Podcasts about stay grounded

In this episode of Two Pastors and a Mic, Cory and Channock tackle one of the hardest parts of growth: what happens when you change…but the people around you don't. If you've gone through deconstruction, started holding your beliefs more loosely, or found yourself living with more nuance, you've probably felt the tension at the dinner table—Do I speak up? Stay quiet? Change the subject? Because the truth is, most of the time the tension isn't even theological… it's relational.They talk honestly about why your growth can feel threatening to others (even when you're not trying to change anyone), the unspoken agreements relationships can be built on, and the three common temptations that show up in this season: shrinking, proving, or withdrawing. From there, they give five practical tools to help you stay connected without losing yourself—how to lead with curiosity, stop managing other people's reactions, and build safe spaces where you don't have to translate your entire journey just to be understood.If you've felt misunderstood, exhausted, or tempted to pull back from the people you love, this one is for you.In this episode:Why the tension isn't theological—it's relationalThe 3 temptations: shrink, prove, withdraw5 practical tools for staying connected while you growWhen distance is wisdom (boundaries, not punishment)Staying grounded in who you're becoming00:00 - Welcome Back + Quick Banter00:45 - Share the Episode + 26 Life Theme (1 John 2:6)01:34 - Recap: Deconstruction, Stuck Seasons, Staying Tender02:20 - Recap: Rebuilding Trust (Brené Brown's BRAVING)02:50 - Recap: Living Without Certainty (The Sin of Certainty)03:22 - Today's Topic: When You Change but Others Don't04:08 - The Real Tension: Family, Friends, and Staying Connected05:08 - When People Speak in Absolutes + You Feel Misunderstood06:17 - Dinner Table Moment: Speak Up, Stay Quiet, or Shift Topics?07:30 - It's Not Theological—It's Relational Risk09:20 - When Your Shift Feels Threatening to Others10:16 - Unspoken Agreements: “We've Always Believed This”11:34 - 3 Temptations: Shrink, Prove, or Withdraw12:15 - Temptation 1: Shrinking to Keep the Room Calm13:16 - Temptation 2: Proving It (Over-explaining, Articles, Debates)14:01 - Temptation 3: Withdrawing Fully (Exhaustion + New Language)16:06 - 5 Practical Tools for Connection (Overview)17:23 - Tool 1: Decide What's Worth Discussing (Hill vs Habit)19:42 - Tool 2: Lead With Curiosity, Not Correction20:36 - Tool 3: Let Go of Being Understood Immediately21:45 - Tool 4: Stop Managing Their Reaction22:20 - Tool 5: Build New Safe Spaces (Relational Oxygen)23:27 - When Distance Is Wise (Boundaries, Not Punishment)24:42 - Stay Grounded in Who You're Becoming27:11 - Next Week: Reconstruction vs Deconstruction (Which Is Harder?)27:44 - Hockey Sidebar: Team USA Beats Canada + “Won It for Johnny”28:37 - Closing: You're Loved (Nothing You Can Do About It)

Send a textIn this timely and deeply practical episode of the Autonomic Homeostasis Activation Podcast, Tom and Ruth explore what it means to live in a world saturated with distressing information — from global conflict to cultural upheaval to deeply personal stories of abuse and loss.We are not just observers anymore. Through constant news cycles and social media exposure, we are often participants in vicarious trauma — absorbing pain that is not directly ours, yet deeply affects our nervous systems.In this conversation, we unpack:What vicarious trauma actually is — and how it differs from everyday stressWhy some stories trigger us more than othersThe difference between sympathetic responses (stress, anxiety, anger, depression) and parasympathetic processingHow collective events like COVID may have shifted our baseline stress levelsThe surprising neuroscience insight: pain is not the enemy — it's a homeostatic signalHow to move from reactive fight-or-flight to restorative regulationWe explore a powerful reframing:Pain functions much like thirst or hunger. It is not something to suppress, but something to respond to wisely. When processed through the parasympathetic nervous system, pain becomes productive — guiding us toward restoration rather than reactivity.This episode is especially for:Parents navigating hard conversations with their childrenLeaders and caregivers carrying collective weightAnyone feeling overwhelmed, anxious, angry, or numb in today's climateTherapists, coaches, and helpers managing emotional proximity to others' traumaIf you've felt “off,” on edge, or emotionally flooded after scrolling headlines — this conversation will help you understand why.And more importantly, it will help you return to center.Because the goal isn't shutting down pain.It's learning how to process it in a way that restores homeostasis — in body, mind, and spirit.Take a breath.Let's activate regulation together.Support the showThanks for listening!You can follow us onFacebook Instagram Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts Check out the Autonomic Healing Website & InnerWorkings WebsiteEmail Tom thomasjpals@innerworkings.orgEmail Ruth ruth@bridgeandrhino.comSupport usWe appreciate you!

Ayurvedic practitioner and author Heather Grzych explores what happens inside us when leaders, teachers, or institutions disappoint us. Rather than focusing on scandal or personalities, she examines the nervous system response — the tight chest, the bracing, the fatigue — that arises when authority feels unstable. Using the cultural moment and the paradigm shift illustrated in the 2023 Barbie film as a backdrop, she invites listeners to reclaim internal authority instead of outsourcing certainty to charismatic figures. This episode offers a grounded, embodied framework for discernment, emotional maturity, and self-trust in a time when external structures feel increasingly unreliable. Heather Grzych, ADLC is an American author and expert in Ayurvedic medicine who was formerly the president of the National Ayurvedic Medical Association and the head of product development for a multi-billion-dollar health insurance company. Heather's first book, The Ayurvedic Guide to Fertility, has sold thousands of copies worldwide, and her writing has been featured in Sports Illustrated, Yoga Journal, and the Sunday Independent.

I walk you through a simple yet powerful journaling practice that instantly brought me back to peace, along with insights on meditation, nervous system regulation, personal responsibility, and why what you focus on truly expands. This episode is about choosing awareness without absorbing darkness and consciously protecting your energy in a world that constantly competes for your attention.I also open up about my personal skin healing journey, from acne and guilt rooted in childhood conditioning to melasma connected to deep grief after the loss of my son. We discuss the mind body connection, how unprocessed emotions can manifest physically, and the steps I am taking now to support my skin through holistic nutrition, movement, and advanced aesthetic treatments. This conversation blends...

We often think change will make sense once we get to the other side, but what if the real work of change is learning how to stay present in the uncertainty itself? Today, Jay sits down with cognitive scientist and author Dr. Maya Shankar to explore why unexpected change feels so threatening, and why losing what we thought our life would look like can feel like losing ourselves. From a career-ending injury early in her life to deeply personal losses later on, Maya reflects on how life’s unexpected turns can quietly reshape how we see ourselves, our worth, and our place in the world. Maya explains that one of the biggest mistakes we make during change is tying our self-worth to roles, titles, or outcomes. When those fall away, it can feel deeply destabilizing. Instead, she invites us to root our identity in something more stable: our “why.” The deeper reasons behind what we love—connection, service, growth, creativity. When we stay connected to those, we can move through change without losing ourselves. Jay reflects on how often we seek external validation and why redefining success during loss is essential for resilience. In this interview, you'll learn: How to Handle Change You Didn’t Choose How to Anchor Your Self-Worth Beyond External Success How to Find Your “Why” When Life Falls Apart How to Rebuild Yourself After a Dream Ends How to Grow into the Person Change Is Shaping You To Be If you’re going through a season of change right now, remember this: you’re not broken for struggling with it. Change is meant to shake us, to slow us down, and to make us question who we are beyond our titles, plans, and expectations.

Pressure at work rarely stays contained within the job. It spills into family life, friendships, and daily relationships. I asked 50 operators how they stay happy while managing responsibility at work and at home. This 3 part series – titled “50 Operators share the systems that keep them happy” explores each of these layers through the lived experience of operators who feel the same pressure you probably feel right now. Today we continue with part 2: connection, the relationships that recharge you and keep you standing when the work would otherwise knock you sideways.We'll hear from 17 people and we'll cover:(00:00) - Teaser (02:00) - In This Episode (04:30) - Eric Holland: Limiting Slack and Prioritizing Family Time (05:33) - Meg Gowell: Shared Family Routines (08:31) - David Joosten: Filtering Reactive Work So Time Stays With Family (10:30) - Aboli Gangreddiwar: Designing Work to Enable Family Travel (12:01) - Kevin White: Separating Career Drive From Family Identity (13:42) - Joshua Kanter: Daily Family Rituals (18:07) - Gab Bujold: Daily Check-Ins With a Trusted Work Partner (22:30) - Anna Leary: Treating Workload Stress as a Shared Problem (24:31) - Angela Rueda: Shared Problem Solving Conversations (26:50) - Blair Bendel: Using In Person Conversations to Stay Grounded (29:28) - Matthew Castino: Work Satisfaction Correlates Strongly With Team Relationships (33:17) - Aditi Uppal: Connection as a Feedback Loop (35:48) - Alison Albeck Lindland: One Social System Across Work and Life (37:34) - Rajeev Nair: Human Bonds Absorb Pressure Before Burnout (40:12) - Chris O'Neil: Filtering Work Through People and Problems That Matter (42:24) - Rebecca Corliss: Creativity as a Shared Emotional Outlet (44:24) - Moni Oloyede: Teaching as a Living Relationship (45:50) - Outro Connection starts with who you protect time for. Our first guest begins there, shaping his work around people who refill him and drawing hard lines around anything that steals those moments away.Eric Holland: Limiting Slack and Prioritizing Family TimeFirst up is Eric Holland, a fractional PMM based in Pennsylvania, and the co-host of the We're not Marketers Podcast. He's also a dad and runs a retail apparel startup. Eric shapes his happiness around people before tasks. He pares his work down to projects shared with colleagues he enjoys being around, and that choice changes the texture of his days. Conversations feel easier. Meetings end with momentum instead of fatigue. You can hear a quiet confidence in how he describes work that feels relational rather than transactional.Family anchors that perspective in a very physical way. Nearly every weekend, from late November through Christmas, belongs to his ten-month-old son. These are not abstract intentions. They are mornings that smell like coffee and pine needles, afternoons on cold sidewalks, and evenings defined by routine rather than inboxes. Time with his son creates emotional weight that carries into the workweek and keeps priorities visible when deadlines start to blur.Eric also draws a firm boundary around digital proximity. Slack does not live on his phone, and that decision protects the moments where connection needs full attention. The habit most people recognize, checking messages during dinner or while holding a child, never has a chance to form. Presence becomes simpler when tools stay in their place.The system he describes comes together through a few concrete moves that many people quietly avoid:He limits work to collaborators who feel generous with energy.He reserves weekends for repeated family rituals that mark time.He removes communication tools from personal spaces where they dilute focus.Eric captures the point with a line that carries practical weight.“Delete Slack off your phone.”That sentence signals care for the relationships that actually hold you upright. Attention stays where your body is, and connection grows from that consistency.Key takeaway: Strong connections protect long-term happiness at work. Choose collaborators who give energy, protect repeated time with family and friends, and keep work tools out of moments that deserve your full presence.Meg Gowell: Shared Family RoutinesNext up is Meg Gowell, Head of Marketing at Elly and former Director of Growth Marketing at Typeform and Appcues. She's also a mom of 3.Remote work compresses everything into the same physical space. Meetings happen steps away from the kitchen. Notifications follow you into the evening. Meg treats that compression as something that requires active design. She and her husband both work remotely, so separation never happens by accident. It happens because they decide when work stops and family time starts, and they repeat that decision every day.That discipline shows up in how she leads at Typeform. An international team creates constant overlap and constant absence at the same time. Someone is always offline. Someone is always mid-day. Ideas surface at inconvenient hours. Meg sends messages when they are top of mind, and she pairs them with clear expectations about response time. People answer when they are working. Evenings stay intact. That clarity removes the quiet pressure that turns collaboration tools into stress machines.Connection at home runs on small rituals that happen often. Family dinner stays protected. Phones stay off the table. Conversation has shape, which keeps it from drifting back to work. One simple routine anchors the evening.Each person shares a positive moment from their day.Each person shares a hard moment.Everyone gets space to talk without interruption.“We have a game we play called Popsicle and Poopsicle where each person says a positive thing from their day and a negative thing from their day.”The table sounds different when everyone is present. You hear voices instead of keyboards. You notice moods. Kids learn that their experiences matter. Adults slow their breathing without realizing it. Work fades because attention has somewhere better to land.These habits teach through repetition. Kids learn priorities by watching how time is protected. Teams learn boundaries by watching how leaders behave. Meg models presence through behavior rather than explanation. She sits down. She listens. She disconnects. Those signals travel further than any policy ever could.Career decisions follow the same logic. Meg focused on the life she wanted to live and then shaped work around it. Dinner with her kids mattered. Time away mattered. Flexibility mattered. That perspective runs against an industry that rewards visibility and constant availability. Many people chase recognition and wonder why their days feel thin. Meg invested in connection and built everything else around it.Key takeaway: Connection grows when time is defended on purpose. Protect shared moments, set expectations clearly, and let daily behavior show people where your attention truly belongs.David Joosten: Filtering Reactive Work So Time Stays With FamilyNext up is David Joosten, Co-Founder and President at GrowthLoop and the co-author of ‘First-Party Data Activation'. He's also a dad of 3.Connection shows up here through restraint. David talks about time as something that gets crowded fast, especially once you step into leadership roles where every problem arrives wearing the same urgent expression. Days fill with requests, escalations, and thoughtful edge cases that sound responsible in isolation. Taken together, they quietly displace the people ...

Life does not always fall apart in neat, Instagram-worthy ways.Sometimes it blindsides you. Sometimes it knocks the air out of you. Sometimes it leaves your nervous system spinning and your mind searching for answers.In this episode I break down what coaching actually does for you when life kicks you in the junk — not by avoiding pain, but by helping you stay self-led inside of it.I share how I personally navigated a recent season I did not ask for, and the exact mindset and emotional tools that made it possible to stay grounded, connected, and clear when nothing felt easy.This episode is not about positive thinking or fixing yourself. It is about learning how to work with your thoughts and emotions instead of letting them run your life.In this episode, we talk about:Why painful experiences do not mean you are doing life wrongHow coaching helps you stay self-led during hard seasonsThe difference between facts and the stories your brain tellsWhy “neutral” does not mean harmless or okayHow to observe your thoughts and emotions without being consumed by themWhy mindset work does not mean avoiding hard feelingsHow to feel emotions safely instead of suppressing or fixing themThe difference between respecting a thought and agreeing with itWhy not every thought deserves your obedienceThe powerful question that brings you back to yourself when everything feels confusingKey takeaway:You do not need to eliminate hard thoughts or emotions to move forward. You need the ability to stay with yourself, supervise your mind, and choose how you respond — one situation, one thought, one feeling, one choice at a time.That is what coaching builds.Resources:Free Feelings Video + Worksheet: Click HERE to grab it.Jessica's book, In Pursuit Order my #1 New Release book In PursuitGet your complimentary copy of The Unblocked Journal to help bring awareness to perfectionist thinking and what it's creating in your life.Join My Do The Thing Community Want more support?If this episode resonated with you and you want deeper, personalized support, you can learn more about working with me at jessicasmarro.comStay connected:Follow me on Facebook & Instagram: @jessicasmarroShare this episode and tag me with what landed for youIf you enjoyed today's conversation, please follow, rate, and review Unblocked.

1. Watching for Trickery 2. Laying Aside the Old3. Putting on the NewToday's sermon explored Ephesians 4:14-32, challenging us to examine our Christian walk and whether we're truly living out our faith. Just as physical walking requires 200 muscles working together without conscious thought, our spiritual walk should become second nature as we mature in Christ. We were reminded that God's will for us is so much more than we could ever imagine, but it requires us to be grounded in Biblical truth, not tossed around by every wind of doctrine or cultural trend. The message called us to stop being spiritually immature—to put off our old self with its deceitful lusts and put on the new self, created in God's likeness in righteousness and holiness.Takeaways:- Watch for Trickery and Stay Grounded in Truth: We must examine Scripture for ourselves (like the Bereans in Acts 17) rather than simply accepting what culture or even persuasive arguments tell us. Our feelings and hearts can be deceitful (Jeremiah 17:9), so we need solid Biblical truth as our foundation. We're called to speak truth in love, even when it's difficult.- Lay Aside the Old Self: True repentance means stripping away our former manner of life—the things we know are wrong. This isn't just feeling sorry; it's actively turning away from sin and submitting to obedience. We cannot continue wearing our "grave clothes" when Christ has made us alive and set us free.- Put On the New Self: It's not enough to simply stop sinful behaviors; we must replace them with godly ones. Put off lying, put on truth-telling. Put off anger, put on peace. Put off stealing, put on honest labor. Put off unwholesome words, put on edifying speech. Put off bitterness, put on kindness and forgiveness. This is what it means to walk with Christ daily.Let's commit together to growing up in all aspects into Christ, being doers of the Word and not just hearers. Remember, when we each do our part, the whole body of Christ grows and is built up in love.

How do you live well, stay engaged, and protect your mental health when the future of the planet feels so uncertain? Listen to this episode of Stories from the Field where our host Will White is joined by Dr. Thomas Doherty—psychologist, ecopsychologist, and author of Surviving Climate Anxiety—for a grounded conversation about eco-anxiety as a normal, values-driven response to climate change rather than a disorder to eliminate. Thomas reframes climate anxiety as a signal of care and connection, and introduces practical ways to regulate the nervous system, make meaning, and stay psychologically resilient without denying reality. Designed for both individuals struggling with climate anxiety and mental health professionals who work with anxiety and grief, this episode explores how time outdoors can become genuinely healing, how to avoid becoming a "climate hostage," and how to move toward what Thomas calls ethical happiness—living with purpose, connection, and integrity in a rapidly changing world.

Send us a textIn this episode of Better Skills. Better Doctors., I talk about the rising sense of despair many people are feeling in response to the state of the world and why staying stuck in that despair doesn't serve you, your patients, or your purpose. I explore how our brains are wired to fixate on the negative, how media algorithms profit from that bias, and why giving equal airtime to what's good in your life is a radical act of mental hygiene. I share how I personally navigate feelings of overwhelm by asking, “Who do I want to be while feeling this way?” This episode is a call to reclaim your focus, protect your energy, and stay grounded in reality. Not because things are easy, but because your work still matters.If this content and material resonates with you and you would like to pursue coaching with Rebecca, please visit:tcm-hub.com/fed and schedule a Breakthrough Call.

We examine how nonstop information, digital volatility, and collective fear reshape the nervous system, distort perception, and weaken emotional grounding. This episode does not offer false reassurance or easy fixes. It names what it actually feels like to live in a world where safety feels conditional, and the future feels unstable.Through a clarity-forward, psychologically grounded lens, we reveal why so many people are dysregulated without realizing it, why resilience is harder than ever, and what it takes to stay anchored without disconnecting from reality.Here are the related episodes, each one builds on today's conversation:#291 | Motivation Monday: 3 Simple Conflict Resolution Tools You Need to Know - https://apple.co/4rnXvHP #473 | The Tools You Need to Stop Emotionally Numbing - https://apple.co/46impk3Learn more about:

http://www.sherylkline.com/blogA business mentor of mine used to always say, “New level, new devil.”And it's true.Whether you are a rising leader or a seasoned executive, there is always going to be a bigger room, a higher stakes conversation, or a moment that rocks your confidence ... even if you consider yourself to have unshakable confidence.And if you're thinking, “I'm not really that confident ... I'm working on it,” this is for you too.Because high stakes moments do not just test what you know. They test how you manage your internal state while you're communicating which in turn impacts (greatly) how you're perceived.Here are a couple strategies that will help you not choke when the conversation really matters.Strategy 1: Stop Fighting Your Emotions ... They Will Always WinThe fastest way to spiral in a high stakes moment is to try to minimize your emotions.If you try to shove them away, ignore them, or talk yourself out of them, they usually get louder and therefore more distracting. Instead, acknowledge and validate the emotion ... without letting it drive the steering wheel.Here's one simple shift that is incredibly powerful:Save “I am” statements for the positive.A lot of people approach high stakes conversations saying things like:“I am nervous.”“I am scared.”“I am worried.”“I am concerned.”Those “I am” statements are labels which, if said enough times, impact your belief system AND your actions. Let's practice something different, what world-class performers and Olympians use to uplevel performance when under pressure.Use “I notice” for the negative.“I notice I feel nervous going into the meeting with my CEO/manager.”“I notice I'm worried about presenting to the board.”“I notice my body is tense.”“I notice my mind is racing.”This creates distance. It turns you into the observer instead of the judge.You are now on the bank of the stream looking at the rushing water rather than jumping into the middle of it and then trying to figure out how to get across. You have NOT self labeled and have time decide what's in your control that is most important to focus on.Acknowledgement defuses an emotion while denial adds oxygen to the fire.Strategy 2: Take Control of the ControllablesOne of the biggest drivers of anxiety and worry is uncertainty ... and specifically, uncertainty about what you cannot control such as:How will this be received?What will they think?How will it land?Will I gain buy-in?What you do control is what you do ... and how you choose to think.So the second strategy is to take control of the controllables.And there are two layers to this.Layer 1: Control What You Can About the Other PersonIf you are having a conversation with one or two people, one of the smartest things you can do is be mindful of their communication and negotiation style.Ask yourself:Are they direct and curt?Are they analytical?Are they people driven and relationship driven?Do they want bullet points and bottom line first ... or do they want context?This matters because a lot of leaders lose influence in high stakes moments by communicating in a style that is mismatched to the person in front of them.Get more in-depth perspective at https://www.sherylkline.com/blog/how-to-stay-grounded-when-the-stakes-are-highI'm cheering you on always.

Send one way text to Rev Rachel If you're an empath, a people-pleaser, or someone healing from codependency, you know how quickly another person's mood can affect your own.In this episode, I share a very real moment from my own life that happened on my birthday, when my husband had a tense reaction over a small laundry mishap. It wasn't a big moment, but it was a familiar one. His frustration immediately shifted the energy in the room, and I could feel my old patterns wanting to take over, the urge to fix it, smooth it over, or make it better and to make it my fault.What made this moment different is that I stayed present with myself.This episode is about learning how to stay grounded when someone you love is frustrated or upset, without absorbing their energy, abandoning yourself, or shutting down emotionally. It's about allowing others to have their feelings while learning that you don't have to carry them.Through the lens of the Recover Your Soul Process, we explore how acceptance, awareness, and loving boundaries help us respond differently. Not perfectly, but consciously. Not by disconnecting, but by staying rooted in compassion and self-trust using loving detachment.Healing doesn't mean the people in our lives will never be frustrated again. It means we no longer lose ourselves when they are.You are allowed to be okay even wRecover Your SOUL CIRCLE Group coaching with Rev Rachel is now open for enrollment.Join a sacred space to deepen your healing, connect in community, and walk the Recover Your Soul Process together:  1.

What happens in you when someone comes at you with intensity?Do you freeze, go blank, lose your words, or start doubting yourself?We explore what it means to stay grounded when another person's energy feels too hot to handle by talking with Kate, who finds herself going into freeze mode when someone else's intensity rises and tone sharpens. Together, we explore how to meet our shutdown responses with awareness instead of judgment, seeing them as wisdom, not weakness.Afterwards, Josie brings up a nuanced distinction: What's the difference between asking for what we need and demanding someone change? Where's the line between honest self-expression and control?We'll tease apart how to speak truthfully without blame, how to hold boundaries without closing your heart, and how to stay in integrity even when things get intense.If you've ever longed to stay calm, clear, and connected when someone else is coming in hot, this one's for you.Want to read more?  How to Stay Grounded When Someone's Coming in HotFor ongoing practice and deeper learning, I warmly invite you to become a member of The School of Human Connection.

Welcome back, sister. In Part 2 of our Deeply Rooted conversation, Nadine Dyer and Carla Sands move from the “why” to the “how”—sharing practical, grace-filled ways to become more firmly grounded in Christ when life feels shaky, loud, or overwhelming.In this episode, we talk about what it actually looks like to grow deeper roots—not through perfection, but through surrender. Carla shares a powerful starting point: letting God “crumble” the false foundations we've built on self-sufficiency, approval, performance, or control… so He can replant us in His rich, steady truth.You'll hear practical encouragement around:What it means to surrender and let God rebuild your foundationSimple daily rhythms that create space to hear God's voice (even if it's just 15 minutes)Why being in Scripture matters if you want to recognize God's voice with clarityHow to root your identity in what God says about you—not what life, trauma, or culture has labeled youThe role of Christ-filled community in staying grounded and avoiding self-deceptionThe difference between “How can I please You?” vs. “How can I glorify You?” (and why that shift changes everything)As we close, Nadine and Carla share the fruit that comes from a deeply rooted life: overflowing joy, contentment, gratitude, and the ability to respond to conflict with grace instead of defensiveness—living out the fruit of the Spirit in a way that becomes increasingly steady over time.If you've been longing to feel less tossed around by emotions, circumstances, or expectations—and more anchored in peace, identity, and God's love—this episode is for you.We're here with you, and you are not alone.

In today's episode I'm breaking down why your nervous system reacts so intensely to your partner's mood, distance, or emotional shifts... and more importantly, how to stay grounded instead of spiraling. This one is especially for my high‑achieving, high‑functioning girlies who are crushing it at work… but feel like they're one unread message away from losing their peace in love. We're talking about: ✨ Why “the vibes feel off” can completely derail your nervous system ✨ The difference between reacting from fear vs responding from regulation ✨ Why reassurance only works temporarily (and what actually creates safety) ✨ How anxious attachment keeps you stuck trying to outthink or outwork your emotions ✨ The nervous system mistake high achievers make in relationships ✨ How to stay grounded (even when there is distance, silence, or uncertainty) I also share personal updates around my upcoming hysterectomy and how physical discomfort, overstimulation, and stress lower our emotional threshold - making relationship anxiety feel louder and harder to manage. (Spoiler: this isn't about “doing more,” it's about reducing the load.) Plus, I'm celebrating a HUGE win from a client who is navigating dating without losing herself! Proof that healing anxious attachment isn't about perfection, it's about recommitment. Sending you so much love, Clare

In episode six of "Your Mental Weight Room," mindset mentor Desi explores the psychological impact of sports rankings on athletes and coaches. She explains that rankings are arbitrary numbers with no real power—what matters is how individuals interpret and respond to them. Desi encourages athletes to focus on their mindset, not external validation, and to choose empowering thoughts that foster confidence and clarity. Using real-life examples, she emphasizes that success comes from mental resilience and self-belief, not rankings, urging listeners to define their worth by effort and attitude rather than numbers.

In this Parent Lean In episode, Margaret Webb joins me to answer a listener's question about those tough moments when our kids are totally dysregulated—especially after long, overstimulating school days. We get into why these behaviors happen, how important it is for kids to release pent-up energy, and what it really means to co-regulate. We also talk about how to stay grounded ourselves when things get loud or chaotic, and remind parents that these rough patches are hard, but they are temporary—and we don't have to face them alone. Key Takeaways Why understanding common concerns about social skills in autistic children can help parents feel less isolated and more empowered How parental anxieties can shape decisions around social opportunities and why self-awareness is key Why clarifying your own worries before addressing your child's needs leads to more intentional and effective support How using scaffolding strategies can make playdates more successful and comfortable for neurodivergent kids Why keeping playdates short and thoughtfully matched can reduce stress for both kids and caregivers How lowering expectations and partnering with teachers and other parents can create more positive social experiences Learn more about your ad choices.

It's easy to be inspired by success, but the real lessons often lie in what it took to get there. After all, true strength isn't just physical; it's found in how we face change, challenge and the unknown. In this episode of my Feel Better, Live More podcast, I sit down with one of the most extraordinary athletes of our time, Sifan Hassan. Sifan is a Dutch middle- and long-distance runner, celebrated for her versatility and achievements in athletics. Born in Ethiopia and raised in the Netherlands as a refugee, she is known for competing at the highest level in a wide range of distances, including the 1500m, 5000m, 10,000m, and the marathon. She is a two-time World Champion, an Olympic medallist, and holds multiple European Championship titles. Her journey from refugee to Olympic and World Champion has captivated the world, not just for what she's achieved, but for how she approaches life. Sifan's story is one of courage, faith, and relentless curiosity. In this wonderful conversation, we explore: How growing up in Ethiopia and later seeking asylum in the Netherlands shaped Sifan's inner strength, perspective and deep appreciation for opportunity The role running played in navigating life in a new country, and how it offered focus, purpose and belonging Why failure, fear and self-doubt have been central to her journey, and how she's learned to embrace them as essential parts of growth and performance How Sifan continues to find joy in running, despite the pressures of elite sport, and why staying curious matters more to her than winning What her training now looks like behind the scenes - including the shifts she's made to prioritise recovery, longevity and mental balance Why she sees rest, sleep and routine as forms of discipline, and how simplicity keeps her grounded What she's come to understand about identity, letting go of perfection, and finding peace with who she is, beyond the medals You don't need to be an athlete to connect with Sifan's story; it speaks to something deeply human in all of us. In a world that often celebrates outcomes, this conversation invites us to embrace the process of becoming, adapting, and learning. Sifan's perspective is a beautiful example of what it means to stay rooted in who we are, even when life takes us far from where we began. I hope you enjoy listening.
