In this episode of The Art of Raising Humans, Kyle and Sara explore one of the most common questions they get from parents:“Is it really possible to discipline without punishment or consequences like time-outs, threats, or spanking?”When they became parents, Kyle and Sara struggled to imagine parenting without those tools—they believed punishment was an essential part of discipline. But as they dug deeper into the research and began working with families, they discovered that true discipline doesn't rely on fear or control.They unpack the meaning of the word “discipline” (which comes from disciple) and how that changes the way we show up with our kids. When discipline becomes something we do with our children—rather than to them—it opens the door to connection, emotional growth, and lasting change.They also discuss:What research says about the long-term effects of punishmentHow parents can guide their kids toward growth and responsibility without fear or shameHow to begin reimagining your parenting toolboxThis conversation is the beginning of a much bigger journey—one we'll continue exploring in future episodes. If this topic resonates or challenges you, stay with us.

In this episode, Molly revisits one of the most important conversations around changing your relationship with alcohol—how shame can keep you stuck, and how to break free from the shame spiral.This episode is a spring break replay, and for good reason—it's one of Molly's favorites and a foundational message for anyone working to become an alcohol minimalist.In this episode, you'll learn:What shame really is and how it's different from guiltWhy shame is especially destructive for daily habit drinkersThe role shame played in Molly's personal journey with alcoholHow shame often masks itself as “powerlessness” and leads to hiding, isolation, and more drinkingWhy understanding your thoughts is the key to disrupting shameThree science-informed strategies to stop the shame spiral: Name it – acknowledging shame takes away its powerSelf-compassion – treating yourself like you'd treat a friendSeparate your thoughts from your identity – you are not your drinking behaviorYou'll also hear:A powerful quote from Brené Brown on the unspeakable nature of shameHow common narratives (like the AA concept of “powerlessness”) may unintentionally reinforce shameWhy living in the gains rather than the gap is essential for motivation and long-term changeTakeaway Message:Shame doesn't help you change. In fact, it keeps you stuck. The pathway to lasting transformation starts with understanding your thoughts, practicing self-compassion, and learning how to disrupt the automatic cycles that have been running your drinking habit.Resources Mentioned:Brené Brown's definition of shamePrevious episodes on “The Gap and The Gain” (Think Thursday episodes)Tools for becoming a better thinker and understanding your brainWant more support?Check out our programs at www.mollywatts.com or join our free Facebook group Alcohol Minimalists: Change Your Drinking Habits. You're not alone—and you are absolutely capable of creating peace with alcohol.Low risk drinking guidelines from the NIAAA:Healthy men under 65:No more than 4 drinks in one day and no more than 14 drinks per week.Healthy women (all ages) and healthy men 65 and older:No more than 3 drinks in one day and no more than 7 drinks per week.One drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor. So remember that a mixed drink or full glass of wine are probably more than one drink.Abstinence from alcoholAbstinence from alcohol is the best choice for people who take medication(s) that interact with alcohol, have health conditions that could be exacerbated by alcohol (e.g. liver disease), are pregnant or may become pregnant or have had a problem with alcohol or another substance in the past.Benefits of “low-risk” drinkingFollowing these guidelines reduces the risk of health problems such as cancer, liver disease, reduced immunity, ulcers, sleep problems, complications of existing conditions, and more. It also reduces the risk of depression, social problems, and difficulties at school or work. ★ Support this podcast ★
In today's episode, Matt Van Der Laar joins us for a deep conversation on the topics of obesity, processed foods, and the shame-driven messaging often found on social media. We explore how fear-mongering and oversimplified comparisons—like equating processed foods to smoking cigarettes—overlook deeper issues such as emotional regulation, mental health, and societal factors that contribute to obesity.We share our frustration with harmful narratives that ignore the true root causes of obesity, and we highlight the roles of empathy, proper education, support systems, and even GLP-1s in making lasting, meaningful changes. We also discuss how parenting plays a pivotal role in building healthy relationships with food and movement, emphasizing that the obesity conversation must move beyond shaming and judgment to focus on support, mental health, and practical solutions for both children and adults.“It's almost never the food. It's the way we're using food to cope with everything that we have going on in our lives.”- Matt Van Der Laar“If you're only taking these drugs, but you're not addressing the mental and emotional side of things, then it's just another fad diet for you.”- Matt Van Der LaarThis week on Here's the Deal:The harmful comparison of processed foods to smoking and how it perpetuates fear and shameHow obesity and being overweight is more about emotional regulation, coping mechanisms, and access and affordability than just food and “laziness”The role of GLP-1 medications for those who need them, and the stigmatization that surrounds their useWhy movement, not just diet, is crucial for combating obesity in adults and childrenThe importance of empathy and understanding people's unique struggles with food and healthThe significance of community involvement, such as community gardens, in helping children and families access healthier foodsHow parents can help their children develop a healthy relationship with all foods, including highly processed onesHow parents can help their kids develop a healthy love of movementConnect with Matt Van Der Laar:Matt on Mindful Eating (podcast episode with Brooke)Matt Van Der Laar on InstagramMatt Van Der Laar on FacebookFit Fat TrainingCut the Crap with Beth and Matt PodcastThanks for tuning in to this week's episode of Here's the Deal: Fitness, Nutrition, and Mindset for People Who Don't Want Life to Suck, where we challenge the common understanding of what it means and what it takes to be fit and healthy!

Shame is one of the most devious emotions. It tricks us into thinking we are the shame. Shame has to be addressed as a part of our healing process. We will stay stuck as long as we think we are the shame. Stuck believing that something is wrong with us and that we can't heal.The wonderful news is that we can heal and get free from shame, and one of the first places to start is to disidentify from it.In this episode, we look at the following:What is shameWhat is the difference between guilt and shameHow do we become identified with shameHow do we get addicted to shameHow do we disidentify from shame and start to healHow can we retrain ourselves to love ourselves and not feel shameThis is such an important episode, and understanding these principles was a milestone in my healing process.

Welcome to another episode of Losing Part of Me! Why I needed to stop drinking. I have chosen my words very carefully. I haven't said why I wanted to. It really was very much I needed to stop. That I could not carry on the way I was going.Before we jump into it, I want to share something that helped share this story – my journal. Those morning reflections have become a valuable resource, offering a raw look into my mindset during those challenging times. Growing up, alcohol was always present in my life. It wasn't just a weekend indulgence; it was part of our daily routine. My childhood experiences with alcohol set the stage for how it would intertwine with my adult life. Fast forward to the present, and I found myself constantly thinking about alcohol, attempting various strategies to control my consumption.I tried moderation, limiting drinks per night, avoiding drinking alone, and even planned dry spells. None of it worked. My daily routine became a revolving door of excuses to drink – to celebrate, to cope, to escape. I envied those who could stop after a couple of drinks, a feat I could never achieve.In October 2021, I decided to take a break for a month, which lasted only three weeks. The impact on my health was evident – constant stomach issues, shaky hands, and how I couldn't stop. My attempts to moderate or abstain were futile, and I started questioning if I had a problem.In this episode I also share The effects it was having on my life The constant presence of shameHow drinking showed up in my relationship How much I drank In the next episode, I'll unveil the harsh realities of my excessive drinking, exploring the impact on my life and the not-so-pleasant stories that unfolded. For more updates, connect with me on the Losing Part of Me Instagram account. Until then, sending you so much love – you've got this!

In this episode, I share how you can break free from the chains of closet eating and enjoy food without guilt. We'll also cover ways to develop a healthier, happier relationship with food and let go of the secret eating life that sabotages your weight loss and nutrition goals.What You'll Learn:What is closet eating?The problem with secret eating and how to let go of the shameHow to create healthy eating habitsThe root of closet eatingHow to take responsibility for unnecessary eatingUnderstand that pre-eating is a problemHow to become aware of your closet eatingThe foundations of mindful awareness when eatingThe best way to track what you eatResources: Send me a DM with the word “Ready” on InstagramFind me on FacebookDisrupting ObesityWebsiteInstagramFacebook
Would you like to know a little-known fact? Well, one of the most accessed blog posts on my website is a post titled When a Woman is Addicted to Pornography. It was first published in 2017 and it is still one of the most popular posts.Our world primarily talks about lust and pornography as a “man's problem” but a 2016 Barna study actually found that 20% of Christian women use porn on a regular basis. These women suffer silently and often feel alone with nowhere to turn.My guest, Jessica Harris, totally understands that experience. She's made the journey from being addicted to pornography to being set free. Jessica is recognized as a leading voice talking about female porn use and addiction in the church. Her latest book, Quenched, helps women understand God's abundant grace when struggling with pornography and sexual shame.In this conversation, you'll hear:Jessica's own story of finding freedom from pornThe three signposts of shameHow shame keeps us from running to GodAnd much more!This is such an important topic and I hope this episode opens the door to find hope and spark conversations!Show Notes: https://jillsavage.org/jessica-harris-147

Okay, it's time to get real. Why aren't you manifesting, really? That's right– it's honesty hour over here at TBM. This episode is a breakdown for how to actually be truly, radically honest with yourself about how you're standing in your own way right now. Today. This level of self-awareness is no walk in the park, but it is a crucial element of manifestation. In fact, self-awareness is what this work really all comes down to. We know– easier said than done. That's why we're breaking it down for all of us with Lacy, Jessica, and LMFT Janelle with actionable, loving advice from the manifestation/psychology pros. And a topic like this leads to all the good convo– ego death, coping mechanisms, radical acceptance of your current reality, and how the key to self-awareness is (drumroll, pls) curiosity! This means getting curious about what our patterns, coping & defense mechanisms are, what they mean, and how you can shift them. Why? Because our manifestations are on the other side of all our self-sabotaging behaviors! This episode is the high vibe, energetic reality check we all need– a boost to help you really look in the mirror and kickstart your manifestation process again.

If you've ever felt like you're being put out to pasture, this one's for you. Ageism is toxic and it can stop a woman in her tracks just when she's getting started. In this episode I dive into why I believe that sensual pleasure is the ultimate antidote to ageism.Fear mongering around growing older, especially for women, is rampant. It's really easy to buy into it and it's really easy to internalize it. And I think that's where it becomes the most toxic.Our bodies are always listening and responding to our thoughts and the messages that come at us through society. If we have a narrative of ageism running in our brain it's absolutely going to impact our physical health, our mental health, our radiance, our beauty, our libido, our creativity; everything. Ageism is a form of shame and it blocks our chi, our life force energy. As we head into the third chapter of lives we get hard with with it.Many women who come to my work say things like: “ WTF…I feel like I'm being put out to pasture but I inside I know that there's got to be more.” That knowing is the feminine speaking. The part in everywoman who knows there's more. And there is, so much more. And we have a lot more agency to claim that more than we're led to believe.It's no secret that ageism sells. There are many businesses that profit massively on women being terrified of aging. But it doesn't have to go that way. When we turn towards our sensual pleasure we take back our power. Pleasure is truly the ultimate antidote.Here I riff on:The toxic narrative of ageism and how it impacts usAgeism and shameHow ageism turns us into cash cowsDefying the lie and claiming pleasureHow pleasure connects us to our embodied feminine wisdomEmotional intelligence and body wisdomPleasure and our inner compassYoni wisdom and seeing through the bull shitThe truth and wisdom of midlife rageDesire as a guideTwo recent examples of how ageism was coming at me and my Yoni steered me in right directionSome links for you:Book your free Pleasure Queen Activation Session here.I've got all the details of the Second Spring Queen Program laid out for you in a PDF manual.

Shame serves a purpose. Its job is to help us see where there is a part of us that is contracted beneath the feeling of bad and wrong. It becomes the blanket that keeps us from feeling deeper feelings, deeper truth, vulnerability or compassion for ourselves. On an energetic level, shame contributes to taking on the energy of others, feeling a victim, codependency, and disempowered in the 2nd chakra. Underneath that shame is a powerful feminine energy that is meant to heal and emerge.In this episode, you will learn: Shame and the relationship to your 2nd chakraHow shame formed historically and in your early childhood bondingHow shame contributes to taking on the energy of others and overly-empathic experiencesHow to heal shameHow connecting to the power of your feminine (no matter your gender) heals the shame blanket Give a listen!

I was excited to listen in to Mangala Holland's wisdom because she knows a lot about pleasure and how to support people to find more of it in their lives in a way that is not about looking sexy for other people. No surprises then, that there is some explicit language in this episode. Mangala is a Women's Empowerment and Sexuality coach, and facilitator. She describes herself as being on a mission to help pussy-owners become empowered through loving themselves fiercely, celebrating their sexuality, and overcoming the fear, guilt and shame that keeps them playing small.What I love is that Mangala has a beautiful no-bullshit, fluff-free, grounded, dogma-free style. In this episode we discuss:How we can be confident in our sexuality, especially when we've been brought up in a culture of shameHow to move from numbness to pleasureMangala's journey to an authentic, flowing expression of sexualityWhy ‘shoving things up there' from jade eggs to performance enhancers can create more trauma and block pleasureHow sexual trauma can be played out in ‘healing' groups, re-traumatising and shaming those who don't perform as requiredHow to check-in with yourself and thaw out the numbnessHow to check for a ‘yes' before doing anything downstairsHow sexual problems are more likely to be to do with having a too-tight pelvic floor than too looseHow to build embodied awareness in your genital area and pelvic floorThe toxic power dynamics and abuse present in some tantra organisationsThe problem with selling ‘empowerment'How to tell if a training is safeMoving away from the ‘male gaze' to feel how we are from the insideAnd what happens when you are with another body trying to find pleasureAlong with lots more hot stuff and, of course, Mangala's top tip for increasing pleasure in your life.You can find Mangala's website and online program hereTo find support if you have experienced abuse in an embodiment, tantra or yoga class or workshop have a look at the Yoni Shaki Movement or Tantra Not Trauma Facebook group.You can also look at Somatic Experiencing, TRE or search here or here for a therapist that specialises in trauma.I'd love to hear your thoughts on the topics we discuss, you can message me through Instagram or have a look at my website where you'll find a wealth of free resources.You will find the podcast on Spotify, iTunes and many more platforms soon.

"You're young..." "You'll get pregnant again..." "At least you have a healthy child..." "At least you can get pregnant..." It's estimated that nearly 1 in 4 pregnancies results in a miscarriage. Yet somehow most of us are unaware of how many people we know that have experienced pregnancy loss until we experience one. Feelings of isolation, self-blame, guilt, and shame can pour in during the aftermath of a loss, however the experience of pregnancy loss is incredibly personal and does not impact two people the same way. An out of order loss can make it difficult for our support networks to know what we need and what to do, leading to an array of platitudes. But how do we deal with these feelings and the platitudes? I sat down with Dr. Jessica Zucker the creator of the #IHadAMisscarriage campaign and the psychologist behind the Instagram account @IHadAMiscarriage. Together we discussed our personal experiences with miscarriage, common themes that show up for mothers after, and the challenges that come with asking for support when a loss has occurred. Dr. Jessica Zucker is a Los Angeles-based reproductive and maternal mental health psychologist. She specialized in this field long before experiencing a second trimester miscarriage firsthand. She earned a Ph.D. in clinical psychology, a Master's degree in human development, as well as a Master's degree in public health. Her educational pursuits married with her clinical practice and research have lead her to write extensively on this topic for outlets such as The New York Times, The Washington Post, New York Magazine, and Vogue. Her first book I HAD A MISCARRIAGE: A Memoir, a Movement is available now (Feminist Press + Penguin Random House Audio) In this episode, we discuss: What lead Dr. Jessica Zucker to do this work and her own personal journey The themes that show up for mothers after miscarriageThe platitudes that are offered by others and how to cope Dealing with uncertainty and grief surrounding miscarriage and controlDealing with self-blame, guilt, and shameHow fixing is the denial of emotional intimacy Coping with the anxiety of getting pregnant again after a loss Now it’s your turn! Join me over on Instagram, or leave me a note here about your experience with miscarriage. What’s Coming Next? My next episode is with a special guest that has changed my world, and we are going to bust through the common relationship myths that couples can fall into.

We all carry shame and fear. We hide from it. We may even trick ourselves because of it. Let Michelle’s story inspire the courage within you to face yourself. Let her journey shine a light on how deserving of love you are.Michelle lost her husband to suicide 14 years ago. She hid the truth about his death for over 10 years out of shame and fear of stigma. Now she has turned her pain into purpose by speaking publicly about her journey through healing and coaching others who live with mental health challenges and loss.Quotes to remember: “Carrying a lie that big has an impact on us.”“I had to grieve all the things I didn’t give myself permission to grieve.”“When we are shame-driven, we just keep doing things that we’re ashamed of.”“Fear is a liar.”Takeaways:Shame and deceit grow over timeTrauma is stored in the body; talk therapy only takes us so farOur self-worth is tied up into the stories we have been telling ourselves of who we areYou can’t stop anyone from dying; you are playing god if you act otherwiseSome people spend their whole lives trying to make other people happyYou don’t need to accept anything as “the way it is”—it’s your choice toConfronting our shadow is at once painful and liberatingYou have permission to say, “I don’t want to live in this old story anymore”Your community are people who support you and want you to be happy and freeThere is no timeline for grieving; grief is the truest form of surrender; the tears will endTreat yourself as a loving parent treats a childWhat you’ll learn:How Michelle found herself lying about her husband’s deathWhat compelled her to tell the truth and face the shameHow an unhealthy relationship manifested due to her lack of self-worthWhat it takes to develop self-love when you don’t have muchWhat happened when Michelle broke the news to her teenage children, a decade laterWhy so many of us play small and play the martyrHer process of forgiving her familyThe hidden opportunity in griefHow to quickly tell when you are not living aligned with your values and are betraying yourselfHow to be discerning in relationships, and more importantly whyMentioned on the podcast: https://www.michelleanhangcoaching.com/Maya AngelouBrené BrownLinks:InstagramFacebookTwitter
"Your trauma is not your fault, but the healing is your responsibility." - Karen C.L. AndersonIf you ever felt confused, frozen or even dissociated in showing up to market and sell, this episode is a must-listen. I see this over and over: the impact of trauma often keeps great coaches from fully sharing their gifts with the world.Many live with the effect of big, obvious trauma. And so many more of us are impacted by more subtle traumas. They all "count", and they all deserve caring consideration in order to heal.I wanted to have a conversation with my colleague, author and master coach Karen C.L. Anderson, about how to recognize when this is happening, and what to do about it.Karen brings such a wise and compassionate perspective to help you understand what's going on in your nervous system. We discuss:A new definition of trauma that will help to dissolve feelings of shameHow sometimes, it's not always thoughts, but your nervous system that creates feelingsWhat’s really happening when you show up to market and “freeze”How being on social media can feel like an assault, and what to do about itWhat to do when you dissociate mid-coaching, or mid-"showing up"How to create more ‘mature’ nervous systemsListen.__Show notes:Karen C.L.

https://youtu.be/QbJIv6ady9g Looking for advice on chastity from a Catholic perspective regardless of your state of life? In this episode, top Theology of the Body evangelist, Christopher West, explains how an improper view of Catholic teaching on human sexuality can elicit rebellious reactivity, whereas understanding Pope St. John Paul II's Theology of the Body can inspire joyful excitement about chastity. Using analogies about diet, West explains how we can go from a diet of sexual starvation to feeling satisfied, regardless of one's state in life, simply by correcting our view on sexual morality and acting accordingly. In this episode, besides sharing his own inspirational story from sexual promiscuity to purity, Christopher West tells us: How his presentation of the Theology of the Body has changed since Naked without ShameHow he fell for the "fast food gospel" when he was young as a reaction to the "starvation diet gospel"How Theology of the Body is an invitation to a banquetWhat the difference is between eros and porneaHow he chose and developed his speaking style Why he talks about popular music and media so muchHow when we sin, we are actually looking for something goodWhat's wrong with pornographyThe role of knowing the difference between using and loving in pure Christian courtshipHow a person is indispensable, irreplaceable and unrepeatableHow chastity orients erotic desire towards upholding the dignity of the human personWhy anyone would become a priest or religious if the marital embrace is so beautiful Books by Christopher West from his book store: Theology of the Body for Beginners 2018 Updated and Revised https://shop.corproject.com/collections/books/products/theology-of-the-body-for-beginners Good News About Sex & Marriage 2018 Updated and Revised https://shop.corproject.com/collections/books/products/good-news-about-sex-and-marriage Love Is Patient, But I'm Not (which may have stories he will refer to in answer some of your questions about his growth as an evangelizer) https://shop.corproject.com/collections/books/products/love-is-patient-but-i-m-not-confessions-of-a-recovering-perfectionist Word Made Flesh: A Companion to the Sunday Mass Readings https://shop.corproject.com/collections/books/products/the-word-made-flesh-a-companion-to-the-sunday-readings-cycle-c-pre-order-releases-sept-7-2018 Christopher West's Facebook community information and free course on the practical application of the Theology of the Body: https://community.theologyofthebody.com/freecourse For more information on the show and other resources visit https://healingandpeace.com/blog/.

Artists and audiences alike describe feeling changed by visual, narrative, musical, and performance works of art. The shift can be slight, but it can be profound, too. What's happening in our minds and bodies when we engage with the arts, to allow that transformation to occur? Are there special ways art-making can help address the neurobiological effects of trauma, in particular? And might engaging with art, individually and as a culture, help inspire the changes we wish to bring about?Hear Tony-winning performer & playwright Tonya Pinkins and Lindsay Lederman, the Clinical Director of The Art Therapy Project, discussing Tonya's project from the #HealMeToo Festival, Truth And Reconciliation of Womyn, while exploring the neuroscience of trauma and the process of healing through the arts.A few of the topics they discuss:The neuroscience of trauma and of healingWhy Tonya asserts we have the ability to “change the past”What art therapy is, how it works, and why it lets you work through past trauma at “a step away” so it may be less overwhelming--and sometimes more effective than addressing things “head on”How imagination and being creative in many aspects of life can open the locked parts of the brainHow our neurons start to fire in new ways while we experience art, like putting footsteps down in a new pathHow art can help us recover our sense of joy after traumaWhy artistic activities access feelings and memories through the body, to help us address experiences that were not captured in language at the time Why trauma of many kinds leaves survivors with a sense of shame, and how witnessing art and performance can help address that shameHow and why creating or viewing art that presents new and different ways of imagining the future may help change the way we respond to things that trigger or frighten us, even when we disagree with the artwork we’re responding toThe #HealMeToo Podcast is hosted by Hope Singsen--the artist, creativity researcher and survivor-activist who founded the #HealMeToo Festival in NYC this Spring.

Hilary Jacobs Hendel is a psychotherapist who switched from practicing traditional talk psychotherapy to accelerated experimental dynamic psychotherapy. She teaches us that our core emotions are automatic and grounded in universal physical experiences. Her new book is called, It’s Not Always Depression: Working The Change Triangle to Listen to the Body, Discover Core Emotions, and Connect to your Authentic Self. In this episode, she goes into great instructional detail about how to identify and process your emotions in the moment. If you’ve ever felt a strong emotion (and who hasn’t), this episode will teach you how to move through it skillfully, rather than having your strong emotions wreak havoc in yourself and with others.

I am so impressed by Caroline’s journey of healing, the choices she is making, and the way she shares so authentically and openly. I truly cannot wait to share this remarkable woman with you!
