Every day, we make around 35,000 decisions, of which most of them are fast, subconscious, and driven by emotion rather than logic. So what does that mean for how we communicate change?In this episode of the Less Chatter, More Matter podcast, we sit down with Dr. Samantha Rush, a cognitive decision-making specialist, to unpack how decisions are really made, especially in complex, high-stakes environments.Drawing on psychology, neuroscience, and her PhD research, Samantha explains why acceptability is the critical first step in any change. Before people adopt something new, they make a series of micro-decisions about whether it feels safe, what it means for them, and how it might impact their reputation or standing.Together, we explore:Why logic-heavy communication often falls shortThe role of psychological safety in decision-makingHow fear, uncertainty, and self-perception shape responses to changePractical ways communicators can design messages that actually landWhat influences whether leaders align to, and follow through on, decisionsThis episode challenges traditional approaches to change communication and offers a more human, realistic lens on how people think, feel, and decide.Links mentioned in this episode:Dr. Samantha's websiteDr. Samantha's LinkedIn90 minute Strategy Power SessionPublic workshops and trainingLess Chatter, More Matter - Mel's bookTemplate packsChange Isn't Hard! - Mel's bookSign up here to the fortnightly mail out of free resources!Say hi!Follow me on LinkedInFind out what I'm up to InstagramCheck out my websiteAsk a question

There are moments in healing where something shifts. Not all at once. Not loudly. But clearly. A realization begins to take shape:

Send us Fan MailThe Supreme Court is currently considering two major cases brought by West Virginia and Idaho which address state-level bans on transgender female students playing on girls' school sports teams. Together, these cases could determine whether states can legally exclude trans athletes from school sports nationwide. Politicians and pundits argue about fairness, biology, and the future of women's sports, but far too often the voices of transgender athletes themselves get lost in the noise. That's exactly what Anna Baeth, Ellie Roscher, and Chris Mosier are trying to change. Ellie and Chris join Sarato discuss their new and groundbreaking book Fair Game, which breaks down the myths being told through personal interviews with trans athletes and includes an informative look at the research, history, and politics of gender in sports.  They explore the deeper question underneath it all: what do we really mean when we talk about fairness, and why does sports participation matter—not just for elite athletes, but for every kid who simply wants to play on a team, move their body, and belong.Special Guest: Ellie RoscherEllie Roscher is the author of Fair Game, Remarkable Rose, The Embodied Path, 12 Tiny Things, Play Like a Girl and How Coffee Saved My Life. Ellie teaches writing and yoga in Minneapolis. She was a two-sport college athlete, competing in gymnastics and softball, and went on to coach both at the rec, club, and high school level. Ellie holds an MFA in Writing from Sarah Lawrence College and an MA in Theology from Luther Seminary. Special Guest: Chris MosierChris Mosier is a trailblazing athlete, coach, and founder of TransAthlete.com, the go-to resource on transgender inclusion in sports. He made history as the first openly trans man on a U.S. Men's National Team and helped change International Olympic Committee policy for trans athletes. A Nike-sponsored athlete, Chris is a five-time national champion, and relentless advocate for trans rights. When not training and competing, he mentors transgender and nonbinary athletes around the globe, living out his motto of “be who you needed when you were younger.” Links from the Show:Buy Fair Game hereEllie's WebsiteFind Ellie on IGDr. Baeth's WebsiteEllie's WebsiteChris's WebsiteDr. Baeth on IGFind Chris on IGIn the Den is made possible by generous donors like you.

In this PTSD and Beyond episode, we explore what it means to notice where we feel grounded, connected, and at ease, and how those moments are not random, but meaningful signals. Through the lens of self care, awareness, and healing, this conversation reflects on the environments, relationships, and spaces that either support or disconnect us from who we are. We also explore the meaning behind “I go where I feel like myself” and the “Cheers effect,” that sense of being in spaces where we can exhale and simply be, and why certain places feel like home. Self-care is not only what we do. It is also where we go, what we allow, and what we choose.

We hear a lot about saying “no” as self-care. And that matters. But what happens when everything becomes no? In this episode, we explore when boundaries shift from intentional protection to automatic response. What starts as safety can become disconnection. This conversation brings a trauma-informed and neuroscience-based lens to understanding “no,” and how to move toward discernment, flexibility, and connection. Key Takeaways: 1. Boundaries support connection, not replace it 2. Automatic “no” can be a protective pattern, not a conscious choice 3. The brain predicts safety based on past experiences 4. Psychological flexibility supports wellbeing and growth 5. Connection is essential to overall health Reflection Questions:  Where has “no” become automatic? Is this response coming from fear or alignment? What would it look like to pause before responding? If you or someone you know is struggling, support is available.

In this episode of PTSD and Beyond, we welcome Christopher J. Allen, a military leader and veteran advocate dedicated to supporting service members, veterans, and their families. This conversation centers on leadership in its most human form. Beyond titles, rank, or position, leadership is about presence, connection, and the willingness to check-in. Christopher shares insights from his experience in service, highlighting the importance of everyday moments that build trust, strengthen connection, and create meaningful impact. We explore how small actions, like a conversation or a simple check-in, can serve as powerful protective factors in supporting mental health and preventing crisis. This episode is a reminder that leadership and care often show up in the smallest moments. What We Discuss - • Leadership through presence, connection, and care • The role of everyday conversations in supporting mental health • Suicide prevention as a shared responsibility • The importance of checking in with others and with ourselves • The human side of service and leadership • Building connection as a protective factor Key Takeaways: • Leadership is expressed through presence and genuine connection • Small moments can have a meaningful impact • Checking in is a simple but powerful act of care • Mental health support begins with connection and awareness

Chronic fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, and joint pain are often dismissed as stress or hormones but what if the real cause is an underlying infection? In this episode of The Health Fix Podcast, I sit down with naturopathic physician Dr. Jaquel Patterson to discuss the complex connections between Lyme disease, long COVID, autoimmune conditions, and hormonal health. Dr. Patterson shares her personal journey with Lyme disease after experiencing unexplained symptoms shortly after graduating from naturopathic medical school. Her experience shaped her clinical focus and passion for helping patients who are often misdiagnosed or overlooked. We also discuss how COVID-19 may reactivate infections like Lyme disease, trigger autoimmune responses, and contribute to lingering symptoms many people experience today. Dr. Patterson explains her integrative treatment approach, including herbal medicine, immune support, and personalized care strategies designed to address the root causes of chronic illness. About Dr. Jaquel Patterson Dr. Jaquel Patterson is an internationally recognized naturopathic physician, 3-time Amazon bestselling author, speaker, and Forbes contributor. She is the CEO of Fairfield Family Health and has over 16 years of clinical experience treating Lyme disease, autoimmune conditions, ADHD, PANS/PANDAS, autism spectrum disorders, allergies, and environmental illness. She is the Past President of the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians and currently serves on the board of the American Academy of Environmental Medicine. What You'll Learn In This Episode: • Why Lyme disease is often misdiagnosed • The connection between Lyme disease and long COVID • How infections can trigger autoimmune symptoms • The role hormones play in chronic illness • Integrative treatments including herbal medicine and immune therapies Key Takeaways ✔ Lyme disease symptoms are often mistaken for anxiety or hormonal issues ✔ COVID-19 may trigger flares of Lyme disease and autoimmune conditions ✔ Treating chronic illness requires addressing infections, hormones, and immune health together ✔ Personalized care is essential for lasting recovery Resources From The Show: Dr. Jaquel Patterson's Website  Dr. Jaquel's Fairfield Family Health Clinic If you enjoyed this episode please like and subscribe to this podcast for more information just like this.

Anxiety often shows up when we are standing in front of a decision or when a lived experience feels like it might repeat itself. In these moments, the mind begins scanning for threat, danger, and risk. What if this doesn't work out? What if it happens again? What if I fail? Fear of rejection can become very loud and can create hesitation, avoidance, and sometimes complete inaction. In this episode of PTSD and Beyond, Dr. Deb explores the connection between regret, rejection, and resilience and how anxiety can influence the way we approach decisions in our lives. Drawing on mindfulness practices and neuroscience, this conversation explores how the brain processes perceived threat and how reflective awareness can help interrupt anxiety loops. When we shift the question we are asking ourselves, we may discover a new way to move forward with clarity and courage. Resilience is not the absence of anxiety. Resilience is the ability to move forward even when uncertainty and fear are present. When action is taken with awareness, anxiety may still exist, but it no longer holds the same power.

Cody is the author of Burning It Down and Rise from the Ashes, two deeply personal books that explore pain, purpose, and the journey of rebuilding life after hardship. In Burning It Down, Cody shares a raw and honest memoir about what it feels like to stand in the ashes of loss and struggle while searching for meaning and a way forward. The book is described as a conversation and a lifeline for anyone who has ever felt broken, exhausted, or uncertain about what comes next. Through his experiences as a firefighter and through his personal journey, Cody speaks openly about mental health, trauma, resilience, and the strength it takes to rebuild after life's hardest moments. This conversation is about courage, healing, and the reminder that even when life feels like it has burned everything down, something new can still rise.

In this powerful conversation, Dr. Deb sits down with Wendy B. Smith, a trauma expert, licensed clinical social worker, and former clinical professor of social work, to explore the lasting effects of childhood trauma and the pathways toward healing. With more than three decades of psychotherapy experience working with survivors of childhood maltreatment, Dr. Smith brings deep insight into how early experiences shape development, relationships, and life trajectories. Dr. Smith is also the author of Before Their Crimes: What We're Misunderstanding About Childhood Trauma, Youth Crime, and the Path to Healing, a groundbreaking book that examines the connection between adverse childhood experiences and later behavior through interviews with individuals who committed crimes as teenagers. Together, Dr. Deb and Dr. Smith explore how childhood trauma affects brain development, identity formation, and the ways people move through the world. They also discuss the powerful role of human connection, understanding, and compassion in the healing process. This conversation is a reminder that behind many behaviors are stories of pain, survival, and resilience. When we begin to understand those stories, we open the door to healing. In this episode we discuss: • What childhood trauma actually does to the developing brain and nervous system • The long term impact of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) • Why trauma in childhood can shape behavior later in life • The role of connection, empathy, and accountability in healing • Why understanding the story behind behavior matters

Why does someone who has led in extreme, high-pressure environments write a book about mindfulness and resilience? In this episode, I sit down with Ash Alexander-Cooper, OBE - former elite military commander and author of Mindful Soldier, to talk about the lived experiences that shaped his leadership and the lessons earned along the way. We explore why he wrote the book, what real-world leadership under pressure taught him about responsibility and resilience, and how he now works with leaders to build steadiness from the inside out. Each chapter of Mindful Soldier includes practical tools and exercises, making this more than a story. It is a guide people can actively apply in their own lives and leadership. We also discuss the individuals and organizations this work has already impacted. Grounded. Practical. Reflective.

This week I'm bringing back an important conversation from the archives. Dr. Valerie discovered Patriarchy Stress Disorder (PSD) and created the only science-backed system for helping women achieve their ultimate success, happiness, and fulfillment by healing the collective, inherited trauma of oppression. She is also the author of Patriarchy Stress Disorder: The Invisible Inner Barrier to Women's Happiness and Fulfillment. I met Dr. Valerie at an event late last year. I serendipitously sat at her table and as she was talking about her work and her book, I was enamored. In fact, I invited her onto the podcast on the spot. Her work is important, interesting, and backed by science. When it comes to the patriarchy, as women, there is a deeper issue going on then the blame game. We are not going to heal by pointing fingers. My conversation with Dr. Valerie is just one step of many that will help move women towards healing from the patriarchy. In this episode you'll hear: How Dr. Valerie discovered PSD and how her search began with asking the question, “What is wrong with me?” Oppression is traumatic and it is deep in our DNA Patriarchy does not equal men and men do not equal patriarchy, patriarchy is a system that has been oppressive and disempowering to women PSD is the invisible inner barrier to women's happiness and fulfillment and trauma defenses: mind, body, and action Some of the symptoms or circumstances of PSD (and yes, we all have it) Dr. Valerie's message to men and how to bring them into the conversation and still take care of ourselves Resources mentioned in this episode: Devotion program Andrea's Substack, How Very Human of You Sign up for my emails Instagram reel about men and shame Dr. Valerie Rein's websiteDr. Valerie's 3 Minute Re-Power ToolDr. Valerie on InstagramBook: Patriarchy Stress Disorder: The Invisible Inner Barrier to Women's Happiness and Fulfillment  Dr. Valerie Rein has discovered Patriarchy Stress Disorder (PSD) and created the only science-backed system for helping women achieve their ultimate success, happiness, and fulfillment by healing the collective, inherited trauma of oppression. She holds an EdM in Psychological Counseling from Columbia University and a PhD in Psychology from the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology. Her bestselling book, “Patriarchy Stress Disorder: The Invisible Inner Barrier to Women's Happiness and Fulfillment” and her cutting-edge mind-body healing programs have helped thousands of women ditch the game of survival, of “how much can I bear?” and master the game of thriving, of “how good can it get?” Dr. Valerie is a sought-after speaker and trainer at conferences and companies committed to setting new standards of excellence in their industry in diversity, equity, and inclusion, employee satisfaction and physical and mental health, and creativity and innovation.

This conversation explores workplace bullying through a lens that goes far deeper than behavior. We examine the physiology of harm, the nervous system impact of chronic workplace stress, and how leadership either contributes to trauma or actively prevents it. Liza Collins is a trauma preventative leadership coach, consultant, and number one best selling author of The Physiology of Bullying. With more than three decades of experience across healthcare systems in the UK and internationally, her work bridges lived experience, neuroscience, and relational leadership practice. In this episode, we explore: • What chronic workplace harm does to the nervous system • How bullying reshapes identity, health, and self trust • The difference between surviving a toxic system and restoring agency • Why leadership responsibility extends beyond performance metrics • What trauma preventative leadership actually looks like in practice This conversation moves beyond surface level discussions about difficult personalities. It addresses power, safety, and the biological cost of sustained psychological threat. For anyone navigating workplace harm, leading teams, or building cultures of psychological safety, this episode offers insight, clarity, and grounded perspective.

Understanding Trauma Across the Lifespan with Dr. Frank Putnam Content Note: This episode includes discussion of trauma, child maltreatment, and dissociation; please listen at your own pace and care for your wellbeing while engaging. In this episode, Dr. Deb Lindh sits down with Dr. Frank Putnam, a renowned psychiatrist, researcher, and national leader in the study of trauma, child maltreatment, and its lifelong effects. With a career spanning decades of clinical work and groundbreaking research, Dr. Putnam has been instrumental in advancing the field of traumatic stress studies and mentoring generations of trauma scientists. Dr. Putnam's work began early in his career at the National Institute of Mental Health, where he first encountered the profound effects of child abuse on psychological and biological development. This experience shaped his lifelong focus on understanding trauma's impact from childhood into adulthood and highlighted the importance of early research to inform healing-informed practice. His pioneering research on dissociation and dissociative disorders helped transform the field from case-based observations into evidence-based science, including influential publications and the co-authorship of tools widely used in trauma research. Today, Dr. Putnam continues to research and advocate for trauma-informed approaches that acknowledge the complex ways early adversity shapes health outcomes across the lifespan. He is also recognized for his decades of mentorship and service, including the establishment of the Frank W. Putnam Trauma Research Scholars Program, which supports emerging trauma researchers whose work has great potential to contribute meaningfully to the field. In this conversation we explore: • What we currently understand about how trauma affects development from childhood through adulthood • How early research in child maltreatment and dissociation reshaped scientific thinking about trauma • The importance of rigorous trauma research and mentorship in broadening the field • What trauma professionals and survivors alike can take from decades of evidence-based work Whether you're new to the trauma conversation or deeply embedded in healing work, this episode offers clarity, context, and hope grounded in decades of research and human experience.

In today's episode, Amy is joined by Dr. Marisa G. Franco, psychologist and friendship expert, for an honest and refreshing conversation about navigating friendships in motherhood. This episode explores why friendship truly matters and why maintaining meaningful connections deserves intentional space through every season of life, even when your day feels full. Dr. Franco discusses how challenging it can be to both maintain existing friendships and form new ones as a mom. She emphasizes normalizing the quieter seasons that often come with early motherhood, reminding us that distance doesn't equal disconnection. Whether friendships have gone quiet due to busy schedules, young kids, or long distance, this episode encourages listeners to reach out, reconnect, and trust that strong bonds can withstand natural lulls.For those hoping to make new friends, Dr. Franco shares practical conversation starters and mindset shifts to help step outside comfort zones and make introductions feel less intimidating. Dr. Franco debunks some interesting common misconceptions about friendship, too. The episode wraps with thoughtful guidance on navigating conflict within friendships, recognizing when repair is possible, and understanding when it may be time to step away. If you enjoyed listening to this episode, we would love it if you could share it to your Instagram stories and tag us, @drmarisagfranco and @expectingandempowered.

In times of uncertainty, stress, and ongoing change, hope can feel fragile, distant, or even unavailable. This episode of PTSD and Beyond explores how hope functions during turbulent times, how hope can become hopeless, how hope can return, and how mindfulness and connection support that process. This conversation is grounded in trauma informed psychology, lived experience, and nervous system awareness. Rather than forcing positivity or offering quick fixes, this episode invites a compassionate, human exploration of hope as a capacity that ebbs and flows depending on safety, connection, and meaning. In this episode, we explore • What hope really means and what it is not • How hope shifts into hopelessness and why that happens • How hopelessness can be a protective response rather than a failure • Where we go and what we do when hope feels distant • How hope returns through safety, connection, and agency • The role of community in sustaining hope • How mindfulness supports nervous system regulation and restores possibility • Why self compassion matters when navigating uncertainty This episode includes a brief, optional mindfulness practice and reflective questions designed to support awareness, integration, and self trust. If you or someone you know is struggling, support is available. In the U.S., you can call or text 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. It is available 24/7 and free and confidential.

This milestone 550th episode of PTSD and Beyond features a meaningful conversation between Dr. Deb and basketball coach and mentor Jerel Seamon, marking ten years since they first met. This episode centers the power of vulnerability, lived experience, and storytelling. Jerel reflects on how sharing his story, giving himself grace, and staying connected to purpose have shaped his life and leadership. Together, the conversation explores how openness and honesty create connection, hope, and the ability to support others in meaningful ways. Basketball has been a consistent source of hope in Jerel's life. The episode includes a shout out to Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves, highlighting how the game continues to represent resilience, belief, and possibility. Rather than focusing on performance or perfection, this conversation reflects on what it means to live with intention, to honor lived experience, and to use what we have been through to help others move forward. In this episode, we explore • Vulnerability as strength • The role of lived experience and storytelling • Giving ourselves grace while continuing to grow • Living with purpose and helping others • Basketball as a source of hope and consistency • The impact of shared moments and long standing connections This episode reflects the heart of PTSD and Beyond where lived experience is honored, stories matter, and healing and growth are possible through connection.

As a new year begins, there is often an unspoken pressure to feel motivated, clear, and already moving forward. But not everyone starts the year feeling strong. Some start stalled. Some start somewhere in between. In this episode of PTSD and Beyond, we explore why either way is okay and why what matters most is practicing the space of G.R.A.C.E. Grace is not a process. Grace is a practice. When we feel stalled, old patterns often rush in. Shame. Stigma. Rumination. Past criticisms. Stories that were never ours to carry. None of these support healing or growth. This episode introduces the G.R.A.C.E. practice as a way to move beyond coping and into grounded, compassionate self leadership. In this episode, we explore: • Why starting strong does not eliminate the need for grace • Why starting stalled is not a failure • How shame and past conditioning hijack the nervous system • Why grace is a daily practice, not a checklist The G.R.A.C.E. Practice G Ground Returning to the body and the present moment through sensation and breath. R Recognize Naming what is activated while staying anchored in now. A Allow Giving yourself permission to assess and adjust rather than suppress or react. C Choose Remembering that you have choice and practicing responses ahead of time. E Exit and Emerge Stepping into safety and returning when ready, without rushing or escaping. Whether this year has started strong or stalled, this practice offers a way forward that honors healing, agency, and humanity. If this episode resonates, consider sharing it with someone who may need permission to slow down and offer themselves grace. Follow, subscribe, and leave a review to support PTSD and Beyond.

Send us a textIn this episode of The Nourished Nervous System, I'm joined by Dr. Nima Rahmany, chiropractor, educator, and creator of the Becoming Trigger-Proof methodology, for a deep and illuminating conversation about people pleasing, trauma responses, attachment patterns, and how nervous system healing transforms our relationships — with others and with ourselves.Dr. Nima shares his personal journey from chiropractic care into somatic psychology and attachment work, shaped by his own experiences with ruptured relationships, trauma bonding, and nervous system dysregulation. Together, we explore how stress, chronic illness, burnout, and relational conflict often stem from self-abandonment learned early in life — and how healing begins by turning inward.This conversation weaves somatic awareness, polyvagal theory, shadow work, and attachment theory into a compassionate framework for understanding why so many of us struggle with boundaries, resentment, and emotional exhaustion.In this episode, we explore:The fawn response and how people pleasing develops as a survival strategyWhy self-abandonment often leads to burnout, autoimmunity, and chronic stressHow childhood attachment wounds show up in adult relationships and parentingThe difference between being boundaryless, walled-off, and elegantly boundariedWhy resentment builds when we ignore our body's “no”How shadow work helps us reclaim disowned parts of ourselvesA somatic approach to working with triggers in real timeWhat it actually means to be “regulated” — and why regulation doesn't mean being calm all the timeHow to build resilience by increasing your capacity to feel, rather than suppress, emotionDr. Nima also walks us through a powerful, embodied example of how triggers with our children or partners can become doorways to healing unmet needs within ourselves — offering a practical, compassionate roadmap for rupture and repair.This episode is especially supportive if you:Identify as a people pleaser or “the strong one”Struggle with guilt around saying noFeel chronically depleted despite doing “all the right things”Are navigating parenting, partnership, or work stressSense that your nervous system is asking for a different way of relatingResources mentioned:WebsiteDr. Nima Rahmany's Attachment Style QuizThe Trigger-Proof ExperienceFacebookResources:Ayurvedic Dosha Quick Reference Guide Abhyanga Self Massage Guide Weekend Nervous System Reset Nourished For Resilience Workbook Find me at www.nourishednervoussystem.comand @nourishednervoussytem on Instagram

As 2025 comes to a close, this episode of PTSD and Beyond offers a slower, more intentional way to pause. December 31 is often treated like a countdown or a party night. But it is also a bridge. A bridge between who we were, who we lived as this year, and who we are becoming next. In this Self Care Sunday episode, Dr. Deb shares a trauma-informed reflection practice that supports the nervous system through transition. Rather than rushing into goals or avoiding the moment, this episode focuses on reflection, closure, and care as essential forms of self care. This episode explores • Why endings and transitions matter • The difference between reflection and rumination • How unfinished projects and decisions affect mental and emotional health • The role of energy awareness, boundaries, and environment • A simple planning approach that supports clarity without overwhelm This episode is for listeners who want to end the year with intention, steadiness, and care. Listen at your own pace. Pause or return as needed. Take what resonates. If this episode resonates, share it with someone who may need a reminder that healing does not always announce itself loudly. Sometimes it arrives as a breath, a softness, or a quiet moment the body whispers you are safe right now. Follow, subscribe, and leave a review to support PTSD and Beyond.

If you've ever found yourself in that painful in-between of "I can't stay, but I don't know how to move forward," my hope is that this episode will feel like a big exhale. I'm joined by Dr. Marianna Strongin, licensed clinical psychologist, child of divorce, and the mental health expert at My Next Chapter, where she and I have been collaborating to support people through every stage of divorce. In this episode, we talk about finding your footing in uncertainty - as a parent, as a partner letting go, and as a person rebuilding a life. Marianna and I explore co-parenting dynamics, the fear of staying and leaving, teaching kids to trust and use their voice, and using mindfulness to stay with yourself instead of spiraling into "what ifs." We also discuss how returning to your values becomes a grounding compass, and how self-trust rebuilds slowly, one honest step at a time. You don't have to rush or have it all figured out, but do you get to take the next right step toward a life that feels like yours again. ✨ If you'd like to watch the video version of this episode, you can find it here.
