In this episode, I unpack a relationship dynamic I see repeatedly in my coaching: the over-functioner and the taker.In this episode, I talk about:Why over-functioners and under-functioners can be so attracted to each other.How your competence can hide a partner's lack of contribution.Why constantly stepping forward prevents you from seeing whether your partner would step forward without you.The difference between genuine strength and self-abandonment.Why receiving can feel so uncomfortable for women who are used to doing everything themselves.How stronger boundaries change not necessarily who is attracted to you—but who gets to stay.What happens when you stop asking, "How do I make this relationship work?" and start asking, "Is this relationship actually right for me?"If you recognise yourself in this episode and you're ready to change the patterns you're repeating in love, I'd love to support you.Please email me here carladacosta@proton.me to book a complimentary 15-minute discovery call with me to explore coaching with me to circuit break this lifetime pattern.Carla x

We're ringing it back with the most viral Homie Helpline of 2026 as "The Kitty Pounder" reveals she was fired because of her radio appearance and served with papers at a funeral—but she's bouncing back with a new michelada hustle!

Episode 112 opens with DJXP taking accountability for the previous podcast cycle, explaining how personal circumstances prevented him from being the best version of himself on the last episode. The conversation quickly shifts to Kawhi Leonard as the crew breaks down why the Raptors trade remains in limbo and what recent reporting could mean for its future. From there, they react to Drake's Strong Women, Stronger Drinks event, where the ICEMAN reportedly gave away $2 million in cash prizes, cars, luxury bags, and more to entrepreneur-focused women across Toronto. Next, the hosts discuss Tory Lanez's new album outperforming Rick Ross's latest release before debating artist relevance today, with names like Nas and Big Sean entering the conversation. DJXP then introduces one of the week's biggest music stories after a Billboard-charting record by Fenix Flexin was revealed to have been created in an unexpected artificial way, leading to a discussion about where the music industry may be headed next. The conversation continues with Trinidad James, Desiigner, and the careers of artists who exploded overnight, before shifting into one of the episode's biggest discussions. Using the Summer House saga as a jumping-off point, the hosts debate a universal question: What's more important an apology or an explanation? DJXP argues he's grown beyond needing the "why" after betrayal or rejection, while Trivelle and EverythingOShauN believe understanding someone's reasons matters more than the apology itself. The episode wraps up with quick thoughts on The Odyssey and the latest Spider-Man film. You Might Wanna Sit Down 4 This.

Why do so many strong, accomplished women still struggle to speak up — in relationships, at work, and in leadership? In this episode of Inner Voice – A Heartfelt Chat with Dr. Foojan, Dr. Foojan Zeine sits down with renowned couples therapist, psychotherapist, and author Tonya Lester, author of “Push Back: Live, Love, and Work with Others Without Losing Yourself,” to unpack why women so often silence themselves despite being raised to be independent, confident, and capable. Tonya shares how women frequently become emotional “shock absorbers” in relationships — softening their needs, avoiding conflict, and shrinking their voice to keep the peace. Together, she and Dr. Foojan explore the hidden patterns that lead to resentment and disconnection, why healthy conflict is essential for real intimacy, and how emotional maturity changes the way we communicate — at home and in the workplace.

The Heart of a Godly Father: Strong Women, Strong Men, and the Mandate of a Godly Father "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." — Joshua 24:15 Being a father is not merely about financial provision or natural discipline—it is about priestly authority. When a father kneels in prayer, the spiritual climate of the home realigns. Satan hates godly fathers because when a man takes his place at the altar, it cuts off the enemy's access to the children and grandchildren. Fathers, your family shouldn't just see you working hard in the natural; they must see you wielding weapons of spiritual warfare in the secret place! The kingdom of darkness has spent decades attempting to emasculate, isolate, and neutralize men within the church culture, turning them into passive spectators who let women carry the entire spiritual weight of the house. It is time for the men to stand up, shake off the spirit of apathy, and take the front lines of the battleground. A strong man does not rule his house with an iron fist of fleshly control; he leads through the humility, sacrifice, and uncompromised boldness of Jesus Christ. He knows how to speak directly to the mountains in his life, command sickness to leave his children, and issue legal decrees in the spirit realm that shatter generational curses once and for all. #ApostleCathyCoppola #GodlyFathers #StrongMenStrongWomen #KingdomAuthority #HouseOfGlory #MightyWindTV #SpiritualGatekeepers #PriestlyAnointing #Fatherhood #GenerationalLegacy #SpiritualWarfare #ApostolicMen

We celebrate strong women until they need support.  In this episode of The Soul Aligned Podcast, Andrea explores the hidden cost of being the capable one — the leader, coach, entrepreneur, caregiver, or woman who has learned to carry everything on her own. While strength is often praised and rewarded, many women discover they the very identity that once helped them succeed can eventually create a feeling of separation, exhaustion, and resistance to receiving support.  Through the lens of nervous system regulation, identity, Human Design and her own personal experience, Andrea shares why receiving support is not a weakness but a capactiy that must be cultivated. This conversatoin invites you to explore where you may be overfunctioning, self-abandoning, or unconsciously equating your worth with how much you can hold.  If you've ever struggled to ask for help, felt safer being the one in control, or found yourself carrying more than you need to, this episode offers a compassionate invitation to soften, receive, and remember that you were never meant to do it alone.  In This Episode We Explore: Why strong, capable women often struggle to receive support How nervous system safety impacts your ability to ask for help How Human Design and the G Centre can influence your relationship with support "We celebrate strong women until they try to receive." Andrea Crisp Soul Reflection:  Take a moment to reflect: Where am I holding more than I need to right now?  What would shift if you allowed yourself to be supported not because you've earned it, but because you're human? Your strength does not disappear when you receive help. In many ways it becomes more sustainable, more embodied, more aligned with who you truly are.  Ready For Deeper Support? If this episode resonated with you, perhaps you've been carrying more than you need to on your own. So many women have learned to be the strong one, the capable one, the one everyone relies on, while quietly holding so much beneath the surface. One-on-one coaching offers a space where you don't have to have it all together. A space to be supported, to be honest about what's really going on, and to explore what becomes possible when you're no longer trying to figure everything out by yourself. If that feels like something you're craving right now, I'd love to connect. Let's start with a connection call.  Connection Call -> Align Coaching About Andrea: Andrea Crisp is a certified coach, author, and guide supporting intuitive women in reconnecting with their inner knowing so they can live, lead and create from a place of deep alignment.

Send us Fan MailHave you ever looked around at your life and thought, "Nothing is technically wrong... so why do I feel so disconnected from it?"That is exactly what we're diving into this week with speaker, coach, and author Iona Holloway.Iona's new book, Do the Brave Thing, starts with a question that hit me right between the eyes: What happens when you've done everything right, collected all the gold stars, built the life that looks impressive on paper... and still feel dead inside?In this conversation, Iona shares the rock bottom moment that forced her to confront a life built on perfectionism, achievement, and invisible suffering. We talk about the pressure so many women carry to be strong, capable, and endlessly high-functioning, and why those qualities can sometimes become the very thing keeping us stuck.One of my favorite parts of our conversation was Iona's distinction between being strong and being brave. Strength can look like gritting your teeth and carrying more than you should. Bravery asks something different. It asks you to listen to yourself, tell the truth about what you want, and tolerate the discomfort that comes with change.We also explored how fear disguises itself as practicality, perfectionism, procrastination, and even the stories we tell ourselves about why we're the exception. The woman who can't. The one for whom it's harder. The one who should wait until she's ready.Spoiler alert: ready is not coming.Iona shared her powerful "5 and 95 Rule," the idea that a brave life is one that makes five-year-old you happy and ninety-five-year-old you proud. It is simple, memorable, and honestly one of those ideas that lingers long after the conversation ends.If you've been quietly wondering whether there's more available to you than simply being impressive, this episode is your reminder that feeling alive matters too.What's Inside:Why being impressive and feeling alive are not the same thingThe difference between being strong and being braveHow fear hides inside perfectionism, procrastination, and practicalityIona's "5 and 95 Rule" for making braver decisionsThe thing I keep coming back to from this conversation is that bravery rarely looks cool.

Kathryn was born in the Himalayas. However, both her parents were English and had the same desire of "going out to India, spreading the Gospel message and serving the poor," explains my guest. Living in Vienna as a young girl, Kathryn remembers her parents taking in refugees who were seeking political asylum and it was normal to have refugees sleeping on their floor regularly. These memories had a profound effect on Kathryn and she was certain that this is how her interests in helping the less fortunate  came to be.  Kathryn shares that her mother was not warm and fuzzy but she was from the generation of tough and strong women. Kathryn always felt very loved. Ruby was a teacher and taught her daughter and other children from the Embassy. Ruby was determined that Kathryn would not be spoiled. Kathryn was soon sent to boarding school because her parents were working and traveling regularly. "A little pencil in God's hand" is how Mother Teresa would refer to herself. She never wanted credit  or accolades for her work. "She could be a tough cookie," Spink reflects however, "she was difficult to deal with sometimes, because God was so definitely on her side and that could make things tough. Mother Teresa was so determined, nothing could get in her way." "Poverty saddened Mother Teresa the most according to Kathryn,  "I don't think it angered her not in relation to God. Waste most likely angered her the most but never with God." Mother Teresa was always seeing the presence of God in the poor and it helped her persevere.  "Tolerance was deeply ingrained in Mother Theresa" explains Ms. Spink. "Mother Teresa believed that God was at work in every soul, so it wasn't up to her to try and convince others of the 'correct/best religion." My guest remarks "Mother Teresa used to say "come to Calcutta and I'll put you to work".  This is what this demure but mighty  woman believed with her whole body, mind and spirit. Kathryn even shared stories of the similarities between Mother Teresa, whose birth name was Agnes, and her mother Drana. "The family that prays together, stays together" was one of Drana's favorite expressions according to Spink. Caring for the sick was a common thread for the two woman.  "It's not always about the physical suffering, but the whole process of being abandoned by people" was one of the toughest things for Mother Teresa to comes to terms with, comments Spink. Mother Teresa founded the order, "The Missionaries of Charities." She wanted to give shelter to  abandoned babies and to help the poorest of the poor. In 1979 she received the Nobel Peace Prize and after her death was canonized as Saint Teresa.  I could have listened for hours to my guest share her stories of all of these selfless women. Mother Teresa was known as 'Mother' because when a nun/sister is appointed to a superior position within  the church, they are known as 'Mother.' INFORMATION: Kathryn Spink is the author of several books on the work of Mother Teresa and her coworkers, as well as other inspiring contemporary figures, including Brother Roger of Taize, Beede Griffiths, Dominique LaPierre, Prince Charles' and Lady Diana Spencer and more.  My guest is also the chronicler of the “South African Women's Human Rights Organization.”  https://www.kathrynspink.com/ https://www.harpercollins.com/blogs/authors/kathryn-spink-20167212026170   "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.

In this episode of the Revitalize Womanhood Podcast – To the Core, I dive into the invisible load so many women carry every day—the emotional, mental, and physical weight of trying to be everything for everyone while silently struggling themselves. I share my personal experience with postpartum depression and how admitting I needed support became a turning point in my healing journey. Together, we'll challenge the myth that strength means doing it all alone and explore why vulnerability, connection, and community are essential for living a healthy, fulfilled life. If you've been feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or isolated, this conversation will remind you that you were never meant to carry life's burdens on your own. You'll discover how community can help reduce stress, restore confidence, and create space for healing, along with practical ways to build meaningful connections and ask for support. This episode is an invitation to stop merely surviving and start thriving through the power of authentic relationships and sisterhood.

Most women in leadership got there by working twice as hard as the men around them. And it's quietly destroying their health.In this conversation, Dr. Mira Brancu sits down with executive coach Duygu Alpteka Gursu, who spent nearly three decades climbing the corporate ladder at companies like Coca-Cola and Unilever before her body finally forced her to stop. Duygu shares the moment she realized the rules of leadership were never written for her, including the day a male colleague with less experience got promoted two grades above her immediately after returning from nine months of military service.She and Mira walk through the three career moments where most women either lean in or quietly check out. They get into the messy stuff nobody talks about at the office, like burnout recovery, motherhood penalties, and the menopause years that hit right when women are at the peak of their careers. If you've ever felt like you have to choose between your career and your well-being, this one is for you.Subscribe for weekly conversations on leadership, burnout, and women's leadership in the real world.Find our guest here:https://www.linkedin.com/in/duygualptekingursuhttps://www.instagram.com/duygualptekingursu/ IF YOU ENJOYED THIS EPISODE, CAN I ASK A FAVOR?We do not receive any funding or sponsorship for this podcast.

Leadership is a gift, but it can also be exhausting.    Many Christian women today are carrying a heavy load: leading at work, serving in ministry, managing a home, discipling their children, nurturing a marriage, and striving to remain faithful in their own walk with the Lord. And while the calling is beautiful, the fatigue can be very real.  In this encouraging episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, Melissa Bearden sits down with author and mentor Ann E. Thompson to talk about what happens when faith meets fatigue. Together, they explore how women can lead with resilience instead of resentment, serve with humility instead of hustle, and discern God's guidance without succumbing to cultural pressure or burnout.    You'll hear practical wisdom for recognizing early signs of burnout, cultivating sustainable spiritual rhythms, and modeling servant-hearted leadership for the girls who are watching. Because our daughters are learning not only from what we say—but from how we live. As we steward our callings faithfully and rest in Christ deeply, we teach them that leadership is not about performance, but obedience.    If you are a working mom, ministry leader, or woman feeling stretched thin between competing responsibilities, this episode will remind you that God never calls His daughters to run on empty. He calls us to abide, to trust, and to lead from a place of strength rooted in Him.      Scriptures Referenced in This Episode:    Matthew 11:28–30  Mark 10:42–45  Galatians 6:9  James 1:5  Colossians 3:23–24      To learn more about Ann's work, her podcast, and her new book, visit anneileenthompson.com    Visit raisinggodlygirls.com for more encouragement and faith-based parenting tools.          Learn how to find or start an American Heritage Girls Troop in your community at americanheritagegirls.org.

This week, I'm back with Alanna Kaivalya, PhD, author of The Way of the Satisfied Woman and expert on mythology, feminine psychology, and spiritual empowerment. This is part two of our conversation, and it might be even better than the first. We picked up right where we left off, and Alanna came with receipts. She goes deep on the practical, embodied, sometimes uncomfortable work of actually stopping the self-abandonment cycle. Not just recognizing it, but interrupting it in real time. We talked about what it means to reclaim your energy from the people and systems that have been draining it, what happens in your relationships when you start saying no, and why so many of us are still waiting for permission we were never going to get. (Link to our first conversation is in the show notes.) What you'll hear about in this episode: The one practice Alanna teaches every woman first: tuning into your body's “sacred no” and how to use it as a real-time pattern interrupt before you abandon yourself again Why stopping your over-functioning will feel messy at first, and why that mess is the point, including the laundry that will pile up and why you should let it The feminine guilt trap: why women feel guilty not for what we've done, but for what someone else might feel, and how to tell the difference between genuine wrongdoing and simply inconveniencing people Why Alanna believes the “let them” philosophy is being used against us, and why she wants to make accountability sexy again instead What Alanna's own past relationship revealed about the danger of “masculine armor,” and what happens when a capable woman attracts a partner who uses her strength as permission to stop showing up Last, a reminder to follow me on Substack if you want to get my longer form writing I've been doing lately. I'll be writing to unpack some pretty big topics, and would love to interact with listeners of the podcast over there

Happy Mother's Day to all of the incredible mothers out there. Today's episode is a deeper conversation about the urgent need for stronger, more biblical men and women in our culture, people willing to stand for truth, protect the vulnerable, and refuse to stay silent in the face of evil.We discuss the ongoing outrage surrounding the Epstein files, the lack of accountability for powerful people, and the broader cultural failure to protect victims from wicked and predatory individuals. But this conversation goes beyond headlines. It's about morality, courage, justice, faith, and what happens when societies stop valuing strong families, strong character, and biblical principles.This episode is ultimately about hope too, because evil does not win forever. Real justice matters, truth matters, and good people still have a responsibility to speak up.

Pastor Paul Irminger. Listen in as we celebrate Mother's Day with a powerful message about the strength of women and the impact they have on every part of life. We'll look at how God uses women to lead, take bold steps, and stay faithful in the moments that matter most.

“I cry a lot but I am so productive, it's an art.” This week, we're doing a deep dive on “I Can Do It with a Broken Heart” (The Tortured Poets Department, 2024, Track 13), written by Taylor Swift and Jack Antonoff. A continuation of our Strong Women series, this episode goes line by line through one of Taylor's most devastatingly relatable songs. We explore the rhetorical triangle of the I, the you, and the they; the “performative perkiness” of the chorus; why the poetry meter literally snaps to the beat of a performance; the crucial evidence hiding in drawers; and how dark humor becomes a coping mechanism. Whether you're a Type A eldest daughter, a new mom, or anyone who has ever had to show up for work when their heart was broken, this one hits.

"Never be so kind, you forget to be clever; Never be so clever, you forget to be kind." We're celebrating Women's History Month the only way we know how: looking at strong women in Taylor Swift's music. Jenn traces the wisdom and boldness Taylor inherited from her grandmother in "Marjorie" (evermore, 2020), Jodi unpacks the resilience hiding in plain sight throughout "I Can Do It with a Broken Heart" (The Tortured Poets Department, 2024), and Maansi makes the case that "Eldest Daughter" (The Life of a Showgirl, 2025) is basically the anthem of every firstborn girl who had to figure it out before anyone else did. Plus: why the Iceland women's strike of 1975 worked, and why Taylor Swift might be the only person capable of organizing a global one.

Eliza R. Snow is perhaps the woman in our Relief Society history who we hear the most about, and for good reason. She was a writer, organizer, temple worker, and advocate for women. She was an accomplished teacher and encouraged fellow sisters to overcome fears of public speaking and to minister to each other and their communities. She was a force for good whose influence extends to us today. During this month where we celebrate the birthday of the Relief Society, we're learning how we can continue her legacy by standing for truth with bold faith, encouraging one another through our words and actions, and ministering and teaching as the Savior would.  Today's guest, Jenny Reeder, works for the Church History Department on historic sites. She has a PhD in American history from George Mason University and a Masters degree in editing documents. She's also a writer, and wrote First: The Life and Faith of Emma Smith and was head historian and editor of At the Pulpit: 185 Years of Discourses by Latter-day Saint Women. Most recently, she was head historian and editor of Rise Up and Speak: Selected Discourses of Eliza R. Snow. Notes: Local to Salt Lake City? Hear more from Jenny Reeder at this special event. Wednesday, March 18, at the downtown Salt Lake Deseret Book store, gather with historians from the Church History Department to discuss the bold teachings of Eliza R. Snow captured in the new book, Rise Up and Speak. Discover how this inspiring 19th-century leader helped found the Relief Society, Young Women, and Primary organizations—and learn why her call for Church members to speak up still resonates today.

Identity is louder than ever — yet steadiness feels rare.In Episode 157 of the Slay Podcast, Olympian and CEO Louise Hazel explores why the world needs strong women right now. This conversation moves beyond fitness into leadership, embodiment, emotional regulation, and the clean use of power.When identity lives in performance, it requires constant reinforcement. When it lives in the body, it shows up in behavior. Strength anchors values in action. It creates safety through consistency. It changes how power is expressed inside families, teams, relationships, and communities.This episode explores:• Performative identity vs. embodied identity• How strength creates emotional safety• The difference between power and strength• Why restraint is rare — and powerful• How strength training builds steadiness under pressure • Why strong women matter more than everStrength is not dominance. It is the ability to hold weight without creating chaos.If you're building physical strength, emotional resilience, or grounded leadership — this episode is for you.

Dr. Judith explores why many women who hold everything together struggle to receive help, comfort, attention, and care, often saying “I'm fine” when receiving feels unsafe. Building on the prior episode about overgiving, she frames receiving as “soul maturity” and a spiritual stewardship practice that restores balance, because love is meant to flow in both directions—giving and receiving. She contrasts human love mixed with fear (giving to feel safe and receiving with obligation or debt) with divine love, which can simply receive with trust and without bargaining. Through stories of Erica and Naomi, she shows how refusing support can create fatigue, resentment, and loneliness, and how small steps—pausing, breathing, saying “thank you,” and not apologizing—can retrain the heart to hold love without panic. She describes a “guard dog” at the heart's doorway shaped by past disappointments and emphasizes retraining it through discernment between manipulation and true care. The episode offers a four-level “receiving ladder” (compliments, small help, emotional support, and love without earning it) and explains why balanced giving and receiving is essential for heart growth, harmony, and living the Christ nature through love with no strings attached.00:00 Why I'm Fine Hurts01:46 Giving Needs Receiving04:29 Leaky Cup To Well07:46 Human Versus Divine Love10:54 Erica Learns Trust16:24 Practice Saying Thank You19:08 Naomi And Mutual Care23:03 Retrain The Guard Dog25:25 Receiving Ladder Levels28:42 Soul Growth And Balance30:30 Closing Reflection

Send a textIn this meaningful episode of It's Hertime, Cody Sanders sits down with Aubin Palmer—registered nurse turned author, mother of three daughters, and creator of the Power Women movement—for an honest conversation about what happens when strong, capable women start to feel quietly disconnected from themselves.Aubin shares her journey from working as an RN caring for women in vulnerable seasons to feeling the persistent inner nudge that there was more she was meant to create. That calling ultimately led to the creation of Power Women, a collaborative book featuring the lived experiences of more than 50 women whose stories remind readers that power doesn't always look loud, polished, or linear.Together, Cody and Aubin explore the emotional and identity shifts many women face—especially during motherhood, burnout, hormonal transitions, and major life pivots—and why so many high-capacity women find themselves feeling stretched thin or disconnected despite doing everything “right.”They also discuss the powerful themes that emerged from compiling women's stories, why storytelling can be deeply healing for the nervous system, and how the Power Women movement is giving forward by placing books into the hands of women navigating particularly tender seasons, including postpartum mothers.This episode is a supportive listen for any woman who has been the helper, the caretaker, or the one holding everything together—and is ready to come back home to herself.In this episode, listeners will learn:•Aubin Palmer's transition from registered nurse to movement builder•Why strong women often experience seasons of disconnection•The most common themes that emerged from 50+ women's stories•What power really looks like in quiet or difficult seasons•How storytelling supports emotional and nervous system healing•Who the Power Women book is especially meant to support•How the book is being donated to women in challenging circumstances•One small step women can take this week to reconnect with themselvesThis episode is especially for women who:•Feel torn between caring for others and caring for themselves•Are navigating postpartum, burnout, or identity shifts•Have been told they're “doing great” but don't feel like themselves•Are craving reconnection, clarity, and emotional steadiness•Want to feel seen and understood in this season of life⸻Resources & LinksConnect with Aubin Palmer:WebsiteInstagramPower Women Book⸻Work with CodyWomen ready for deeper, personalized support can learn more about Cody's CALM Body Reset, a functional, root-cause approach designed to help women 40+ move from exhausted and inflamed to calm, energized, and clear through labs, nervous system support, and metabolic healing.DM "CALM" to learn more about the CALM program: Did you learn something new today?

Why do decisions feel so heavy for so many women?In this episode of the Slay Podcast, Louise Hazel breaks down a truth most women have never been taught: decision-making doesn't feel hard because you're indecisive — it feels hard because you've been deciding from strain instead of strength.When confidence stabilizes and emotional steadiness grows, something powerful happens. Decisions feel clearer. Less loaded. Less exhausting.In Episode 154, you'll learn:Why every decision is a vote for the woman you're becomingHow strength simplifies decision-making by stabilizing identityWhy overwhelmed systems seek permission — and how capacity changes thatA simple lens to tell whether a choice strengthens you or drains youThe Strong Woman Decision Matrix™ — a tool for organizing alignment, not forcing outcomesWhy aligned decisions quietly shape destiny over timeThis episode reframes decisions as one of the most powerful expressions of strength — not because they're dramatic, but because they're cumulative.

Why do so many women feel emotionally overwhelmed — even when they're doing “everything right”?In this episode of the Slay Podcast, Louise Hazel breaks down a truth most women have never been taught: emotional instability is rarely a mindset problem. It's a physiology and capacity problem.You're not too emotional. You're not unstable. And you're not broken.Emotions are biological signals — messages from the nervous system about load, safety, and capacity.
