Sarah reflects on selling her therapy practice, surviving burnout, and discovering that healing sometimes means walking away. This week we're sharing a conversation that originally aired on Lonely at the Top, hosted by Rachel Alexandria.  Rachel works with CEOs, founders, executives, and high performers navigating the emotional weight of leadership, so it makes sense that this conversation was about one of the most transformative—and painful—chapters of my professional life. In this episode: Why leadership can become profoundly lonely—even when you're surrounded by people The hidden relationship between trauma, workaholism, and burnout Navigating residential treatment and recovery during COVID What suicidal ideation can reveal about feeling trapped and overwhelmed Why asking for help may be one of the most important leadership skills we develop If you've ever felt trapped by success, isolated by leadership, or overwhelmed by the pressure of holding everything together, I hope this conversation reminds you that you're not alone and that healing doesn't require perfection. Originally aired on Lonely at the Top in 2025.

So often we think of essential oils as the primary form of distillation from aromatic plants. But there is another form of water-based extraction through distillation that is commonly overlooked, and that's hydrosols.Hydrosols are aromatic waters that capture both volatile oils and the water from the steaming process. According to today's guest Emma Prescher, they really are a bridge between the energetic signature of the plant (the plant "beingness") and the physical characteristics within the volatile oils.She speaks to the immense transformational accident that required her to slow down after longtime survival mode and how astrology and herbalism were key parts of her healing journey and ultimately what brought her back to life in a way.We also explore the sensual nature of hydrosols, how they impact your nervous system, the different aromatic profiles of the same plant at different times in the growing season, how tobacco flowers came to be her first hydrosol and so much more. Resources:Free guided womb connection meditation and clearing Today's shownotes: Get links to Emma's offerings, hydrosols etcEpisode 83: What is astro-herbalism with Andrea WebbIf you loved this episode, share it with a friend, or take a screenshot and share on social media and tag me @herbalwombwisdomAnd if you love this podcast, leave a rating & write a review!

Top Ten Tending Comics of the Week! 2.8.2026 by Comictom101

Sarah and Rebecca discuss trauma culture, healing, political consciousness, and building the capacity to stay present with life's messiness. This week, we're sharing a conversation originally recorded in 2024 for The Unburdened Leader with my friend and colleague, Rebecca Ching. Truthfully, this felt less like an interview and more like one of those conversations you have with someone who speaks the same language you do.  We talk about what I call ordinary trauma—the relational wounds that often go unnoticed because they're so common—and why reclaiming our agency is essential to healing. We also dive into the dangers of quick-fix solutions, the importance of mindfulness, and what it means to lead from values rather than fear. In this episode: What "ordinary trauma" is and why it often goes unrecognized The relationship between agency, personal power, and healing Why the pursuit of being "okay" may be the wrong goal The dangers of trauma oversimplification and quick-fix culture How leadership, politics, values, and healing are deeply interconnected Have you ever wondered whether healing is supposed to feel easier by now? Then this conversation is for you. Originally aired on The Unburdened Leader podcast in 2024. Special thanks to Rebecca Ching for creating a space for nuance, curiosity, and honest conversation.

In this episode, I am chatting with Megan Arevalo, who lives in Michigan with her husband and two children, who are three and eight. After initially homeschooling, Megan came to unschooling after her daughter's burnout, when she realised she needed to focus entirely on connection and wellbeing. Megan talks about the subsequent autism diagnoses and her own path from feeling like she had to hold everything together to understanding her own neurodivergence. And we talk about what it looks like to embrace connection over control, let go of perfectionism, and keep learning from our children. I hope you enjoy the conversation. Connect with Megan:https://megantarevalo.substack.com/If you'd like to support the podcast and the sharing of these stories, you can do that here.   Thank you!The Parent's Handbook to Unschooling Yourself.

The Buddha taught a path of awakened living, but how does that manifest in today's world of constant connectivity and widespread suffering?How do we keep our hearts open without being defined or hardened by the pain that surrounds us, whether personal, collective, or historical? How do we navigate the paradox of holding both pain and joy without mistaking suffering for punishment or personal failure? Can we infuse our compassion with wisdom and perspective to find the agency to take meaningful action in our communities? In her new series, Engaged Compassion, Sharon delves into these questions and more, engaging in candid conversations with a diverse group of teachers, activists, and changemakers.

Dr. Annie Selak (she/her/hers) is an expert in feminist ecclesiology. She studies wounds in the church, or moments where the church fails to live into its mission and causes harm. Racism, sexism, and the clergy sex abuse crisis are examples of the church failing to credibly be church. Guided by a feminist methodology, Selak integrates the lived experience of women with a robust vision for the church. Selak serves as a Visiting Scholar in the Center on Faith and Justice while working as a campus minister at a local independent school. She earned her Ph.D. in systematic theology at Boston College and M.Div at the Jesuit School of Theology at Berkeley. Selak has over 15 years of experience in Catholic ministry, and her writing has appeared in Modern Theology, Journal of Catholic Social Thought, Washington Post, National Catholic Reporter, Commonweal, and America. Her forthcoming book, The Wounded Church: Tending to the Harm within Catholicism (Fordham UP, 2026) puts forth a vision of the church in the shadow of wounds, guided by a feminist methodology. Selak argues that the Catholic Church must confront its own injuries in order to credibly be Church. Using a feminist framework, she develops a new ecclesiology around three wounds, racism, sexism, and clericalism, that actively harm the Body of Christ and distort its witness. Attentive to history, pastoral practice, and lived experience, Selak shows how each wound is both inflicted by the Church and borne within the Church. She offers the resurrected body of Jesus, scarred yet no longer bleeding, as a guiding metaphor for ecclesial renewal, a body that does not deny its wounds but is transformed through them. Drawing on Karl Rahner, she grounds hope in the reign of God while insisting on concrete institutional and spiritual conversion. Written for students and scholars, ministers and lay leaders, The Wounded Church uncovers overlooked histories tied to racism, sexism, and the clergy sexual abuse crisis, and proposes clear theological principles for reform. The result is a constructive, pastorally engaged vision that tells the truth about harm and imagines credible paths toward change, accountability, and justice.

Tending to the Global Heart Through Empathy and Understanding What if one of the most powerful ways to strengthen human connection is the simple act of feeling deeply heard and understood? Join Michelle Villegas for a rich and inspiring conversation with Edwin Rutsch, founder of the Empathy Center, as they explore the transformative role empathy can play in our relationships, communities, and society as a whole. Drawing from years of research and practice, Edwin shares his vision for building a global culture of empathy and introduces concepts including self-empathy, mutual empathy, imaginative empathy, and the practice of empathy circles—structured spaces where people experience the power of deep listening and authentic understanding. Michelle, bringing her perspective as a therapist, educator, singer, songwriter, and host, helps bridge these ideas with psychology, human development, and creative expression. Together they explore barriers that often block empathy—including rushing to solutions, judgment, analysis, and disconnection—and discuss how learning to truly listen can open pathways to deeper connection. The conversation also reaches into larger social issues, including , education, and the importance of nurturing empathy in children and future generations. Michelle and Edwin also reflect on the role of music, storytelling, and creativity as pathways to connection and understanding, inviting listeners to imagine a world where empathy becomes more than an individual practice—it becomes a cultural value. This heartfelt discussion offers practical tools, fresh perspectives, and a vision for tending not only to our individual relationships, but to the global heart we all share. Edwin Rutsch is the founding director of The Empathy Center.  The Centers mission is to build a movement to raise the level of mutual empathy in the world through education and community initiatives. Edwin has been working on this mission for the past 15+ years.  A few of his projects include; creating the internet's largest empathy related website, interviewing hundreds of world empathy experts, hosting Empathy Summits, and developing Empathy building practices and trainings. He also started the Empathy Tent which goes out to public spaces and offers listening and conflict resolution. Edwin hopes to inspire you to join this movement and transform the world. To learn more go to: http://TheEmpathyCenter.org Learn more about Michelle here  https://dreamvisions7radio.com/friends-with-the-world/ Website: friendswiththeworld.com

In this heartfelt episode, we sit down with Caroline Hahm, chef at Di An DI restaurant in Brooklyn NY, to explore the beautiful intersection of professional kitchens and sustainable farming. We dive into her journey from leaving Cornell to working in fashion, and explore how the documentary Food Inc. and her grandmother's garden entirely reshaped her worldview. Caroline shares her tumultuous journey of learning her craft from scratch, discovering farming along the way, and how she ultimately ended up as a culinary leader. She breaks down the economic realities of sourcing ethically for Asian cuisine, paying farmers full price, and subverting toxic kitchen cultures through mindful leadership. Finally, we discuss her guiding mission to live a life of service and her dream of building a hospitality space tied directly to its own market garden.

Chronic shame, developmental trauma, healing in community, and why the future of therapy depends on therapists embracing their own growth. This week, we're sharing a conversation originally recorded for The Innovative Therapist with Shawn Hondorp. What started as a typical podcast interview quickly became a conversation that helped me better understand my own work (thank you very much!) We talk about how chronic shame disconnects us from our agency, why therapists need to be honest about power dynamics, and what happens when we stop trying to "arrive" at healing and instead embrace the lifelong journey of becoming. In this episode: Why personal power and agency are essential to healing from developmental trauma How therapists unintentionally recreate harmful power dynamics in therapy and workplace settings The connection between chronic shame and self-abandonment Why therapists must prioritize their own healing work How creativity, play, spirituality, and community can become powerful pathways to transformation If you've ever felt frustrated by the limitations of traditional therapy, exhausted by workplace dynamics, or curious about what authentic healing really looks like, I think you'll find something meaningful here.

Much of what we long to see in leadership—trust, depth, resilience, and lasting fruit—simply does not grow well in a hurry. In this episode of the Unhurried Living Podcast, Alan Fadling reflects on insights from Wendell Berry to explore a different way of leading. Instead of pushing for results, what if leadership is more like tending a garden? What if the work is less about driving outcomes and more about cultivating the kind of life where good things can grow? Drawing from Berry’s reflections on the slow work of restoring fertility, Alan invites leaders to consider the deeper kind of growth that happens over time—often unseen, but essential for lasting impact. You’ll discover: Why meaningful growth in leadership cannot be rushed What it looks like to cultivate a life-giving environment Three simple practices that help leaders foster lasting fruit How tending your inner life shapes everything you lead This episode is for pastors, team leaders, and anyone who wants to lead in a way that helps people truly flourish.

Using a feminist framework, she develops a new ecclesiology around three wounds, racism, sexism, and clericalism, that actively harm the Body of Christ and distort its witness. Attentive to history, pastoral practice, and lived experience, Selak shows how each wound is both inflicted by the Church and borne within the Church. She offers the resurrected body of Jesus, scarred yet no longer bleeding, as a guiding metaphor for ecclesial renewal, a body that does not deny its wounds but is transformed through them. Drawing on Karl Rahner, she grounds hope in the reign of God while insisting on concrete institutional and spiritual conversion. Written for students and scholars, ministers and lay leaders, The Wounded Church uncovers overlooked histories tied to racism, sexism, and the clergy sexual abuse crisis, and proposes clear theological principles for reform. The result is a constructive, pastorally engaged vision that tells the truth about harm and imagines credible paths toward change, accountability, and justice.

Welcome back to the Menlo Midweek Podcast! This week, hosts Matt Summers and Phil EuBank kick off our brand-new series, "GLITCH: Being Human in a Machine World," with an episode titled "Fatal Error." Living in the Bay Area, we are surrounded by a culture that demands constant optimization—from our schedules to our sleep to our diets. Yet, despite having all the right "life hacks," anxiety is at an all-time high. Why? Because we are trying to run an infinite soul on a finite operating system, and we are crashing. This episode is an invitation to stop debugging your life and start actually living it.

AI researcher and former Google employee Earl Wagner helps unpack AI therapy bots, emotional attachment to technology, and what makes healing deeply human. You know how I'm always encouraging therapists to sit with the unknown? Well, fair warning: this episode may test your limits in the same way that a good fitness coach might test your stamina. It's time for the AI conversation. AI's growing role in therapy, healing, and emotional support Why loneliness and disconnection make AI companions appealing What human therapists can offer that AI can't replicate How therapists may need to evolve in an AI-driven future The importance of community, embodiment, and real connection Maybe therapists can't counter all of our dystopian daydreams, but we can expand our capacity to connect.

Is Mortality the Enemy of a Meaningful Life?   Curtis Chang sits down with psychologist Dr. Dan Allender for a searching conversation about aging, mortality, Christian hope, and the surprising freedom of growing older. Together, they explore why getting older is not merely decline, but an invitation to deeper purpose, tenderness, grace, and wisdom—especially in a culture determined to deny death. From caring for aging parents to reimagining retirement, Dan and Curtis offer biblical insight and personal honesty for anyone seeking renewed purpose, peace, and courage as we grow older.   00:43 - Introduction to Aging Well Spiritually, Not Physically 03:25 - Psalm 90 and When to Start Thinking About Age? 05:40- Why Does Our Culture Avoid Aging? 09:52 - Are There Gifts in Getting Older? 19:10 - Counting Your Days: A Biblical Perspective 25:05- Psalm 92: The Righteous Stay Vital By Serving Others  29:14 - The Problem with Retirement Culture 34:32 - What About the "Sandwich Generation"? 40:55 - Our Inner Emotional Age  44:45 - The Power of Story  From Lives Well Lived 50:20 - Tending to Your Past Selves   Please Enjoy the Reading Guide for This Episode: https://bit.ly/danallenderreadalong   Turn on Apple Podcasts Automatic Downloads: Go to the Settings app on your iPhone.

If you've ever felt completely out of control in a relationship — knowing it's wrong, unable to leave, ashamed of yourself for staying — this conversation is going to make you feel far less alone. Marina sits down with Andrea Ashley, host of Adult Child and The Shitshow podcast, who grew up in an alcoholic home, spent her teens in and out of rehabs, got sober at 19, and still found herself at rock bottom at 28 — trapped in trauma bonds she didn't yet have words for. Andrea shares the story she's never fully told before: the relationship that pulled her back in at her most under-resourced, the friendship betrayal that happened at the worst possible moment, and what it actually took to finally get out. This one is raw, real, and deeply human. Connect with Andrea:https://www.instagram.com/adultchildpod/https://www.adultchildpodcast.com/WORK WITH ME 1:1:❥Softening into self- 3 month 1:1 with Whats App Support:https://marina-yt.mykajabi.com/offers/PAWQhZHu❥❥1:1 Coaching with me: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfWcZM5s9c2OjOLwoGMI5jE6rh_JAzjN2d_vCtuVe7e3pVGxw/viewformDOWNLOAD FOR FREE:Stay or Go: 5 Clarity Questions to Reconnect with Your Inner Knowing: https://marinayt.com/stay-or-go-guideAttatchment Practice: Discover the actual blocks beneath the surface so you can actually have the deep intimacy you crave: https://marinayt.com/attachment-practice Connect & Ground: 10 Incredible Somatic Practices for Nervous System Regulation: https://marinayt.com/connect-and-groundAlive & Aligned: 7 Embodiment Practices For Self Connection: https://marinayt.com/alive-and-alignedTrigger to Rooted: A step by step process of working with your triggers: https://marinayt.com/trigger-2-rooted VIEW MY COURSES & RESOURCES:https://marinayt.com/resources CONNECT WITH  ME:Follow me on Instagram:⁠ ⁠www.instagram.com/marina.y.t⁠⁠ Subscribe to YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@marinatriner Top Episode Quotes:"As soon as my fear of abandonment got triggered, I was done.

HOST: Dr. Sarah Clarke, DC, IFMCP GUEST: Mimi Hernandez, MS, RH (AHG) Dr. Sarah Clarke and Mimi Hernandez discuss the trending gut-first approach in holistic pediatric care. Mimi emphasizes the critical window in childhood to tend to the terrain, or landscape, of the microbiome which builds a foundational layer of health that is carried into adulthood. They discuss common childhood concerns such as eczema, respiratory conditions, diarrhea, constipation, and more. Mimi highlights clinical studies that show promising results to mitigate or resolve many of these conditions with the use of children's synbiotics, which include fiber, prebiotics, and probiotics that help a child's gut microbiome flourish. Mimi Prunella Hernandez is a clinical herbalist with a passion for research-based applications and experience in the natural product industry. She has educated students and medical practitioners in herbal medicine through various platforms, integrating traditional knowledge with scientific insights. She is currently an Herbal Therapy Liaison and clinical educator for Standard Process. She is the author of the National Geographic Herbal and coauthor of the National Geographic Backyard Guide to Edible Wild Plants. PODCAST SUMMARY 2:00 A gut-first approach to children's gut health 3:00 Tending to the microbiome – prebiotic inulin and fermented foods 4:40 Metaphor from an herbalist's perspective: Tending to the flora in the landscape of the microbiome 5:27 The state of the terrain, or landscape, of children's microbiomes today – how children's gut health is affected by their environments 6:58 How parents can support the terrain of their children's microbiome – the gut-brain connection 9:00 The importance of fiber to the gut landscape – types and diversity 10:39 Critical window of development in childhood to develop a healthy microbiome 12:17 Beta-glucans that feed gut microbes – found in mushrooms and ancient oat varieties 13:40 How polyphenols found in colorful foods encourage the microbiome to develop 15:25 Constipation in children – fiber is not the whole story: soluable vs insoluable fibers, the gut-brain connection, dysbiosis and more 18:56 Lack of biodiversity in microbiome due to low fiber and how it contributes to constipation 19:36 Short-chain fatty acids, or microbial metabolites – signals that communicate with the nervous and immune systems 23:40 Connection between skin conditions and the microbiome 26:52 Bifidobacterium lactis – will thrive when given the right fiber 27:30 Benefits of children's synbiotic combinations 30:12 Early antibiotic use and the impact on microbiome health 31:20 Sacromyceses boulardi – probiotic yeast that has benefits post-antibiotic use 33:58 Best forms of children's synbiotic supplements – are probiotic gummies really effective? 35:05 Using clinically studied microbes in pediatric research 39:25 Supplementing with fibers in children's synbiotic blends to help bridge the fiber gap in children's diets 40:43 Setting a strong foundation in childhood for optimal health into adulthood with microbiome support  

Why trauma-informed therapists are questioning the medical model, rethinking therapist education, and redefining what healing can look like in a disconnected world. In my ongoing effort to "future-proof" the field of therapy, I'm encouraging practitioners to dream beyond the conventional session model. How do we move our profession and the world closer to a truly person-centered ethos? How do therapists expand our professional capacity to welcome (or, at least tolerate) interpersonal nuance, spiritual inquiry, somatic experiences, and/or political difference? My guest, Dr. Danica Harris, suggests that therapists begin by loosening their death grip on the one-on-one billable hour, among other things. Danica is the somatic experiencing practitioner behind The Empowered Therapist on Instagram. She's also a complex trauma expert working internationally as a coach, facilitator, presenter, and educator.  If you're gonna chart a course for a utopian professional future, you're gonna want Danica along for the ride!  Why the medical model is failing many therapists and clients The growing divide between therapy education and real-world healing How trauma shows up in therapists themselves Why younger clinicians are challenging old systems The role of spirituality, embodiment, and vulnerability in healing What hope looks like during times of collective trauma Join The Therapist Network and receive 20% off your subscription tier when you enter the code SARAHROCKS.

The way we love, fight, withdraw, and reconnect at home shapes how we lead everywhere else. Dr. Pavini Moray joins Amy to explore relational mindfulness, conflict patterns, leadership boundaries, shame, power dynamics, and the unconscious survival strategies that follow us from childhood into work, intimacy, and community. Together they unpack what happens when leaders overextend, when relationships become competitive instead of collaborative, and why healing relational patterns may be the deepest leadership work we ever do. The conversation moves through vulnerability, compassion, emotional accountability, mentorship, and the possibility of becoming more grounded, relational humans both at home and at work. By the end, what emerges is a hopeful truth: awareness creates choice, and choice creates the possibility for transformation.Moments That Create Momentum:Why Home Relationships Shape Leadership – Explore how unresolved conflict and emotional patterns at home ripple directly into workplace leadership and culture.The Professional Paradox: Why is it that you can lead a team with total composure during an executive crisis, yet find yourself "acting like an asshole" the moment you walk through your front door?The "Juicy Energy" Drain: Are you accidentally starving your personal relationships by giving all your best, life-affirming energy to your company, leaving only the "leftover" conflict and divisiveness for your partner?The Corporate Affair Trap: Discover why high-pressure workplaces often become a "safe haven" while the home becomes a combat zone—and how this "reversal" is a leading driver of workplace infidelity.Understanding the Pursuer-Withdrawer Dynamic – See how common relationship cycles form and why interrupting even one small part of the pattern can begin healing.Conflict as a Pathway to Self-Awareness – Discover how shame around conflict can become an invitation toward growth instead of something to avoid.Holding Power Without Losing Humanity – Hear how conscious leaders balance compassion, boundaries, accountability, and healthy authority.About the Guest:Dr. Pavini Moray is the author of How to Hold Power: Becoming a Leader People Love and Respect and the Tending the Bones: Reclaiming Pleasure after Transgenerational Sexual Trauma. With over 30 years of experience as an educator, activist, and somatic coach, they help leaders and couples do the inner work that changes how they show up in every relationship they're in.Dr. Moray holds an M.Ed. in Montessori Curriculum Design and a Ph.D. in Somatic Psychology, and works at the intersection of the body, relational patterns, and conscious leadership. They use Relational Life Therapy and somatic approaches to help people move from adaptive survival strategies into the kind of grounded, boundaried presence that actually leads well.A queer, trans, nonbinary human walking the path of old magick and ridiculous delight, Pavini writes the Substack "Glitter Joyride" and believes that learning to be truly relational with the people we love most is the first step to learning how to do it everywhere.https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-pavini-morayhttps://www.instagram.com/pavinicoakwellmoraySubstack: Glitter Joyride - https://pavinimoray.substack.com/About Amy:Amy Lynn Durham, known by her clients as the Corporate Mystic, is the founder of the Executive Coaching Firm, Create Magic At Work®, where they help leaders build workplaces rooted in creativity, collaboration, and fulfillment.

Today, we talk about a topic that a lot of us who've been in the sport a while need to think about. How to break ourselves down like we did in the beginning. Life is about being alive and challenging ourselves. We take a look at the lure of comfort and how to shake things up. Once again, we explore the reasons why we do this, and how the edges of challenge and pain shift. We look at why it's so important to face simple fears and things we don't want to do and how to use these wins. For us, triathlon has always been about breaking up the rocks, but in many ways it also becomes about tending to them in a positive way so they don't fuse back together. Topics: Live every day Get along German Endurance Feast Robbie's Rewind The medal returns Obsession with comfort Find something that's gonna break you Breaking up the rocks Pain as a precursor to growth Your race time vs. the pursuit Back to that primal feeling Do what scares you Why do we do this? What is improvement When we fake it until we can't anymore Life circumstances and resilience Breaking things down over and over Good times, soft men Tending to your broken rocks Fake endorphines Tackle a simple fear Mike Tarrolly - mike@c26triathlon.com Robbie Bruce - robbie@c26triathlon.com

What if power isn't something to avoid—but something to learn? Francine Proulx-Kenzle and Sarah Buino explore sociocracy, personal power, burnout, and how early childhood experiences shape the way we show up in systems. I'm going to say something that might make a few therapists squirm: power is not the enemy. And yet… so many of us act like it is.  In this conversation with Francine Proulx-Kenzle, I kept coming back to a core truth that I think we—especially in the therapy world—need to hear again and again: power simply exists. What matters is how we relate to it. Key takeaways from this episode: Power isn't something you have or don't have—it's something you learn to use Avoiding power often leads to recreating the same harmful dynamics Burnout is often a sign of disconnection from your own needs and agency Systems like sociocracy show us what shared, humane power can look like Healing isn't about becoming perfect—it's about staying in relationship with your humanity If there's one thing I want you to take from this conversation, it's this: you don't have to reject power to be a good person. You just have to learn how to use it differently. And that work starts with you. Join The Therapist Network and receive 20% off your subscription tier when you enter the code SARAHROCKS.

Between the wild green fire of Beltane and the golden blaze of Litha lives a season of pure enchantment. In this episode of Back on the Broomstick, Laylla and Chelle step into the lush, humming magic of early summer, where flowers burst open like spells, fireflies flicker over fields at dusk, and the land itself seems drunk on possibility.Together, they explore the magick “between the spokes” of the Wheel of the Year. That fertile stretch of time where passion becomes action, abundance begins to ripen, and we choose what deserves our energy, attention, and devotion. From Beltane's fertile spark to the radiant power of Litha, this episode is all about sustaining joy, feeding creativity, and falling back in love with life itself.The witches share practical everyday enchantments to help keep the season's energy moving. Think dandelion honey spells for sweetness and stubborn growth, mugwort dreamwork beneath open summer windows, and self love glamour magic designed to make you magnetic to your own spirit first and foremost.

Sarah explores sociocracy with Ted Rau, discussing models of shared leadership, and what it really takes to bridge the gap between overwhelmed owners and under-resourced clinicians. Our third cohort of the Authentic Leaders Group starts this spring and it's got me thinking about systems that need to change. While change may be inevitable, it's far from easy. That's especially true in the therapy field.  Our clients and culture are undergoing sweeping evolution and so too must group practice. How do we bridge the gap between employees and owners when both feel overworked and underpaid?  Sociocracy could be the answer.  Why group practice feels unsustainable right now: Exploring the growing disconnect between owners and clinicians—and how burnout, compensation, and evolving cultural needs are pushing the current model to its limits. What sociocracy offers instead: Insights from Ted Rau on consent-based governance, shared decision-making, and how "circles" can distribute power, responsibility, and accountability. The real question behind systems change: What it actually asks of us—owners releasing control, clinicians stepping into leadership—and whether the field is ready to experiment with more equitable, collaborative ways of working. I'm committed to having more of these system-focused, heart-centered conversations. I hope you are, too. Join our Authentic Leaders Group! Next cohort starts May 1, 2026. This is a journey of self-discovery and leadership mastery, where you'll not only enhance your leadership skills but also forge meaningful connections with fellow therapists who are committed to their own growth and the betterment of the therapy field.

What happens when therapists stop performing growth and actually practice it together? Kathryn Esquer shares how The Therapist Network emerged from a real need for authentic connection—and why community, vulnerability, and accountability are essential for sustainable clinical work. You know how I'm always going on about a) doing your work, and b) doing that work alongside others? It occurred to me that many therapists don't know where to begin, especially with "everything" happening to our profession and the communities we serve. Kathryn Esquer felt that same deep desire for peer-based connection and support. So, she built it. Today, The Therapist Network offers professionals a virtual space for genuine collaboration, collective wisdom, and feedback––the kind of inspiration and resource-sharing that chaotic Facebook groups just can't provide. Katy and I advance that goal by offering a "what to expect" primer for healthy group dynamics: Why build community? Your professional growth and mental well-being depend on it! Joining something is scary as hell, but extending yourself is better than going it alone. Practice discernment. Not all collaboration is good! If you're questioning a group's leadership, motives, or focus, then it's time to find a new space. Include elders and others. If the group doesn't embrace a mix of backgrounds, orientations, or ages, then it's not a true community. Seek safety. Authenticity is easier to access when a group feels secure. A reminder that safety doesn't mean devoid of accountability. A safe community promotes responsibility among all its members. Take time to find your people.

If you’ve been feeling a lack of agency, stuck in loops of scarcity, or like you’re constantly reacting to life rather than leading it… this episode is your recalibration point. This week, we move from the fluid emotions of the sacral into the "fire" of the Solar Plexus. As we navigate this period of accelerated energy, this center acts as your internal level—the bridge between your lower instincts and your higher consciousness. What many experience as chronic inflammation, adrenal fatigue, or "foot-in-mouth" syndrome is often a Solar Plexus struggling to metabolize the world around it. In this episode of Soul Sessions, Amanda explores the "Mighty I Am." Because when you master your seat of power, you stop outsourcing your resourcefulness to others and start magnetizing your reality from the inside out. This episode explores: --The Seat of Personal Power: Understanding the Solar Plexus as your calibration point for consciousness and manifestation. --Metabolizing Life: How your gut isn’t just digesting food—it’s digesting your environment, your experiences, and your day-to-day interactions. --Fear as a Distortion: Identifying the two primary fear programs—the fear of losing what you have and the fear of not getting what you want. --The Gut-Brain Connection: The science of serotonin in the gut and how unconscious programming lives in your digestive center. --Agency vs. Powerlessness: Reclaiming your ability to choose, change your mind, and take personal responsibility for your actions and attitudes. --The Physical Toll: How Solar Plexus imbalances manifest as chronic inflammation, adrenal strain, and weight fluctuations. --The Internal Broadcast: Auditing the "shadow" dialogue—what are you unconsciously broadcasting to the world through your fears? WORK WITH THIS EPISODE For the next 7 days, focus on your Solar Plexus to shift from reaction to agency: --The Fear Audit: Ask yourself daily: "What am I afraid of right now?" and "Is scarcity shaping my decision-making?" Awareness is the first step to clearing the distortion. --Check Your "Input": Be mindful of what you are ingesting—both nutritionally and energetically. Focus on balancing your gut and colon to boost your physical lifeforce. --Monitor the Dialogue: When you catch yourself in an internal loop or a "foot-in-mouth" moment, pause. Choose a different response to reclaim your agency. --Visualize Yellow: Envision a bright, steady golden-yellow light at your navel. See it as a level, finding its center and steadying your confidence and resourcefulness. --Somatic Check-in: Notice where you feel "tight" in your midsection. --Practice deep belly breathing to soothe the interface between your nervous system and your physical body.

If you’ve been feeling over-reactive, stagnant, or like your emotions are a tidal wave you can’t quite control… this episode will help you understand why. Right now, we are collectively moving from the "doing" of the root into the "feeling" of the sacral. What many experience as emotional leakage, overexplaining, or a constant need for external validation is actually a sacral chakra that is either blocked or overflowing without a container. In this episode of Soul Sessions, Amanda moves the conversation into the fluid center of the body. Because once you learn to use your emotions intelligently, they stop being something that overpowers you and start becoming your greatest superpower for manifestation and direction. This episode explores: Emotional Intelligence vs. Emotional Overwhelm: Learning to see feelings as information rather than immediate instructions. The Power of Receptivity: Why western "hustle" culture blocks the sacral and how to attract opportunities, money, and love by doing less and receiving more. Identifying Emotional Leakage: How overexplaining, seeking social media validation, and replaying mental dialogues drain your life force. The 21-Second Rule: Why sitting with a trigger for less than a minute can shift you from a reactive state to emotional neutrality. The Physical Connection: How the sacral impacts the hips, pelvis, lower back, kidneys, and reproductive system. Reclaiming Sovereignty: Moving away from putting your happiness in the hands of your spouse, children, or friends and getting back into the driver’s seat. Magnetizing Reality: How clear emotional energy acts as a signal to the field to bring in health, wealth, and community. This is not about denying your feelings or becoming "numb." This is about becoming the person who leads their energy, rather than the person being led by their triggers. WORK WITH THIS EPISODE For the next 6–7 days, focus on your sacral chakra: Pause Before Reacting: When triggered, sit with the feeling for at least 30 seconds before responding to a text, email, or person. Practice the "Simple No": Notice where you feel the need to overexplain or justify your boundaries. Practice a clear "No, I can't," without the extra energy. Check Your Hips: Notice tension in your pelvis or lower back; use the jaw-opening exercise while holding your belly to release the connection between your voice and your center. Visualize Orange: During your morning or evening routine, envision a vibrant orange light in your lower abdomen, anchoring your sense of "deserve-ability."

Today's episode will inspire you to put your hands in the soil and grow something. Rachel shares her entire history with gardening, from how she got started to her intuitive process now. The beautiful thing about gardening is that you can just begin, and nature will take it from there. Tending to a little plot of land has changed Rachel's life for the better. This daily work of time spent in the garden working with her hands is shifting something so primal inside of her - and showing her maybe there is another way to live. Maybe growing our own foods is the way out of the existing system that is draining us and taking us away from our children. If we want something to change, we have to be that change. You can start right now by growing some food. Tune in to get inspired.
