We've all heard of “fight, flight, freeze,” but there's a fourth survival instinct that's harder to spot. “Fawning” can look like people-pleasing, and it's often applauded in society. But over time, it can wear down your ability to feel safe when someone close to you feels unhappy, disappointed or upset. And it can lead to overly focusing on what other people think, instead of being in-tune with yourself.  So how do you know when you're fawning? Today's guest, psychotherapist Meg Josephson suggests asking yourself, “Am I abandoning myself to keep the peace?” In her conversation with Leah, Meg explains where the fawn response comes from, how it can impact your relationships and day-to-day life, and solutions for how to deal with it in different contexts.  Order Meg's book Are You Mad at Me? How to Stop Focusing on What Others Think and Start Living for You here.  Follow Leah Smart and Meg Josephson on LinkedIn.

What if you could take back control of your bladder, feel strong and supported from the inside out, and transform how you move through midlife, starting with your pelvic floor? This week, we’re going there. I’m joined by Kim Vopni, widely known as The Vagina Coach, a pioneer in pelvic health education, bestselling author, and founder of the Buff Muff Method. We break the silence around issues like incontinence, prolapse, and pelvic pain, topics often brushed off or suffered through in silence. Kim shares why pelvic health is central to longevity, energy, and confidence, and how women can ditch the shame and start healing. We talk about why Kegels are not a one-size-fits-all solution, the difference between hypertonic and hypotonic pelvic floors, and why habits like straining or skipping water can quietly sabotage your core. If you’ve ever leaked while laughing, or quietly wondered if what you're feeling is normal, this episode is your permission slip to ask questions, get answers, and reclaim your pelvic power. Key Takeaways: Pelvic health is essential for midlife vitality and long-term wellness Leakage, urgency, prolapse, and pain are common—but not inevitable Kegels aren’t a universal solution; some women need relaxation, not just strength Professional pelvic health evaluations are game-changing Constipation, dehydration and bathroom habits directly affect pelvic floor health Your feet and posture influence your pelvic alignment Education around pelvic health should start earlier and happen more often Shame and silence are the biggest barriers to healing Watch the full episode here: https://youtu.be/4Rx14InFehESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There's no first place or last place here. Life is not a competition. Often people use money and the acquisition of things to measure where they stand: who's got the nicer house, the fancier car, the vacation home, but the truth is, we can't predict how long we'll live or the state of our health as we age. The reality is, it doesn't matter where we start. It's how we finish that counts. And my guess is that being the richest man in the graveyard is not the goal.

Many of us feel under constant pressure to optimise every moment, to become more efficient, more productive and somehow more worthy. But what if embracing our limits could be the key to living a calmer, more meaningful life? This week's returning guest on my Feel Better, Live More podcast, Oliver Burkeman, believes that accepting that we can't do everything might just set us free. Oliver is the author of the Sunday Times bestselling ‘Four Thousand Weeks' and ‘The Antidote', and for many years wrote a popular weekly column on psychology for the Guardian. His work has also appeared in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Psychologies and New Philosopher. His latest book, ‘Meditations for Mortals: A Four Week Guide to Doing What Counts', takes us on a liberating journey towards a more meaningful life – one that begins not with fantasies of the ideal existence, but with the reality in which we actually find ourselves. Designed as a four-week ‘retreat of the mind', it offers daily wisdom, solace and inspiration to aid a saner, freer and more enchantment-filled way of living. In our brilliant conversation, we discuss: Why the belief that life will finally feel easier once we clear our to-do list is such a persistent illusion How shifting our focus from endless achievement to small, present moments can transform the way we experience each day Why the fantasy of perfect decisions keeps us stuck in indecision, and how accepting the downsides of any choice can set us free How our fear of wasting time is often rooted in perfectionism, and why many of us feel we have to earn our worth through effort The liberating idea of daily-ish habits – a flexible, compassionate way to keep showing up without turning routines into self-criticism Why we don't need to wait for life to feel calm or under control before we start living with more intention How embracing our limits and accepting that time is finite can help us feel more fully alive and connected I was delighted to have the opportunity to speak to Oliver again as he brings such clarity and compassion to questions so many of us grapple with. Instead of offering yet another system for getting more done, this conversation is about stepping back, loosening our grip and recognising that a good life isn't measured by productivity but by presence, meaning and connection.

Elisha takes you deep into Genesis 1:26 to uncover the truth about being made in God's image.   You were not created to survive by feelings or be shaped by society's confusion, you were created to rule, reign, and exercise dominion.   Amb. Elisha exposes cultural lies that distort identity, from redefining truth to calling sin “self-care,” and shows how the enemy uses these deceptions to frustrate God's design.   Through Scripture, real-life illustrations, and a moving story of transformation, he explains why living outside of God's influence leads to malfunction and destruction.   What you'll learn in this episode:   • Why living by feelings is dangerous and leads to devastation.   • The real reason you were made in God's image, to exercise dominion.   • How culture and the enemy try to contaminate your purpose.   • Why you don't need to “find” your purpose — you awaken to it.   • How to activate your assignment under God to beautify the world and glorify Him.   Conclusion: You were sent to Earth because you were needed.

What happens when ambition—the very quality that's supposed to fuel our success—ends up making us sick?My guest today, Amina AlTai, knows this firsthand. On a sweltering July morning in New York City, she got a call from her doctor that changed everything: if she didn't head to the hospital immediately, she was just days away from multiple organ failure. The cause? Years of overwork and overstriving, rooted in her experience as the child of immigrants, navigating a post-9/11 workplace with an Arab name, and feeling she had to be the hardest working person in the room to matter.That wake-up call set Amina on a journey of healing and reinvention, eventually becoming an executive coach to senior leaders and women around the world. From her work and her own life, she's come to see that ambition isn't the enemy—but the way we relate to it can be. In her new book The Ambition Trap: How to Stop Chasing and Start Living, she introduces us to two kinds of ambition: the painful kind, driven by wounds like rejection or injustice, and the purposeful kind, rooted in truth and wholeness.We'll talk about how to spot the difference, how to break free from the “painful ambition” that leaves us exhausted and disconnected, and what it looks like to redirect that drive in ways that nourish us, support our communities, and bring lasting fulfillment.

If you've ever sidestepped a tough conversation, ignored a problem, or avoided something that scares you, this episode is for you. Avoidance and anxiety often go hand-on-hand. Avoiding a problem helps you feel better right now, but it leads to long-term problems. It also makes anxiety worse in the long run. Today I'm joined by Dr. Robin Walser, clinical psychologist and expert in acceptance and commitment therapy. Together, we explore why we avoid, how it impacts our mental health, and—most importantly—how to break free from the avoidance cycle. Some of the things we talk about are: Why avoidance feels good in the short term but keeps you stuck in the long run How avoidance shrinks your life and disconnects you from the things that matter most to you The surprising ways avoidance is reinforced—and how to break the cycle How to face uncomfortable emotions without feeling overwhelmed Why connecting with your values can help you face the things you're trying to avoid How to take small steps toward the things you've been avoiding The link between facing your discomfort and mental strength Subscribe to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Mentally Stronger Premium⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for exclusive content like bonus episodes, signed books, and 30-day challenges that will keep you growing stronger.
