As a mom of three boys, one of the questions I think about most is: how do we raise healthy, resilient kids in a world that feels increasingly complicated? In this special compilation episode, I'm revisiting some of my favorite conversations about parenting, emotional health, food, independence, and resilience. These discussions have shaped the way I approach motherhood and have given me practical tools that I come back to again and again. You'll hear from Dr. Lauren Hartman on helping kids develop a healthy relationship with food and their bodies, Devon Kuntzman on understanding toddler behavior and responding with connection instead of reaction, Lenore Skenazy on why independence is one of the greatest gifts we can give our children, and Nicole Runyon on setting boundaries that foster confidence, resilience, and emotional strength. No matter what stage of parenting you're in, I hope these conversations remind you that raising healthy kids isn't about perfection, it's about showing up with consistency, presence, and trust. → Leave Us A Voice Message!  Topics Discussed: → How can parents reduce childhood anxiety? → What are signs of resilient children? → How do you avoid parenting power struggles? → How do kids develop healthy self-esteem? → What creates emotional resilience in children?

Confused about setting boundaries?

Putting yourself first sounds simple until you actually try to do it. If you've ever said yes when you meant no, shrunk your own needs down before anyone even asked you to, or felt a wave of guilt the second you did something for yourself — this episode is for you. Lauren breaks down why so many women struggle to make themselves the priority in their own lives, and why it has nothing to do with being weak or not knowing better. From the way we're conditioned from childhood to center everyone else, to codependency patterns that hide behind generosity, to the attachment wounds that make self-advocacy feel like a threat — this episode names what's actually underneath the pattern so you can start seeing it clearly.Stay connected here Connect with me on Instagram  Please email me here: Lauren@ohyeahcoaching.comApply for coaching HEREWould You Date You?

Every new manager has the potential to hit the same wall: burnout. The workload is real — but the thing that tips you over is a boundary problem you probably don't even see. In this episode, Jen breaks down the 3 boundaries new managers need to prevent burnout: ↳ Upward boundaries — When your boss keeps adding scope and after-hours demands  ↳ Downward boundaries — When you absorb your team's problems and underperformance ↳ Lateral boundaries — When you volunteer for peer requests and committee work Overfunctioning isn't dedication. It's a boundary failure — and on top of an already heavy workload, it leads straight to burnout. If you're noticing early burnout symptoms like chronic exhaustion, resentment toward your team, or the feeling that everything depends on you, this is the episode to listen to before it gets worse. Whether you're a first-time manager, a newly promoted team lead, or someone stepping into leadership development for the first time, these boundary strategies will help you protect your energy and actually lead instead of just surviving.

Have you ever set a boundary, chosen yourself, or walked away from a situation you knew wasn't healthy only to find yourself overwhelmed with guilt, anxiety, self-doubt, or the urge to go back?If so, you're not alone.In this episode, Dr. Kelly Kessler explores one of the biggest misconceptions about boundaries: the hard part isn't setting them. The hard part is staying loyal to yourself afterward.You'll learn why choosing yourself can trigger anxiety, guilt, overthinking, and the pull back into old patterns of self-abandonment. Kelly explains how the nervous system often interprets disappointing others, creating conflict, or stepping outside familiar roles as a threat, making it difficult to maintain boundaries even when you know they're right for you.In this episode, you'll discover:• Why boundaries often feel harder after you've set them• The connection between guilt, people-pleasing, and self-abandonment• Why your mind spirals and your body reacts after choosing yourself• How fear of rejection, conflict, and disappointing others keeps you stuck• The difference between setting a boundary and staying loyal to yourself• How to build the nervous system capacity to stop abandoning yourselfIf you've ever found yourself taking back a boundary, overexplaining your decisions, or questioning whether you're being selfish for honoring your needs, this conversation will help you understand what's really happening beneath the surface.Because the goal isn't simply setting boundaries.The goal is becoming the woman who can stay connected to herself even when guilt, fear, uncertainty, and other people's expectations try to pull her back into self-abandonment.Connect with Kelly:Ready to go deeper?If this episode resonated, start with my free Self-Abandonment Audit — a powerful first step to uncover where you may be putting everyone else first, overriding your needs, or talking yourself out of what you know is right for you.Get the audit here:⁠https://drkellykessler.com/selfaudit⁠Ready for more support?

Sandra Beck of Coach Talk Radio sits down with relationship expert Duana Welch to talk about one of the most delicate family dynamics—integrating your partner's children into your home. Blending families isn't just about logistics. It's about expectations, boundaries, and emotional undercurrents that can quickly create tension if they're not addressed directly. In this episode, Dr. Welch breaks down how to establish respect without overstepping, how to communicate with your partner as a unified team, and how to create structure that supports everyone in the household. The conversation also tackles common missteps—trying too hard to be liked, avoiding conflict, or failing to define roles early—and how those choices can backfire over time. Instead, you'll get practical strategies to build trust, maintain balance, and navigate the gray areas that come with blended family life. If you're living this reality—or considering it—this episode offers a grounded approach that prioritizes clarity, consistency, and long-term stability. Coach Talk Radio is available on Audible, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, iHeartRadio, Stitcher, Player FM, and Podcast Addict.

In this episode, Dr. Stuart Slavin is joined by Julie Beckerdite, director of education for the Departments of Pathology and Psychiatry, and Carrie Racsumberger, fellowship program manager in the Department of Pathology - both at Mass General Brigham. Together, they share insights from their work on the ACGME Coordinator Advisory Group in a practical conversation on the relationships that shape the program coordinator role in graduate medical education (GME).

They share strategies for setting expectations early, communicating effectively, and addressing common issues like delayed responses, professionalism concerns, and recurring administrative demands. They also emphasize the importance of establishing clear boundaries with the support of leadership while maintaining a respectful, collaborative approach that promotes accountability and teamwork. The conversation highlights the meaningful connections coordinators build with residents/fellows, and the important role they play in supporting professional development and fostering psychological safety within programs. Throughout the discussion, Beckerdite and Racsumberger emphasize perspective-taking, consistency, and the value of strong relationships in navigating difficult situations.

You say yes when you mean no.You smile through disrespect. You swallow words that deserve to be spoken. You let people cross lines you didn't even know you were allowed to draw.And then you wonder why your body aches in places medicine can't explain. Why exhaustion isn't fixed by rest. Why resentment builds in spaces you can't name.Here's the truth they didn't tell you: Anger is not the problem. The suppression of anger is the problem.You were taught that good people don't get mad. That anger is destructive. That keeping the peace is more important than keeping yourself whole.So you buried something vital. You buried your RIGHTEOUS RAGE CIRCUIT — the critical system in your brain designed to protect you, to say no more, to draw the sacred line.But rage isn't what they told you it was.At its root, rage is passion. It is the fire that says: I matter. My needs are real. I deserve to take up space.And when you bury that fire, you don't extinguish it. You just force it underground where it burns differently — as chronic pain, as autoimmune flare-ups, as depression that no amount of gratitude journaling can touch.Let me explain how this works neurologically.Your brain runs a system — the rage circuit — rooted in your amygdala and hypothalamus. When activated, it releases adrenaline and cortisol. It sharpens your focus. It mobilizes your body. It prepares you to protect what matters.In its healthy expression, this is the energy of boundaries. Of assertiveness. Of passion that builds rather than destroys.If anger is allowed to flow appropriately, it does its job and moves through.If anger is suppressed chronically, it doesn't disappear. It rewires your nervous system into a state of constant, silent defense.Your body stays tight. Your jaw clenches without you noticing. Your shoulders carry weight that isn't yours. And over time, the suppression itself becomes the wound.Here's how the vow forms: If expressing anger was punished in your early environment — if a raised voice meant danger, if asserting yourself led to abandonment, if conflict taught you that feeling strongly equals being unsafe — your brain made a deal.Suppress the fire. Keep the peace.Disappear if necessary.The internal dialogue cement unconscious vows like … - I must suppress my anger - It's dangerous to be assertive - I must avoid conflict at all costs to be invisible This is your operating system running beneath everything — your relationships, your career, compounding your body's chronic tension.These vows were wise when they very much did feel like protection. They kept you safe in environments that couldn't hold your full power.But you are no longer that small. And the fire does not have to stay buried.I want to be very clear about something: Healthy anger is not violence. It is vitality.It is the part of you that refuses to betray yourself one more time. It is the energy that says this far, no further. It is the force that protects what you love — including yourself.If you've been taught that anger makes you a bad person, then you've been taught to abandon yourself at the first sign of discomfort.And that is not spiritual. That is not evolved. It's just another way of shutting down and disappearing.FLIP IT.Instead, gently turn toward your heart—where the hurt still lives and the lingering anger quietly simmers.I created this 10-minute audio journey to help you meet the part of yourself that carries this fire. Not to unleash it recklessly, but to restore it as a source of strength, clarity, and healthy boundaries.In this frequency-based experience, we explore The Fire of Passion—the RAGE circuit that fuels your assertiveness, courage, and ability to protect what matters.If you've ever struggled to say “no,” stand up for yourself, or express anger without shame, this holds the key.The immersion supports you in:* Releasing chronic people-pleasing and self-abandonment* Reconnecting with healthy anger as a source of vitality* Softening stored tension in the body* Building nervous system safety around assertiveness* Reclaiming your personal power—without aggressionEasily Listen Here. This journey was co-created with our resident intuitive guide, who masterfully works with the 7 emotive circuits that shape your reality. The frequency-based design creates spaciousness in your nervous system—so your natural curiosity can return, free from pressure or performance.After you listen, I invite you to explore the unconscious vows that may still be keeping your fire contained.For just $7/month, you'll receive all 5 guides plus the complete 5-Layer Trauma-Informed healing process.This isn't about becoming more aggressive.It's about coming home to the full spectrum of your aliveness—where healthy anger is no longer the problem…but the power that finally finds its way back to you.And that is the bravest kind of beginning.

Setting boundaries in a narcissistic relationship isn't just hard — it can feel impossible. In this Community Chat, Renee is joined by 2 ladies from the CNG community for an honest conversation about what boundaries really looked like in their relationships with covert narcissists. They talk about growing up without healthy boundary models, what happened when they tried to voice even the most basic needs, and how guilt, fear, and exhaustion became part of their everyday lives. Miranda shares what it felt like to finally set a boundary and have it met with encouragement instead of punishment. Nicole opens up about the years she spent scripting conversations perfectly — only to have them blow up anyway — and the moment she stopped taking the bait. If you've ever felt like your needs were too much, been guilt-tripped for asking for basic respect, or wondered why something so simple felt so terrifying, this episode will help you feel seen. Topics covered: Why boundaries were absent or unmodeled in childhood What happens when you set a boundary with a narcissist The guilt that comes even when you know the boundary is right The exhaustion of over-explaining and people pleasing What it feels like the first time a boundary is actually respected How to start setting boundaries when you're scared The Covert Narcissism Podcast is for educational and informational purposes only.

What's up, y'all? Welcome back to Damn We Grown! On this beautiful Wednesday, Mike and Tiff are sliding some serious soul into your feed, and they didn't come alone. This week, they are joined by the soulful, sultry, ready-to-save-the-world therapist extraordinaire, Shimeka Arnold!The couch gets real comfortable real quick as Shimeka drops absolute gems on everything from her early days as an elementary school conflict counselor (shout out to the yellow shirts!) to the profound impact of epigenetics and generational trauma in the Black community.But the real breakthrough happens when the conversion flips to relationships, mental health, and the specific pressures Black men face. Mike gets put in the hot seat about his own hesitation toward therapy, leading to a powerful, paradigm-shifting breakdown of what "strength" actually means. Shimeka completely deconstructs the colonizer-ingrained mindset that men have to carry everything alone, explaining why vulnerability isn't a weakness—and why a true partner is there to help share the emotional weight.From hilarious breakdowns of "energy vampires" and how to hit them with boundaries, to a legendary analysis of a classic James Baldwin and Nikki Giovanni discussion, this episode balances deep, therapeutic wisdom with the signature comedic chemistry you love.Plus, Shimeka leaves the listeners with some powerful, free energy-work mantras to help shift your mind, protect your peace, and transform your daily life.Contact Shimeka for all your therapy needs and energy work.www.LovelyDayFamilyTherapy.com@LovelyDayFamilyTherapy

This week on Oversharing, Jordana and Dr. Naomi unpack why it can feel more upsetting when someone quietly backs out of a commitment than when they simply say no. A listener writes in after a friend offers to dog-sit, only to seemingly retract the offer without actually owning the change of heart. The hosts discuss the difference between setting boundaries and avoiding discomfort, why indirect communication can feel so invalidating, and how a little honesty can go a long way in preserving trust. Plus, they share advice for navigating disappointment when expectations don't match reality. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Morning Mantra: "I own my words, thoughts, and actions. I don't own your reaction to them. “Setting limits with toxic people doesn't mean you're not concerned about the feelings of others. It simply means you recognize the importance of your peace. Your peace of mind should be the most important thing. If someone reacts strongly to your boundaries that's on them.  So pay attention to when people react with anger and hostility to your boundaries.  You have found the line where their respect for you ends.It's never really about your boundary. It's about their emotional immaturity.  Boundaries set limits that reveal emotional immaturity.  But you, just like everyone else are allowed to have limits to what you will tolerate.#BeOKWithBoundaries #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwned #HorseHippieBoutique #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBoutique

When someone you love is in real, chronic pain — how do you set a boundary without feeling like a monster? This episode tackles one of the most complex and underaddressed dynamics in narcissistic abuse recovery: what happens when covert narcissism and chronic illness exist in the same relationship. Prompted by a heartfelt question from a listener in a long-term marriage, this episode explores how legitimate vulnerability — illness, mental health struggles, financial hardship — can become a tool for guilt and obligation in the hands of a covert narcissist. We walk through the caretaker trap, how caring people get conditioned into carrying everything, and the crucial difference between supporting someone and being responsible for them. You'll also learn what it looks like to set boundaries with empathy — not harshly, not meanly, but firmly and with care — even when the person on the other side is genuinely suffering. If you've ever felt guilty for having limits, this episode is for you. Topics include: The caretaker trap Legitimate vulnerabilities used as leverage Difference between support and responsibility How a narcissist responds when you try to step back Wetting boundaries with empathy in chronic illness situations.

In this episode, we're getting real about boundaries (the kind we know we need but don't always set ). We talk through our own experiences with grief, support, and how community has shifted—from in-person friendships to more online connections. We also dive into balancing advocacy, friendships, and actually having time for ourselves. Friendships look different in every season, and finding your people—whatever that looks like—matters more than ever. Consider this your reminder that taking care of yourself isn't optional.

Whether you are a father yourself or reflecting on your relationship with your own dad, this conversation offers profound insights into modern masculinity and the enduring power of internal wisdom.   Key Takeaways • The Wisdom Gap: Why "time-on" experience often beats textbook knowledge and high IQ in the real world. • Breaking the Cycle: Moving away from the physical discipline of previous generations to find more constructive ways to set boundaries. • Individualized Parenting: The importance of meeting each child where they are, acknowledging their unique personalities and genetic makeup. • Family as the Tribe: Insights from Gabor Maté's Hold On To Your Kids on why parents must remain the primary influencers in their children's lives rather than peer groups. • Reconciliation & Accountability: A powerful story of how standing your ground as a parent can lead to long-term respect and healing.   Connect with Guests: Drew Norton - https://www.facebook.com/nortonaw89/ David Harker - https://x.com/intuitiveops Rich Baker - https://www.linkedin.com/in/therichbaker/ Alvin Law - https://www.facebook.com/alvintoeslaw/ Stephon Brown - https://www.linkedin.com/in/seth-brown-74703340/ Phillip McDonald - https://www.facebook.com/phillip.j.mcdonald   Connect with Doug Beitz: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dougbeitz/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dougbeitz/ Website: https://buymeacoffee.com/dougbeitz Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6mQ258nugC3lyw3SpvYuoK?si=7cec409527d34438 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/intuitive-conversations-with-doug/id1593172364 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/doug-beitz-472a4b338/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dougbeitz178   Keywords: Fatherhood, Modern Masculinity, Generational Wisdom, Parenting Tips for Men, Father-Son Relationships, Breaking the Cycle of Abuse, The Abundant Man Project, Gabor Maté Parenting, Setting Boundaries with Adult Children, Mentoring Sons, Disciplining with Wisdom, Male Coaching, Family Dynamics   Episode Timestamps:   •  00:00 – Introduction: The Theme of Fatherhood •  00:59 – The Wisdom Gap: Why IQ Isn't Everything •  05:03 – Guest Spotlight: Drew & The Abundant Man Project •  06:53 – Breaking the Cycle: Moving Beyond Physical Discipline •  11:11 – Evolving as Men: Ending the Cycle of Abuse •  12:17 – The Family Matrix: Mental Health & Step-Parenting •  15:01 – Standing Your Ground: The Power of Accountability •  17:50 – Guided Parenting vs. The "Hands-Off" Approach •  19:49 – Parenting Four Boys: Radical Differences & Individual Needs •  21:32 – Nature vs. Nurture: Meeting Kids Where They Are •  22:45 – Recommended Reading: Gabor Maté's "Hold On To Your Kids" •  26:13 – Family Identity: Retreats, Roles, and Self-Care •  35:00 – Generational Cycles: The Rise and Fall of Values •  43:40 – The Art of Tough Love: Challenging Perspectives •  45:04 – Shifting Narratives: Changing a Young Man's Worldview •  49:07 – The Search for Positive Masculine Role Models •  51:02 – Character Over Performance: What's Inside Matters •  56:32 – The Role Model Phase: Moving Toward Self-Leadership •  59:08 – Visualizing the Best Version of Yourself •  01:00:37 – Instilling Core Beliefs: The Final Goal of Parenting •  01:02:24 – Closing Remarks & Healthy Masculinity

In this heartfelt episode of The Spiritual Cupcake Podcast, Candace explores what it truly means to show up as yourself—fully, honestly, and unapologetically. Inspired by a TV show where each family member expressed themselves freely (even when it created tension), this episode reflects on the contrast so many of us feel in our own lives. The pressure to keep things smooth. The habit of walking on eggshells. The quiet tendency to shrink, soften, or stay silent just to avoid conflict. But what if being real doesn't have to break relationships? What if things can feel messy… and still be safe? What if disagreement isn't rejection? This episode is a gentle but powerful reminder that: You don't have to be perfect to belong You don't have to stay quiet to be loved And you are allowed to take up space—even if it ruffles a few feathers Because real relationships aren't built on perfection… they're built on truth.

FREE RESOURCE:  Try our Burnout Archetype Quiz: https://twc-jqgxs.involve.me/archetype-quiz In this episode of Wild Medicine, Dr. Michelle Peris explores the themes of self-trust, the Wild Woman archetype, and the impact of good girl conditioning on women's emotional awareness and relationships.  She discusses the importance of understanding sensory data, setting boundaries, and recognizing incongruence in relationships.  The conversation emphasizes the need for effective communication skills and the cost of overanalyzing interactions.  Dr. Peris also introduces the concept of the fawn response, highlighting how hypervigilance can lead to disconnection from one's own needs and desires.  In this conversation, Dr. Michelle Peris delves into the complexities of overthinking, the impact of good girl conditioning, and the importance of setting boundaries. She emphasizes how the nervous system plays a crucial role in our responses to perceived threats and how societal conditioning can lead to self-doubt and compliance.  Through personal anecdotes and insights, she encourages women to trust their instincts and recognize the data their bodies provide, ultimately advocating for a more empowered and authentic way of living.   Takeaways The Wild Woman archetype encourages women to embrace their true selves. Good girl conditioning can lead to a lack of self-trust. Understanding sensory data is crucial for setting boundaries. Congruence in relationships is essential for emotional health. Overanalyzing others' behaviour can lead to confusion and resentment. Effective communication skills are vital for expressing needs. The fawn response can cause disconnection from one's own emotions. Rewilding involves reclaiming one's emotional awareness. Self-trust is foundational for healthy relationships. The cost of not addressing incongruence in relationships is high. Your nervous system is trained to protect you from perceived danger. Good girl conditioning leads to a deep association between compliance and self-worth. Setting boundaries can feel threatening due to past conditioning. Overanalyzing relationships often stems from a desire for safety. The discomfort you feel is a signal of an imbalance, not a betrayal. Honesty in relationships fosters intimacy and connection. Women often struggle to set boundaries due to fear of conflict. Recognizing the mismatch between words and actions is crucial for self-trust. Small adjustments in behaviour can lead to healthier boundaries. Trusting your own data is essential for personal empowerment.   Chapters 00:00 Introduction and Personal Reflections 04:10 Exploring the Wild Woman Archetype 06:41 The Good Girl Tax and Self-Trust 09:10 Understanding Sensory Data and Boundaries 11:34 The Importance of Congruence in Relationships 13:57 Navigating Incongruence and Self-Trust 16:54 The Role of Hypervigilance in Good Girl Conditioning 19:25 Rewilding and Emotional Awareness 21:57 The Cost of Overanalyzing Relationships 24:49 Communication Skills and Emotional Processing 26:48 The Fawn Response and Emotional Regulation 36:45 Understanding the Nervous System's Role in Overthinking 38:05 The Impact of Good Girl Conditioning 40:04 Recognizing the Mismatch Between Words and Action 43:01 The Exhaustion of Overanalyzing Relationships 45:57 The Cost of Inaction and Overanalysis 50:23 The Importance of Setting Boundaries 55:20 Navigating the Fear of Being Seen as Difficult 59:07 Practical Steps to Adjust Boundaries 01:03:14 Understanding the Nervous System's Response to Boundaries 01:06:38 Building Trust in Oneself Through Data Awareness   Stay Wild.

It can be such a fine line between helping and enabling, between supporting someone we love and trying to save them. When you're in it, it's hard to see clearly. You feel their pain, and everything in you wants to make it better.In this episode, I share from my own experience and from the Recover Your Soul process about what it really means to love someone without trying to fix them. This isn't about finding the “right” answer, because every relationship and every situation is unique. It's about turning inward and beginning to recognize when we are acting from fear and discomfort, and when we are responding from a more grounded, soulful place.So often, our desire to help comes from not wanting to feel the pain of watching someone struggle. But what if peace doesn't come from changing them? What if it comes from acceptance?As we shift from saving to supporting, we begin to let go of control and trust that each soul is on its own journey. We can still love deeply, still be present, but from a place of clarity, compassion, and healthier boundaries.If you're feeling overwhelmed or unsure of how to show up for someone you love, you are not alone. This is the work, and there is another way.Remember, this isn't about fixing yourself. It's about recovering the wholeness that has always been within you.Send a one way text to Rev Rachel

Pre-Order new book, The Price of Becoming www.LearningLeader.com/Becoming This is brought to you by Insight Global. If you need to hire one person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world has the hustle and grit to deliver My Guest: Dr. Nicole LePera is the creator of The Holistic Psychologist, a platform with over 12 million followers, and the author of three New York Times bestselling books, including her newest, Reparenting the Inner Child. Key Learnings: Nicole was good at everything, so struggling meant failure. Her family's message was clear: success in life meant financial security through academics or athletics. The implicit message: you're worthy when you're bringing home A's, when you're winning the softball game. She quickly learned to identify things she wasn't immediately good at and just not pursue them. She filtered life, staying on the path of comfort. Your childhood adaptations don't leave. Nicole calls it the inner child. It doesn't matter how old you are or how far beyond your childhood you think you've gotten. It impacts you in reactions, in identities, in your way of being. What was once your best attempt at safety, security, or connection still drives behavior today. Not all adaptations are problems. Many continue to benefit us. The question isn't whether the adaptation is good or bad. The question is: are you choosing it, or is it choosing you? Nicole's drive for achievement created opportunities. It led to massive impact. But she still has the overachiever who wants to blow past her limits and say yes when she's exhausted but means no.   The Holistic Psychologist started in 2018, and Nicole had no idea it would explode. She was living in Philadelphia, operating within a private practice model. Within the first year, people from around the world were resonating, joining, and interested in working with her in this new way. But at the beginning, even learning how to speak on camera was such a big challenge. Her partner would say, "Say what you said to me earlier," and Nicole's mind would go blank. Just putting a camera in front of her was near debilitating. Boundaries are about knowing who and when to take feedback from. Sometimes the feedback from a loved one, while uncomfortable, is helpful to hear. Other times, it's a helpful boundary where you're not opening yourself up to the opinion of someone who has a different vantage point or is speaking from their own projection. That's allowed Nicole to create safety in herself, confidence in herself, which translates to flow. Several years in, Nicole's dad sat front row at her book event, crying with pride. In the beginning, her dad and mom would ask, "Why do you have to use us as the example? Why do you have to share about our family?" Nicole would explain: " This is the only experience I can speak from, and our family's experience is so common. To see her dad, who came from a family largely shut down emotionally, crying in understanding and pride, was overwhelming and validating for why she does this work. At 13, Nicole was getting straight A's but unraveling on the inside. She was socially shy, struggled to order food at restaurants, and had very few friends. Then she discovered alcohol and pot made her feel comfortable. That anxiety she lived with suddenly felt freer. She would stumble through the living room at night, her parents already in bed, then wake up at 6:00 AM the next day, pitch a softball tournament, win it, and seemingly be fine. Her parents had no idea. She was very good at suppressing her emotions and coping. By contrast, on the surface, it seemed like she was doing well. They were a family who didn't really talk about emotions, so they had no indication. The drive itself isn't the problem. It's the energy that inspires action. Nicole's dad worked into the night to support the family. Her mom would say, "why not 100?" when Nicole brought home a 96. That translated into drive and ambition. That's not a problem. For a lot of us, it's the energy that inspires action and translates into impact. It can become a problem when we have no limits to our working, where we exhaust ourselves and burn out, where we don't feel worthy in moments of inaction or rest. The marker of a healthy relationship with drive is flexibility. When you're forced to stop because you're sick, exhausted, emotionally overwhelmed, or someone else needs you, can you be flexible enough to do that without feeling terrible about yourself? The ability to choose to say, "Okay, contextually speaking, I need to pause," and still feel okay about yourself, that's the marker.   Hold space for both: acknowledging harm and taking agency. Other people have contributed to our discomfort. Maybe parents didn't meet our needs. If we don't acknowledge that, we suppress. But we also can't stay stuck in anger and resentment. A true boundary isn't demanding that someone else be different. That's still giving away your agency. A true boundary is saying: you've hurt me, and I'm gonna take responsibility that I'm allowing it. I'm gonna show up differently now to limit the impact of what you're doing. Talking about trauma can keep it alive in your body. Trauma doesn't live in logic and understanding. It lives in your body. It lives in habits and reactions. Your mind is so powerful that you can think something and feel as if you're living it in that moment. If you're going week after week talking about all the things that are hurting you, you're continuing to keep that alive in your body. Holistic psychology bridges the gap between mind and body. Traditional psychology focused solely on the mind. The CBT model says if we think differently, we produce different feelings, then different actions. But Nicole was missing the body. Our nervous system, our earliest environments, neurobiologically created patterns wired into us. Science now shows we maintain the ability to change throughout our lives. Drop into your body. Where is your attention right now? Are you feeling your muscles, your heels impacting the earth, where you're sitting? Or are you so lost in thought you're disconnected? Jaw clenched? Fists clenched? Shoulders up to your ears? Holding your breath? Breathing short and quick from your chest? These are markers that your body is under stress right now. Once you have that information, make small shifts. Slow and deepen your breath. Elongate your exhale just a little longer than your inhale. If your movements are quick, slow them down. If you're holding tension, release it. Now you're regulating your body so you can show up differently. Meditation is just awareness. It's not sitting cross-legged trying to make your mind quiet. Life can be a meditative experience. Thoughts are helpful. They're where we create things, have insights. The goal isn't a blank, quiet mind. The goal is awareness. Nicole calls it her spaceship. Her protective habit for so long has been to dissociate, to disconnect. She pursued clinical psychology where she can live in her mind. When what she's feeling in her body is too uncomfortable, the quickest path out is to distract herself with someone else, with the next achievement. This work has made Nicole's relationships more real. More authentic. More grounded in vulnerability, messiness, emotion as opposed to curated versions of who she thinks she needs to be. What she's most familiar with is dealing with all her feelings alone. The Harvard study found one thing leads to a happy life: love. Ryan referenced the longitudinal Harvard study that has gone on for 90 years studying what leads to a happy life. At the end of the day, it's love. The ones who live the happiest, longest, most fruitful lives are surrounded by people they love and who love them.  What a gift it is to be loved for all of yourself, not just the perfect parts. When you can show someone all of yourself, your messiness, the things you hid and kept secret, and still be loved. The overachiever gets to show more parts of herself, and people don't abandon her. They stay. That's the love most of us are striving for. We are all a bunch of messy humans trying to figure it out as we go. Nicole's champagne moment a year from now: presence and beingness. Whatever is happening or not happening in her life, she's celebrating the celebration of that moment. Being alive. Feeling the gratitude, the joy. Not focusing on what was produced to give her the opportunity to celebrate, but being present to the life around her. The taste of the champagne, the humans surrounding her in that moment.  Reflection Questions Which childhood adaptations are still driving your behavior today? Are you choosing them, or are they choosing you? When was the last time you actually dropped into your body and checked: am I tense? Am I holding my breath? Am I stressed? Who in your life sees all of you, not just the polished version, and loves you anyway?

The conversation focuses on how leaders can better understand mental health dynamics, set appropriate boundaries, and support members effectively. Key Insights Understanding Mental Health Trends: Dr. Kane highlights the rise of “gray divorce,” where older couples are increasingly seeking divorce after decades of marriage, often due to lack of growth and connection in their relationships. Boundaries in Leadership: Leaders must establish clear boundaries to protect their mental health and avoid overstepping into roles that require professional training, such as therapy. This includes recognizing when to refer members to mental health professionals. Curiosity Over Judgment: Leaders should approach conversations with curiosity rather than jumping to conclusions. Asking open-ended questions can help members feel safe and understood, allowing for more effective support. Recognizing Mental Health Issues: Leaders need to differentiate between spiritual struggles and mental health issues. Persistent feelings of disconnection from the spirit may indicate underlying mental health concerns that require professional intervention. Communication with Professionals: When referring members to therapists, leaders should ensure that proper releases of information are signed, allowing for effective communication between the therapist and the church leader. Leadership Applications Establishing Clear Expectations: Leaders can set the tone for their interactions by clarifying that they are not therapists and that they will refer members to professionals when necessary. This helps manage expectations and reduces the risk of burnout. Promoting Open Dialogue: By fostering an environment of curiosity and openness, leaders can encourage members to share their struggles without fear of judgment, leading to more meaningful support and connection. Utilizing Resources Wisely: Leaders should leverage available resources, such as mental health professionals, to assist members effectively while maintaining their own well-being. This includes participating in training sessions to better understand mental health dynamics and how to address them. 00:02:00 – Mental Health Trends: Gray Divorce 00:04:00 – Dynamics of Empty Nesters and Relationships 00:05:30 – Vision for Mental Health Content Creation 00:06:00 – Importance of Understanding Mental Health for Leaders 00:08:00 – Navigating Shame, Guilt, and Godly Sorrow 00:10:00 – Boundaries in Leadership Roles 00:12:00 – Comparing Bishop and Therapist Roles 00:14:00 – Recognizing Depression vs. Spiritual Issues 00:16:00 – Setting Boundaries in Conversations 00:18:00 – Importance of Curiosity in Leadership 00:20:00 – Referring to Professional Therapists 00:22:00 – Communicating with Therapists: Best Practices 00:24:00 – Managing High-Risk Conversations 00:26:00 – Maintaining Trust in Confidentiality 00:28:00 – Addressing Secrets in Relationships 00:30:00 – Importance of Self-Care for Leaders 00:32:00 – Strengthening Family and Ward Culture 00:34:00 – Addressing Feelings of Loneliness Among Women 00:36:00 – Upcoming Topics for Mental Health Discussions The award-winning Leading Saints Podcast is one of the top independent Latter-day Saints podcasts as part of nonprofit Leading Saints’ mission to help Latter-day Saints be better prepared to lead.

Send us Fan MailIn this week's episode 349 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I'm zooming out on everything we've covered about time and energy boundaries to talk about the hardest part of all: the guilt you feel and the reactions you get when you start changing your patterns.Because boundaries aren't really about managing your life—they're about whether you stay with yourself or abandon yourself. In this episode, I walk you through what actually happens before, during, and after you set a boundary, and how to support yourself through the discomfort that comes with it.Some of the talking points I go over in this episode include:Why the hardest part of boundaries isn't setting them—it's managing the emotional discomfort before and after.How guilt doesn't mean you've done something wrong, but that you're breaking an old pattern.Why anchoring your boundaries in your values makes it easier to stay firm without second-guessing yourself.How to understand pushback from others without taking it as evidence that you did something wrong.The shift from trying to control others to focusing on what you will and won't do.One of the most important shifts in this episode is this:Other people's reactions are not evidence that you've done something wrong—they're simply evidence that something has changed.As you begin to stay with yourself through discomfort, guilt, and pushback, something powerful starts to happen. You build trust with yourself. And over time, boundaries stop being something you have to think about—and become something you live.Boundaries don't create problems. They reveal them. And that clarity is what allows real change to happen.Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of practical tips on living a more whole life and to hear even more about the points outlined above.Thank you for listening!
