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?

Have you been feeling anxious lately? Do you notice when your mind starts to spiral? Jay welcomes back his good friend and New York Times bestselling author Gabrielle Bernstein for a deep and inspiring conversation about true inner healing. Together, they unpack Gabby’s latest book, Self-Help, which reimagines Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) as a practice anyone can bring into their daily life. Gabby shares how the parts of us we often judge, the anxious part, the perfectionist, the people-pleaser, the one who needs control, aren’t our enemies. They’re parts that have been trying to protect us, even if they sometimes get in the way. As the conversation unfolds, Jay and Gabby unpack why so many of us get caught in cycles of burnout, self-criticism, and emotional disconnection. Gabby shares her simple four-step “check-in” practice, a way to pause, look inward, and start building a kinder relationship with ourselves. Through this process, she explains, we can start to recognize our patterns, meet them with compassion and find peace even in the midst of life’s noise. Together, they unpack powerful questions we can all relate to: Why is it easier to comfort others than ourselves? Could our inner critic actually be trying to protect us? And how can we set boundaries without losing our empathy or warmth? In this interview, you'll learn: How to Befriend Every Part of Yourself How to Recognize Your Inner Protectors How to Heal Through Compassion, Not Control How to Calm Your Inner Critic How to Create Boundaries Without Guilt How to Self-Soothe When You Feel Triggered Healing doesn’t mean fixing what’s broken, it means learning to see every part of yourself with compassion and curiosity. The parts of you that once felt heavy or hard to love are often the same ones that carried you through the toughest moments.

"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.

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?

If you've ever struggled to say no without guilt or found yourself overgiving in relationships, work, or business, this conversation will change how you see boundaries forever. Most of us were taught that boundaries are walls, a way to keep people out. But what if they were actually the bridge back to self trust, compassion, and freedom? In this episode, I sit down with Mariya Graestone, a Love and Boundaries Coach and creator of The Gates Method — a five-step framework for creating boundaries that feel good instead of harsh. Mariya shares her journey from burnout and bankruptcy to deep embodiment and spiritual alignment, revealing what it really takes to honor yourself in every area of life.

When you picture a caregiver, what image comes to mind? Often, it's someone running on empty, holding everything together, and putting their own needs last. But what if preserving yourself isn't selfish but essential?In this episode, Charlotte challenges the belief that caregiving means disappearing. Through real examples and deeply relatable moments, she redefines what strength looks like for caregivers. This episode explores how caring for yourself: your body, your mind, and your nervous system, isn't a luxury. It's survival.You'll walk away with practical, grounded ideas for integrating small acts of self-preservation into your caregiving life. From setting boundaries to taking conscious breaths, Charlotte shares how these quiet actions are acts of resistance against a system that often overlooks you.
Setting boundaries in our most cherished relationships can be hard not just because we're often doing something that may be new and requires courage, but because many of us feel so much guilt when our boundary is not received with glowing accolades but rather with pushback and frustration and even anger. And that guilt comes from two places – ourselves and others. Learning to manage our thoughts to create self-respect and courage rather than guilt is an important part of developing healthy relationships with those we love. Thanks for listening!

In this episode of Wellegant Woman: Redefining Midlife, we're exploring the hidden cost of “beauty burnout”—when anti-aging routines stop feeling like self-care and start becoming self-betrayal. With women in midlife at the center of a multi-billion-dollar beauty industry, it's easy to get swept into endless products, treatments, and pressures that drain our joy instead of fueling our radiance. I'll share my own story of chasing every ritual out of fear, and the shift that helped me rediscover beauty as play, pleasure, and authentic self-expression. You'll learn how to audit your rituals, filter pressure from pleasure, and design a beauty practice that feels radiant, soulful, and sustainable. Because true wellegance isn't about doing everything—it's about choosing what lights you up.Send a Text Message :)

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.

Are you ready to seriously tackle the issue of setting boundaries? Are you ready to tap into your inner power and finally take control? If that's a yes, then you're in the right place because today, we're diving deep into this topic with none other than the Boundary Boss herself, my dear friend, Terri Cole. For those of you who've listened to my previous episodes with Terri, you know that she's like the wise big sister handing out reality checks left and right. Our shared mission is to empower you to set boundaries without feeling guilty and to stop accepting less than you deserve from anyone. In today's special Q&A episode which we recorded live on YouTube, we're addressing those feelings of manipulation, dismissiveness, and belittlement.

They fuel my commitment to show up for you and help you build your confidence, one episode at a time. To further support you on this journey, I've created a FREE course that will help you build the kind of confidence that says, 'These are my boundaries, respect them or step aside!'
