Do you find yourself up late at night searching for scholarships, and ways to pay for college without parental help? Do you wake up worried about everything, and just want to make sure you’re following God’s plan for your life? In this podcast for Christian college girls, you will learn to find GOD’S path for your college journey, and graduate with no loans or debt! I get it! It is so tough doing things the world‘s way, when everybody else is doing life without God and in their own strength, making poor choices, and taking out loans. So, if you’re ready to stop dreading making decisions, and find EASY solutions to help you pay for college while following His path for your life, this podcast is for you! Hey there! I’m Kara Walker, a twenty-something entrepreneur, amateur snowboarder, recovering over-achiever, and debt-free college graduate. In college, I too was a stressed college student, looking for money and mental peace. I wondered if there were other ways to pay for college besides loans, and wished for clear direction on how to make college and career decisions! Not only was I worried about drowning in debt, but also afraid I hadn’t heard Jesus correctly. Was I studying the wrong thing? Was I completely off track? I felt semi-out of control and was spiraling, until I learned how to hear from God and follow His direction. He guided me and gave me the stepping stones to pay for college. Scholarships, grants, testing out of classes, and other weird school hacks got me through debt-free! And, I’m here to teach you HOW to do this, too. If you are ready to find answers about your future, have an intimate and fruitful relationship with Jesus, and have enough money to KILL it at college, this pod is for you! So grab your cold brew and TI-89, and listen in on the most stress-free and debt-free class you’ve ever attended: this is Money and Mental Peace.

Ever felt calmer in a roaring stadium than a quiet supermarket? In this episode, I unpack the strange maths of social anxiety and autism — and why a packed night at McDonald Jones Stadium can feel safer than a fluorescent aisle at Coles. I walk you through hyper-vigilance, sensory overload, and the stories my brain spins when I'm late, lost, or convinced someone's in “my” seat. And underneath it all? Love. Love for the Newcastle Knights, for red and blue, and for the city that built me.We talk social batteries — how sleep and solitude recharge them, but not always in time for kickoff. When that battery's low, catastrophising creeps in fast. Small unknowns become full-blown internal conflict scenes. But there's a second battery too: passion. Identity. Ritual. Loyalty. The chants, the banter, the stubborn belief the ref needs a reminder about the offside rule. Sometimes it's magic. Sometimes I'm completely cooked by halftime. Both are true.I also share the story behind my Pride of the Hunter banner — why it fires me up, why people look for it on TV, and why part of me still worries I'm in the way. If you live with anxiety or sensory sensitivity, you'll recognise the push-pull of doing what you love while your nervous system screams no. The takeaways? Anchor to values. Accept the nerves. Convert adrenaline into purpose. And plan recovery like it matters — because it absolutely does.-- Follow The Dysregulated Podcast: Instagram – @elliot.t.waters Facebook – The Dysregulated Podcast YouTube – The Dysregulated Podcast (Official Channel) Created by Elliot Waters — Inspired by lived experience.

Four years ago, I interviewed Tapani after he had already made significant progress with his social anxiety. His lifelong blushing had reduced dramatically. Life was opening up in ways that once felt impossible. Recently, he shared in our community that the last time he felt more than a little anxious was months ago. His anxiety barely bothers him anymore. And he described learning not just how to deal with social anxiety, but how to approach life differently. That made me curious. So we recorded this follow-up conversation to explore what actually holds up over time. What does long-term change from social anxiety really feel like? Not dramatic confidence. Not becoming a different personality. Not turning into the most charismatic person in the room. Instead: • Anxiety dropping from an 8 or 9 to mild physical tension • Blushing no longer dominating daily life • Social situations feeling ordinary again • Strangers no longer registering as threats • Relief that continues to deepen quietly If you've ever wondered: "Does this actually last?" "What if I improve… and then it fades?" "Is this realistic for someone like me?" This episode is for you. We talk about: • Fear of blushing and reputation anxiety • Anticipatory anxiety and how it changes • Why pushing anxiety away makes it worse • Acceptance and nervous system regulation • Why progress compounds gradually • What "feeling normal" really means This isn't a story about instant transformation. It's an honest look at how social anxiety can loosen its grip over time, and what life feels like when your system gradually updates instead of being forced. If you're considering whether this path might fit you, you'll find more details here. Take your time. Move when it feels right.

  In the first two episodes, we looked at: • Why social anxiety keeps coming back • How it actually changes In this one, we make it practical. If you've ever wondered: "Where do I even start?" "What if I'm a tough case?" "What if I lose motivation again?" This episode lays out a structured path that fits how real change actually happens. We look at: • Why guessing what to tap on creates overwhelm • Why motivation always dips • Why progress builds gradually • Who this path makes sense for This isn't a quick fix. And it isn't dramatic. But it can be steady. On February 25, I'll walk you through how the Social Confidence Club puts this structure into practice.

In this episode of Do Good to Lead Well, I welcome Dr. Jacqueline Sperling, a clinical psychologist, assistant professor in psychology at Harvard Medical School, and the co-founder and co-program director of the McLean Anxiety Mastery Program at McLean Hospital to discuss her latest book, “Find Your Fierce: How to Put Social Anxiety in Its Place.”Motivated by long waitlists at treatment centers and the slow path many face toward accessing help for social anxiety, Jacqueline Sperling shares her mission: to offer practical, evidence-based tools that anyone can use, regardless of clinical diagnosis or age. She grounds her message in empowerment, emphasizing that anxiety is a universal emotion—sometimes adaptive, sometimes disruptive—but always manageable with the right approach.Major themes include: • Understanding Anxiety: Dr. Sperling defines anxiety as a forward-looking form of fear and reframes it as a resource that can help us prepare for life's challenges, provided we don't let it dominate our decision-making. • The Thoughts-Feelings-Behaviors Model: Our discussion breaks down how our internal dialogue, emotions, and actions interconnect. Techniques like “stop, drop, and roll” and identification of unhelpful thought categories (catastrophizing, shoulds, overgeneralizing) are brought to life through questions from the live audience. • Leadership and Team Dynamics: We explore how leaders can compassionately address anxiety in their teams, foster psychological safety, and model healthy boundaries, which are especially during disruptive times and organizational uncertainty.Check out this episode for an honest, caring invitation for how we can create lasting mental health hygiene: a daily, mindful practice to care for ourselves, as we pursue meaningful work and lead with compassion.What You'll Learn- How to flip the script when you always expect the worst.- How leaders can compassionately support team members stuck in negative thought cycles.- Strategies for dealing with imposter syndrome and perfectionism.- Practical tips for receiving feedback without defensiveness.- Ways to maintain resilience in uncertain, disruptive times.- The power of mental health hygiene.Podcast Timestamps02:15 Dr. Jacqueline Sperling's background04:07 Origin story of "Find Your Fierce" book05:48 Understanding anxiety vs. fear07:49 The three-component model (thoughts, feelings, behaviors)10:04 Stop, drop, and roll technique14:23 Managing catastrophizing in team members18:54 Addressing imposter syndrome23:01 Overcoming fear of speaking up in meetings28:08 Values-based anxiety management31:53 The "shoulds" and "musts" trap33:51 Receiving feedback effectively38:03 Managing team anxiety during disruption40:06 Addressing perfectionism44:40 Delegation and leadership anxiety48:33 Overgeneralizing dangers52:07 Mental health hygiene practicesKEYWORDSPositive Leadership, Managing Anxiety, Social Anxiety, Thought-Feeling-Behavior Model, Catastrophizing, Mindfulness, Imposter Syndrome, Perfectionism, Exposure Therapy, Behavioral Experiments, Self-insight, Mental Health Hygiene, Resilience, Stress Management, Reframing, Team Dynamics, Sleep Hygiene, Self-care, CEO Success

In the last episode, we looked at why social anxiety comes back. In this one, we look at what actually changes it. If you've ever thought, "Maybe it just doesn't work for me," or "I don't want to get my hopes up again," That doubt makes sense. In this episode, I explain: • Why you can't out-think social anxiety • Why short-term relief doesn't always change deeper patterns • Why old emotional memories still win the prediction battle • How those predictions can gradually update Change isn't dramatic. It isn't overnight. But it can be steady. Part 3 will be published here on February 20. If you prefer watching the video version, you can find it at https://bit.ly/socialconfidencemasterclass

Here we are in Stockholm talking with Raya, who is based in Tallinn. We have shared a warm, honest conversation with Raya Bouslah: born in Tunisia, now building a dancing life in Estonia, and finding her way across lindy hop and blues.Raya started right before Covid and never stopped (well, apart from when the Covid was in its bloom). She talks about how dancing helps her stay sane and how social dance became a special way to meet people and bond. She gives a shout‑out to Rostom, who first nudged her into the scene. We also talk openly about social anxiety: the first class felt great until the moment everyone was asked to grab a partner, then everything tightened. She stayed anyway. Which she reflects on as being a great way of moving through ansxiety. Classes being in Estonian sometimes felt alienating, yet social dancing opened a different part of her brain, almost like a contract of safe space.We look at human connection on the dance floor and how often it gets sexualised, then turn toward the kind of connection that feels respectful, joyful, and clear. Raya shares memories from Bluesila and leaves thoughtful advice about finding your own language of dancing.Subscribe & ReviewFollow the podcast and leave a review to help me grow

You try something. It helps for a while. Then the social anxiety returns. And when it comes back, it doesn't just feel like fear. It feels like failure. If you've ever wondered why social anxiety keeps coming back (even after therapy, exposure, or other techniques) or have thought: - "Is there something wrong with me?" This episode is for you. We explore why managing anxiety is different from retraining your nervous system's perception of threat, and why temporary relief doesn't mean you're broken.

"Love feedback, hate feedback, feel sort of somewhere in the middle, it still creates this sense of anxiety for everyone around." Organizational psychologist Becky Westwood is an expert in social anxiety at work. And that gives her a unique persepctive on the situation guaranteed to created anxiety in ALL of us: giving and receiving feedback.  In her book Can I Offer You Something? Expert Ways to Overcome the Horrors of Organizational Feedback, she invites us to reject the grim reality of most workplace feedback processes and return to the original sense of the word: nourishment. It's refreshingly human, and might just save you some lost sleep, not to mention relationships.  This book was named Short Business Book of the Year, and we talk about what length is the right length for a book, and how the answers come as you write, not before you start. So start.

In dieser Folge von Jenke Extreme Momente wird's körperlich, psychologisch und sozial extrem ehrlich. Jenke erzählt von neun Wochen Rückenschmerzen, einer unvermeidbaren Bandscheiben-OP, und davon, wie es ist, wenn der eigene Körper plötzlich klare Ansagen macht. Jánik kontert mit einem filmischen Trauma: dem Film “Awake”, der ihn seit Jahren zuverlässig davon überzeugt, dass Vollnarkosen absoluter Horror sind. Danach wird's persönlicher: Jánik war auf dem Geburtstag seiner neuen Freundin, inklusive großem Freundeskreis, unausgesprochenen Erwartungen und gefühlten Bewerbungsgesprächen. Wie fühlt es sich an, als „der Neue“ in einen eingeschworenen Kreis zu kommen? Und warum ist Social Anxiety in Gruppen viel verbreiteter, als man denkt? Außerdem geht's um paradoxes Denken beim Schlafen (sich extra vornehmen, schlecht zu schlafen, um besser zu schlafen), das aktuelle Schlafexperiment der beiden, Kollagen, Longevity, Social Media – und warum eine leicht ironische Grundhaltung dem Leben gegenüber vielleicht das Gesündeste überhaupt ist. Ach ja: Der Käsebrötchenmoment darf natürlich auch nicht fehlen.

In this episode of "The Fear Less Now," hosts Jamie Pastrano and Brittany Moser join me to discuss the launch of Synchrony's innovative AI-powered social support tool, Jesse. Designed specifically for neurodivergent adults, Jesse offers real-time conversation coaching to help reduce social anxiety and foster deeper connections.   The conversation will delve into the pressing issue of social isolation and loneliness among autistic individuals and those with other neurodevelopmental differences, particularly in early adulthood when traditional support structures often become less available. Recent research highlights the increasing prevalence of loneliness during this life stage.    Jamie and Brittany will explore how Jesse, while not a replacement for therapy, can act as a supportive coach to build foundational skills such as social confidence, resilience, and connection. By strengthening these everyday skills, Jesse can play an important role in fostering well-being and creating the conditions for meaningful, lasting friendships.   The discussion will also touch on the potential benefits and limitations of AI in supporting neurodivergent individuals, drawing on insights from various sources. For instance, AI can help with script practice, document drafting, and confidence building in social interactions. However, it's also important to consider the risks of over-reliance on such technology.   Tune in to this insightful conversation to learn more about how Jesse and similar tools might be shaping the future of support for neurodivergent adults.

Virtual reality can remove the biggest barriers to evidence-based mental health treatment by making exposure therapy affordable, scalable, and accessible anywhere. In this episode, Adam Hutchinson, founder of oVRcome, discusses how lived experience with social anxiety and a background in technology led him to build a VR platform that expands access to exposure therapy worldwide. He explains why traditional exposure therapy is difficult, costly, and impractical for many conditions, and how VR “tricks the brain” to safely replicate real-world triggers without physical constraints. Adam explores the clinical value of immersive, filmed VR environments, the emerging role of generative AI in personalizing treatment, and the importance of maintaining realism for effective outcomes. He also shares insights from scaling a global startup from New Zealand, highlights use cases across self-help, clinicians, schools, payers, and health systems, and emphasizes the role of caregivers in successful treatment journeys. Tune in and discover how immersive technology is revolutionizing anxiety care, lowering costs, and increasing access to proven mental health treatments worldwide!

This episode gives a clear, calm explanation of what the Social Confidence Club is and what it isn't. If you've lived with social anxiety for years and have tried things like therapy, exposure, CBT, or tapping, you may have had some relief that didn't last. This video explains why that happens and how a different, nervous-system-based approach can support more stable change over time. In this orientation, I explain:  • what makes the Social Confidence Club different from courses or quick fixes  • why social anxiety isn't a logic problem, but a nervous system issue  • how gradual change happens without forcing, rushing, or exposure pressure  • what participation actually looks like, including anonymity and replays  • who this approach is and isn't a fit for This episode will help you understand the approach and decide calmly whether it makes sense for you. Do you feel awkward in social situations? Do you struggle to be yourself around others? And do you fear being judged, being seen anxious, and embarrassing yourself? You're not alone. I've been there. It sucks. Big time. But there's hope. I've been fortunate enough to overcome my Social Anxiety... ... and I've helped hundreds of socially anxious clients overcome their struggles too.

In today's episode, Trisha and I answer three powerful listener questions that so many women quietly struggle with. We talk about family estrangement — what's really happening when an adult child cuts off communication, the deep hurt and confusion it causes on all sides, and whether these breakdowns can be prevented or gently repaired. We also dive into long-term social anxiety. One listener shares her experience of living with anxiety since her teens, how bullying shaped her fear of speaking up, and the toll it's taking on a job she genuinely loves. We explore why “just pushing yourself” often makes things worse, what's happening in the nervous system, and what can actually help when anxiety feels overwhelming and ingrained. Finally, we look at people-pleasing and over-performing in conversations — the urge to say the right thing, be liked, keep the peace, and carry the emotional load — and why these patterns are so hard to break, even when you're aware of them. As always, Trisha McHale brings a compassionate, practical psychotherapist lens to each question, helping you understand what's really going on beneath the surface — and where real change starts.

Story Transcript:Da: Det var en kold vintermorgen, og sneen faldt stille udenfor den gamle skolebygning.En: It was a cold winter morning, and the snow fell quietly outside the old school building.Da: Mikkel gik hurtigt gennem gangene, holdt sig lidt for sig selv, mens han desperat forsøgte at undgå øjenkontakt med de andre elever.En: Mikkel walked quickly through the halls, keeping to himself a bit as he desperately tried to avoid eye contact with the other students.Da: Han fokuserede altid på sine studier, men hans sociale angst fulgte ham overalt som en mørk sky.En: He always focused on his studies, but his social anxiety followed him everywhere like a dark cloud.Da: Freja, hans klassekammerat, var derimod centrum for opmærksomheden.En: Freja, his classmate, was, on the other hand, the center of attention.Da: Hun lo højlydt med vennerne ved sit skab, men kastede et blik mod Mikkel, der gled forbi dem som en skygge.En: She laughed loudly with her friends at her locker but glanced at Mikkel as he glided past them like a shadow.Da: Mens mange anså Freja som sorgløs, var hun altid opmærksom på dem omkring hende.En: While many considered Freja carefree, she was always aware of those around her.Da: Deres næste klasse var biologi hos Sofie.En: Their next class was biology with Sofie.Da: Klasseværelset var varmt og lyst, men man kunne høre vindens hyl mod vinduerne.En: The classroom was warm and bright, but you could hear the wind howling against the windows.Da: Mikkel sad bagerst, klar med sine bøger og noter.En: Mikkel sat in the back, ready with his books and notes.Da: Sofie, en dygtig og forstående lærer, kiggede over klassen med omsorgsfulde øjne.En: Sofie, a skilled and understanding teacher, looked over the class with caring eyes.Da: Hun bemærkede Mikkels stille tilstedeværelse, men lod ham være, så længe han havde det godt.En: She noticed Mikkel's quiet presence but left him be as long as he was okay.Da: Mens Sofie begyndte dagens lektion om planter, skete der noget uventet.En: As Sofie began the day's lesson on plants, something unexpected happened.Da: Mikkels ansigt begyndte at hæve, og det var svært for ham at trække vejret.En: Mikkel's face began to swell, and it was difficult for him to breathe.Da: Hans fingre rystede, mens han forsøgte at fokusere på tavlen.En: His fingers trembled as he tried to focus on the board.Da: Han havde aldrig oplevet sådan en voldsom allergisk reaktion før, og han kendte ikke sin allergi.En: He had never experienced such a severe allergic reaction before, and he didn't know his allergy.Da: Hans hjerte bankede hurtigere, og frygten lukkede sig om ham.En: His heart beat faster, and fear closed in on him.Da: Freja, der sad længere fremme, drejede hovedet og så hans besvær.En: Freja, who sat further up, turned her head and saw his distress.Da: Uden at tøve rakte hun en hånd i vejret og råbte efter Sofie.En: Without hesitating, she raised a hand and shouted for Sofie.Da: "Mikkel har brug for hjælp!"En: "Mikkel needs help!"Da: hendes stemme var skarp med bekymring.En: her voice was sharp with concern.Da: Sofie reagerede straks, skyndte sig til Mikkels side og sørgede for, at han fik den nødbehandling, han havde brug for.En: Sofie reacted immediately, rushed to Mikkel's side, and ensured he received the emergency treatment he needed.Da: Klassen samlede sig omkring, og det, der normalt ville have været Mikkels mareridt – at være i centrum – blev nu en redning takket være Frejas hurtige handling.En: The class gathered around, and what would normally have been Mikkel's nightmare—being the center of attention—now became a rescue thanks to Freja's quick action.Da: Efter hændelsen, da Mikkel sad i sygeplejens rum, kom Freja forbi med et venligt smil.En: After the incident, when Mikkel sat in the nurse's room, Freja came by with a kind smile.Da: "Du skal ikke klare alting selv, Mikkel.En: "You don't have to handle everything alone, Mikkel.Da: Vi er her for dig," sagde hun blidt.En: We are here for you," she said gently.Da: Mikkel tøvede, men så nikkede han, indså langsomt, at han ikke behøvede at kæmpe alene.En: Mikkel hesitated but then nodded, slowly realizing he didn't have to fight alone.Da: Dét øjeblik ændrede noget i ham.En: That moment changed something in him.Da: Selvom hans angst ikke forsvandt helt, blev den lidt lettere at bære, fordi han vidste, at han kunne stole på nogen.En: Although his anxiety didn't completely disappear, it became a bit easier to bear because he knew he could rely on someone.Da: Mikkel besluttede at åbne sig lidt mere, tage imod den tilbudte hånd af venskab.En: Mikkel decided to open up a little more, to accept the offered hand of friendship.Da: Og i en verden af vinter og brugne barrierer, begyndte han at finde små lysglimt i skolen, han hidtil kun havde set som en mur af anonymitet.En: And in a world of winter and broken barriers, he began to find little flashes of light in the school he had previously only seen as a wall of anonymity.

Social anxiety isn't just about nerves in social situations, it slowly shrinks lives through avoidance, self-judgment, and fear of being seen. In this episode, Dr. Deb Dobson joins The Psyched to Practice Podcast to talk about what actually keeps social anxiety going, why reassurance and comfort can backfire, and how exposure really works in the real world. We explore subtle safety behaviors clinicians often miss, how avoidance becomes seductive, and why progress depends more on persistence than perfection. This conversation offers practical insights for clinicians who want to help clients live fuller lives without promising unrealistic cures.Brightminds AdPAR Ad To hear more and stay up to date with Paul Wagner, MS, LPC and Ray Christner, Psy.D., NCSP, ABPP visit our website at: http://www.psychedtopractice.com Please follow the link below to access all of our hosting sites. https://www.buzzsprout.com/2007098/share “Be well, and stay psyched" #mentalhealth #podcast #psychology #psychedtopractice #counseling #socialwork #MentalHealthAwareness #ClinicalPractice #mentalhealth #podcast

In this episode of The Tudor Dixon Podcast, relationship expert Dr. Wendy Walsh explores how the post-pandemic world has reshaped dating, intimacy, and romantic relationships for young people. She examines the influence of social media and dating apps on real connection, the evolving expectations of men and women, and why communication skills matter more than ever. Dr. Walsh also discusses family pressures during the holiday season and how younger generations are redefining intimacy, love, and commitment in today’s culture.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Social anxiety is not a personality flaw, it is your nervous system doing its job a little too loudly.  In this episode, we reframe awkwardness and self-consciousness as signals of alert, not evidence that something is wrong with you. If holiday parties, crowded rooms, or feeling “on” leave you tense and overthinking, this conversation will help you understand what is actually happening in your body.  I walk you through seven gentle, practical tools designed to give your nervous system cues of safety so you can stay grounded and present. These are not mindset tricks or confidence hacks, they are body-based resets you can use in real time. You will learn how to quickly orient to the present moment, regulate your breath, and take micro breaks without disappearing.  We talk about why food or drinks often become a coping tool in social settings and how to expand your options without judgment or restriction. You will also learn how to prepare simple connection cues so conversations feel less draining.  This episode emphasizes choice, permission, and self-trust rather than forcing yourself to push through discomfort.

Today we're talking about Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria—often referred to as RSD—a deeply emotional experience that affects so many individuals with ADHD and other forms of neurodivergence. My guest is Dr. Sharon Saline, a clinical psychologist who has spent over 30 years working with neurodivergent children, teens, adults, and families. In our conversation, Sharon breaks down what RSD is, how it shows up in daily life, and why understanding it can be such a game changer—for both kids and parents. We talk about the emotional and psychological impact of RSD, practical tools for managing it, and how to cultivate self-compassion and resilience in the face of painful rejection or criticism. Sharon also shares strategies for helping kids navigate social situations with more confidence and less overwhelm, and for supporting ourselves as parents along the way.
