Podcasts about Softening

The panel explored the intersection of natural and man-made materials in landscape design, highlighting the balance between aesthetic, sustainability, and functional concerns. Participants discussed how interior and landscape designers borrow nature to create cohesive environments, including outdoor “rooms” and hardscape features softened with plantings. Material selection — stone, metal, glass, composite decking, and synthetic turf — was debated, with attention to local sourcing, durability, environmental impact, and client expectations. The panel also emphasized the sensory experience of landscapes, touching on sight, sound, smell, and taste, and how design can evoke memory and emotion. Sustainability, fire safety, maintenance, and longevity were recurring themes, particularly in the adoption of synthetic materials that mimic natural ones while reducing environmental or upkeep costs. Borrowed landscape: Using surrounding natural colors and textures to inform material choices in hardscape design. Softening hardscape: Plantings and layered design to maintain depth without overwhelming the property. Context-appropriate material selection: Stone, metal, glass, gravel, and concrete chosen according to environment, use, and climate. Trend toward natural imperfection: Broken edges, less precision, biophilic design responding to a highly digital, precise world. Sustainability tensions: Balancing natural and synthetic materials for longevity, cost, and environmental impact. Synthetic decking and recycled composites: TimberTech and similar products for durability, low maintenance, and fire safety. Artificial turf considerations: High-use areas, water savings, lifespan, recycling challenges. Sensory-driven design: Sight, sound, smell, and taste incorporated into landscapes for holistic human experiences. Childhood memory and emotional recall: Design that evokes personal sensory memory for users. Fire and climate constraints: Materials must meet modern safety and insurance standards.

In this episode of Power Producer Shop Talk, host David Carothers delivers a masterclass on navigating the shift from a hard to a soft market, emphasizing that the time to prepare is now. With reinsurance renewals signaling a softening, David warns that the easy "price shopping" wins of the hard market are disappearing, and producers must pivot to value-based selling to displace incumbents who are now delivering good news (rate decreases). David also breaks down the Total Cost of Risk (TCOR) conversation, explaining why it is the ultimate differentiator for accounts in the $100k-$250k premium range. He details how to uncover "hidden" costs like active vs. passive retained losses and why many businesses are overpaying by acting as their own insurance company without getting the credit for it. Key Highlights: The Market Pivot: Hard to Soft David explains that while the message remains consistent, the delivery must change as we move from a hard market (where incumbents deliver bad news) to a soft market (where they deliver rate decreases). Producers must "sew their seeds" now by cleaning up accounts and focusing on Total Cost of Risk to lock in clients before the next hard cycle hits. Total Cost of Risk (TCOR) Explained For producers intimidated by financial jargon, David simplifies TCOR. It's not just premium—it's the sum of insurance costs, retained losses, and risk management expenses. He explains that using the word "cost" instead of "price" or "premium" instantly elevates the conversation and positions you as a strategic partner rather than a vendor. Active vs. Passive Retained Losses David dives into the nuance of retained losses. An active retained loss is a conscious decision (e.g., a high deductible or choosing not to buy cyber coverage). A passive retained loss is an unexpected hit (e.g., an uncovered claim due to an exclusion). He shares a story of a contractor paying all claims under $5k out of pocket without getting any deductible credit—a massive opportunity for a savvy producer to step in and structure a proper program. Overcoming Obstacles with Creativity David shares a personal example of how he handles Department of Defense (DoD) contractors. Since he lacks the security clearance to inspect classified manufacturing areas, he uses a service called Yellowbird to hire ex-military professionals with active clearances to perform the loss control inspections. This creative problem-solving eliminates a major barrier to entry that stops most competitors in their tracks. The $100k-$250k Sweet Spot While TCOR works for larger accounts, David argues that the $100k-$250k premium space is the "fertile ground" where this conversation is most effective. These businesses are often large enough to have complex risks but small enough that they haven't been introduced to sophisticated risk management concepts by their current broker.

Hello Beautiful, I'm so grateful you're here with me.

In this episode, I take you deep into a subject many of us are unconsciously living: emotional suppression. I share how years of censoring my emotions—especially excitement, joy, and sadness—impacted my nervous system, my digestion, and most of all, my relationships.This conversation isn't just about understanding trauma; it's about reclaiming the joy and vitality that's been shut down for years. I walk you through my own story of softening the inner rigidity, allowing myself to be witnessed in my most vulnerable states, and how that changed everything—from connection to my health to my sense of self.We explore what emotional neglect really looks like (even in homes that looked “functional”), why we've learned to fake connection, and how returning to authenticity and emotional safety is at the heart of true healing. If you're ready to take off the mask and create a life that feels like home—you're not alone.https://marinayt.com/the-unburdened-heart Connect with me:❥Softening into self- 3 month 1:1 with Whats App Support:https://marina-yt.mykajabi.com/offers/PAWQhZHu❥❥1:1 Coaching with me: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfWcZM5s9c2OjOLwoGMI5jE6rh_JAzjN2d_vCtuVe7e3pVGxw/viewform❥❥❥Stay or Go Course: ⁠https://marinayt.com/stay-or-go⁠ ❥❥❥❥ FREE RESOURCE: a step-by-step process of working with your triggersTRIGGERED TO ROOTED: A ROADMAP TO CREATE TREASURES FROM YOUR TRIGGERSThis powerful step by step process will walk you through how to somatically move through a trigger, ground yourself, allow the emotions to come up and experience massive growth in your lifeDownload here:⁠ ⁠https://marinayt.com/trigger-2-rooted⁠⁠Follow me on Instagram:⁠ ⁠www.instagram.com/marina.y.t⁠⁠ Subscribe to YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@marinatriner Top Episode Quotes:“There is such a deep cost to not being seen, and there's such a beautiful benefit when we are.”“We don't just need to cry—we need to be witnessed in our tears.”“You're monitoring yourself and others so much, you don't even realize how much you've been shrinking.”“Fake connection is what we settle for when we believe the real us isn't lovable.”“You're not too much.

In this episode of Power Producer Shoptalk, host David Carothers kicks off the new year with a deep dive into the shifting dynamics of the reinsurance market and what producers need to do to prepare for a softening market. He emphasizes that the "bad news" hard market—where price shopping is rampant—is giving way to a "good news" soft market, where incumbents are harder to displace. David also outlines his aggressive goal to write $1 million in new business revenue in 2026, promising to "show, not tell" by documenting every step of the process. The core of this episode focuses on the Total Cost of Risk (TCOR) sales conversation: how to have it, why it works best in the $100k-$250k premium space, and why getting a Letter of Engagement before going to market is non-negotiable for serious producers. Key Highlights: The Shift from Hard to Soft Market David discusses the recent reinsurance renewals and the early signs of a softening market. He warns producers that the strategies used during the hard market (competing on price when incumbents deliver bad news) will no longer work. In a soft market, incumbents deliver rate decreases, making it harder to get appointments. Now is the time to "sew your seeds" and pivot your messaging. The "Show, Don't Tell" 2026 Challenge David announces his personal goal to write $1 million in new business revenue in 2026. He commits to documenting the entire journey—prospecting, meetings, and closing—in real-time, shifting his content focus back to the trenches of Florida Risk Partners to prove that his methods work in today's environment. Mastering the Total Cost of Risk (TCOR) Conversation This episode is a masterclass on the TCOR sales process. David explains why he never goes to market without a signed Letter of Engagement on middle-market accounts. He breaks down the ideal premium sweet spot ($100k-$250k) where this conversation is most effective, noting that accounts in this range are often hearing about TCOR and broker selection for the first time. Qualifying the Decision Maker David shares a critical soft-skill tactic for identifying the true decision maker without offending your point of contact. Instead of bluntly asking "Are you the decision maker?", he suggests asking: "Is there anyone else who is typically part of the decision-making process that we should include in our next meeting?" This question preserves relationships while ensuring you aren't wasting time pitching to someone who can't sign the check. Stop "Quoting and Hoping" The episode challenges the traditional "quote and hope" strategy of waiting 90 days out to shop a renewal. David argues that this method commoditizes the producer. Instead, he advocates for a consultative approach that secures the client's commitment before doing the work, using a Letter of Engagement to validate the relationship and take control of the market.

What if the very feelings you've been running from are not the problem… but the doorway to your freedom? In today's episode, you're about to experience one of the most gentle, profound, and transformational meditations I've ever guided. It's called Softening Into Courage — and it teaches something radically different from what most of us have learned about fear, anxiety, guilt, and emotional discomfort. Instead of fixing, forcing, analyzing, or pushing anything away… you'll learn how to soften. How to walk toward what you've been avoiding. How to meet fear without fighting it — and watch it lose its power. Through an "imaginary monster" exercise and a deeply moving surrender practice, you'll discover how your nervous system already knows how to heal… if you simply give it space. You'll hear real moments of transformation, where guilt turns into pride, fear becomes courage, and long-held tension finally releases. If you've ever felt stuck in your emotions… overwhelmed by guilt… anxious about what you might feel… or exhausted from trying to control your inner world — this meditation may change the way you relate to yourself forever. So find a quiet place. Let your shoulders soften. Open your hands. Because you don't need to be fixed. You just need a little space. And today… you're about to give yourself exactly that.

Fear isn't the enemy of great leadership. Ignoring it is.   How often do you walk into a meeting already bracing for impact? Or catch yourself shrinking back in a moment where you meant to lead with clarity? Sarah Lockwood sits down with Beck Sydow, the founder of HumanKind Business Leaders, and Marina Suholutsky, the founder of PurposeBuilt, for a conversation on emotional self-regulation, fear in business, and the kind of inner work that makes better leadership possible.   They explore how fear lives in the body, how it shows up in the boardroom, and why most founders are still operating from old survival patterns without realizing it. You'll hear why simply pushing through isn't a strategy and how learning to notice your internal state (tight shoulders, shallow breath, reactive thinking) can open the door to more aligned decisions. Beck and Marina walk through tools for getting out of autopilot, including body scans, self-inquiry, and what they call “active choice,” the skill of pausing just long enough to shift out of fear and back into presence.   This doesn't just explain why inner work matters. It shows you how to begin. Whether you're leading a team, building a company, or trying to show up more fully for your own vision, this is the kind of episode that gets under the surface and invites you to lead from a deeper, steadier place.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Emotional Self-Regulation in Leadership 02:19 Why Fear and Suffering Matter for Founders 05:03 How the Amygdala Shapes Fear in Business 06:08 Welcoming Fear as a Tool, Not a Threat 10:08 Tools for Recognizing and Naming Fear 14:06 The Leadership Power of Softening and Owning Fear 18:13 Making Active Choices to Lead with Awareness   Links Connect with Beck Sydow: Connect with Beck on LinkedIn  Humankind Business Leaders   Connect with Marina Suholutsky: Connect with Marina on LinkedIn  PurposeBuilt   Connect with Sarah Lockwood: Connect with Sarah on LinkedIn Visit HiveCast   Connect with The Conscious Entrepreneur: Visit The Conscious Entrepreneur website  Follow The Conscious Entrepreneur on LinkedIn Follow The Conscious Entrepreneur on Instagram  Subscribe to The Conscious Entrepreneur on YouTube   HiveCast.fm is a proud sponsor of The Conscious Entrepreneur Podcast.   Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

Send us a textIn this New Year episode of Nourish the Nervous System, we explore winter not as a time for pushing forward or reinventing ourselves, but as a season of subtlety, listening, and inward refinement.Rather than loud resolutions or high-energy goals, winter invites a quieter kind of awareness — one that whispers instead of shouts. Through the Ayurvedic lens of Vata dosha and the Sanskrit quality sukshma (the subtle), we explore how this season affects the nervous system, our emotions, and our inner rhythms.This episode is an invitation to slow down, tune in, and honor sensitivity as a form of strength — not fragility.In this episode, we explore:Why New Year's energy can feel misaligned in the deep of winterThe contrast between summer's outward buzz and winter's inward stillnessVata dosha in winter, with a focus on sukshma (the subtle quality)How winter heightens nervous system sensitivity and perceptionSubtle signs many people notice this time of year, including:quiet or lingering fatiguelow-grade anxietyemotional waves without a clear storyincreased sensitivity to sound, light, and conversationTranslating Ayurveda into modern language:sensory processingnervous system loadWhy “subtle” does not mean weak — it means attunedHow winter can surface emotional material without anything being “wrong”The cultural pressure to feel “up” and productive — even in winterHonoring rest without slipping into stagnation or disconnectionPractical ways to support sukshma energy in winter:Softening the edges of your day and reducing transitionsCreating sensory nourishment with dim lighting, quiet, and warmthUsing warm oil (especially on the feet) to ground the nervous systemStaying connected to intuition through journaling, somatic awareness, or creative expressionBalancing subtlety with sthula (the gross, tangible quality) through grounding movement:strength-based exercisewalking outdoorsusing larger muscle groupsgetting fresh air and natural lightReflection questions for the week:What feels louder now that life is quieter?What is asking for attention?What no longer fits?You're invited to sit with these questions gently — through journaling, meditation, or simply noticing what arises.Mentioned in this episode:Gentle Ayurvedic Guide to Perimenopause Rhythm & Ritual — a small-group seasonal cohort for perimenopause, Ayurveda, and somatic supportSpring and Fall cohortsFocused on rhythm, nervous system regulation, and seasonal wisdomJoin the waitlist to learn moreWinter doesn't ask us to fix ourselves.

In this episode is a love letter to anyone who feels like life is just… a lot. I'm sharing the real, raw truth of what 2025 looked like for me—heartbreak, financial struggle, estrangement, and navigating grief from multiple angles. But more than that, I'm sharing the deeper story underneath it all: the internal programming that made it feel like life had to be hard, and the powerful shift I've been making toward ease.If your nervous system has been wired to anticipate threat, if “good” has always equaled “difficult,” or if you're exhausted from always fighting for the life you want—this episode is for you.I'm unpacking the ancestral roots of over-functioning, the illusion that suffering equals worthiness, and what it means to rewire your body toward softness, ease, and presence.We talk about nervous system safety, letting go of “doing it right,” and learning to be with what is—mess and all.JOIN THE EASE MASTERCLASS ON JAN 21st:https://marinayt.com/ease-masterclassConnect with me:❥Softening into self- 3 month 1:1 with Whats App Support:https://marina-yt.mykajabi.com/offers/PAWQhZHu❥❥1:1 Coaching with me: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfWcZM5s9c2OjOLwoGMI5jE6rh_JAzjN2d_vCtuVe7e3pVGxw/viewform❥❥❥Stay or Go Course: ⁠https://marinayt.com/stay-or-go⁠ ❥❥❥❥ FREE RESOURCE: a step-by-step process of working with your triggersTRIGGERED TO ROOTED: A ROADMAP TO CREATE TREASURES FROM YOUR TRIGGERSThis powerful step by step process will walk you through how to somatically move through a trigger, ground yourself, allow the emotions to come up and experience massive growth in your lifeDownload here:⁠ ⁠https://marinayt.com/trigger-2-rooted⁠⁠Follow me on Instagram:⁠ ⁠www.instagram.com/marina.y.t⁠⁠ Subscribe to YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@marinatriner Top Episode Quotes:“Our systems are so used to looking for the threat, we forget how to let in ease.”“I thought life had to be hard for it to be meaningful—and that nearly broke me.”“Ease doesn't mean life is perfect.

What does it mean to be erotically alive—and how do we reclaim that connection after trauma, disconnection, or years of shutting down?In this intimate and illuminating conversation, I'm joined by trauma-informed somatic educator and Netflix's Sex, Love & goop expert Darshana Avila. Together, we unpack the deeper meaning of erotic aliveness, the body as a gateway to truth, and how our capacity for pleasure and power is often buried beneath layers of cultural conditioning and trauma.We explore the role of somatic safety in true intimacy, what it means to center the body over the mind in healing work, and how you can begin to feel more at home within yourself again.Darshana shares potent reflections from her own life, as well as embodied tools you can begin practicing now to move from shutdown to sensation, from dissociation to desire.This episode is a powerful reminder: your pleasure is not frivolous—it's foundational. And reclaiming it is a radical, healing act.Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/gHt7QKw8K1gConnect with Darshana:www.darshanaavila.comwww.instagram.com/darshana_avilawww.youtube.com/@darshana-avilawww.linkedin.com/in/darshana-avilaFREE GIFT: skool.com/galgasmGalgasm! is a free online community hub for women and AFAB folks ready to live, love and lead from their deepest pleasure and power.

This episode drops on Christmas Day, and instead of a polished year-end recap, Michelle offers a slow, embodied reflection on the year that was. She shares why she chose rhythm as her guiding word, how that intention reshaped her relationship with movement, rest, and energy, and why perimenopause became an unexpected teacher in listening more closely to her body.Michelle explores the cultural pressure to “account for” ourselves at the end of the year—and why not following through on a plan is not a moral failure, but often information, wisdom, or a nervous system response asking for care. She reflects on healing a long-complicated relationship with movement through weight-neutral personal training and a renewed yoga practice, and how these shifts supported emotional regulation, presence, and rest.The episode also traces how these personal insights influenced the evolution of Wayza Health, including the release of Nourish Yourself: Body+Mind, the creation of The Self-Trust Lab, and the development of A Year of Coming Home. Michelle shares why nervous system capacity is foundational to any change work—and how slowing down, rather than hustling, has guided both her business and her deeper training in trauma-informed, somatic practices.This is a gentle invitation to reflect on your own year with compassion, to question rigid definitions of success, and to consider what it might look like to choose rhythm over pressure as you move into the next season.

In this solo episode, I open up about the unexpected connection between being a deep feeler and living life in performance mode. From my personal story of burnout and relationship misalignment to the experiences of my clients, I unpack how sensitivity, rejection, and the need for deep connection can drive us to overwork, people-please, and push ourselves beyond our limits. If you're a high-achieving, highly sensitive person who still feels unfulfilled no matter how much you accomplish — this episode is for you. Together, we explore what it really means to meet your core needs, and how aligning with your true essence creates more success, ease, and joy.Connect with me:❥Softening into self- 3 month 1:1 with Whats App Support:https://marina-yt.mykajabi.com/offers/PAWQhZHu❥❥1:1 Coaching with me: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfWcZM5s9c2OjOLwoGMI5jE6rh_JAzjN2d_vCtuVe7e3pVGxw/viewform❥❥❥Stay or Go Course: ⁠https://marinayt.com/stay-or-go⁠ ❥❥❥❥ FREE RESOURCE: a step-by-step process of working with your triggersTRIGGERED TO ROOTED: A ROADMAP TO CREATE TREASURES FROM YOUR TRIGGERSThis powerful step by step process will walk you through how to somatically move through a trigger, ground yourself, allow the emotions to come up and experience massive growth in your lifeDownload here:⁠ ⁠https://marinayt.com/trigger-2-rooted⁠⁠Follow me on Instagram:⁠ ⁠www.instagram.com/marina.y.t⁠⁠ Subscribe to YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@marinatriner Top Episode Quotes:"Being highly sensitive and a deep feeler is challenging — but ignoring it costs you your fulfillment.""Your satisfaction doesn't come from performing, it comes from depth, vulnerability, and being seen.""We perform to feel worthy, but that survival pattern blocks us from the connection we actually crave.""You're not ‘too much' — you've just been giving your empathy and energy to people who don't return it.""True success doesn't require you to abandon yourself — it comes when you come back to who you are."deep feeler podcast, high achiever burnout, somatic healing, nervous system regulation, emotional sensitivity, trauma healing, authentic living, personal transformation, inner child work, somatic coaching, performance trauma, HSP podcast, inner healing, overachiever anxiety, emotional healing podcast

This week, I did something that felt incredibly vulnerable. I voiced a desire—openly, bravely—and then had to sit in the discomfort of waiting. That space between expression and response cracked me wide open. In this solo episode, I take you inside that raw experience and reflect on how I've spent most of my life suppressing my desires because they never felt safe to have.I explore how childhood messaging shaped my relationship with longing, why desire became tangled with shame, and how so many of us were taught that being “good” meant not needing anything. I share what it's taken for me to slowly reclaim the right to want, to feel, to long for more without fear of rejection. We'll talk about the difference between desire and control, the nervous system's response to not being met, and how learning to sit in our longing—without shrinking or numbing—can be the most liberating act of self-love.This is an intimate conversation about emotional maturity, the pain of unmet needs, and the sacredness of choosing to feel it all. If you've ever been told you're “too much,” or found yourself performing perfection to avoid discomfort, I hope this episode makes you feel a little more seen, held, and empowered.Connect with me:❥Softening into self- 3 month 1:1 with Whats App Support:https://marina-yt.mykajabi.com/offers/PAWQhZHu❥❥1:1 Coaching with me: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfWcZM5s9c2OjOLwoGMI5jE6rh_JAzjN2d_vCtuVe7e3pVGxw/viewform❥❥❥Stay or Go Course: ⁠https://marinayt.com/stay-or-go⁠ ❥❥❥❥ FREE RESOURCE: a step-by-step process of working with your triggersTRIGGERED TO ROOTED: A ROADMAP TO CREATE TREASURES FROM YOUR TRIGGERSThis powerful step by step process will walk you through how to somatically move through a trigger, ground yourself, allow the emotions to come up and experience massive growth in your lifeDownload here:⁠ ⁠https://marinayt.com/trigger-2-rooted⁠⁠Follow me on Instagram:⁠ ⁠www.instagram.com/marina.y.t⁠⁠ Subscribe to YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@marinatriner Top Episode Quotes:“Desire itself isn't painful.

Robert Conzo, CEO of The Wealth Alliance, breaks down recent economic data, noting the slight uptick in unemployment and softer job numbers. He discusses how these figures might influence the Federal Reserve's future interest rate decisions, suggesting that more rate cuts could be on the horizon. The conversation also touches on the potential for a new Fed chair, with Hassett and Warsh as front-runners, and the political independence of the Federal Reserve. Despite some market digestion, Conzo maintains a positive outlook for the broader market.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

As The Bid takes a short break for the holidays, we're introducing listeners to Market Take, the weekly macro podcast from the BlackRock Investment Institute. Market Take offers fast, digestible insights on what's moving markets - and this week, the focus is squarely on the labor market.Senior Economist Nicholas Fawcett breaks down why softer U.S. labor data is reinforcing expectations for another potential Federal Reserve rate cut. With hiring and labor supply both cooling, policymakers are watching these trends closely as they navigate the balance between inflation control and economic resilience. Nicholas also explores how delayed jobs data complicates the Fed's visibility into the economy, what markets are pricing in ahead of the December meeting, and how fiscal dynamics in the UK are shaping long-term bond views.Whether you're tracking monetary policy, macro signals, or broader capital markets trends, this short episode offers a concise view of the forces shaping the economic backdrop.Key Insights· The U.S. labor market is softening, raising the likelihood of another Fed rate cut.· Payrolls show a “no hiring, no firing” pattern as labor demand and supply slow.· Delayed jobs data may create noise, but markets still expect a quarter-point cut.· Fiscal tightening in the UK influences gilt valuations and long-term yield dynamics.· Labor market trends, inflation, and rates continue to guide broader market sentimentlabor market, inflation, interest rates, Federal Reserve, capital markets, macro trends, market commentary, economic outlookThis content is for informational purposes only and is not an offer or a solicitation.

In this episode of the Food Junkies Podcast, Clarissa and Molly sit down with psychologist Dr. Carrie Wilkens to unpack what it really means to help people change without shame, stigma, or power struggles. Drawing from decades of work in substance use, eating disorders, trauma, and family systems, Carrie invites us to rethink "denial," "relapse," "codependency," and even the disease model itself, while still honoring the seriousness of addiction and the depth of people's pain. Together, we explore how self-compassion, curiosity, and values-based behavior change can transform not only individual recovery but also how families, helpers, and communities show up for the people they love. In this episode, we explore: Lived experience & professional work How Carrie's own long-term healing around food and her body continues to shape the compassion and curiosity she brings to her work. The idea that our relationship with food and our bodies changes across the lifespan—and why "lifelong relationship management" matters more than perfection. Do you have to be "in recovery" to help? The pressures clinicians face when they're asked, "Are you in recovery?" and how that question can be loaded with judgment and assumptions. Why personal experience with a specific substance or behavior is not a prerequisite to being deeply effective as a helper. How Carrie talks with clients and families about her own history in a way that's honest, boundaried, and clinically useful. Rethinking 'denial' and harmful language Why words like "denial," "addict," "codependent," "chronic relapser," and "it's a slippery slope" can shut people down rather than open them up. A more curious approach: asking "What do you mean by that?" and unpacking the real story underneath labels. How language can either invite people into self-understanding—or reinforce shame, fear, and disconnection. Softening the disease model without minimizing the problem Nuanced ways to honor addiction as a serious, complex disorder without collapsing everything into a rigid disease frame. How fear (of overdose, loss, chaos, or death) drives a lot of rigid thinking in systems and professionals. Why behavior change is slow, non-linear, and rarely a straight line—and how accepting that can actually make care more effective. Relapse as an "old solution that once worked" Carrie's reframe of relapse as returning to an old behavior that, at one time, made sense and worked on some level. How naming the function of a behavior (soothing, numbing, regulating, connecting) opens the door to new, less harmful solutions. The difference between "You didn't want it enough" and "Your brain reached for an old strategy that once helped you survive." The Invitation to Change Approach (ITC) The core elements of ITC: Motivational interviewing–informed curiosity and ambivalence exploration. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and values-based living. A deep commitment to self-compassion as a foundation for behavior change. Why ITC was originally developed for family members and then adapted for people with substance use concerns themselves. How the "wheel" of ITC lets people step in wherever they are—self-awareness, values, behavior strategies, or compassion—and build over time. Families, shame, and staying engaged without "tough love" Inviting family members to ask: "How does my loved one's behavior make sense?" instead of "What's wrong with them?" How this shift helps parents and partners move from fear and control into strategy, support, and skillful engagement. Concrete examples of how families can respond to return to use with curiosity, concern, and clearer communication instead of lectures or ultimatums. Codependency and other overused labels Why Carrie has never formally diagnosed anyone with "codependency." What often lives underneath that label: trauma histories, cultural norms, attachment dynamics, fear of loss, and learned survival strategies. How flattening all of that into "codependent" erases nuance and blocks meaningful change. Neurodivergence, trauma, and substance use/eating behaviors The high rates of PTSD and ADHD among people seeking help for substance use—and why that matters for treatment design. Carrie's reflection on her own undiagnosed ADHD and how it likely drove much of her earlier eating disorder behavior. How binges, purging, and substance use can function as powerful nervous system regulators, especially for neurodivergent and trauma-impacted brains. Why we need more ground-up, neurodivergent- and trauma-informed approaches that focus on emotion regulation, executive functioning, and skill-building. Self-compassion as a behavior change superpower Carrie's journey from skepticism ("this sounds too woo") to seeing self-compassion as essential, research-backed behavior-change work. How self-compassion reduces shame, helps people tolerate slow progress, and makes it safer to look honestly at their own behavior. Using both "tender" and "fierce" self-compassion to choose boundaries, seek support, and keep moving through discomfort. Reimagining 'expert' roles and community care Why Carrie is skeptical of rigid expert hierarchies in addiction treatment. Inviting families, community leaders, and lay helpers into the work through accessible tools like ITC groups and trainings. The power of giving non-clinicians simple, evidence-based language and frameworks so they can respond with compassion instead of panic or shame. About Dr. Carrie Wilkens Carrie Wilkens, PhD, is a psychologist with more than 25 years of experience in the practice and dissemination of evidence-based treatments for substance use and post-traumatic stress. She is the Co-President and CEO of CMC: Foundation for Change, a nonprofit dedicated to bringing evidence-based ideas and strategies to families, communities, and professionals supporting people struggling with substances. Carrie is a co-developer of the Invitation to Change (ITC) Approach, an accessible, skills-based framework that helps families stay engaged, reduce shame, and effectively support a loved one's behavior change. ITC is now used across the U.S. and internationally in groups, trainings, and community programs. She is co-author of the award-winning book Beyond Addiction: How Science and Kindness Help People Change, which adapts the Community Reinforcement and Family Training (CRAFT) model for families, and co-author of The Beyond Addiction Workbook for Family and Friends, a practical, evidence-based guide for loved ones who want concrete tools to support change without sacrificing their own wellbeing. Carrie is also Co-Founder and Clinical Director of the Center for Motivation and Change (CMC), a group of clinicians providing evidence-based care in New York City, Long Island, Washington, DC, San Diego, and at CMC: Berkshires, a private residential program for adults. She has served as Project Director on a large SAMHSA-funded grant addressing college binge drinking and is frequently sought out by media outlets including CBS This Morning, the Katie Couric Show, NPR, and HBO's Risky Drinking to speak on substance use and behavior change.

This week, Caroline and Lars break down another volatile shift in the market — from weakening global demand to unusual rate distortions and rising geopolitical risks.In this episode:NYFI loaded spot rates for Asia–North Europe and the PacificA rare 20′ > 40′ price inversion on TA EastboundGlobal demand dropping sharply — and why Asia–Europe is the culpritTariff investigations and the impact on food importsRenewed Thailand–Cambodia tensions and supply chain reroutingA vessel attack in Bab el-Mandeb — but not the kind you thinkWhat a return to the Red Sea would do to TEU miles and capacityA fast, focused update for shippers, NVOs, and anyone watching the 2026 outlook.

In today's conversation, I'm talking about what happens when you grow up in emotional instability, where the people you depended on also became the source of your pain. I share how that kind of environment creates codependency that feels like loyalty, and how stepping away from it can pull you straight into hyper-independence not because you want to be strong, but because your spirit no longer feels safe leaning on anyone.Inside this episode, I'm diving into:✨ How emotional manipulation and gaslighting shaped my sense of safety✨ Why I once believed certain people were the only ones I could trust✨ How motherhood exposed truths I couldn't ignore anymore✨ The shift from codependency into intense hyper-independence✨ Learning to trust my body again after years of survival mode✨ What softening looks like without returning to toxic cycles✨ Creating a new definition of love, safety, and supportIf you've struggled with trust, if you've walked away from people who felt like “home,” or if you're trying to rebuild yourself after emotional chaos this episode will sit gently with your heart.Take a breath.Settle into your body.And allow yourself to soften with me.Because this… This Is Healing.

This was the hardest year of my life. I found myself in the deepest freeze — emotionally, physically, and spiritually. After walking away from a relationship I once thought was my forever, I faced the terrifying realization that I had been outsourcing my safety for most of my life. Safety in men. Safety in money. Safety in pretending everything was fine.In this solo episode, I walk you through the unraveling. The grief, the helplessness, the heartbreak. And the surprising emotion that finally cracked me open and pulled me out of freeze: anger. Not rage — but the deep, righteous anger that reminded me I deserve more.This isn't a “bounce back” story. It's a remembering. If you've ever felt stuck in clinging energy, desperate for love, money, or a way out — I hope this helps you feel seen. I hope it helps you come back to yourself.❥Softening into self- 3 month 1:1 with Whats App Support:https://marina-yt.mykajabi.com/offers/PAWQhZHu❥❥1:1 Coaching with me: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfWcZM5s9c2OjOLwoGMI5jE6rh_JAzjN2d_vCtuVe7e3pVGxw/viewform❥❥❥Stay or Go Course: ⁠https://marinayt.com/stay-or-go⁠ ❥❥❥❥ FREE RESOURCE: a step-by-step process of working with your triggersTRIGGERED TO ROOTED: A ROADMAP TO CREATE TREASURES FROM YOUR TRIGGERSThis powerful step by step process will walk you through how to somatically move through a trigger, ground yourself, allow the emotions to come up and experience massive growth in your lifeDownload here:⁠ ⁠https://marinayt.com/trigger-2-rooted⁠⁠Follow me on Instagram:⁠ ⁠www.instagram.com/marina.y.t⁠⁠ Subscribe to YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@marinatriner Top Episode Quotes:“I was literally enacting helplessness so that my husband would rescue me.”“Anger is the antidote to freeze.

Welcome to The Chrisman Commentary, your go-to daily mortgage news podcast, where industry insights meet expert analysis. Hosted by Robbie Chrisman, this podcast delivers the latest updates on mortgage rates, capital markets, and the forces shaping the housing finance landscape. Whether you're a seasoned professional or just looking to stay informed, you'll get clear, concise breakdowns of market trends and economic shifts that impact the mortgage world.In today's episode, we discuss Freddie Mac's new AI/ML framework set to take effect March 3, 2026. Plus, Robbie sits down with MBA's Marcia Davies for a discussion on lessons from a career that's soon culminating in retirement, and themes such as self-advocacy, and expanding opportunities for the next generation. And we close by examining what sort of deterioration we are seeing in home prices.Today's podcast is presented by Two Dots. Whether it's applying to rent an apartment or take out a loan, today's approval process is full of blind spots and inefficiencies. Critical data sits locked inside documents, leaving companies with an incomplete picture that causes delays, increased risk, and inconsistent decisions. Two Dots is building a better system. One where underwriting and screening is automated not manual. Where applications happen in real-time within a dynamic and contextual conversation. And where better decisions are made faster for everyone.

In this episode, Ashley opens the Akashic Records and channels the guidance for December: this is a softening. The energy may feel more intense as the month begins, but the Records remind us to loosen our grip, to move slowly, and to return to grounded awareness. The message arrives like a teaching in imagery — if you walk too quickly while holding a candle, you risk dropping it. The month ahead is not about fear or contraction, but about walking softly, remembering peace, and allowing spaciousness to form within. After the channeled message, Ashley and Faith explore the astrology of December. They speak about the rapid shifts and transformations unfolding this month and how they reflect the design of the planets themselves — the celestial choreography shaping our collective and personal experience. Ashley then shares deeply from her own life, offering stories from her current season of softening. She speaks about creating space within her heart by gently releasing something that has been part of her story for the past four years, and how this inner unraveling mirrors the guidance coming through the Records. This episode is an invitation to breathe, to soften, and to trust the path as it opens. * * * * * * * * * * * *  Year-End Sale !

In this episode, I'm joined by world-renowned trauma expert Dr. Diane Poole Heller for a profound conversation on attachment wounds, healing relational trauma, and the path back to secure connection. Diane shares insights from decades of work in Somatic Experiencing and her DARe™ model, helping us understand why so many of us feel unsafe in intimacy—and what we can do about it.We explore the origins of avoidant, ambivalent, and disorganized attachment patterns, how early ruptures shape adult relationships, and why nervous system regulation is key to healing. Diane brings a grounded, compassionate perspective to the messy, tender process of becoming securely attached, whether you're in a relationship or not.This conversation is full of lightbulb moments, practical takeaways, and gentle reminders that secure connection is not just possible—it's our birthright.Connect with Diane:www.traumasolutions.comhttps://www.instagram.com/traumaattachmenttraining/❥Softening into self- 3 month 1:1 with Whats App Support:https://marina-yt.mykajabi.com/offers/PAWQhZHu❥❥1:1 Coaching with me: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfWcZM5s9c2OjOLwoGMI5jE6rh_JAzjN2d_vCtuVe7e3pVGxw/viewform❥❥❥Stay or Go Course: ⁠https://marinayt.com/stay-or-go⁠ ❥❥❥❥ FREE RESOURCE: a step-by-step process of working with your triggersTRIGGERED TO ROOTED: A ROADMAP TO CREATE TREASURES FROM YOUR TRIGGERSThis powerful step by step process will walk you through how to somatically move through a trigger, ground yourself, allow the emotions to come up and experience massive growth in your lifeDownload here:⁠ ⁠https://marinayt.com/trigger-2-rooted⁠⁠Follow me on Instagram:⁠ ⁠www.instagram.com/marina.y.t⁠⁠ Subscribe to YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@marinatriner Top Episode Quotes:“Connection is a biological imperative—we're wired to attach, even when it hurts.”“You don't have to wait for a perfect childhood to have a great adulthood.”“Healing attachment wounds isn't about fixing—you're not broken.

You don't have to hold back, You don't have to pretend. Let the expectations collapse, So you can be free. Because there's beauty in the breakdown. So come into that special place, Where your body is relaxed and alert. And begin to notice the natural rhythms of your beautiful body. The soft beating of your heart. The expansion and contraction of your chest and belly. The air entering and exiting your nose. And see if you can consciously slow the rhythm down. Breathing in a little deeper,  Exhaling a little longer. Softening the beating of your heart. Slowing down the movements of your chest.  Slow it all down, And be here. Just breathing. Just being. PAUSE… Your hands are gripped tightly, Around the desire to keep it all together. A need to make sense of it all. Words attempt to figure it out and pull you through, And staying in motion keeps you skating lightly on it all.
