⚡️ 5-second gist*
If you've always managed just fine but suddenly feel like everything is falling apart in your 40s, the problem might not be perimenopause alone it could be revealing ADHD that's been masked your entire life.This conversation with therapist Mandi Dixon revealed a critical connection between ADHD and perimenopause that's leaving countless women struggling without answers. Dixon's work focuses on the intersection of neurodivergence and hormonal changes, addressing why so many women receive their first ADHD diagnosis during midlife transitions.The discussion explored how ADHD in girls and women presents differently than in boys - with internal hyperactivity like daydreaming and anxiety rather than external disruption. This leads to years of successful masking, where women learn to follow rules and appear organized while struggling internally. The hormonal support of estrogen helps maintain these coping mechanisms until perimenopause strips away that scaffolding.Dixon introduced the concept of "ugly perimenopause" - the severe mental health struggles that go beyond typical mood changes and require immediate attention. She emphasized that the highest suicide rates in women occur between ages 46-54, making this a critical period for intervention and support.The conversation highlighted how neurodivergent women experience more intense perimenopause symptoms due to nervous system sensitivity. Sensory overload becomes overwhelming - from cooking exhaust fans to children's noise levels. Rejection sensitive dysphoria, already challenging for ADHD individuals, intensifies with hormonal fluctuations, making criticism feel devastating.Dixon's therapeutic approach combines traditional counseling with EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy, which uses bilateral stimulation to help reprocess trauma. This technique proves particularly effective for both mental health recovery and physical conditions like pelvic pain where trauma responses interfere with healing.The discussion addressed the "menno divorce" phenomenon, with Dixon explaining that divorce often results from pre-existing relationship issues becoming intolerable once women stop accommodating poor treatment. Perimenopause doesn't cause problems but reveals them, giving women clarity about what they will and won't accept.Dixon stressed that neurodivergent women require specialized menopause care, describing them as "orchids" who need delicate handling during hormone therapy. The combination of hormonal treatment with mental health support often provides the best outcomes, with some women needing long-term antidepressant therapy as a "safety net" alongside hormone replacement.Highlights:Why ADHD gets missed in girls due to internal vs. external symptoms.The "ugly perimenopause" requiring immediate mental health intervention.Sensory overload and rejection sensitivity intensifying with hormone changes.EMDR therapy for trauma processing and pelvic pain recovery.How menopause empowerment reveals relationship problems rather than causing them.Neurodivergent women needing specialist hormone care and patience with treatment.The importance of combining hormone therapy with mental health support.Suicide risk peaks between ages 46-54 in women.If this episode helped you understand the ADHD-perimenopause connection, help other women find this conversation by subscribing to the channel and leaving a review on Apple Podcasts.

Hey Team! This week, I'm talking with Rita Ramakrishnan, a seasoned strategic executive and leadership coach with over 15 years of experience. Diagnosed with both ADHD and Autism Spectrum during her undergrad years, Rita reframed what could have been limitations into strengths and now looks to uplift other neurodivergent women in leadership roles. Currently, she is pursuing a master's degree in neurodivergent leadership at the University of Pennsylvania, intensifying her expertise in coaching and organizational strategy tailored to neurodivergent individuals. In our conversation, we cover everything from identifying when you're dysregulated (and what to do about it) to designing teams that play to everyone's strengths. Rita walks us through practical tools like outsourcing strategically, tracking your energy to uncover strengths, and building a leadership charter so teams can work more effectively together. It's a conversation about leading authentically, creating systems that work for your brain, and how to advocate for your needs without falling into people-pleasing traps. If you'd life to follow along on the show notes page you can find that at HackingYourADHD.com/243 YouTube: https://tinyurl.com/y835cnrk Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HackingYourADHD This Episode's Top Tips 1. Try creating a Minimum Viable Routine - your baseline routine that consists of the bare minimum you need in place to function. The point of an MVR is to take those non-negotiables and lock them in, either with automation, outsourcing, or simple systems. That way, when ADHD throws a curveball, you still have the essentials covered. 2. Instead of only measuring productivity by what gets checked off a to-do list, try looking at how you feel after activities. Track when you walk away from a meeting or task feeling energized, and when you walk away feeling drained. 3. Rejection sensitivity hits hard for many folks with ADHD. A short email reply, a period at the end of a text, or even a coworker sounding rushed can feel like a personal rejection. Rita's advice is to deliberately separate yourself from the situation and try to depersonalize feedback. This reframing can help shift from identity-based thinking (like “I'm the problem”) to more situation-based thinking (“this may be tough, but it's fixable”).

The Alberta folk singer-songwriter Sister Ray is known for writing songs about heartbreak and sadness. But they decided to try something different with their new album, “Believer,” which is all about love and connection. This past spring, Ella Coyes of Sister Ray joined Tom Power to talk about how “freeing” it is to write about joy, how growing up around Métis art influenced their love of music, and why they think the embarrassing parts of being human are what connect us most.
In this episode, Kelly uncovers the transformational shifts that can change the way you live, think, and show up in the world. You'll hear about the power of gratitude, the beauty of living effortlessly, and how identity work shapes who you're becoming.

[2:41] The Gift of Gratitude “Once I started doing this personal development work, I felt happier. I found gratitude, and gratitude, I believe, is a part of prayer.” [9:03] Effortless Journey “If you can allow yourself to be open and allow yourself to receive what could be meant for you, and just enjoy the effortlessness and the journey of it, then I think that's a little bit better of a life to live.” [12:07] The Identity Work “The identity work is being the thing. Be it before it happens.” [16:46] Lit Up by Action “So, you have to let go of the how and take the inspired action. Again, those inspired actions. Okay, this is lighting me up.” [24:32] Declutter with Purpose “If it doesn't spark joy, get rid of it.” [27:15] Lead Your Life “Tap back into that imagination and start thinking about who you want to be, and start becoming it.

We've all felt the sting of rejection—by a parent, a friend, or someone we trusted. The natural response is to push away, to protect, to prove we're right. But what if the way forward isn't building walls, but building bridges? In this message, Pastor Rich reveals the powerful truth of Romans 15:7: the same acceptance Christ gave us is the acceptance we're called to extend to others.

In this solo episode, I'm getting honest about one of the hardest parts of being a dancer (and a human) - rejection. I recently launched a brand new mentorship program - and it totally flopped. So I'm sharing with you the process I used to coach myself through the disappointment and the lessons I learned along the way.Key Points in this Episode: Why rejection doesn't define your worth as a dancer or artist The hidden wins in experiences that don't go as planned Common mistakes dancers (and entrepreneurs) make when putting themselves out there How imposter syndrome can sabotage opportunities - and how to push back Why you need to talk about your work way more than you think How to ask for feedback and what to do when you don't get it Reframing rejection as redirection in your career and lifeTune in to talk through the emotions, the mindset shifts, and the practical lessons that can help dancers (and anyone pursuing a big dream) handle rejection with resilience.Let's connect!My WEBSITE: thebrainyballerina.comINSTAGRAM: instagram.com/thebrainyballerina1-1 Career Mentoring: book your complimentary career callQuestions/comments?

This past weekend, Alex Leyva continued our sermon series in the Gospel of Mark. Sharing the good news can sometimes feel overwhelming, or like something we're not qualified to do. But we were reminded that the gospel is more powerful than our past or our qualifications. God invites us into the work of His Kingdom, and by sealing us with His Spirit, He moves powerfully through us as we allow Him to use us to reach people for Jesus.

Labor Day might've pushed us to Tuesday, but the energy didn't miss a beat. In this week's episode of PSA: The Mental Health Podcast, Izzy Baker teams up with JR, host of Real Sht Let's Talk, to go deep on rejection, masculinity, and the invisible rules that Black men are forced to play by — even when we do everything “right.” From viral barbershop clips to viral job rejection letters, this episode exposes the emotional cost of showing up with credentials and still being seen as not enough. The convo opens with Drake's viral BBL joke — and what might've seemed like a funny one-liner turns into a raw dialogue on male body image, deflection, and the way men, especially Black men, are trained to laugh off what hurts. Izzy and JR challenge the idea that men don't struggle with appearance and ask what it means when jokes start masking deep insecurities.Then it gets even deeper — we unpack the clip of Jim Jones, Fabolous, Maino, and Dave East sitting around debating Black privilege, struggle, and the unspoken hierarchy of pain. JR delivers a fiery perspective: when you're Black in America, even your “privilege” is questioned, and the pressure to prove your authenticity becomes a mental weight too many brothers silently carry.Whether it's job applications, fake motivational quotes from parents, or “just wear a suit” advice, this episode pulls back the curtain on the gaslighting Black men face while trying to level up. This episode is for the man who's tired of chasing validation from jobs, platforms, or people who don't see his worth. For the one who's constantly told he's not “struggling enough” to be relatable. For the brother who's been hiding pain under a personality.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/p-s-a-the-mental-health-podcast--5520511/support.TrustBuilder Package

"Hi Stef! My name is [x] and I've been listening to your show for a couple years now, my husband introduced it to me shortly after we got married. I've really enjoyed learning about philosophy and self-knowledge and have been applying it to my marriage and other relationship queries. I was hoping to talk to you about some struggles I've had maintaining relationships (friendships) throughout my life. I've never had a local friendship last more than a few years. I'm about to continue my self-knowledge work by going to a Christian group therapy (Freedom session) and I was told I would need a sponsor (a friend or relation) to closely connect with for these group sessions. It occurred to me that I don't have any close friends and no one I could ask (besides my husband). To me that is alarming. I feel as though I should have at least one long term close friendship. My husband and I talk about this often - how I often have difficulties maintaining friendships. I've been burned by people many times throughout my life and I now tend to put up barriers when meeting new people, until I have observed them long enough to deem them as safe people. Even when I do form friendships they seem to die out in a sense within a few years. I'm wondering if there is a pattern that needs to be addressed or something I'm not seeing. I'm an emotionally intelligent, kind, gentle and thoughtful person. I'm often the listener/counselor in friendships and relationships. I often have to be the pursuer of connection with other people and it can be very exhausting especially when there is no reciprocation. At times I feel I have this in my familial relationships as well. I come from a family of married parents with 6 kids including myself and I often felt that I was thirsty for affection/attention as a child and still feel that way to this day. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it. Thankfully my husband and I have a very good relationship, I feel like he is my only truest friend who knows every intimate detail of my life, he knows my innermost being and I love that about our relationship. My hope is that I could have that with a friend as well one day. I hope that it would work to speak to you as I respect your insight.

Creativity doesn't come easy. It is often an act of resistance against chaos and other de-personalizing forces. In this episode, author Mitali Perkins joins Mark Labberton to discuss her latest book Just Making: A Guide for Compassionate Creatives. Known for her acclaimed novels for young readers—including You Bring the Distant Near and Rickshaw Girl—Perkins reflects on the creative life as both a gift and a struggle, marked by tenderness and tenacity. With candour about rejection, moments of mortification, and the relentless call to keep making, Perkins offers encouragement for artists who want their work to be both beautiful and just. Episode Highlights “I was very, very close myself to giving up on the creative life.” “Any time we're bringing order from chaos, there's going to be pushback—and it's diabolical pushback.” “Stories widened my heart, they widened my mind, they gave me a sense of calling that I was not just here for myself.” “We can't put on our faith like lace and bows; it has to be in the bones of the story.” “When I feel that embarrassment, that mortification, if I can just stay and do something physical to honour my work, goodness comes pouring back.” “To not write it, after hearing your passion to combat this foe of our age, would be exactly what the diabolical enemy wants us to do.” Helpful Links and Resources Just Making: A Guide for Compassionate Creatives by Mitali Perkins *You Bring the Distant Near* by Mitali Perkins (National Book Award finalist) Rickshaw Girl (adapted into a film) *Steeped in Stories: Timeless Children's Novels to Refresh Our Tired Souls* by Mitali Perkins The Dangerous Act of Worship by Mark Labberton Kiva Microloans About Mitali Perkins Mitali Perkins writes novels for young readers that cross borders and break down walls. Her books include You Bring the Distant Near, a National Book Award nominee; Rickshaw Girl, now a feature film; and Tiger Boy, winner of the South Asia Book Award. Born in Kolkata, India, Perkins immigrated to the United States as a child and has published with major houses including Penguin Random House, Charlesbridge, Candlewick, and Little, Brown. Her newest book for adults, Just Making: A Guide for Compassionate Creatives, encourages artists to persist with both tenderness and tenacity. She speaks widely at schools, libraries, and conferences. More at mitaliperkins.com. Show Notes Perkins describes the heart of Just Making as born from nearly giving up on the creative life during the pandemic. Creativity, tenderness, and tenacity “I was very, very close myself to giving up on the creative life.” Just Making: a survival guide for writers and artists facing rejection, discouragement, and the sense that their work doesn't matter The struggles of the creative life Perkins speaks candidly about rejection, failed manuscripts, and the long twelve-year gap between her first and second published books. “You end up looking at the exterior packaging—my career looks amazing on social media—but inside it's pride, vainglory, rejections, bad reviews.” Practices such as finding “third spaces” and championing one's own work sustain her through rejection. Childhood, immigration, and storytelling Born in Kolkata, India, Perkins immigrated to New York at age seven. She calls herself a “feral reader,” devouring fourteen hundred novels in four years as a child “Stories widened my heart, they widened my mind, they gave me a sense of calling that I was not just here for myself.” Obstacles and motivation during her upbringing as the daughter of refugees Encountering faith through story Growing up in a Hindu home and finding coming to Christ in college Through reading the Gospels and C.S. Lewis, she encountered Jesus as “the true story behind all the stories.” Conversion and baptism while a student at Stanford Writing, justice, and flourishing “We can't put on our faith like lace and bows; it has to be in the bones of the story.” Fiction that tackles themes of poverty, gender, courage, and flourishing Justice is defined not only as righting wrongs but fostering shalom—wholeness and human flourishing. Publishing industry and perseverance Perkins recounts the twelve-year struggle to publish her second book, revising manuscripts dozens of times. “It was twelve years between my first book and my second book.” Tenacity grounded in prayer and a sense of God's invitation: “I've got the heavy yoke; will you walk with me?” Moments of humiliation Perkins shares a public humiliation at a book signing where no one lined up for her book. Choosing not to leave, she pulled out her manuscript and began editing “When I feel that embarrassment, that mortification, if I can just stay and do something physical to honor my work, goodness comes pouring back.” How Rickshaw Girl was published and adapted into a film Coaching for creatives Perkins counsels Mark Labberton on his unfinished book about fear “To not write it, after hearing your passion to combat this foe of our age, would be exactly what the diabolical enemy wants us to do.” How to embrace imperfection and see writing as part of a larger communal conversation Community and the impact of children's literature Direct engagement with children in classrooms and libraries How young readers form friendships with her characters and are inspired toward justice How books like Rickshaw Girl and her forthcoming The Golden Necklace connect global justice issues with young readers' imaginations Production Credits Conversing is produced and distributed in partnership with Comment magazine and Fuller Seminary.

In this episode of The Unapologetic Man Podcast, host Mark Sing explains why men have such an intrinsic fear of rejection. Mark breaks down how it's wired into your DNA, a leftover from our tribal past that has no relevance in the modern day. To help you overcome this obstacle, Mark reveals his strategy called “Rejection Maxing”—a practical method for systematically desensitizing yourself to rejection by going out and deliberately getting rejected in low-stakes situations.

Key Takeaways: - Why fear of rejection exists in your brain and why it's completely natural. - How to systematically desensitize yourself to rejection with “Rejection Maxing.” - Turning potentially scary situations into playful challenges that build confidence. - Using persona and avatar techniques to practice approaching women without real-world risk.

What if the very thing holding your business back isn't strategy or followers—but the fear of being seen? In this episode of the Gloria Chou PR Podcast, I sit down with Stacey Brass-Russell—Broadway performer turned transformational business coach and host of Passionate & Prosperous. With a career spanning show business, yoga, and entrepreneurship, Stacey has mastered the art of showing up unapologetically and teaching others how to do the same.We dig into what it really takes to sell without feeling salesy, why confidence is a muscle you can build, and how to stop worrying about what everyone else thinks. If you've ever hesitated to press “send” on that pitch, this conversation is your permission slip to shine.How Do You Sell Without Feeling “Salesy”?Stacey breaks down the difference between bro-marketer tactics and authentic selling. Instead of cold DMs and pushy tactics, she shares how to build real relationships and show up in service of your audience—so selling feels natural, not cringe.What If You're Afraid of Rejection?Rejection isn't just part of the game—it's proof you're actually playing. Stacey explains why she encourages her clients to collect rejections as a measure of progress and why your job isn't to convince everyone, but to find the right ones.The One Habit That Builds Confidence in BusinessConfidence doesn't just show up. Stacey reveals the daily mindset practices—affirmations, reframing, and radical permission—that fuel resilience and visibility.Personal Outreach: The Most Overlooked Sales StrategyForget obsessing over Instagram. Stacey makes the case for direct, human connection as the #1 activity that moves the needle in your business.Why Nobody's Thinking About You (and That's a Good Thing)One of Stacey's most freeing insights: people aren't scrutinizing your every move. In fact, most of the time, they're not thinking about you at all. That's why volume and consistency in outreach, pitching, and posting matter more than perfection.✅ Final Takeaway: You don't need to master every marketing hack or wait for the perfect pitch. What you need is:A daily practice that builds confidence and resilienceThe courage to connect directly with peopleThe willingness to be visible, imperfectlyWhen you stop worrying about what everyone else thinks and start leading with service, you'll unlock the kind of authentic visibility that grows your business.

Start the things, create the content, show our face, say what we want to say. And if it doesn't land, it doesn't land. You know, if anything, you learn a lesson from it and every lesson there is gratitude for it.” [13:16] Be Curious About Yourself “‘What offends you, is for you.' That was the most powerful thing I've heard.” [16:38] Growth Through Connection “If you are looking to expand who you are, expand your brand, you've got to get in front of other audiences. Share your story, talk about things, and not just on Instagram. You got to connect with the right people.

Rejection hurts—we all know it. Whether it's losing a wedding client to another florist, getting ghosted after pouring hours into a proposal, or even receiving a harsh review, rejection can feel like a personal attack. But here's the truth: rejection is not the end—it's simply redirection.In this minisode of the Floral CEO Podcast, I share how to reframe rejection so it no longer defines your self-worth or stalls your momentum. With over 1,700 weddings under my belt, I've faced more “no's” than I can count—and each one helped refine my business and strengthen my resilience.You'll learn how to:✨ Normalize rejection as a natural part of growth.✨ Separate yourself from the outcome.✨ Turn rejection into redirection and hidden feedback.✨ Build resilience like a muscle—recover quickly and get back to showing up.✨ Anchor rejection back to your WHY so you can keep moving forward with confidence.Rejection isn't proof that you're failing—it's proof that you're showing up. Every “no” gets you closer to the right “yes.”
