In today's episode, we explore a powerful lightbulb moment from inside the Next Chapter program—one that's helping women actually enjoy the mindful drinking experiment and finally feel real momentum. This is for you if you've meant to try mindful drinking but skipped it, overdid it, or didn't enjoy the process. That's not a failure—it's a sign you were missing one critical piece: community support. The breakthrough? Practicing moderation in real time, with real people. Learning how to feel a buzz without slipping into old habits. Releasing perfectionism. And realizing this is about connection, not control. Key Takeaways: ✨ You can't rewire a drinking habit by yourself Habits form in context—and need to be unlearned in context too. ✨ Mindful drinking is about presence, not perfection When the goal is connection, the whole thing becomes lighter and more doable. ✨ There is a therapeutic dose of alcohol—but you have to feel it Alcohol is biphasic: small amounts relax and uplift, but more than that backfires. Finding your line is everything. ✨ You're not failing—you're under-supported If you've tried and didn't follow through, it's not a personal flaw. You just needed more scaffolding.
Hey my loves, thank you for being here! One of the things I have committed to lately is sharing my current experience. This past month has been so healing and pivotal for me; and I know my experience will remind you that you're not alone. Deep waves and are necessary to “cleanse” you.. to rinse off what is no longer aligned or true for you. So my invitation is: how can you see God at work in your current experience? How can you see your life being orchestrated by the Divine? When you want to experience a deeper experience; to see and know the truth; to live an abundant life, you will be shown everything that doesn't offer you that. That is the space between. Let it show you another way.
Thank you for being here! As we get ready to “officially” re-launch the podcast, we're doing things different here. There will be random episodes on car rides, in the store, on a hike, in a coffee shop, in the living or or in a studio. One of the things that has been so powerful for me (Brittany) is openly sharing my current experience and knowing it's not meant to be or look perfect. This invitation is also an invitation for you to show up as you — in your current experience — exactly as you are knowing it's enough.. knowing it's safe. So excited for this episode and the ones that follow! Love you and thank you for being here. *** in this episode, I'm in the car sharing my current experience around avoidance *** let's get curious. :) SUBMIT A QUESTION: https://forms.monday.com/forms/b142d08c12e3ee1a3d6134a6df42ce7f?r=use1 --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/brittany-mondido/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/brittany-mondido/support

We are thrown into an existing system and put into a slot. Family systems dictate how you are expected to act, appear in public and how you are supposed to handle actions and emotions from everyone within your inner circle. The pressure to act accordingly and do only what will get you positive attention becomes a burden you can only carry for so long. Eventually, the byproduct of all this shame, whether from someone else or your own self, as you feel you can't live up to the standard set for you in this unhealthy system. What do you do to lose the feeling of worrying about what everyone wants, thinks, or expects from you? Learn what Joe had to do to teach himself to be ok with being able to survive and being seen in ways that weren't acceptable by his family system and move past all the guilt and shame he felt as a child for wanting things outside his place in the system. In this Episode: Learn to live a life outside of the role your family has set for you to live the life you want…one free of shame. Getting in touch with our anger and emotions Live within your own body…your own self.. without anxiety and fear. Learn that you weren't put on this earth to fill the holes of parents who can't fill them in their own lives. Integrate the parts of yourself in your new life that your family won't let you have Build a relationship with yourself…Love is an Inside Job! Learn to dismantle your family system's role to live and deal with the uncomfortable feelings of judgment and shame from your family system! Feel the relief and freedom that comes from releasing the bonds that have been placed on you by your family!
In this short clip (during a car ride), you'll be invited and walked through how to embody a new way of being. This is an invitation for you on this beautiful New Moon in Cancer to remember your choice in it all. Love you.

It is also the most difficult! In this episode, Joe talks about the abuse he experienced as a child and how he has dealt with it for many years by disassociating it with denial and by packing it away in this little dark place to be dealt at another time. Decades later (between the original pain and the fear that he continues to live), Joe shares in detail how he needed to work his way back to those places, the origins of his pain, and the abuse, hurt, and fear he has to connect the dots to determine how he got to the place he's at today… and how he is now forced to confront and correct the issues to be able to move forward. In this Episode: Pinpointing where all these feelings and behaviors are coming from and how to get back in touch with them. Realizing you can't always stay one step ahead of your pain…they will catch up to you if you don't learn to work on going back to their origins and reliving them to produce a better outcome. Learn to “feel” your way through things to free yourself from your pain. Elvis has left the building… checking out physically and emotionally. Going “Toe to Toe” with your fears Putting in the work to go inside yourself can be frightening, but it will be your path to freedom and peace. Become stronger than your fears! Let joy take over by moving fear out of the way. No longer live in denial and live your truth. Find someone who can help you get to that place…time is ticking away, and it's time to lean into your fears…Joy is waiting to take over your life!

He reveals that It begins with “being seen” and allowing someone you trust to help you move through the phases of an emotional child to a healthy, emotionally balanced adult. Acknowledging you can't do all of this alone is the first step and a perfectly acceptable way of attacking the issues head on. In this Episode: Having to admit that you need help from others, along with putting in the work needed to find the right “caregiver,” is key Learning to get out of your own way is a key step in the right direction. Work on Being “Seen” and find positive “Mirroring” (the kind you didn't get as a child) Experiencing the freedom that comes from being “Unstuck.” Having the peace of mind of knowing you are not going through this alone or that these issues and feelings are unique to you Realizing Fear, Trauma, Anxiety, Panic & Shame doesn't go away by itself. Even with help, you have to keep putting in the work to move past these feelings. Acknowledging that you are a strong person based on the mere fact that you have carried this pain inside you for as long as you can remember is powerful in your progress. It will help you to become brave and courageous to help you become humble and ok to accept help from someone qualified to help. There is no shame in asking for help…humble yourself and open up to somebody who genuinely cares for your well-being. You are going to have to trust someone at some point, even though you have that fear of being burned in the past by someone you feel has betrayed you. The choice to get help is yours…make the right choice!

Even though these events involved different people, we still have this knee jerk reaction to the new and innocent person we are attempting to form a new relationship with. How do we handle these broken and damaged emotions when trying to build a new relationship with someone who may not understand the trauma we have endured? In this episode, Joe talks about the importance of navigating through the process of allowing yourself to grow relationships instead of cutting them off at the knees once they start to really get rolling. Being in a romantic relationship feels vastly different from being alone, as you are now connected to somebody else. Your reactions are being closely monitored by someone who may not have the same past/path traveled. Everyone has pain points and things that cause us to react differently to what others may think are trivial, but because of our different pasts, these reactions tend to uncover pain points that aren't the same for each person. How do we navigate these waters to live the life we want? What should we expect from others to help us heal? This episode helps clear up some of these questions and may change your perspective going forward. In this Episode: Putting in the time and effort to learn that it can be ok to be vulnerable with the right person Being in touch with your past to learn what your triggers are and where they came from in order to work through them Moving past the walls you have created for yourself through the “filters of the lens of your past.” Not turning into the type of person or parent who messed us up initially. Holes in our soul….hoping another person can heal them for us instead of us healing them ourselves Learning the limitations of others as we interact in an intimate relationship and learning when you need to go if that person can't give you what you deserve after you have done the work to make yourself whole and ready to be loved properly. This episode helps you discover what parts of your childhood and your overall life in general have caused you to react negatively, right or wrong. Find out what you lack in your life and what triggers you, and focus on the root source and how you can repair those feelings on your own. Don't expect relationships with others to solve any of this for you... It's all on you.

You might not know what or who you want to be, but you know you are unhappy with the person you have become because of many things, including Shame. In this episode, Joe goes deep into the topic of shame…and how everyone he counsels lives with it, regardless of nationality, belief system, politics, religion, sexuality, etc. Joe discusses how shame lives in the darkness, creates isolation, and doesn't want to be seen. Follow the steps outlined in this episode to uncover your shame, bring it into the light, and eventually eliminate it. In this Episode: Learn to live a life outside of the role your family has set for you to live the life you want…one free of shame. Stop conforming and show up for yourself, not others. Take care of yourself, set boundaries, and learn to say no. Break yourself from any feelings or thoughts that make you think you need to confer with others before you do anything significant. Learn to become strong enough to make your own choices and free of always feeling like you must ask for permission. Be prepared to lose people in your life once you make these changes and start to live the life you want for yourself. If people are guilting and shaming you into being something that you're not to please them, they need you more than you need them! Learn to be there for yourself, first and foremost. Remember, nobody will change for you or teach you to love yourself. Shame has, can, and will manipulate actions. Having the strength to identify how not to allow it to take you down the road you no longer want to travel takes time, inner strength, and… lots of work. - Website: https://joeryan.com - Instagram: https://instagram.com/joeryan - Subscribe: https://joeryan.com/subscribe/ - Coaching: https://joeryan.com/coaching/ - Submit A Question https://joeryan.com/ask/ --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/joeryan/message

How do we learn to grieve loss, innocence, self-respect, and pride…all while learning to empower ourselves to live our daily lives?

Subscribe To All Episodes https://joeryan.com/subscribe/ Submit A Question https://joeryan.com/ask/ In this episode, Joe discusses the origin and development of one's “false self.” Joe's take is that this starts at a very early age (about 24 months), a “psychological birth” time when a child realizes they are not one with their parents or caregivers. At this point, they try to start separating themselves to find their own identity. This episode includes bold statements regarding subjects like supporting young children and their feelings of not wanting to share their toys, sitting in timeouts that eventually associate feeling sitting alone equals feeling shameful, making your own decisions against your family's wishes, etc. vs. feeling that you are being supported in your position. Joe states that this is the earliest stages of creating boundaries within your family to help you survive in the real world under your own rules as opposed to doing what is expected of you, regardless of how you really feel. in this Episode: Throwing temper tantrums to try and separate from your parents – the conundrum of parents and other adults seeing you as unruly vs. your first experiences in becoming independent and learning to become their own person (and parents' first experiences in trying to mold you) Learning self-identity while your parents impose their ways on you and try to keep you in a box of family rules and bind you to them Forming our false self out of fear, staying in good graces, and avoiding rejection Becoming “what your parents need you to be” vs. doing what you feel is right in learning to become more confident and secure in your own self. Learning to break the chains of your past from how your parents made you become emotionally dependent on them to keep them tied to them for the rest of your life to fill holes in their life, making you a slave to their self-worth and desires Learning how to dismantle the false self by going against the family system that isn't your beliefs and start to set your own boundaries Looking for positive mirroring faces to help us not feel bad about ourselves and justify our feelings and decisions Learning that being alone shouldn't feel shameful This episode provides strong insight into how you can develop your own independence and feelings of validity in learning to trust your instincts and decisions.

In this episode, I'm joined by Vicky Cook. Vicky Cook is a certified transition coach who helps high-achieving women find more purpose, connection, and adventure outside of the corporate walls. She specializes in helping women who are transitioning through their late 30s and 40s awaken to the woman they're craving to be. I “officially” met Vicky two summers ago in a branding course. It just so happened that we were both going through training programs and getting ready to launch our respective coaching practices. Previously, we both had personal blogs that we were transitioning from and ironically, I was a reader of Vicky's personal blog! We quickly hit it off and have since gone from online friends to real-life friends! The work that we do compliment each others so nicely so I asked Vicky to come on the show, specifically for a chat about a blog post she wrote over a year ago that really struck a chord with me. It's a blog post titled, “Taking the BS Out of Time Management.” One of the biggest things I hear from people is that “I don't have time.” ...I don't have time to grocery shop. ...I don't have time to make a home-cooked meal. ...I don't have time to exercise. ...I don't have time for self-care. Now if you're like me, and somewhat of a productivity-nerd, you may always be in search of the best planner, the best app, or the best process to help you find the time. But as Vicky says, “I hate to burst your bubble but here's the no-BS reality about time management that no one wants to hear… ...it's not about your calendar or the clock. ...there are no magical tips and tricks....there isn't a secret system or a perfect planner that will answer all of your I-don't-have-enough-time prayers. The cold hard truth is that you don't need to learn how to better manage your time...you need to learn how to set priorities, drop the excuses, and get real with yourself on what you truly want.” And this is what we chat about in this episode.
