Hope for Right Now Podcast – Truth with Handles: How to Set Boundaries When you're navigating life's challenges, you don't need truth dumped all over you or shouted at you all at once; you need practical, faith-filled wisdom and Bible verses for everyday struggles. At Walking with Purpose, we call this “truth with handles”—biblical truths you can actually hold onto and provide relief from your pressure points. Each week during our six-week series, Truth with Handles, Laura shares a new topic with a corresponding Scripture passage, breaking it down into actionable, hope-filled steps to strengthen your faith and bring peace to your daily life. Today's topic: How to Set Boundaries. Do you struggle to take ownership of your life? Are you so consumed with everyone else's issues, that you've made their problems your own? As a Christian do you wonder when it is biblically appropriate to set limits? Tune in to hear how Laura is lightening her load and working her way to owning her life through setting boundaries! Open your Heart to our key Scripture. Matthew 5:37: Let what you say be simply “yes” or “no”; anything more than that comes from evil. Open your Bible to other Scriptures referenced in this episode. Genesis 1:27-28: So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. And God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea and of the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.” Galatians 6:2: Bear one another's burdens. Galatians 6:5: For each man will have to bear his own load. Invite Him in with this episode's questions for reflection. Ask yourself: What's in my knapsack? Is it my FAB (feelings, attitudes, behaviors)? Am I carrying the feelings and problems of others? Am I doing for someone what they ought to be doing for themselves? Am I carrying a load that does not belong to me? Is my help helping, or am I making things worse?   Show mentions.

This fall, it's time to let go of the loud logos and embrace something more timeless: quiet luxury. For years, we were sold the idea that worth could be worn — a handbag, a belt, or letters stitched across a sweater. But midlife is the season where style isn't about proving anything. It's about embodying confidence.In this episode, I share why women were drawn to logos in the first place, why they feel dated now, and how the quiet luxury movement gives us permission to edit smarter, dress with presence, and align our wardrobe with who we're becoming.In this episode you'll learn why logos once signaled “success” — and why they've lost their appeal; the fall wardrobe formulas and swaps that create effortless sophistication and how to curate a capsule wardrobe of timeless, versatile pieces that whisper, not shoutBecause the most powerful thing you can wear isn't a logo. It's your confidence and your presence.Send a Text Message :)

In this powerful episode of the "Communication Lies Leaders Believe" series, Tammy tackles a hidden saboteur in every team: employee baggage. Your team members aren't just bringing their skills to the table; they're bringing their past fears, limiting beliefs, and insecurities. Tammy busts the myth that it's a leader's job to fix this. Instead, she provides a clear, three-step framework to name it, frame it, and lead through it. This isn't about being an "accidental therapist"; it's about setting strong boundaries and creating a culture of accountability where insecurity doesn't become the “pink elephant with purple polka dots” in your room. Key Takeaways for Leaders Baggage Isn't Just Luggage: Your team's past experiences and insecurities are a real force in the workplace. It's your job to lead through it, not fix it. The Insecurity Lie: Don't believe the lie that giving more clarity or reassurance will make their insecurity go away. Insecurity is a story they're telling themselves, often rooted in past wounds, not current reality. Separate the Person from the Problem: Learn to disconnect their identity from their performance. A key phrase to use is: "Your value isn't in question here; your behavior in this role is." Set Boundaries for Growth: Your role is to support someone's growth, not to carry it for them. If they're unwilling to work on their limiting beliefs, it's a performance issue, not a leadership failure. In This Episode, You'll Learn How to identify when a team member's behavior is rooted in insecurity, not incompetence. The three-step process to name, frame, and lead through a team member's baggage. Why staying silent on emotional baggage is more costly than any conflict. The difference between helping a team member and being a "fixer." The questions to ask that will help a team member personally investigate their own limiting beliefs. This is just one of many lies we're busting! We're celebrating our 100th episode next week as we continue this series. Be sure to subscribe so you don't miss it!

The MTM Minute is a quick dose of inspiration with a powerful affirmation based on our weekly full-length episode.  And beginning this season, the MTM Minute will include a prayer of the week for 7 figure CEOs and 7 figure CEOs in the making.  That's right, you don't have to choose – you can love God AND make millions. This week, in our full-length episode, Set Boundaries Like a Boss  I shared tips and techniques to protect your time, energy and millions.  Click the link above to listen. This week's 7 Figure CEO Affirmation is "I set boundaries like a boss, confidently protecting my time, energy, and focus. I no longer overcommit or say yes out of obligation; instead, I honor what truly serves my vision and growth. My worth is not defined by what I give, but by who I am, and I create space for abundance and success to flow freely into my life. As I enforce my boundaries, I create the structure I need for my business to thrive, and my success unfolds with ease and clarity." Here are three actionable tips to anchor in this week's affirmation Set and Enforce Boundaries: Identify areas in your life or business where you feel drained or overcommitted. Start by setting clear boundaries around your time and energy. Practice saying "no" to low-priority tasks and distractions and protect your time for high-leverage activities that align with your growth goals. Schedule Downtime: Treat your rest as an essential part of your business strategy. Block out time on your calendar each week for rest and reflection. This helps you recharge, improve your decision-making, and keep your focus sharp for the tasks that matter most. Align Actions with Priorities: Reevaluate your daily activities and ensure they align with your long-term goals. Focus on what will produce results, and delegate or eliminate anything that drains your energy or takes you off track. This will help you maintain momentum while protecting your energy. Affirm with me: "I set boundaries like a boss, confidently protecting my time, energy, and focus. I no longer overcommit or say yes out of obligation; instead, I honor what truly serves my vision and growth. My worth is not defined by what I give, but by who I am, and I create space for abundance and success to flow freely into my life. As I enforce my boundaries, I create the structure I need for my business to thrive, and my success unfolds with ease and clarity." And this week's journal prompts are: The boundary I need to set this week to protect my time, energy, and focus is..." "Today, I commit to saying no to in order to honor my priorities and growth is…" Before the week is over, I will schedule some downtime to… And your prayer of the week: Heavenly Father, We thank You for the opportunity to grow, expand, and step into the powerful leaders You have called us to be. We ask that You help us establish and honor boundaries that protect our time, energy, and focus. Grant us the wisdom and courage to say no to distractions and yes to the growth opportunities that align with our purpose. We pray for clarity in prioritizing what matters most, trusting that as we set boundaries, we are creating the space needed to receive the abundance and success You have prepared for us. Guide our decisions and help us lead with integrity, purpose, and grace. In Your name, we pray. Amen.

Send us a textEver wonder why setting boundaries as a physician feels like trying to learn rocket science? You're brilliant, you've mastered complex medical concepts, yet saying "no" to one more request feels impossibly difficult. Here's the truth: You weren't taught how to set boundaries – you were actively trained to sacrifice yourself for others.The Car Manual RevelationPicture this: I'm sitting in my new electric car with my tech-savvy 13-year-old, trying to learn the features while driving. He's read the entire manual and is spewing facts about the parking system when all I need to know is where the windshield wiper button is. Sound familiar? That's exactly how most of us approach learning boundaries, self-care, and making our lives easier – we get overwhelmed with information instead of practical, immediately applicable skills.Why Boundary-Setting Feels Like Medical School All Over Again (But Worse)As physicians, we survived years of hierarchical learning where we were fed information and tested on facts. But here's what nobody told you: Adult learning is completely different, and understanding these principles is the key to finally mastering boundaries without the overwhelm and burnout.The 5 Adult Learning Principles That Will Transform Your Boundary Practice:1. Internal Motivation (Not External Pressure)You need crystal-clear reasons WHY you're setting boundaries. When that email request comes in asking you to take on "just one more thing," you better know exactly why you're saying no:"I need space to exist in my own life""I cannot add anything more without drowning""This isn't my responsibility at my licensure level"Without internal motivation, you'll cave every time. The overwhelm will win.2. Relevance (Immediately Applicable)Forget reading 10 books about boundary theory. You need to practice saying no to the next request that comes your way – even if it's small. That salesperson pushing you to "just sign here"? Perfect boundary practice. You don't need to wait for the "perfect" boundary moment.3. Experience (Hands-On Practice) You cannot learn boundaries from lectures about boundaries. You learn by feeling the discomfort of saying no and sitting with it. You learn by disappointing someone and discovering you both survive. You practice in low-stakes situations so you're ready for the high-stakes physician overwhelm moments.4. Task-Oriented (Not Information Overload) Stop consuming more boundary content and START practicing. Learn to do, then do more, then learn more. The physician who practices setting one small boundary daily will master this skill faster than the one who attends every wellness CME but never says no.5. Self-Directed (With Strategic Accountability)You're used to being accountable to everyone – patients, bosses, colleagues. Now you need to be accountable to yourself. This is where external support (like coaching) becomes crucial for breaking the physician burnout cycle.The Truth About Physician Overwhelm Support the showTo learn more about my coaching practice and group offerings, head over to www.healthierforgood.com.

Many moms hesitate to set boundaries because they don't want to seem selfish or unkind. But what if boundaries are actually one of the most compassionate things you can offer to yourself and to the people you love?   In this special episode, I'm sharing an interview I did with JoAnn Crohn of the No Guilt Mom Podcast for her Happy Mom Summit. JoAnn graciously gave permission for me to re-air our conversation here, and I can't wait for you to listen. Together, we dive into:

Damon and Damo are back, calling an audible after a guest no-show (don't worry — he's safe and sound). The conversation kicks off with Damo asking how Chiefs really view CMCs, followed by his response to a negative Facebook comment about him. Fresh off an appearance on Theresa Carpenter's Stories of Service podcast, Damo challenges Damon to reflect on how far he's come.   The guys tackle a listener's suggestion to revamp the PFA with firefighting readiness tasks, react to the disappointing update in the death of CSSN Angelina Resendiz, and weigh the pros and cons of being stationed in your hometown for your first tour. Damon shares his first impressions of CMC turnover, and the two debate whether there's ever enough time to be a “bystander hero.”   They also break down the viral wrestling match between Raja Jackson and Army vet Syko Stu, laugh through the strangeness of dreams about cheating partners, and highlight Admiral Caudle's first All Hands Call aboard USS Truman with a “Sailor First” message. A few Reddit posts spark some impromptu motivation, the Cowboys trading Micah Parsons shakes up NFL fans, and Damon's “Do Better” of the week takes aim at tariffs. These and more topics are covered in this episode.   To have your “Do Better” reviewed on a future episode, please get in touch with us at ptsfpodcast@gmail.com   Keep up with the ‘Permission to Speak Freely' podcast  on our social media and YouTube - https://linktr.ee/Ptsfpodcast       Links and more from this episode:   Cheekz Adult Diapers - https://shop.alohaseniorhomecare.com   Stories of Service (Ep. 220) (Feat.

Is low libido in midlife really just about menopause? Or is something deeper at play? In this episode, I share a perspective that may feel a little controversial: while hormones certainly shift, many women are unknowingly pressing on the “brakes” of their own desire—through stress, resentment, exhaustion, and unresolved emotional or relational tension.Together, we'll explore Emily Nagoski's dual control model of sexual accelerators and brakes, and I'll guide you through practical steps to release what's dimming your light.

In this episode of "Rise Up Live Joy Your Way," certified life coach Kamini Wood dives into the common habit of people-pleasing, exploring why it's so pervasive and how to break free. She explains that people-pleasing is a persistent tendency to prioritize others' needs and desires over your own, often stemming from a fear of rejection or a need for approval. Drawing on research from neuroscience and psychology, Kamini discusses how these behaviors are reinforced by the brain's reward pathways and can be linked to insecure attachment styles from childhood. She offers a compassionate, science-backed guide to overcoming this pattern through boundary-setting, cognitive reframing, and self-compassion, empowering listeners to live a more authentic life.Discover more powerful tips and guidance here: https://www.kaminiwood.com/blog/Learn more about my coaching services: https://www.kaminiwood.com/services/Follow me for more empowering inspiration and guidance:https://www.instagram.com/itsauthenticme/https://www.facebook.com/itsauthenticme/https://www.pinterest.com/itsauthenticme/

Our culture teaches that when someone is struggling with substance use, the correct response is tough love. It's better to let them hit rock bottom than to enable their behavior.   My guest today is Heather Ross, host of the Living While Loving Your Child Through Addiction podcast. She's also a dear personal friend. We're letting you eavesdrop on one of the many raw conversations we've had about the devastating impact the “tough love” mindset has on both the giver and the receiver. And why compassion is not the same as enabling.  You'll hear Heather's first-hand account of what happened when she shifted her goal from controlling the situation to connecting with her daughter. Her story is both heartbreaking and inspiring, because despite losing her daughter to a fentanyl overdose, she will never regret that she was a safe place for her daughter–and a source of unconditional love.   Buckle up, because this one's a tear jerker. But whether you're a parent, partner or just wondering how to show up for someone you love, you'll walk away with a clear understanding of how to release fear, find your ground and support your person without losing yourself.    Click here to get Heather's free guide: A New Perspective about “Enabling”--A guide for parents who want to help their kids but aren't sure how.  Find Heather on social media @HeatherRossCoaching, and listen to her podcast Living While Loving Your Child Through Addiction.   If you are ready to get support from a community of women who are co-creating this change with intention and clarity— Click here to BOOK A DISCOVERY CALL.  Do you want help from Colleen with a situation you're struggling with?

Luxury isn't about saying yes to everything. It isn't the crowded calendar, the endless obligations, or the forced commitments that leave you drained. The new luxury is about discernment, alignment, and the elegant no... boundaries that protect your energy without guilt or apology. In this episode, I'm breaking down how to practice the elegant no so you can curate a life that feels expansive, intentional, and joy-filled. We'll talk… • Why saying no feels so hard, and how to reframe it as an act of self-worth. • How the French philosophy of restraint and refinement ties into living beautifully. • Real-world scenarios and scripts for saying no to friends, clients, and even family,  gracefully and without ever using the word “no.” • How fewer, deeper yeses create more space for the everyday moments of joie de vivre. By the end of this episode, you'll see that boundaries aren't barriers, they're the foundation of living well, slowly, and luxuriously. Because your yes means more when you've mastered the elegant no.   Useful Resources:

What if the guilt and shame you carry as a mother or caretaker weren't yours to begin with?In this episode of The Big Silence, Karena Dawn sits down with Vanessa Bennett, LMFT, licensed depth therapist, and author of the new book, The Motherhood MythFrom growing up as a “parentified child” to raising her daughter with intention, Vanessa shares how generational wounds, from the “witch wound” to the “mother wound”, shape our lives in ways we may not realize. Together, they explore self-abandonment, the myth of perfection, codependency in relationships, and how to reclaim your identity through micro moments of self-choosing. Whether you're a mother, daughter, partner, or friend, this conversation offers tangible ways to break cycles, set boundaries, and follow the breadcrumbs back to yourself.How Do We Heal Generational Wounds Without Losing Ourselves?Vanessa reveals how recognizing inherited patterns and our part in them is the first step to breaking free.(00:00:22) Depth Psychology and the Path to IndividuationVanessa explains depth psychology as the “psychology of the soul,” focusing on the whole being and the unconscious.Her upbringing as a parentified child and how it shaped her initial decision not to have children.The importance of holding your upbringing objectively to heal. “They're not all bad. And also, they're not all good.”(00:06:11) The Trinity Wound: Witch, Sister, and MotherThe witch wound: epigenetic trauma silencing women's power, sexuality, and individuality.The sister wound: competition among women fueled by scarcity thinking.The mother wound: how women unconsciously uphold patriarchy and pass down harmful narratives.Why ending these cycles starts with self-awareness and modeling change for the next generation.(00:12:30) Self-Abandonment, Guilt, and Rebuilding Your Sense of SelfGuilt and shame are by design. They are tools of societal control, not signs you're broken.Accept guilt as part of the process, then act anyway.Use “micro moments” (like saying no when you mean it) as bricks in the foundation of self-trust.Following breadcrumbs: orienting toward what makes you feel alive, even if it's small or scary.(00:22:09) Codependency, Resentment, and Healthy BoundariesWe live in a codependent culture that teaches us to outsource our emotional regulation.Resentment as a diagnostic tool: a signal that a boundary is being crossed or unspoken.Attachment styles are fluid and change depending on the relationship dynamic.The link between resentment and projection and how awareness can stop the cycle.Why attraction often fades when relationships take on a parental dynamic, and how both partners can reclaim responsibility for their own happiness.(00:32:50) Friendships, Attachment Styles, and CommunicationVanessa and her co-host model conflict resolution through a commitment to talk about issues openly.The cultural trap of expecting a partner to “reparent” us and why it can kill romantic attraction.Building safety without losing mystery or eros in long-term relationships.(00:40:17) Therapy, Accessibility, and the Power of Group WorkWhy therapists need therapists, and the stigma that still exists around seeking help.Alternative paths to healing: coaches, low-cost...

Tell me — when's the last time you made a decision without asking someone else if it was the “right” one?If your answer is… “uh, I can't remember,” then we need to talk about self-trust.Because confidence in midlife isn't something you magically “get back” when the stars align or the kids move out. It's something you build, one bold decision at a time. And self-trust is the foundation. Without it, you hesitate, second-guess, and keep playing small.In this episode, I'm sharing how to stop outsourcing your choices, break free from that over-consulting habit, and start living like the woman you know you're meant to be. Think of this as your permission slip to enter your audacious era — the season of unapologetic self-belief, confident choices, and the kind of presence that turns heads (in the best way).What You'll Hear in This Episode:Why self-trust is the magic ingredient behind every confident woman you admireHow to break the habit of crowdsourcing your decisionsThree bold-but-manageable moves you can make this week to grow your confidenceHow to step into the version of you who's already living the life you wantSend a Text Message :)

Emotional resilience is one of the most powerful skills you can develop as a mom - and let's be honest, it's also one of the hardest to master.   From toddler tantrums to teen drama, from work stress to family dynamics… there's no shortage of moments that can leave you feeling stretched thin and emotionally spent. And there's no season that tests this quite like summer, when the routines are loose, the noise is constant, and everyone seems to need something from you all day long. That's why I'm re-airing this powerful conversation with Dr. Jen Riday, a mom of six with a PhD in Human Development and Family Studies and host of the Vibrant Happy Women podcast. Jen combines research-backed wisdom with real-life experience to help women build emotional resilience... and the healthy boundaries that make it possible. Because here's the truth: You can't be emotionally resilient without boundaries. Boundaries aren't about controlling others, they're about protecting your peace. Learning to say, “This is what I will do to care for myself,” is one of the most courageous and transformative skills you can develop as a mom. In this episode, you'll learn:
