarter Homeowner, Beth Dodson talks with Ian Greene about why leak detection is one of the smartest upgrades a homeowner can make. They break down how flow-based leak detection works, why hidden leaks are so destructive, and how smart systems can shut water off automatically before a small issue becomes a major disaster.  Beth also shares her own experience with water damage and why even a "small" leak can create months of disruption, unexpected out-of-pocket costs, and a long repair process. Ian explains why toilets, hidden pipe failures, freezing conditions, critters, and faulty fittings are among the biggest leak risks homeowners face. He also shares how FlowLogic differs from simpler devices by detecting extremely low flow rates, offering battery backup, app alerts, and user-controlled settings that help prevent nuisance shutoffs.  The conversation also explores the insurance angle: how water damage claims can be costly, why some insurers now require leak detection devices for certain homes, and how discounts may help offset installation costs over time. Beyond protecting your home, Beth and Ian discuss the peace of mind, water savings, and environmental benefits that come with catching leaks early.  If you have ever worried about what's happening behind your walls, under your floors, or while you're away from home, this episode is a practical reminder that prevention is far easier than restoration.  Sound bites  "Recognize when a leak has been going on too long."

What happens when food elimination starts making things worse?You remove the obvious triggers. You follow the labs and the genetics. The plan becomes more precise.Yet… the client becomes more reactive, the range of tolerated foods narrows, and overall resilience declines.This is not a lack of effort. It is a pattern.Food sensitivity reflects the state of the system, not just the food. When stress, blood sugar instability, microbiome disruption, or inflammation are present, even a well-designed approach can backfire.Layer genetics on top without context, and each variant becomes a reason for further restriction.At that point, the question is no longer what to remove. It is whether the system can tolerate anything at all.In this episode, Dr. Ritamarie explains why this occurs and how to shift from progressive elimination to restoring resilience.What's Inside This Episode?When food elimination increases reactivityWhy “safe foods” stop being toleratedAllergy vs intolerance vs sensitivity and why it mattersWhy food reactions reflect system stressHow genetics gets misapplied as restrictionThe hidden cost of over-restrictionThe role of cortisol in worsening sensitivityThe question to ask before removing another foodHow to rebuild resilience and expand the dietResources and Links:Download the full transcript here.Download our FREE Guide to Using Genetic Testing to Optimize Patient OutcomesAccess the Genetic Pathway Mapping Workshop Replay to learn a clinical framework for identifying genetic patterns and applying targeted epigenetic strategies.

In this eye-opening episode, Karen Roberts sits down with ADHD business strategist, coach, and host of the ADHD-ish Podcast, Diann Wingert, to explore why so many entrepreneurs struggle—not because they lack talent, but because they're trying to build businesses using systems that were never designed for the way their brains work.

Dr. Jackie Roese Kay Daigle In this second episode of this series, Dr. Jackie Roese explains the problem with the church's sex narrative. Don't miss this important conversation as she talks with Dr. Kay Daigle about how making men's and women's relationships in the church all about sex is a mistake and why it matters.

I'm Kay Daigle of Beyond Ordinary Women Ministries. I'd like to welcome you to the second in our series on It's Time for a RelationSHIFT dealing with men and women working together in the church. My guest is Dr. Jackie Roese. Jackie is the Founder and President of The Marcella Project. And you can read more about her and her ministry online on our website at BeyondOrdinaryWomen.org. And I hope you will take advantage of that so that you can even contact Jackie if you need to. Jackie, in our first video, we talked about the fact that the situation between men and women and the way that we work together in the church is more than just the biblical and theological beliefs that we have. In this video, we're going to talk about the fact that there's more involved than just a sex narrative. And I wanted to tell you that not too long ago, a friend highly praised a sermon that she had just heard, so I went online to hear the sermon. It was about men and women together. And I think in light of all of the various things, the sermon focused on how to avoid any kind of sexual contact with anyone of the other sex. But I was pretty horrified because really if you followed what it said, pretty much you wouldn't talk to many men. And he seemed to suggest he told a story about a pastor who was having a book signing and whose son said, why are you so rude to the women? He said, “Oh, they'll whisper their hotel room number in your ear. They'll give you their key.” It seemed to be perfectly fine, according to the sermon, to just be rude to women to avoid them tempting you sexually. So with that background of my horror, really, at thinking about how does somebody even do this in this age with work and things like that, I don't even think it's a practical solution. But even if it were, there's something wrong with treating people poorly just because you think they're a threat. So I want to hear what you had to say. Jackie >> Yeah. So, wow, there's a lot there. First, I would say not only is it wrong because it's not biblical. Kay >> Oh, yeah. Jackie >> So, and this person that you were listening to, they're still teaching this danger romance narrative as the only narrative we see in Scripture. And it's actually not the largest narrative we see. It's not the emphasis of the New Testament. And so I want to talk a little about that. Before I do, let me just say with the #MeToo #ChurchToo movement, there has been a lot of sexual exploitation. And I am very aware and want to be very sensitive to the fact that when there is sexual failure in the church or in the home, it's devastating. And I want to be sensitive to that because people have experienced that. It has blown up their church when their pastor has been inappropriate with a woman or...

What changes when we lead with trauma sensitivity? Trauma is far more common than most realize, affecting at least 70% of people, and its hidden residue frequently drives workplace conflict through survival mechanisms like freezing or fawning. Through trauma sensitivity, leaders can look past superficial personality clashes, avoid replicating past injuries, and proactively cultivate structural safety where everyone can safely show up and do their best work. On this episode of Just One Q, Dominique chats with workplace human rights lawyer, consultant, and author Adriana Leigh about her book, Trauma Sensitivity at Work. They break down how common stress responses manifest in everyday team dynamics, differentiate a checkbox “informed” approach from genuine sensitivity, and discuss practical strategies like “meeting hygiene”. Learn how leaders can prioritize emotional regulation to build more humane, supportive, and highly effective workplace cultures.

Today's world is conditioned toward offence. Sensitivity has increased while resilience has decreased. Individuals are trained to react, to interpret words personally, and to elevate emotional response above objective truth. Offence is now expected, defended, and often celebrated. Scripture presents the opposite model. Have you recently decided to follow Jesus?

What if your sensitivity wasn't a weakness to overcome, but a gift to embrace? Carrie chats with emotional intelligence coach Joanna Brewster for a deeply honest conversation about courage, self-awareness, and learning to trust yourself. Joanna shares her journey from a highly sensitive child who learned to suppress her feelings, to a woman who found the courage to leave an unhealthy marriage and rebuild her life. Along the way, she discovered the power of emotional intelligence—not just as a professional tool, but as a pathway back to herself. Carrie and Joanna explore how our thoughts, feelings, and actions shape our lives, why small courageous steps matter, and how learning to listen to our bodies can help us navigate fear, overwhelm, and change.

In this soulful and expansive episode, Anna speaks with Noga Shefi — musician, healer, and guide for sensitive creatives — about what it means to heal, create, and live from a regulated, intuitive, embodied place.Noga's personal story is profound. After being diagnosed with Crohn's disease in 2010 and told she'd be suffering for life, she embarked on a deep healing journey that took her far beyond conventional medicine. From gut-brain healing to meditation retreats, from subtle energy work to dreamwork, from nervous system regulation to spiritual study — Noga followed her sensitivity inward and found a path to healing.Now she brings that wisdom to other creatives and sensitives who want to grow, create, and serve without burning out.In this episode, we explore:• What it's like to balance being a musician and a healer• How creativity feeds healing — and how healing expands creativity• The double-edged sword of being a sensitive creative (and how Noga navigates her own sensitivity)• Why sensitivity is not a liability, but an intelligence• How to recognize the early signs of emotional or nervous system overwhelm• The tools Noga uses daily to regulate, reset, and ground• The healing modalities that supported her Crohn's remission — and that she now shares with clients• What it means to live from intuition rather than fear• Her favorite practices for supporting sensitive creatives in their path of transformationThis is a grounding, nourishing, deeply validating conversation for anyone who identifies as sensitive, intuitive, creative, or easily overwhelmed — and who wants to learn to work with their sensitivity instead of against it.

Find out your unique sensitivity profile and your current stress levels. Take the HSP Stress Test here: https://trueinnerfreedom.com/hsp-stress-test/  What if the real problem isn't your sensitivity—but the culture you've been trying to fit into? If you've ever felt "too sensitive," misunderstood, or out of place in a fast-paced, tough-minded world, this episode will hit home. Many highly sensitive people end up questioning themselves—not because something is wrong with them, but because they've been shaped by environments that don't value depth, emotional awareness, or thoughtful pacing. This episode explores how that disconnect forms—and why it keeps you stuck seeking validation outside yourself. Understand why your sensitivity feels like a weakness in some environments—and why that belief isn't actually true Learn what your mind does when you don't feel seen or valued, and how it creates self-doubt and dependence on others Discover the powerful internal shift that allows you to feel grounded, confident, and at peace—no matter the culture you're in Press play now to stop outsourcing your self-worth and start experiencing the freedom of fully owning who you are.   Todd Smith, founder of True Inner Freedom Dreaming of a stress-free, balanced life?

Hosts: Ed Jones (Owner – Nutrition World) & Clint Powell A variety of topics all related to healthy living Presented by: Nutrition World www.nutritionw.com Broadcasting from the Nooga Dentistry Studio www.noogadentistry.com Production of: Whitfield Media Group www.vitalhealthradio.com Title: Peptides, LifeWave Patches, Spore Based Probiotics, and the Microbiome  [00:00:00] Intro & Health News Ed notes Target will remove artificial colors from all cereals within two months. Promotion of Chattanooga Fitness / Bodybuilding event on July 11 featuring bodybuilding legend Lee Haney; Ed training for his 4th year of competition at nearly age 69. Ed introduces a new olive oil at Nutrition World: Firma Extra Virgin Olive Oil (Tanzania). Comparison with Life Extension olive oil: Tested very high in anti-inflammatory polyphenols. New Tanzanian oil is about $10 cheaper while comparable in health benefits. Reminder of chronic inflammation as a root of many diseases. [00:04:00] Peptides, Educational Resources & Holistic Navigator Mention of peptide expert Noel Lawson, recently on the show. Brief explanation: peptides as specific amino acid chains that can influence healing, sexual function, fat loss, sleep, etc. Ed promotes his ebooks at TheHolisticNavigator.com, including: Immune system (prevention + “what to do when you feel sick now”). Oxalates and joint/muscle pain & stiffness. Sleep, oral hygiene, and how to use AI for health/fitness and weight loss. Clint mentions a large back catalog of podcasts on topics like leaky gut, bone health, pet health, brain fog, etc. [00:06:13] Segment Transition to LifeWave Patches Ed previews two guests for the day: Myra from LifeWave patches. Mary from Just Thrive (spore-based probiotics). [00:13:10] LifeWave Light-Activated Patches – Concept & Mechanism (Myra) Ed introduces Myra from LifeWave Key concepts explained: Patches are non-transdermal (no drugs/nutrients enter the body). They reflect the body's own low-level infrared light back into the body. Inside the patch is a proprietary lattice of amino acids, salts, sugars, and water. This reflected light is tuned (patented wavelengths) to elevate certain peptides or affect specific systems. Elevates GHK-Cu (copper peptide), which is associated with “master cells” (stem-cell–like function) that can contribute to repair of various tissues. LifeWave has about 10 different patches, including: X39: flagship patch for overall regeneration, wound healing, energy, mental clarity, sleep. X49: supports performance, recovery, and bone density Placement & wear-time: Common points: back of neck at C7 or below the navel, often aligned with acupuncture points used in studies. For pain, you can place patches directly around the painful area (e.g., Myra using several patches around a sore knee). Typical protocol: 12 hours on, 12 hours off to avoid attenuation (body getting “used to” constant stimulation). Hydration and electrolytes (e.g., Celtic sea salt) recommended to support electrical signaling. Duration to notice effects: Most people notice differences within 30–90 days. General rule of thumb: 1 month of consistent use for every decade of age (e.g., ~5–6 months at age 50–60). [00:29:37] LifeWave Events, Website & Research Myra: LifeWave patches are intended to help bring the body back toward homeostasis, with the body doing the actual work. Ed notes there is published research on the patches (not just anecdote). Upcoming in-person event: LifeWave info session at Nutrition World Wellness Corner, June 27th , 10:00 am Resources: Website: WhyTheLight.com Myra's contact: 423-362-7227 for questions. [00:34:37] Just Thrive Probiotics (Mary) Introduces Mary from Just Thrive, a highly vetted brand at Nutrition World. Introduces key concept: spore-based probiotics, which behave differently than standard probiotics. Spore-based probiotics: bacteria with a natural protective shell (spore coat). This shell allows them to survive stomach acid and pH changes through the GI tract. Most conventional probiotics are fragile and often do not survive to the intestines, even with enteric coatings. Just Thrive's spore-based strains show 100% survivability to the intestines in clinical testing—everything on the label reaches the gut. High-level explanation of how Just Thrive works: If harmful or overgrown species are present, spores “sit next to” them and produce compounds to push them down. If beneficial species are low, spores produce “superfood-like” compounds to feed and boost them. Balancer of the microbiome, rather than just adding random strains. Leaky gut linkage: An imbalanced microbiome is a key root cause of leaky gut. Glyphosate (Roundup) acts like an antibiotic in the microbiome, driving dysbiosis and leaky gut. Antibiotics & repopulation: One antibiotic round can wipe out ~90% of gut bacteria. Without support, it can take 1 month to 2 years to rebuild from the remaining 10%. A clinical study: 1 capsule/day of Just Thrive led to a 10–100x increase in beneficial bacteria in 28 days, dramatically speeding recovery. Use with colonoscopy preps: Ed suggests starting spores before and continuing after aggressive gut-cleansing procedures to re-establish balance. Sensitivity / die-off: Some users may experience transient discomfort (gas, bloating, die-off). Strategy: start with ¼ to ½ capsule, even every other day, and titrate up to a full capsule as tolerated.   [00:48:12] Immune System, IBS, and “Gut as Central Axis” 70–90% of the immune system is in or around the gut; thus: A balanced microbiome is a foundation for immune health. Just Thrive data suggest benefits for IBS-like symptoms and immune dysfunction Mary uses an analogy: The digestive tract runs down the middle of the body and influences everything—so microbiome balance is a core foundation for overall health. Ed reinforces that you cannot be healthy with chronic leaky gut, and spores occupy a unique role that other probiotic forms cannot fill. Website: JustThriveHealth.com for more information.   [00:55:59] Iron, Coffee/Tea, and Gout Ed shares research summarized by Dr. Michael Greger (NutritionFacts.org) on iron absorption and coffee/tea: A cup of coffee with a hamburger reduced iron absorption by ~39%. Tea reduced iron absorption by ~64%. Taking vitamin C with the meal can counteract the inhibitory effect on iron absorption. Potential therapeutic angle for gout: Some data suggest lowering iron via coffee consumption reduced gout attacks. In one report, gout attacks markedly diminished in every participant, from complete remission to major reduction, with no widespread anemia. Ed recommends: Testing iron and ferritin (e.g., via Be Well Labs / BeginWithLabs.com). Considering strategic use of coffee/tea and vitamin C depending on whether someone's iron is too high or too low.  The post Radio Show / Podcast – May 24, 2026 first appeared on Vital Health Radio.

Scared to eat before you go out in case you sh*t your pants?If you've suddenly started reacting to healthy foods like eggs, dairy, garlic, broccoli, or onions with bloating, gas, brain fog, diarrhea, or constipation — you are not crazy, and it's not just aging.In this episode, we're unpacking why so many women in perimenopause and midlife develop food sensitivities seemingly overnight, and why simply cutting out more and more foods is not the answer.We dive into the powerful connection between hormonal changes, stress, sleep, gut motility, and microbiome imbalance — and how they can create the perfect environment for issues like SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth) and large intestine dysbiosis to develop.You'll learn:• How estrogen and progesterone changes impact digestion and the gut microbiome• Why chronic constipation can trigger food reactions and bloating• The different types of SIBO (hydrogen, methane, and hydrogen sulfide) and how each one feels different• Why you may feel like you're reacting to “everything” you eat• The truth about low FODMAP diets — and why they're not meant to be forever• The difference between SIBO and large intestine dysbiosis• Why aggressive gut “kill protocols” often backfire• A gentler, more sustainable approach to healing your gut without surviving on rice and chicken.If you're tired of fearing food, constantly bloated, or feeling dismissed when your symptoms don't make sense, this episode will help you understand what may really be happening in your gut — and what steps you can take to start healing.Book your IBS discovery call today here.Follow me mindful_vitality#perimenopause #menopause #bloating #sibo #foodsensitivities #heartburn #brainfog #womenshealth #hormonehealth #hrt #ibs #gerd #fatigue #nutrientdeficiencies #hairloss #glutenfree #lowfodmap

In this episode I sit down with Joey Remenyi, a vestibular audiologist, neuroplasticity therapist, and author of Sensing Ground and Rock Steady. Joey trained clinically at one of Australia's top vestibular clinics before building her own practice helping people with chronic and persistent sensory symptoms using neuroplasticity and somatic approaches.We talk about what is actually happening in the nervous system when highly sensitive people experience sensory overwhelm. Joey explains the pathway between the amygdala, insula, and prefrontal cortex, and how strengthening that connection can help people move from fear-driven reactivity to accurate pattern recognition. She breaks down how sound enters and travels through the body, and why the danger response can get stuck in a loop that cognitive approaches alone struggle to resolve.I share some of my own experience with hyperacusis and misophonia, and Joey offers her clinical perspective on what is happening in the auditory system and why fear of sound can become self-reinforcing. We discuss what the body might be trying to communicate through persistent sensory symptoms, and how learning to listen to those signals rather than fighting them can be part of the healing process.The conversation also explores psychological erasure, the experience of growing up with your inner reality dismissed or invalidated, and the distinction Joey draws between erasure that comes from the outside world and self-erasure, where we internalise that dismissal and stop listening to ourselves. Joey shares parts of her own story and how she developed self-trust through difficult early experiences.We get into the question of neurodivergent labels and diagnosis, and whether they help or hinder the process of coming home to yourself. Joey has a perspective on this that not everyone will share, and I think hearing it is valuable precisely because it invites us to examine our own relationship to the labels we carry.If you live with chronic sensory symptoms, identify as highly sensitive or neurodivergent, or are simply curious about the relationship between your body and your sense of self, I hope this conversation will bring you new information or insights! Joey's Website: https://www.seekingbalance.com.au/Eggshell Therapy and Coaching: eggshelltherapy.com/Imi Lo:  imiloimilo.comSister Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3Zcl8ZUsu4AePugDoWtXcgFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/eggshelltransformationsNewsletters: https://eepurl.com/bykHRzDisclaimers: https://www.eggshelltherapy.com/disclaimers  Trigger Warning: This episode may cover sensitive topics including but not limited to suicide, abuse, violence, severe mental illnesses, relationship challenges, sex, drugs, alcohol addiction, psychedelics, and the use of plant medicines.

What does it mean to be a "gentle rebel" — and how does creativity fit in? In this episode, I talk with Andy Mort of The Haven community about rebellion as openness rather than aggression, why highly sensitive people often need space and safety to access their creative voice, and how creativity is less about the finished product and more about the ongoing process of becoming yourself. We get into the difference between self-soothing and self-expression, the role of constraints in creative work, why unsolicited criticism rarely helps, and how to take a small, honest first step toward reconnecting with what moves you. If you've ever felt like the "should" of creativity has crowded out the joy of it, this one's for you.

Dr. Jay Belsky joins the podcast to explore one of the most important and often misunderstood truths in parenting: the same environment does not affect every child the same way. Drawing from decades of research on nature and nurture, this conversation looks at how biology and experience work together to shape development, and why some kids are more sensitive to their environments while others are more resilient.   Together, we explore:   Why some children are more affected by parenting, stress, and environment than others. The difference between sensitivity and susceptibility, and why it matters for long-term development. What "developmental plasticity" is and how it shapes the way kids respond to their experiences. Why resilience is not always a good thing and sensitivity is not always a problem. How nature and nurture work together to shape each child in unique ways. The one thing within a parent's control that can help protect children from adversity. How to shift from trying to control outcomes to supporting the child you have. The difference between "carpenter" parenting and "gardener" parenting, and why it changes everything. How to set realistic expectations for yourself and your child without lowering the bar.   This conversation offers a powerful reframe for parents who feel confused, overwhelmed, or frustrated when what works for one child doesn't work for another. It is about understanding your child as an individual, letting go of the pressure to get it exactly right, and focusing on what truly supports healthy development over time.     LEARN MORE ABOUT MY GUEST:

Why do some people feel constantly overwhelmed, overstimulated, emotionally exhausted, or unable to slow their thoughts down? In this episode of the Starter Girlz Podcast, Jennifer Loehding sits down with neurodivergent occupational therapist Nikki Smit for a powerful conversation about overthinking, stress, emotional overwhelm, nervous system regulation, and what it really feels like to move through life with a mind that never fully slows down. For years, Nikki felt different. She experienced the world intensely, processed emotions deeply, and constantly tried to understand why her brain worked differently than everyone around her. But instead of continuing to fight those experiences, she began learning how to work with them—and eventually turned that understanding into her life's work. This conversation explores the hidden exhaustion many high-functioning people carry, the emotional weight of constantly analyzing everything, and why sensitivity is often misunderstood in today's fast-moving world. From nervous system regulation and emotional awareness to overstimulation, recovery, and self-understanding, Nikki shares a grounded and compassionate perspective on what it means to stop viewing yourself as broken—and start understanding how your mind and body actually work.

What if your sensitivity was never the problem? In this podcast episode I sit down with Dr. Steve Chee to explore sensitivity, intuition, Internal Family Systems, and what becomes possible when we stop pathologizing the parts of ourselves we've been taught are “too much.” Together, we unpack the experience of being a highly sensitive person and the power of finally naming it. Dr. Steve shares insights on how sensitivity often develops within the relational field—how we learn to sense, adapt, perform, protect, and belong in response to the emotional environments around us. We explore the important distinction between sensitivity and intuition, and how many people bury the gift of sensitivity because of family systems, cultural beliefs, or experiences of being misunderstood. In this episode, we discuss: - What it means to be a highly sensitive person—and the relief of naming it - Sensitivity and the relational field - The difference between sensitivity and intuition - How family and cultural messages can bury sensitivity as a gift - Feeling like you are “too much” for others - Masking, performing, and adapting to belong - Protective parts that temper emotion (including my own “Ice Queen” part) - The gifts hidden beneath burdens and survival strategies - What happens when your “too muchness” isn't actually too much - Field awareness and relational sensitivity - Dr. Steve's upcoming book, The Field-Aware Soul Dr. Steve offers such a compassionate and paradigm-shifting perspective for sensitives, mystics, helpers, and anyone whose gifts bent toward survival before they had the chance to fully emerge. This conversation is an invitation to wonder: What if your sensitivity isn't something to fix—but something to understand, honor, and reclaim? About Dr. Steve Chee Dr. Steve Chee is an Integrative East–West Physician and Certified IFS Therapist, most recently the creator of the IFS Institute's Continuity Program, The Sacred Nervous System, and originator of The Field-Aware Soul Ecology—a relational framework for people whose sensitivity arrived early and became recruited into caretaking, performing, and belonging at a cost. His work centers around a powerful question: What if field sensitivity isn't a wound to heal, but a relational capacity waiting to be met? He works with sensitives, mystics, and those who were told they were “too much”—helping people reclaim gifts that once bent toward survival and transform them into deeper connection, authenticity, and belonging.

Send us Fan MailIf your body seems to “flip a switch” after ovulation, you're not imagining it and you're not alone. Speaking of Women's Health Podcast host Dr. Holly Thacker talks through a lesser-known but very real problem: progesterone allergy and progesterone intolerance, often grouped under progestogen hypersensitivity. The most important clue is timing, with symptoms that reliably worsen in the luteal phase when progesterone rises and then ease when your period starts and hormones fall.Dr. Thacker walks through what progesterone is supposed to do in women's health and why it can still trigger trouble for some people, whether it's your own endogenous progesterone or synthetic progestins in hormonal birth control, fertility treatment, IUDs, or menopausal hormone therapy. She covers the full range of symptoms, from cyclical hives, rashes, itching, swelling, and asthma-like breathing issues to mood changes, anxiety, migraines, breast tenderness, bloating and heartburn. We also explain the difference between a true allergy that can be dangerous and an intolerance that can feel awful but may respond to smarter dosing, timing and formulation choices.Diet culture, you've met your scientific match.Debunking wellness trends, fitness fads, and diet culture with science.

Sensitivity gets a bad reputation. We treat it like a liability, something to manage, suppress, or grow out of. Oliver Nino thinks that's exactly backwards. I sit down with Oliver Nino, energy healer, entrepreneur, and founder of Authentic Living, to talk about what it actually means to be energetically sensitive, how that sensitivity becomes a liability when you don't have the tools to manage it, and what it looks like to work with your energy instead of against it.This isn't a conversation about crystals or magic thinking. Oliver is 70-80% logical by his own admission. He ran businesses before he ran healing workshops. What he brings is a grounded, pattern-recognition approach to a topic most people either dismiss or over-mystify. Whether you're a high-output entrepreneur running on empty, a parent who absorbs everything your kids feel, or someone stuck in a loop you can't seem to break out of, this episode gives you a framework for understanding what's yours, what isn't, and how to stop carrying both.What we explore:- How growing up as an empath with no guardrails leads to adrenal fatigue, brain fog, and emotional depletion, and what to do about it.- Why your intuition processes information 30 times faster than your logical mind, and how to learn to trust it without abandoning analytical thinking.- What energy healing actually looks like in practice, from clearing generational blocks to group sessions of thousands, and why you don't need to know the source of a wound to heal it.- How to build an energetic shield using intention, color, and sacred geometry: a simple 5-to-10-minute practice that has helped people with debilitating anxiety finally function in public.- Why removing interference matters more than adding mindset hacks, and how signal-to-noise ratio is the real reason most people can't hear their own instincts.Chapters:00:00 Intro01:29 How Empaths Absorb Other People's Pain Without Knowing It06:12 Why Caretakers Have Nobody to Turn To10:40 Why Entrepreneurship Requires Serious Internal Fuel19:03 How Intuition Saved His Life and Built His Business26:00 Why Red Flags Feel Like Green Flags Before You Heal28:32 How Shared Purpose Built His Marriage31:23 From the Philippines to Healing 100,000 People Online37:17 Generational Trauma: You Don't Need to Know the Source to Clear It42:20 How to Build an Energy Shield in 5 Minutes49:01 Why Empaths and Addicts Are Drawn to Each Other59:41 Why Stacking Spiritual Practices Multiplies Your Results01:07:39 Your Light Is Your Best Protection Against Negative Energy01:16:19 Stop Adding Hacks and Start Removing the Interference01:19:44 Why Manifestation Fails Without Massive Action01:24:53 How to Parent From Love Instead of Generational ProgrammingAbout Oliver Nino:Oliver Nino is an energy healer, entrepreneur, and the creator of Authentic Living.

The word “sensitive” has a lot of baggage. Much of it is negative. We are critical of people who we deem are not sensitive. Insensitive, we say. We are critical of people who we deem are too sensitive. Over sensitive, we say. If you look for the meaning of the word, you find this - Being sensitive means having a nervous system that processes information more deeply, resulting in acute physical, mental, or emotional responses to stimuli. I find myself today wanting to, as it says, “process information more deeply.” I want to feel the feels and experience all the sensations. That said, there are some things I feel, maybe too acutely. Some emotionally and some sensory. On both accounts I have some areas where I feel overly sensitive. How I choose to perceive them and address them is how I choose to care for myself, and with others regarding me. My guest in this show is my guru on sensitivities, and specifically, HSPs - highly sensitive people. Andre Sólo is the force behind Sensitive Refuge, the world's largest website for sensitive people, and Andre is the co-author of "Sensitive: The Hidden Power of the Highly Sensitive Person in a Loud, Fast, Too-Much World." When I first read Andre's book, I labeled myself an HSP, and you'll hear me refer to such in this episode. Since then, I do not accept this label, as I don't really accept any label. I don't align with saying I'm all of anything. But I do accept that there are some emotions and sensory perceptions that I recognize myself to be highly sensitive to. You may align with this as well, and Andre is here to help us learn how to be highly functioning, regardless of your sensitivities.

Women don't randomly develop bloating, food sensitivities, rosacea, eczema, hormone issues, and chronic inflammation overnight. But most are never told how connected these symptoms actually are. In this episode, Michele Scarlet sits down with Elizabeth Aylor to unpack her personal health transformation after years of severe gut dysfunction, histamine intolerance, hormone imbalance, skin flare-ups, food reactions, and losing her cycle for over seven years. After trying nearly every diet imaginable; including keto, carnivore, vegan, raw vegan, and strict gut-healing protocols. Nothing truly worked until she stopped chasing symptoms and started addressing the deeper stressors driving them. This episode dives into: histamine intolerance bloating and food sensitivities eczema and rosacea gut dysfunction and detox pathways hormone imbalance and missing periods mold toxicity and chronic inflammation why extreme diets often backfire If you feel like your body is reacting to everything, this episode will help you understand why.
