Moving back in with family can awaken old wounds faster than years of personal growth can prepare us for. In this first coaching episode of 2026, Christine supports Sarah, who recently returned to the United States after six years abroad and is temporarily living with her parents. What she expected to be a short transition has turned into a deep emotional reckoning with childhood patterns, triggers, and the urge to "fix" family dynamics. Christine helps Sarah understand how protector parts, formed in childhood, take over when old environments reactivate unresolved trauma. Together, they explore how to release long-held anger safely, set boundaries that are actually enforceable, and begin reparenting the inner child with compassion rather than control. If family interactions leave you feeling dysregulated, angry, or guilty, this episode will help you see those reactions through a new lens and give you tools to stop trying to change your parents and start changing how you care for yourself. Consider / Ask Yourself: Do you feel like all your growth disappears the moment you go home? Are you the family fixer, peacekeeper, or emotional mediator? Do you struggle with guilt or rage after spending time with your parents? Are you trying to set "boundaries" that you cannot actually control? Key Insights and A-HAs: The urge to fix family dynamics often comes from a childhood protector part trying to create safety. What feels like "I can't help it" is usually a trauma-based habit, not a true lack of choice. Asking someone to change is a request, not a boundary. Boundaries are about what you will do. Rage is often stored grief from unmet childhood needs and must be safely released. Your inner child learns to trust you only through consistency, not intention. How to Deepen the Work: When you feel the impulse to fix, pause and thank that part for trying to protect you. Create a release valve for anger such as screaming into a pillow, shaking your body, or release writing. Practice leaving triggering situations instead of confronting them in the moment. Reparent your inner child through consistent safety rather than promises of change. Ask yourself: "What can I do right now that I actually control?"

Mind Love • Modern Mindfulness to Think, Feel, and Live Well
What if every time you said "I'll try," you were actually announcing you just weren't going to do it?Carla Ondrasik breaks down why "trying" sabotages your goals and why your brain literally can't process the word. This conversation goes beyond surface-level motivation into the neuroscience of language and accountability.What you'll discover:- Why children under two never say "try" until shame enters- What happens in your brain when you attempt the try test- How "I'll try" creates a grab bag of excuses with zero accountabilityCarla Ondrasik spent 25 years in music publishing before writing "Stop Trying," challenging one of the most ingrained patterns in modern culture.This week's challenge: Become hyper-aware of every time you say "try"—count how many times before 10 a.m.Resources:- Carla's book "Stop Trying": https://www.amazon.com/Stop-Trying-Discover-Lifelong-Greatness/dp/1637744129- Carla's website: https://stop-trying.com- Follow Carla on Instagram: @carlaondrasikReady to go deeper?

Your team thinks they’re selling braces. They’re wrong. What patients actually buy is certainty. Certainty about cost, timing, next steps, and whether they’re making the right call for their kid or themselves. When you don’t create that certainty fast, you get the same complaints every practice has: they ghosted us, bad lead, they said they needed to think about it, they price-shopped, they no-showed. Here’s what hurts: your leads aren’t bad. Your process leaks certainty. Fix that, and your team won’t need to push harder. They’ll just need to get clear, confident, and better at leading conversations. The kind of leadership that feels like service instead of sales. Get your copy of the Practice Paradox and the Personality Assessment: https://ion.agency/practice-paradox-book The Core Truth — People Don’t Buy Orthodontics. They Buy Certainty. Whether someone is choosing braces, clear aligners, or even deodorant, the psychology stays the same: people move when they feel safe taking the next step. That’s why calls fall apart even when your team says all the right things. If the prospect feels confused, guarded, uneasy, or overwhelmed, you can keep talking. You’ve already lost. Not because they hate you. Because their brain is protecting them from a decision that feels risky. So the question becomes: How do you manufacture certainty, fast, without sounding salesy? Let’s break it into five levers: mindset, voice, speed, follow-up, and simplification. Redefine “Sales” So Your Team Stops Sabotaging It A lot of practices hate the word “sales.” They picture a used-car lot: fake smile, pressure, manipulation, take the money and run. That’s exactly why they struggle. Here’s the reframe: sales isn’t taking. Sales is giving. If your team believes sales is something you do to people, they’ll avoid it, rush it, or apologize for it. If they believe sales is something you do for people (clarifying, guiding, simplifying), they show up differently. Two guardrails matter: integrity and a true desire to help paired with belief that the service will positively impact the patient’s life. Violate those, and you’re back in the version of sales everyone hates. Hold those two guardrails, and closing isn’t predatory. It’s service. Why this matters to certainty: Certainty doesn’t come from convincing. It comes from leadership. People relax when they feel guided by someone who knows what they’re doing and genuinely has their interests in mind. If your team doesn’t buy that idea, every tactic in this article turns into a script. Scripts don’t create certainty. Free Growth Session Certainty Starts With How You Sound — Tone and Tempo Beat Perfect Wording The fastest way to kill a call isn’t the wrong sentence. It’s the wrong cadence. Two things matter most: tonality and tempo. Tone and tempo communicate what words can’t: calm confidence, leadership, empathy, impatience, uncertainty, awkwardness. The Real Phone Skill Is Emotional Control When your scheduler or treatment coordinator sounds rushed, unsure, or overly chirpy, the prospect doesn’t feel guided. They feel processed. And if the prospect doesn’t feel guided, they don’t feel safe. Use Anchoring Questions to Uncover What Creates Certainty for This Person Three questions shift the call from “schedule this” to “understand why this matters.” “How long have you been thinking about straightening your teeth or bringing Johnny in?” This tells you whether they’re a “yesterday” person or a “two years” person. Very different energy, very different barriers. “Why did you feel like now was a good time to address this?” This reveals the trigger: pain, bullying, a dentist referral, a life event, a deadline, a job, a wedding. The trigger is often where certainty lives. “Why did you decide to come see us?” This exposes perceived differentiation or lack of it. It also surfaces competitive context without you sounding defensive. These questions aren’t cute. They build certainty because they make the prospect feel understood. And they give your team leverage to connect the consult to what the person actually cares about. If You Sense Uncertainty, Address It Immediately If someone sounds uneasy, uncertain, confused, or guarded, you can’t just continue your flow and hope it resolves itself. You need to pivot and handle that emotion right now. Or you won’t have their attention for the rest of the call, and you’ll often earn a no-show. Use something playful as a pattern interrupt (something they don’t expect) to regain attention. The point isn’t the exact line. The point is: certainty requires attention, and attention disappears when emotion turns skeptical. The Underrated Skill — Being Comfortable With Silence Most teams panic during silence and start filling space with nervous checking: “Hello?” “Did you get that?” “Can you hear me?” Don’t do that. Embrace the silence. The person just answered an unexpected call. You don’t know what they’re doing. If you can sit through a few seconds, you keep authority and flow. Why this matters to certainty: When you talk like a leader (steady, calm, unhurried), you lend your certainty to the other person. When you sound nervous, you amplify theirs. Speed Is Strategy: Desire Decays Faster Than You Think If you’re treating online leads like they’re 2012 leads, you’re getting cooked. Amazon has trained consumers. If something doesn’t have the two-day delivery vibe, what do people start thinking? “Do I really need this?” “Maybe I’ll find something similar I can get tomorrow.” That same consumer expectation bleeds into choosing an orthodontist. If you don’t respond fast, if it’s hard to schedule, if it takes forever to get clarity, people don’t wait patiently. They move on or talk themselves out of it. The Five-Minute Rule Isn’t Aggressive. It’s Reality. Studies show that if you don’t follow up within five minutes, there’s a 400 percent decrease in ever getting in touch. Calling back within 60 seconds can boost conversions by 391 percent. Whether you obsess over exact numbers or not, the operational takeaway is undeniable: your speed determines whether you’re still top of mind. Here’s what should sting a little: five minutes should be your worst day. Because in a digital world, five minutes can feel like an hour. Nobody submits a form and then sits there doing nothing, waiting for your office to call. They go right back to scrolling, eating dinner, getting pulled into life. And when you finally call, you’re no longer “the answer.” You’re “some unknown number.” Certainty Collapses When You’re Not Top of Mind When your callback is slow, you trigger confusion: “Who is this?” “Where are you calling from?” “Why are you calling me?” That confusion isn’t neutral. Confusion is uncertainty. Uncertainty is delay. Delay becomes ghosting. If you want more conversions, stop treating speed like an operational detail. Speed is part of your sales system. “Bad Leads” Are Often Just Cold Opportunities, and Your Follow-Up Must Match Human Behavior Most practices overuse the term “bad lead” as emotional protection. It feels better to say “they were a bad lead” than “we didn’t create enough certainty fast enough.” Here’s the reframe: a bad lead is someone you truly can’t serve. Someone without teeth, no pulse, extreme mismatch. Everything else? That’s not a bad lead. That’s an opportunity that either isn’t ready yet, lost excitement, didn’t feel safe, or didn’t get enough follow-up to stay warm. It’s not always that the leads are bad. It’s that the opportunities have gone cold. The Simplest Reason Follow-Up Fails — Nobody Answers Unknown Numbers (Including You) Most of us do not pick up calls from numbers we don’t know. So why is your team shocked when prospects don’t answer? This is why you need a specific cadence: call, voicemail, text, email, repeat. That multi-touch pattern creates recognition: “Oh right, I did request that.” It builds association. And it reduces the emotional friction of picking up. Micro-Impressions Before the Consult Decide Whether They Show Up This might be the most overlooked certainty killer in orthodontics: the little irritations that happen before the patient ever meets the doctor. Being put on hold for minutes (feels like forever). The office not answering. Getting disconnected and not being asked for a callback number. Having to call back and re-enter the queue. These micro-impressions create a subtle story in the patient’s mind: “This is going to be a pain.” That story produces uncertainty. Bottom line: If your front-end experience feels clunky, you can’t treatment-coordinate your way out of it in the consult. Free Growth Session Create Certainty in the Consult by Simplifying the Process and the Money Conversation If you want more same-day starts, stop turning the consult into a college lecture. Here’s a real-world example of a practice that aggressively simplified the consult process: 30 minutes total per new patient exam, records done fast (an eight-minute window), doctor in the room for one to two minutes, treatment coordinator does most of the explanation and fee conversation, they deliberately trained and timed the team to move faster, and fee presentation is simple and consistent. The insight isn’t “everyone must do 30-minute exams.” The insight is: complexity creates hesitation. When the doctor spends 20 minutes explaining the science of orthodontics, the patient walks out thinking, “Wow, this is a big deal. I need to go home and digest this.” In other words: you made it feel heavy, risky, and uncertain. Simplification doesn’t mean low quality. It means low friction. Fees — Answer the Real Question Without Overwhelming Them The patient’s number one question at the consult is: “How much is it?” When offices avoid this, they don’t create certainty. They create suspense. And suspense is not your friend in a high-consideration purchase. One practice’s approach: Lead with one simple plan ($300 down and a monthly that stays under $200). Don’t lead with four options. Options create overwhelm. If they ask about pay-in-full, then you introduce that. If $300 today is a barrier, step it down: $150 today and draft the other $150 in one to two weeks. This strategy isn’t about discounting. It’s about making the decision feel manageable. On the Phone — If You Won’t Quote Fees, You Still Must Remove Financing Fear When people hear “payment plans” and “financing,” they often assume interest, credit checks, banks, and paying more over time. So if your team says, “We have great payment plans,” that’s not certainty. That’s vague reassurance. And vague reassurance reads like sales fluff. Instead, proactively clarify: zero percent interest, no credit checks, in-house financing, no banks involved. That removes uncertainty. And when uncertainty drops, people move forward. Stop Trying to Differentiate With Tech Patients Don’t Understand Some practices try to win by talking about technology (CBCT, bonding techniques, fancy bracket systems) as the primary differentiator. The general public has low dental IQ. Most people don’t know what those things are, and they aren’t buying them up front. What are disruptors winning on? Speed, convenience, little resistance, affordability, and a cool brand. You can wow them clinically once they’re in and committed. But at the decision point, patients buy what reduces friction and uncertainty. Practical Takeaways — A Certainty-First Playbook You Can Implement Now You don’t need a new script. You need a new operating system. Here’s a practical checklist, organized by where certainty is won or lost. Phone: Create Certainty in the First 60 Seconds Train the two T’s: tonality and tempo. Start coaching cadence, not just words. Add the three anchoring questions: How long have you been thinking about it? Why now? Why us? The moment you hear uncertainty, pivot and address it. Don’t keep going like nothing happened. Get comfortable with silence. Nervous filler kills authority. Scheduling —Stop the Endless Loop With Wide Net Statements Replace open-ended scheduling chaos with two-option narrowing. “Specific date or day or first available?” “Morning or afternoon?” “1 p.m. or 3 p.m.?” This approach prevents the call from dragging and keeps you leading. Speed — Protect Momentum Like It’s Revenue (Because It Is) Treat five minutes as unacceptable in normal conditions. Aim to call back before they exit the browser whenever possible. Build operational systems that make fast response normal, not heroic. Follow-Up — Assume They Won’t Answer and Build Recognition Anyway Use the cadence: call, voicemail, text, email, repeat. Stop labeling unresponsive people as “bad.” Most are just cold. Clean up micro-impressions: reduce holds, avoid disconnects without callback capture, and tighten the front desk experience. Consult — Simplify Until Decisions Feel Easy Reduce information overload. Don’t make treatment feel like a complicated life event. Standardize a simple fee presentation. Lead with one clear path. Introduce alternatives only if asked. Remove financing uncertainty with clear language (zero percent interest, in-house, no banks, no credit checks). If You Fix Certainty, You Fix Conversion Your practice isn’t competing only on clinical outcomes anymore. You’re competing on how fast you respond, how easy it is to schedule, how confident your team sounds, how predictable your process feels, and whether the patient understands the money without anxiety. People don’t buy braces. They buy certainty. If you want more starts without feeling salesy, stop trying to close harder. Start building a system that makes the next step feel obvious, safe, and simple. That’s what your market is actually demanding now. Free Growth Session The post Patients Keep Saying No?

In this message, Eric explored one of Jesus' most challenging teachings from John 12:20–26, where Jesus describes life, growth, and glory as something that comes through death, not success. As Eric explained, what Jesus calls “glory” often looks like failure by our culture's standards. Just as a seed must fall into the ground and die to bear fruit, followers of Jesus are invited to stop trying harder and instead surrender their desires, control, and self-reliance to God. Eric challenged listeners to ask an honest question—What am I depending on when I am not depending on God?—and showed how real spiritual growth happens when we trust God with what we cannot control and follow Jesus in the way of surrender.
Nikola Jokic goes down with a knee injury — and suddenly the volume spikes to kill the NBA's 65-game minimum for MVP and All-NBA eligibility. Coincidence? Or the latest example of the league (and its loudest voices) trying to rewrite the definition of greatness in real time?In the first On The Ball episode of 2026, Ric Bucher explains why the 65-game rule shouldn't be rescinded just because a superstar might miss out. Awards aren't about who we think should win based on peak moments, reputation, or “what he'd do if healthy.” They're about who actually delivered over a full season — and availability has always been part of the job.Ric revisits why the rule was created (hello, load management), why voters needed a clear benchmark, and why removing it would encourage exactly what fans hate: rewarding partial seasons while pretending it's the same as dominance over 82 games. He also calls out the shifting standards in NBA media, the growing subjectivity of awards voting, and the obsession with making everything “perfect” — even when perfection creates new injustices.Plus: Ric makes the case that we should be expanding eligibility rules, creating one to deem who is eligible to be an All-Star.Timestamps 00:00 — Intro: “Cooking with gas” / welcome to On The Ball 00:31 — Ric's platforms + book tease: the value of being coachable 01:32 — First pod of 2026: thank you + what's changing the show today 02:03 — The new flashpoint: NBA's 65-game rule + Jokic injury fallout 02:55 — Jokic vs SGA: how the MVP race shifts 03:16 — Why Ric disagrees with eliminating the rule 04:12 — Why the NBA instituted 65 games: load management + voter clarity 05:07 — The voting problem: who has ballots now (and why it matters) 06:35 — Why 65 games is “etched in stone” 07:23 — The old standard: playing 82 used to be the flex 08:03 — “Perfect” officiating vs reality: the replay obsession analogy 09:20 — The hard truth: injustice happens — that's sports (and life) 10:08 — Injuries, modern training, and why the real issue isn't awards 11:07 — Why changing awards rules dodges the real problem 12:32 — Supermax + health: should durability matter? 14:02 — Awards aren't for “who we think”: they're for who proved it 14:40 — The Bill Walton precedent: MVP with 58 games (and the controversy) 16:45 — The fear: rewarding stars for half-seasons 17:26 — Standards eroding: media, mentorship, and the “old head” dilemma 20:28 — Social media pedestal culture + rule changes for entertainment 21:25 — Why removing 65 games diminishes awards 22:12 — Ric's counter: eligibility rules for All-Star voting instead 22:52 — LeBron + All-Star weekend: honor him, don't gift him a spot 25:05 — Emotional policy-making is bad policy 25:47 — What's next: boosting competition, addressing tanking 26:54 — Outro#NBA #NikolaJokic #MVP #AllNBA #LoadManagement #NBAMedia #OnTheBall #RicBucher #BasketballPodcast #UnitedWeCastSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/bucher-and-friends.

Motivation isn't missing. It's misdiagnosed.If you've been telling yourself you just need to “try harder” or “get motivated” - this episode is for you.When you feel stuck, exhausted, or unable to follow through, the problem usually isn't laziness or lack of ambition. It's overload. And your nervous system knows it.In this episode, Peggy breaks down why motivation is not something you can force - and why chasing it often makes things worse. You'll learn how low motivation is actually useful information, what it's really trying to tell you, and how to rebuild momentum without burning yourself out.This isn't about hype, hustle, or pushing through.It's about stability, small steps, and creating the conditions where motivation returns naturally.

"Stop Trying to Make Lean a Thing!" In this electric conversation with Spitfire Coach Lauren LeMunyan, Santana Inniss shares The Glow Initiative's mission to close the access gap in coaching for women and the nonprofits that serve them. Together they break down The Women in the Workplace 2025 report from McKinsey and Lean In and its problematic language, the myth of the so-called "ambition gap," and the uncomfortable truth about how the coaching industry mirrors broken corporate systems. If you're ready to shift from performative allyship to actual change, this episode is your playbook.
AJ and Johnny sit down with Carla Ondrasik, author of Stop Trying, to unpack why the word try is secretly holding you back from real change. Carla shares how “trying” tricks your brain into feeling productive while keeping you stuck — and why doing, not trying, is the antidote to procrastination, perfectionism, and fear. They explore how language shapes behavior, why “I'll try” destroys trust and momentum, and how replacing it with decisive action transforms confidence, relationships, and follow-through. You'll learn how to silence your inner critic, embrace failure, and finally move from thinking about it to living it.

If you're listening to this during the Christmas holiday week and feeling a little on edge, this episode is for you! In today's episode of Boss Bitch Radio, I'm sharing a real coaching call conversation about control - the sneaky kind that looks like being responsible on the outside but feels like anxiety on the inside. Yep, that kind. We talk about why so many women struggle to let go, how trying to control people and situations steals our peace, damages relationships, and keeps us from being present in our own lives. I share personal stories (including my days as a reformed control freak), signs you might be holding onto control without realizing it, and simple mindset shifts to help you release what's not yours to carry! This is a gentle reminder that you don't have to manage everything, fix everyone, or hold it all together to be worthy or safe.

The podcast series explores a game-changing understanding of the human mind that operates “Before Psychology” — the secret source that exponentially increases peace, performance, and potential for any individual or organisation. Why Some People Seem Lucky (And It's Not What You Think). This conversation is an exploration of something many people already sense — but rarely trust. Most people assume that if life isn't working, they need to try harder, think better, or fix something about themselves. But what if the opposite is true? In this episode of the Quality of Mind podcast, Piers Thurston is joined by entrepreneur and author James Eder, whose has been shaped by a sequence of opportunities, connections, and breakthroughs that seem to arrive when he's not forcing them. As you listen just notice when something feels lighter — and when it feels effortful. That contrast is the point. In James new book the Collision Code he recounters his stories of finding himself in moments of clarity, flow, and serendipity — often without trying to make them happen. Together, Piers and James explore: Why intuition feels obvious after the fact but hard to trust in the moment How effort and over-thinking quietly block clarity and momentum The difference between being committed to life and being attached to outcomes Why some experiences feel overwhelming at the time, yet trivial in hindsight How recognition changes experience more than understanding ever could This is not a “how-to” episode. It's an invitation to notice something you may already recognise in your own life — the moments when things worked best before you stepped in to manage them. If you're curious about performance, leadership, wellbeing, or decision-making — and you're tired of hacks and techniques — this conversation offers a different place to look. Rather than analysing this intellectually, the conversation invites listeners to notice the difference between effort and ease in their own experience — and what changes when the mind stops interfering. It's an exploration of something many people already sense — but rarely trust.

Launch Your Box Podcast with Sarah Williams | Start, Launch, and Grow Your Subscription Box
Feeling like you're supposed to be everywhere online? Instagram. TikTok. Facebook. Pinterest. YouTube. Threads. It's exhausting. And for subscription box owners who are already sourcing products, packing boxes, fulfilling orders, and serving customers, it's simply not realistic. In this week's Friday Fuel episode of the Launch Your Box Podcast, we're talking about why trying to “be everywhere” is burning you out and how choosing two primary marketing channels plus email can simplify your strategy, free your time, and help you show up with more clarity and consistency. The Mental Load of “Being Everywhere” Most subscription box owners aren't just creating content, they're juggling every part of their business. When you're told you must be on every platform, it adds guilt, pressure, and overwhelm. Remember: You're building a subscription box, not applying to be a full-time influencer. Trying to chase every social media trend only spreads your energy thin and keeps you from showing up the way your audience needs you to. Start with Momentum Before you add anything new, look at what's already working. Are you consistently active on Instagram? Does your Facebook group get good engagement? Do your Pinterest pins get clicks? Are your Stories getting replies? You don't need to reinvent the wheel. Build on what already has traction.Momentum is one of the most valuable assets in your business. Don't ignore it to chase something shiny and new. The 2 Channels plus Email Formula Here's your simple focus formula: Choose 2 Primary Marketing Channels Add Email Marketing Every Week Pick your channels based on: Where your audience already spends time Where you can show up with consistency What feels natural for you to maintain Your mix might look like: Instagram Reels & Facebook Lives Pinterest & Blog posts TikTok & Instagram Stories But no matter what you choose, email is non-negotiable. Your email list is the only audience you own, and it drives launches, waitlist signups, and sales. If a social post flops, nobody sees it.But when you send an email? It lands in inboxes. That's powerful. Build a Repeatable Routine First Most subscription box owners don't need more platforms. They need more consistency. Before asking “Where else should I be?”, ask: “Am I showing up consistently here?” “Does my audience know when to expect me?” “Have I built my content muscle yet?” Nail your routine on two channels plus email first. Then you can repurpose or expand once it feels easy. Action Steps Audit your energy and results: What's working? What's draining you? Choose your 2 primary channels and commit to them for the next 90 days. Send a weekly email (even a short one). Build the habit. Don't add more until you've built consistency where you already are. You don't need to be everywhere. You just need to be where it matters consistently. Join me for this episode and find out why doing less can actually help you grow more. Two channels. Plus email. That's it. And I'll show you how to make it work. Join me in all the places: Facebook Instagram Launch Your Box with Sarah Website Are you ready for Launch Your Box?

✨Hey! This week looks a little different around here — on purpose. Instead of our usual rhythm, I'm airing five episodes in five days. Think of it as a mini-series designed especially for you — curated, fun, and binge-worthy. Fewer cliffhangers, more “ohhh… that makes sense.” Every episode this week features a conversation from a show I've been invited onto as a guest — hosted by smart, generous people you'll genuinely enjoy listening to. Each episode stands on its own. Together, they create momentum. So if you've been listening here and there, this is a great week to lean in. Start wherever you want — or (best option) listen in order and let the through-line reveal itself. Either way, I'd love to hear what you think. Happiest and Healthiest Holidays to you and your loved ones. ✨ Episode Title: Stop Trying So Hard: “Doing Everything Right” Is Keeping You Stuck Your body can't heal in survival mode — no matter how clean your diet is. What if the reason you don't feel amazing is NOT because you're inconsistent, unmotivated, or doing it wrong? If you've tried “all the right things” and your health still feels off—tired, achy, foggy, or like you're aging too fast—this episode is for you. What if it's because wellness culture keeps handing you high-effort solutions to your health complaints — and your nervous system is quietly waving a white flag? In this conversation on Charis Chats, I join Charis Santillie for a refreshingly sane take on health: why feeling better doesn't require a total life overhaul, why tiny habits outperform dramatic protocols, and how stress, blood sugar, gut health, hormones, and mindset are far more intertwined than most advice admits. This episode is for you if you want to feel clearer, more grounded, and more energized — without turning your life into a full-time self-improvement project. If you've done the dietary shifts, supplements, yoga classes and still feel off… this one will stop you mid-scroll. Long exhale. What We Cover (with Timestamps) [00:02] — Why most people fail at wellness before they even start Not because they lack discipline — but because they're trying to change everything at once. We talk about why your nervous system hates that plan. [00:08] — My unconventional path into functional medicine The childhood moment that shaped my obsession with prevention — and why waiting for a diagnosis is a terrible health strategy. [00:12] — The easiest health upgrades almost everyone can tolerate Why adding beats restricting, how morning habits set your physiology for the day, and where people overcomplicate this fast. [00:15] — MCT oil, brain fuel, and using it without wrecking your gut What it actually does, who benefits most, and why more is not better (your digestive system agrees). [00:22] — Beets, blood flow, and why circulation matters more than you think Nitric oxide, brain health, aging, and the simple daily support most people overlook. [00:26] — Habit stacking: the science-backed shortcut to consistency Why motivation is unreliable, how your brain actually forms habits, and how tiny wins build momentum without burnout. [00:31] — Your body is always listening (this part isn't woo) How thoughts, identity, and repetition shape physiology — and why your subconscious is far more literal than you think. [00:40] — Gluten, inflammation, and the ‘small' symptoms people ignore Skin issues, fatigue, bloating, brain fog — why these aren't random, and what your body may be asking for. [00:55] — The mindset shift that creates lasting health Why consistency quietly beats intensity every time — and how small daily choices compound into real change. The Big Takeaway You don't need a stricter routine. You don't need more supplements. And you definitely don't need to be harder on yourself. You need simpler inputs, smarter habits, and a nervous system that feels safe enough to heal. This episode is your reminder that sustainable health is built quietly — through small, repeatable choices that actually fit your life. Press play. Your future self will thank you. Where to Find Me

If that's you, you're absolutely not alone… and this pep talk is for you. In the third of our December Pep talk series, Zoe unpacks the pressure to please everyone at Christmas, why so many of us fall into this pattern, and how to break free so you can actually enjoy the magic you're creating for everyone else In this pep talk, you'll hear: Why it's literally impossible to please everyone (and why we keep trying anyway) How being raised as “good girls” trained us to put ourselves lastThe real cost of people-pleasing — burnout, resentment, disconnection Three powerful questions to help you reclaim your energyOne simple challenge to start shifting the pattern today You can't please everyone—and you don't need to.

You've trained your brain to see danger everywhere—and you didn't even realize it. Every notification. Every "suspicious person" post. Every late-night scroll through your neighborhood app. Your brain is learning that the world is unsafe, that strangers are threats, and that vigilance equals virtue. But constant alertness doesn't make you safer. It makes you separate. In this episode, I reveal how modern "safety culture" is secretly destroying your mental health—and teaching you to fear the very people who could become your community. In This Episode, You'll Discover:
Do you bristle when things do not go according to plan? In this episode, we explore how the habit of trying to control everything becomes one of the biggest time wasters and energy drains in your life. When you pour effort into things that are not fully under your control, you lose time, and you exhaust your mental, emotional, and physical resources. Many of us do this without realizing it. Trying to manage other people's feelings, reactions, or interpretations drains our energy and leaves us feeling ineffective. I explore why the urge to overcontrol develops and what changes when you shift your attention to the small category of what is genuinely yours to manage, rather than the much larger category that is not.

Leave a message & include your contact or I won't know it's you.If December turns you into everyone's emotional paramedic, this episode is your intervention.We're unpacking the Holiday Savior Complex, that sneaky trauma-driven pattern where you over-function, over-give, manage everyone's moods, smooth over conflict, and basically try to save the entire holiday season from falling apart.And yes… we're going there with adults and kids.I'm breaking down why survivors of emotional and narcissistic abuse slip into “fixer mode,” how it drains you, and what it's really costing your nervous system. You'll also hear the story of the year I didn't put up a Christmas tree right before a big move — my kids weren't thrilled, my friends had opinions, and I learned one of the biggest lessons of my healing journey: I don't have to rescue anyone from their own emotions. And neither do you.In this episode you'll learn: ✨ Why the holidays activate old survival patterns ✨ How rescuing creates self-betrayal (even when it feels loving) ✨ What it looks like to stop managing everyone else's feelings ✨ How to support your kids without over-functioning ✨ Nervous-system resets you can use at holiday gatherings ✨ Permission to do less — without guilt, shame, or burnoutIf this hits a little too close to home, it's not a coincidence. These patterns come from deep subconscious conditioning — and that's exactly what I help women unravel.Support the showTo learn more about my Programs visit the websitewww.radiatenrise.com Email: Allison@radiatenrise.comFree 30 Min Root Cause Call Join Radiate and Rise Together - Survivor Healing Community for Women To send a DM, visit Allison's profiles on Instagram and Facebookhttps://www.instagram.com/allisonkdagney/https://www.facebook.com/allisonkdagney/*Formerly (The Emotional Abuse Recovery Podcast)

Ever wonder why you quit chasing your dreams, or why your goals always seem to stall out? It's not because you lack motivation. It's not because you're incapable, or that you missed your moment. The real reason we stop pursuing the life we want is because we don't want to feel the emotions that come with growth — the uncomfortable, awkward, uncertain emotions. And here's the part most of us don't see: feeling emotions isn't a problem. Avoiding them is. Today, we're going to talk about what it actually looks like to feel any feeling and still move forward. Because when you can handle the emotions that come with pursuing your goals, there is nothing you can't create. WHAT'S NEXT? Choose your next best step
A general meeting isn't about pitching your project. It's about building relationships, establishing trust, and showing executives, producers, and collaborators who you are as a person and storyteller.

There is a revival happening among women right now.A return.A remembering.A rising of the full woman — the regal, elegant, sensual, spiritually grounded woman who holds herself to a standard that rebuilds her entire life from the inside out.Not the watered-down version of womanhood we've been sold.Not the chaotic, burnt-out, self-sacrificing archetype we silently normalized.And not the “soft girl aesthetic” that's all ambiance and no substance.Soft x Savage is the whole woman waking up.In this episode, we are naming the identity behind the movement.The identity that rebuilt my marriage, my motherhood, my presence, and my business — but more importantly, the identity that is becoming the new standard for women who lead with depth, mystery, conviction, and class.Inside, we talk about:- The awakening of the *regal woman* — sensual, elegant, magnetic, and spiritually grounded- Why every powerful woman goes through an identity crack before she rises- How postpartum, purpose shifts, and marriage refinement expose the deeper standards you've outgrown- The identity standards that rebuild a woman's home, marriage, brand, and self—without forcing or performing- The difference between feminine softness and feminine leadership- The revival of women who want to be full, turned-on, multidimensional, creative, disciplined, wealthy, and deeply embodied- Why identity must shift *before* your brand, business, or content can elevate- The Soft x Savage woman as an emerging cultural archetype for 2026This is not a self-help episode.This is an identity recalibration for the woman you're becoming.The woman with taste.The woman with standards.The woman with presence.The woman with emotional and spiritual authority.The woman who makes her life — her home, her brand, her marriage, her body — a reflection of who she truly is.Soft x Savage is not a vibe.It's a revival.And you're here because you feel it too.Similar Episodes-Ep. 195: The Woman Who Forgot Who She Was — and the Holy Rebuilding That Followed-Ep. 166: Stop Trying to Be Who You Were — The Identity Shift That Prepares You for More-Ep. 165: How to Stay Soft While Leading Like a Savage — Feminine Balance for Type-A High-Achieving WomenYour Next MoveIf this episode spoke to your identity — screenshot it, share it to your Stories, and tag@itslaurapatriciamartin + @softxsavagepodcast.Tell me the standard you're elevating in this season — I'll be cheering you on.Resource LinksJoin Bolder Branding Academy — The signature space where we rebuild the digital expression of the woman you are becoming.Identity first.

Watch the FULL podcast here: https://youtu.be/KO_kNTtWahUDo you want to feel more alive without having to earn it by ticking everything off first? I'm exploring how the natural drive to improve is healthy, but using it to reach a standard so you can finally relax keeps you gripping for certainty you can't get.This clip explores the relief of seeing that the future can't be made certain, why “getting everything done” is impossible, and how simple permission slips can loosen that grip. I'm exploring with my guest practical ways to regain perspective during the day: step away, move your body, change your physical context, and then ask, as Jung put it, “What is the next most necessary thing?” We also look at mindfulness as presence of mind in everyday life — repeatedly calling yourself back, noticing when you've drifted into control-seeking, and returning without self-criticism. As a nutritionist and health communicator, I connect these ideas to sustainable wellbeing habits that fit busy days: short breathers, physical movement, and realistic self-permission that supports focus and energy.***This episode is sponsored by: NOWATCH: Health tracking reimaginedKnow your body, trust yourself.15% off with code LWBW15 at nowatch.com***Sign up to Sarah's Compassionate Cure newsletter: Science Simplified, Health Humanised.

Through personal stories—from pitching hit songs to Cher to rewriting her own future through visualization—Carla shares why doing, not trying, is the true path to success.
