Why Nobody Talks About Being a Caregiver at Work (& What It's Costing Us) with Jennifer LevinIn this deeply personal episode of The WorkWell Podcast™, Jen Fisher speaks with Jennifer Levin, television writer, journalist, and founder of Caregiver Collective, about her powerful book "Generation Care: The New Culture of Caregiving." While we're in meetings and hitting deadlines, millions of workers are simultaneously managing something most colleagues know nothing about—caring for aging or chronically ill family members. Jennifer became a caregiver at 32 when her father was diagnosed with a rare degenerative illness, and what she discovered changed everything about how we should think about work, support, and what it means to show up.Episode Highlights:What makes millennial and Gen X caregiving different—and why "you don't have other responsibilities" is a dangerous assumptionWhy most young caregivers don't identify as caregivers—and what that silence costs themThe role reversal nobody prepares you for: becoming your parent's parentWhy our culture doesn't value family care as strong social capital—and the discrimination that followsThe real cost to companies: employees leaving not because they want to, but because unpaid leave forces impossible choicesSigns a team member might be struggling with caregiving (even if they haven't said anything)Ambiguous loss: grieving the person who's still here and the life you thought you'd haveWhy guilt is the one word every caregiver mentions, no matter what aspect of care they're discussingHow to create a culture of care awareness without requiring people to sacrifice their careersThe "waiting for the other shoe to drop" reality—and why caregiving emergencies don't follow a scheduleQuotable Moments:"People will question your decisions all the time when you're a caregiver. But the person you're caring for wouldn't want you to give up on yourself either." - Jennifer LevinResources:This episode of The WorkWell Podcast™ is made possible by Lyra Health, a premier global workforce mental health solution.

Email counselling is often misunderstood - some therapists worry it lacks depth, feels impersonal, or that clients simply won't want it.In this episode of Good Enough Counsellors, I'm joined by Chloe Foster, humanistic counsellor, trainer, and founder of Email Counselling Academy, to explore what email counselling really looks like in practice - and why it can be a powerful, ethical, and deeply reflective way of working.Chloe explains:What email counselling actually involves - the structure, boundaries, and timing that make it safe and professionalHow counsellors use their skills in written form to create depth and connectionWhy clients do want email therapy, and which groups find it especially helpful (from neurodivergent clients to parents and shift workers)Common objections therapists have — and how to address themThe risks of offering email counselling without specialist training, including contracting, secure systems, and managing risk safelyChloe also shares how her passion for accessibility and ethical practice led her to create the Professional Certificate in Email Counselling - a six-month course for qualified counsellors who want to develop these skills properly. You can access the free quiz HERE and details about Email Counselling Academy HEREIf you've ever wondered whether email counselling is “real therapy”, or if you've been curious about diversifying your practice, this episode offers reassurance, insight, and inspiration. Key Quotes“Email counselling isn't just typing back and forth - it's a structured, therapeutic exchange with clear boundaries.”“Clients often go deeper through writing because they have time to reflect and choose their words.”“The more accessible therapy becomes, the more people we can reach.”Setting up in private practice?

In a coaching landscape where there's no shortage of ways to become certified, what makes one program stand out from the rest? It's no secret–you can easily go online, attend any workshop, and walk away with a seal of approval. But a comprehensive, holistic program goes far beyond earning the title of a coach. It invites you into true life mastery—first for yourself, and then for the clients and communities you serve.In this episode, we take a deeper look into the heart of Master Coach Training. I'll talk about what it means to be a Master Coach, how the program will be structured, and what it means for you as an individual. Even if you aren't a coach–or you're not yet sure if coaching is the right path for you–this episode, and maybe even a Master Coach certification, will benefit you and the life you want to create.So many of us move through life checking boxes, believing that if we follow a precise plan we'll arrive at happiness and fulfillment. Then, at some point along the way, we face situations and challenges that wake us up to the truth: our plan can't prepare us for everything life brings. These moments can wake us up in powerful ways, calling us to expand beyond the roadmap we've constructed and into a deeper alignment with our values and purpose. This is why my Master Coach certification program is first and foremost about mastering self, and why I believe this work can serve anyone on their journey to life mastery.A Master Coach certification is an opportunity to lean in and understand yourself on a deeper level. Through this holistic coaching approach, you'll cultivate the self-connection that transforms every part of your life. It's truly the difference between surviving and leading your life, and I can't wait to share what's possible when you say yes to your own mastery.What you'll learn:Why nervous system awareness is foundational to both holistic coaching and life masteryHow shifting your patterns and habits becomes easier when you develop a deeper understanding of themThe importance of personalized alignment when creating a plan of action that works for youWhy a holistic coaching approach is so powerful professionally and personallyHow the two-track design of Master Coach Training meets you exactly where you are in your journeyYou can read the full show notes here.Connect with Molly ClaireJoin me on October 30th, 2025 for a live workshop on the productivity trap.

Why Jealousy Destroys Nice Guys (And How to Finally Stop It)You see her laugh at another guy's joke. Your stomach tightens. Your mind spirals. You start checking her phone, stalking her social media, asking the same questions over and over.And then comes the shame.Jealousy doesn't just ruin relationships — it hijacks your entire life. And for Nice Guys? It hits harder than most.In this raw and revealing episode, Faisal, Chuck, and Ari break down the real psychology behind jealousy — why it exists, why Nice Guys struggle with it more intensely, and how to stop letting it sabotage your love life.In this episode, we dive deep into:Why jealousy feels like an emotional prison you can't escapeThe three fractures jealousy exposes: ego, emotional, and sexualReal stories of jealousy gone wrong (including Faisal's polyamory experiment)The dangerous projection: "If I don't trust myself, how can I trust her?"Why trying to control your partner always backfiresThe concept of "compersion" — can you actually rewire jealousy?How polyamory sounds great in theory but rarely works in practiceThe critical mistake: Selecting women with your fractured ego instead of your wise selfWhy Nice Guys pick incompatible partners and then try to change themThe difference between healthy jealousy and destructive obsession (retroactive jealousy OCD)How to know yourself well enough to choose the right partnerHere's the truth: Feeling jealous is normal. Even extreme jealousy is a natural response. But what you DO with it determines whether it destroys you — or strengthens you.You can't convince your heart with your mind. You can't logic your way out of jealousy. But you CAN heal the fractures that make you vulnerable to it in the first place.This isn't about becoming emotionless. It's about building the self-security, boundaries, and wisdom to handle jealousy without letting it control you.Whether you're obsessing over her past, spiraling over who she's texting, or trapped in a cycle of control and shame — this episode will help you break free.Stop suffering in silence.

I'm super energized to have this conversation on the heels of the massive No Kings protests of October 18th. The greatest mass mobilization to date against authoritarianism in this country.At the same time, I also understand that it's really easy to feel overwhelmed with all of the bad things coming at us out of this administration. And how easy it is to feel like the actions of one person can't make that much of a difference. But in fact, nothing could be further from the truth.I was fortunate to be able to attend the huge protest in Washington DC on Saturday. Over 200,000 people were there. We filled Pennsylvania Avenue from steps from the capitol, all the way to the White House. It was extraordinary.How amazing is it that there were over 7 million people who turned all over the country. In big cities, of course – New York, LA, Chicago. Even more inspiring to me were the thousands of smaller cities and towns and even rural highways, where people showed up to make their voices heard. And to make it abundantly clear that they are not happy with what is happening. They're not happy with the authoritarian power grabs that are happening from 47 and his crew, the complacency of the Republicans in Congress just letting him do whatever he wants. The whole thing is wrong and everybody knows it. And they're standing up to say so. Part of what was so inspiring and exciting to me was the energy – of hope and determination and belief that by banding together and through the power of our collective action, we can slow down what is happening. We can eventually stop it and then begin to reverse it.The other thing that I so loved was the absolute joy that people were bringing. We all know it's kind of hard to feel joy with the unbelievably egregious actions from this administration damaging individuals and entire communities. You might even say it's unreasonable to feel joy in the face of that. But the source of the joy was from being in the presence of all of these thousands and thousands of people who are here to accomplish the same thing. Who believe passionately in reversing the terrible stuff that's going on and moving us all toward a much better day. That joyous, hopeful energy is so important and so instructive for how we can prevail.That, and taking concrete action… In this episode, we share:The biggest pitfalls that will take you out of your power, and how to avoid themThe one simple task that will put you on the path to powerful actionHow to leverage the power of collective action every dayHow to craft messaging that will engage a wider circle of people – even those who aren't paying much attention to what's going onHow to destabilize the pillars that prop up a would-be authoritarian regimeThree specific actions you can take as a nonprofit leader to make a big impact in this fight Help spread the word! If you found value in this episode, I'd be grateful if you would leave a review on iTunes or wherever you listen. Your reviews help other nonprofit leaders find the podcast. Thanks!!

Third-generation owner Travis Seeholzer came on the pod a few years back to trace the eight-decade arc from this dude flexing 10-foot-long kamikaze boards to the present:Just about every ski area in America was hacked out of the wilderness by Some Guy Who Looked Like That. Dave McCoy at Mammoth or Ernie Blake at Taos or Everett Kircher at Boyne Mountain, swarthy, willful fellows who flew airplanes and erected rudimentary chairlifts in impossible places and hammered together their own baselodges. Over decades they chiseled these mountains into their personal Rushmores, a life's work, a human soul knotted to nature in a built place that would endure for generations.It's possible that they all imagined their family name governing those generations. In the remarkable case of Boyne, they still do. But the Kirchers and the Seeholzers are ski-world exceptions. Successive generations are often uninterested in the chore of legacy building. Or they try and say wow this is expensive. Or bad weather leads to bad financial choices by our cigar-smoking, backhoe-driving, machete-wielding founder and his sons and daughters never get their chance. The ski area's deed shuffles into the portfolio of a Colorado Skico and McCoy fades a little each year and at some point Mammoth is just another ski area owned by Alterra Mountain Company.It's tempting to sentimentalize the past, to lament skiing's macro-transition from gritty network of founder-kingpin fifes to set of corporate brands, to conclude that “this generation” just doesn't have the tenacity of a Blake or a McCoy. But the America where a fellow could turn up with a dump truck and a chainsaw and flatten raw forest into a for-profit business with minimal protest is gone. Every part of the ski ecosystem is more regulated, complicated, and expensive than it's ever been. The appeal of running such a machine - and the skillset necessary to do so - is entirely different from that of sculpting your own personal snow Narnia from scratch. We will always have family-owned ski areas (we still have hundreds), and an occasional modern founder-disruptor like Mount Bohemia's Lonie Glieberman will materialize like a new X-man. But ski conglomerates have probably always been inevitable, and are probably largely the industry's future. They are best suited, in most cases, to manage, finance, and maintain the vast machinery of our largest ski centers (and also to create a ski landscape in which not all ski area operators are Some Guy Who Looked Like That).Killington demonstrates this arc from rambunctious founder to corporate vassal as well as any mountain in the country. Founded in 1958 by the wily and wild Pres Smith, the ski area's parent company, Sherburne Corp., bought Sunday River, Maine in 1973 and Mount Snow, Vermont in 1977. The two Vermont mountains became S-K-I in 1984, bought five more ski areas, and merged with four-resort LBO in 1996 to become the titanic American Skiing Company. Unfortunately ASC turned out to be skiing's Titanic, and one of the company's last acts before dissolution was to sell Killington and Pico to Utah-based Powdr in 2007.The Beast had been tamed, at least on paper. Corporate ownership of some sort felt as stapled to the mountain as Killington's 3,000 snowguns. And mostly, well, it didn't matter. Other than Powdr's disastrous attempts to shorten the resort's famously long seasons, Killington never lost its feisty edge. Over the decades the ski area modernized, masterplanned, and shed skier volume while increasing its viability as a business. Modern Killington wasn't the kingdom of a charismatic and ever-present founder, but it was a pretty good ski area.And then, suddenly, shockingly, Powdr sold both Killington and Pico last August. And they didn't sell the ski areas to Vail or Alterra or Boyne or to anyone who owned any ski areas at all. Instead, a group of local investors - led by Phill Gross and Michael Ferri, longtime Killington homeowners who ran a variety of non-ski-related businesses - bought the mountains. After 51 years as part of a multi-mountain ownership group, Killington (its relationship to neighboring Pico notwithstanding), was once again independent.It was all so improbable. Out-of-state operators had purchased five of Vermont's large ski areas in recent years: Colorado-based Vail Resorts bought Stowe in 2017, Okemo in 2018, and Mount Snow in 2019; Denver-based Alterra claimed Sugarbush in 2019; and Utah-based Pacific Group Resorts added Jay Peak to their small portfolio in 2022. Very few ski areas have ever entered the corporate matrix and re-emerged as independents. Grand Targhee, Wyoming; Waterville Valley, New Hampshire; and Mountain Creek, New Jersey (technically owned by multimountain operator Snow Partners) are exceptions spun off from larger companies. But mostly, once a larger entity absorbed a ski area, it stays locked in the multimountain universe forever.So what would this mean? For the largest and busiest mountain in the eastern United States to be independent? Did this, along with Powdr's intentions to sell Mount Bachelor (since rescinded), Eldora (sale in process), and Silver Star (no update), mark a reversal in the consolidation trend that had gathered 30 percent of America's ski areas under the umbrella of a multi-mountain operator? Did Killington's group of wealthy-but-not-Bezos-wealthy investors set an alternate blueprint for large-mountain ownership, especially when considered alongside the sale of Jackson Hole to a similar group the year before? Had the Ikon Pass – that harbinger of mass-market pass domination that had forced the we-better-join-them sales of Crystal Mountain, Washington and Sugarbush – inadvertently become a reliable revenue pipeline that made independence more viable? And would Killington, well-managed and constantly improving, backslide under cowboy owners who want to Q-Burke the place in their image?We're a year in now, and we have some clarity on these questions, along with two new chairlifts (Superstar this year, Snowdon next), 1,000 new snowguns, a revitalized Skyeship Gondola, and progressing plans on the East's first true ski village. Locals seem happy, management seems happy, the owners seem happy. Easy enough, Gross points out in our interview, when winter hits deep like the last one did. But can we keep the party going indefinitely? It was time for a check-in.What we talked aboutA strong first winter under independent ownership; what spring skiing off Canyon lift told us about the importance of Superstar; “it's an incredibly complex operation”; letting the smart people do their jobs; Killington's surprise spin-off from a multi-mountain operator; “our job is to keep the honeymoon going”; Superstar's six-pack upgrade; why six-packs are probably Killington's lift-upgrade future; why Pico is demolishing the Bonanza lift for a covered carpet; why Superstar won't have bubbles; where bubbles might make sense in a future lift; why ski areas can no longer run snowmaking under newly constructed chairlifts; why Superstar is a Doppelmayr machine after Killington installed a brand-new Leitner-Poma six at Snowdon in 2018; long- and short-term Superstar impacts to Killington's long season; long-term thoughts around early-season walkway access to North Ridge; Skyeship Gondola upgrades, including $5 million in new cabins; what 1,000 new snowguns means in practice; why Killington sold the Wobbly Barn; considering Killington as a business and investment; how Killington is a different financial beast from other Vermont ski areas; how close Killington was to going unlimited on Ikon Pass; Phill's journey to buying Killington; Devil's Fiddle and why sometimes things that don't make sense financially make sense anyway; “we want to own this for generations to come”; a village layout and timeline update – “we want to make sure that this is something that's additive to the ski experience” even if you don't own within it; “Great Gulf wants this [village] to be competitive for the western resorts”; “we don't want to change what Pico is”; how piping water over from Killington has reinvigorated and stabilized Pico; why Killington and Pico remained on Ikon Pass post-sale and probably will for the foreseeable future; is Ikon helping big ski areas stay independent?; Killington's steady rise in lift ticket prices; future lift upgrades and why the Snowdon Triple is next up for a replacement.What I got wrong* File “opinionation” under LOL I'm Dumb Talking Is Hard* I said that former Killington owner Powdr had “just sold” Eldora, but that's not accurate: in July, the town of Nederland, Colorado, announced their intent to purchase the ski area. The sales process is ongoing.Podcast NotesOn previous Killington podsOn Gross' purchase of Killington and PicoOn ANSI chairlift standardsWe get a bit in the weeds with a reference to “ANSI standards” for chairlifts. ANSI is the American National Standards Institute, a nonprofit organization that sets voluntary but widely adopted standards for everything from office furniture to electrical systems to safety signage in the United States. The ANSI standard for lifts, according to a blog post describing the code's 2022 update, is “developed by the National Ski Areas Association (NSAA), [and] establishes standard requirements for the design, manufacture, construction, operation, and maintenance of passenger ropeways.” On Killington's long seasonsKillington often opens in October (though it has not done so since 2018), and closes in June (three straight years before a deliberately truncated 2024-25 season to begin demolition of the Superstar chair).

This may be one of those episodes that could be considered controversial and I hope it does prompt questions. Dr. ChristopherKwon is a highly experienced cardiac surgeon whose practice in Lake Havasu, Arizona has brought him face-to-face with a growing number of patients living with symptomatic Myocardial Bridges.What made this conversation so compelling is Dr. Kwon's dual approach—he doesn't just perform the standard unroofing procedure. He also chooses to bypass the artery in the same operation, giving his patients the greatest chance for long-term relief, in his expert opinion. As he says, it's a “belts and suspenders” approach.We talk about everything related to the bridge unroofing procedure.The fear patients have around sternotomy,The diagnostic process including provocative testing,The reality of competitive flow in grafts,The insurance coding challenges that can delay care,And, perhaps most importantly, how critical it is to advocate for yourself.Whether you're a patient, a caregiver, or a provider trying to better understand this often-dismissed condition, I believe this episode can give you clarity, confidence, and hope.????

If you're the betrayed partner, you know what it's like to be hit with waves of emotion that feel impossible to control. One moment you're holding it together, and the next you're flooded with anger, grief, or fear. You may even wonder if you're too much—or if you're going crazy for reacting so strongly.And if you're the recovering partner, you know how unsettling it is to face these storms. You want predictability, calm, and a path forward, but instead you feel powerless and defensive. Both of you are left asking: Why does this keep happening, and what are we supposed to do with it?In this episode of From Crisis to Connection, Geoff and Jody pull apart this cycle so you can finally understand what's really happening underneath these reactions. They explore:Why betrayed partners' strong emotions are survival responses, not “overreactions”How shame fuels defensiveness and blame for the recovering partnerWhy this dynamic often gets mislabeled as a “marriage problem” instead of a betrayal issueThe different responsibilities of each partner in recovery—and why they're not the sameHow couples can begin to work with these emotions instead of against themThe key message: You're not crazy—you've been through something crazy. These strong emotions are a normal, human response to relational trauma. And when both partners can understand and lean into this truth, healing and connection can begin.______________________________Download the Free Resource: You, Me, Us - A Way Forward After BetrayalWhen betrayal has shaken your relationship, it can feel impossible to know where to begin.

Root canals. Bone grafting. Energy healing. Moon cycles. And a year without a back tooth.In this candid solo episode, I walk you through the full-circle story of undoing two old root canals, healing bone loss, navigating surgical dentistry, and doing it all in my own way—blending conventional medicine with Expansion Principle energy healing, crystal support, and loads of intuitive prep work. You'll hear:Why I chose to remove my root canals and what influenced my decisionHow I found the right providers (yes, plural) and vetted themThe difference between the two surgeries—and why one was way more challenging than the otherHow I used energy healing, moon phases, and herbal support to guide recoveryWhat this journey taught me about shame, teeth, motherhood, and self-trust
Have you ever wondered what really happens during a Reiki attunement? In this solo episode, I'm sharing my honest, unfiltered experience from my Reiki I & II attunement weekend—a journey that unlocked new layers of magic, healing, creativity, and self-trust that I never could have anticipated.From the moment I arrived, I realized this wasn't just about learning a modality—it was an invitation into deeper connection with myself. What unfolded included everything from channeling unexpected poetry during meditation, to experiencing profound energetic shifts, to even hearing my baby's name spoken to me in a way that defies explanation. These moments cracked me open and reminded me of the limitless ways our gifts can come alive when we release control and stay open to possibility.Throughout the weekend, I was confronted with the tender questions we all face on the path of growth: If I show the real me, will I still belong? Am I doing this “right”? What if my way doesn't look like anyone else's? Reiki offered me the chance to practice trusting myself in real time—and to discover that the most powerful thing we can do is embrace our unique way of experiencing and expressing energy, creativity, and truth.Whether you've been curious about Reiki, felt the call to explore your own intuitive gifts, or simply need encouragement to follow your curiosities into the unknown, this conversation will meet you where you are. My hope is that sharing my story reminds you that you don't need to have it all figured out—you just need the courage to take the next step and trust that what unlocks will be exactly what you need.If this episode resonates, I'd love to hear from you. Send me a message, share your reflections, or come join us inside the Coven, where conversations like these are the heartbeat of our community.In this episode, I explore:What a Reiki attunement weekend actually is and how Reiki differs from a traditional training or certificationThe powerful ways Reiki I & Reiki II attunement opened new portals of healing, intuition, and energy awarenessMy unexpected experience with automatic writing/scribing poetry during meditation (and why creativity sometimes comes alive in the most surprising ways)The wild moment I heard my baby's name and energy come through during a Reiki session—and what it taught me about listening, trusting, and letting go of expectationsHow Reiki revealed my natural connection to words, voice, and expression as part of my healing and leadership journeyWhy belonging and self-trust are such tender themes when you're revealing new parts of yourself—and how Reiki helped me explore themThe role of chakras, energy centers, and intuition in the Reiki process (shared in an accessible, beginner-friendly way)How Reiki reminded me that anyone can access energy healing and that your magic lies in your own way of experiencing itBe sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!Connect with Emily:Website: www.EmilyReuschel.comInstagram: @emilyreuschelFacebook: Emily ReuschelLinkedIn: Emily ReuschelJoin my Book Insiders List: Sign up here!Resources and Links:Jada...

Have you ever had a moment where being visible suddenly felt… dangerous?In this episode, I share a story I've never forgotten—from second grade, when I was the eager kid raising her hand… until my teacher said something that made me shrink. It was one sentence that planted a seed of shame and taught me that being seen might not be safe.That moment became what I now call a visibility wound—an early experience where being visible led to shame, rejection, or punishment. And the thing is: those wounds don't stay in childhood. They resurface every time we go to share something that feels vulnerable and meaningful.Whether it's launching an offer, posting on Instagram, speaking up in a meeting, or just sharing your voice in a group—you might notice fear, procrastination, or even total shutdown. That doesn't mean something is wrong with you. It means your nervous system is doing its job to protect you.But the good news is: visibility wounds can be healed. Not through pushing harder—but through compassion, safety, and gentle, consistent practice.In this episode, I talk about:What a visibility wound actually is (and how to spot yours)How it shows up in creative and professional lifeWhy these moments hit so hard—and how to work with themThe 4 tools I use with myself and my clients to move through fearHow visibility becomes easier when we stop going it aloneIf you've ever frozen at the first step, ghosted your own goals, or judged yourself for not being more confident—this episode is for you.

Most people think a website redesign is about swapping in some fresh colors, new photos, and fonts that feel “less 2012.” But as Rachel Seid explains, that's only the tip of the iceberg. What actually makes a site unforgettable — and profitable — comes down to how it looks, how it functions, how it feels, and what it communicates at first glance.In this episode, Rachel walks through her signature 4 “alities” framework and shows how those four layers completely transform the way a site performs. From design decisions that make a business instantly more relatable, to the subtle cues that communicate a brand's value proposition without a word — this is a crash course in building a website that works harder than you do.. . . . . . . . . . . . .⭐️ Love this episode?

Are you exhausted from the endless demands of running your private practice? Preventing burnout in your private practice doesn't require another complicated strategy or expensive solution. In today's episode, I'm sharing one surprisingly simple tool that's probably been right in front of you all along.While we often talk about raising fees and being intentional with scheduling, I want to get back to something even more basic, something so simple that most therapists overlook it completely. This practice takes just minutes, costs nothing, and can happen right between sessions. It's helped me stay grounded when the demands of running my own business feel overwhelming, and it's given me the clarity to make better business decisions when I feel stuck. I'll walk you through the exact exercise I used to teach my clients that you can now use for yourself.Plus, I'll share why this particular approach cuts through that feeling of being trapped in your private practice when nothing seems to be working anymore.Topics covered on Preventing Burnout in Your Private Practice:Why the simplest practices are often the most effective for preventing burnout in your private practice, even though we tend to overlook themThe specific sensory practice I used to teach my clients that now keeps me grounded in my own businessFeeling stuck in your practice might have nothing to do with your actual circumstancesThe connection between pleasure and creative problem-solving in your private practiceConnect with Felicia:Get my freebie & join the email list: The Magic SheetsInstagram: @the_bad_therapistWebsite: www.thebadtherapist.coachFacebook group: Healing MoneyResources from this episode:What Your Therapist Thinks podcastQuote:"Having these moments are going to make you feel like you are in your life instead of watching your life from afar." - Felicia

Burnout isn't a sign you're failing. It's proof the system was never designed for you to thrive. Especially if you belong to a historically oppressed identity.In this episode, Sarah talks with Amelia Nagoski, DMA—co-author of Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle—about what burnout really is, how to recognize it, and the ways we can begin to recover. Together they explore why rest is radical, why emotions are meant to be completed like cycles, and why true healing comes through collective care—not just individual fixes.You'll hear:How burnout differs from stress and exhaustionWhy “emotions are tunnels” and what happens when we get stuck inside themThe science behind the 42% rest rule—and what rest can actually look likeWhy the cure for burnout isn't self-care, but us caring for each otherPractical tools to complete the stress cycle and return your body to safetyMore on Amelia NagoskiAmelia Nagoski, D.M.A. (it stands for Doctorate of Musical Arts) is the co-author, with her sister Emily, of the New York Times bestselling Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle and the Burnout workbook.

In today's episode, I'm talking about validation, and why ignoring it isn't the answer - for yourself OR others. I was reminded of this lesson again in our own barnyard with one of our cows. When I shifted my approach and started acknowledging her nervousness instead of ignoring her (which made things worse), I could almost feel her settle.It's the same with people. We don't have to fully understand what someone's going through to validate them, and pushing down our own feelings doesn't make them disappear. When we acknowledge emotions—whether it's in a cow, a loved one, or ourselves—we create space for things to shift.If this resonates with you, I'm here for you. You can schedule a free consult call for 1:1 Good Movement Guidance, because you don't have to go at this alone!In this episode, I cover:Why validation doesn't mean agreement (and why that's a common misconception)My fresh story regarding how I validated an anxious cowThe 2 main approaches we often take with peopleWhy you don't have to fully understand what someone's going through to validate themThe power of self-validation + what it can look like in your daily life Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

Love the episode? Send us a text!In this special episode of Breast Cancer Conversations, host Laura Carfang speaks with Dr. Troso about the evolving role of DNA testing in breast cancer care. Together, they break down the three main types of testing:Hereditary genetic testing: Identifying inherited mutations such as BRCA1, BRCA2, and PALB2 (among others) that increase cancer risk and influence prevention and treatment decisions.Somatic (tumor) testing: Analyzing mutations within the tumor itself—such as PIK3CA or ESR1 mutations—to guide targeted therapies and manage resistance in advanced disease.Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) testing: Also known as a liquid biopsy, this emerging tool uses blood tests to detect cancer DNA fragments. It holds promise for monitoring recurrence, guiding treatment earlier, and advancing clinical trials.Tune into this Special!

That Anxiety Guy - Straight Talk And Help With Anxiety, Panic and Agoraphobia
Send in a question or comment via text.If you're struggling with anxiety disorders and constantly being told you need a positive mindset, stronger beliefs, and better motivation to recover, this episode is for you. I'm breaking down why these three concepts are tragically misunderstood and misapplied in anxiety recovery—and why they might actually be keeping you stuck.What You'll Learn:Why you can't just "decide" to believe in yourself or adopt a positive mindsetThe counterproductive fantasy that words will change how you think and feelWhy motivation follows action, not the other way aroundHow to work with your current negative beliefs instead of fighting themThe only "mindset" that actually matters in recoveryWhy it's normal (and okay) to doubt yourself and lack motivationEpisode Timestamps:[0:00 - 3:30] Introduction and why belief, mindset, and motivation advice often backfires[3:30 - 6:00] The fantasy that words will fix us and why we want to avoid difficult action[6:00 - 9:30] Where bad advice comes from and why helpers sometimes rely on oversimplified approaches[9:30 - 12:30] Why you can't manufacture beliefs, mindset, or motivation on demand[12:30 - 16:30] The reality: action comes before belief change, not after[16:30 - 19:00] The only mindset that matters: awareness over positivity[19:00 - 23:00] Why it's normal and okay to have negative beliefs and lack motivation[23:00 - 27:00] Challenging helpers who rely on "you just need to want it more"[27:00 - 29:30] Final thoughts and permission to be where you are right nowKey Takeaways:You don't need to wake up believing you're a warrior who can vanquish anxiety. You don't need a positive mindset or perfect motivation. What you need is willingness to take small risks and experiment with new behaviors, even when everything inside you is saying "don't do that." Recovery happens when you act anyway—despite doubt, fear, and negative beliefs.Remember: if you're struggling to "just think positive" or get motivated, that's not a character flaw. You're encountering advice that doesn't match how humans actually change and recover from anxiety disorders.For full show notes on this episode:https://theanxioustruth.com/324Support The Anxious Truth: If you find the podcast helpful and want to support my work, you can buy me a coffee.

When hard things happen to our children (our ourselves), our instinct is often to protect them from discomfort at all costs. But what if the goal isn't to shield them from difficult experiences, but to support them through those experiences in ways that build resilience? In this episode, I share a recent scary experience with my 5-year-old son getting industrial paint in his eye, and how understanding nervous system principles helped turn a potentially traumatic moment into an opportunity for connection and growth.In this episode, you'll learn:What happened when my son got industrial paint in his eyeHow fear and urgency can hijack our parenting in the momentThe three elements we need to feel safeHow to support nervous system repair after overwhelming experiencesWhy the goal isn't to protect our kids from hard things, but to support them through themThe three elements children need to feel safe during and after difficult experiences3 Takeaways:Hard experiences become traumatic when context, choice, and connection aren't available or restored afterward. Repair is more important than preventing ruptures.Co-regulation is your most powerful tool.
