Is organic wine better for you, or is this just another marketing tactic keeping you tied to alcohol? Lois finds herself caught between wanting to make healthier choices and falling for the "better for you" wine aisle marketing. In this coaching session with Coach Cole, she explores the cognitive dissonance between knowing alcohol is harmful regardless of its organic status, while still being drawn to the perceived benefits of "healthier" wine options. Through mindful observation and intentional choice-making, Lois discovers how to navigate her evening rituals, experiment with non-alcoholic alternatives, and approach her relationship with alcohol from a place of curiosity rather than judgment.

SHOW NOTES: On this show…we are diving into the idea of emotional shape-shifting or adapting our emotions and behaviors in different social situations. Have you ever found yourself slipping into the role of mood manager—filling awkward silences, lifting a heavy atmosphere, or shifting your tone just to keep the peace? Maybe you've walked into a room, scanned the emotional temperature, and instinctively adjusted yourself to fit in, smoothing out discomfort like a social glue stick. If so, congratulations! You might be what I like to call an Emotional Shape-Shifter—the person who intuitively adapts to meet others where they are. Sounds like a superpower, right? And in many ways, it is. This kind of emotional adaptability can build connections, ease tensions, and make you the go-to person for support and social harmony. But here's the catch—when does being flexible turn into being too flexible? At what point do we stop adjusting and start erasing ourselves? Think about it - constantly mirroring other people's moods can be exhausting! If you've ever walked away from a conversation feeling emotionally drained—like you just carried the weight of someone else's energy—you're not alone. As a self-proclaimed shifter, I wanted to know, is emotional shape-shifting simply a form of empathy, or is it a close cousin of people-pleasing? And more importantly, how do we keep the good parts of this trait while setting boundaries that protect our own emotional well-being? Today, we're diving into the art of emotional adaptability—when it's a strength, when it's a slippery slope, and how to find the balance between connection and self-preservation. I was talking to a friend of mine about this idea and referred to myself as “the goo”...sounds weird, but think about it. Goo fills empty space.  Ever notice how you become a slightly different version of yourself depending on who you're with or where you are? This isn't about being fake – it's something psychologists might call emotional shape-shifting, and it's actually a normal part of human behavior. Emotional shape-shifting can be defined as the process of adjusting or changing your emotional expression to suit different situations or people. It draws on our capacity for emotional regulation – the ability to control or modulate our feelings – and on emotional mirroring, where we unconsciously mimic another person's emotions to connect with them. In other words, it's like being an “emotional chameleon”, instinctively adapting to the social environment to blend in or put others at ease. Over at Psych Central, Hope Gillette tells us about Practicing Authenticity When You're Socially Adapting There are no set criteria that define someone as a social chameleon, but common traits can include:   Empathy: Recognizing, relating, and responding to the thoughts and feelings of others. Adaptability: Being able to change your behavior readily in different situations. Open-mindedness: Always searching for a common ground with others' beliefs and interests. Social awareness: Being keen to subtle social cues, like body language, or shifts in others' moods and behaviors. Effective communication: Offering clear, engaging conversation and active listening. Displaying interest: Asking questions and displaying interest in someone else's passion. Mimicking movements: Taking on movements of another to convey shared experiences, like smiling, nodding, or arm crossing.   At Medical News Today, Zawn Villines gives us some insight on People pleasers: What it means and how to stop On the School of Life's YouTube Channel, I found How to Stop Being a People Pleaser CHALLENGE: Be intentional with your own emotional shape-shifting – adapt to others when it feels right, but never at the cost of your true feelings and needs. Stay flexible and empathetic, yes, but also fiercely protective of your authenticity and personal boundaries.   I Know YOU Can Do It!

In part two of Diana's conversation with Scotty Aemis, they delve into the complexities of adopting children from traumatic backgrounds and the challenges that come with it. Scotty shares practical advice on finding trauma-informed counselors, the importance of creating a safe environment for children, and the necessity of establishing trust before enforcing discipline. They discuss how integrating trauma awareness into various facets of life, including church and social activities, can significantly aid in the healing process. Scotty emphasizes the need for parents to provide a stable, loving environment rather than focusing on correcting behaviors. The episode concludes with resources for connecting with trauma-informed support and announcements about a new trauma-focused book and ministry services. 00:00 Introduction to the Podcast 00:33 Recap of Part One with Scotty Aemis 02:00 Choosing the Right Counselor 03:34 Creating a Safe Environment for Traumatized Children 05:25 Navigating Family and Social Situations 08:16 The Role of the Church and Faith 12:07 Final Thoughts and Resources 14:40 Conclusion and Farewell Scotty Aemis is passionate about helping parents navigate childhood trauma. After he and his wife adopted two children, they found themselves learning everything they could about helping their children thrive. Everything that felt instinctually “right” was actually not helpful for children trying to heal from trauma. That set him on a journey to develop out my PSR (Positive Safe Relationships) Approach to parenting. It's helpful for all children and parents, but especially those navigating childhood trauma. https://www.childtraumasherpa.com/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/1002238933611804 Website: https://dswministries.org Email: diana@dswministries.org Subscribe to the podcast: https://dswministries.org/subscribe-to-podcast/ Social media links: Join our Private Wounds of the Faithful FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1603903730020136 Twitter: https://twitter.com/DswMinistries YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxgIpWVQCmjqog0PMK4khDw/playlists Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dswministries/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DSW-Ministries-230135337033879 Keep in touch with me!

All you need is love. It's not necessarily true. We need a little bit more. than love to parent children, including children that have had severe trauma. So I'm excited to hear the rest of his story about some examples of what works and what doesn't work, and what resources are out there for parents. We're going to talk about discipline in detail.

Formerly co-host of Roger & Marilyn, the veteran radio broadcaster now hosts Marilyn Denis and Jamar, weekday mornings on Toronto's #1-ranked radio station CHUM 104.5. A definite trailblazer, Edmonton-born Marilyn became the first female DJ at KRPL in Moscow, Idaho. She then moved to Calgary where she held various radio and television positions including programmer, music director, and traffic reporter. But it wasn't until she auditioned to become Roger Ashby's co-host, that Marilyn found her niche. After interviewing dozens of broadcasters and actresses, Marilyn breezed into CHUM FM in July 1986. After chatting with her for a few brief minutes, Roger immediately remarked, “I think we've found the right one.” Marilyn has always balanced her dynamic radio career with her candid television presence. She first began her career in television by reporting on sports, weather, and entertainment at CFCN-TV (CTV Calgary) and working as a freelance reporter for TSN. Marilyn also shared hosting duties on Bravo!'s Gemini Award-winning concert series LIVE AT THE REHEARSAL HALL and was host of the popular daily show CITYLINE for nearly 20 years.  A triple Gemini Award-winner (including back-to-back Viewers Choice Awards), Marilyn received The Rosalie Award, honouring Canadian women who have paved the way for others in radio broadcasting in 2006. Marilyn is the recipient of the Allan Waters Broadcast Lifetime Achievement Award, which was awarded at the 2017 Canadian Music and Broadcast Industry Awards;_ _listed as one of Canada's Most Powerful Women: Top 100 by WXN_;_ _selected as the University of Idaho's (where Marilyn studied broadcasting) 2017 Commencement Speaker and Honorary Degree recipient.

I wholeheartedly believe that learning to enjoy social situations without alcohol is one of the most empowering gifts you can give yourself. It's a skill that brings freedom and joy, allowing you to show up as your authentic self—without a drink in hand. But as you probably already know, it's not always easy. Whether it's handling those awkward questions, navigating a wedding or happy hour, or simply feeling like you don't fit in, sober socializing can feel daunting. In fact, social anxiety is considered one of the biggest hurdles for people who quit drinking. And I'll be honest—this is something that hits close to home for so many of us. That's why I invited Ellie, one of my 6-week program alumni, to join me for this episode. Ellie knows firsthand how tricky it can be to navigate social situations in early sobriety, and she's here to share how she handled those challenges from day one so her friends new exactly what was going on, where she was, and what to expect. Ellie brings incredible insights and practical tips to help you feel confident, calm, and ready to face any social situation. In this inspiring conversation, Ellie shares how to: Prepare for events and gatherings so you feel empowered and in control. Create meaningful connections with others without relying on alcohol. Stay grounded and true to yourself—even in high-pressure situations. Plus, Ellie reflects on the lessons she's learned since my 6-week program and the tools that continue to help her thrive in her sober life. I'll go ahead and call it now—this episode is going to be a favorite. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!   Links mentioned in this episode:  Thinking about working with Angela?

Question of the Day: Can being tall cause social anxiety? Because think about it, we stick out like a sore thumb, sometimes get negative attention, have difficulty existing in physical spaces; surely height can be a contributing factor to social anxiety, right? So that we're on the same page, let's define social anxiety. Social anxiety is a disorder where everyday interactions cause irrational anxiety, fear, self-consciousness, and embarrassment. Don't come for me okay lol; this is essentially the summary of definitions I found on Google.And this can happen in different settings like a bar or a school club meeting or even just hanging out with friends, especially when around new or a lot of people. There's this fear of judgment and humiliation and even worry of embarrassment. So what does social anxiety look like in tall people? And how can you navigate social situations as a tall person?

During our conversation, Mara provided invaluable insights into her program, which focuses on helping autistic and neurodivergent individuals improve their social interactions. Today, I want to share some of the key ideas and strategies that Mara discussed that can benefit us all.IRL Social Skills, which stands for "In Real Life," offers a community-based, proactive approach to mental health by teaching essential social skills. Mara emphasized the importance of creating a safe space for participants to learn and practice these skills, stating, "We offer a community-based proactive approach to mental health so that our participants get the opportunity to learn these skills in a safe space with other people who are also struggling."One of the standout strategies Mara shared involves transforming the dreaded small talk into a meaningful exchange. She explained, "You think about the dreaded small talk, right? We think of this more in terms of like a tactical strategy of trading information to find common interests because friendships are based on common interests." By encouraging participants to ask questions, give compliments, and share their own interests, IRL Social Skills helps individuals build genuine connections.Another critical aspect of Mara's program is teaching the concept of "interoception," which involves understanding and interpreting the body's physical sensations. This skill is vital for both personal well-being and social interactions. As Mara put it, "The body speaks in sensation. So we want to learn how to drop into our nervous system to be able to receive the messages that our body is sending us."These strategies are not only beneficial for neurodivergent individuals but can also help anyone looking to improve their social skills and mental health. By focusing on authentic interactions and self-awareness, we can all learn to navigate the complex social world more effectively.If you're interested in learning more about IRL Social Skills or supporting their work, you can visit their crowdfunding campaign on SMBX. Mara and her team are doing incredible work, and it's inspiring to see the positive impact they're making in so many lives.tl;dr:* Introduction and Mission of IRL Social Skills: Mara Mcloughlin, founder of IRL Social Skills, explains that the program helps autistic and other socially struggling individuals (teens, young adults, and older adults) to initiate, cultivate, and sustain relationships. The program focuses on teaching social skills in a safe, community-based environment.* Success Stories and Teaching Methods: Mara shares success stories, including a teen who gained friends and an adult who improved their professional social skills. She describes teaching methods such as using small talk strategically to find common interests, giving appropriate compliments, and fostering genuine connections.* Challenges and Strategies in Social and Romantic Interactions: Mara discusses the challenges neurodivergent individuals face in social and romantic interactions. She emphasizes the importance of building basic friendship skills, understanding and interpreting body sensations, and developing strategies to manage social interactions effectively.* Business Model and Crowdfunding Campaign: IRL Social Skills operates as a for-profit business and is raising investment capital through a crowdfunding campaign on SMBX. Mara encourages people to learn more about the offering on the SMBX website.* Mara's Superpower and Empathy: Mara identifies empathy as her superpower, sharing a personal story of helping her partner recover communication skills after a stroke. She offers advice on developing empathy by reflecting on how one would feel in others' situations and the importance of somatic understanding.How to Develop Empathy As a SuperpowerMara McLoughlin's superpower is her profound empathy, which she describes as a lifelong trait. Her ability to deeply understand and feel for others drives her work at IRL Social Skills, where she helps neurodivergent individuals build meaningful connections. By fostering an inclusive environment, Mara ensures that everyone has the opportunity to be understood and supported.Mara shared a compelling story about her partner, who had a stroke and lost his ability to speak. Through her empathetic approach, Mara tirelessly documented his attempts to regain speech and navigate workplace accommodations. Her efforts led to a successful settlement with his employer, who had initially failed to provide necessary accommodations. This experience underscores how Mara's empathy translates into concrete actions that significantly impact others' lives.Tips for Developing Empathy:* Reflect on Reversed Situations: Regularly think about how you would feel if you were in someone else's shoes. Focus on not just the mental but also the physical sensations you might experience.* Engage in Active Listening: Pay close attention to others when they speak, showing genuine interest in their experiences and feelings.* Practice Compassionate Responses: Respond to others with kindness and understanding, acknowledging their emotions and validating their experiences.* Learn from Diverse Perspectives: Interact with people from different backgrounds and experiences to broaden your understanding and appreciation of various viewpoints.* Create Inclusive Environments: Foster spaces where everyone feels welcome and supported, ensuring that no one feels isolated or misunderstood.By following Mara's example and advice, you can make empathy a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.
