Many divorced women quietly carry the same fear:“What if I can't trust my own judgment?”After a relationship ends, it's common to question everything — your choices, your instincts, even your ability to recognize what's healthy and what isn't.But for many women, that loss of self-trust didn't start in the marriage.It started much earlier.In this premium coaching episode, Tiffini works with one of our members to explore a pattern many women recognize but struggle to name: the tendency to override intuition and rely on discipline, logic, and control instead.When you grow up in environments where your inner knowing was ignored, dismissed, or contradicted, you often learn to survive by becoming hyper-responsible, hyper-disciplined, and hyper-analytical.Those strategies can help you function.But they can also slowly disconnect you from the quiet voice inside that knows what's true.In this powerful IFS-informed coaching session, you'll hear one woman begin to uncover how her childhood experiences shaped her relationship with intuition — and how those patterns later showed up in adulthood, relationships, and divorce recovery.Together, they explore how protective parts like perfectionism, over-discipline, and self-analysis develop as survival strategies… and what begins to shift when intuition is invited back into the decision-making process.If you've ever felt like you're constantly searching outside yourself for answers — books, advice, podcasts, or systems — this conversation may resonate deeply.Because rebuilding your life after divorce isn't just about making better decisions.It's about learning how to trust yourself again.In this episode, you'll hear:Why many divorced women struggle to trust their intuitionHow childhood environments can disconnect women from their inner guidanceThe survival strategies that develop when intuition isn't safe to trustHow discipline and over-analysis can become protective partsWhy rebuilding self-trust is a central part of divorce recoveryThis coaching session is available exclusively to our premium members.If you've ever wondered why trusting yourself feels so hard — or why you find yourself constantly searching outside yourself for answers — the deeper conversations inside the premium feed are where we explore these patterns in real time.Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MyCoachDawnInstagram: (@dawnwiggins)Instagram: (@coachtiffini)On the Web: https://www.mycoachdawn.comA podcast exploring the journey of life after divorce, delving into topics like divorce grief, loneliness, anxiety, manifesting, the impact of different attachment styles and codependency, setting healthy boundaries, energy healing with homeopathy, managing the nervous system during divorce depression, understanding the stages of divorce grief, and using the Law of Attraction and EMDR therapy in the process of building your confidence, forgiveness and letting go.Support the show✨Join the Cocoon Community - your people are waiting! ✨
Forgiveness.It's one of the most powerful tools God gives us in marriage. Yet, when infidelity shatters trust, the path forward can feel confusing. What does real forgiveness actually look like? And how do you know if you're doing it in a healthy way?My guest today, Tim Tedder, is a licensed counselor and coach who has spent more than 20 years helping individuals and couples recover after infidelity. Tim's work is shaped not only by professional training, but also by personal experience. After walking through the devastation of infidelity in his own life, God eventually led him into a calling of helping others find healing and hope.In this conversation, Tim shares the freedom that comes from genuine forgiveness. He also explains three common ways people try to forgive that actually keep them stuck, along with two forms of forgiveness that truly help people move forward.In this episode, you'll hear:Three common substitutes people mistake for forgivenessThe difference between decisional forgiveness and emotional forgivenessWhy forgiveness does not automatically restore trustHow genuine forgiveness can bring freedom, even if a relationship is not restoredAnd more!I was moved by Tim's honesty about his story and the healing journey that brought him here.

This episode marks the powerful finale of the four-part Wild & Waking Journey series — and we are closing with the phase that changes everything: The RiseThroughout this identity evolution series, we've walked through The Unraveling, The Remembering, and The Reclamation; the sacred undoing, the return to intuition, the courageous choosing. Now, in this final installment, Emily brings language to what happens next. The Rise is not a finish line or a glow-up. It's embodied leadership. It's self-trust in action. It's the moment your inner transformation begins to ripple outward into your voice, your relationships, your work, your motherhood, your community, and your legacy.If you've been navigating identity deconstruction, spiritual awakening, authentic self-expression, or stepping into greater visibility without self-abandonment, this episode will meet you exactly where you are. The Wild & Waking Framework is cyclical, not linear. You may be rising in one area while unraveling in another, and that is not failure. That is growth.This is the inhale and exhale of a woman who knows who she is and is no longer afraid to let the world feel it.In this episode, I explore:What The Rise really means inside the Wild & Waking Framework — embodied leadership, authentic self-expression, and identity evolution in actionHow personal transformation becomes collective impact — and why women who have done deep identity work are being called forward right nowThe difference between performative visibility and grounded, aligned visibility rooted in self-trustHow to expand your voice, influence, and leadership without self-abandonment, people-pleasing, or chasing external validationChanneling anger, fire, and rage into intentional, focused change rather than chaos — leadership through regulated embodimentHow identity deconstruction, spiritual awakening, and self-trust create ripple effects in your family, business, rural community, and lineageThe role of women in social change, cultural shifts, and rebuilding systems from the inside outExpanding visibility while building the nervous system capacity to be seenPractical reflection questions to help you identify where life is asking you to rise right nowBe 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:Episode 152 | The Alchemy Behind Wild & Waking: a Year of Investment, Expansion, and ReclamationEpisode 183 | The Wild & Waking Journey: UnravelingEpisode 185 | The Wild & Waking Journey: RememberingEpisode 187 | The Wild & Waking Journey: ReclamationSign up here to get the inside scoop to my book writing journey!Book me as a speaker for your next event - email inquiries to emilyreuschel@gmail.com or schedule a call hereWild & Waking – Produced by Jill Carr Podcasting | Learn More

I sat down with my dear friend Connie Laufersky, master Montessori educator and leadership coach, to unravel the secrets to nurturing transformative relationships that span decades, weather storms, and inspire growth.What happens when you bring intentionality, spiritual depth, and psychological safety to every relationship?

In this episode, Shaun and Rebecca are joined by returning favorites Heather of Heather KW Styles and Lauren of Studio Laloc for an unfiltered designer roundtable. What starts as a chat about Danish hardware and custom furniture quickly spirals into tariffs, turning down nightmare projects, presentation strategies, ideal clients, and—yes—an unforgettable handyman story.From navigating red flags on discovery calls to debating whether we'd decorate a Miami Vice mansion for the right price, this episode is equal parts business strategy and design therapy.

Most of us know about the “fight, flight, freeze” responses to trauma. But there is another concept that has been steadily gaining awareness over the last several years, in large part due to pop psychology on social media: Fawning.You might have heard it described as akin to extreme people-pleasing, over-accommodating, over-functioning, and fundamentally a problem in the person doing the fawning. But as my guest today illuminates for us, it's not a personal failing, or even always a conscious choice. It is human nature to prioritize safety and connection, and fawning is a means of keeping ourselves safe. But when fawning runs the show, self-leadership diminishes and quietly drifts toward conflict-avoiding, blurred boundaries, and self-abandonment.Waking up to your fawning response takes courage. You will meet resistance from some as you shift the dynamics of your relationships. But it also unlocks deeper intimacy, more honest connection, and the joy that comes from trusting yourself and letting others meet the real you.This conversation invites you to consider where and with whom you fawn, and how you might want to respond in the future. Fawning has a real purpose when safety is on the line, but the more we are aware of it, the more we can be intentional about how we show up in our relationships.Ingrid Clayton is a licensed clinical psychologist with a master's degree in transpersonal psychology and a Ph.D. in clinical psychology. In her private practice in Los Angeles she supports individuals in healing trauma, reclaiming agency, and reconnecting to their authentic selves.She is a regular contributor to Psychology Today, and her work has been featured in Oprah Daily, The New York Times, Women's Health, Forbes, 10% Happier with Dan Harris, Girls Gotta Eat, and NPR's On Point with Meghna Chakrabarti. Ingrid's latest book, Fawning: Why the Need to Please Makes Us Lose Ourselves and How to Find Our Way Back, explores the often-overlooked fawn response to trauma.Listen to the full episode to hear:Why fawning shows up as an unconscious response to ongoing relational traumaHow understanding fawning helped Ingrid understand and heal from her own complex traumaHow our culture demands and reinforces fawning for women and marginalized peopleThe often very real bind of choosing safety over self and the feedback loop it createsAccessible practices to build a sense of internal safety and self-trustHow chronic fawning and self-abandonment contribute to burnoutLearn more about Ingrid Clayton, PhD:WebsiteInstagram: @ingridclaytonphdFacebook: @ingridclaytonphdYouTube: @ingridclaytonphdUnfawning on SubstackFawning: Why the Need to Please Makes Us Lose Ourselves–and How to Find Our Way BackBelieving Me: Healing from Narcissistic Abuse and Complex TraumaLearn more about Rebecca:rebeccaching.comWork With RebeccaThe Unburdened Leader on SubstackSign up for the weekly Unburdened Leader EmailResources:What Is the Fawning Trauma Response? | Psychology TodayPeter LevineThe Greatest Showman Cast - This Is MeThe Traitors
In this deeply personal and wide‑ranging episode of Equine Assisted World, Rupert Isaacson speaks with longtime colleague and friend Karla Brahms of Wellenreiter in the Odenwald, Germany — a region steeped in myth, forest, and living horse culture.What begins as a conversation about equine‑assisted practice unfolds into an intimate exploration of grief, love, resilience, and the sacred role horses play in helping humans navigate life's darkest passages.Karla shares her evolution from decades of forest‑based therapeutic riding with children into her current work integrating NIG (Neuro‑Imaginative Gestalt) constellation methods with horses. Through spontaneous drawing, embodied awareness, and equine presence, she helps clients access inner wisdom beyond intellectual processing.The conversation then turns to the death of her husband, musician Jan, and the profound grief that followed. Karla speaks openly about ritual, laying out the body at home, identity loss, and how horses — through presence, warmth, and simple being — helped her remain anchored in the present.This episode explores what modern culture has lost around death and ceremony — and how horses may help us reclaim a more honest, embodied relationship with grief.If you want to support the show, you can do so at Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/LongRideHome

After decades of faithfully serving as Vice President for Advancement at Indiana Wesleyan University, Terry Munday has seen firsthand how generosity, obedience, and relationships shape both institutions and eternal lives. In this compelling conversation, Terry reflects on a calling that led him from public education into Christian higher education fundraising, often requiring personal sacrifice, long-term trust, and spiritual courage. Through stories marked by humor, heartbreak, and unmistakable miracles, he reveals how fundraising, when rooted in faith, becomes far more than raising money. It becomes ministry.

Send us a textWhat if the most undervalued leadership skill in the AI era isn't technical fluency—but emotional presence?This episode of FUTUREPROOF. features Claude Silver, the world's first Chief Heart Officer and the No. 2 executive at VaynerX, joining the show to unpack why authenticity, empathy, and belonging are no longer “nice-to-haves,” but strategic advantages.Claude's 2025 book, Be Yourself at Work, challenges the long-standing belief that professionalism requires emotional distance. Instead, she argues that in a world defined by AI, automation, and burnout, the leaders who win are the ones who lead with heart—intentionally, skillfully, and without performative fluff.We explore:Why “authenticity” has been misunderstood—and how to practice it without oversharing or losing authorityWhat leading with heart actually looks like inside a 2,000-person global organizationHow emotional skills become power skills as AI absorbs more technical workThe difference between fitting in and true belonging—and why that gap is costing companies talent and trustHow leaders can balance emotional bravery with emotional efficiency in an always-on, high-pressure worldThis is a conversation about leadership after the old playbook breaks—and what replaces it when humanity becomes the edge.

Send us a textFeeling successful on paper but disconnected from your work at mid-career? You are not alone. In this episode, I sit down with Mitch Matthews, success coach and host of the Dream Think Do podcast, to unpack what real career change looks like when you stop waiting for permission and start creating it yourself.We talk candidly about that moment when you are busy, accomplished, and respected, yet no longer energized by the work you are doing. Mitch shares a powerful personal story about accepting a promotion that looked perfect on paper but felt wrong almost immediately. Instead of making a reckless leap, he honored his responsibilities while quietly building a new path through small, intentional experiments.This conversation is especially relevant if you are a mid-career professional seeking greater career clarity, questioning what is next, or feeling stuck in a job that no longer fits. We explore how progress does not require a dramatic exit or a master plan. It requires permission, curiosity, and consistent action.In this episode, you will learn:Why permission at mid-career is an internal decision, not something granted by a boss or organizationHow small, low-risk experiments can help you test new career directions without blowing up your current roleThe 15-minute rule and how five short blocks a week can compound into more than 60 hours of focused progress each yearWhy the safest place to explore new ideas is often outside the high-stakes environment of your day jobWhat it looks like to lead without having all the answers and why saying “I don't know, let's figure it out together” builds trustHow to use AI as a practical thinking partner instead of a buzzword or replacement for judgmentWhy automation is increasing the value of authenticity, clarity, and human leadershipHow to spot perfectionism when it is disguising itself as procrastinationWhy starting small and messy creates more durable career change than waiting for the perfect planMitch is also sharing his free training, Finding Time for Your Next Chapter, designed to help you carve out focused time for what matters most in this stage of your career.Access it at mitchmathews.com/time and use coupon code GPS for free access.Connect with Mitch MatthewsWebsite | LinkedIn | Support the showVisit https://johnneral.com/resources to: Subscribe to my free leadership and career newsletter Get The Mid-Career Clarity Code to help you figure out whatever is next for you and your career Please leave a rating and review on Apple Podcasts here.

In the world of modern leadership, influence is an essential skill—often making the difference between teams that thrive and those that merely survive.

Listeners will discover the missteps leaders often make, strategies to build credibility before a crisis arises, and how core values such as empathy, transparency, and accountability can transform a team's culture and performance.

In this episode, we take a deep, honest look at diligence from 2 Peter 1:1–11 and why it matters so much for modern Christian men. Instead of hyping discipline for discipline's sake, we slow down and explore a more biblical, heart-driven approach: earnest, focused application to what God has put in front of you.We walk through how Peter's call to “add all diligence” exposes five quiet enemies that keep men stuck:PassivityFalse contentmentDistractionSuperficialityProcrastinationThis is not a hype session or a guilt trip.

At the end of 2025, I shared two podcast episodes breaking down my best and worst Instagram content from the year. And when I teased those episodes on Instagram, I got a lot of questions about how I actually decide what makes a post “good” or “bad.”The obvious answer is data. I look at analytics, engagement, and performance. But the deeper answer (and the one that's mattered way more for the long-term growth of my business) is that there's a metric I care about even more than what Instagram shows me.For years, I've relied on what I call my ground beef metric to gauge whether my content is actually doing what it's supposed to do: building connection, trust, and relationships that eventually lead to inquiries and bookings.In this episode, I'm breaking down what my ground beef metric is, why vanity metrics don't tell the full story, and how to tell if your Instagram content is actually working, even when the numbers feel confusing or discouraging.We're talking:Why Instagram metrics matter (but shouldn't control your emotions)The real reason posts sometimes don't perform, even when they're goodWhat the ground beef metric is and how to use it to gauge audience connectionWhy Instagram Stories play such a big role in building trustHow connection compounds over time into inquiries and bookingsWhat to focus on if you want Instagram to feel easier and more fun againIf you've ever felt frustrated looking at your Instagram analytics, questioned whether your content is “working,” or wondered why posting feels so emotional sometimes, this episode will give you a totally different way to measure success.Links & Resources

Being the only woman in the room is rarely just a professional experience.

Chris shares how the pandemic prompted a fundamental shift in how he viewed his role as a lawyer — from focusing primarily on results to becoming deeply intentional about how clients feel at every stage of representation. He explains why client service begins at intake, long before a fee agreement is signed, and why firms that ignore the client experience do so at their own risk. With honesty, humor, and concrete examples, Chris discusses:Why client experience starts at the first phone call — and how tone, empathy, and responsiveness shape trustHow over-communication beats silence, even when there are no case updatesUsing client portals, automation, and surveys to improve communication without increasing attorney workloadTurning clients into “raving fans” who drive referrals long after a case endsWhy unhappy clients rarely complain directly — but always remember poor communicationHow brutal honesty, delivered with care, strengthens client relationshipsThe parallels between law firms and service businesses like restaurants and AmazonHow improving client experience benefits not only clients, but also staff morale and firm culture Chris emphasizes that most of the most impactful improvements to client experience are low-cost or free, requiring intention rather than technology — and that firms who prioritize service see fewer bar complaints, better reviews, and stronger reputations over time.

This week, I'm taking you behind the scenes of my own evolution through one of my favorite portals: reading. In this end-of-year solo episode, I walk you through all 26 books I read in 2025. These are the ones that cracked me open, challenged my assumptions, expanded my worldview, and quietly shaped the way I've shown up on the podcast, in my work, and in my life this year. Rather than sharing a quick top-five list, I take you on the full chronological journey, because the order matters. When you hear these books in the sequence I read them, you'll notice the threads of curiosity, deconstruction, healing, and spiritual expansion that guided me month by month.From faith and deconstruction, to ancestral wisdom, to the divine feminine, to creativity, to the witch wound, to energy work, to nature, to body literacy, these books formed a kind of breadcrumb trail for me — each one helping me ask bigger questions, soften old assumptions, and step deeper into the Wild & Waking journey we've been walking together. Some I devoured. Some I wrestled with. A few I didn't finish. And all of them, in one way or another, became teachers in my own unraveling, remembering, reclamation, and rise.Whether you want to expand your 2026 reading list, reflect on your own year of inner growth, or simply follow along with the journey behind the journey, this episode is a deep, thoughtful companion. And if any book sparks something for you, trust that. Pick it up, explore it, and see where it leads.

Birth is one of the most profound rites of passage a birthing person can experience — yet in modern culture, it is often shaped by fear, urgency, and medicalization rather than trust, presence, and reverence.In this deeply grounding episode of The Mindful Womb Podcast, Clara is joined by midwife and mentor Anna Lundqvist of Sacred Birth International for a rich conversation about reclaiming birth as a physiological, sacred, and transformational experience. Together, they explore what happens when birth is left undisturbed, how fear biologically alters labor, and why presence may be one of the most powerful tools in the birth space.This episode is an invitation — to slow down, to trust the body's wisdom, and to remember birth not as something to be managed, but something to be honored.What You'll LearnWhat physiological birth truly means — and why it's more than just “unmedicated birth”How fear activates the nervous system and can slow or stall laborWhy oxytocin and endorphins thrive in safety, privacy, and emotional trustHow modern birth environments often trigger biological danger responsesBirth as a rite of passage — shedding one identity and stepping into anotherThe sacred art of space holding for doulas, midwives, and birth supportersWhy nervous system regulation is essential in the birth spaceDaily practices that support presence, intuition, and longevity in birth workHow home birth fits into the global birth safety conversationWhy every birth — including those involving intervention — can still be sacredResourcesTo learn more about Anna's work and her Sacred Birth Worker Mentorship, visit sacredbirthinternational.com or follow @sacredbirthinternational on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube.***If these topics light you up, please rate and review the show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you're listening.After you review the show - snap a pic and upload it here - and I'll send you 70 printable affirmation cards as a thank you.Your feedback helps this podcast grow, and I am so grateful for your support!
