One of the biggest lies we've been taught is that if we're perfect enough, we'll finally feel worthy.We'll finally belong.We'll finally be loved.We'll finally feel safe.But perfectionism doesn't create connection. It creates distance, from other people and from ourselves.In this episode, I'm sharing why perfectionism isn't a personality trait. It's a defense mechanism. And how learning self-compassion has completely changed the way I navigate life, relationships, and my own inner world.In this episode, we explore:✨ Why perfectionism is really a fear of rejection and abandonment✨ Brené Brown's "please, perform, perfect" cycle✨ How perfectionism keeps you disconnected from your authentic self✨ The difference between belonging and simply fitting in✨ Why vulnerability is the path to genuine connection✨ The three pillars of mindful self-compassion✨ Practical tools to quiet your inner critic and soften perfectionism✨ How to hold yourself to high standards without abandoning yourself✨ Why embracing your humanity gives others permission to do the sameTo get details about group or VIP coaching inquire here: https://form.typeform.com/to/ownhkW2v⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: https://instagram.com/millifox⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@manifestwithmilli⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website: https://millifox.com

Healing from a narcissistic relationship begins when I stop waiting for the other person to admit they were wrong. I explain why narcissists and addicts share similar psychological patterns, why trying to make them see the truth only keeps me trapped, and the hard truth that finally creates real freedom. I also share practical tools for setting boundaries, disengaging from manipulation, and reclaiming my peace without needing their validation.SHOW HIGHLIGHTS00:00 - Why You Can't Heal Without Accepting This Truth01:04 - Why Narcissists Never Admit They're Wrong02:22 - The Victim Mentality and Gaslighting Cycle03:18 - Stop Trying to Make Them Understand04:42 - The Hidden Shame Behind Narcissism05:25 - Why Narcissists Are Like Addicts06:11 - Accepting What You Cannot Change07:24 - The Trap of Trying to Fix Them08:32 - The Hard Truth That Sets You Free09:03 - Setting Clear Boundaries10:01 - How to Deal with a Narcissist or Addict11:21 - Breaking the Addiction to Control12:07 - A Better Way to Engage13:00 - A Practical Communication Tool14:20 - Final Thoughts and Takeaways***Tired of feeling like you're never enough?

Stop Trying To convince people

Live Webinar ➡️ https://signup.thesistersenchanted.com/witchywomen_2026Here's what happens to so many of us when we come to witchery...We arrive with a list: Fix the anxiety. Fix the people-pleasing. Fix whatever's in the twelfth house that explains why we're like this. We peel back the birth chart looking for the answer to what's wrong with me and we call it a healing journey.But look at anything alive. A tree grows and drops limbs and grows again. Some years it blooms enormous and some years it's just trying its best. The grass changes and the rocks change. Nothing in the natural world is continuously improving .And that tree with the old laundry line grown into the bark? The mark doesn't go away, the tree just keeps growing around it.That's you! Growing and spiraling and shifting and releasing and all the things. In this episode I'm inviting you to leave healing at the doorstep and pick up something better: awareness, presence, and the self-trust that doesn't require there to be anything to fix.In this episode:

Tired of ADHD strategies that don't work? Start here: Stop Trying to “Fix” Your ADHD. You're Not Broken: https://programs.tracyotsuka.com/sign-up_____Faye Lawrence got blackout drunk at 13. What she remembers is not the drinking. It is the relief.She started drinking heavily as a teenager and kept going for decades. From the outside she looked successful and high functioning, right up until late 2017, when the wheels came off the cart and she found herself in inpatient detox.She got sober. Then she waited five more years to find out why she had been drinking in the first place. Faye was diagnosed with ADHD at 48, and suddenly the chaos, the burnout, the emotional intensity, the boredom, and the constant need to switch her brain off all made sense. Alcohol had not come out of nowhere. It had been doing a job.Faye is now a certified grey area drinking coach and ADDCA certified ADHD coach with degrees in psychology and counselling, and she has spoken at TEDx and SXSW. She founded Untoxicated, which grew into Australia's largest alcohol-free social community back when being sober was decidedly uncool.In this episode, Tracy and Faye get into grey area drinking and why the all-or-nothing label keeps people stuck, what alcohol is actually doing in an ADHD brain, the mummy wine culture that was sold to women on purpose, and why the carrot works where the stick never will.If you have ever needed a drink to get your brain to be quiet, this conversation is not here to shame you. It is here to give you clarity.ResourcesWebsite: https://fayelawrence.com.auInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/_fayelawrence_Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FayeLawrenceCoachingLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/faye-lawrence-ausFree Wine O'Clock reset guide: https://fayelawrence.com.au/tracyo ADHD-alcohol small group coaching program also opens in mid-August: https://fayelawrence.com.au/loopSend a Message: Your Name | Email | Message Explore more from me:

Tired of ADHD strategies that don't work? Start here: Stop Trying to “Fix” Your ADHD. You're Not Broken: https://programs.tracyotsuka.com/sign-up_____Some brains cannot sit still long enough to be careful. Ella Fielding found a machine that runs on exactly that.Ella has a BA in Fine Art Sculpture, a Masters in Fine Art, and a chainsaw operator's license, and she uses all three to turn whole trees into monumental sculpture. But she left school at 14 because it was too traumatic to stay. She was quick with her hands and slow to get anything out of her head onto paper, and for most of her life nobody named why. She was 38, running her own art business and drowning in the admin, when a work coach kept mentioning ADHD and she kept insisting she was just dyslexic. Turns out it was both.Now she carves outside in full gear, running a machine most people won't touch and making it behave like a scalpel. Not despite the ADHD. Because of it. A chainsaw does not let you drift or second-guess or wait for the perfect plan. It demands you be right here, right now, which is the one place her brain has always worked best.In this episode, Tracy and Ella get into the school years that nearly broke her, the "poof" moment where a thought vanishes the second she reaches for a pen, why immediate and physical beats slow and planned for a brain like hers, and how she reads her own overwhelm as a signal instead of a character flaw.If you have ever been told you were too much, this one might reframe the whole thing.Resources:Website: https://ellafielding.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/ella.fielding.sculptorFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/ellafieldingsculptorLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ella-fielding-sculptorSend a Message: Your Name | Email | Message Explore more from me:

Changing your identity starts with realizing identity and manifestation aren't two separate journeys; they're the same one. My love, the life you're living right now is not happening to you. It's happening because of you. Not because you're broken, not because you're cursed, not because you're behind, but because your reality is a mirror, reflecting back exactly what you believe about yourself right now.Most people spend their whole life trying to change what they see in the mirror, new job, new relationship, new city, new body, and wonder why nothing shifts. It's because identity equals decision, and decision equals reality. There are three stages of consciousness you're cycling through without even realizing it, and until you see which one is actually running your choices, no amount of affirmations or vision boards will move the needle.Episode Takeaways:Recognize the three stages of consciousness, the 3D, 4D, and 5D, and notice which one is quietly running your decisionsUnderstand why identity equals decision, and decision equals reality, not destinyStop mistaking affirmations, vision boards, and manifestation techniques for actual identity workTrust that the 4D awakening state isn't failure, it's the portal where your miracles are builtSee how one Manifesting Miracles Academy member manifested $16,000 by changing who she believed she was, not by getting luckyWhen you stop trying to fix the reflection and start changing what's standing in front of the mirror, everything shifts. You stop grinding, proving, and performing your way toward a life that already feels exhausting before it starts. You become the version of you who trusts herself, who receives without flinching, who knows the universe isn't something to convince but something to create with. That's not a fantasy. That's what happens when your identity actually changes. If this episode resonated, your first month inside the Manifesting Miracles Academy is completely free — link below.✨ MANIFESTING MIRACLES ACADEMY  ✨ Your first month is completely free.Join now: https://manifestingmiracles.thinkific.com/pages/memberships

What if the reason you cannot conceive has nothing to do with your body?Josh Trent welcomes Ronit Menashe and Vida Delrahim, co-founders of WeNatal, to the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 826, to explore why fertility is a team sport that Western medicine has treated as a solo event, why the 90 days before conception matter more than any moment that follows, and why the 60% collapse in male sperm quality is not just a biological crisis but a spiritual one.In This Episode, Vida Delrahim and Ronit Menashe Uncover:(01:30) Birth Is Spiritual Disguised as Biology(07:00) Masculine Energy and What It Costs Women(13:15) Trimester Zero Is The Most Important Trimester(16:15) Stop Trying, Start Receiving(23:10) Moving Through Loss(29:00) The Safety a Mother Creates(36:25) What Came Back Online When Life Came In(44:00) The BIG Problem Nobody Is Talking About(50:35) What Is Actually Happening to Sperm(55:15) The Trimester Zero Checklist for Men(01:03:15) Becoming the Case Study(01:07:45) The Words That Create Life(01:11:20) What Birth Actually Does to a Person(01:14:25) Midlife Crisis VS Midlife Expansion

What if trying to manifest love is the very thing keeping you from experiencing it?In this solo episode, Kate challenges the popular belief that you need to visualize, plan, and control your way into the perfect relationship. When the desire for love comes from fear, lack, or the belief that your life is incomplete, no person or relationship will ever feel like enough.Kate explores a new way of approaching love that begins with trusting life, returning to the present moment, and cultivating within yourself the feelings you have been waiting for someone else to provide. Instead of creating lists, searching for “the one,” or deciding how your love story should unfold, she invites you to let every connection reveal something deeper about who you are.When you stop treating love as a destination, you create space for relationships, experiences, and unexpected moments of connection to become part of your soul's unfolding.In This Episode We Explore:Why manifesting love from a place of lack creates more seekingHow trying to control your love story communicates a lack of trust in lifeWhy your ideal-partner list may prevent you from being present on a dateHow every relationship can serve a different purpose in your evolutionThe difference between following your soul and following conditioned desiresWhy love is much bigger than one romantic relationshipHow people and places activate different parts of who you areThe importance of focusing on your experience instead of someone else's experience of youWhy relationships are living, evolving experiences rather than destinationsHow cultivating the feelings you desire allows you to arrive in love already fulfilledYour purpose is not waiting somewhere outside of you, and neither is love. The more deeply you return to yourself, listen to your inner guidance, and follow what brings you alive, the more space you create for life to surprise you with something greater than you could have planned.Website: https://www.theunscriptdwoman.com/Website: https://www.theunscriptdwoman.com/About the Host:Kate Harlow is the founder of The Unscriptd Woman, the creator of The Expanded Love Coaching Method, and host of The New Truth podcast - ranked in the top 1.5% globally.

What happens when we stop trying to prove that we are good enough? Pastor Nate talks with the Rev. Alex LaChappelle about law and gospel, the pressure to fix ourselves, and the freedom of trusting that God's love is already present.Together, they explore why the church is bigger than any building, how grace changes the way we see ourselves and our neighbors, and why God continues to see possibility in us, even when we only see our mistakes.What You'll LearnUnderstand law and gospel in everyday languageRecognize when faith becomes another form of pressureSee sin as separation from God, ourselves, and one anotherPractice viewing yourself and others through graceTrust that God meets us in difficult and imperfect placesChapters00:00 Introducing the Rev.

Stop trying so hard.Not stop caring.Not stop showing up.But stop trying to do what only God can do.Some of us are exhausted because we're carrying things that were never ours to carry.Only God changes hearts. Only God controls timing. Only God can do the impossible.Trust Him with everything.This episode encourages listeners to release control, surrender outcomes, and trust God with everything…in marriage, parenting, health, dreams, and every uncertain season.When we stop striving and start trusting, we discover that we can never lose when we remember that our lives are in His hands. You can never lose when your life is surrendered to Him. Music: “River,” an original piano piece written and performed by Benjamin Waggoner.We would like to pray for you.

For much of our lives, we've been taught that we need to improve ourselves—to become healthier, happier, more successful, or more spiritual. But what if that constant drive to "be better" begins with the mistaken belief that something is wrong with us?In this episode of Mondays with Bev & Paul, we explore a different perspective. What if healing isn't about fixing yourself, but about nurturing yourself? What if pain, stress, or illness don't mean you're broken, but simply that your body and mind are asking for care and support?We'll discuss the difference between self-improvement and self-nurturing, why we are often our own harshest critics, and how the philosophy of Bio-Touch reminds us that healing begins with acceptance rather than judgment.Join us for an inspiring conversation about compassion, human connection, and discovering that perhaps nothing is wrong with you after all.In this episode you'll discover:Why we often believe we need fixingThe difference between growth and self-criticismHow nurturing creates space for healingWhat Bio-Touch teaches about caring without judgmentA new way to think about health, healing, and being humanLearn more about Bio-Touch Healing at:https://www.justtouch.com

Episode 265: When Missionaries Feel Fake explores a concern I hear from missionaries all the time: "I don't feel like myself." Whether it's teaching lessons, talking to strangers, leading discussions, or stepping into a new role, many missionaries worry they're being fake or simply going through the motions. In this episode, I share why feeling performative isn't necessarily the problem and how understanding what's happening beneath the surface can help you show up with more confidence, authenticity, and peace. We talk about the difference between performing and pretending, why our brains naturally adapt to unfamiliar situations, and how the emotion fueling your actions matters far more than the actions themselves. I also share practical examples of how shifting from proving yourself to genuinely loving the people you teach can completely change your missionary experience. Whether you're preparing to serve, currently serving, training a missionary, or supporting one at home, this episode will help you recognize the difference between simply doing missionary work and letting your real testimony and love lead the way. If you've ever questioned whether you're authentic enough, spiritual enough, or "doing it right," I hope this episode reminds you that you don't have to become someone else to be an effective missionary. The goal isn't to stop performing a new role—it's to let your thoughts, feelings, and testimony become aligned with the person God created you to be. I hope Episode 265: When Missionaries Feel Fake helps you serve with greater sincerity, confidence, and connection. As always, if you found this episode helpful, I want to invite you to subscribe if you aren't already, share this episode with your friends and missionaries you know, and write a review. I know this work will help LDS missionaries around the world and it would mean so much to me if you did.

Tired of ADHD strategies that don't work? Start here: Stop Trying to “Fix” Your ADHD. You're Not Broken: https://programs.tracyotsuka.com/sign-up_____She was good at the job. She just kept bombing the people.Dr. Shannan Palma has a PhD from Emory, founded a master's program, and taught as a college professor. Then, in midlife, she found out she was autistic. ADHD turned up right behind it.For decades she had followed the rules exactly as they were written and could not work out why that kept failing her. She was direct when directness was not wanted. She said no when everyone else said yes and did nothing. She ran full speed until she collapsed, then ramped back up and did it again. The diagnosis did not just explain the pattern. It ended it.Today she identifies as AuDHD, co-founded the autistic-led nonprofit Independence Through Interdependence, and serves as CEO of ITI Lab, where her team built Decide, an app for decision fatigue.In this episode, Tracy and Shannan get into why decision fatigue is not a willpower problem, what happens when the autism wants routine and the ADHD wants novelty, the assessment that went badly wrong, and what it takes to rebuild after burnout on your own terms instead of someone else's.If your brain has ever turned a small decision into a full-body shutdown, this one will help you understand why. And more importantly, what actually helps.ResourcesWebsite: https://weareiti.orgWebsite: https://itilab.ioLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shannanpalmaADHD isn't a productivity problem.

Are you just busy working? Or are you adding value? Marketing has become overloaded with channels, platforms, metrics, and specialized roles. But Seth Matlins believes the job itself is much simpler: create value, drive sustainable growth, and help the business create and keep customers. In this episode, Seth joins Stephanie Postles to explain why CMO job descriptions are often fundamentally disconnected from business results—and why marketers must see themselves as commercial leaders, not merely brand leaders. They discuss the danger of optimizing for departmental metrics instead of business outcomes, why short-term pressure can destroy long-term growth, and what Seth learned from one of the biggest strategic mistakes of his career. They also explore why brands must become more humane in an AI-driven world, what separates the world's most influential CMOs, and why every decision a company makes either creates or destroys value.

Life is not a problem; it is an experience. Life becomes a problem when we resist the discomfort some experiences trigger within us. The ego stores these resisted experiences, creating fear, tension, and the endless struggle to control circumstances in order to feel okay. Freedom comes through surrendering inner resistance, relaxing through discomfort, and allowing life to unfold without losing our natural state of awareness, love, and peace. © Sounds True Inc.

The first instinct after an intrusive thought is usually to get rid of it. You tell yourself it isn't true. You try to prove it wrong. You replay it in your head, search for certainty, or avoid anything that might trigger it again. It feels like you're protecting yourself, but those reactions are often exactly what keeps OCD alive and thriving.In this video, Dr. Patrick McGrath explains why some of the most common ways people respond to unwanted thoughts actually make them stronger. Instead of focusing on what you should do, he breaks down what NOT to do, including why learning to stop fighting your thoughts is one of the most important steps toward breaking the OCD cycle.At NOCD, we specialize in exposure and response prevention (ERP) therapy, the most effective treatment for OCD—a treatment that can help you live a fulfilling life.

What does it mean to abide in God when your quiet time feels empty and your spiritual life feels flat?You've been showing up — reading your Bible, praying, doing all the things — and something still feels off. This episode is about what's actually happening when that occurs. Not what you're doing wrong. What's actually going on. We go deep into John 15 to unpack what Jesus actually meant when he said remain in me — why the fruit that grows from genuine abiding was never meant to just feed you, and what it looks like to stay when everything in you wants to fix the flatness or conclude that God is gone.Abiding is not a feeling you achieve. It's a posture you return to.In This Episode•Why doing all the right spiritual things can still leave you feeling completely disconnected•What John 15 actually says about dependence, pruning, joy, and friendship with God•Why reading God's word alone doesn't produce transformation — and what has to be added•How the fruit of abiding flows outward and feeds others not just yourself•Why hormonal shifts can affect your spiritual life in ways nobody warned you aboutKey Takeaways•Chase the feeling and you end up performing. Stay in the posture and the fruit takes care of itself•The Word has to abide in you — not just pass through you•Grace positions you in the vine. Faith keeps you there. The fruit grows as the overflow of both•The flatness in your quiet time might be the Father pruning — not evidence that something is wrong•The fruit you bear isn't yours. It's Christ's life flowing through a branch that stayed connectedSeries NoteEpisode two of the Simply Remain series.

Hey friend,  You know what you're supposed to do for your health, so why does it still fall apart every time life gets hard? If "I want more energy" keeps you consistent for two weeks and then disappears, could your why just be too thin? Have you ever started a healthy habit, stayed consistent for a bit, and then found yourself right back at square one, and blamed your willpower? I'm Ashley — a mom living with chronic illness in a neurodivergent family. If you're dealing with constant fatigue, brain fog, inflammation, and broken sleep while trying to keep up with your kids, you're not alone. Chronic Illness Moms is a podcast for moms with chronic illness or chronic symptoms who want stress relief, better sleep, and simple, realistic habits that actually work inside a full, demanding life. If you've ever known exactly what healthy habits you need and still not been able to stay consistent, this episode is for you. I share my deeply personal why for staying committed to my health even when my body and schedule are working against me. I walk through a simple dig-deeper method to find the emotional anchor that holds when motivation runs dry, and explain why surface-level motivation burns out so fast for burned-out moms managing chronic illness while raising neurodivergent kids.   Part 3: Resources and Links Mentioned 1:1 chronic health coaching: https://ashleybraden.com/coaching Join the free Chronic Health Moms Facebook community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/chronichealthmoms Hearthwell Naturals magnesium cream (mentioned for bedtime wind-down): https://payhip.com/hearthwellnaturals   Related Episodes: 229.

Send us Fan MailThe moment someone comes at you with blame, jealousy, or anger, your body wants to brace and your mind wants to build a case. We go straight into what happens when you do the opposite: stay open, drop the defense, and let compassion do the work. Laurie T. joins me to share what unfolded in her long-term marriage when her husband “lit out” at her and she simply held space, listened, and refused to fight for her innocence.From there, we tackle one of the stickiest traps on a spiritual path: trying to use your awakening to get specific people to wake up. We talk about projection, approval-seeking, and why measuring progress by someone else's behavior keeps you out of peace. I unpack empathy versus compassion, why worry is just fear in disguise, and how forgiveness in A Course in Miracles points to one consistent practice: give everyone their innocence back, including yourself.We also get into spiritual bypassing, group identity, and why “encouraging people to do better” can hide a judgment that blocks real connection. If you're navigating relationship conflict, family estrangement, addiction in the family, or you just want a grounded way to live ACIM teachings, this conversation offers a clear next step you can apply today.

Tired of ADHD strategies that don't work? Stop Trying to “Fix” Your ADHD. You're Not Broken: https://programs.tracyotsuka.com/sign-up_____Laura Pasley is a child and youth worker in Ontario, Canada, who has spent more than a decade in intensive mental health and dual-diagnosis treatment programs for children and adolescents. She is the person who runs toward the crisis when everyone else is running away from it.After postpartum anxiety, postpartum OCD, complex trauma, and her sixth concussion, Laura started questioning whether ADHD had been part of her story all along. At 32, she finally received the diagnosis that helped her see herself differently. Not as someone who had fooled everyone. Not as someone who was not smart. As someone whose brain had been working hard to keep her alive.In this episode, Tracy and Laura talk about ADHD, trauma, fawning, concussions, crisis work, motherhood, shame, and what changes when a woman finally stops explaining every struggle through what happened to her. Laura also shares why she is now returning to school, writing a memoir, and learning to embrace being a daydreamer.If you have ever wondered whether it is ADHD, trauma, anxiety, or all of the above, this conversation offers a gentler question: what if understanding your brain is not about proving what is wrong with you, but finally seeing what has always been true?ResourcesInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/arttaropyThreads: https://www.threads.com/@arttaropySend a Message: Your Name | Email | Message Explore more from me:

Ever feel like you should be able to stay focused for all 18 holes?Yeah… good luck with that.In this episode, I'm giving you permission to stop trying to focus for four straight hours like some kind of highly caffeinated golf robot. Your brain is supposed to wander. It's human. It's normal. It may even start thinking about dinner, the beverage cart, or why Betty won't stop talking right before you hit.The real skill isn't perfect focus. It's learning how to refocus.You'll learn why losing focus doesn't mean something has gone wrong, how to bring your brain back to the shot in front of you, and why your pre-shot routine can become your best little reset button. We'll also talk about what happens after a bad shot, when your focus gets stuck on the mistake and suddenly one swing turns into four holes of mental drama.Golf is not a game of perfect focus. It's a game of repeated refocusing.So if your brain wanders off like a puppy rolling in a dead frog, don't panic. Just bring it back to the fairway.Want help managing your golf brain on and off the course?

In this episode of The Mental Training Lab, I sit down with sport psychologist and three-time national champion Dr. Kate Bennett, founder of Full Send Consulting, to explore one of the most powerful and often misunderstood drivers of performance: genuine human connection.Kate's work sits at the intersection of athlete well-being, mental performance, and transformational coaching. Heavily influenced by Jerry Lynch's Way of Champions and Brené Brown's research on shame, scarcity, and vulnerability, Kate helps athletes, teams, and coaches build cultures where people feel seen, valued, and loved for who they are. We talk about why connection and mattering are more than “soft extras.” They are core performance drivers. We explore how listening without immediately fixing can create real transformation, why psychological safety makes courageous risk-taking possible, and how love in high-performance environments often looks like accountability, honest conversations, and a willingness to go into hard places together.If you're a coach, practitioner, athlete, or leader trying to build a culture where people can perform at a high level without burning out, this episode offers practical “marching orders”: listen more deeply, model vulnerability, create safety, recognize people for how they show up, and build the kind of belonging that helps excellence emerge.Learn about Kate's work at fullsendconsulting.co.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Learn more about The Mental Training LabConnect with Pete on Instagram | LinkedIn | WebsiteSubscribe to the podcast on Apple | SpotifyThis show is produced and edited by the team at Palm Tree Pod Co.  

If you've ever believed grief and joy can't coexist, episode 444 of Grief and Happiness will change your mind. Cancer survivor Harriet Cabelly shares the mindset that carried her through diagnosis: it's not what happens to you, but what you do with it. Sitting with pain, not rushing past it, is the real path to a life worth living.In This Episode, You Will Learn:(00:03) Introducing Harriet Cabelly and her work in grief, loss, and positive psychology(02:34) Viktor Frankl, logotherapy, and the life-changing lessons of Man's Search for Meaning(04:27) Harriet's cancer diagnosis and choosing not to live as a victim of circumstance(10:58) Post-traumatic growth: how difficulty can become the seed of real change(11:55) "Leaving an imprint in the sand" — redefining legacy and paying it forward(12:44) Building community through small, unplanned acts of connection(18:08) Turning to creativity — handwritten cards and nature photography — as an outlet for grief(24:33) Why Harriet chose a creative arts therapist over a traditional support group(26:40) Confronting society's discomfort with grief and its obsession with quick fixesHarriet Cabelly is a licensed clinical social worker in New York focused on grief, loss, and life transitions. A cancer survivor, she blends positive psychology with Viktor Frankl's logotherapy, studied through his Vienna institute, and founded Rebuild Life Now. She has authored several books, including Light Through Darkness and Your To Die For Life, and works as a speaker and facilitator helping clients hold grief and joy together.In this episode, Harriet reframed grief around one idea: it's not what happens to us, but what we do with it, that shapes our lives. Rather than adopting a victim mentality after her diagnosis, she used it to fuel a mission of paying forward the gift of her life. She and Emily discussed how creative outlets like handwritten cards and nature photography can substitute for talk therapy, and why growth only emerges once pain is fully felt. Harriet also challenged society's discomfort with grief, noting people reach for quick fixes instead of sitting with pain. The conversation closed on her image of "leaving an imprint in the sand," capturing that healing happens through small acts of care.Connect with Harriet Cabelly:WebsiteLinkedInInstagramYouTubeLet's Connect: WebsiteLinkedInFacebookInstagramTwitterPinterestThe Grief and Happiness AllianceBook: Emily Thiroux Threatt - Loving and Living Your Way Through Grief Hosted on Acast.

You're Not Broken: https://programs.tracyotsuka.com/sign-up_____Your kid got labeled the “problem.” The defiant one, the behavior kid, the one who couldn't sit still or keep up. What if the room was the thing that didn't fit?Beven Byrnes is a neurodivergent educator, nonprofit leader, and a mom of four. She's the Executive Director of Bridges Middle School in Portland, the only middle school in Oregon built specifically for students with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, and anxiety.Beven spent 25 years and raised over $15 million building environments where kids actually fit. But she didn't have her own ADHD diagnosis until this past year, at 50. Cancer treatment forced her into menopause at 45, her estrogen dropped, and the masking she'd done her whole life without knowing it stopped working. The square-peg feeling she'd carried since childhood finally made sense. Now she runs a school on one idea: behavior is communication, and the job isn't to fix the kid, it's to fix the environment around them.In this episode, Tracy and Beven get into why behavior is almost always communication, what happens to a child's confidence after years of being misread, and what it looks like to build a school around how kids actually learn instead of forcing them to fit.If your child, or you, ever got treated like the problem to be solved, this one will show you what was actually broken. And it was never the brain.Resources:Website: https://www.bridgesms.org/staff-spotlight-beven-byrnes-executive-directorInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mrs_byrnesLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/beven-byrnesSend a Message: Your Name | Email | Message Explore more from me:

We're kicking off a brand new weekly theme that I'm honestly really excited about.All week long we're going to be talking about this idea:What if you treated your life like a video game?Now stay with me here.Because if you really think about it… life actually works a lot like one.You start somewhere you didn't choose. You're given certain strengths and weaknesses. You gain experience through challenges. You level up through effort. You face boss battles along the way.And if you play the game long enough, you slowly start building a stronger, wiser, more capable version of yourself.The problem is… most people are trying to play the game completely wrong.They want the gear before the quest. They want the results before the reps. They want the level-50 character… without ever playing level 1.And that's what I want to talk about today.Because one of the most powerful mindset shifts you can make for your health, your fitness, and honestly your entire life is this:Stop trying to start at Level 50.Start at Level 1.Resources: Brain.fm App(First month Free, then 20% off subscription)Discount Code: coachdamiensdLinks:IG:@coachdamien_sd@damienrayevans@livinthedream_podcast YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS6VuPgtVsdBpDj5oN3YQTgFB:https://www.facebook.com/coachdamienSD/

You're Not Broken: https://programs.tracyotsuka.com/signup_____You have heard of art therapy and talk therapy. Charlotte Hastings does therapy in the kitchen, and it opens people up in a way the usual chair never quite does.Charlotte Hastings is a psychodynamic therapist, founder of Kitchen Therapy, and author of Kitchen Therapy: How to Become a Conscious Cook. Trained first as an anthropologist, she taught drama to neurodivergent teenagers before building an entire therapeutic approach around the kitchen.Charlotte recognized her own ADHD in her forties, after years of self-medicating and a chaotic childhood with an undiagnosed, alcoholic father. School had convinced her she was not smart. Anthropology, Jung, and eventually a wooden spoon proved otherwise. Now she uses cooking the way other therapists use art or drama: a side-by-side, low-pressure space where the real stuff surfaces.In this episode, Tracy and Charlotte talk about why cooking can work like art or drama therapy, why food and love are so entwined, how recipes can both support and shut down ADHD brains, and why the way you hold a wooden spoon might reveal the way you hold life. If cooking has ever felt loaded, boring, chaotic, or impossible, this conversation offers a gentler reframe: the meal is not just the result. The journey is the meal.ResourcesWebsite: https://therapykitchen.co.ukInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/therapy.kitchenSend a Message: Your Name | Email | MessageADHD isn't a productivity problem.

Boris Becker burned out at 25. Former British No1 Jo Konta carried her family's sacrifice onto court every match and Irish tennise pr Conor Niland described a tennis player's self-worth as entirely tied to winning and losing — nothing else. Three players, the same problem: identity wrapped around results, the sport becoming something to survive.This week, in the run-up to Wimbledon, Jake and Damian go back into the archive to hear from all three — then hand over to leading performance coach, Ben Crowe, who has spent 30 years helping the world's best athletes solve exactly that problem.Ben has worked with athletes Ash Barty and Steph Gilmore coached NBA teams and the Australian Cricket Team, and comes personally recommended by Andre Agassi. You'll hear the full story of Ash Barty's French Open semifinal — 5-0 up and tightening, 3-0 down and laughing — and what shifted in her mind to turn it around. Plus Ben's central idea: the opposite of play is not work. It's fear. And most people, most of the time, are in the fear state without knowing it.Where the Light Gets In by Ben Crowe is available now.Revolut Business

Stuck in an ADHD pattern that keeps repeating? SHIFT is a collection of 120 guided audio experiences designed to help you see yourself and your ADHD brain differently. Explore SHIFT here: https://tracyotsuka.com/shift_Have you ever had a really productive day and still felt like you didn't do enough?You answered the emails. You made the calls. You went to the meeting. You finished the project. Maybe you even did the thing you had been putting off for weeks. And still, by the end of the day, your brain was already moving on to everything you missed, forgot, or still needed to do.Today, I want to talk about why success does not always feel like success for ADHD women.Our brains are often scanning for what is unfinished, unresolved, or potentially threatening. So even when we complete ten things, we can still end the day focused on the one thing we did not get done.But today, I want you to practice noticing what is going right. Noticing your progress. Noticing the effort it took. Noticing the evidence that you are capable, that you do follow through, and that you can do difficult things.Because success does not create confidence when we ignore it. Success creates confidence when we notice it.If you have ever struggled to feel proud of yourself, even after doing so much, this episode will help you pause long enough to collect the evidence your brain keeps overlooking.Timestamps:[00:00 – 03:58] Why Success Does Not Always Feel Like Success[03:58 – 06:22] How Negativity Bias Keeps Us Focused on What Is Unfinished[06:22 – 07:15] Breathwork Practice[07:15 – 08:28] Gratitude Check-In and Noticing What You Have Done[08:28 – 10:10] Reassessing Your SUD Score and Collecting the Evidence[10:10 – 11:00] Closing Reflection and SHIFT InvitationADHD isn't a productivity problem.

If you've tried therapy, medication, journaling, and every mindset tool available — and you're still anxious — this episode is for you. Dr. Russell Kennedy, physician, neuroscientist, and certified trauma therapist, makes the case that anxiety doesn't start in your mind. It starts in your body, as a physiological alarm that's likely been there since childhood. And until you address the alarm directly, you're only ever managing symptoms. Dr. Kennedy explores why perimenopause turns up the volume on anxiety that felt manageable before, why overachievement is just another way of outrunning the alarm, and what you can actually do — today — to start healing from the body up. Fair warning: Dr. Kennedy takes Dr. Stephanie through a live exercise to find her body alarm. There were tears in the production room.

Tired of ADHD strategies that don't work? Here's what actually does. FREE training here: https://programs.tracyotsuka.com/signup_____You bought the planner. You loved the planner. You were absolutely, positively sure this planner was going to change your life.And then, by March, you forgot it existed.When we moved out of our family home of 25 years, I found boxes. Boxes and boxes of barely used planners I'd been saving for who knows why. For a long time I thought that meant something about me. That I wasn't disciplined enough. That everyone else got some secret instruction manual for adulthood that I'd missed.But the women I work with aren't lazy or unfocused. They're brilliant, driven, running companies and raising families. And they can't stick with a planner either. That's when it clicked. This was never a planning problem. It's a time problem, a decision problem, and an emotional regulation problem. Planning is just where those show up.In this episode I talk about why ADHD brains experience time differently, why importance alone won't get you started, why most planners quietly set you up for an impossible day, and why one meaningful goal beats ten random ones.If you've got a planner graveyard sitting in a drawer somewhere, this one is for you. The question was never what's wrong with you. The question is what kind of system actually works for your brain.Resources:Get the planner: https://tracyotsuka.com/planner Use code PODCASTPLANNER for $10 offWebsite: tracyotsuka.comInstagram: https://instagram.com/tracyotsuka YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@tracyotsuka4796FREE 3-days to Fall in Love With Your ADHD Brain training on Jan 6th:  https://tracyotsuka.com/ilovemybrain Tired of ADHD strategies that don't work?

Parents are being sold creativity like it's a subscription box. Workshops, kits, frameworks, scripts: the message being that your kid needs more imagination and it's your job to install it. Austin Kleon, author of Steal Like an Artist and Don't Call It Art, has a different take: your kid already has it. The imagination, the playfulness, the willingness to not-know — it's all there. The question isn't how to give it to them. It's how to stop blocking it. And maybe, while we're here, how to get a little of it back ourselves. Dr. Becky and Austin talk about what creativity actually needs to thrive (not a workshop), what so-called "problem kids" and great artists have in common, why your kid's obsession with garage doors is not a problem, the link between play and depression, the game that got Austin through the pandemic, and the teeth-brushing song Becky invented entirely by accident. Read Dr. Becky's ideas for how to be a playful parent when you don't feel like playing. * From the newborn days to the teen years, Good Inside now supports parents through every stage of childhood — with practical guidance for the moments that matter most.  Thank you to our partners for making this episode possible: Play-Doh: Shop Play-Doh at Walmart for a summer of imaginative play Skylight: Get $30 off a 15-inch Skylight Calendar at myskylight.com/becky LMNT: Get a free gift with your purchase at drinkLMNT.com/goodinside Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
