Podcasts about stepping off

If you've ever been with a partner and asked, “Is this relationship going anywhere?” or been swept up in a romance without stopping to question if it's really what you want, then you may already be familiar with the “relationship escalator.”It's a phrase coined by journalist, Amy Gahran, to describe the default set of steps society expects all intimate relationships to follow. She challenged the cookie cutter approach to modern love with her groundbreaking book, Stepping Off the Relationship Escalator.This week, she chats to Jill about unconventional intimate relationships including consensual nonmonogamy, polyamory and asexuality, as well as her own experiences of solo polyamory, and what she's learned from being in relationships that don't follow the standard social script. Amy is based in Boulder, Colorado, and also writes under the pen name Aggie Sez on her blog, Solo Poly. To stay in touch with Well Enough Alone, you can follow us on Instagram @wellenoughalonepod or @jillstark__ or support the show and get subscriber-only, early and ad-free episodes on Patreon. Well Enough Alone is a Spare Room production.

It had grown into her primary coping mechanism that led her down a path of disconnection from self and the world around her. She hid her addiction for years, suffering in silence, while presenting an image of happiness, sheltered by her achievements and the facade of a normal life. Her recovery journey was on and off for almost 6 years until she found freedom through sobriety a few months before her 31st birthday. The pain of active addiction had finally come to head for her and outweighed the fear of change and a life without alcohol and drugs. Now, Rachel is a dedicated sober and wellness coach who specializes in helping high-achieving individuals struggling with their relationship with alcohol. She integrates health and fitness into her coaching, viewing them as key pillars in both her own recovery and the journeys of those she helps. Rachel takes a progressive approach to alcohol, seeing substance abuse as a spectrum. She believes that you don't need to hit a dramatic “rock bottom” to make the choice to remove alcohol from your life. Whether you're exploring the benefits of an alcohol-free lifestyle or facing deeper struggles, Rachel supports her clients in breaking free from the toxic cycle of drinking. Through self-awareness, inner-child work, and rewiring the subconscious mind, she empowers them to create lasting change.In this episode, we discuss:Rachel's story Why we don't need a "rock-bottom" to get soberAlternative recovery roadmaps outside of AA / NASubconscious programming around alcoholInner child workThe connection between trauma & addictionReplacing substances with new coping mechanismsHelping others on their sober journeySee links below to connect with Rachel and find out more about her work.Website: coachwithrach.comInstagram: @soberfitrach__Disclaimer: The content of this podcast is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Quote: Stress is caused by being ‘here' but wanting to be ‘there'. –Eckhart Tolle Chapters 0:04 Introduction to Anxiety 3:44 Stepping Off the Merry-Go-Round 8:12 Acceptance and Understanding 10:47 Trusting Yourself 13:28 Dealing with Panic Attacks 15:07 Empowering Yourself Against Fear 15:23 Closing Thoughts and Quotes Summary In this episode of the Anxiety Coaches Podcast, I delve into the pervasive issue of anticipatory anxiety, specifically addressing the phenomenon often referred to as "the fear of the fear." This fear can become a significant hurdle in the journey towards managing anxiety, and through the lens of a listener's email, I aim to shed light on coping strategies that can foster a sense of peace and calm. I begin by recognizing the weight of long-term anxiety struggles, particularly drawing from my personal experience and the stories of countless listeners who have faced similar battles. This notion of reverting to anxiety after a period of relief is common, and it's essential to understand that this cycle can perpetuate itself through self-talk. A line from the email I received resonated deeply: “Oh no, here we go again.” This phrase reflects an all-too-familiar sentiment that can trigger a spiraling response, igniting a cascade of stress rather than allowing room for acceptance and healing. A significant part of our discussion revolves around the concept of acceptance. I emphasize the importance of acknowledging one's current state without judgment. Over my own journey of wrestling with anxiety, I found that accepting the physical sensations and thoughts I experienced—rather than fighting against them—was a crucial step in lessening their power. I explore how by disassociating our identity from these feelings and realizing that they are transient sensations, we can begin to navigate our anxiety more effectively. The principle of non-judgment plays a critical role in this process. I introduce the metaphor of stepping off the anxiety merry-go-round, which vividly illustrates the chaos that accompanies unrecognized and unaddressed fears. It's vital for listeners to realize that they can observe their thoughts and sensations without labeling them as either good or bad. This detachment can mitigate the influence of stressors while reinforcing the understanding that such experiences are merely parts of the larger journey rather than defining elements of who we are.

Dating → becoming exclusive → moving in together → getting married → having kids. This is the assumed trajectory that all relationships will take. If you've already started exploring non-monogamy, you have some experience with breaking the mold. But even in non-monogamous relationships, it's common to find yourself slipping back into the relationship escalator framework. This path is so ingrained, it's easy to feel pressure, both internal and external, to fit your life into its rigid set of steps. We've been there, and we continue to work every day to question our own assumptions and tendencies. In this episode, we're helping you reimagine relationships and relationship security beyond the confines of the relationship escalator.

Dr Marcy Brink is an intimacy and relationship coach who is here to challenge the traditional "relationship escalator" and explore alternative paths to connection and fulfilment. Many of us have already lived the life outlined by societal norms - the expected progression of dating, exclusivity, marriage, and children. Relationship counsellors call this the ‘relationship escalator.' But as we grow older, we may begin to wonder, "What else is possible?" Dr. Brink's clients have expressed a desire for more flexibility and autonomy in their relationships. They want to enjoy sexual and romantic connections without the pressure of traditional commitments like marriage or cohabitation.Younger generations are already paving the way, freely exploring alternative sexualities and designing new models of intimacy. Embracing meaningful connections with play partners, dating across age differences, and trying consensual non-monogamy are just a few examples of the innovative ways people are redefining intimacy.During our conversation, we discussed how social norms have shaped our dating and sex lives and how we can begin to think deeply about our authentic needs and desires. The goal is to empower us to communicate these needs openly with potential partners so we can all experience more pleasure and fulfilment in our later lives.Join us as we rethink the relationship escalator and discover the vast possibilities for creating the intimate connections we genuinely crave.https://www.instagram.com/marcy.brink/https://www.facebook.com/sexandintimacy/http://linkedin.com/in/marcy-brink-phd-sexandintimacy Get full access to Sex Advice for Seniors at www.sexadviceforseniors.com/subscribe

Send us a Text Message.In today's episode, Sarah and our special guest Rachael McLaughlin discuss the journey of reclaiming oneself throughout different seasons of life. They chat about what that might look like in eating disorder recovery and in motherhood, particularly in the context of postpartum depression. Sarah and Rachael explore the challenges of navigating multiple roles and identities, the loss and grief associated with motherhood, and the fear of empty spaces when letting go of certain identities. They also discuss the complexity of shifting identities and the comfort in being uncomfortable. Additionally, they touch on the challenges of balancing business and motherhood and the importance of prioritizing and focusing energy. They dive into the idea of the spiral staircase of healing and self-discovery, where each phase of recovery leads to a deeper understanding of oneself. They emphasize the importance of making space for one's own aliveness and stepping off the staircase to enjoy the present. They also discuss the impact of comparisons and expectations in society and the need to tune out external noise and turn up internal volume.TakeawaysMotherhood can bring about a need to reclaim oneself and navigate multiple roles and identities.Postpartum depression can complicate the journey of reclaiming oneself in motherhood.There is a sense of loss and grief associated with motherhood and the need to let go of certain identities.Shifting identities can be complex and may require prioritizing and focusing energy.The mental load of motherhood, including managing household tasks and childcare responsibilities, can be overwhelming.Creating space for self-care is essential for maintaining mental and emotional well-being.The healing and self-discovery process is like a spiral staircase, with each phase leading to a deeper understanding of oneself.Making space for one's own aliveness and stepping off the staircase can bring a sense of peace and enjoyment.Comparisons and societal expectations can contribute to feelings of inadequacy and the need to constantly strive for more.Tuning out external noise and turning up internal volume is crucial for finding balance and prioritizing personal growth.Be sure to check out Rachael's practice, Beyond Therapy and Nutrition Center and follow them on Instagram!Thanks for listening to Reclaim You with Reclaim Therapy!To learn more about Reclaim Therapy and how to work with a therapist on the team, head to https://www.reclaimtherapy.org.Be sure to comment, like and subscribe here, or on YouTube and come follow along on Instagram!

Air Date - 29 February 2024Renowned spiritual teacher Jim Self, noted for his ability to simplify complex concepts with humor, joins us for a chat about altering our thought frequencies for personal transformation as a tool to navigate humanity's rapidly shifting evolution. Let's delve into the transformative shifts in consciousness and energy dynamics swirling around today. Jim discusses the necessity of letting go of old baggage as humanity transitions from the third-dimensional, masculine-dominated game to the fifth-dimensional, where well-being, co-creation, cooperation, and gratitude rule. With the potential for a split in the collective consciousness, we are each faced with a conscious choice: step into a higher vibrational state or remain to play the same game. Define yourself, and you begin to define your reality in this fifth-dimensional space. Revitalizing your energetic and inner guidance systems is critical to living the life you came here to live.Connect with Jim at https://masteringalchemy.com/#JimSelf #SandieSedgbeer #WhatIsGoingOMVisit the What Is Going OM show page https://omtimes.com/iom/shows/what-is-going-omConnect with Sandie Sedgbeer at https://www.sedgbeer.comSubscribe to our Newsletter https://omtimes.com/subscribe-omtimes-magazine/Connect with OMTimes on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/Omtimes.Magazine/ and OMTimes Radio https://www.facebook.com/ConsciousRadiowebtv.OMTimes/Twitter: https://twitter.com/OmTimes/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/omtimes/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/OMTimesTVLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/2798417/Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/omtimes/

Stepping into retirement can feel like you are stepping off the ledge. How do you know if you are ready? I'm James Derrick. Today, my guest and colleague, Sharla Jessop, will share how to be ready for the three stages of retirement.

In the podcast episode we hear from Sarah Pike , a potter who has transformed her early fascination with clay into a successful career, balancing the demands of family life on a ranch with her passion for pottery. She recounts her transition from wheel throwing to slab-built pottery and the creative freedom it brought. Sarah emphasizes the importance of perseverance, mentorship, and community in shaping one's artistic identity and encourages creators to keep asking "what if" to fuel innovation. She also discusses the role of social media in building a supportive network and selling pottery. Listeners are invited to connect with Sarah's craft through her Instagram @sarahpikepottery  Top 3 Value Bombs: 1. The Transformative Power of Perseverance: Sarah's story is a testament to the transformative power of perseverance in the face of challenges. Whether it's balancing family responsibilities with a demanding career or rediscovering one's artistic identity, her journey underscores the importance of persistence. Sarah's experience highlights that with dedication to the craft and a commitment to studio time, obstacles can be overcome, leading to personal growth and success in the world of pottery. 2. Embracing Creative Freedom Through Technique: Sarah's transition from wheel throwing to slab building, illustrates the significance of embracing new techniques to unlock creative freedom. By stepping away from the traditional pottery wheel, Sarah found new ways to express her unique vision through the textures and shapes of her work. This serves as a valuable lesson for creators to remain open to exploring new methods and to entertain the "what ifs" that can lead to innovation and a more personalized artistic expression. 3. The Importance of Community and Authenticity: The episode delves into the importance of finding one's voice amidst a crowded field of creators, stressing the delicate balance between imitation and innovation. Sarah's story demonstrates the value of mentorship, community engagement, and the courage to carve out an authentic niche. It emphasizes that each small victory in the studio is a crucial step towards defining a unique creative identity, and that artists should leverage community support to combat self-doubt and grow in their craft.

Episode 071Stepping Off the Relationship Escalator: A Conversation with Intimacy Coach, Daniela StevensDo you ever feel like your relationships are stuck on autopilot, dictated by societal norms rather than your own needs and desires? What if you could reimagine your relationships in a way that's not only non-traditional but also deeply fulfilling? This is exactly what I explore in my enlightening conversation with sex and intimacy coach, Daniella Stevens. With over two decades of experience, Daniella shares her insights on how blending science, spiritual wisdom, and creativity can shape non-traditional relationships and promote self-discovery.Unpacking societal structures, we dive into the concept of the 'relationship escalator', a theory introduced by Amy Gahran. This idea breaks free from the linear progression of relationships, encouraging us to pause and maybe even step off the escalator at any point. We also talk about the importance of nurturing love, pleasure, and care within ourselves as a way to extend the same to others. Our conversation further ventures into the intriguing terrain of 'relationship anarchy', emphasizing consent, communication, and freedom from expectations. We discuss the challenges of building depth in non-traditional relationships and how to create more room for love and pleasure in our lives. So, are you ready to step off the relationship escalator and embrace a new, fulfilling approach to your most intimate relationships? Tune in and let's start the journey of reimagining together.Join the movement to be a part of this new paradigm of conscious, intentional and diverse relationships.Connect with Daniela✴️ ✴️ ✴️ ✴️ ✴️ ✴️Get Your Free Relationship Diversity Guidewww.relationshipdiversitypodcast.comInstagramTikTokWebsite Get my book, “Why Do They Always Break Up with Me?

Discover this untold journey of a dropout-turned-digital success story as we jump into the remarkable story of Ben Heath, a dropout who defied all odds to achieve digital success. From running ads to networking and content creation, Ben shares his experiences and insights on how he discovered his path to success.Here's some of the great stuff that we cover in this show:Ben built his digital advertising agency around his personal brand, something that he says was not intentional but rather a result of early successes. This has been both a strength and a limitation for his business.Much of Ben's client acquisition success is tied to the content he produces on platforms like Instagram. Potential clients often become actual clients after watching his educational videos, reinforcing the impact of his personal brand.Despite its advantages, Ben admits that relying so heavily on his personal brand makes the business less scalable and more difficult to sell. He also notes that it could pigeonhole him into being seen as just "the Facebook Ads guy," limiting his ability to expand into broader categories.When asked what he would do if he only had a year to live, Ben says he would spend the year traveling with his wife and son. Matt also shares his own family travel experiences, emphasizing the importance of creating memories.Both Matt and Ben reflect on how having children has changed their lives, including their travel plans. Matt discusses his tradition of "Dads and Lads" trips with his children, and Ben is inspired to consider similar adventures for his own family as his son grows up.-----------------------ABOUT BENBen Heath, the maestro of digital advertising, captivating content creator, and the fearless Founder/CEO of Heath Media!

I just got back from one of my favorite trips I've ever been on. From spending 10 days in Kenya with my wife and kids, then seeing a war-torn country, and ending in a life-changing experience in Israel seeing the religious sites and experiencing the history. But I've always struggled with 'vacations', so I brought books and journals and found an answer that gave me (and can hopefully give you) the ability to step out of the battle field, find higher ground, see the chessboard so you can create your gameplan, choose the key battles you need to win and jump back into your business.

When it comes to dating, relationships, and sex, there's a strong cultural norm -- the plotline of what we're "supposed" to want. It goes like this: You start dating, become sexually exclusive, get engaged, get married, buy a house (with a white picket fence!), have kids, and stay together until you die. No sex, dating, or romance with anyone else, ever.This is known as the "relationship escalator," and it can sometimes feel like the only choice out there.But what if you got off the escalator? What about the many relationships that fit outside that norm? What if, for example, you want to have kids but your partner doesn't -- and instead of breaking up, you and a close friend become co-parents?Amy Gahran has interviewed hundreds of people who've gotten off the relationship escalator and are engaging in creative relationships of all kinds. If you've ever wondered what else was possible, you'll want to listen to this.Memorable quotes from this episode:"More is possible.""You have options. And even if you want to keep doing what you're doing, make it a conscious choice.""Cultivate the skill to re-negotiate because I can guarantee that at some point you're going to need to."---Amy's site: https://offescalator.com/

Today, we're continuing our hypothetical conversation of “If I Was Starting Out Now” but this time we are having the convo with Kimberly Wylie, from Dallas, Texas. Kimberly is a phenomenal portrait photographer that had to close her studio in 2020 due to health problems that are still impacting her life. In this episode, we talk about what she would do if she had to start over again in the portrait industry as it is now, and, maybe more importantly, some of the things she wouldn't do. Our current economic climate feels precarious and is causing many to question and fear the future. What are actions we can take to stay on top of our businesses, remain relevant to our clients, and make the decisions that move our brands forward? In this episode, we'll discuss how to: Narrow down your marketing efforts. Be a strong decision maker. Lean into what you love.   Here's a glance at this episode: [02:57] - Kimberly shares her recent change in business due to health problems. [04:37] - The impact of her injury and ongoing surgeries was that she couldn't do her job anymore. [06:26] - After having to close her studio, the Covid-19 pandemic shut the world down. [08:20] - Kimberly has a unique perspective because she has been out of the business for a couple of years. [09:40] - The Covid-19 pandemic impacted the middle market the most. [10:40] - Kimberly explains that having a very defined brand from Day 1 is something she would do if starting out now. [13:40] - Kimberly explains how she had to narrow down her products to leap into the luxury brand level. [15:28] - Her first marketing piece was fine, but it didn't fit her brand or personality. [17:10] - Allison visited Kimberly's studio years ago and helped her refine and curate her studio to match her brand. [18:44] - Be a decision maker. When it is clear what needs to be done, do it. [19:36] - The most important part of branding is consistency. [22:52] - Kimberly shares some of the marketing she did in the infancy of her business that she wouldn't do again. [25:36] - When Allison shifted from her scrapbooking store to portrait photography, she had to be intentional about what she was providing. [27:54] - Was this change an overnight shift or more organic? Kimberly says it was a little bit of both. [28:25] - Unfortunately, making change means you will lose clients but Kimberly says that is actually part of the goal. [30:07] - If you build a brand with beautiful imagery, you will find the right clients. [31:32] - Lean into what you love and your unique vision. [33:37] - How are you evolving your brand? [35:03] - Getting bored is okay. Find ways to make it exciting. [36:38] - Ask yourself what you really love about what you do. [37:19] - Kimberly sums up the things she would do now if she were just starting out. [39:04] - What happened when Kimberly started to believe that she was an expert? [41:41] - There's a point in your business where you'll realize that you can't do it all on your own. [42:56] - Even though we are heading into a scary time, people will still want to have these memories.   Links and Resources:Download a TranscriptEpisode #031 - Stepping Off the Ledge with Kimberly Wylie Kimberly WylieWebsite | Instagram Do The ReWorkWebsite | Instagram Allison Tyler JonesWebsite | Instagram | LinkedIn

“‘I shall take the heart,' returned the Tin Woodsman; ‘for brains do not make one happy, and happiness is the best thing in the world.'”
 —L. Frank BaumThe topic of this episode is happiness and hedonic adaptation, otherwise known as the hedonic treadmill. Hedonic adaptation is a phenomenon of our psychology and physiology that keeps us at a stable level of happiness over time. This adaptation is like an immune system that desensitizes us in relation to negative and positive experiences, making us continually find our happiness baseline. The Hedonic Treadmill The concept of hedonic adaptation dates back to a 1971 paper by Philip Brickman and Donald T. Campbell called "Hedonic Relativism and Planning the Good Society", and it was made even more famous in a 1978 study called "Lottery Winners and Accident Victims: Is Happiness Relative?" The study compared lottery winners and paraplegics with a control group to show that both groups eventually adjusted and returned to a baseline of happiness. The hedonic treadmill, or happiness treadmill, is named as such because no matter how much you chase happiness and increase it in the short term, you end up in the same place continually chasing. The hedonic pathways in our brains become desensitized to pleasurable things that we encounter regularly. So after big life events like winning the lottery, getting a job promotion, getting married, etc, we will tend to settle back to our happiness set point. The Meaning of Happiness Aside from the science of hedonic adaptation, we also talked about the philosophy of happiness and whether it is a good goal in life. How is happiness different from words like joy, pleasure, tranquility, peacefulness, excitement, satisfaction, content, cheerful, or well-being? Is happiness something we get from the external world or does it come from within? Do we seek happiness or are we really running away from suffering? And what is the difference between a meaningful life and a happy life? Solutions to the Hedonic Treadmill “Now and then it's good to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy.” —Guillaume Apollinaire Lastly, we talked about ways to overcome hedonic adaptation so that we do not continually get caught in the same traps throughout life. Routines such as a dopamine detox and spiritual practices like gratitude and https://exploringkodawari.blog/beginners-mind/ (Beginner's Mind) are all ways to avoid getting stuck on the hedonic treadmill.
