Episode Summary In this episode, I'm sharing a conversation from Dr. Chris Magryta's podcast, Dr. M's Women and Children First Podcast, where he interviewed me about parenting, triggers, emotions, childhood wounds, and The Adult Chair model. We talk about what it means to become an emotionally healthy adult, why our children model what we do more than what we say, and how triggers can show us the unconscious beliefs and younger parts of ourselves that are ready to be healed. Chris and I also explore conscious parenting, co-regulation, self-worth, holding space, feeling emotions in the body, and why these emotional life skills belong not only in our homes, but in our schools and communities. Key Takeaways: The Adult Chair model helps us understand the parts of ourselves that react, feel, protect, and respond. Many adults are walking around in adult bodies while reacting from younger versions of themselves. Triggers are a gift because they reveal unconscious beliefs we may not otherwise see. Co-regulation begins when we are able to stay grounded while someone else is having an emotion. Parents do not need to fix every feeling their child has. They need to learn how to sit with them, listen, breathe, and hold space. Conscious parenting means trusting your child's path while giving them structure, guidance, space, and support. Self-worth is built by validating children for who they are, not only for what they do or how they perform. Social media can make comparison and self-worth struggles even harder for kids and adults. Emotions move through the body when we allow ourselves to feel them without building a story around them. Curiosity is one of the most powerful tools we can use with ourselves, our children, and our triggers.

What if the things that trigger you aren't simply problems to get rid of, but clues about what's happening beneath the surface? The situation that leaves you wondering, Why does this keep happening to me?In this episode of the InspirED Podcast, Andrea sits down with transformational speaker and corporate trainer Scott McKinley to explore how our triggers may reveal unconscious beliefs, interpretations, and habitual patterns that have been shaping our lives for years.Andrea and Scott explore how easily an old belief can become an interpretation, an interpretation can create an emotional response, and that response can influence our behavior before we've consciously examined what's actually happening.That's why Scott believes our triggers can become teachers.Because transformation doesn't happen once.It happens in the moment when the old reaction appears, and you recognize that you have another choice....CHAPTERS00:47 Introduction to Transformation and Change02:23 Scott's Journey to Coaching09:55 Understanding the Law of Attraction17:16 Recognizing Patterns and Triggers21:46 Building a Relationship with the Subconscious Mind26:35 The Illusion of Free Will and Automatic Thinking27:37 Neuroplasticity and Rewiring the Mind29:14 Triggers and the Power of Agency30:11 Accessing and Understanding Past Wounds33:13 Compassion and Self-Love as Foundations for Change36:15 Shifting Identities and Timelines41:16 The Observer Effect in Personal Growth47:21 Meditation as a Tool for Transformation49:57 Creating an Enlightened Society Through Self-Love51:20 Creating Your Own Reality52:07 Deep Dive Realignment VIP Day...RESOURCES ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠About Scott McKinleyTransformational speaker and corporate trainer who helps individuals, leaders, and organizations identify unconscious beliefs and habitual patterns through his Hidden Settings framework.Website Contact Scottcoachscottmckinley@gmail.comA Note About Concepts Discussed in This EpisodeThis conversation blends psychology-related concepts such as metacognition and neuroplasticity with spiritual and personal-development frameworks including the Law of Attraction, manifestation, “timeline shifting,” and the idea that thoughts create reality.

If you still get anxious when someone pulls away, does that mean you haven't healed?"Heal your nervous system" gets thrown around constantly, and almost nobody explains what it actually means. So in Part 2 of this series, I'm breaking it down in plain language, in the context of your attachment style and your real relationships. I've spent years living in disorganized attachment, and I've helped over a thousand people become securely attached. Here's what I know: secure attachment was never about becoming permanently zen. It's something far more doable, and far more freeing.Inside the Episode:The two words that should replace "stay calm" as your healing goalWhy your partner's support might be making you feel worse (and what the research says about it)The one question to ask after you get triggered that shows you exactly how far you've comeReady to start rewiring? Identity Reset is my daily practice mini-course that helps you show up as your secure self, one morning at a time. Grab it here!Want to go deeper with me personally?

When your child's behavior pushes your buttons, it can be hard to stay calm. Why Your Child's Behavior Triggers You So Much And How to Stop Reacting explores the nervous system behind reactivity, with Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge's Regulation First Parenting™ expertise.Have you ever snapped at your child and immediately wondered, “Why did that upset me so much?” Their behavior may be activating your own nervous system before your thinking brain has a chance to respond.In this episode, let me explain how to break the reactivity cycle. You'll learn how to pause, regulate, and respond with more calm and connection instead of reacting from overwhelm.Why does my child's behavior trigger me so much?When your child rolls their eyes, talks back, melts down, or completely loses it, your nervous system may interpret the behavior as disrespect, danger, manipulation, or failure. Suddenly, you're flooded—and responding from your own dysregulation.This doesn't mean you're a bad parent. Your reactions may be connected to old stress patterns, childhood experiences, beliefs about how children “should” behave, or simply being completely maxed out.Notice what your child's behavior brings up in you.Ask, “Is this actually a threat, or does it feel like one?”Remember: behavior is often a signal of dysregulation.Why does my child melt down at home but behave at school?Some children hold everything together at school because they are coping, masking, or trying hard to appear “fine.” Then they come home to the place where they feel safest—and everything falls apart.That can feel personal. But your child isn't necessarily doing this to you. They may be releasing an overloaded nervous system in the environment where they finally feel safe enough to let go.Look at patterns instead of taking the behavior personally.Notice what happens before the meltdown.Remember that home may be your child's safe place, not the cause of the problem.How can I stop reacting when my child is dysregulated?You cannot effectively co-regulate your child while your own nervous system is highly activated. The goal isn't to never get triggered. It's to create space between the trigger and your reaction.I want to emphasize the importance of love pause: a simple three-second pause to breathe or regulate before responding. You might use a heart hug, humming, tapping, or another calming strategy that works for you.Pause before yelling or lecturing.Notice: “My body is activated right now.”Take three seconds—or longer if you need it.Then connect, teach, and correct from a calmer state.Real-life example: Your child starts melting down over something that seems tiny. Instead of matching their intensity, you pause, breathe, regulate, and then respond. That small pause can change what happens next.Yelling less and staying calm isn't about being perfect—it's about having the right tools.Join the Dysregulation Insider VIP list and get your FREE Regulation Rescue Kit, designed to help you handle oppositional behaviors without losing it.Download it now at www.drroseann.com/newsletterCan I break the cycle of reactive parenting?Yes. The nervous system learns through repetition. Every time you interrupt an automatic reaction and practice regulation, you create a different response pattern.Calm is contagious. Dysregulation is contagious, too. When parents become calmer, children have more opportunity to feel safe and regulate themselves.

You guys, Wendy Speake is back!Wendy first joined me way back on Episode 99 to talk about The 40-Day Feast, and almost 300 episodes later, we are sitting down again to talk about her newest book, A Sacrifice of Praise and Thanksgiving: 30 Days of Rejoicing in God's Goodness.And this conversation challenged me in the best way. How often do we come to God with our list?God, help me.God, fix this.God, provide.God, change this situation.There is absolutely nothing wrong with asking God for what we need. But what might happen in our hearts if, for a season, we set down the asking and simply focused on who God is and why He is worthy of our praise?Wendy and I talk about her “Ask Fast,” choosing praise when it doesn't come naturally, walking honestly through life, resisting the temptation to spiritually bypass our pain, and why authenticity matters in our relationship with God.We also talk about gratitude in seasons of loss, the importance of community, and how Scripture can reorient our hearts when circumstances haven't changed.One of my favorite reminders from this conversation?If all you have is Jesus, anchor there.Whether praise is overflowing today or it takes every bit of strength you have to offer it, God is still worthy.Listen now to this episode of the Anchored by the Sword Podcast.Bio:Whether on the stage or on the page, Wendy Speake ministers to women's hearts through storytelling and biblical life application.

This is the second in a 3-part series where I'm sharing the top three books that have changed my life. Last week I talked about the book A Failure of Nerve by Edwin Friedman. This week I will talk about Altogether You by Jenna Remiersma. And next week…well, you'll have to come back then to hear me talk about a VERY controversial book in conservative Christian circles, but WOW did it absolutely do a number on my chronic fear, shame, and anger. But for now - let's dive into a book that helped me make sense of the contradictory thoughts I struggled with every single day. “I can totally do this!” “I could NEVER DO THAT!” See what I mean? Get Today's Free Resource:

A frustrating interaction can last for seconds, but the anger it creates can follow us for hours. Joe Rockey opens this episode with a very modern example: getting increasingly angry at AI when it gives an obviously wrong answer. The deeper issue, though, has nothing to do with technology. It is what happens when frustration becomes a story—“nothing is going my way,” “everything is going wrong,” or “this always happens to me”—and that story begins shaping the rest of the day.Father Boniface Hicks connects the experience to road rage and other situations where we attribute intentionality or injustice to something that cannot actually intend to harm us. His practical advice is simple: don't give away your peace. Feelings can arise spontaneously, so we should not shame ourselves for having them. But we can create space between the feeling and the reaction—take a breath, step back, clarify what is actually happening, and choose what happens next.The episode then goes deeper into the mechanics of anger. Before the feeling becomes a reaction, there is often an expectation that was not met and a story we are telling ourselves about what that means. Maybe the AI did not “fail” so much as misunderstand an underspecified request. Maybe being two minutes late is not actually a crisis. Maybe the person in front of us at the grocery store is simply having a human interaction that takes a little longer. Once we identify the expectation and the story underneath the anger, we have something we can actually examine and change.The practical homework is straightforward: find your triggers, identify your story, and check whether that story is true. With greater self-awareness—and with trusted people willing to hold up a mirror—we can catch the “smoke alarm” earlier. That creates room for surrender, perspective, and a return to peace before one frustrating moment spills into our relationships, work, and relationship with God.Key IdeasDon't give away your peace: frustration may be unavoidable, but escalating it is not.Anger can create a false background narrative—“nothing is going my way”—that causes us to search for evidence supporting the mood.Put space between the feeling and the reaction: breathe, step back, clarify, and reset.Look for the unmet expectation beneath the anger, then examine the story you are telling yourself about it.Self-awareness grows through practice and through trusted people who can help us notice our warning signs before we spiral.Links & ReferencesNone explicitly referenced with a clear official/source link in this episode.CTA: If this helped, please leave a review or share this episode with a friend.Questions or thoughts?

In this episode, we explore one of the most haunting lines from Kurt Cobain's suicide note: “Why don't you just enjoy it?” and the devastating response: “I don't know.” We unpack why human beings struggle to feel joy through the lenses of neuroscience, psychology, evolution, trauma, addiction, overstimulation, and modern culture. From dopamine and cortisol to loneliness, achievement addiction, and the pressure to perform happiness, this episode examines why so many people feel disconnected from their own lives — and what history, philosophy, pop culture, and human connection reveal about truly feeling alive.Topics include:Why the brain adapts to pleasure and noveltyThe difference between stimulation and fulfillmentTrauma, stress, and the nervous system's impact on joyEvolutionary reasons humans struggle with contentmentWhy modern life can make us spectators instead of participantsThe role of relationships, meaning, awe, and shared strugglePop culture references from Nirvana to Black Mirror to Ted LassoHow to reconnect with ordinary moments and meaningful experiencesWhat we might say to someone who can't “just enjoy it”Thrive With Leo Coaching: If you want to reduce your psychological pain, regain your purpose and forge your own path, go to www.thrivewithleo.com to begin your journey.If you or anyone you know is considering suicide or self-harm, or is anxious, depressed, upset, or needs to talk, there are people who want to help:In the US: Crisis Text Line: Text CRISIS to 741741 for free, confidential crisis counseling.

A key theme that emerged was the influence of hidden psychological triggers—such as trust, simplicity, placement of CTAs, and personalization—on driving purchases and conversions. The discussion explored why focusing on consumer outcomes, using keywords aligned with search intent, and maintaining clear, concise messaging at a 5th-grade reading level are essential for maximizing website conversion rates. Several points were raised, including the importance of fast-loading, visually optimized pages with above-the-fold CTAs, minimal form fields, and tailored button text, all of which can significantly improve user experience and reduce friction. Proven strategies such as benchmarking against industry conversion rates, budgeting to avoid impulse purchases, and making sites accessible were also highlighted, offering actionable insights for marketers and business owners aiming to enhance their digital sales funnels.Who Is This For?The conversation focused on business owners, entrepreneurs, marketers, and anyone seeking to increase online sales and improve their website conversions. It is especially relevant for those interested in understanding the hidden psychological triggers that influence consumer buying behavior. Whether running an e-commerce shop, developing landing pages, or offering professional services, these insights aim to help optimize the digital customer journey and drive measurable results.Key Moments & TimestampsIntroduction to Psychological Triggers & Setting the Stage 00:00:05The Importance of First 5 Seconds & Above the Fold Content 00:05:50The Power of Keywords and Messaging for Trust 00:17:29Impact of Simplicity: 5th-Grade Reading Level Copy 00:24:48Median Conversion Rate Benchmarks & Short Copy Benefits 00:30:33Importance of Above the Fold & CTA Placement 00:41:37Sales Cycles Based on Deal Size 00:47:13Budgeting to Avoid Buyer's Remorse 00:55:55Checkout/Lead Form Field Optimization 01:00:14Personalized vs. Generic Calls to Action 01:02:22Accessibility & Decision Fatigue 01:05:035 Key Points1️⃣ First Impressions Make or Break SalesA key theme that emerged was the importance of the first 5 seconds—60% of users won't scroll past the top of a page. If your hook isn't clear and outcome-focused, they bounce.You have FIVE SECONDS to show them their dream, not your bio. 06:122️⃣ Keep It Simple, Keep Them BuyingThe discussion explored the power of simple sales copy. Pages written at a 5th-grade level convert up to 110% better than 8th-grade+ text. Every extra syllable or convoluted word? That's friction, not persuasion. 25:463️⃣ Above-the-Fold Buttons = 317% More ConversionsOne concept discussed was the impact of “above the fold.” Place your #1 call-to-action before users need to scroll. This alone can boost conversions by 317%. Let them click before they have time to second-guess! 41:58For more support, listeners are encouraged to book a 30-minute discovery call, or subscribe to upcoming training and resources.4️⃣ Less Friction = More MoneySeveral points were raised, including the number of form fields at checkout. Reduce to five or less, and conversion rates climb 120%. Every extra field is a potential lost customer. 01:00:145️⃣ Personalize Your CTAsPersonalized Call-To-Action buttons (“Grab your spot”, “Claim your bag”) outperform generic “Buy Now” by 202%. The little words you choose make a BIG difference in how ready people are to say yes. 01:02:46Bonus: Trust Is the Real CurrencyA central piece: none of this matters without trust. Fast-loading pages, relevant keywords, clear copy—all build micro-trust.

The Hidden Power of the SubconsciousWhat if some of the behaviors, fears, habits, and emotional patterns we struggle with aren't controlled entirely by our conscious mind?In this thought-provoking episode of The Raw Vibe Podcast, Chuck Tuck sits down with Nelson Whiting of No Limits Hypnotherapy for a fascinating conversation about hypnotherapy, the subconscious mind, belief systems, triggers, addiction, compulsive behaviors, self-acceptance, personal growth, and the connection between our mental and physical states.Nelson explains how he approaches subconscious patterns and why simply knowing that we need to change doesn't always translate into changing our behavior. The conversation explores how triggers and associations can influence habits, how deeply held beliefs can shape our identity, and how changing the way we understand ourselves may influence the way we respond to the world around us.We also dive into what actually happens during hypnosis, the neuroscience and altered states associated with hypnosis, spiritual perspectives on the mind, and the role that faith, grace, and a higher power can play in personal transformation.Nelson shares examples from his work and discusses his approach to creating change in as little as 1–3 sessions, as well as the importance of testing and reinforcing new patterns.Most importantly, this conversation isn't simply about hypnosis. It's about understanding ourselves—why we develop certain patterns, why we sometimes fight against the very changes we want, and how self-love, self-acceptance, and a growth mindset can become part of the journey.00:22 — The role of triggers and belief systems in addiction01:41 — The science behind hypnosis and altered states03:32 — Neuroscience and spiritual views on the mind05:34 — Working with the subconscious to change behavior07:30 — Case studies: overcoming compulsive behaviors10:40 — The importance of self-acceptance and internal energy13:28 — Triggers, associations, and how habits form16:16 — The power of belief systems and changing core identities18:36 — Rapid change in 1–3 sessions and success rates22:23 — The paradox of subconscious protection and change24:44 — The role of faith, higher power, and grace34:46 — Practical tools: accessing and reprogramming the subconscious44:58 — The importance of self-love, self-acceptance, and a growth mindset49:25 — The physical effects of mental states and self-criticism54:33 — Conclusion: Empowerment through understanding the mindLearn more about Nelson Whiting and No Limits Hypnotherapy:No Limits HypnotherapyYou can also visit the website to learn more about their approach, available programs, testimonials, and consultation options.If you enjoyed this conversation, subscribe to The Raw Vibe Podcast, leave a comment, and share this episode with someone who might find the conversation valuable.Have you ever wondered whether your subconscious mind is influencing your behavior more than you realize?Watch the episode.

Have you ever had an emotional reaction that felt completely out of proportion to what was happening? One minute you're fine, and the next you're angry, overwhelmed, shutting down, or snapping at someone you love—and you have absolutely no idea why. Sometimes your nervous system gets triggered before your conscious mind understands what's happening. In this deeply personal episode of The Sacred Momentum, Aubrey Bahr shares how a tragic experience unexpectedly activated an old abandonment wound, leaving her emotionally overwhelmed, physically exhausted, and experiencing a migraine. Despite years of experience in somatic healing, nervous system regulation, and emotional processing, she didn't immediately recognize what was happening inside her. It wasn't until her husband offered reassurance and emotional safety that she began to understand the deeper fear beneath her reaction. We're exploring nervous system dysregulation, subconscious emotional triggers, abandonment wounds, and the powerful role of emotional safety in relationships. You'll learn why seemingly small situations can provoke intense emotional responses, how past experiences can influence your body's stress response, and why even people who have done extensive healing work can still experience unexpected triggers. We'll also explore co-regulation—how feeling emotionally safe with a supportive partner can help you process difficult emotions, recognize old patterns, and reconnect with yourself without shame. In this episode, we explore: Why your nervous system can react before you consciously recognize an emotional trigger. How past abandonment experiences can influence present-day emotional responses. The connection between emotional overwhelm, stress, anger, and physical symptoms. Why nervous system regulation doesn't mean you'll never experience dysregulation again. How emotional safety, secure relationships, and co-regulation can support healing. How to recognize when your reaction is about something deeper than the situation in front of you. Why healing isn't about emotional perfection—it's about building the capacity to experience difficult feelings and return to connection. Whether you're navigating anxiety, emotional triggers, relationship challenges, old abandonment wounds, or your own nervous system healing journey, this episode is a reminder that you don't always have to understand your emotions immediately—or process them entirely on your own. Sometimes healing begins when you finally feel safe enough to feel. Join Aubrey for an honest conversation about somatic healing, subconscious emotional patterns, nervous system regulation, and what becomes possible when we experience genuine emotional safety in our relationships. The Sacred Momentum with Aubrey Bahr explores personal growth, emotional healing, nervous system awareness, subconscious patterns, and creating a life rooted in authenticity and self-trust.

Sometimes it's the little moments that overwhelm us more than the big, scary ones. The "whatever" muttered under their breath, the stash of snack wrappers under the bed, or they flatly deny something you're 99% sure they did. Sure, these things are frustrating, and it makes sense you'd have a reaction- but for some reason, you find yourself in zero to fury before you even had a chance to think. It can feel so perplexing. There was no meltdown, no real crisis- why is the reaction oh so big? This episode digs into why…and what those $5-reaction, 50-cent-problem moments are actually pointing to.In this episode, you will learn:Why implicit memory isn't just about never forgetting to ride a bike. It's also somatic, relational, and emotional, impacting the reactions we have to all the things that are happeningHow old beliefs (mental models) don't just interpret what's happening; they actually predict it and sometimes even help create itA closer look at the specific mental models - some from parenting, some from being parented - that might be connected to some of your biggest reactionsCurious which of these beliefs might be yours?

Automatic Thoughts: Turning Everyday Triggers Into Insurance Cross-SalesMatt Dietz of Agency Launch explains how insurance agency owners can find “business everywhere” by training automatic thoughts (triggers) that connect common life events to relevant products and conversations. He gives examples like marriage, having a baby, buying a car, kids going to college, buying a puppy, owning a business, or turning 65, and ties them to opportunities such as life, home, auto, renters, pet, commercial, Medicare, and umbrella coverage. He recommends practicing with the team using flashcard/Family Feud-style drills by pulling up random client accounts and quickly identifying cross-sell angles (e.g., home-only to auto via discounts, auto-only to renters/home, high-premium auto to add life/renters to trigger savings). He emphasizes setting this expectation on day one and promoting resources via text and agencylaunch.net.00:00 Welcome to Agency Launch00:19 Grab the Free Resources00:51 Automatic Thoughts and Triggers01:10 Business Is Everywhere Mindset02:40 Life Events That Signal Sales04:26 Medicare and Age Opportunities04:54 Train Your Team to Cross Sell06:16 Discount Scripts and Bundles08:30 Build the Flashcard Muscle10:09 Set Expectations From Day One10:41 Wrap Up and Next Steps

1799 OHIO RIVERYellow Creek Massacre Triggers Frontier BloodshedRobert G. Parkinson, author of Heart of American Darkness: Bewilderment and Horror on the Early Frontier, Part One: In April 1774, settlers murdered eight Mingo men, women, and children at Baker's Bottom near Yellow Creek. Mingo Chief James Logan wrongly blamed Colonel Thomas Cresap and his son Michael for the massacre, though neither was present. Speculation over the Ohio River country by Virginia elites like George Washington and the Cresap family, combined with boundary disputes between Pennsylvania and Virginia, created power vacuums on the frontier. Following the brutal murders—which included Logan's mother, brother, and pregnant sister—Logan launched retaliatory raids across the region, killing nearly twenty settlers. After Lord Dunmore's War forced native groups to sue for peace, Logan delivered his famous "Logan's Lament" via translator John Gibson, declaring his personal vengeance satisfied and offering peace.

1642 HOUSES DURING CHARLES IRoyal Arrest Attempt Triggers English WarJonathan Healey, Part Two: On January 4, 1642, King Charles I attempted to arrest five MPs and Lord Mandeville for treason. Pushed by Queen Henrietta Maria, Charles personally entered the House of Commons with armed cavaliers. However, Lady Carlisle had leaked the plot, enabling the members to escape by boat down the Thames into London. Hostile crowds surrounded Charles's coach, throwing pamphlets with the biblical call "To your tents, O Israel." Fearing for their safety, Charles and Henrietta Maria fled Whitehall for Hampton Court. The Queen departed for continental Europe to raise funds and troops, while Charles established a royalist court in York. Parliament passed the radical Militia Ordinance without royal assent, claiming sovereign control over the military. When the governor of Hull barred Charles from accessing his armory, both sides began mobilizing armed forces, plunging England into civil war. (2)

In this episode, I take on something that feels automatic but never actually is: emotional eating, binge eating, and nighttime snacking. These behaviors feel like they just "happen" — but I want to show you that they follow a pattern, step by step, like a movie you can learn to watch and eventually interrupt.It's Not Random — It's a TriggerWhether it's stress, frustration, sadness, boredom, or loneliness, emotional eating and nighttime snacking are responses to a specific trigger. Triggers come through our five senses — a conversation, a smell, something we see or touch — and once they fire, they set off a whole downloaded pattern, step by step by step.What Makes an Emotion "Dysregulated"A dysregulated emotion is simply one you can't manage or sit with in a healthy way — one you avoid, distract from, or that produces a reaction so big it affects your relationships, your work, or your goals. This isn't a personal flaw. Maybe you were never taught how to manage these emotions as a child. Maybe you were told feeling them was weakness. Maybe a traumatic experience taught you that you needed a coping mechanism just to survive the discomfort.The Missing Piece in Every Weight Loss ConversationIf you've dieted your whole life and ridden the same 10+ pound roller coaster over and over, I want to be direct: it is not a discipline problem, and it's not that you don't know what to eat. What's actually happening is a nervous system issue — you're locked in what I call protection mode, and you are easily triggered.The Loaded Gun AnalogyThink of a trigger like a loaded gun: a buildup of emotions, thoughts, and unconscious beliefs, attached to certain coping behaviors — and the moment something pulls that trigger, the whole pattern fires automatically. Find the trigger, and you can start to interrupt the pattern before it fires.Awareness Changes EverythingOnce you become aware of your trigger, you can't become unaware again. What once felt automatic now plays out like a movie you can actually watch — and that awareness alone is often the first step in unraveling the pattern. This is typically where real shifts start to happen, within about a month of doing this work.Two Nervous System StatesProtection mode — where the body favors fat storage and becomes stubborn regardless of effort. Marked by fear, anxiety, doubt, shame, blame, and guilt.Safety mode — where the body can actually let go. Marked by calm, appreciation, gratitude, peace, joy, fulfillment, excitement, and acceptance.Your thoughts and emotions decide which state you're in — which means your "diet" is no longer just about food and movement. It's about what you're feeling, moment to moment.The Real Work (Without Judgment)Emotions like sadness, fear, anger, and joy aren't problems to eliminate — they're messages. Learning to regulate your nervous system means learning to sit with these emotions, release unconscious beliefs, and let the wave pass instead of numbing it. And this all starts with one simple, judgment-free question: what percentage of your time are you actually spending in protection mode versus safety mode?Share Your Takeaway!

Welcome back to Blended! Today, we're talking about religion. Religion is one of the most personal aspects of our identity, yet it's often one of the least discussed topics in the workplace. While many organizations have made progress on diversity and inclusion, religious identity is still frequently overlooked. And that's understandable. Conversations about faith can feel sensitive and complicated. But avoiding them doesn't make religious diversity disappear. Instead, it can lead to misunderstanding, exclusion, and missed opportunities to build truly inclusive workplaces. The reality is that people don't leave their beliefs and values at the door when they come to work. For many, faith shapes how they make decisions, interact with others, and see the world. It also intersects with culture, ethnicity, gender, and other aspects of identity, making inclusion far more nuanced than a one-size-fits-all approach. So, what does meaningful religious inclusion actually look like? Today, a brand new panel will be diving into understanding religion in the workplace, the common misconceptions, how religious identity influences the way people show up at work, why it's important that organizations don't overlook religion, and exactly how organizations can create workplaces where people feel respected, while balancing business needs. IN THIS EPISODE: [01.33] Introductions to our Blended panelists.  Talyn – Public Identity Expert, and Host and Executive Producer of The Fairy BOSSmother Naomi – Corporate Marketing Communications and Content Manager Dave – Host of The Teaching Journeys Podcast and Adjunct Professor at Utica University Abby – Senior Material Planner at Ferrara and content creator [06.11] The group explore the understanding of religious identity at work, why it's important that organizations don't overlook it, and how religious identity influences the way people show up. Naomi's experience as a white Jewish woman in the workplace Bias Stereotypes Religion impacting the way people see you/interact Talyn's experience as a practicing Muslim Visibility/exposure Religious hurt Dave's experience of rejecting childhood religion People's religion being 'forced' onto others in the workplace Abby's experience of becoming a Christian as an adult Triggers/emotional sensitivity Level of comfort Isolation Asking permission/boundaries Private vs public Respect Curiosity 'Walking on eggshells' Personal relationships  Self-advocacy Religious holidays Navigating differing levels of religious observance Size of organization Politicization of 'Merry Christmas' or 'Happy Holidays' Finding the balance "Religion and faith has the potential to shape someone's world view. So to completely overlook it is to overlook the core person, their values and beliefs. Looking at religion is an opportunity to understand the people you work with." Abby  "We need to position ourselves in a place of curiosity and wanting to learn, as opposed to questions that could be interpreted as judgmental or inviting antagonism." Dave  "Nobody wants a target on their back, or a spotlight, when they're talking about this. Being discrete is important, knowing when it's the right time and place. It's a bit of a dance… But, when somebody needs something, they should be able to advocate for themselves." Talyn  [01.04.30] The panel share common misconceptions and misunderstandings around religion in the workplace, and how to tackle them. Impact of broader societal events, eg. War How religion is talked about in the media Labels Assumptions     Leaders not feeing 'qualified' to have the right conversations  Role of leadership Identity Religion is just one lens to be viewed through  Allyship Intersectionality Outward appearance "People are complicated. Christians or Muslims aren't a monolith so, when it comes to religion in the media, I'm very conscious of representation. But I don't want to approach it defensively, I want there to be room for nuance – disagreement is good." Talyn "Common misconceptions are that your outward appearance reflects your religious expression, or that your religion has a direct correlation to your vote and political affiliation." Abby  [01.25.01] The group sum up their thoughts from today's discussion.  "You don't owe the world every version of you. Decide what belongs to you, what belongs to the people you love – and then decide what you're willing to let the world experience from you."

Have you ever wondered why motherhood can bring out emotions you didn't even know were there? One minute you can feel completely in love with your kids, and the next you're angry, overwhelmed, guilty, or wondering why something that seems so small is affecting you so deeply. In this episode, Whitney talks with Dr. Angele Close, a clinical psychologist and certified IFS therapist, about matrescence, the emotional and psychological transformation that happens when we become mothers, and why so many of us aren't given the language to understand what we're going through.   Dr. Close shares her own experience of becoming a mother and realizing that being a therapist didn't make her immune to the challenges of motherhood. Through major life changes, grief, moving from Canada to the U.S., and the uncertainty of the pandemic, she found herself confronting emotions and reactions she didn't always understand. She eventually discovered Internal Family Systems, or IFS, which helped her understand the different parts of us that show up to protect us when we feel stressed, overwhelmed, or hurt. Whitney and Dr. Close also talk about mom guilt, the pressure to be a "good mom," and why some of our biggest reactions with our kids may be pointing us toward parts of ourselves that need more attention and compassion.   This conversation offers a different way to look at the hard parts of motherhood. Dr. Close shares how getting curious about our emotions can help us feel calmer, more connected and compassionate with ourselves and our kids.   Here's what you can look forward to in this episode: What matrescence is and why motherhood can feel like such a major internal shift Angel's unexpected journey into motherhood Why motherhood can bring up anger, guilt, shame, and overwhelm How Internal Family Systems (IFS) can help us understand our reactions The pressure to be a "good mom" and where mom guilt comes from How motherhood can bring unhealed parts of ourselves to the surface What "self-energy" means and how to cultivate more calm, compassion, and connection Simple ways to reconnect with yourself through mindfulness, nature, and creativity How our inner work can impact our connection with our children   Learn more about 1:1 coaching with Whitney - book a 15-minute Spark Session   Connect with Whitney: Instagram l Website l 5 Days to Less Stress, More Satisfaction l Tend to Your Soul Toolkit l 10 Soulful Journaling Prompts | Electric Ideas Podcast   Connect with Dr. Close: Instagram | Website | Book: Unburdening Motherhood

Dr. Nicole Rambo and Sarah talk all about cribbing, which is a common horse behavior that is often linked to stress and may become an addictive coping habit. In this episode, they explain how cribbing differs from wood chewing and clear up myths about ulcers, “sucking air,” and horses copying each other. They also look at possible links to genetics, gut bacteria, and certain types of colic. Finally, they discuss practical ways to manage cribbing through better forage, lower stress, and understanding each horse's triggers.

And he was creative in how he dispensed his touch. (To Die In The Old West) *** Charles Howard Schmid Jr. charmed and befriended the teenagers of Tucson, Arizona in the 1960s — all while brutally murdering three young girls. (The Pied Piper of Tuscon) *** One of the lesser-known crytpids is something called the Hidebehind, a mysterious creature that stalked 19th-century lumberjacks, preying on those who let their guard down in the forest. (The Hidebehind) *** Brianna Maitland left her dishwashing job and was never seen alive again. Despite various theories and sightings, Brianna's disappearance continues to baffle investigators and haunt her family, who still hold out hope for answers and her safe return. (The Vanishing of Brianna Maitland) *** In 1906, explorer Robert Peary claimed to have discovered a mysterious island he named Crocker Land, but was it a genuine find, a calculated deception, or something even more bizarre? (The Myth of Crocker Island) *** Lyndia Morel's quiet drive home took a chilling turn when she encountered a mysterious craft and experienced a baffling episode of missing time. Was it a case of alien abduction? (The Lyndia Morel Incident) *** In May of 1963, a bizarre creature terrorized Centreville, Illinois, prompting over 50 calls to the police from alarmed residents.

Thyroid health in menopause can be the missing piece behind the fatigue, weight changes, brain fog, and “why isn't my old routine working anymore?” frustration so many women experience after 40. Is it menopause, your thyroid, stress, or a combination of all three? In this episode, Dr. Eric Osansky breaks down the difference between hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, Hashimoto's, and Graves' disease—and why your symptoms may deserve a closer look. You'll learn why TSH alone may not tell the whole story, how hormones and everyday exposures can affect thyroid function, and what testing, nutrition, and lifestyle changes may help. If you're navigating thyroid health in menopause, this conversation will help you connect the dots and take a smarter next step. My Guest: Dr. Eric Osansky is a chiropractor, clinical nutritionist, and a certified functional medicine practitioner who has been helping people with hyperthyroidism and Hashimoto's since 2009. He is the author of the books "Natural Treatment Solutions for Hyperthyroidism and Graves' Disease", "The Hyperthyroid Healing Diet", and "Hashimoto's Triggers", and is the host of the Save My Thyroid podcast. Dr. Osansky was personally diagnosed with Graves' disease in 2008 and was able to restore his health through a natural approach, and since then has helped other reverse their hyperthyroidism and Hashimoto's condition through his SAVED Thyroid framework. Questions We Answer in This Episode: [00:05:38] Why is thyroid function so important for metabolism and overall health? [00:06:19] What made you focus on thyroid health—and what can your Graves' disease journey teach us? [00:09:00] What are the myths and truths about thyroid dysfunction?  [00:20:55] Why do thyroid issues seem more common during midlife and menopause?  [00:23:50] What everyday habits and exposures may contribute to thyroid dysfunction?  [00:33:36] Can thyroid function improve with lifestyle changes—even after starting medication? Can thyroid medication be reduced or discontinued—and what options should women know about?

Motherhood changes everything—and not just in the ways we expect. While welcoming a child can bring immense joy, it also stirs up unseen emotions, hidden wounds, and internal struggles with guilt, shame, and the daunting pressure to "get it all right." Far from the sugar-coated images often seen on social media, the journey into parenthood can leave many feeling isolated, overwhelmed, and silently wondering, "Is it just me?" In this episode, listeners are invited to explore the nuanced realities of becoming a parent and the powerful, often unspoken, shifts it triggers within. You'll discover how experiences from your own past may resurface, why feelings of disconnection or being "not good enough" are so universal, and how concepts like matrescence and internal family systems can offer understanding—and real tools—for healing, growth, and creating deeper, more authentic connections with yourself and the people you love. Dr. Angele Close is a clinical psychologist, mindfulness meditation teacher, and author who specializes in maternal mental health. She uses the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model to support mothers navigating matrescence, helping them release perfectionism, shame, and self-criticism. Her work empowers women to cultivate self-compassion, confidence, and emotional resilience through trauma-informed, compassionate, and evidence-based therapeutic approaches. She is the author of Unburdening Motherhood: A Guide to Breaking Cycles, Healing Trauma, and Becoming a Self-Led Mom.   Episode Highlights 05:21 Parenting challenges with neurodiverse children. 08:08 Parental mental health challenges. 11:43 Struggles with motherhood expectations. 15:27 Pressures and expectations on parents. 16:19 Addressing motherhood burnout. 21:06 Exploring personal growth through motherhood. 24:49 Understanding Internal Family Systems (IFS). 29:24 Understanding self-protective behaviors. 33:42 Understanding the Inner Critic. 39:17 Navigating early parenthood myths. 42:36 Practicing mindfulness and self-compassion. 43:40 Helping moms with healing and guilt.   Your Checklist of Actions to Take Pause and Check In: Regularly pause during your day to notice your body sensations, emotions, and thoughts to increase self-awareness and identify when you're getting activated. Acknowledge Your Parts: Recognize when protective parts of you (e.g., inner critic, perfectionist, controller) are taking over and name them to yourself to help de-escalate internal tension. Practice Self-Compassion: Offer yourself kindness, especially when you notice challenging emotions like guilt, shame, or overwhelm arising in your parenting or relationships. Communicate Openly with Your Partner: Initiate honest conversations with your partner about your current struggles, needs, and aspirations as parents and as a couple to foster connection and teamwork. Explore and Discuss Family Values: Identify and discuss with your partner the values and beliefs you hold about what makes a "good" parent or partner, noting where your perspectives align or differ 40:05. Allow Grief and Vulnerability: When old wounds or unmet needs arise (such as grief while parenting), let yourself feel them and seek supportive spaces, rather than pushing them aside. Set Boundaries for Self-Care: Notice patterns of depletion and intentionally set boundaries to prioritize your rest, nutrition, and personal time, even if it means asking for more help or saying no. Seek Support and Normalize the Experience: Join parent groups, seek therapy or coaching, or read supportive resources like Unburdening Motherhood to help normalize the challenges and connect with others who share your experiences.   Mentioned Unburdening Motherhood (*Amazon Affiliate link) (book) ERP 261: How To Strengthen Your Relationship From A Polyvagal Perspective – An Interview with Dr. Stephen Porges ERP 276: Understanding The Need For Both Self-Regulation And Co-Regulation In Relationship – An Interview With Deb Dana ERP 423: How To Transcend Trauma (And The Effects Experience In Relationship) — An Interview With Dr. Frank Anderson Shifting Criticism For Connected Communication (free relationship guide)   Connect with Dr. Angele Close Website: drangeleclose.com Facebook: facebook.com/angele.close.2025/ Instagram: instagram.com/drangeleclose LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dr-angele-close TikTok: tiktok.com/@cyclebreakingmomma

What if getting triggered by someone isn't always a sign that the relationship is wrong… but an invitation to go deeper?In this episode, I'm joined by my dear friend Nina Mcdonald , and we're sharing the initiating story of a moment between us that could have created a rupture in our friendship.I got triggered by Nina's full expression - and instead of making her wrong for what came up in me, I had to get really honest about the old wounds, comparison, and stories that were actually being activated. And when I brought it to Nina, it activated something in her too: a lifelong wound around being “too much” and feeling like she needed to dim herself so other women could feel comfortable. What followed was days of honest conversation that ultimately brought us closer.We talk about healing sisterhood wounds, owning our triggers instead of projecting them onto other people, navigating conflict with curiosity, and learning how to stay connected without asking either person to abandon or diminish themselves.And because this is Boldly Alive, we also go way beyond friendship. We get into dance, embodiment, grief, heartbreak, pleasure, expression, and what it means to actually let yourself experience the full fucking range of being human. Maybe being triggered doesn't always have to create distance.Maybe sometimes, when we're willing to own what's ours and stay in the conversation, it can become the doorway to a deeper relationship.Learn more about Nina & her work: IG: https://www.instagram.com/nina.rebecccaCome hang with me: https://www.instagram.com/boldlyalivecourtHave a vision you want to bring to life?

What if knowing what to do isn't enough to create lasting change?Sometimes we understand exactly what needs to change and still find ourselves repeating the same patterns.In this episode, Andrea sits down with clinical hypnotherapist Eric Bailey for a conversation about the subconscious mind, behavioral change, trauma, addiction, mental health, and the role hypnotherapy may play in helping people create change from the inside out.Eric shares his own history with depression, anxiety, PTSD, addiction, obesity, and significant mental-health challenges. Andrea and Eric also explore why triggers and deeply conditioned behaviors can sometimes feel stronger than conscious intention, why old experiences can still feel emotionally present decades later, and how subconscious patterns may influence the choices we make even when we consciously want something different.Ultimately, this conversation is about more than hypnosis. It's about becoming curious about what may be happening beneath the surface—and being willing to explore new tools when the strategies you've already tried aren't creating the change you want....CHAPTERS00:46 Meet Eric Bailey02:19 What Hypnotherapy Actually Is03:22 Stage Hypnosis vs. Clinical Hypnotherapy06:51 Why We Naturally Enter Hypnotic States07:11 Why Relaxed States Can Increase Suggestibility09:08 What Does the Research Say About Hypnotherapy?11:16 Habits, Triggers, and the Subconscious Mind15:19 Eric's Personal Story of Addiction, Anxiety, and Mental Health18:53 A Frightening Turning Point20:45 The Support That Helped Eric Keep Going22:34 Healing One Small Step at a Time23:20 Moving Beyond the Holistic vs. Medical Divide25:31 Integrating Conventional and Complementary approaches27:27 Can Hypnotherapy Help With Old and Recent Trauma?29:23 Why Old Experiences Can Still Feel Present31:15 Turning Personal Transformation Into Purpose32:00 How to Connect With Eric Bailey33:35 Deep Dive Realignment VIP Day...RESOURCES ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Eric Bailey Clinical hypnotherapist and hypno-transformation specialist working with clients around behavioral change, habits, confidence, and personal transformation.Master of Persuasion EventEric mentions an in-person event in Salt Lake City taking place October 15–17 and offers a limited number of scholarships to listeners who text MASTER OF PERSUASION to 801-636-2470.Complimentary Hypnotherapy ConsultationEric invites listeners interested in learning more about hypnotherapy to text HYPNOTHERAPY to 801-636-2470 for information about a complimentary consultation, explanatory video, and audiobook.Andrea De La CerdaDeep Dive Realignment VIP Day⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Business Audit⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The InspirED Rewrite⁠⁠⁠TAG ANDREA ON INSTAGRAM⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@andreadlc_coach⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠...CONNECT WITH KANDULA⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Kandula Blogs⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. . .ABOUT ANDREA DE LA CERDAAndrea De La Cerda is a highly accomplished communications professional with over 25 years of experience in the fields of advertising, communications, and marketing.

Send us Fan MailOur guest this week is Assistant Chief Matthew Dhoore, Chief of Operations at the Clay Fire Territory in St. Joseph County, Indiana. That department is a Blue Card department that has large populated areas without the benefit of any municipal fire hydrants. That has prompted them to adopt an aggressive alternative water supply strategyWe talk through how to build sustained fireground water when there is no hydrant, the hydrant is too far away, or the municipal system cannot deliver what the fire demands. We share the tactics Clay Fire uses to forecast water early, run tanker shuttles safely, and keep command focused when water supply turns into its own incident. • Clay Fire Territory's mixed response area and why dense neighborhoods can still be non-hydranted • Initial attack setup using high-capacity engines and “give me your water” nursing • Porta-tank operations supported by wells and identified fill sites • Why every department needs a water plan B even with hydrants • Using command simulations to force water supply decisions and build habits • Simple tanker shuttle math for estimating sustained flow and tanker needs • Preplans for long lays, relay pumping and driveway access constraints • Triggers for assigning a water supply officer and moving tanker traffic to a support channel • Staging, dump site layout and safety practices to prevent bottlenecks and backing • Tanker specifications that speed dumps and reduce staffing demands • Hydrant assist valve (Humat) basics for uninterrupted water on long lays Free downloadsHere is the water supply worksheet for incident commanders: https://bshifter.com/download/blue-card-command-worksheet-may-2024/Sample Water Supply Strategy document: https://bshifter.com/download/water-supply-strategy-document/Sample Water Source Guide: https://bshifter.com/download/water-source-guide/Order the 3rd Edition of Fire Command here: https://bshifter.myshopify.com/products/new-fire-command-3rd-editionFor Waldorf University Blue Card credit and discounts: https://www.waldorf.edu/blue-card/ For free command and leadership support, check out bshifter.com Sign up for the B Shifter Buckslip, our free weekly newsletter here: https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/su/fmgs92N/Buckslip Shop B Shifter here: https://bshifter.myshopify.comShare this podcast with your friends, and don't forget to like and subscribe!Thank you for listening! 

We're raising children in a world our parents never had to navigate—one shaped by algorithms, social media comparison, constant stimulation, and an unprecedented pressure to perform. Dr. Shefali calls this phenomenon "algorithmic abduction": the ways technology can quietly shape our children's identities, attention, relationships, and sense of self. But while the world around our children has radically changed, many of our parenting models haven't. In this powerful conversation, Dr. Shefali explores the growing crisis facing today's boys and girls. Dr. Shefali has written two books on raising conscious boys and girls, and is on to discuss why she wrote these books now and what we can learn from them. This is an essential conversation for every parent, educator, and anyone who cares about the next generation.

In this episode, we explore the idea that meaning often comes after action. Inspired by a lyric from Robyn's new album Sexistential, we unpack the difference between therapy, philosophy, poetry, and relationships — and why artists, rappers, writers, and improvisers often don't fully understand what they're creating until after it's made.We discuss why overthinking can block transformation, how freestyle rap reveals unconscious truth, and why some of life's deepest insights can only be discovered through participation rather than analysis.Topics include:Therapy vs existential sufferingWhy philosophy answers different questions than psychologyFreestyling, flow states, and unconscious creativityCarl Jung, Sartre, Kierkegaard, and existentialismWhy meaning is often retrospectiveThe danger of waiting for certainty before taking actionRelationships as the ultimate test of self-awareness“You live your way into new thoughts”Thrive With Leo Coaching: If you want to reduce your psychological pain, regain your purpose and forge your own path, go to www.thrivewithleo.com to begin your journey.If you or anyone you know is considering suicide or self-harm, or is anxious, depressed, upset, or needs to talk, there are people who want to help:In the US: Crisis Text Line: Text CRISIS to 741741 for free, confidential crisis counseling.
