For a long time, codependency has been framed as weakness or passivity—that's why so many strong, capable, high-functioning women hear that word and immediately think, that is absolutely not me. In this episode, I explore where the concept of codependency actually came from and why that original definition often doesn't fit. When we widen the lens, codependency starts to look a lot more like over-functioning and organizing your time, energy, and identity around other people. When we can understand it in that way, it opens up a much more honest and hopeful path forward. Here's what I cover:Why the original addiction-based definition of codependency misses how it shows up for high-functioning womenHow control can turn into codependency and start to replace your self-connectionWhat it looks like when your identity is built around being needed or emotionally steadyHow codependency costs you your time, energy, and brain space, whether it feels like over-functioning or under-functioningQuestions to help you notice where you're managing others in order to feel okayFind Sara here:https://sarafisk.coachhttps://pages.sarafisk.coach/difficultconversationshttps://www.instagram.com/sarafiskcoach/https://www.facebook.com/SaraFiskCoaching/https://www.tiktok.com/@sarafiskcoachhttps://www.youtube.com/@sarafiskcoaching1333What happens inside the free Stop People Pleasing Facebook Community?

Long-term care is one of the most personal topics in financial planning, and also one of the most frequently avoided.Melissa Joy, CFP®, is joined by Pearl Planning colleague Alexa Kane, CFP®, to unpack how families can think about care earlier and more realistically.This conversation goes beyond nursing homes to explore in-home care, assisted living, and memory care, along with the emotional and financial realities families face when care is needed. Melissa and Alexa explain why long-term care planning often affects women more heavily, why waiting until later in life can limit options, and how today's long-term care solutions differ from the policies many people remember from past generations.Rather than assuming insurance is the answer for everyone, they walk through how Pearl Planning approaches long-term care thoughtfully, weighing costs, health considerations, family dynamics, and alternatives. The discussion also highlights what modern hybrid policies are designed to do, how underwriting works, and what options exist for those who cannot or choose not to pursue insurance.Key takeaways include:Why long-term care planning is often a bigger issue for womenHow rising care costs can impact retirement plans and family decisionsThe importance of starting the conversation earlier than most people expectThe difference between traditional long-term care insurance and newer hybrid optionsPractical alternatives to insurance, including self-funding and housing-based strategiesThis episode offers a calm, realistic framework for approaching a difficult topic and encourages listeners to plan ahead before long-term care becomes an urgent decision.The previous presentation by PEARL PLANNING was intended for general information purposes only.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Mindy Pelz, bestselling author, thought leader, and one of the most trusted voices in women's health, for a powerful conversation about what really happens to us in midlife.Dr. Mindy isn't just talking about menopause as a hormonal shift, but as a profound transformation of the brain, body, and identity. From burnout and people-pleasing to leadership and self-trust, this conversation reframes midlife not as a breakdown, but as a breakthrough.This episode is about reclaiming the girl within you, her curiosity, her wisdom, her strength, and learning how to age like a girl with intention, science, and self-compassion.In this episode, we discuss:Why menopause is a neurological rewiring, not just a drop in estrogenHow the loss of estrogen impacts mood, motivation, memory, and identityThe “people-pleasing” brain and why women stop caring so much after 50Why midlife burnout is often a signal of transformation, not failureThe science behind fasting, ketones, and brain health in postmenopausal womenHow exercise needs to change in menopause, and why more isn't always betterThe role of muscle, creatine, collagen, and movement in aging wellWhy women are biologically wired for leadership in the second half of lifeThe butterfly metaphor for midlife transformation and becoming who you truly areHow to advocate for yourself with doctors and build a healthcare team that listensWhy involving partners in the menopause conversation matters more than we thinkFor more on Dr. Mindy Pelz, follow her on:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.mindypelz Website: https://www.drmindypelz.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/drmindypelz TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@drmindypelz Buy her newest book Age Like a Girl: https://a.co/d/hDptHZz Thanks to my Sponsors:Ritual: For a limited time, save 40% on your first month at Ritual.com/OVER50 Honeylove: Use our exclusive link to save 20% off Honeylove at honeylove.com/OVER50 Hero Bread: Go to hero.co and use code FLOURISHING at checkout for 10% off your order.Veracity: For up to 45% off your order, head to VeracityHealth.co and use code FLOURISHINGBrado: Head to Brodo.com/FLOURISHING for 20% off your first subscription order and use code FLOURISHING for an additional $10 off.

In this episode of Yo Quiero Dinero, Jannese sits down with Mariana Barajas, licensed therapist and money coach aka @lamoneytherapist to unpack the deep, emotional connection between mental health and money.From first-gen pressure and eldest-daughter trauma to scarcity mindsets, over-spending, money hoarding, and burnout, this conversation goes beyond budgeting tips and gets to the root of our financial behaviors. Because let's be real: most of us already know what to do with money—what stops us is what's happening in our nervous system.Mariana breaks down how childhood experiences, cultural conditioning, and subconscious beliefs shape the way we earn, spend, save, and invest—and what it actually takes to heal your relationship with money.If you've ever wondered why you can't keep money, why you're afraid to take financial risks, or why success still doesn't feel like enough… this episode is for you.What We Get Into00:01 – 02:00Mariana's background as a licensed therapist and money coachWhy mental health and financial wellness must be treated holistically02:01 – 05:00First-gen upbringing, eldest daughter pressure, and seeking parental validationHow childhood emotional neglect can shape adult ambition and burnout05:01 – 07:45Growing up with limited financial resourcesHow early awareness of money scarcity impacts confidence and decision-making07:46 – 10:10The fast dopamine hit of spending once you “finally make it”How retail therapy can quietly lead to debt and lifestyle inflation10:11 – 13:20Identifying subconscious money beliefsIntroduction to financial therapy and why budgeting alone isn't enough13:21 – 15:30The Money-Worthiness FrameworkChallenging limiting beliefs, building self-trust, and the role of community15:31 – 18:10People-pleasing, and cultural expectations placed on womenHow these beliefs impact earning, saving, and self-advocacy18:11 – 21:45Preparing for motherhood financially and emotionallyFunding maternity leave, wellness practices, and not losing yourself in motherhood21:46 – 24:00Fear-based money behaviors: hoarding, anxiety, and controlUnderstanding where “fear of losing everything” really comes from24:01 – 27:15Why some people can't hold onto moneySpending as a reflection of worthiness wounds and external validation27:16 – 30:45Values-based spending vs. keeping up appearancesLetting go of money decisions driven by comparison30:46 – 33:45Increasing income as a wealth strategyBreaking limiting beliefs around “acceptable” income in helping professions33:46 – 36:30Building generational wealth with intentionCustodial Roth IRAs, 529s, and giving kids financial options36:31 – 39:30Why funding your retirement is a gift to your childrenBreaking cycles of financial dependence and self-sacrifice39:31 – 41:45Supporting family financially without destroying your mental healthThe emotional weight of being the “sandwich generation”41:46 – 44:40How to work with MarianaFinancial therapy vs. coaching and knowing which one you needKey TakeawaysYour money habits didn't come out of nowhere—they were learned.Scarcity isn't just financial; it lives in your nervous system.Over-spending and under-earning often stem from worthiness wounds.Budgeting won't fix trauma—but healing trauma will fix your money.You don't need to do it all alone—community is part of wealth-building.Generational wealth is built over generations, not in one lifetime.Resources MentionedLatinx Therapy – Find culturally aligned therapistsFree Download: New Year Dinero Reset GuideA 10-step checklist to reset your finances for the new year — covering debt, budgeting, investing, insurance, and estate planning.

What does it mean to be good?It's a little word that carries a lot of weight for many of us. Be a good girl. Be a good friend. Be a good leader. Do good.Good can sound like praise, but become a cage of expectations and shoulds, a performance that chips away at our authenticity. Good is no longer something we are, but is how others see us. It leads us to people please and keep the peace at all costs. And that's especially true for women.All too often, when women are in leadership, their goodness is measured by how they make others feel–good, comfortable, understood. All of that matters. But when the measure of leadership becomes how comfortable other people feel around us, we lose something essential.We perform and manage emotions instead of building trust and respect. We seek to be liked and to fit in at the cost of real integrity and effectiveness. And likability is oh-so fleeting.Respect, integrity, and true belonging take time and discomfort to build, but they last.My guest today has written beautifully and bravely about the cost of being good, the truth of belonging, and the courage it takes to lead ourselves and others through discomfort.Elise Loehnen is the New York Times bestselling author of On Our Best Behavior: The Seven Deadly Sins and the Price Women Pay to be Good and the host of the podcast, Pulling the Thread, where she interviews cultural luminaries about the big questions of today, including people like Joy Harjo, John and Julie Gottman, Dr. Gabor Maté, and Esther Perel. In addition to On Our Best Behavior, she is the author of a corresponding workbook—Choosing Wholeness Over Goodness—with coach Courtney Smith (July 2025), and the co-author of True & False Magic, with legendary psychiatrist Phil Stutz. Elise lives in Los Angeles with her husband, Rob, and their sons, Max and Sam.Listen to the full episode to hear:How Elise traced the cultural roots of the “good woman” back to early Christianity and the many additions, erasures, and mistranslations of Biblical storiesWhy we need to pay attention to our envy and how it shows up in relation to other womenHow envy, pride, and greed fuel each other and the ways we stay small and tear other women downHow social media has heightened the risk of reputational damage and changed how women work and lead, for better and worseWhy we latch onto ideas of goodness and purity more deeply in times of greater uncertaintyHow current narratives about the “natural” order are ahistorical manipulations that limit what we believe is possibleLearn more about Elise Loehnen:WebsitePulling the Thread on SubstackInstagram: @eliseloehnenOn Our Best Behavior: The Price Women Pay to Be GoodChoosing Wholeness Over Goodness: A Process for Reclaiming Your Full SelfTrue and False Magic: A Tools WorkbookLearn more about Rebecca:rebeccaching.comWork With RebeccaThe Unburdened Leader on SubstackSign up for the weekly Unburdened Leader EmailResources:Braving the Wilderness: The Quest for True Belonging and the Courage to Stand Alone, Brené BrownEP 123: Befriending Your Nervous System: Building Capacity for Regulation with Deb DanaThe Intrinsic Order that Emerges from Within Chaos (Elinor Dickson, PhD)Dancing in the Flames: The Dark Goddess in the Transformation of Consciousness, Elinor Dickson and Marion Woodman EP 88: Right-Use-of-Power: Navigating Leadership Dynamics with Dr. Cedar BarstowEP 125: Power, Regulation, and Leadership: Connecting to Your Personal Power with Dr. Amanda AguileraThe Reprioritization of Relationship (Lori Gottlieb)Maybe You Should Talk To Someone: A Therapist, HER Therapist, and Our Lives Revealed, Lori GottliebLessons from Hollywood's Most Powerful Woman—And How They Can Help You (with Donna Langley) | Aspire with Emma GredeAnswer to Job, Carl JungAion: Researches Into the Phenomenology of the Self, Carl JungThe Science of Magic: How the Mind Weaves the Fabric of Reality, Dean Radin PhDMistakes Were Made (but Not By Me): Why We Justify Foolish Beliefs, Bad Decisions, and Hurtful Acts, Carol Tavris and Elliot AronsonSigur Rós - YouTubeJónsi - YouTubeLove IslandThe Gilded AgeMaidenStutz

This conversation dives into the nitty-gritty of sexual wellness, hormone health, and the intimate connections that so many of us struggle to talk about—even with our partners. Dr. Diane Mueller joins me to unpack how our menstrual cycles influence libido, why stress and cortisol wreak havoc on desire, and the profound difference between arousal and desire (spoiler: most women experience arousal before desire, not the other way around).We're breaking down the myths Hollywood and pop culture have sold us about sex, exploring how communication can transform intimacy, and getting real about the physical and hormonal changes that happen during perimenopause and menopause. This isn't just about sex—it's about reclaiming pleasure, reducing shame, and understanding that your body isn't broken, it's just talking to you in a different language.In this episode we explore:How libido naturally shifts throughout the menstrual cycle and what that means for desireThe critical difference between arousal and desire—and why women typically need arousal firstWhy stress and cortisol are massive disruptors to sexual wellness and hormone balanceThe unrealistic expectations created by movies and porn—and why penetrative sex alone doesn't work for most womenHow to have conversations with your partner about changing needs without shame or blameThe impact of perimenopause and menopause on vaginal health, circulation, and pelvic floor tensionAbout Dr. Diane MuellerDr. Diane Mueller, ND, DAOM, is a seasoned sexual wellness authority, blending a strong educational foundation with a rich clinical and teaching experience.

When most women think about testosterone, they think of it as a “male hormone.” But the truth is, testosterone plays a powerful role in women's health — especially in your 40s and 50s.In this episode, I share my personal experience with low testosterone, the symptoms women often overlook, and what happened when I increased my dose. We'll talk about:The direct symptoms of low testosterone in womenHow to know when it's time to get testedWhat labs to request and how to read “normal” vs. “optimal” levelsThe safest and most effective methods of taking testosterone (and why I don't recommend pellets)Possible side effects, how long it takes to see results, and who should not take testosteroneWhy lifestyle — stress, nutrition, and training — is just as important as hormone therapyAs always, I'm not a doctor — I'm a certified nutrition coach and FNMS graduate. I don't treat, diagnose, or prescribe, but I do help women understand their labs and empower them to have informed conversations with their doctors.If you've been curious about testosterone and whether it could be the missing piece for your energy, strength, and confidence, this episode will give you clarity and direction.Thank you so much for listening, please share with a friend and subscribe so you don't miss an episode!If you want to see how we can help you on your journey, book a quick 10-15 minute call so we can chat about your goals!https://www.menopotmeltdown.com/quickchatnow Now accepting clients!

Known for his unforgettable characters, sold-out comedy shows, and larger-than-life presence, he seemed to be living at the peak of success. But in 2008, Kevin was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis—a diagnosis that reshaped his life and faith.Out of that brokenness came an unlikely encounter: a discarded statue of Mary found beside a dumpster. That moment became a turning point, leading Kevin to a deeper relationship with Christ, a renewed sense of hope, and a mission to help others find healing in their own brokenness.In This Episode, You'll Hear:Kevin's journey from comedy clubs and radio stardom to the challenges of MSThe story of how a broken statue of Mary became a vessel of grace and healingWhat Kevin learned about humility, faith, and the dignity of womenHow suffering can lead us to discover true joy and hopeKevin's message to anyone who longs for healing in their own lifeThis Episode Is For You If You've Ever Asked:How can faith transform suffering into hope?What does it mean to embrace brokenness as part of our journey?How can Mary, the Mother of God, draw us closer to her Son in times of trial?Resources Mentioned:Broken Mary: A Journey of Hope (Book & Movie) — Watch the film hereFollow Gotta Be Saints:Instagram: @gottabesaintsSubscribe, rate, and leave a review to help others discover stories of faith, healing, and holiness.Sponsored by TruthlyThis episode is brought to you by Truthly — the world's first Catholic action app helping you reflect and share your faith confidently.

Isn't it fascinating that we can work so hard and do all of the things, yet still feel a lack of fulfillment? And when we do have those moments of fulfillment, we often credit it to hustling and overachieving, when that's not actually where it's coming from. Your next level of success is not going to come from pushing harder or spreading yourself more thin; it is going to come as you can slow down and hold still long enough for your brilliance to begin to shine.Today, we are talking about a topic very close to my heart: wholeness over hustle–and how finding balance in life allows you to heal from burnout. This theme has been woven throughout this podcast over the years, but I wanted to explore it exclusively today for one very special reason. The book I have co-authored with 12 of my Master Coaches, She Rises: Insights and Wisdom from the Women of the Masterful Coach Collective, is coming out this month, and my chapter is all about why prioritizing wholeness over hustle needs to be the new standard for high-achieving women who want to actually create the life they desire.For too long, hustle culture has conditioned us to believe that we must constantly do more. Not only are we supposed to work harder when it comes to business and finances, but in our personal lives as well. There is pressure—especially for women—to be the glue holding everything together. This is not sustainable, and it's ultimately causing unbelievably high levels of stress in more of us every day. If you are a high achiever and you're ready to feel at peace, deeply alive, and actually fulfilled, instead of like you're always running on empty, this episode is truly for you.When you intentionally make space in your life for more downtime and fewer things on your to-do list, not only will you be able to achieve more, but you will connect more in relationships and live the fullest, richest life possible. Truly mastering yourself, your life, and your emotions comes when you know your worth beyond the confines of hustle culture and can cultivate the stillness necessary for real success. I've witnessed the power of this magical secret to personal fulfillment firsthand, and I'm passionate about teaching each of you to achieve it too. Let's do it!What you'll learn:How my chapter of She Rises provides specific evidence of how slowing down is a strategy for successWhy you can break the pattern of overachieving when you value yourself moreWhat over-responsibility means and a surprising statistic about how it impacts womenHow to begin to know your worth outside of hustle cultureWhy inspiration and creativity can't flourish when you are overwhelmed by trying to prove yourselfYou can read the full show notes here.Connect with Molly ClaireThe new book, She Rises: Insights and Wisdom from the Women of the Masterful Coach Collective, is coming soon!

Parenting is one of the hardest jobs you'll ever take on—and if you've ever thought “am I doing this wrong?” you're not alone. In this episode, we're talking about the reality of raising kids while also doing the deep personal work of breaking cycles, letting go of perfection, and teaching our children resilience. From navigating the messy middle years (ages 7–10) to dealing with confidence dips, complaints, and those mirror-like moments where you see yourself reflected back in your child, we open up about the challenges—and the opportunities—that come with motherhood. You'll hear honest stories, laughter, and encouragement for letting go of the Pinterest-perfect ideal and embracing parenting as preparation, not protection. Tune in as we share the hard truths and hopeful perspectives every mom needs to hear: you're not failing—it's just really, really hard. Today we cover:Why the middle years of parenting can feel like a gauntlet (and how to cope)The myth of perfection and why Pinterest-style parenting isn't sustainableBuilding resilience in kids by letting them face challenges and make choicesBreaking generational cycles and redefining legacy for future womenHow to navigate your own healing while guiding your children Connect with Whitney & Stephanie: captureyourconfidencepodcast@gmail.comStephanie IG: @_stephanie_hanna_The Other 85: https://theother85.net/Whitney IG: @whitneyabrahamJoin the State of Women Conference on October 9, 2025: https://whitneyabraham.kartra.com/page/stateofwomenconference

Is your husband avoiding intimacy... and you don't know why?In this raw and unfiltered conversation, we unpack four brutally honest reasons your husband may not want sex — and what it means for your marriage.Many wives silently wonder: "Why doesn't my husband want me anymore?" Whether you're emotionally connected (or not) but sexually distant, it can feel devastating. But the truth is, low libido in men is rarely just about sex. Often, it's a symptom of deeper issues—and understanding those issues is the first step toward rebuilding connection and passion.We discuss:How processed food is reducing libido in men and womenHow porn addiction secretly destroys sexual desire in marriage and creates SAD (sexual arousal dysfunction)Why adultery (emotional or physical) leads to disconnectionThe painful truth about emotional rejection and naggingWhat you may unknowingly be doing to repel your husband sexuallyWhy physical, emotional, and attitudinal attractiveness matter in marriageHow to reignite mutual desire through sacrifice, growth, and emotional maturityThis is not a blame game—it's a wake-up call.

Send us a textAfter speaking with Britt Hartley in last week's episode, several listeners sent me the same video of Jared Halvorson attempting to call women back to the church. Today, I want to respond to that video and continue exploring how the tools of organized religion—Christianity in particular—were not designed with women in mind. We'll dive into the harmful ways institutions view women and examine how patriarchy affects everyone--even those with good intentions. Here's what I cover:How institutional patriarchy teaches even the most well-meaning men to uphold systems that don't serve womenWhy leaving the church can be an incredible reclamation of power for womenHow women are often cast as incompetent decision-makers so that men can “rescue” themThe problematic rebranding of sacrifice as an investmentHow all institutions–not just religious ones–depend on women staying small and helpfulWhat happens when women start connecting to themselves and making decisions based on what they truly believe is best for their livesI can't wait for you to listen.Jared Halvorson's apology video: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DH06jbisdK2/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA%3D%3D Crystal Hall: https://www.crystalhallphd.com/Find Sara here:https://sarafisk.coachhttps://pages.sarafisk.coach/difficultconversationshttps://www.instagram.com/sarafiskcoach/https://www.facebook.com/SaraFiskCoaching/https://www.tiktok.com/@sarafiskcoachhttps://www.youtube.com/@sarafiskcoaching1333What happens inside the free Stop People Pleasing Facebook Community?
