Send us a textIn today's episode, we're talking about something a lot of us grew up with but never really learned how to navigate: dysfunctional family dynamics and the boundaries we need to stay sane. If you've ever felt like the “therapist” of your family, the fixer, the responsible one, or the one who keeps the peace… this episode is for you. I'm sharing the patterns I grew up around, the realizations I had as an adult, and the simple things that helped me create space, protect my peace, and stop carrying what isn't mine. We're talking taking space without guilt, learning to say no, stopping the fixer role, accepting people as they are, and choosing relationships that feel healthy even if that means building your own version of family.This episode is gentle, honest, and a reminder that you're allowed to grow in ways your family may never understand.I hope it helps you feel less alone and a little lighter.Instagram@veronicacamposramos_Tiktok@veronicaramospodcastSnapchatvrverooBusiness contactveronicacampos600 @gmail.com

In times of uncertainty, when we need to get unstuck or figure out our next steps, whether personally or professionally, we can all benefit from more clarity. The great news is that we all have access to an inner compass trying to guide us to what's in our best interest—and that is our intuition.

In this episode of The Wellegant Woman Podcast, we dive into the midlife money mindset—specifically why so many women over 40 struggle with money anxiety, scarcity mindset, overspending, and the emotional side of finances. Instead of talking budgets or spreadsheets, we explore the deeper patterns: cultural conditioning around women and money, nervous system dysregulation, emotional spending, people-pleasing, performative generosity, and the approval loop that keeps women stuck in financial stress.You'll learn why midlife is the turning point where old money stories become intolerable, how the holidays often trigger money-related overwhelm, and how to start building a healthier, more empowered relationship with money rooted in alignment, worthiness, and calm confidence. If you've ever felt stressed about money—even when your finances are “fine”—this episode will feel like a breath of relief. Send a Text Message :)

Your family doesn't understand your eating disorder. They make comments about your food. They trigger you at every holiday gathering. You're walking on eggshells, feeling attacked, and wondering if recovery is even possible around them. Girlfriend, this episode is for you. Host Lindsey Nichol shares an incredibly vulnerable moment - her mom called crying after listening to the podcast for the first time, saying "I had no idea what I was doing during your recovery. I just knew I needed to help you." This emotional conversation revealed a profound truth: families don't understand because they're trying to understand while dealing with their own pain. In this powerful episode, Lindsey addresses both sides of the struggle - what to do when your family doesn't understand your eating disorder, AND what loved ones need to know about supporting someone in recovery. Because the truth is, hurt people hurt people. And your family's "attacks" might actually be their way of coping with fear, denial, and their own feelings of helplessness. Whether you're dreading Thanksgiving dinner, anxious about Christmas gatherings, or just trying to survive family events without being triggered - this episode gives you the boundaries, scripts, and strategies you need to protect your recovery while staying connected to the people you love. This is for you if you're struggling. This is for you if you're supporting someone. This is for all of us navigating the complexity of family, recovery, and the holidays. In This Episode, You'll Hear: Lindsey's Mom's Tearful Phone Call Her mom called crying after listening to the podcast for the first time "I had no idea what I was doing through your healing journey" "I just knew you were my only child and I wasn't gonna have it" How she educated herself about eating disorders but still felt lost "Most of the time I had no idea what to do next" The growth that's happened over the years in their relationship Why this conversation was so powerful and needed The Truth About Family Not Understanding When your family doesn't understand, it can be paralyzing Even though Lindsey's mom didn't understand HOW to support her, she loved her The message: Love doesn't always know how to show up correctly There is so much happening in your mind that family can't see The growth that happens over time as you work through recovery together Why This Matters for YOU You don't have to sit in this mess and let it become who you are This is just a speed bump in your journey If you're a parent struggling with what to do next, you don't have to have it all figured out It's important to get as educated as possible to support your loved one The importance of boundaries on BOTH sides during recovery The Reality: Your ED Affects Everyone This illness affects and hurts every person close to you Yes, it's isolating, but it echoes to everyone around you like dominoes You can be in your own feelings thinking it's not harming people, but it is If you don't have energy, you're snapping at your kids If you aren't nourishing yourself, you're not giving your best to others You may be triggered by family comments, but they're dealing with their own emotions too Why Your Family Seems Unsupportive Everyone in your life has their own way of coping with what you're struggling with If you're resisting recovery, your family might be resisting change too They may seem unsupportive or attacking, but this is THEIR way of handling and coping Lindsey's mom was terrified and avoiding judgment from others She told NO ONE - not even immediate family She took it on as self-blame: "What did I do wrong as a parent?" Your illness is NOT isolated - it's impacting everyone, even if it feels isolating to you The Walking on Eggshells Reality Lindsey's mom felt like she was walking on eggshells She never knew if she'd trigger Lindsey or push her in the opposite direction She never knew what mood Lindsey was in or what she'd eaten last When she asked questions, it was to gain understanding But Lindsey couldn't give that understanding because she was trying to figure it out herself There was positive intent 9 times out of 10 Even anger or denial often comes from positive intent The Phases of Denial Lindsey was in denial of the disorder Her mom was ALSO in denial that this could happen to her child Her mom was angry - all those feelings were valid and real Being in denial works in many ways on both sides You might not feel "sick enough" but that's not the point Even loved ones go through phases of denial before they can help Hurt People Hurt People This is how pain gets passed on generation after generation Lindsey doesn't want you to just break chains of ED She wants you to break chains FOR your loved ones and yourself Meet anger with kindness and understanding Be compassionate while honoring your path This is hard because we want to be left alone in the disorder Boundaries & Strategies You Can Set: Strategy #1: Use Your Voice Brené Brown says: "When we are busy pleasing and perfecting and performing, we end up saying yes a lot when we mean no." Use your voice Share with people closest to you where you are in your journey Share where you are in your struggle This was the hardest thing - Lindsey didn't share, she just dealt with her own stuff She wasn't ready to share when she was being probed Share if they're SAFE people (this is important) Ask them for support Ask them for what you need from them Why This Matters: If you're a people pleaser, this is hard. But if your support system is trying to fix or please you, they actually NEED something to do. Give them something to do that makes them feel like they're helping. Strategy #2: Have the Hard Conversations Let people in your circle know how they can show up for you in hard times Have those vulnerable moments Lindsey wishes she would have done this Hear them and remain open-minded Let them share their feelings too Strategy #3: Decide Your Boundaries & SHARE Them What to Say: "I know that you care about me, but comments about my food choices right now aren't helpful for my recovery journey" "I appreciate you and I know that you love me, but I'm working with a care team and professionals to help guide my journey and health forward" "I need to heal my relationship with my food, so I'm going to remove myself from any diet conversations or triggering discussions this holiday season because I don't want to absorb that. It's the opposite of what I'm trying to do" Strategy #4: Pre-Plan to Ease Overwhelm As you go into the holiday season with family gatherings and events: Have self-care practices in place Know your go-to's for triggering situations Sometimes this looks like an EXIT STRATEGY Lindsey's Example: Even YEARS after recovering from anorexia, she'd go to Thanksgiving wondering: Are people watching if Lindsay takes the roll? Are they watching if Lindsay has stuffing? If she only has a bite of pie vs. a slice, does that mean she's struggling again? She felt like people were watching her in a fish tank The Truth: That was HER stuff. Even if they ARE watching, you're strong in your decision-making. You're strong in your truth. You know you're for YOU. Strategy #5: Have an Exit Strategy If you're going to be around someone super triggering: Share your voice Speak your truth Be true to you Go with other people BUT if you get super triggered, know that's not going to help you hours or days after Have an EXIT STRATEGY ready It's okay to focus on recovery while participating in traditions Strategy #6: Reflect on Your Growth How am I different this Thanksgiving/Christmas/New Year than last year? How has my mind grown? How has my heart grown? What are my dreams? The Reality: When you're stuck in the disorder, you can't have dreams because it robs you of thinking further along than the current moment. All you can think about is what you can eat next or can't. Strategy #7: Put Yourself Around Understanding People Take care of YOU. Spend time with people who understand where you are. But even if they DON'T understand - boundaries provide healthy structure. The Truth: You're a structure queen. Structure is essential in building anything that lasts and thrives. You've got to have healthy structure. Boundaries = valuing you + bettering you For Loved Ones & Supporters: If You're Supporting Someone With an ED: Your Boundaries Are Just As Important When Lindsey's mom was trying to help, fix, and do all the things - she wasn't taking care of HERSELF She wasn't honoring her own needs She was walking on eggshells worried something she said would set Lindsey off Setting boundaries isn't about pushing that person away That's actually ENABLING them by isolating them more into the disorder What to Say: "I feel like there is something going on with you. I want to support you. I'm seeing changes in you. I want to help you, and right now maybe I don't even know what that looks like, but I just want you to feel seen and loved by me. I want to hold your hand. When you need me - and we all will have that breakdown mode - I'm here." When They Pull Away: Sometimes when somebody pulls away, it means they need space to process. Lindsey's Truth: She knew what her mom was telling her was the truth because she loved and looked up to her. Part of her heart already KNEW. Part of her was searching for someone to say it. But she was feeling all these different feelings. Brain Dump Your Feelings Whether you're the one struggling OR the caretaker - brain dump all those feelings. That's part of healing. Remember: Hurt people hurt people. Key Takeaways: ✨ When your family doesn't understand, it's paralyzing - but love doesn't always know how to show up correctly ✨ Your eating disorder affects EVERYONE close to you, even if it feels isolating ✨ People that love you usually mean well - they're just not sure HOW to mean well ✨ Your family's "attacks" are often their way of coping with fear, denial, and helplessness ✨ Hurt people hurt people - pain gets passed on generation after generation ✨ Use your voice - share where you are with SAFE people and ask for what you need ✨ Boundaries value you and better you - they create space to heal ✨ Have an exit strategy for triggering holiday situations ✨ Pre-plan your self-care practices before family gatherings ✨ Setting boundaries isn't pushing family away - it's creating space you need to heal ✨ Your recovery journey deserves respect and protection ✨ If you're a supporter, your boundaries are just as important ✨ When someone pulls away, they often just need space to process Questions to Reflect On: About Your Family: Does your family understand what you're going through? Do you feel attacked or on defense around them? Have you shared where you are in your journey with safe people? What do you need from them that you haven't asked for? Are you resisting their help because you're not ready? About Your Boundaries: What boundaries do you need to set this holiday season? Have you shared those boundaries clearly? Do you have an exit strategy for triggering situations? What self-care practices do you have in place? Are you putting yourself around understanding people? About Your Growth: How are you different this year than last year? How has your mind grown? How has your heart grown? What are your dreams now? Can you think beyond the current moment? If You're a Supporter: Are you taking care of yourself while supporting your loved one? Are you setting your own boundaries? Are you walking on eggshells worried you'll set them off? Have you asked them what they need instead of assuming? Are you creating space for them to process? Ready to Navigate the Holidays With Support? Don't Face the Holidays Alone If you need support this season because you don't have that support person, or no one understands you, or you feel like no one does - Lindsey doesn't want you to go at this alone. Even with a healthy support system, you should work with somebody who's been there and gone through an eating disorder. Why It Matters: How do we teach our kids to ride a bike if we've never ridden a bike before? It's so important to work with a professional who understands right where you are.

The Love, Happiness and Success Podcast With Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby
This time of year brings a lot of togetherness… and with it, a lot of unspoken tension. Difficult conversations are the ones you rehearse in your mind or hold back during holiday dinners, worried that saying the wrong thing could create a rift you can't repair. That's why I'm re-releasing this episode on how to have difficult conversations in a way that protects your relationship (and often deepens it) instead of pushing you further apart. We'll talk about why we either avoid hard topics until resentment leaks out, or bring them up in a burst of anger and criticism, and how both patterns wear down trust over time. You'll learn what it actually takes to do this differently: managing emotional flooding, getting honest with yourself before you speak, knowing when a conversation is worth having (and when it's time to set a firm boundary), and shifting the goal from “winning” to mutual understanding so you can stay connected even when you don't agree. Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Navigating Difficult Conversations 06:07 Emotional Intelligence & Self-Regulation 17:49 When to Set Boundaries and Walk Away 21:00 Growth Through Discomfort 27:05 Preparing for Hard Conversations 29:53 Seeing Through Others' Eyes 36:08 Handling Polarized Views 42:09 Reciprocity & Healthy Relationships If this episode brings a specific conversation to mind and your stomach flips a little just thinking about it, I have a resource to support you. My Communication That Connects free training takes you deeper into the skills we cover here - practical do's and don'ts for communication that creates understanding, plus real examples you can use with your partner right away. You'll also receive a full workbook with lessons, activities, and homework to help you get to the root of conflict, calm reactive patterns, and build a more emotionally safe connection. And if you're at the point where you don't want to keep doing this alone, I'd be honored to support you more directly.

This week I break down the reality of going home for the holidays and how easily old environments can pull you back into old habits. We talk about the pressure of seeing friends and family who haven't witnessed your growth, why people say “you've changed,” and how to hold your line when they expect you to be the same version of yourself you used to be.I walk through the importance of setting clear boundaries before you travel, communicating your non-negotiables, and staying disciplined even when the entire season is built around temptation—food, alcohol, late nights, and emotional triggers. We dive into how to love your family without abandoning your routine, how to avoid slipping into familiar patterns, and how to protect the progress you've worked for all year.Interested in my private coaching & FREE workouts?

If you've ever been in a relationship with emotional immaturity or narcissistic behavior, you know the truth: Healing doesn't come with a map. Emotional safety doesn't come with instructions. And waking up is rarely a straight line. In this 10th “Death by 1,000 Cuts” episode, Tony introduces The Ten Emotional Commandments — the patterns, boundaries, and insights that so many people wish they had years earlier. These commandments aren't rules you obey; they're survival skills you learn. They're the shifts that help you understand your emotions, trust your gut, stop overexplaining, and finally step out of the chaos you didn't choose. This episode is validating, grounding, sometimes funny, sometimes painful — and deeply relatable. With listener-submitted “cuts,” real-world examples, and a gentle breakdown of what healing actually looks like, Tony helps you recognize the patterns AND understand how to break them. If you've felt alone in your confusion, in your exhaustion, or in the emotional whiplash of trying to make sense of someone else's immaturity — this episode is for you. 00:00 Introduction and Series Overview 00:37 The Power of Your Stories 01:20 A Survivor's Poem 04:42 The 10 Emotional Commandments 08:54 Commandment 1: Raise Your Emotional Baseline 15:59 Commandment 2: Get Your PhD in Gaslighting 21:53 Commandment 3: Drop the Rope of Emotional Tug of War 27:33 Commandment 4: Set Boundaries and Mean Them 32:17 Stop Searching for the Perfect Words 33:01 Examples of False Promises and Manipulation 33:52 Understanding Emotional Immaturity 36:41 Limiting Your Attack Surface 40:13 Recognizing Projection 44:45 Honoring Your Inner Dialogue 48:37 Trusting Your Gut and Emotions 53:07 Change is Not Linear 57:51 Final Thoughts and Resources Women navigating emotionally immature relationships: come join Tony's private women's Facebook group.

All of us are familiar with the feeling a resentment, the angst that comes from feeling anger, frustration, or envy about how someone else is showing up and we think we're being taken advantage of or that things are unfair or that we don't deserve that treatment. And yet, remembering that resentment is not caused by someone else's behavior, but rather, by our own thoughts, helps us step into responsibility and empowerment to create something different. Resentment is a great opportunity for us to clean up our thoughts in ways you may not have considered. Thanks for listening! Want to learn more about this concept?

"Just say no" is the worst advice you could ever receive to help you set boundaries. Stop treating boundaries like a willpower contest and start understanding what your brain is trying to protect. We pull apart the well-meaning but shallow advice to “just say no” and explain why high-achieving women so often snap back to people-pleasing the moment they feel pushback or disappointment in the room. The real driver isn't a lack of strength—it's a nervous system trained to read limits as threats to reputation, income, and belonging.We walk through the neuroscience in plain language: how the amygdala overrides your prefrontal cortex, why fight-flight-freeze shows up as overexplaining, reflexive yeses, or avoidance, and how subconscious beliefs link boundaries with danger. From there, we offer a practical path to rewire those links. You'll learn to surface the precise fear your brain predicts, gather real counter-evidence, regulate your body in the moment, and use concise boundary language that respects both the relationship and your capacity. Expect simple tools like the physiological sigh, value-linked scripts that shorten guilt spirals, and low-stakes reps that teach your system that no is safe.Across four years of working with leaders and entrepreneurs, we've seen what changes when limits become second nature: calmer calendars, higher quality work, cleaner collaboration, and more energy for the people you're doing this for in the first place. If you've ever wished you could set a boundary without the mental gymnastics and fallout, this conversation gives you the roadmap—rooted in brain science and proven in real-world careers. Listen now, try one tool this week, and tell us what shifts. If this helped, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review so more high achievers can break the burnout cycle.Have a question that you want answered on the show?

Leverage Your Incredible Factor Business Podcast with Darnyelle Jervey Harmon, MBA
This episode is powered by The Move to Millions Ascension Archetype Quiz , your first step in uncovering how to leverage your divine wiring to lead with alignment as you stop sabotaging your next level of success. Discover your divine wiring and uncover what's REALLY keeping YOU from millions. 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's 7 Figure CEO Affirmation is " I am a cool. Calm and collected 7 Figure CEO. I lead my business with calm, clarity, and confidence. I am the emotional thermostat for my team, and I choose to show up from a place of balance and self-regulation. My nervous system is aligned with my purpose, and as I embody the calm within the chaos, my decisions are empowered, my energy is focused, and my business thrives. I trust that I can navigate challenges with grace and ease, creating space for boundless growth and success." Here are three actionable tips to anchor in this week's affirmation Regulate Your Nervous System: Before making big decisions or entering stressful situations, practice deep breathing exercises. Try the 4-7-8 breathing technique—inhale for 4 counts, hold for 7 counts, and exhale for 8 counts. Doing this will help calm your nervous system and allow you to make decisions with clarity and confidence. Set Boundaries for Calm Leadership: Reflect on the moments when you feel overwhelmed or reactive. Set intentional boundaries to protect your energy and focus. Schedule time for yourself daily to decompress, reflect, and prepare mentally for the day ahead. This will enable you to show up for your team with calm leadership. Create Daily Rituals for Emotional Balance: Incorporate grounding techniques and self-care practices into your daily routine. Practice the 5-4-3-2-1 grounding method when you feel overwhelmed, or take a short walk outside to center yourself. These daily rituals will help you stay grounded and focused on your long-term goals, even when challenges arise. Affirm with me: " I am a cool, calm and collected 7 Figure CEO. I lead my business with calm, clarity, and confidence. I am the emotional thermostat for my team, and I choose to show up from a place of balance and self-regulation. My nervous system is aligned with my purpose, and as I embody the calm within the chaos, my decisions are empowered, my energy is focused, and my business thrives. I trust that I can navigate challenges with grace and ease, creating space for boundless growth and success." And this week's journal prompts are: "When I feel stressed or overwhelmed, I will calm my nervous system by..." "One boundary I need to set in my business to protect my energy and create space for growth is..." "To lead with calm, clarity, and confidence, I will focus on..." And your prayer of the week: Heavenly Father, We come before You today, grateful for the opportunity to lead with purpose, clarity, and calm. We ask for Your guidance in helping us regulate our nervous systems, allowing us to lead our teams and businesses with wisdom, peace, and confidence. Help us to show up in a way that sets the tone for those around us, so that we can create a thriving environment that supports our growth and the impact we are called to make. Give us the strength to overcome stress and overwhelm, and the courage to make decisions from a place of calm and clarity. May our businesses flourish, and may we remain aligned with Your purpose as we lead with grace, ease, and abundance. In Your name, we pray. Amen.

In this intimate exchange, Baya and Lewis dive into the quiet courage it takes to say no without guilt and to believe that you'll still be okay when you do. She reminds us that real love isn't earned through contortion or compromise, it's built on alignment, truth, and the safety of being fully seen.What begins as a conversation about romantic boundaries unfolds into something deeper — a reflection on friendship, self-worth, and emotional honesty. Baya shares how lifelong friendships anchor her when everything else shifts, and Lewis opens up about his own recent journey of redefining what healthy relationships look like. Together, they explore the idea that outgrowing people doesn't mean failure, it means you're finally growing into yourself.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

What if a powerful and profound therapy session happened without saying a single word—just by standing in a field with a 1,200-pound mirror? In this deeply personal solo episode of HEAL with Kelly, I take you inside my transformative equine therapy session, where the horses became profound teachers of authenticity, protection, boundaries, and emotional release. You'll hear how one horse reflected back my inner critic, how another embodied a protective masculine energy I had never fully experienced before, and how these encounters helped me release grief, regulate my nervous system, and reconnect with my essence of joy and awe. Beyond the corral, I guide you through my process of conscious creation — from gratitude journaling to visualization practices, to the simple yet powerful phrase “Just Imagine.” You'll learn how imagination, elevated emotion, and gratitude combine to rewire the brain, shift your biochemistry, send new information into the invisible field around you, and open you up to new dimensions of infinite possibility. We'll explore how frustration, control, and timelines can block manifestation and why the key is to trust the field, not the how. I also share personal stories of loss, alignment, and rediscovery, revealing how consistent healing work and faith in divine intelligence create space for true miracles. This episode is for anyone ready to reclaim their creative power, elevate their vibration, and remember that when we align with joy and truth, life shows up in the most miraculous and beautiful ways.

Psychological boundaries are internal boundaries that we set with ourselves, inside of our own heads. They allow us to decide what ideas, thoughts, or beliefs we want to accept and which ones we don't. We will receive a lot of messaging about who we are and how we are and we get to decide which of those messages is okay and which are not okay. Having good psychological boundaries with ourselves is a precursor to being able to set clear and concise external boundaries with others. Thanks for listening! Want to learn more about this concept?
