Episode 136 of Medium Lady Talks is a refreshingly honest and hilariously real conversation with my two best friends, Sarah and Emily. We share a candid conversation about taking medication for mental health. One of us is a routine queen when it comes to her meds, one of us is a little chaotic (but loveable!), and I've taken mental health medication during two meaningful chapters of my life. Together, we open up about what it really looks like to take care of yourself with the help of medication. Whether you're currently on meds, have been in the past, or are considering talking to your doctor—this episode is for you. We talk about how we got started, what keeps us going (or doesn't), finding the right therapist and therapy modality, and why meds are a support system, not a shortcut. We also keep it light, with a healthy dose of friend banter and real-life encouragement. This episode is part of our “How to Take Care of Yourself” series—because self-care isn't all bubble baths and meditation apps. Sometimes, it's filling your prescription and taking your meds.

To complement our recent blog post – From love at first sight to a focus on in-home care – about our love story getting featured by the IMPART Alliance at Michigan State University, here is an encore post of one of our top-performing podcasts that gives insights into our lives as each other's caregiver. Enjoy! There's more to our relationship than 18 years of marriage and each of us living with Multiple Sclerosis. We also are in a caregiving relationship. Jennifer is my primary caregiver, and I am hers. We were so humbled and honored that Healthline Media connected with us and included our caregiving story in its three-part Taking Care video series. Join us for this episode of A Couple Takes on MS Podcast as we discuss what the experience was like to have film crews from NYC and Detroit arrive at our home in Michigan to capture our day-to-day realities and explore why caregiving is the story that must be told. All in all, being a family caregiver is a double-edged sword that can be both a blessing and a burden, and we went into our marriage knowing what we were facing. Or did we? There is so much to being a caregiver. And we are not alone in this experience. According to estimates from the National Alliance for Caregiving, during the past year, 65.7 million Americans (or 29% of the adult U.S. adult population involving 31% of all U.S. households) served as family caregivers for an ill or disabled relative. Reports also indicated that 24.4% of adults aged 45 to 64 years are caregivers compared to 18.8% of adults aged 65 years and older. One in four (25.4%) women are caregivers compared to one in five (18.9%) men. Here are the links we referenced for you to follow up on: • Healthline presents Taking Care – Healthline's three-part series that includes stories about caregiving relationships within the Alzheimer's, breast cancer and the MS (that's us!) communities. • caregiving.com – Comprehensive online caregiving resource for which Dan serves as a Caregiving Champion. • 14 resources for family caregivers to make managing it all less stressful – Insightful article posted on care.com.

In this snack-sized episode, I share three concepts to help parents navigate the stormy waters of having a teen or young adult child who struggles with substance misuse and mental health issues. I emphasize the importance of self-care and separation from external chaos to maintain emotional stability and effectively support (and not drive crazy) those closest to you. I share three key points: visualizing personal boundaries to keep chaos out, understanding that every storm will eventually pass, and recognizing the harm caused by neglecting self-care. There's even a little bit of woo-woo included for those willing to experiment.Some practical tips and a personal story underscore the necessity of prioritizing your well-being for the benefit of your entire family.00:00 Introduction: Weathering the Storm00:39 Welcome to Hope Stream02:14 Taking Care of Yourself03:07 Maintaining Your Vessel's Integrity06:38 Every Storm Runs Out of Rain14:44 The Greatest Harm: Not Taking Care of Yourself17:52 Conclusion and ResourcesThis podcast is part of a nonprofit called Hopestream CommunityLearn about The Stream, our private online community for momsFind us on Instagram hereFind us on YouTube hereDownload a free e-book, Worried Sick: A Compassionate Guide For Parents When Your Teen or Young Adult Child Misuses Drugs and AlcoholHopestream Community is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and an Amazon Associate.

In episode 135 of Medium Lady Talks, Erin shares five meaningful ways to celebrate yourself as part of the ongoing "How to Take Care of Yourself" series. Inspired by her recent 42nd birthday, Erin makes the case that celebrating yourself isn't indulgent, it's necessary for sustained well-being. Episode Highlights: Celebrating yourself is a practice, skill, and mindset that contributes to your sustained well-being Why saying "it out loud" is the first step to genuine self-celebration How scheduling solo celebration time honours your finite time and personal worth The power of inviting others into your celebrations to amplify joy Why giving to others from a place of fullness creates positive ripples The importance of taking your time with celebrations instead of rushing through them Resources Mentioned: Gretchen Rubin: Author of "The Happiness Project" who explains how personal celebration is a cornerstone of sustainable happiness through habits and rituals Tamu Thomas: Author of "Women Who Work Too Much" who describes speaking our celebrations as a way to tap into everyday joy Oliver Burkeman: Author of “Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management For Mortals" who reminds us of the importance of deliberately allocating our finite time to joy Barbara Fredrickson: Pioneer in positive psychology whose "broaden-and-build theory" explains how shared joy amplifies positive emotions and builds resources Reflection Questions: What deserves to be named and celebrated in your life right now? How might regular self-celebration change your relationship with achievement? Which celebration style feels most comfortable or uncomfortable for you? How can you resist cultural conditioning by choosing joy over fear, perfectionism, or people-pleasing? Looking for more support?

Your spiritual health is as important if not more important than any other area of your life, in my opinion. Unfortunately, it's the one area that never gets as much attention when life is busy. Are you someone who struggles spending time in your spirituality? Do you leave it for last and by the end of the day you're too tired so it never gets done? Are you feeling like you're running on empty without hope that things will change in your life? This may be the reason that's happening. In today's episode we are talking about the importance of aligning your life with your spiritual beliefs and values. How you can achieve more, feel more fulfilled, lower your stress and have some peace in your life.    xoxo,    Jeannet    Work with Jeannet:   Apply for one on one private coaching: https://forms.gle/bwoTL8HCUDPmM1LY8 Get my FREE workbook to help you identify the skills you can monetize with an online business: https://www.jeannetsacks.com/monetizeskills Coaching Business Workshop: This Workshop is designed to take you from newbie to launching your own Online Coaching Business or restructure your current Coaching Program so it starts making you money.

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton dive into the impact of acts of service (Amazon Affiliate) in first responder relationships. When one partner works a high-stress, demanding job, small gestures of support can make a huge difference in reducing stress and fostering connection. Something as simple as packing their lunch or helping prep their uniform can ease their mental load and show that you have their back—even when the job is overwhelming. In this episode, we explore five simple yet powerful ways you can support your first responder spouse and why these small acts lead to a healthier, stronger relationship. 1. Why Acts of Service Matter in First Responder Marriages First responders often carry the weight of their jobs home with them, making stress management crucial for both partners. Small, thoughtful gestures can lessen decision fatigue, increase connection, and create a sense of teamwork in the relationship. 2. Five Simple Ways to Support Your First Responder Spouse 1. Packing Their Lunch or Meal Prepping for the Week Example: Preparing a healthy lunch or meal prepping ensures they have nutritious food instead of relying on fast food or skipping meals. Why It's Beneficial: Saves time and money during long shifts. Ensures they have energy to stay focused on the job. A small way to show love and care in a tangible way. 2. Prepping Their Uniform and Gear Example: Having their uniform ready, boots polished, and gear in order means they can start their shift stress-free. Why It's Beneficial: Reduces morning chaos and rushing before work. Helps them feel put together and confident. One less thing for them to worry about after a long shift. 3. Taking Care of Errands and Household Tasks Example: Handling grocery shopping, bills, or minor home repairs so they don't have to worry about it after an exhausting shift. Why It's Beneficial: Allows them to truly rest when they're home instead of feeling like they have another job waiting for them. Keeps the household running smoothly, reducing stress for both partners. 4. Creating a Quiet and Relaxing Home Environment Example: If they worked a night shift, ensuring the house stays quiet during their sleep hours. Why It's Beneficial: Helps maximize rest and recovery, which is crucial for performance on the job. Creates a peaceful retreat for them to decompress from work stress. 5. Offering Emotional Support Without Needing to "Fix" Everything Example: Simply listening when they vent instead of trying to give advice or solve their problems. Why It's Beneficial: Allows them to process emotions in a safe space. Strengthens trust and emotional connection in the relationship. Reinforces that they don't have to carry everything alone. 3. How Small Acts Create a Bigger Impact in Relationships These small gestures add up over time, creating a sense of partnership and support. A relationship built on mutual care and service is stronger and more resilient. 4. Why It's Not About Gender Roles—It's About Teamwork Acts of service aren't about traditional roles—they're about lightening the load for each other in whatever way works best for your relationship. 5. How to Incorporate These Habits Without Feeling Like a Burden Start small and simple—acts of service should be genuine, not forced. Ask your spouse what would help them the most. What seems small to you might be a huge relief for them. Why This Matters: Being in a relationship with a first responder means understanding the stress and demands of their job. By offering small but meaningful acts of service, you can ease their daily burdens, improve their well-being, and create a more connected, fulfilling relationship. Listen now to learn how these simple acts can transform your relationship!

Chris Robertson's story is one of being all in. His mother describes his personality as being able to go from zero to a hundred in nothing flat. As you listen, you'll see why. When he commits to something, good or bad, he goes full throttle. Perhaps that's why, at his last arrest, he went on a three-hour high-speed chase. His prison stint started at 18 and he found himself in and out of federal or state prison for nearly 20 years. During another federal prison term, he started to realize he was just living up to the system's expectations and that maybe there was something different. In 2018, that something started to kick in as he started studying the psychology of the human brain. And then several years later, while in prison, he enrolled in Captain Your Story inside USCF in Salt Lake City.  Now he finds himself feeling different, thinking different and acting different. Still living with his all-in personality, he is all in and living a healthy, productive life full of intention.  Sponsors & Partners Freedom Scholars Academy (FSM) My Story Matters / Captain Your Story - mystorymatters.org The Other Side Academy (TOSA) - theothersideacademy.com 00:00 - Chris Robertson 02:00 - Sponsors 03:07 - Young Life 05:20 - Parents Drug Use 07:15 - Started Selling Drugs at 16yo & Using Meth 09:10 - Federal Prison 12:55 - The High Speed Chase 15:50 - Back to Federal Prison 20:30 - Back Again 22:00 - Changing His Appearance & Taking Care of His Health 24:35 - Getting a GM Position at Buffalo Wild Wings 28:30 - Financial Crisis & Cocaine 30:50 - Back to Meth & The Spiral 43:20 - Getting Back In a Positive Direction 44:55 - Addressing His Emotional & Physiological Needs 47:50 - Applying the Principles of Captain Your Story 52:40 - Interview for the Nonprofit My Story Matters 53:20 - Freedom Scholars Academy 57:55 - FSM Integrating with the Captain Your Story Model 1:07:55 - For Donations contact MarkH@mystorymatters.org

In Episode 132 of Medium Lady Talks Erin shares the first episode in the new self-care series “How To Take Care of Yourself”. The first item on the list is one that most people definitely struggle with - saying yes to help that's offered. This isn't just about asking for help, which is naturally hard enough and makes many of us feel vulnerable and out of control! But there are many people in our lives who offer help or who are very available to take on tasks and support our needs for care - are you making the most of the help available in your life?  Why is asking for help so hard? And why do we feel guilty when we actually get it? If you've ever resisted delegating tasks or felt like needing help meant you were failing, this episode is for you. In the new MLT series How to Take Care of Yourself, we're exploring the deep-seated beliefs that keep women, especially mothers, from seeking support—and how breaking free from the “do it all” mindset is one of the most important steps towards sustained wellness. In this episode, we'll cover: ✔️ Why asking for help feels uncomfortable (and how to shift your mindset) ✔️ Small, practical ways to start accepting help without guilt ✔️ Letting go of control: why it's okay if things aren't done your way ✔️ How individualism and hustle culture fuel burnout ✔️ The connection between receiving support and true self-care If you've been struggling to balance it all, this is your permission to let go and let others in. Listen now and start practicing your care  in a way that actually supports and sustains your well-being. The series starts here! Episode 131: Why is Taking Care of Yourself So Hard?

Hello, hi! This week's episode is a bit of a vulnerable off the cuff episode - I have a few things weighing heavy on my mind, and all of it surrounding the frustrations we all experience around the effort of taking care of ourselves. My hope is that this episode represents a "kick off" of a new series of content designed to help us all consider the smallest most useful and accessible ways of taking care of ourselves today, so we can take care of our families, friends and communities tomorrow.   Episode Summary: In this episode, I chat about: How our inability to take care of ourselves shows up in our division and judgemental discourse with one another My own challenges to show up for myself in small ways also causes me to reflect back on the ways my life will matter, and how I want to be as well as possible to do that work, for example, raising my sons to be people who make the world a better place. We can't get the barriers out of the way until we're willing to be honest about why it's so hard to take care of ourselves Why do we resist self-care? Even when a billion-dollar self care industry is telling us we should be excited and happy to take care of ourselves? Society's over emphasis on individualism as a cultural value and as a personal strength: it's always better if you can take care of yourself without needing anyone.Success is measured by how much you did on your own. Generationally millennial parents are having a much different experience raising their children than their parents did in the 80s or even their parents in the 50s and 60s. All of these thoughts have me realizing how much more I want to talk about taking care of ourselves and to start to create a new language outside of the self-care industrial complex. Reflect on this final question:   “Where are you having a hard time taking care of yourself?” Other Episodes you might like: From Medium Lady: Episode 117: Medium Effort Advice: Help, I'm doing too much, and none of it well!

In today's episode, I break down why self-care isn't selfish—it's the foundation for serving others. Too many people believe they have to sacrifice their well-being to be generous, but the truth is, you can't pour from an empty cup. Prioritizing sleep, health, and personal growth creates the energy and mindset needed to give more effectively. I also unpack the difference between self-interest and selflessness, the dangers of burnout from people-pleasing, and how fear of missing out interferes with success. Sustainable service starts with investing in yourself first, so you can make a lasting impact on those around you.
