Most people think anxious attachment means someone "loves harder," cares more, or is just afraid of losing you… but the truth is deeper and far more complicated. In this episode, we break down the psychology and neuroscience behind anxious attachment and why it can turn relationships into emotional pressure rather than connection. If you've ever felt smothered by someone's "love," guilty for needing space, or responsible for someone else's emotional stability, this episode will give you clarity and tools to break the cycle. We'll explore: ◼ why anxious attachment turns affection into urgency ◼ how fear becomes disguised as love ◼ the brain chemicals responsible for panic-bonding ◼ why they want YOU to regulate their emotions ◼ how guilt is used (consciously or unconsciously) to keep you close ◼ why you get trapped in rescuing ◼ how your nervous system gets hooked by their panic ◼ what to STOP doing immediately ◼ how to step out of caretaker mode without abandoning yourself ◼ how to set boundaries without becoming the villain You'll learn how to recognize the difference between real intimacy and emotional dependency, how to protect your peace, and how to stop being someone's emotional stabilizer. This episode will give you clarity, language, tools, and permission. Especially if you're tired of feeling responsible for other people's emotional worlds.

At first, he was open to communicating about their needs. He seemed keen on trying to be better. They were great together - both feeling safe to be vulnerable for the first time, then something changed.  He started to feel pressured and needed space. She gave him that space only to have a conversation later that confused her. Join me as I discussed with Sarah what are some of the red flags she might be missing right now and how she can navigate working with someone she is no longer in a relationship with but also hopes to get back together with...someday. What does she need to do differently should they get back together. I would love to hear your thoughts on this episode.

Key Takeaways:Understanding how thoughts and feelings contribute to decision-making is key to influential leadership. Influential leadership creates sustainable workforces with less turnover and more productivity.The first step towards becoming an influential leader is to go inward. Be willing to understand how the thoughts, beliefs, and experiences that you had when you were young impact the decisions that you make today.Guilt is when we feel bad for what we do, and shame is when we feel bad about who we are. Most things that upset us originate from deeply rooted feelings of guilt and shame. When navigating conflicts of others or your own, pay attention to what's making you and others feel uncomfortable.An influential leader's job is to create more good leaders. When you practice influential leadership, not only are you creating a more influential and conscious leadership for yourself, but you're also teaching others how their thoughts and feelings contribute to their everyday decision-making, which helps them resolve things internally. “Every minute we spend in clean-up conversations that could have been avoided with better communication and leadership - we're moving away from the work we were called to do.” “You have to be willing to go inside, and understand what thoughts and beliefs were implanted in you when you were young, and how those can be affecting the decision-making that you make today.” “When you find yourself in a conflict or navigating somebody else's conflict, first you have to pay attention to what's happening in your body, what am I feeling? And then seeing other people - there's something inside of them that's uncomfortable with this, what can we do?”  “Good leaders create more good leaders and influential leaders; their job is to create more good leaders.”- Maryanne Dersch   Let's Work Together to Amplify Your Leadership + Influence1.

Most people would probably be surprised to know how seller financing in 1031 exchanges can work. A seller wants to do a 1031 exchange, but they end up with a buyer asking for owner financing. Do they have to reject the offer? Not necessarily. If structured properly, a note can be created (giving the buyer what they need) and then sold, giving the seller the cash they need for their upleg. In this month's Property & Paper Live, I break down exactly how seller financing in 1031 exchanges works in the real world — plus the pitfalls, timeline traps, and creative strategies that experienced investors use to pull these deals together smoothly.

Key Takeaways:Supporters engage for a reason, a season, or a lifetime, each bringing unique value. Instead of expecting long-term loyalty from everyone, recognize the natural ebb and flow. Gratitude for every contribution keeps the relationship healthy and grounded.Tourists, seasonal residents, and townies each play a meaningful role in the ecosystem. One-time donors bring energy, visibility, and new connections when they matter most. Long-term supporters reveal themselves through aligned values and deeper engagement.Lasting relationships grow through purpose, connection, and involvement beyond giving. Inviting donors into stories, conversations, or behind-the-scenes roles builds ownership. When people feel seen and included, loyalty naturally strengthens and expands.Not every donor will stay forever, and that is part of a healthy pipeline. Letting go with appreciation frees energy to invest in aligned relationships. Focusing on shared values ensures every interaction remains meaningful and mutual. “Our job is to give them meaningful experience while they're with us and release them with gratitude when they're ready to go.” “Every donor plays a role in your ecosystem. You know, tourists bring energy and visibility, townies bring depth and sustainability, and there's space in between them, where just the relationships involved.” “Relationship first, money will follow that. Build belonging, not just giving.” - Maryanne Dersch   Let's Work Together to Amplify Your Leadership + Influence1.

Key Takeaways:Goals are meant to guide, not judge. When they serve as a compass instead of a scorecard, they inspire growth and unity instead of strain or shame. Progress becomes something to celebrate, not a verdict on worth.Nonprofit leaders often walk the line between big dreams and achievable results. Rigid focus on financial targets can create tension and burnout, but realistic goals rooted in purpose help teams stay motivated and grounded.True success goes beyond numbers. Relationships, learning, and consistent effort shape sustainable impact. By valuing process over perfection, organizations can find meaning in every outcome—good or bad.Lasting results come from people, not pressure. Relationship-building should be prioritized over transactions, with gratitude and reflection fueling resilience, renewal, and authentic growth for the long run. “Rejection isn't the opposite of success. It is part of success.” “Goals should stretch us, not strain us. They should unite, connect us, not divide us, and they should inspire us to grow, not shame us for being human.” “Remember: every ‘no' refines your ‘yes'. You're not rejected, you're redirected. Rejection is protection.”- Maryanne Dersch   Let's Work Together to Amplify Your Leadership + Influence1.

What if stewardship isn't just about money — but every part of your life? In this episode of The Working Wealth Podcast, Patrick Rogers sits down with Jason Malone, Directional Pastor at Fellowship Greenville, to talk about what it really means to live as a faithful steward. From church planting and leadership to money, time, health, and purpose — Jason shares how true stewardship is about managing everything God has entrusted to us. They explore how faith shapes financial decisions, why balance isn't always the goal, and how our approach to work, family, and money can become an act of worship. Key Takeaway: Stewardship isn't about giving something up — it's about aligning what you've been given with who gave it to you.

Grandparenting can be a gift—or a point of tension—depending on how generational differences are navigated. In this episode, Jenny Brown speaks with two special guests, Selden Illick and her daughter-in-law Alison Illick, about the subtle and powerful dynamics between grandparents, parents, and children. Drawing on Bowen family systems theory, they explore how patterns of anxiety, closeness, and loyalty ripple through three generations, and what differentiation looks like as adult children step into parenthood while their parents become grandparents.Listeners will hear real stories of family life and discover how understanding family systems theory can help shift well-meaning interference into meaningful support, so that the presence of grandparents strengthens, rather than strains, the family system. Parents will gain practical insight into setting boundaries, preserving their authority, and fostering healthier connections with grandparents while reducing tension at home.Selden Dunbar Illick founded the Princeton Family Center in 1987 based on Murray Bowen's natural systems theory and is now Trustee Emerita of its educational branch. She has served on the Florida Family Research Network board and is active in the New England Study of Bowen Theory. Formerly in private practice in New Jersey and Florida (1983–2004), she now consults in Massachusetts, helping people apply Bowen theory to family, work, and social systems. A frequent presenter on the impact of unresolved childhood patterns, she recently contributed a chapter on emotional attachments and chronic illness in Death and Chronic Illness in the Family: Bowen Family Theory Perspectives.Alison Illick lives in New Haven, Connecticut with her husband, Christopher, and their four sons. A former New York City public school teacher with degrees from Columbia University, she later supported her husband's medical practice in various roles. In recent years, she has studied Bowen theory at the Princeton Family Center for Education and the Bowen Center in Washington, DC. Alison finds the framework a valuable way to understand family and work systems and focuses on managing herself within them—an interest first sparked in college and later encouraged by her mother-in-law, Selden.LinksSelden as a previous guest on our podcasthttps://parenthopeproject.com.au/podcasts/grandparenting-relationships/The Princeton Family Center, New Jerseyhttps://www.princetonfamilycenter.org/Selden speaking on relevant topicshttps://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=921333534908389Newsletter-https://parenthopeproject.com.au/#newsletter Youtube-http://www.youtube.com/@ParentHopeProject Facebook-https://www.facebook.com/coachingparents Instagram-https://www.instagram.com/parenthopeproject/ LinkedIn-https://www.linkedin.com/company/79093727/admin/feed/posts/ Website-https://parenthopeproject.com.au/ Contact us: Contact@parentproject.com.au (02) 9904 5600

Key Takeaways:True commitment begins with finding like-minded people, not convincing others to care. Instead of pitching or pushing, nonprofits should focus on shared values and invite donors into a community built on authentic connection.Meaningful conversations start with listening, not selling. By asking thoughtful questions and validating donors' stories, organizations create space for people to feel seen and heard, laying the groundwork for lasting trust.Letting go of results transforms how we communicate. When fundraisers detach from fear or pressure, they become more open to honesty, mutual respect, and new possibilities that turn rejection into redirection and growth.Donors move naturally toward giving when each step feels like their choice. Using small yeses, open-ended questions, and calm follow-ups helps convert interest into action while maintaining dignity and genuine rapport. “People buy to the level they feel seen and heard. Your job isn't to convince—it's to listen.” “If you're making friends with someone because they have money, that's manipulation. Build relationships first; the money will follow.” “Authentic, honest, transparent relationships create loyal donors for life.”- Maryanne Dersch   Let's Work Together to Amplify Your Leadership + Influence1.

In this episode, Lori breaks down what it really means to rehabilitate your ego—not destroy it. Most people live entirely from their Id, the impulsive part of the mind that seeks comfort, validation, and control at any cost. But when you learn to balance the Id, Ego, and Superego, you stop reacting from fear and start responding from awareness. You'll discover: *The difference between a healthy ego and an inflated one. *How the Id drives impulsive behavior, emotional reactivity, and control issues.  *Why “ego death” isn't the goal—ego integration is. *How to retrain the ego to support your higher self instead of sabotaging it. *Real practices from ACT Therapy and cognitive defusion to detach from ego-driven stories. *How to recognize when your Id is running your relationships, habits, and inner dialogue. If you've ever felt stuck between wanting peace and needing control, this episode will help you step into clarity and rebuild a healthy inner authority. Your ego isn't the enemy—it's your untrained protector. Teach it peace, not power. Become A Patreon: www.patreon.com/thepositivityxperience Let's Work Together: www.thepositivityxperience.com  

Javan Van Gronigen is the Co-Founder of Donately, a leading fundraising platform that has processed over $180M in donations for 1,400+ nonprofits. With 15+ years in digital marketing and social impact, he helped create accessible, transparent fundraising technology after his work on the global Kony 2012 campaign. Key Takeaways:Nonprofits thrive when they align marketing, storytelling, and data into a unified approach that strengthens both mission and message, especially when working with small teams and limited resources.Tools like Donately, Google Analytics, and AI empower nonprofits to personalize donor experiences, track engagement, and make informed decisions that drive sustainable growth.Establishing a steady rhythm—such as quarterly roadmaps—helps organizations stay consistent while leaving room to explore new ideas, platforms, and emerging technologies.Nonprofits that take risks, communicate openly, and lead with authenticity build stronger trust, greater visibility, and lasting donor relationships. “Act like for-profit businesses, take those risks. You will be rewarded for that if you're more bold and you go after being unique in that space.”“With AI...you just have the ability to audit and look through mounds of information far better than you used to. Understanding who your audience is, what's working, what's not, that's really critical.”“If you don't know where your donors are coming from, you don't know where to put your money.”   - Javan Van Gronigen Reach out to Javan Van Gronigen at:Website: http://www.donately.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/javanvangronigen/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/wearedonatelyInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/donately_org/X: https://x.com/donately   Let's Work Together to Amplify Your Leadership + Influence1.

Share a glimpse of your satisfaction or contentment in a “9 Word Telegram.” 3 lines. 3 words on each line. First line is the beginning of your story. Second line is the middle of your story. Third line is the resolution or conclusion. For example:Day breaks coldTrekking forested hillsWon't back down!ORDemocracy under assaultMillions defy lawlessnessRallied nation rebornORFall down 7Get up 8Persevere through hardship CTA: If you're ready (or getting ready to be ready) to work together to make your written or spoken word clear, concise and cogent please feel welcome to reach out to me at Quarter Moon Story Arts for your free Story Start-up Session.  You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

We've all been there—waiting for that apology, explanation, or “one last talk” that never really brings peace. In this episode, Lori dismantles the myth of closure and explains why the human mind—and especially the ego—becomes obsessed with resolution after loss, betrayal, or abandonment. Using psychology, neuroscience, and raw honesty, she breaks down: *Why your brain loops unfinished stories (Zeigarnik effect) and how to close them internally. *How your ego uses the need for closure to avoid vulnerability and surrender. *The link between attachment styles and craving closure. *The neuroscience of rejection and why emotional pain registers as physical pain. *How to stop negotiating with reality when you don't get answers, justice, or validation.  *Powerful techniques to self-close: somatic rituals, reality acceptance, and reframing. If you've ever said “I just need closure,” this episode will change the way you think about healing forever. You'll walk away with a new understanding of how to free yourself from emotional loops, rebuild safety inside your body, and let go—without permission. Closure isn't a conversation. It's the moment you stop negotiating with reality. Become A Patreon: www.patreon.com/thepositivityxperience.com Let's Work Together: www.thepositivityxperience.com
