What happens when you finally find the healthy relationship you've always wanted... and your nervous system doesn't know what to do with it? In this deeply compassionate coaching session, Christine works with Sydney, who has found herself in the healthiest and most emotionally supportive relationship of her life. Her partner is stable, trustworthy, and committed—everything she once hoped for. So why does she still feel anxious? Why does part of her still expect abandonment, betrayal, or heartbreak? As the conversation unfolds, Sydney begins to recognize that her fears aren't coming from her current relationship. They're coming from old wounds. Growing up with an emotionally unavailable mother and a father who left, her nervous system learned early that love wasn't safe and connection couldn't be trusted. Now, even though her present-day reality is different, those old protective patterns continue to activate whenever intimacy deepens. Together, Christine and Sydney explore self-abandonment, dissociation, vulnerability, receptivity, and what it truly means to feel safe enough to receive love. If you've ever found yourself pulling away from healthy love, questioning a good relationship, or feeling anxious when things are actually going well, this episode will help you understand why. Press play to discover how old survival strategies may be keeping you from fully receiving the love you've worked so hard to create.    Consider / Ask Yourself Do you become anxious when relationships start feeling safe and secure? Do you find yourself expecting abandonment even when there is no evidence something is wrong? Were your emotional needs consistently met as a child? Do you struggle to receive love, support, compliments, affection, or intimacy?   Key Insights and A-Ha's Safe relationships can feel unfamiliar—and therefore unsafe—to a nervous system wired for unpredictability. Self-abandonment often begins when emotional needs go unmet in childhood. Vulnerability is not the same as neediness. Receptivity requires safety, embodiment, and trust. Many anxiety patterns are protective strategies that once served a purpose but are no longer necessary.   How to Deepen the Work Notice when you are reacting from present-day reality versus past experiences. Practice validating your triggers rather than criticizing yourself for having them. Explore ways to reconnect with your body through grounding and nervous system regulation practices. Allow yourself to express and process emotions instead of pushing them away or dissociating from them.   Social Media + Resources:  Christine Hassler — Take a Coaching Assessment Christine Hassler Podcasts Including Coaches Corner Christine on Facebook Expectation Hangover by Christine Hassler @ChristineHassler on Twitter @ChristineHassler on Instagram @SacredUnionCouples on Instagram Email: jill@christinehassler.com — For information on any of my services!

Congress is finally showing a spine. After months of all gas and no brakes, the unauthorized Iran war has become the breaking point — and for the first time in this administration, Republicans, Democrats, and the Angry Middle in between are unified in opposition. The country does not want another regime-change war. The country does not want a new forever war. And the politicians, as usual, are behind the people they claim to lead. Paul Rieckhoff lays out why this moment matters and why the pushback can't stop at Iran when Cuba, Greenland, and Mexico are already in the rhetorical crosshairs. Then there's the deeper rot. The nominee to run the DNI — the traffic cop for every piece of intelligence flowing from our allies and our own agencies — has no experience and, in Paul's read, no intelligence. Scott Bessent is brawling with Bill Pulte on Capitol Hill. Ebola is spreading in Africa. Putin is slamming into Ukraine. Iran is hitting Kuwait. The World Cup is coming to American soil with a national security apparatus staffed by wannabe tough guys and unqualified loyalists. Americans feel less safe because they are less safe — and this briefing connects every dot. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Join IVA and stand up to Trump's Forever Wars. -Learn more about Paul's work to elect a new generation of independent leaders with Independent Veterans of America. -Learn more about American Veterans for Ukraine here. -Remember Independent is an Attitude. -Learn more about The Headstrong Project for Veterans, Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS), and Department of Veterans Affairs resources in your area.

You have a list.Maybe it's on paper. Maybe it's in your phone. Maybe it's running through your head right now.And if someone told you to put that list away for a week, no planning, no organising, no keeping track of every little thing, something in you would probably feel uncomfortable.Not because you need the list. Because of what the list helps you avoid feeling.Today's journaling prompts are designed to help you get underneath the overwhelm and uncover the belief that's keeping you busy.Journal Prompts When I picture a day with nothing on my list and nothing that needs to get done, what is my first feeling? Not the first thought. The first feeling. When I'm busy and productive, what does that say about me? You can expand this beyond productivity if it feels more true for you. When you're helping, achieving, showing up, or staying involved, what does that mean about who you are?When I'm still and unproductive, what does that say about me? On the days when you're resting more, doing less, or not going above and beyond, what story do you make that mean about yourself?If you had to stop writing to-do lists for one week, what are you actually afraid would happen? Keep going deeper than the obvious answer. Then go one layer deeper again.What would it mean about me if I let myself rest before I earned it? Take the fear or belief that came up in the previous prompt and place it into this question. Notice what comes up without trying to change it.The goal isn't to stop making lists. It's to notice what happens when there isn't something to organise, fix, achieve, or cross off.Pay attention to what came up as you wrote today. Because the belief underneath your overwhelm is often easier to see in moments of stillness than it is in the middle of a busy day.Resources Mentioned:The Should Session: To Stop you from bringing work stress home!

In this episode, I break down a post from a woman in my Facebook group who had a deeply unsettling migraine experience while driving. She described feeling disoriented, disconnected, and unable to fully process what was happening around her, and if you've ever felt that way during a migraine, I want you to know there's a reason for it. I explain the two major things I believe are often at play here: underlying metabolic waste and toxin overload in the body, and a form of dissociation that can develop when someone has been living with pain for a very long time. This is an important conversation about safety, brain fog, helplessness, and what chronic migraines are really trying to tell you.

Florida is suing ChatGPT owner, OpenAI, accusing the company of promoting the AI tool despite being aware of the dangers it posed to minors. The wide-ranging lawsuit also includes allegations that the chatbot played a role in two fatal shootings in the state last year. US correspondent Jacob Brown spoke to Lisa Owen.

What if the leadership skills we've spent decades rewarding are no longer the ones that matter most?In this conversation, mediator, peacemaker, and author Douglas Noll argues that AI is making critical thinking, emotional intelligence, and human connection more valuable—not less. As technology takes over more analytical work, leaders who can regulate trust, create psychological safety, and keep people engaged will have a growing advantage.Doug challenges some of the deepest assumptions in modern management, including the idea that people are primarily rational actors. From emotional contagion in the workplace to the three questions every nervous system is constantly asking, this discussion explores why leadership in the AI era may be less about technical expertise and more about understanding human behavior.Related Links:Join the People Managing People CommunitySubscribe to the newsletter to get our latest articles and podcastsConnect with Douglas on LinkedInCheck out Douglas' websiteVisit Noll AssociatesSupport the show

When Conflict Feels Unsafe: How to Stay Open-Hearted Without Abandoning Yourself Have you ever known the “right” way to communicate, but in the heat of conflict, those tools seem to disappear? In this episode of Relationship Truth: Unfiltered, Leslie sits down with psychologist, speaker, and author Dr. Kelly Flanagan to talk about what really happens inside of us when we get triggered—and how one small, sacred moment of choice can shift us from reactivity toward connection. Together, Leslie and Kelly explore why communication often breaks down within us before it breaks down between us, how to recognize when our hearts are closing, and why open-heartedness never means becoming a doormat. This conversation is especially meaningful for women navigating destructive, painful, or confusing relationships who want to grow in wisdom, courage, and Christlike strength without abandoning themselves.   Key Takeaways Communication Breaks Down Inside Us First Dr. Flanagan explains that many people already have communication skills, but when they feel threatened, hurt, or misunderstood, they “close the toolbox” right when they need it most. The real work is not just learning better words—it is learning to notice what is happening inside our bodies, hearts, and nervous systems when we become triggered. That moment of awareness creates a pause. And in that pause, we begin to recover our God-given agency to choose a different response. You Can Notice When Your Heart Starts to Close Kelly describes a triggered moment as a process: the nervous system activates, the heart begins to shift into protection mode, and then we make a quick, often unconscious choice about whether to close down or stay open. Leslie connects this with the biblical wisdom of Proverbs: “Above all else, guard your heart.” Guarding your heart does not mean hardening it. It means learning when to pause, when to regulate, and when to make wise choices about what you allow in and what you release. Open-Heartedness Does Not Mean Weak Boundaries One of the most powerful parts of this conversation is the distinction between an open heart and a lack of boundaries. Dr. Flanagan reminds listeners that the condition of your heart is an inner posture, while boundaries are outer actions. An open heart does not make your boundaries weaker—it makes them wiser. For women in destructive or emotionally unsafe relationships, this is crucial. Christlike love does not require self-abandonment, enabling, or pretending harm is not happening. Calm Yourself Before You Try to Connect Conflict escalates when we try to calm ourselves by controlling someone else's behavior. Kelly uses the illustration of a furnace: when the “control board” inside us is malfunctioning, we often try to change the weather outside instead of tending to what is happening inside. Before we can connect well, we must first regulate. That may mean taking a break, breathing, praying, going to another room, or simply saying, “I'm triggered right now, and I need a little time before I can respond well.” Your Growth Is Never Wasted Leslie and Kelly offer hope for the woman who has tried everything to get her husband to communicate better, become safer, or look at himself honestly. While you cannot control another person's choices, you can still do your own work. Even if the relationship does not heal the way you hoped, God does not waste your growth. As you become more whole, wise, and grounded, you are better equipped to make faithful, courageous decisions about what comes next. Dr. Kelly Flanagan is offering listeners a free video tutorial that walks through the nine-step process from his book, The Road Less Triggered, helping you begin moving from reactivity toward connection. To receive the resource, email: drkellybonus@gmail.com You will also be temporarily subscribed to his online community, The Less Triggered Tribe, with the option to unsubscribe at any time.   Friend, being triggered does not mean you are failing. It means something inside of you is asking for care, attention, and wisdom. You do not have to stay stuck in reactivity, fear, silence, or blame. With God's help, you can learn to pause, regulate, speak truth, set wise boundaries, and grow into a more whole version of yourself. You are not alone, and even in painful relationships, your healing and growth still matter.  

When Success Feels Unsafe Have you ever worked hard for something you deeply wanted… only to walk away the moment success arrived? In this deeply personal episode of Called to Confidence, Sharon shares a surprising story from her own life: returning to college, making the Dean's List, and then quitting—not because she failed, but because success felt terrifying. If you've ever struggled with perfectionism, fear of failure, self-doubt, or the pressure to maintain impossible standards, this episode will resonate deeply. Together, we explore how confidence can be quietly sabotaged by performance pressure and the fear of not measuring up. This episode is a powerful conversation about personal development, emotional growth, and recognizing the hidden beliefs that keep us stuck. Because sometimes the thing holding us back isn't failure—it's the pressure success seems to create.

A co-founder of OpenZeppelin said he's urging friends to exit blue chip DeFi. Isaac Patka and Mike Silagadze explain what he got right, what he got wrong, and what needs to change. ======================================================== Thank you to our sponsor! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Coinbase One⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: Get 20% off the first year of your Coinbase One annual plan at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠coinbase.com/unchained⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. ======================================================== A co-founder of OpenZeppelin set off a firestorm on Crypto Twitter this week by declaring that he now considers all of DeFi unsafe, citing superhuman AI coding agents and the asymmetry between attackers and defenders.  Isaac Patka, certifications lead at Security Alliance, and Mike Silagadze, CEO of Ether.Fi, join Laura Shin to push back on that framing — and to make the case that the real problem isn't AI finding sophisticated zero-days, it's that 90% of hacks are still embarrassing opsec failures.  They cover the full threat taxonomy: opsec and parameter mistakes, contagion from bridge failures, AI-enabled social engineering, and the decentralization theater that leaves protocols unable to protect their own users.  Mike makes a pointed argument for why every serious DeFi protocol needs a hard pause button and a blacklist mechanism, while Isaac explains the three-multisig architecture that should be the minimum standard. Plus, both lay out the practical question every user should ask before putting money into any protocol.

Adam Bychawski reported on how people who've been wrongly imprisoned - sometimes for many years - are still not being compensated even after they've overturned their convictions, thank to a 2014 change in the law.

We are shocked by what we heard on Opinions Matter today about the man in the estate in Tallaght and the claims by various locals that he is danger to local children.... They have branded him a "predator" and say that local children are "unsafe".They told us about they believes he is "grooming" local children and that parents need to be highly vigilant!!!We are also speechless by the number of parents in Tallaght (in various estates) who have gotten in touch to say that they no longer feel safe letting their children out to play!!! We have had reports from various locals who say they have seen a local man exposing himself while children play nearby! They say Tallaght is now a "no go" for children.... We did not realise that things were that bad in Tallaght - the number of messages we got from worried parents is huge!

In today's Digest, we cover Temu being hit with an EU fine over unsafe product sales, ChatGPT adding cost-per-action advertising, and YouTube rolling out AI content detection and labeling.

The European Union has slapped a €200 million fine on Chinese retailer Temu for selling products considered toxic or unsafe, including baby toys and electronics. The e-commerce giant disputes the ruling, which came under the EU's Digital Services Act, requiring online platforms to protect consumers from harmful content or products. Also in the show:  Global air travel dips for the first time since the pandemic, and France is set to reimburse the cost of weight-loss drugs for obese patients.

Index drauf und fertig. Klingt nach einem soliden Plan, oder? Leider nur so lange, bis die Daten wachsen, der Workload kippt oder der Optimizer plötzlich andere Entscheidungen trifft. Dann wird aus dem vermeintlichen Performance-Booster schnell ein Bremsklotz. Genau hier steigen wir in dieser Episode ein und schauen uns an, warum Indexstrukturen in Datenbanken viel mehr sind als ein technischer Quick Fix.Wir sprechen darüber, was ein Index eigentlich ist, wie Datenstruktur, Algorithmus, Hardware und Workload zusammenhängen und warum Begriffe wie Selektivität, Kardinalität, Full Table Scan, Write Amplification und Cache-Lokalität in der Praxis entscheidend sind. Außerdem schauen wir auf typische Datenbank-Themen wie Primary Key, B-Tree, Binary Search, Covering Index, Optimizer, Slow Query Log und Explain Statements. Dabei wird auch klar, warum ein Index manchmal hilft, manchmal ignoriert wird und manchmal sogar langsamer ist als gar kein Index.Wenn du mit PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB oder ganz allgemein mit Datenbank-Performance arbeitest, bekommst du hier ein solides Fundament und einige praktische Denkanstöße für deinen Alltag als Softwareentwickler:in. Und ja, wir sprechen auch über Invisible Indexes in MySQL. Ein Feature, das fast wie ein Zaubertrick klingt, aber beim Testen und beim sicheren Aufräumen von Legacy-Systemen überraschend praktisch sein kann.

In today's episode I'm talking about money, AI, and why so many women still don't feel financially safe, even when they're earning well.I share what's been lighting me up this week: a fascinating conversation with Alex Zeck inside HDx on how we're sold health narratives that don't hold up to scrutiny, why I'm building female-led companies into my AI investing criteria, and what the Scott Galloway episode on Diary of a CEO got so right about the fear-mongering around AI. I also get real about something that happened in my own home this week that reminded me how often women are walking around feeling unsafe, and how money and AI are two of the most practical tools we have to change that. And I talk about perseverance: what it actually takes to build a business, and why determination is the thing most people underestimate.If you've ever felt financially capable but still financially unsafe, this one's for you.I trust you will get what you need from this episode, and make sure you come let me know how it resonated with you on instagram @the_human_design_coachBig love,MxxJoin the waitlist for the Money, AI and Human Design Mastermind: https://www.emmadunwoody.com/money-mastermind-waitlistAs mentioned: Diary of The CEO episode with Scott Galloway-https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/scott-galloway-ai-wasnt-built-for-you-the-rich-dont/id1291423644?i=1000765979158OTHER RESOURCESWant more on Human Design?

You hired someone good. The work was fine. You still sent the late-night Slack message, redirected the task, and checked in on something that had already been handled.This episode looks at what the research suggests is actually driving that pattern. Not trust issues. Not a bad hire. A specific kind of perfectionism that shows up differently in people with ADHD.Two studies help explain it. A 2016 study found perfectionism was the most common cognitive distortion in adults formally diagnosed with ADHD, endorsed by 55% of the sample. It was not close. A 2023 study then looked at what kind of perfectionism. Their findings indicate ADHD founders are not setting impossibly high standards. They are feeling the gap between what they expected and what was delivered more intensely than others. What drove avoidance most strongly was not perfectionism in the traditional sense, but the persistent feeling of falling short, even when the original standard was reasonable.Delegation becomes the thing most associated with that painful shortfall. So the brain starts treating it as a threat.Friday's episode covers the practical side: how to structure delegation so the gap is smaller from the start and your perfectionism has less to react to.What We Cover:Why ADHD perfectionism research suggests it is not about high standards but about feeling any shortfall more acutely than othersHow the discrepancy between expected and actual output drives avoidance in ADHD founders specificallyThe two scenarios where delegation breaks down even when the team is competent and the work is solidWhy the founder who re-enters delegated work is not micromanaging but responding to a learned pattern of emotional painWhat Friday's episode will cover on structuring delegation to reduce that gap from the start P.S.

Parenting with Someone Who Is Emotionally or Spiritually Unsafe How do you parent well when the other parent is manipulative, emotionally unsafe, spiritually abusive, addictive, or simply unwilling to grow? It's one of the most painful and exhausting realities many women face after separation, divorce, or even within a difficult marriage. In this powerful conversation, Leslie is joined by Michael and Kristin Cary of Living Truth Together to talk honestly about why “friendly co-parenting” is not always realistic—or safe—when the other parent continues destructive patterns. Together, they offer practical boundaries, faith-rooted wisdom, and compassionate guidance for moms who want to protect their children without badmouthing the other parent or getting pulled into more chaos. Key Takeaways Friendly Co-Parenting Isn't Always Possible—or Safe Many women are told that if they communicate clearly, stay kind, and “do their part,” co-parenting will become peaceful. But when someone was unsafe in the marriage, separation or divorce doesn't magically make them safe, reasonable, or cooperative. Michael reminds us that issues like sex, money, parenting, addiction, manipulation, and emotional abuse don't disappear just because a couple is no longer together. In many cases, trying to co-parent closely with an unsafe person only creates more opportunities for harm. Boundaries Protect Your Soul and Reduce Unnecessary Conflict Kristin shares from her own experience of parenting with a toxic ex-spouse and explains how she learned to put strong boundaries around communication. That meant not answering phone calls, avoiding one-on-one texting when possible, using another person in written communication, meeting in public places, and limiting conversations to only what was necessary. These boundaries are not punishment. They are protection. As Leslie points out, when someone has repeatedly shown that engaging with them only brings arrows and harm, wisdom means accepting reality and choosing a safer way forward. Loving Yourself Is Not Unchristian Many women feel an over-spiritualized obligation to keep sacrificing themselves—to answer every question, calm every outburst, defend every accusation, or rescue the unsafe person from his own consequences. But Jesus told us to love our neighbor as we love ourselves. Kristin names a powerful truth: you have agency now. You have authority over your time, energy, body, and emotional well-being. Sacrifice is beautiful when it leads to life and love, but it is not godly wisdom to continually sacrifice yourself to someone who uses your availability to harm you. You Can't Fully Protect Your Children, But You Can Equip Them One of the hardest truths for any mother is realizing she cannot completely shield her children from the other parent's toxicity. Kristin shares the deep surrender of recognizing that God loves her son even more than she does—and that while she can make wise choices, she cannot control everything he experiences. That doesn't mean doing nothing. It means helping your children recognize what is healthy and unhealthy, teaching them that they have choices, listening without using their pain as a weapon, and helping them build their own safety and discernment over time. Don't Put Your Children in the Middle When the other parent blames, lies, or spiritually shames you in front of the children, it can be tempting to defend yourself by telling the whole story. But children should not have to carry adult burdens. Kristin offers a wise, age-appropriate response: “Adult problems are really complex, and sometimes adults hurt each other in ways children shouldn't have to understand. This is not your fault. It is not your responsibility to fix it. I love you.” Leslie adds that if something untrue is said, you can calmly say, “That's not true. Dad is hurt and angry, and he's saying some things that aren't true,” without attacking his character. You Still Need Support, Rest, and Joy Parenting is hard. Parenting in a destructive or broken relationship is even harder. Kristin encourages women to get support, remove nonessentials where possible, and intentionally seek moments of real joy—not numbing or avoiding, but small places of delight and refuge with God. Michael reminds us that self-care does not always require large blocks of time. Sometimes it looks like five minutes in the sunshine, a cup of coffee in prayer, a worship song, or a quiet breath before the next hard thing.

Download Leslie's Quickstart Guide to begin gaining clarity, courage, and practical direction for your situation. You don't have to figure everything out at once. Start with one wise step. Download the Quickstart Guide here: https://leslievernick.com/guide   Friend, your situation may feel impossible, especially when the other parent refuses to change, take responsibility, or become safe. But even if he never changes, you can. You can become the grounded, steady, emotionally healthy anchor your children need. You can stop dancing the old destructive dance. You can seek support, walk in truth, and learn to protect your heart without hardening it. You are not alone. God sees you, He loves your children, and He will give you wisdom for the next right step. Keep walking in truth—one step at a time.  

In this conversation, Lawrence Joss continues exploring PTSD, nervous system healing, and parental alienation with psychologist Faust Ruggiero. Together, they reflect on what happens after years of survival mode, when reconnection, hope, or positive change finally begins to appear, but the body still reacts with fear, overwhelm, and hypervigilance. Lawrence shares personal reflections on emotional eating, reconnecting with loved ones, and the challenge of staying present when even good moments feel emotionally intense.Blending lived experience with practical trauma insight, the discussion explores nervous system conditioning, emotional regulation, coping behaviors, support systems, and why healing rarely happens in isolation. Faust offers grounded guidance on recognizing trauma patterns, slowing reactivity, and rebuilding stability through small consistent actions rather than perfection. For parents navigating estrangement, grief, and reconnection, this conversation is a reminder that healing is not about erasing pain, it's about learning how to live alongside it with greater steadiness, compassion, and self-awareness. Living fully is not giving up, but an act of love and integrity.Key TakeawaysHypervigilance makes safety feel unfamiliarPositive emotions can still overwhelm the nervous systemTrauma responses affect daily coping behaviorsEmotional eating can become self-soothingReconnection often brings emotional disorientationNervous system healing happens gradually over timeSupport systems reduce emotional isolationHealing requires consistency, not perfectionPTSD impacts both mind and bodyChapters0:00 - Trauma And The Stuck Alarm2:44 - Numbing Out With Food4:37 - Past Memories Collide With Now9:01 - Process Over Perfect Resolution12:40 - Trust Shame And Feeling Worthy17:54 - Breathe First Then Find Facts20:47 - Spot Body Cues Early24:27 - DIY Healing Versus Professional Help26:25 - Supporting Someone With PTSD28:41 - The PTSD Handbook And Film32:39 - Final Takeaways And GoodbyeSupport & Community:Parental Alienation Anonymous (PAA): Join our free 12-step support group with 16 online meetings weekly for parents, grandparents, family members, and previously alienated individuals seeking healing and recovery.PA-A.org: Parental Alienation Advocates is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to fostering education, advocacy, and support for individuals grappling with the distressing impact of parental alienation, estrangement, erasure, and family disconnection.All our services are free and sustained by grants and community donations.

In this deeply honest episode of The Recovery Vow Podcast…We sit down with Dave Willis, marriage coach, pastor, and co-host of the Naked Marriage Podcast. Dave joins Eric Kennedy to unpack one of the most overlooked foundations of recovery: emotional safety. What starts as a conversation about rebuilding trust quickly reveals something deeper… why even after the addiction stops, the relationship can still feel broken.Eric and Dave take us inside the reality many couples face: the tension at home, the lack of trust, and the quiet distance that replaces connection. From hidden addictions and secrecy to the painful process of rebuilding trust “one drop at a time,” they expose how recovery isn't just about quitting a behavior… It's about becoming a safe person again.This episode is a wake-up call: you can be sober and still unsafe. And if your relationship doesn't feel safe, nothing you build will last. Real recovery isn't just about changing actions, it's about showing up with consistency, honesty, and presence… every single day.On This Episode:- Why emotional safety is the true foundation of recovery- How secrecy and unpredictability silently destroy trust- The “bucket vs. drops” analogy that explains rebuilding trust- Why defensiveness and tone can damage more than your actions- The difference between behavior change… and emotional consistency- Five pillars that create real safety in relationships- How small, daily actions rebuild connection over timeConnect with Dave and Ashley Willis:Podcast: The Naked Marriage PodcastSocials: @‌daveandashleywillisConnect with us:Socials: @‌RecoveryVowWebsite: http://recoveryvow.comEmail: recoveryvow@gmail.comNew episodes every other Monday!Top ways to support this podcast:- Give this video a thumbs up- Subscribe to our channel- Follow us on FB and IG- Subscribe on Apple, Spotify, and Amazon Music

Have you ever reached a new level of success… only to suddenly feel exhausted, disconnected, shut down, or emotionally frozen afterward? After returning from my book tour, I noticed myself slipping into a freeze response. And underneath it, I realized something deeper: for many of us who grew up with a narcissistic parent, connection felt unpredictable, conditional, or unsafe. So when we experience expansion, visibility, love, or success, the nervous system can interpret it as danger instead of safety. In this podcast, I'm sharing: ✨ How growing up with a narcissist can create deep feelings of being unloveable ✨ Why the nervous system sabotages success when it doesn't feel emotionally safe ✨ The connection between attachment wounds, freeze response, and emotional shutdown ✨ What happens when connection goes away and the body perceives it as threat or abandonment ✨ Why healing isn't just mindset work — it's nervous system work The truth is: we can often only hold the level of success that our nervous system feels safe enough to sustain. And when we expand beyond what feels familiar, the body may unconsciously shut us down in an attempt to protect us. This podcast is for anyone who has ever wondered: “Why do I collapse after growth?” “Why do I feel unsafe being seen?” “Why does success trigger anxiety, numbness, or withdrawal?” You are not failing. Your nervous system learned survival patterns that once protected you — and healing is about teaching the body that connection, visibility, love, and success can now be safe.

What if the problem in your sex life isn't low libido… but the pressure, expectations, and conditioning you've been carrying for years? In this conversation, Erica shares how she spent years believing she was broken, trying everything from therapy to self-help advice to “fix” her lack of desire — only to discover that the real issue had far more to do with safety, pressure, and the scripts women are taught about sex and relationships.Together, Erica and Janna unpack the messages many women grow up with around sex, marriage, motherhood, and obligation, and explore what begins to shift when couples stop focusing on performance and start building experiences rooted in curiosity, comfort, and connection.

This week on Freight Expectations, Craig Fuller and Matthew Leffler dive into the hidden forces reshaping the freight industry — from International Roadcheck Week and unsafe equipment on America's highways to the growing legal exposure facing brokers, carriers, and trailer manufacturers. They break down the FMCSA's evolving enforcement priorities, the reality behind trailer maintenance and out-of-service violations, and why one in five inspected trucks still fails safety inspections. The conversation also explores the massive implications of the Montgomery broker liability case, nuclear verdicts against manufacturers like Wabash, and why many freight companies may be dangerously unprepared for what comes next. Plus: AI-powered freight research, GLP-1 drugs reshaping consumer behavior, industrial real estate optimism, and why trailer manufacturers may be the most bearish players in transportation today. ⁠Follow the Freight Expectations Podcast⁠ ⁠Other FreightWaves Shows⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

Feeling stuck in recovery? There's a reason why. Every woman needs three fundamental safes to heal: a safe place, a safe space, and safe faces. Without these, you're trying to heal in the same environment that contributed to your struggle. The good news? You don't have to wait for these to appear—you can create them yourself. In this episode, you'll discover: Why your nervous system cannot heal when it doesn't feel safe The 3 essential safes every woman needs for recovery How to create a physical sanctuary that supports healing Building community when recovery feels lonely Identifying truly safe people vs. well-meaning but harmful ones Why these safes are the opposite of isolation Practical steps to build your safety net starting this week Ready to create the foundation your recovery needs? WHY SAFETY MATTERS IN RECOVERY "Your nervous system cannot heal in the same environment where it learned to survive." When you've been living with an eating disorder, your brain has been in constant survival mode. The outside world feels threatening, food feels dangerous, even your own thoughts feel unsafe. Recovery requires safety—not just physical safety, but emotional, mental, and relational safety. Without the three safes, you're trying to heal a wound while someone keeps picking at it. When you create safety, healing becomes possible. THE 3 SAFES FRAMEWORK SAFE PLACE: Your Physical Sanctuary Your physical environment where you can retreat and recharge. Examples: A corner of your bedroom with soft lighting and cozy textures A spot in nature where you feel peace A quiet coffee shop where you can journal Even your car with calming music How to create at home: Make one space completely yours Remove anything triggering Add nervous system soothers (soft blankets, calming scents, journal) This is your refuge when the world feels too loud and your mind feels unsafe. SAFE SPACE: Your Community Sanctuary The mental and emotional headspace for recovery, often created through community. Safe spaces are where: You can say "I'm struggling" without someone trying to fix you People understand the complexity without judgment You realize you're not alone, broken, or crazy You can practice vulnerability in a controlled environment It can be hard to heal in the same environment where your disorder developed—building community of like-minded people to sit with you is crucial. SAFE FACES: Your Support Network People who know what's best for your future self and provide truly safe guidance. A safe face: Understands eating disorders are complex mental illnesses Doesn't try to fix you with simple solutions Loves you enough to hold boundaries for your recovery Guides you toward your best self, not enables your disorder Safe faces include educated therapists, coaches, dietitians, and carefully chosen family/friends. CREATING VS. FINDING SAFETY Empowering truth: You don't have to wait for safety to appear—you can create it. Start small: Safe Place: Claim one corner that's yours, make it a sanctuary Safe Space: Join communities, create conversation boundaries Safe Faces: Evaluate who feels truly safe, invest in those relationships These safes build on each other—when you have one, it's easier to create the others. THE OPPOSITE OF ISOLATION Creating these safes isn't hiding from life—it's building the foundation to engage with life more fully. Safe place = foundation for engagement, not escape from it Safe space = building support to connect authentically with everyone Safe faces = learning to trust yourself about helpful vs. harmful people These aren't about hiding from recovery—they're about creating conditions where recovery can happen.

They are not a safe adult for my child to maintain a relationship with.

Thinking about opening your relationship—but already feeling tension, anxiety, or uncertainty?You're not alone.For many couples, conversations about non-monogamy or open relationships quickly become overwhelming. One partner may feel excited and ready to explore, while the other feels hesitant, worried, or emotionally unsafe.In this episode, I break down why that happens—and how to approach non-monogamy in a way that actually supports your relationship instead of destabilizing it.Because the truth is:

Anxiety, especially climate anxiety, can feel like a constant alarm you can't shut off. If you're living with stress & anxiety, chronic stress, and an undercurrent of grief, you're not alone. And when it starts tipping into burnout, you need tools that build real-world agency. In this conversation, I'm joined by Dr. Katharine Wilkinson — writer, teacher, creator, and one of the clearest voices I know on climate emotions and meaningful action. We're talking about climate anxiety, eco anxiety, climate change anxiety, and the emotional toll of living in a world that can feel harder to trust than it used to. This is a conversation about how to stay grounded without shutting down, and how to move through fear without letting it run your life. We talk about the difference between healthy fear and anxiety that starts taking over, and why anxiety about climate change can leave so many people feeling helpless, isolated, or stuck. Dr. Katharine shares how guilt, anger, and climate grief can become sources of information instead of feelings to numb out or carry alone. We also talk about community, young people, uncertainty, and how meaningful action can help shift you out of paralysis and into a deeper sense of agency. At the end, I put my psychologist hat on and talk through what to do when climate anxiety, chronic stress, or burnout begin affecting your sleep, mood, focus, or daily functioning.
